Liu Kang I think I'ma pass on going through with my plans on staying in France for 8 months in 2015. No confidence right now and Ligue 1 boring as fukk breh damn I tried to start my blog and it was the struggle.
You started a blog written in french ? Gimme a link so I can shyt on it
Nah but for real, writing in another language is hard but that's how it is. I'm reading Dune in english at the moment and it's not easy but that increases my vocabulary and I like that because that's how you improve breh. Did you read some french books or tried to do so with magazines ? Did you watch some french tv shows ?
It's important to exercice your ears to have a better word recognition. The best way is to live in the country obviously and I have plenty of co-students (when I was still in "college") who did some Erasmus exchanges in other europeans countries for a semester or two and they came back speaking the language fluently. It's hard in the beginning but you improve fast when you're fully integrated to the lifestyle and above all, if you want to improve.
I have the example of a couple who's firends of a friend. The girl is french and the dude is english and they live in France (obviously) but between them they talk in english and dude doesn't really improve his french because he's also kinda lazy, so we have to talk to him in english and it's been more than a year that he lives here
I also remember when I was in 7th grade during a trimester, we had an english english (yeah twice) teacher who doing an exchange with our french english teacher. Well her french weren't all that and she had a heavy english accent but this was no problem for us. That was more fun to us because we were meeting a "true" english woman. If you targetting mid shool students (and even high school), you don't have to worry about your french not being fluent. You need good basis yes, but you don't need full fluency.
2015 is in 2 years so you still have time. If it's something you really want to do, you'll have to work for it, ain't no other way. I can help with the french if needed, pm me in french so I can correct your ass
