How to learn French well?

In line with the principle of high quality and low price, and the blood of the miser in the body, I would like to introduce a self-study course with zero basic knowledge of French with the goal of going abroad in half a year

It’s just a family opinion, just wait and see, Just do as you are told and look at Xuan, you will be happy. This tutorial is prepared for French lazy people who, firstly, really don’t want to start learning abcd again, and secondly, they don’t want to send thousands of dollars in banknotes to this or that training class. In addition, it needs to be said that because the original books are very expensive, equivalent to more than 500 yuan per set, Sun Hui's version of "A Concise French Tutorial" is even more outrageous, costing more than 3,000 yuan, so the books and disks given here are cost-effective. Very big improvement!

Textbook preparation: studio 100 (elementary)*, reflect1 and 2*, Sun Hui's version of "Concise French Tutorial"*, reading version of the original French work (such as "World Master's Classic Stranger French Reading Edition·Card" "Miao") professional reading materials for elementary and intermediate levels, Shanghai Foreign Language Edition French Phonetics*, New Oriental French One Month Pass*, Learn French from Scratch*, French Vocabulary

3000

Note: Mark *The ones with audio and video materials

Starting stage:

Textbooks: Shanghai Foreign Language Edition French Phonetics*, New Oriental French One Month Pass*, Learn French from Scratch* French Pronunciation and Correction Good software - French Talk

For beginners - Shanghai Foreign Language Edition French Voice is a very good pronunciation learning material, detailed and accurate. Compared with other Chinese pronunciation tutorials, its biggest advantage is Accurate pronunciation - Accuracy is very important. Haven't you seen that many self-learners can only understand themselves after learning, but neither the Chinese nor the old practitioners can understand what they are saying? This shows the importance of pronunciation. Haha, I’m joking, but this pronunciation tutorial is indeed worthy of promotion. Although it is old, please also note that the pronunciation of the teacher in the New Oriental French Monthly is actually very inaccurate, but her spelling is very detailed. . So it is very suitable for introductory tutorials on spelling. If you feel that there is a problem with pronunciation and you don’t know how to pronounce it correctly, it is recommended that you buy a microphone and then train with the electronic pronunciation correction and reading part of French pronunciation and correction, which is the best software for French pronunciation and correction. Learning French from Scratch is not very systematic, but the part about situational conversations is very good.

Recommended learning methods:

It is best to read and read "Shanghai Foreign Languages ????French Phonetics" carefully first. After each part of the study, use French from Scratch to consolidate, and then use New Oriental French 1 When learning spelling through Yuetong, you must spend time to master this basic part. It can be said to be a crucial step. It is best to listen to the recording materials while studying, especially the original textbooks with standard pronunciation and vivid scenes.

On the road...:

Textbooks: Sun Hui's version of "Concise French Tutorial" textbook video tutorial, reflect 1 textbook audio tutorial, studio 100 (beginner)

Recommended learning methods: I personally think that the order of learning should follow the "Concise" - Vocabulary Progression - Reading. Vocabulary accumulation is the basis of reading. Otherwise, you will become tired of learning, and you will never understand it after reading it all the time. Who doesn't find it annoying? The tasks at this stage are relatively heavy, so it is best to have a good learning environment. The school library is a good choice. ——"Concise" is a good textbook, detailed and accurate. Compared with other original French textbooks, it has the biggest advantage-localization. Localization is very important. This textbook is indeed worthy of promotion. It is recommended by Beijing Qijin French Training School and is currently a classic textbook for non-French majors in China. In order to facilitate the learning of many French lovers, Qijin French specially organizes teachers with rich teaching experience. They are loyal to the original textbooks and provide detailed explanations and guidance on the key points, difficulties and doubtful issues in developmental learning in teaching practice, including vocabulary and grammar. , listening, speaking and other aspects of language skills training to help learners lay a solid foundation in French. The entire set of CD-ROM explanations is mainly divided into three teaching stages: 01-18 (lessons) - pronunciation and introductory tutorial teaching, 19-30 (lessons) - basic teaching of the elementary tutorial section, 31-42 (lesson) - incremental sections of the elementary tutorial Teaching, so this reference material is a teaching CD version (video explanation by Sun Hui).

But don’t become dependent! Because after all, there are still many differences between the Chinese textbooks and the original French textbooks, such as rigid grammar, unrealistic listening parts, etc.! Therefore, it is best to study "Concise" and "Reflect" alternately. Read the "Concise" lesson intensively first, and then start the "Reflect" textbook when you are about halfway through. This way, learning is not boring, and with the audio tutorial, you will find the original French version. Now that you understand "reflect", the fun is about to begin! Studio 100 (beginner) has recorded materials, so it is best to listen to them while learning, especially the original textbooks, with standard pronunciation and vivid scenes.

Final stage:

Textbooks: reflect 2, professional learning materials for beginners and intermediates, TEF vocabulary test manual, breaking through 7,000 words in 40 days

reflect2 me personally I think its French learning level is higher than other materials, so I put it at a later stage for detailed reference, and generally this textbook is for people who learn quickly, and it is an advanced textbook. Since this set of materials consists of long texts, you can study them after your listening and vocabulary have reached a certain stage. The effect is more obvious and more effective. The biggest advantage is that the study is not boring at all, and it can also be consolidated. Things learned before. Reading versions of original French works (French literature is generous, how do you say it? How do you do it?) and French songs can relieve your nerves. The important thing in this final stage is to prepare for the TEF exam and the interview. Don’t be too nervous. Just answer the important question of why you want to go abroad. It’s very simple and you’ll be good to go.

If you have enough ability to learn these teaching materials, then I suggest you go to rfi (Radio France Internationale) to download the news and listen to it. He has special practice materials. It’s easy to find, and it’s no longer difficult to read French webpages with a level of French proficiency at this time.

This is my self-study history (domestic version), based on one big principle - from easy to difficult. You don’t have to follow my order. You can flexibly master it according to your own level, hobbies and the information at hand. I am a generalist.

By the way, I forgot to write down my TEF score. A friend said that this is more convincing. Well, although the score is quite shabby, I might as well post it. Don’t let me talk too much about it then. , but others shouted that they were fooled.

Self-study French from October 2004 to February 2005; Beijing e-tef in March 2005, score - 462
