FAQ

What is the fastest way to learn French?

One of the fastest ways to master French is to study one-on-one with a private tutor. During your French lessons, your tutor will provide you with the resources you need to become fluent in this language.

Your teacher will instruct you based on your preferred learning style, go at a comfortable pace that suits you, answer all your questions, and offer you constructive feedback so that you can achieve all your language goals. As long as you listen to your tutor’s instructions and dedicate time and effort to practicing and studying, you’ll find yourself on the fastest track toward fluency.

Is it easy to learn French?

It depends. Some students say that this language is relatively easy to learn if you already know English, but it does have some challenging pronunciations that can be difficult to master. That said, when you take private lessons, your tutor will help you understand even the most challenging aspects of this language so that you can more easily become fluent. During your private sessions, your tutor will give you the tools you need to read, write, and speak this beautiful language with ease.

Can I learn French for free?

You might find some free French resources, but here at TakeLessons, we strive to make learning French affordable for all our students.

Our French teachers have hourly rates that start at $15, so you’re sure to find a tutor that aligns with your budget. While you do have to pay for our lessons, you will get value from working one-on-one with a private French teacher. Unlike many free options, you’ll get paired up with a certified teacher who will help you every step of the way, guiding you toward fluency.
