After several years of studying French, I am able to understand most of what I read. I can also understand much of what I hear.
But, when it comes to speaking French? When it comes to turning my thoughts into French? That’s a different story.
I find it quite difficult to speak French. In order to master spoken French, I know I have only one choice. I must practice speaking French.
This year, I am experimenting with Italki. So, far, so good.
I find Italki easy to use. Simply go onto the site, pick your target language (there are many), and look for a tutor.
I chose tutors based on the time I have available. Since there are so many tutors on Italki, you can set your own schedule. When it is time for a lesson, simply log in and start practicing.
My tutors/teachers have been quite willing to adjust to my goals. I am trying to level up in spoken French. For this reason, we just talk.
If you need to level up in a language, and you are tired of books and grammar classes, definitely check out Italki.
And, as a bonus, the prices are quite reasonable.
By the way, the Italki links in this email are affiliate links. I don’t mind. I only promote what I like. And, so far, I am really enjoying it!
