I'm really interested in taking up French again. I took French back in high school cause it was mandatory, I'm fluent in Haitian creole so French came very easy for me, I was acing test and winning awards. When I got to college I decided to put off french and instead study Brazilian Portuguese on Duolingo, that was about 3 years ago, studied Portuguese for a good 6months but once I got a job and started college I had personal time to continue my studies.
I've got a bunch of free time on my hand now so I decided to take French again and try to master it then move on to Portuguese again. Only problem i got know is, what's the best way learn? Duolingo is cool program but I feel like won't become fluent if I used that as my only route, Rosetta Stone is a potential option since it would give me levels 1-5 for fairly decent price $189.99. While studying french I'll definitely be watching movies, shows, etc in french to help me become fluent.

The hardest part with self-teaching yourself a new language is the motivation to continue studying EVERYDAY, It's much less stressful when you're taking courses in school you know you have to attend.
I been using Duolingo for French for the past month or so, in that timespan I pretty much reached the level I was at when I graduated high school. Going to continue but that motivation's not really there. Think I may pick up one of those programs, that was being talked about in the previous pages.
I'm four years out of high school now, looking back now, if I had continued to work on my French instead of picking up Portuguese immediately after HS, my french would have been nearly perfect and I would have been in my early stages of Portuguese now smh.
Instead I'm back to square one on both.![]()
Yeah motivation or necessity is the key to learn languages IMOThe hardest part with self-teaching yourself a new language is the motivation to continue studying EVERYDAY, It's much less stressful when you're taking courses in school you know you have to attend.
