I'm now on lesson 19. I've stopped some of the more active things that I was doing such as writing out the lessons. I've decided to save that until the active phase. Assimil is really improving my speaking, I'm not getting as tongue tied as I used to, and certain sounds which I used to not be able to make seem to just roll off my tongue now :)

Lesson 32. The lessons lately have seemed easier to me. I'm a bit scared that means there's something really difficult lurking around the corner haha. I also got a new grammar book. I can't remember the name of it right now, but it's extremely comprehensive. I'm going to start reading that and continue with Assimil :)

I'm now on lesson 40. 10 more lessons to go until I start the active phase! I'm really feeling now like French is a part of my daily routine. I feel incomplete if I don't study it at least a little. My biggest French frustration right now is pronouncing the article "un." I feel like it should be so simple, but ever time I try to say it it comes out sounding slightly different and not French like. Oddly, I don't feel like I have this problem with any of the other nasal sounds.

Hey, good luck!
Having studied French from France (not in France though) and subsequently moved to Quebec, I would definitely advise you to study some Quebec French, or any Canadian French really (the accents differ and so forth, but it will still help). Otherwise it takes a couple of weeks to really understand the accent and there's still new slang all the time after a year, and of course some people have different accents from the countryside... It's also hard to change your accent once it's well-established, which after three years of frequent study it would be. At your current level this is less important, because anything you can learn will help a lot, but it's a good idea to at least get some exposure. There is a lot of great French Canadian music (if you want rock/pop recommendations, pm me), for instance. And Quebec has good films and comedians, but I'm less familiar with that. 1 person has voted this message useful |
