Learn To Speak French Fluently

Learn To Speak French Fluently - Back To The Basics (Part 4)

The last of the four main basic abilities you need to learn to speak French fluently is the ability to speak. It is much easier to understand French when spoken than it is to express yourself in French. Why? Because it is less difficult to translate French into English when you hear it compared to when you have to translate English into French when you want to speak it. This is because there are French words that we can recognize easily when hearing French called "passive vocabulary" and there are French words that we struggle to recall when speaking French called "active vocabulary" but when heard we instantly remember them. You should aim to get more experience listening to and speaking real day-to-day French. More exposure to French, as it is spoken on the street, will improve your oral proficiency and make your spoken French sound more natural and less like your French textbook.
