Best website to learn foreign language (French)

jeromeza

I did 2 years of French in varsity, but due to not speaking it i've let my knowledge slip.

I'd like to start learning it again and am looking for an online service to do so.

Is babbel.com any good or are there any sites you can recommend? I don't mind paying if the quality of education is decent.

Thanks,

wych

You could have a look at https://www.duolingo.com/course/fr/en/Learn-French-Online

@Wych - bit of a smart ass reply. Obviously i've used Google, but i'm looking for USER feedback...

Fair point, but you asked for feedback on learning French on a English virtual servers board...

i have to say youtube or any audio books/podcasts. I have learned spanish myself but like you, i forgot it mostly due to not using it for long time.

And OP is asking for user feedback, so that's another vote for duolingo? Or you think your opinion alone should be enough for OP to decide?

Used it to learn basic Italian, it's not bad!

Sign up for ExpatBlog and open a topic. Ask for someone speaking the language who wants to teach you. That's how I found someone to teach me Romanian.

Thanks guys. Keep them coming. I've noted down Memrise and Duolingo.

I may do a 20 day trial with Babbel - if I don't like it I can get a refund, but only within the first 20 days.

Thanks,

I can also vouch for Duolingo, it's great
