If you just want to get an idea of what I did in this year of study, I’ll first give a timeline of my French learning journey below. Later on I’ll mention some things I’d change if I were to repeat the process, as well as other resources I’ve heard good things about. I don’t think mine was the absolute best way, but it certainly worked well enough and I think seeing it can provide some valuable insight. Of course, many people advocate for many different methods to learning a language. I especially hope that this article helps those who are starting in the same place as I did: monolingual, no prior experience with their target language, no immersion, not studying full-time, and not knowing speakers of their target language. Nothing I say will be revolutionary – I don’t have some “secret trick” or “foolproof method” – but I think that my experiences over the last year will be useful to someone starting to learn a language. Much of what I did should be applicable to those learning other languages too. Now that I’ve reached my goal with learning French, I’m writing this article to show other language learners how I achieved it.

I definitely have weak points and I can’t express myself in French nearly as well as I can in English. Of course, I am still very far from native-level proficiency. Read articles intended for native French speakers Understand multiple forms of French media (e.g. Have fluid conversations completely in French for multiple hours I wouldn’t call myself completely “fluent”, but to give you an idea of my level, here are some things I can do without much trouble: I will say my learning pace was somewhat aggressive, in that I devoted a lot of time towards learning French over the past year, but it was nowhere near full-time study. Furthermore, I succeeded in part because I prioritized receiving quality input and producing output, particularly by spending lots of time talking with fluent French speakers. This was only possible through the many amazing resources available online, many of which are free. My learning was entirely self-directed, without any formal programs or immersion.
