How long it would take to learn how to read French? I'm not interested in the spoken language, I just want to be able to read French texts, mainly newspapers, Wikipedia articles and so on. I'm not interested in reading French literature, philosophy, nor writing academic papers in French. Just reading everyday texts. What are the best methods? I've heard about "French for Reading" by Karl Sandberg, but it's not available here and it's a little bit expensive to buy it from Amazon. The same apply to "French for Reading Knowledge", "Reading French in Arts and Science", and "Skills and Techniques for Reading French". Can you suggest me a good way to learn reading French as quickly as possible? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

with reading-understanding - you should read simple texts that you know from translations for example. Start with some simple, and then more and more difficult.
if you want to read-pronounciate - listen some readings of texts that are written, and repeat, looking at every word. The both things aren't too difficult, very easy, I'd say. But that's just me. Edited by William8 on 26 December 2010 at 12:36am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hashimi, do you want to understand audio too? If so, you could watch French in Action videos, and read along with
the text. It's graded, so that will help speed things up. I'm not sure that learning without sound will be as fast as learning with sound, so I don't know what to suggest without sound. 1 person has voted this message useful |
