I am happy to state the fact that we live in fantastic time! Communication time without borders! Globalization, which is in the way on the planet, and modern technologies, especially the Internet, not only allow us to communicate with anyone and at any distances, but also give each of us a teen "kick" in awareness of the need to study new languages. Of course, in the modern world with the knowledge of only one language, you can live, but every year it is difficult to do it, and not solid ...

And now you came to the fact that you need to start teaching French (in your will or under the oppression of circumstances (fell in love with the Frenchwoman)) I assure you - in any case you will not be disappointed! After all, besides the fact that it is one of the most beautiful languages \u200b\u200bof the world, he is another of the 5 most common. Along with English, in French communicate at all five continentsworld.

Where to start learning French.

Why start learning? Whatever enough, start with your own thinking. Most people wishing to master the new language face the fear of learning, many believe that the languages \u200b\u200bare not everyone is given, and that only the favorites can be polyglot. So, with all the responsibility, declare that these are groundless fears (if not to say that complete nonsense)! Language is a skill! None of us is born speaking in one language. We teach this in the course of life. And depending on the environment in which we were born, we assume in one way or another. Accordingly, if we managed once and we speak perfectly well, we read, write, thoughts, for example, in Russian, then we will definitely repeat our path and speak different languages, for example, French. You are internally must be sure that you can speak in other languages \u200b\u200b!!! This faith will determine your success. Of course, it will not be easy, since the study of a new language is work, and the work is not small. But you should know that you can achieve your goals, if you just be able to constantly do and not lean from performing tasks. The main thing in this business is to remember why you all started it, and then everything will work out.

And now we turn to 10 useful advice that you will be useful in the study of French.

Council1. Determine who you are by the type of perception.

Who are you: Audial (I remember better), Visual (trust vision), Kineetetic (you are important to sensitive experience, sensations) or discrete (perceive the world around us with logic). In the first lesson, I always find out from my students, what is the way to remember it closer. From this will depend on the entire subsequent method of filing the material and the learning process.

If you studied languages \u200b\u200bbefore, think about what worked for you, and what is not. If you find it difficult to attribute yourself to this or another type of perception, you can take a test on the endless spaces of the Internet. And perhaps you, like me, feel about mixed type and you, as well as me, it is important and hearing, and see, and feel the material, to think logically.

Council2. Start with phonetics and reading rules.

French phonetics is quite complex. Despite the fact that the pronunciation of most letters of the French alphabet is similar to the pronunciation of letters from the Russian alphabet, our languages \u200b\u200bare historically connected, and we use a lot of borrowed words from French (yes, do not be surprised! You already know something) All the same pronunciation of words and entire proposals may be difficult. French spells, there are a lot of clutches and bindings between words. Listen to French speech and repeat (the method is especially good for audials). Listen to the native speakers (audio and video can be found on the Internet) to get an idea of \u200b\u200bspeech and intonation speed.

Work on your articulation, make exercises in front of the mirror. This is important for the correct pronunciation, this will depend on this tempo of speech, and this in order for the interlocutor to hear your speech, I understood what you mean. Francophones themselves are actively used in the process of conversation facial and articulation.

Learn the reading rules. Immediately I warn you - it is not easy and will take a certain time. The peculiarity of the French language is that words are written with a large number of letters, and are noticed in just a few sounds. For example: Beaucoup (a lot) is written in as much as eight letters, and pronounced as "side".

Therefore, knowledge of the rules of readings will help you correctly read words, correctly pronounce them, and as a result, to enrich your vocabulary with books. AND read,read, read and read everything in French again in a row! (This is especially good for visuals, and the audies can listen to audiobooks) fiction, scientific, magazines, newspapers, brochures, even advertising ... You will make your speech richer, rich.

Council3. Engage in grammar!

Perhaps "grammar" sounds boring, but it is incredibly important. Agree, we yourself are nice to communicate with a foreigner when it speaks correctly in Russian. So for the French, grammatically correct is enjoyable and important. And to speak correctly, you must understand the structure of the sentence, how to use verbs in the present, past and future times, know the name of the nouns and the use of adjectives. If you feel about discresses, the grammar will love you. This is clean water logic!

If you are a beginner "Francophon", then here is my practical advice. Remember, in the French offer in the first place there is always subject to, on the second - the fault, then - the addition. For example: Je Vais à l'école (I go to school). And it is very cool, as having a small vocabulary (at first), you can clearly express your thoughts to clearly. For example, introducers: Bonjour! Je Suis Tatiana Voronkova. Je Suis Russe. Je Suis Professeur. J'aime Le Français. (Hello! I am Tatyana Voronkova. I am Russian. I am a teacher. I love French.)

