Lessons and Tips for Beginning French Students


Introduction | French Lessons

Learn French with hundreds of pages written for anyone with little or no French knowledge. Whether you're just beginning to learn French or picking it up again after a long absence, you'll find everything you need on these pages.

If you don't know where/how to start learning French or find that you don't like the lessons categorized by type (grammar, vocab, pronunciation), try the checklist or subscribe to my 20-week French for Beginners email course. They include the same lessons organized in a logical study order so that you can start at the beginning and work your way up. If you're taking a trip to France or another French-speaking country, you might be interested in my special 6-week email course on Travel French.

Not sure of your level? Try my French proficiency test.

The links on the right include some additional resources to help you learn French, both on- and off-line.

If you have any questions, need a better explanation of one of my lessons, don't see a lesson on something you've studied in class, or just feel like practicing what you've learned about French, please post a message on the French for Beginners Forum. I check the forum several times a day, and there are lots of other members happy to assist you, so it's the quickest place to find answers. In addition, you'll be helping others with the same questions, you'll probably find other useful information to help you learn French, and you might even make a few new friends.
