With an immersive approach to learning, we will teach you a skillset beyond vocabulary.

Best Way To Learn French Online

Whatever your goals are for taking on the French language, you should carefully consider a language-learning program built with you in mind.

When you first set out to learn French, it may be tempting to start with memorizing massive vocabulary lists. However, this is usually very ineffective. Instead of focusing on memorization, learn just a few of the most commonly used words or phrases and start practicing your French pronunciation instead. The goal of language learning is not vocabulary acquisition, it’s having the ability to hold a conversation in your new language.

Getting correct pronunciation down is the key to having conversations with confidence in French. Rosetta Stone encourages new language learners to begin practicing making French sounds out loud from your very first lesson with our patented speech recognition engine called TruAccent . This technology is embedded in every lesson, and compares your pronunciation to that of native French speakers. Feedback is provided immediately which allows you to make corrections and perfect your pronunciation.

The French language is famous for its je ne sais quoi, an appealing quality that can not be quite defined. That appeal comes from the nuances of French pronunciation. However, some of the sounds in French can be tricky because they are significantly more nasal than other languages. Practicing your pronunciation daily with Rosetta Stone’s bite-sized lessons will be the key to your success. And it won’t matter where you are, because our mobile app and desktop are constantly in sync, allowing you to dive into your practice wherever you are, and at your convenience.
