Bonjour era,
I'm currently doing online French classes once a week during the evening. I'm on week two and can do basic things such as alphabets, greetings, introductions, letters, etc you know, the introductory stuff. With it being online and everyone having other commitments during the daytime it's hard to immerse yourself since you don't have students physically around you and such. None of my friends speak any French, so I can't converse with them. I want to really commit and focus on this for the next year at least and get decent at French. I think using an app is crucial, at least for me personally. I've used duolingo in the past but it didn't really click with me but that was honestly two years ago when I had initially thought about learning French, but right then I got a new job so I was focused on that and couldn't multitask.
Currently though, I am mostly home due to covid so I want to use this time for french
currently I am looking Babbel and Pimsleur, but open to any recommendations. The apps aren't cheap since they are around $15-$25 a month here in canada and their trials are pretty limited, at least from what I can see. Would appreciate any advice, even if it's an app I haven't heard about. I just discovered Project Voltaire which seems to be a very specialized French app but don't know much beyond that.
anyway, kindly give me your insights, and also feel free to share any pointers when it comes to learning a new language. Would be appreciated
