One of my goals for 2020 is to improve my French and I’m so grateful I have my friend Ally who is helping me progress. In this video we talk about the three ways I learn French curretly (without textbooks). The methods are for upper intermediate/advanced learners, so they might not work if you are a beginner.
My amazing friend Ally has an inspirational study instagram account at @ari_noyume !
How I currently learn French:
Weekly French conversations
Dictations
Diary writing practice
Everyone’s way of learning is different but I know this was a requested video, so I hope it’s helpful to see how I do it at the moment.
