LanguageDaily: French Language

The French language is posh, romantic, playful and flirty. And this website will help you to learn this beautiful language. You might have heard that French is not easy to master. Indeed, there are several reasons that contribute to French being quite a challenge. It has a complex grammar that includes verb conjugations, differences between masculine and feminine genders, more tenses as compared to English, a broad range of exceptions, and its own intricate writing system. French pronunciation and accent may prove to be very tricky for a beginner because of nasal sounds, liaisons and contractions, silent letters, and new sounds that don't exist in English. The French rhythm is often tricky because of its monotone quality when all syllables are pronounced equally and without significant variations in stress.

Despite its reputation for being difficult, French is not impossible to master. There is nothing to fear and once you learn the French alphabet and proper pronunciation of sounds, learning French becomes less intimidating, much more easy and fun. Besides that, French vocabulary is filled with words that are shared with other Romance and Indo-European languages. One of them is German, so you can now learn the German language on our site. If you speak English there is a high chance that you will be able to understand many French words and phrases with a minimal amount of effort.
