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.

Thank you French helpers of course. French is pretty important for employment and that is putting it lightly. I have Busuu as well.

For more clarification I'm asking for better direction on how to actually learn the French language. I've been kind of just winging it and losing motivation from self incompetence

My personal learning routine is

• reading & listening to media (best to have both, find stuff you like for instance video games, series, youtube, comics, anything)
• as you're reading/listening, note vocab and grammar points that stumped you (not everything, but for instance if you've seen something twice, or it really denied understanding)
• check those grammar points and do exercises about them
• add this new vocab to your flashcard app
• daily flashcards for vocab

flashcards might be less important for French tho as a lot of the vocab might be transparent

that routine is assuming you have good enough fundations to be able to manage some media and are not a total beginner

for the grammar points and doing exercises about them there's a university website called ''tex's french grammar'' that has a very extensive list of guides to all parts of speech with exercises to help you reinforce your learning. it also contains mp3 files so you can know how to pronounce those words
