How to learn (QC) french good? (bookwormstory.social)

My current place is being sold, so my cheap ass rent for an entire house? Gone!

Oh well, I have a friend in QC looking to move, and he asked if I'd join him. Prices in MTL are of negligible difference to my city in Ontario, but the area we'd be looking is in the more-french portion of MTL.

So I've got maybe 4 months to learn as much french as I can. I have an ok understanding of syntax and can parse the phonemes on the bad end of ok.

I don't wanna use the Owl app, I don't think it's actually that effective a language teacher.

Any advice on how I can shove in as much french as I can to become minimally conversational?

Apps, anki decks, textbooks; anything would be appreciated. ♥

Best way to do it is to dive right in, alors ça commence maintenant! Si tu veux apprendre à te débrouiller en français parlé, il faut que tu trouves une façon de le parler régulièrement. C'est peut-être le plus difficile, de trouver quelqu'un pour ça, mais ça reste la meilleure façon d'apprendre. Sinon, consomme autant de contenu en français que possible. Écoute les nouvelles à Radio-Canada, regarde des émissions sur tout.tv, etc. Pour commencer, tu peux mettre des sous-titres en anglais, puis quand tu te sens prêt ou prête, mets-les en français. Plus tu vivras la langue, plus tu gagneras en confiance.

This is the best answer.

Also, set your phone and computer OS to French.
