Is French A Hard Language To Learn When You Start A Master’s Degree? The article talks about French and its declining number of speakers as a result of the cost and difficult vernacular - how it is a notoriously difficult language to learn even for English speakers. It explains how French is a Romance language and Indo-European language with roots in Latin, a nasal vowel resonance in the front vowels and Occitan was once spoken here.

Intro ( Who Am I and Why Am I Raising this Topic?) French is a notoriously difficult language for English speakers to learn. It has a complex grammar system, and its pronunciation can be very different from English. So, when I decided to start a Master’s degree in France, I was definitely worried about my ability to learn the language. But luckily, I had some experience with learning French before. I had taken a few classes in college, and I also lived in France for a summer during college. So I knew that it was possible for me to learn the language. Still, starting a Master’s degree completely in French was definitely a challenge. But it was one that I was willing to take on. And luckily, there are some things that can make learning French easier, even for beginners.

Here are some tips that helped me learn French: 1. Get started with the basics. Learning basic grammar and vocabulary is essential before you can start having conversations in French. There are plenty of resources out there to help you with this, so find one that works for you and get started. 2. Practice, practice, practice. The more you speak and write in French, the better you will become at it. Find opportunities to practice as often as you can, whether it’s talking with friends or writing in a journal. 3. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. One of the best ways to learn is by making mistakes and then correcting them yourself.
