Hi, Kat,

Glad to hear! Keep it up!

Hey, Matiss,

Wow! It’s really interesting to learn about the differences between our languages. By the way, is Latvian similar to Russian? I tried to study Russian a couple of years ago but didn’t continue. I’d like to retake it.

Languages can be confusing, especially when there are so many differences and exceptions.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Hi, Karin,

Glad you found this useful. 🙂

I get what you mean. Spanish is my native language, and even though we have grammatical genders, we still get confused when studying genders in French. So, don’t worry.

Answering your question, you can start with YouTube. It’s a great resource for people interested in learning languages online. You can check out this article for more ideas.

Hi, Sami,

You made an interesting point there. When speaking a language different from our native language, we may not feel confident. We’re full of insecurities and don’t want to make any mistakes. However, it’s all part of the process. If we never overcome those fears, we won’t be able to succeed.

We may feel overwhelmed and at a loss at what to do when studying a language. That’s why I decided to open this blog. Feel free to come back anytime for more tips.

Thanks for commenting.

Hey, Nuttanee,

French is hard for some and easy for others. It’s kind of subjective.

It’s interesting to learn how languages differ, isn’t it? By the way, what language do you speak if you don’t mind my asking?

Thanks for commenting.

Hey, Paul,

I get it. Genders are common in Romance languages like Spanish and French, and they can be hard to grasp for English speakers. On top of that, there are many exceptions. Not too much help lol.

Thanks for commenting. Feel free to come back anytime for more French resources.

These groups of nouns all of which are either masculine or feminine really got me thinking. Do my native language (Latvian) also has that as I’ve never thought of it way? And sure enough, it turns out our months are also all masculine or days are all feminine. Whereas for seasons, it’s 50/50. Some are masculine and some are feminine. For cars, it highly depends. For cities, it’s almost always feminine.

It actually surprised me that they have a gender for letters. Not sure, we have that. And I’m pretty sure English doesn’t have that as well. Fascinating, indeed.

This was really fun. I appreciate it. Cheers.

I found your site very informative. I didn’t get far enough in my lessons to learn the articles and masculine and feminine. I have a hard time learning any language. I have also attempted to learn Spanish, American Sign Language and even music as a language.

I think the hardest part of language learning is that there are those distinctions in masculine and feminine. I don’t understand why one object is feminine while another is masculine. Your site does a good job of expressing the differences and when to use one or the other, but I am still confused. I may have to study your site a bit longer!

Do you know of any easy to use learning programs to help make it a little easier. Something in the inexpensive range? Thank you!

While a number of places exist that help people who want to speak French be able to get some insight as to what is required for learning the language.  There would probably be some healthy of videos of speaking French, as well as information like yours that give information about the basics of the language.  The idea is surely appealing to learn.  

When visiting with those who speaking English well it is always a bit intimidating for me as I realize I could do some improving.  I appreciate your attention to the idea of learning to speak French.  Your article is a great resource. Thanks
