FYW 182 : How long does it take to learn...

JESSICA: NATIVE FRENCH TEACHER, FOUNDER OF FRENCH YOUR WAY
About this episode

I’m sometimes asked the million dollar question: “How long does it take to learn French ?” (or any other language, for that matter.) Another variation to this question is: “How long does it take to become fluent in French?”

Before I go any further, what would YOU answer?

In this episode, I’ll talk about the 6 levels of proficiency defined by the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). I’ll try to define the notion of fluency and what comes into play regarding how fast you can learn a foreign language. I’ll also give you my opinion about quick-learning methods which you can find on the market today.
