How can I learn French at home?
What are some available sources on the internet, TV, radio etc that I could use to learn French at home?
Hi Lovable Nocturne,
That’s nice that you want to learn French. There are many ways to learn from home. However there are very few ways to learn effectively. You could find some free content (like the french.about.com mentioned in another answer), listen to some french radio or watch french tv shows (like TV5 on cable) but I haven’t met anybody yet who learned french this way in a reasonably short time.
My advice is to get yourself plugged into a program that will allow you to have some sort of tracking system to make sure that you will learn French as a kid would do it. Listen to French CD but make sure you associate that with the transcripts and more importantly with pictures and real situations. This will help you remember.
Many up to date French language software have that included with lessons, interactive quizzes and games.

The best way is to get your parent to hire a French maid. Man, the things she taught. me. Merci mon belle cherrie.

İ think one good way is to watch movies in your native language with french subtitles after learning some basic grammer

http://www.livemocha.com is a good for starting. But I must say that the best way is to have some french speaking friend(s) to practice…

There are many sites where you can learn basic French including many videos available on You-Tube e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm6dWxLgWUY&feature=PlayList&p=D7E15BA9633AEDA7&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=32
There is also TV5 which is a French channel and numerous self help books available.
However it is best in my opinion to take help of a professional academy which has good teachers, latest content and teaching methodology.
The Academy of Applied Languages in Gurgaon is one such academy which makes Foreign Languages accessible and specializes in the French language. Contact at 9650508508 or info@appliedlanguages.org
