Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm a Swedish fellow of twenty-two years of age, who, probably unfortunately in your eyes, is only endowed with fluency in two languages, my native Swedish and English which seems to be the product more of obsessively and compulsively watching the Simpsons than any formal education. A language which I have been wanting to know for years, yet failed miserably at in school was French. It was quite frankly a rather sensitive subject to me for years after, but over the course of time, certain insights and realizations have led me to the conclusion not to let it bother me. And thus, wishing to learn the language on my own now, I found this forum. Therefore, expect to see a few threads of mine with questions start up pretty soon. I hope I will be welcomed here! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Welcome to the forum @Tiramisu Soup! I find that probably the most important aspect of language learning for me is persistence. Stick with it. Don't give up. Do something in the language every day. Keep focused on your eventual goal of speaking the language but also try to set achievable mini-goals along the way. In this way, you'll arrive where you wish to be.

Anyone who uses a nic with my favourite dessert is most welcome here! Let me know if you need any help, and lots of luck. The only things I wish for you is that you get as motivated by this forum as I am, but that you do not get quite as addicted :-)

Thanks for the warm welcome! :)
Well, persistence (or maybe it's stubbornness) is pretty much all I've got at the moment, so it's nice to hear that it pays off! As for mini-goals. I find that I can understand written French somewhat, but the spoken language is quite a tempest of sounds that my brain has immense troubles taking in and analyzing fast enough. Maybe I should put it as a goal to be able to watch a French movie and actually understanding most of it, within say, a year would be a good long-term goal for now? As for a first short term... Hrm... Gonna have to think about that. Thanks for the suggestion, though! 1 person has voted this message useful |
