Since you’re here, you must want to begin learning French. You probably already know that there are endless online resources to learn a foreign language. Let me tell you how I went from a college student to a fluent French-speaking professional, and how you can speak French fluently as well.
For those who have never learned a foreign language, the process can feel particularly daunting. That’s how I felt when I first decided to learn French.
It’s like the first day of university. There’s so much to learn, and you have no idea where to start. It’s overwhelming.
I started studying French language in high school and went on to earn a degree in French Language and Litterature at Florida State University (with its nationally-renowned French Department) before leaving to study more intensively in Paris.
After my studies, I received the U.S. Federal Government’s flagship international exchange award, the Fulbright Fellowship, to Luxembourg, where I had the chance to delve into French and ultimately pass the golden standard for French fluency: the DALF C1 exam.
I now work in francophone (French-speaking) Luxembourg, where I speak French everyday.
Learning French has been one of the great pleasures of my life, so I decided to create The French Objective to help native and non-native English speakers navigate the intricacies of learning one thing: fundamental French.
The website is set up in a strategic way–I first cover how you should go about learning French before giving you some essential resources to do so. No single resource is fully comprehensive when it comes to language learning, including The French Objective.
Instead of overloading you with grammar, vocabulary, and technical terms from the start, The French Objective is structured in a way that will set you on the right learning path. If your objective is to learn French, these first few pages are key.
