Learning a new language, or brushing up on a language that you haven't used for a while can be both fun and intimidating.

French is spoken by over 100 million people worldwide, is an official language of many international organisations, and is universally acknowledged as the language of love and romance.

Little wonder then that many people aspire to learning the language, and most would like to learn french the fast and fun way. In order to do that, a few pointers are in order.

1) You are not going to learn a language by osmosis, especially if you are an adult. So, some effort will be needed on your side. That doesn't mean boring or hard, just some application.

2) Before you throw in the towel, realise that you can make really good progress in conversational french by knowing only 500 odd words and a few basic sentence constructions. Memorising a few key sentences will do wonders for your confidence and enthusiasm for the language.

3) The more you practice your new language skills, the better you will become in all spheres of the language. Easy to learn french lessons are wasted if you don't put them to use.

4) If you want to learn french easily and are not living in a french speaking area, then make sure that the program you follow offers a variety of ways in which you can learn various aspects of the language. Variety is the spice of life as the saying goes and it keeps you interested and challenged.

5) Lighten up. Yes, you are going to make mistakes and sound horrible from time to time. But that is no reason to give up.There has to be some pain for gain and its a small, temporary price to pay in order to achieve your goal of learning to speak french.

Whatever your reason for learning french, making progress quickly and keeping a sense of humour is bound to help you realise your goal.
