Can you teach yourself French without lessons?

The idea of being able to speak multiple languages is a very attractive one. However, the reality of learning a foreign language rarely matches the romantic expectations of beginners. Learning a new language can be an enriching, entertaining and thoroughly beneficial experience but it requires a lot of time and dedication. It may take you years before you can truly master a language and you may never even do so. The first step to learning a new language is to set a solid plan or framework, you want a crystal clear idea of how you’re going to approach the language. However, this doesn’t mean you should be inflexible, it is important to adapt your focus and techniques when the situation demands it. With the right plan and discipline, self-learners can make steady progress but it is important to say that without a high level of motivation, progress may become slow and arduous.

The benefits of French lessons County Kildare

French lessons largely remove the need for motivation, Yes motivation will always be a useful resource but lessons mean that there is a much higher sense of obligation and responsibility. You are far more likely to work on your French if you know you have a lesson or a test to prepare for, or maybe you simply enjoy your classes and your teacher and you want to do your best to make the most out of your class. There are many potential reasons but it is clear that there is almost always more consistent work done when there are lessons scheduled. Furthermore, it is very likely that once you have paid and scheduled for a lesson, you are unlikely to cancel or not go. That would be a waste of money and time for everyone. Once someone else is involved in your learning journey, the stakes automatically rise. French teachers can also bring a much-needed passion to the language. Language teachers are often very passionate about the culture and the language and they often want to share their love for the language with others. The benefits of this passion are evident.

How can you revise for Junior/Leaving cert French?

Creating a study plan is the first step, firstly, we’d recommend that you make a list of all the grammar topics that are necessary for the Leaving Cert, then according to your own evaluations, label what is strong, needs work and then what is completely misunderstood. This way you can prioritise what needs work in a methodical manner and you are making steady trackable progress. This won’t work for everyone so another way to revise is by practising exam papers and getting either your school teacher or private tutor to check your work.  Lastly, is a method that is most effective over a longer period of time, immerse yourself in French materials, such as movies, podcasts and news articles. All of these will subconsciously improve your listening, grammar and comprehension skills while also benefiting from cultural enrichment.
