FRENCH, considered the major International Language after English is actually easy (easier than English I would dare say) if the objective and approach to Learning is clear.
Quite a few would learn French for purposes of Employment,Migration or even just to pass or secure good Marks in their School/College exams.
Learners are advised to learn the Language with correct Pronunciation and understanding of Grammar. Once the Fundamentals are in place Vocabulary and Usage will come over a period of time .Students who are learning for passing of School /College exams are advised to get to love the language and learn it with enthusiasm so as to make learning useful and interesting. `Cramming' or learning by `rote' is not to be resorted to.
Observing pronunciation patterns eg., pronunciation of `en' can be observed and used in words like penser, lentement, vendredi, etc.., Similarly when an accent is used ..if you observe the pronunciation of `thé' then similar ending words can be easily pronounced.eg;café , blé, entrée, journée, likewise if you observe the pronunciation of `ou' then you will pronounce `pour', tour, jour,four etc.,correctly.
There are some usages which have to be accepted as it is .eg; If you have to translate ` What is your name? we have to say in French;-`Comment vous appelez-vous?'(how do you call yourself?)...How are you? (Comment allez-vous? Or Comment ça va?)
Learners need to know that their understanding of English is improved upon and learning of any another Foreign Language is also facilitated by the committed and sytematic approach to learning of French.
For the A1 DELF Exams though institutes (Alliançe Francaise ) take about 120 hours we have students who have done the same in 40 to 60 hours of our Coaching ONLINE. (Even A2)
Many school and College students have scored the highest marks (even 100%) through sytematic coaching and some have gone on to do their A1 and A2 by themselves with the base in Grammar and Pronunciation provided by us for their school and college exams.
The proof of the Pudding is in the eating'. If you can understand a Frenchman (woman) when he/she speaks to you or you can express yourself in French in everyday situations. then the pudding you have made is tasty.