Council4. 15 minutes, but every day!

I consider a systematic approach to the study of French very important. Let 15 minutes a day (it's not so much), but every day devote entirely to the whole language. Teach new words and phrases, grammar rules, train the pronunciation or just read something every day. Plus, at least twice a week, assure a whole hour to the lesson in French! It will definitely bring their fruits. And in a month you can speak simple suggestions, and in 5-6 months you will notice significant progress.

Council5. The Internet to help you!

You do not release a phone or tablet from hand, because they just "depended" in social networks? Or are you a fan of video hosting? Or do you like to read e-books, magazines, newspapers? Healthy! It will all help you in the study of French!

Urgently customize the main language in social networks "Français". You already know what and where is located, and you can work out the language in practice. For example: Quoi. dE. neuf.? (What's new?) In news stork, or En ligne. (online). On social networks, you can also find French-speaking friends and communicate with them both verbally and writing.

On the YouTube. You will find a lot of useful videos in French.

Well, about the books we have already said: Look for your favorite felting on French (in the electronic form in our time it is easier to do). Or find children's French books on the Internet. As a rule, they are with bright illustrations and simple texts - what is needed for the French francophone.

Mass of French-speaking news channels and applications you also find on the Internet. I especially recommend the TV5Monde channel. Here you and world news will learn, and interesting programs look at various topics, but what is especially important - this channel will help you to learn French in the Apprendre Le Français section (for all levels of language knowledge).

Wonderful electronic dictionaries you will also find on the Internet. For example: Multitran, academician, Yandex-Dictionary and TP.

And these are all free resources!

Plus, of course, you can find various online foreign languages \u200b\u200bschools in which people learn from Skype. For example, learn French in this Skype school is practical and efficient, as you can ever and anywhere to study French with a personal teacher. To study the favorite language of the house on the couch with a cup of tea - is it not pleasant to occupation?

Council6. See movies with subtitles in French.

French cinema is rich in masterpieces! Do not deny yourself the pleasure and see French films in the original. This advice will especially like the kinestics and visuals, but also people with other types of perception, sure will also be happy to enjoy movies. I recommend you to start with well-known cartoon films. See movies necessarily with subtitles. But with subtitles in French! It is important. Wrong fear that you will not understand anything. Come! Based on the context of the picture, the plot, knowledge of some kind of words and expressions. It is not necessary to translate every word to understand the main meaning. But you immerse yourself for a while in a French-speaking environment. And reading subtitles and correlating them with heard will help you understand how the read words are pronounced.

Beginners will also be fun and useful to watch the Extra Francais training series - about three friends in Paris, which help the fourth to speak in French. In this video, the quality is not very, but it is the only subtitle. Try to download the entire series (or watch VC).

Council7. Teach the phrase, not the word.

Try to memorize not single words, but phrases, phrases and suggestions. Learn a few phrases in order to say hello correctly and say goodbye, ask for help, ask something, give information about yourself and more ..

For example:

Say hello Bonjour. (Hello), Bonsoir. (Good evening), Salut. (Hello), Comment ça VA? (How are you?).

Presented: Je. suis .. . (I am ...) or JE M'APpelle ... (My name is…).

Say goodbye Au Revoir (Goodbye), à bientôt. (see you later), Permettez. moi. dE. faire. mes. adieux.! (Allow me to say goodbye!)

Forms of handling:

Excusez.moi.! Pardon! (Sorry!),

Excusez.moi. dE. vous. d.Éranger (Excuse for troubling),

Pouvez. vous. me. dire (You can tell me ...)

Puis. je. vous. demander? (Can I ask you?),

Pardon, pourriez.vous. me. dire o.ù SE TROUUVE ... (Sorry, could you tell me where to be ...).

Parlez Lentetem., s.il vous. plait. (Please speak slowly).

JE N.e.comprends P.buts. (I do not understand)

Rourriez.vous. m.aider? (Can you help me?).

Such memorized phrases will serve you with a good service, for example, on a trip to the French-speaking country, if you need to learn something or ask for help.

Council8. Speak!

The best way to learn the language is to speak on it! All the knowledge you received - words, grammar, hiding verbs, hundreds of exercises made, - nothing without colloquial practice. If you do not use them and speak French, you, unfortunately, quickly all forget. The language is integrated into us when interacting on it with other people during the conversation.

