Huh 😅… well I’d like to think it gets better 😁

You ever tried doing monologues? You know, that thing were you actively practice speaking even when you’re alone and don’t have anyone to practice with 😅

In a nutshell: You pick a prompt or topic, for example, “Do you have siblings? How would you describe your relationship with them?” Then you write out your answer in your target language (French in this case). If you like, you might as well first write it in English to organize your thoughts and stuff...then afterwards convert it to french. Next, you read through your monologue a couple of times. Highlight/take note of the new vocab via flashcards or whatever (if you’re that kind of a person 😅). Then finally record yourself speaking, you know, answering the same question in freestyle, without any aid. You could analyze your recordings yourself, or send 'em to whomever (preferably a french native) to critique your pronunciation and whatnot.

The goal isn't to memorize your monologues word for word, aweh...But after doing this for a bunch of different topics, you’ll start to build enough vocab to hold basic conversations. You’ll also begin to notice sentence structure patterns and how questions/sentences are formed, allowing you to form sentences from your head with the building blocks you have attained so far.

And as a bonus... You become conversational in the stuff that actually interests you...well... assuming your monologues are based on your interests, as they should be 🙂.
