As a matter of fact, learning languages is very useful and important for any person. Among all foreign languages, French is one of the most urgent languages to learn, as you can make the best use of it to communicate with others, wherever you live, and wherever you go. In addition, French is classified as the second foreign language that people –all over the world- desire to learn, surely after English.

Two years ago, I decided to learn a foreign language, and then I was puzzled, my mother tongue is English, so which language have I to learn? After I searched a lot on which one is most suitable, I decided to learn French. And before you wonder why, I'll explain my reasonable point of view.

First of all, French is the official language in 28 countries. It is also – like English exactly- spoken in 5 continents, and considered the second global language, and it will support my career building, by allowing me to apply for a variety of positions which requires applicants to be fluent in French, both spoken and written.

Unfortunately, there were a huge problem, which is French language is not easy to learn or to speak at all, I had to learn tons of none familiar words, phrases, and pronunciations. I don't even have a specified or structured method to learn and speak French. So you can imagine how much confused I was. In fact, difficulties in learning and speaking French made me –in the beginning steps of learning- very uncomfortable, and I was about giving up.

The most difficult issue I faced, was the ' pronunciation', it's really so hard to be an English native speaker, and want to be completely fluent in French in the same time, although French is considered a musical language.

For example, the new sounds in French would make you crazy at first, as they are very confusing, the most obvious example for this, is the 'French R'. Really it was my curse. Accents also will take efforts from you to expertise them, and to be familiar with.

In addition, you will also face difficulties in the liaisons and silent letters.

Verbs in French also were very hard to learn, each verb is changing in a different way, there's nothing like (teach, taught, taught), or (speak, spoke, spoken), they all are like irregular verbs (go, went, gone), generally, grammar in French is not easy or clear as grammar in English.

Then it comes to understand spoken French, the best case is to have someone who deals with you in a daily base, so you could listen and speak to him frequently, otherwise, it's really would take a lot of time and exercising from you.

From my experience in learning French, I can advise you to have your own expert guide, to facilitate the process of learning French as much as possible.

Finally, I found it very interesting as well as hard to be a ' French speaker', it was really a good experience.
