If you’re setting out to learn French you want to do it in the shortest time possible, right? With the least amount of difficulty. That’s only natural. Who wants to sit around leafing through dusty old French textbooks? Nobody. So if you’re looking to learn French fast there’s only one sensible solution and that’s to learn French on your computer.
For a start you’ve got the internet. It’s a huge resource for learning the French language with many sites where you can start to learn absolutely free. A lot of them provide French on MP3 clips so you can actually hear the language. That’s the way you want to learn. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not completely anti-book, but a book can’t speak. How are you going to learn French properly without knowing how it’s spoken?
