Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

You can start with a coursebook for your current level for starts. If your library has any, then that's a good option to start. If you want to validate your level instead (even for lower levels), you can take an exam, but that would probably be too soon for the moment.

If your listening comprehension is slow, you can find slower speaking sources, like InnerFrench or EasyFrench on YouTube. Otherwise, there are listening comprehension tests that you can do on https://francaisfacile.rfi.fr/ and others. Doing dictation exercises can help.

For reading books, you could try graded readers, but reading books in general in French is particular because of the tense used in literature. Graded readers will be easier at the start. Either that or books for children if it helps. Otherwise other sources like games that involve more reading or French news websites.

For grammar, you can also use exercise books, or you could use something like Kwiziq, but that's not free. Plenty of free grammar websites though like LawlessFrench.

You could do writing prompts and post them here for corrections. For speaking, you can join the voice channels or use something like italki.

Merci beaucoup ! I'll keep those tips in mind. I think It's also important to learn the language actively and apply it to your daily rutines, so you can start developing a decent "language ear", meaning you are able to think in the particular language, if you get what i'm saying?

It's better to pace yourself and learn consistently and actively, yes, than missing days and forgetting again. But it takes time in any case.
