How to be productive when learning French?


  • Repeat, repeat, repeat again 
Repetition is the key to success. If you concentrate just on new words you will quickly forget what you learned previously… don’t forget to repeat!!! 

  • 5 x 20 minutes is more productive than 1 x 100 minutes a week
Dedicating 20 minutes each day (why not on the bus?) for learning French is more useful than sitting down for a couple of hours at the weekend with the idea of “now I’m going to learn everything by heart”. 20 minutes is enough for repeating 15-20 new words and to revise the explanation of a rule of grammar. With this technique you’ll go far! 

  • Concentrate on what is important! Personalise your learning! 
What is the point of learning the names of all the plants in French if you are not interested in gardening? You’ll have no-one to talk with about it. Concentrate on the words and expressions in French that are important for you, that you are really going to use in your work or daily life. You will move forward faster and have the impression of using what you have learned!

  • Put into context!
It is very important to learn new words by heart in their context (meaning in a sentence) and not on their own. This technique will allow you to retain the meaning of a word more easily and also to know how to use it (with a suffix? In an expression? At the beginning or the end of a sentence? etc.)


  • Avoid translating
Putting new words into context will help you avoid translation!. Translation may seem helpful to you as a technique for learning, but it is not. It will get you into the bad habit of thinking in your native language and then translating your ideas into French. The result is that you won’t speak real French, with genuine French expressions. So stop translating and start thinking in French, even if that seems difficult at the beginning!
Here is an example to illustrate this problem with beginners:
You want to say: I am 35 years old. – I’ll translate into French - Je suis 35 ans…. No way! That’s not how it works… in French you use the verb avoir (have) when you are talking about age. ⟼ J’ai 35 ans (I have 35 years).
Learn to think in French!  It will help you save time and energy!

  • Accept the way you are
You are not learning French as rapidly as the others. You need to revise a word three times to know it by heart. Don’t worry, each person works with their own resources! If you need to hear the rule for the passé compose (present perfect tense) four times to know it by heart, don’t hesitate to ask your French teacher to explain it four times. No need to be ashamed of asking questions when you are learning French!

  • Concentrate on the communication 

Whatever your goals for learning French you must always find the time for spoken exercises!!!  Written French is very different from spoken French. If you don’t learn them at the same time it will be harder later on! Don’t forget that a language is above all meant for communicating.

Why is it important 
for learning French to be a pleasure for you?...

Because pleasure is one of the most important motivation factors! The exercises that help you learn French must be done of your own free will and not by obligation. When you enjoy doing something, you don’t hesitate to dedicate time for this activity, throwing yourself into it body and soul. It’s absolutely necessary for learning any langue, as it is for learning French. There are numerous methods, techniques, software packages and books which can certainly help you learn, but they can’t learn French for you!  It’s up to you to find the time and energy to study, repeat, repeat and repeat again…  

And isn’t all that easier if you take pleasure in it? If you enjoy it you will succeed and make rapid progress in French.


How can this be done?

- be curious! The more you learn, the more things you know, the more you know, the            better you understand subtleties of the language, the more French becomes interesting. 

- study French for your own motivation

- identify the right French teacher to accompany you, because an enthusiastic teacher will transmit not just their knowledge but also their enthusiasm.

- work with amusing exercises and techniques to get you to think and progress in French.

- chose the right method – if you learn French in an effective way you will be able to make immediate use of your knowledge  you will see that what you are learning is useful  it will give you lots of motivation!

- be in good form when you learn French – tiredness obstructs your memory and ability to assimilate.

- be patient: learning French is done in stages, step by step. Moving forward progressively is the key to long-term success. 

- if French is not interesting in itself…discover the culture that lies behind! Whether it is French gastronomy, music, literature, cities, history of France that interests you, dive in! While looking for information you will begin to read in French without even realising it…. And why not go even further? Let’s suppose that you are interested in gardening… then start looking for information on your favourite subject in French… you will be motivated to learn, understand and even to learn the words by heart!


The recipe is simple:

French lessons are based on your needs ⟼ you take an interest in the subjects and the chosen method ⟼ you enjoy taking part in the lessons ◕‿◕
