There is not only one way to learn French or any other new language. In fact, everyone is different and the truth is that the more you practice, the better your spoken language will become.
However, French is not easy and it will require a lot of time, passion and determination.
Let me give you some tips that will help you to learn new languages fast. I am a French native speaker and as you can see I write in English, and I speak fluently as well.
English was pretty easy to learn. I also speak Spanish and Arabic. Arabic is even more difficult than French, and I learned the basics of the language pretty quickly.
Spanish and English are both Latin languages, but Arabic is totally different. I can speak and write like a native of these different countries.
So how I do it?
1. Listen
You need to listen a lot. Get an iPod and plug some stories and French lessons inside.
2. Learn in your car
Whenever you have time are you are commuting, be sure to hear some French, and repeat what you hear to grab the accent. Don't worry, nobody will actually hear you.
2. Immersion
Find someone who is native and tell him that you want to learn how to speak. A native will help you improve your language skills tremendously.
4. Travel to a French speaking country!
This will force you to speak and to learn the modern language. Just a week or two will be fine the first time. Be sure to know your basic sentences and have a lot of vocabulary before you decide to go there.
5. Read a lot
This is perhaps even more important than immersion. You need to read everything you can. Whenever you see a new word, research the definition in a good dictionary.
