My experience learning French<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

French is wonderful and I\u2019ve been waiting to start learning French at school from Year 3! First, my mum\ninspired me to learn French from Year 3\nonwards because at her school, at my age, she chose French as her language. In Year 4, I started to practise a little bit of French\nwith my mum. In Year 5 & 6, I started my\ntaster languages and in Year 6,  I finally\ngot to choose my study language to continue in\nSecondary school. The option was between French, Italian\nand German. As for my first language choice, I obviously chose French. For my second, I chose Italian and last but not least I chose German as my final language option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I\u2019m in\nYear 7 and I\u2019m having so much fun learning French that I almost never want to leave my French class when the bell rings! I think that the two things that I like most about my French\nlesson are learning the language itself and\nmy teacher Ms. Michelle Sant. She tries to make the lessons fun even though there is a lot of material to cover.  We often watch some French\nvideos during the lesson so that we get to hear and practise the language.  I look forward\nto being able to hold a long conversation in this language which I like so\nmuch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a student of French and the first time I\ngot in the class I thought it was going to be a very difficult subject to\nunderstand.  But as the time passed I\nrealised that it was not that hard if you try to practise continuously and if you follow well what the\nteacher explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have learned so much in so little time!\u00a0 I hope I keep learning so that I can speak more fluently.\u00a0 It is very important to study and revise.\u00a0 Watching videos and practising online from the many foreign language resources is also essential so that you get the correct pronunciation.\u00a0 I am glad I chose this language as I will soon be visiting France and look forward to being able to communicate in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
