Bonjour! Let's Learn French Together!

I am currently addicted to learn new languages after I traveled around Europe. It's just amazing to see how natives speak their languages with their original accents. It's also just annoying that you can't understand them as well. Besides, I've met some friends, they're just like me, ordinary medical students, but what distinct us is they speak more than 2 languages. Mariusz is one of them. This Polish guy is able to speak Polish, Czech, German, Russian, and English. Although he isn't too good at speaking those languages, but at least he understand some words and can communicate a lil bit. That piece of 'lil bit' has amazed me enough, indeed.


The languages I wanna learn a lil bit are Czech, German, and absolutely French. Czech, is because I've been there for a month so I knew some of the words and also its culture. German, is because I already learned it at high school and as I left the school I definitely didn't make any contact with it so it just gone. Moreover, few countries in Europe speak German, for example in Austria and Switzerland. I found it useful to be spoken especially for those who live in Europe.


French, for sure, is because the remarkable-yet-tickling accent. I've been obsessed with France things since I was a little anyway. My mobile and PC wallpaper were all French famous tourist attractions, like Eiffel, Arc du Triomphe, and Louvre. Now, I succeeded in visiting all those places (Yey!) and I wish I could speak French too.

Another problem found when you already decided which language you eager to learn is, where and how can we learn French from ? The answer is very easy, you can learn from Internet. Yeah, no need to purchase anything, you just have to turn on your laptop and connect to the internet. Done? Good.
Now I present you some 'learning and exchanging languages-things' website.

1. Livemocha

First of all, you should choose the language you want to learn and pick the course. When you finished doing the exercise, you can ask other user to review or leave a comment at your submission. No need to worry about the exercise, it's quite easy and you can leave whenever you want :)

2. MyLanguageExchange.com

Quite the same as Livemocha but this site is more user-centered. So when you already signed up, you choose other user as partner to learn new language. It's like learning and making new friends at one shot, isn't it ? Moreover, you can learn by text chat, voice chat, and play various games that would increase your skill.

3.  Youtube

Yeah, this is the site when you can find any videos including those who can help you learn french. You just type the keyword like 'learn french' and that's it. Choose the video and don't forget to repeat it. Remember, practice makes perfect, right ? I give you some video references for the early and basic learner like me.


So, all I can say now is Happy learning French, folks !! :D
