Hi, Jannette,

I agree. Online learning is good, but there is something about books that we love, right? To each his own.

Thanks for commenting.

When learning a new language the old way of reading books might be the better option than an audio version. I personally like to read everything I learn from books, so am glad I found your review of books to help me learn French. I appreciate you taking the time to recommend the best books for learning French.

Hi, Gail,

I always compare learning French to dieting and working out. When you feel like giving up, remember why you started in the first place. It's also important to set realistic goals. Otherwise, we will easily give up. Last but not least, we have to understand that as long as we do something to learn, we will progress in our learning process. We don't have to study for hours every day. Keep it simple, 20 or 30 minutes is good. If you have more time, then go for it, but don't be too hard on yourself.

Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for your suggestions of French books. I love French and I am learning it through Duolingo which I find easy to use but a little repetitive at times. However, what is great about it is the fact that I have done a little bit every day for nearly a year now and I really feel that my French is improving. I agree that you need a lot of vocabulary when you start learning so saturation is a good point. I think that any book will only be good if you use it, so what tips do you have for keeping your motivation?
