Finally got PR under French draw
9 months of hard work, persistence and consistency.
If you are learning or starting to learn French, trust with all your heart that this is possible and you can do it.
A few things I can suggest to accelerate your journey and learn the language faster.
- Don't keep speaking for later.
For speaking once you have learned a few verbs and nouns, and are able to make sentences with them. Try to speak them aloud so that your mind gets comfortable and develops the habit of thinking in French.
- Don't try to do everything.
You don't need to do every tense every topic, just the tenses and vocabulary for the exam. I could pass the exam in 9 months because my trainer from the beginning kept the course focused on TCF and gave me relevant vocab which I could use in the exam.
- Start doing active and passive listening.
Take the audios on YouTube which you are able to understand 70%. This will make your mind guess the rest of the words in a passage and understand context.
- Speak with other learners.
I understood that to become fluent you need 2 skills. One is right pronunciation and grammar and the 2nd is the ability to think in french.
For 2nd it really helped me to practice with other learners. The more I spoke, the more I was able to think in french.
- Study to what you enjoy.
Once you are at b1 level, you can find the relevant topics which you enjoy to know more and then you can read and listen about those topics. It will help you get more advanced vocab.
- Learn expressions and structures.
Think of your native language and you'll see how you use expressions in your day to day life so french is same. Expressions give life to a language and will help you get more marks.
- Keep record of your mistakes.
Instead of writing and speaking more and more. Always spend time after a task with the mistakes you made. Without this you'll continue to make the same mistakes. You can use AI tools to track your mistakes, where you practice and your mistakes will automatically be recorded in a dashboard.
