How can you learn french fast – and to have fun at the same time ? One way to help is to eliminate the things that may have made learning french a painful experience for you earlier.

Number one on the hit list is being obliged to work on subject matter that has little or no interest for you. If your motivation for learning french is to accelerate business with french-speaking customers, you may find it galling to have to wade through reams and reams of Victor Hugo. So wherever possible, choose the subject matter that interests you in its own right.

Next on the list is being overly pernickety about french grammar. Believe it or not, french grammar can be fun. When you get to a certain level of expertise, it can be quite satisfying to juggle the different verbs, tenses, conjugations and moods.

But when you are starting out and you need action fast, take a hint from how children get along. Fit the words together so that they make reasonable sense and accept that improvement can be made later. It's more fun to have sentences in broken french that work. Use it now, fix it up as you go.

A similar comment can be made for spelling and particular french characters (for example "français", meaning french). French people are not always prime examples of how to spell french words correctly anyway. Start with the knowledge you have and make a best guess if you don't know. Unless you are sitting an exam for entrance to french university, it's more important to have something imperfect but functional now, rather than waiting for perfection later.

And how about criticism as a final topic ? French is a complex language and it will always be easy to criticise someone on their french, even if they have perfectly observed the rules about grammar and spelling. Don't worry about it. If you can learn some basic spoken french, then you can start to communicate quickly, and when that happens, you can start to enjoy it. Accept a reasonable compromise along the way and learning french can be fast and fun.
