Try watching some French films with the English captioning on. One example is Lupin on Netflix. It will help with pronunciation.


There used to be a French language club in TV, but I've heard the leader is very happy to ask you to leave if you're not fluent enough.

I learned more French living in Quebec province for a summer, than I did studying French via DuoLingo.

I learned more Spanish by working for Burger King than I did taking formal lessons in High School for four years.

I definitely learned more Mandarin with DuoLingo than I learned it in the real world, but that's only because the only Mandarin I ever was exposed to in the real world was watching some shows on TV where someone says "ni hao."
