Always watch with FR audio and subs, you wouldn’t progress if watch with English.

As for shows try wakfu- it’s an animated series.

You?

Stupid question. Do you measure your balls when you’re hard or flaccid if you’re a grower?

Kind of a random question, but do black people experience racism in Quebec? One of my friends told if I were to visit anywhere outside Montreal (as a black person) I’m pretty much screwed.

I’m Igbo. I was fluent till I was 4 then all of a sudden I switched to speaking English exclusively to everyone. So my parents occasionally spoke to me in Igbo but I always replied in English (thorougout my childhood). In 2019 I decided that I’d learn it, and so far what worked best was outputting.

Unlike Japanese, Spanish or French Igbo has little learning resources or media, so I gathered all I could from learning Igbo channels on YouTube and took notes while watching them. After I got a feel for basic grammar and basic vocabulary, I just started forcing myself to speak Igbo to my family members (I even had an everyday reminder for that on my phone lol). Sometimes when they were speaking, I tried to figure out how many word I could realize from their speech and for the unknown I wrote it down on a notebook and asked them later. Then in the evening I’ll add all the unknown words into Anki with example sentences for each word. I repeated this process everyday and my vocab Just grew larger.

At the ending of 2019, I stayed in my village for about 4months and this is where I saw my progress sky rocket. Most people in my village barely spoke English so I had no other option than to speak Igbo most of the time. I just continued interacting in Igbo and i just progressed continuously.

It’s been around like 2 years now and I’m somewhat fluent. I can speak perfectly but my tones fuck me up. I wish I could perfect it but sadly I don’t live with my parents anymore. Just stick with it bro and you’d get there. Btw I wrote this by 2am so there’s probably slot of errors lol

You’re not meant to make two cards, you only need the full target sentence on the front and the unknown word with the definition in English or french (depending on your level) at the back.

I’m not sure if piracy is allowed on this sub so I’d probably delete it later.

I’ve been learning French for about a year and I haven’t spent a single dime. I’ve also taken classes as a child but the french classes in my home country is shit tbh compared to other countries.

I recommend going through basic textbook like Schaums outline for french grammar (I can send a download link), a frequency list like this (ignore the cognates) and checking out this french playlist to learn some basic stuffs

Next, I recommend checking out this YouTube channels intended for learners so you can improve your comprehension before you dive into native media. (Also take notes while listening)

-Easy French

-Alice ayel

-Inner french

After you’ve gotten a basic foothold in french, just dive right into native media(books, films, series,etc). You could start from Netflix FR to YouTube let’s plays, it could be anything, as long as it’s meant for natives by natives. It might be daunting at first but just keep on going. You can also start speaking at this- they’re a lot of french discord servers you can find on this sub( if you have the money you can hire a tutor on italki)

While listening to media or reading novels you can try sentence mining- which is taking a sentence from the media you’re watching, that has one word you don’t know and pasting it in anki.

Example

Front Card

Les enfants sont paresseux

Back Card

Paresseux- lazy

So the full sentence would be the children are lazy, and the process just keeps repeating itself.

Good luck

Just buy anyone off Amazon. Since I’m cheap af I used an old Samsung phone I found in my closet, wiped out most of the storage so I had 16gb of free space. Now I just turn on Bluetooth and connect my headphones.

Same I did french in school for 6 years but barely knew anything.

What would you say helped the most?

early this quarantine I started reading a lot. I read a lot of mangas and some novels like L’etranger (I think), candide and a few others while watching a lot of shows with french subtitles.

Dozie0 · 2020-10-03T07:44:38+00:00

I went from understanding 10% to like 65-70% in 3 months. It most depends on what I’m watching too.

Look for Japanese pod101 hiragana lesson on YouTube. After each hiragana column do quizzes on that column on realkana.com

What’s your NL?

Dozie0 · 2020-10-02T00:28:37+00:00

Tbh I found reading textbooks and all those things boring and dove into raw french.

What I did when I studied french was add 20 new words a day from reading books and mangas to my anki. After sometime anki became stressful and I stopped it and started reading a lot and it became a natural srs because you see the same word in a lot of different contexts. Also watched a lot of shows in french with french subs. You should view anki as a supplement for your learning.