And despite the fact that talking is simple and nice, most people feel fear of this step. This fear of making mistakes, it is wrong, not to understand the interlocutor, hear criticism of pronunciation ...

But you need to overcome these fears and just start talking. You must understand that it is not difficult to make a mistake, trouble - not even try ... And as the heroine of one famous film said: "And you Lapay, but Lyapay confidently!". Believe me, if you make an error, the interlocutor will help you correct it, and the correct pronunciation is even better deposited in your head. Any criticism of pronunciations accept gratefully and figure out how it is necessary to speak correctly, to build a proposal, which word is more appropriate here. This will help you improve your speech.

Speak in French, even if you feel awkward due to the fact that you know little. Everyone is so starting, but over time you will be improved. If you are not clear that your interlocutor says, ask him to repeat and speak more slowly. If you do not understand the meaning of the word, ask what it means. For example: QU'EST-CE QUE ça. veut. dire? (What does it mean?). So you, by the way, better learn and remember the meaning of new words.

You ask where to find a person who is ready to communicate with you in French? On the Internet ... in various forums and sites. And of course, teachers are glad to communicate with you!

Think in french. Speak out loud in French when you are alone. Comment all what you do. If you wash dishes or lead a car, talk about it. Pay attention to your intonation and pronunciation. Listen to yourself.

Chip №9. Praise yourself for every success!

We certainly praise yourself for every success and progress in the study of French. Most people in the world recognize how difficult it is to start learning a foreign language. Some never go to this step ... And you are well done! You need, and you do. Even if you learn the language exclusively for your own pleasure (I did it), you do it for yourself, you develop, and it is worthy of praise.

The French love their tongue, their culture, are very proud of their history. They are very sensitive to what you are trying to learn their language. Usually they are patient and friendly. And most likely, they also praise you for your zeal.

And positive emotions fit you to the next round of language development, give you strength.

Chip10. Do not retreat!

When you begin to teach French from scratch, then first time you have, of course, there will be constant progress. Enjoy these moments. Then, after a certain period of time, you may have the impression that there is no progress, and you are at the same level for several months! Be patient. Keep working. You will definitely achieve a new level of knowledge. The main thing is not to retreat and go ahead!

Like article? Support our project and share with friends!

This material was sent to us by our regular reader Sanzhar Surshanov (his twitter @sanzhars), which shared very interesting ways to learn a new language for you.

Since the beginning of this year, I started exploring French. I do it with the help of English, since I started to keep English confidently, I can say I found the key to numerous Internet resources.

Below I want to list and describe how I learning French:

1. Duolingo.

The site founded Captcha and Recaptcha, students of the University of Carnegie Melon. By the way, each time Introducing Recaptcha, you help the digitization of thousands of old books. The main idea is that people simultaneously learned languages, translated the Internet to different languages.

All material is divided into different categories.

After you finish the exercises, you will be given to the translation of real material taken from the Internet. First, simple sentences, as learning more difficult. Transfering proposals You strengthen your knowledge and help translate web pages. You can also look at the translations of other users.

Exercises include text transfers, speaking, listening. As such, there is no pass on the grammar.

In addition to French, you can learn - Spanish, German, English, Italian and Portuguese.

Audio lessons pass like this: 2 students come to him who do not know French. It turns out, you become the 3rd student. Michel leads a conversation with students and so they learn the language. He explains the difference between English and French, first tells about new words, then asks to translate from English to French.

The main difference and the rule of the method of Michel - do not try to memorize words, phrases, etc.

I do not know how to explain, but after the first lesson, at the intuitive level you yourself begin to guess how it will be in the language studied.

I personally really like this method.

3. Memrise.

To replenish the vocabulary stock, I use the Memrise site.

On the site you can find a lot of different courses, you can even learn how the Morse code. I'm learning - Hacking FRENCH.

Studying new words, you "grow flowers." Put seeds, watering, etc.

The main chip is that you create memes for strangers and spend an association with English. I didn't create memes themselves using the creations of other users.

Grow flowers approximately like this: at the beginning you remember the meaning of words, then repeatedly repeat. Click on the correct answer, write the translation yourself, listening to the phrase choose the correct answer from the list. This ends the first part.

After 4-5 hours, the email comes to you a notice that you need to repeat the past. Repeat the above, if you make a mistake in translation, the word goes to repeat. That's so about everything happens.

4. NEWS IN SLOW FRENCH

Thanks Twitter, literally recently found a link to another wonderful resource.
