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.

hi,
a language is a pretty massive thing, tips for learning one will usually be very generic how to learn and motivation stuff.
if you're getting started, there's little need to worry about anything, just pick good resources to help you out. One tip I can give you is to not rely heavily on "full-course" apps (especially duolingo). But you're probably gonna get guidance from your classes. You getting ahead of schedule to learn is usually sign you're gonna be fine.

I can recommend you check out this link, it's a collection of articles from beginner level onwards, pretty good to get started
you can learn basic grammar, vocab, as well as the key points of the language

#

if this is your first time learning a language, don't get discouraged if you don't understand stuff after learning for a couple hours. Understanding comes in layers and learning a language takes years.

I would note that some teachers, particularly for beginners, want you to strictly follow their syllabus and to not incorporate any knowledge you may have learned outside class. I don't think this is a particularly good way to teach, but it's a reality.

So I'd wait until you've met your teacher, gotten a syllabus, and seen what they're like, before starting to go learn things on your own. Then, as you're learning, if you need an extra explanation of something, using lawless french or simply searching for the topic online will give you a plethora of ressources
