The ultimate study guide

There are thousands of French language resources, both online and in print…

But, where do you even start?

Over my many years of teaching French to hundreds of students from a range of backgrounds, I have heard the same questions and complaints over and over again.

• “What is the best learning method to use?”
  
• “How do I stop myself from feeling demotivated?”
• “I don’t have time to study French”
• “French is too difficult!’’
  
• “I’m fine with reading comprehension, but I suck at listening and speaking!”
• “My pronunciation is awful. I’m having trouble sounding like I’m actually speaking French.”
• “I don’t understand half of the French conversations I’m hearing!”
• “I try my best, but I still cannot form coherent sentences readily.”

And the most popular question:

“Where exactly should I begin?”

Do you recognize your own struggles in the gripes mentioned above?

When not addressed, these questions can fester and become extremely frustrating. These dilemmas definitely need to be tackled immediately for you to continue unhampered with your learning.

This is where I come in.

Think that’s it?

Of course not.

You’ll also get the following bonuses:

• Keep the conversation flowing with hundreds of conversational connectors (e.g. comment dire? How can I put it?) divided into ten topics with Mp3 supplements
• Over one hundred useful adverbs (e.g. later – plus tard) with examples
• Ninety common French phrases (e.g. « je ne sais pas » – I don’t know)
• The ten most common verbs conjugated with four important tenses
• 130+ common adjectives (e.g. “belle” – beautiful) with examples

All bonus materials come with audio that will allow you to study without any text in front of you. The audio comes with the French text first, followed by its English translation and then French pronunciations, leaving enough time in between for you to pronounce the words yourself.

Some of these freebies are actually being sold by other websites as stand-alone products. But here, you are getting it for free! Pretty cool, right?

But “la cerise sur le gâteau” (the icing on the cake) is the study plan. I have created four different types of study plans for you based on your level of French:

• Beginner
• Intermediate
• Advanced
• Plateaued Learner (for anyone with speaking and listening difficulties)

Each study plan will guide you to the topics you should focus on depending on your specific needs.

Each study plan also contains a checklist of grammar points and vocabulary topics that you should study for each level, and for each topic you will find a reference where you can learn more about it.

I understand that each learner has a different schedule and not everyone is able to allot two hours for studying per day, so I created schedule categories that fit the amount of time you can allocate for studying every day.

Here are the different schedule categories:

• The super busy person who can study for 15-20 minutes per day
• The busy bee who can dedicate 30-40 minutes per day
• The not-so-busy person who is free to study for 1 hour per day
• Those who have enough time to set aside 2 hours per day

In total, there are 16 different study plan options, all based around you!

The study plan also contains an ideal routine for a typical French learner’s day. Discover how to incorporate learning French into your daily life to create a fun and lasting learning habit that you will be able to sustain over time.

…and, yes, the study plan is part of the bonus materials which you will also be getting for FREE with your purchase!
