Work on your pronunciation. Smooth
flowing French is gained through
continual practice at acquiring a good
accent. Good pronunciation helps to
ensure that you are easily understood and
will enable you to enjoy speaking the
language more fluently.Ways to improve your pronunciation include: Listen to native French speakers and repeat what they say. Watch a good French movie and imitate your favorite actor's accents. Listen to native French speakers on your iPod or MP3 player as you're traveling to work, and repeat what they say (when appropriate).
Sing French music. Download your favorite songs and sing along. Music is an excellent method by which to perfect accent, and most times, you won't even notice the effort involved. Ensure that you have a good French teacher. If you're not studying as part of your college curriculum, take up French classes after work, or on the weekends. Your teacher should be able to help correct your pronunciation by picking out your weaker points and giving you specific exercises to improve your intonation, inflexion, and sound linking. Revise your grammar constantly. Even though you have already learned certain grammar points, it continues to be important to revisit your grammar learning until the individual points become second nature. If it helps, think of grammar like a math problem--by adding a certain word, the equation will be complete! This can be made a lot more fun and engaging if you use multimedia to assist: Use your iPod or MP3 player to listen to grammar drills. Do this while exercising, traveling, relaxing on your bed, etc. Use computer games and exercises to improve your grammar. There are many games and exercises available for free online, or you can purchase CD-Roms for your computer. Do a search of "French grammar games", "French spelling games", "French verb games", etc., and see what suits your interests most. Look for games that French speakers play - these will be an excellent way to improve your French.
