Coucou !!  French can be a tricky language for a few and an easy one for others. While learning any language, we need to immerse ourselves into their culture, books, movies and shows to get a better view of the language. Living in a country like India where English has almost taken over the colloquial languages, it is extremely hard to find a person whom you can converse with on a daily basis. This might sound a little crazy but I've even started to talk to myself in French. 😁 There are a good amount of French Shows on Netflix.

Trust me, give these shows a try. Here are a few that I really liked: 1. Di...

It could be because you are moving to a Francophone country or you work for a French Company or you're studying French at school. I took up French cause I wanted to do something productive.  Channel something to motivate you. It could even be a celebrity who you love and admire, speaking fluent French. Use this reason to push up and motivate you. 2. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. ✅ Everybody always like to right. But we can learn a lot when we make mistakes. When we make a mistake or when someone corrects us, it helps in remembering process and next time we won't make the same mis...
