When I moved to France many, many moons ago, I had a couple of words and phrases Id remembered from lessons at school when I was 12 years old – not necessarily grammatically correct:
- Bonjour! (Hello!)
- Bonsoir! (Good evening!)
- Bon nuit!) (Good night – when going to bed)
- Je m’appelle Teena et je suis Australienne. (My name is Teena and I’m Australian.)
- Je ne parle pas bien français. (I don’t speak French very well.)
- Je voudrais … (I would like …)
- Il n’y a pas des nouages au ciel. (There are no clouds in the sky.)
Not a whole lot be able to speak with a French person :-)
So I signed up for a one month French Class with a Vietnamese tutor (who was lovely).
There were about 20 adult students from many different countries, and we were NOT allowed to speak any language other than French in the classroom.
At the end of the month I could order coffee or cocktails, buy grroceries, and ask questions – I was thrilled!
These days it’s possible to learn French at home in your pyjamas/pajamas, in a few minutes a day.
DUOLINGO
I signed up with Duolingo a few years ago, and every day I do my 5 minute French lesson to keep French alive in my brain when I’m no longer living in Paris.

I’m doing more research today to find other places to learn French online for free.
