About French, honestly

FSI Category I: among the easiest for English speakers

~600–750 class hours to professional working proficiency · Travel-conversational in roughly 2–3 months of daily practice

What's genuinely hard

  • Nasal vowels (vin/vent/son) and the u vs. ou contrast, both in minimal pairs
  • Silent final letters and liaison: words run together in speech
  • Noun gender (le/la) affects articles and adjectives
  • Spoken French sounds very different from how it's written

Tips

  • Learn phrases as whole sound-chunks, not word-by-word. Liaison makes the chunk the real unit
  • Vous (formal) everywhere is always polite; tu comes later with friends

Your first lessons

  • · Salutations (Greetings)
  • · La politesse (Please & thank you)
  • · Se faire comprendre (Getting unstuck)
  • · Urgences (Emergencies)
  • …and 38 more across three levels
