How to learn French

Oliver Gee
About this episode

Hello everyone, 

It's a bonus episode from Camille, the voice behind French Today, answering the age old question: How should I learn French?

More specifically, I asked her about the order to do it in, how to be efficient in learning the language, and what the other teachers are doing incorrectly. 

I share some tales of woe in my own French learning, and pose a few day-to-day questions that I've been storing up, and Camille also teaches me what I've been doing wrong when I try to say "bow-tie" in French, or "noeud papillon". 

Also, Camille has written in great detail about the best method for learning French, so if you want some great extra reading content then simply follow this link

And to get that additional ten percent off from French Today, go via this link.
