  • Why would you learn French? I'm curious!
    Best answer

    This question is an old and tricky one. Why would someone want to learn a language, especially French? Too intellectual, too many grammar rules, too long to learn, impossible to pronounce, etc. As if French was only taking away our precious time and not giving us ananything valuable in return! Really? Let's start with simple facts. There are 321 million French speakers in the world. French is the 5th world language. 93 million students are schooled in French. 51 million people learn French. It is also the 2nd most taught foreign language throughout the world and the 4th language used on the Internet. Not bad for a reason to learn French! But there is more. French is a key language. It opens so many doors in so many places. Literature, arts, fashion, wines, cuisine, movies, science, politics, medicine, diplomacy, music, dance, writing, etc. My point? Learn French, follow your dream, and open your own doors!

  • how much time needs to learn the French language? I am biginner
    Best answer

    It all depends on yourself, your methods of learning and your approach to it. In case you really want to know the language, and you sure love it, you will unconsciously put all your efforts into and the results are going to be surprising. In terms of amount of time, in order for you to get an idea, if you put yourself in an environment where you will be obligated to speak and understand French, trust me in 6 months you will be able to communicate to anyone. And if you keep the same tempo, it'll take you about 3 more months to get rid of all the small mistakes in your pronunciation and spelling. The rest will be just adding to what you will know by then as we will never entirely know a language.
