What can I do to help me learn my verbs in french better?

Yyou just need practice for that. So, write down the French & the English for each verb at least 4-5 times. Then, hide the English (keep a notebook on it or something) & try to recall the meaning of each verb. Once you're thorough with this, you can go on & hide the French and try to recall the meaning. Then, you can try using the verbs in different sentences. This will help you learn the verbs better & make you thorough with them.

For me, I found it easier to read. Also, you should find an environment where you can practice speaking this langauge a lot. \n1) Get a tutor.\n2) Use practice tapes.\n3) Read more the books from that language.\n4) Interact with people who speak that language more often.\n5) There are training centers that teach the language.\n6) Buy workbooks that you can do at home.\n\nPRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!! =D Good luck! Talk on! =D

Try Michel Thomas CDs. French is a hard languge to learn, but these will make you start speaking straight away and give you confidence. Bon chance.

i'd try what i did....and that is:  if you want to learn french, change yahoo's webpage (or your favorite webpage) into french and then MAKE yourself translate it DAILY....using altavista.babelfish.com   or whatever online translator you choose...it has worked pretty good with me, i work with a bunch of LEGAL mexicans and i have learned pretty decent spanish in a short amount of time...it's still hard to understand it, but i can speak it well

really the best way to improve in ANY language is to immerse yourself in it.  that means living somewhere that english is the only language, and by doing so you are forced to use english all day every day.  it is hard, but you will quickly improve, and be much better than if you just took classes or read books.\n\nif you can't swing this, then speaking regularly in english is the best way - listening and speaking are the hard parts.  i know plenty of people who can read and write pretty well, but their spoken english is terrible.  i'm kind of the same way with french.

Use it constantly.  Write with it...learn slang and colloquialisms. Online chat is a good place for that.  And keep a vocabulary list. Learn and use at least one new word every day.

The way ,my FRENCH TEACHERS, MOSTLY, FRENCH NATIONALS/BELGIANS,was by first teaching, some IRREGULAR VERBS, then giving us for loud reading,a short lesson, say, 10 to 12 lines,containing, the verb's  Application, from the Present Continuous.....to the past-perfect.\nThey would read to us, make us read, & en-act plays, like 'JEAN D' ARK'.Spoke to us in French, accepted answers, in French, prompted us when we went wrong. I AM GRATEFUL TO THEM TODAY...COZ, I TEACH FRENCH, AS A VISITING FACULTY MEMBER.

Here are a few suggestions:\n\nFirst, you may want to look up some Community Colleges in your area. They may offer some very inexpensive classes to improve your French.\n\nSecond, there is a free service online called WordChamp (http://www.wordchamp.com) which will give you French websites (and many other languages for that matter) and give special links to translate words quickly which you cannot understand. I really love this tool.\n\nYet another way would be to find a French penpal or email community and get a penpal living in France or Quebec.  A Google or Yahoo Search should reveal a plethora of these sites.\n\nFinally, if you're in North America, it may be less expensive for you to immerse yourself in the French language by going to Montreal, Quebec, where they speak French and English.  Of course, if you can get to France, bon voyage!

I took the easy way, and went to the country to learn the language. When I say the easy way, it has a double meaning. Anyway, I learned French in the USA, in highschool, and I can give you some tips. \n\nPractice as much as you can. A computer program is a good thing to learn vocabulary. Use online translators, too, but don't get caught up with them for translating sentances or big texts -- because they wont do you any good. Read a verb book, and start to learn your verbs, because once you know the basic conjugations for verbs, you'll be able to conjugate any very you want to. \n\nTo be able to retain everything you learn, you need to practice. I've been speaking French for 5 years now (I went and lived in Paris for 6 months and when I left, I spoke flawlessly). Now that I have been speaking Spanish for 8 months, I find it hard to speak french, and some spanish words come out. That's because I have been so focused on Spanish and I haven't put to practice my French in a while.  \n\nIf you know words in Spanish, try to think of things when you look around your room, and tell the object to yourself in Spanish. Like others said, watch TV, movies, listen to music, anything to let your ear hear spanish. You're only going to learn if you look up the words that you don't know, because if you're listening to spanish all day and not relating a word to english (or any other language you know) you wont learn.\n\nIt's fun to learn another language once you learn the first. It's easier, like everyone says, because you do things better from when you learned your first language. I worked harder learning spanish, maybe it's because I am older (well I am 20 years old) but I just know how things work. \n\nTake your time and the language will come. Don't make it feel like a chore because it's not. It should be fun learning another language... because so many people in the USA only speak one language, already you're showing interest in other cultures, wanting to learn about another way of communicating -- it's great.\n\nI dont know if you want to speak Spain spanish, Mexican spanish, or Argentine Spanish (what I speak) but go to www.clarin.com. It's Buenos Aires' newspaper online. Print a small paragraph and highlight all the words you dont know. Honestly, it takes time, but it helps. Then you can try reading something else, after learning the highlighted words, and you'll be amazed how much more you'll understand.\n\nTo memorize, you have to practice, practice, practice. I hope this helps a little. Preguntame si necesitas ayuda! Que disfrutes!

Lots of options for lessons on here:(including sound options)\nhttp://www.frenchassistant.com/default.asp \nThis one has a few phrases and has a media player, so you can hear how the phrases are pronounced. You have to scroll down a bit to see it though.\nhttp://www.bonjour.com/\n\nAvec plaisir ! (It's my pleasure)

learn some french, like verbs and conjugation, as well as some things about French culture.  i would also suggest bringing a small french dictionary, and learning to say "i don't know" (je ne sais pas) and "i dont speak french.  do you speak english" (je ne parle pas le francais.  est-ce que vous parlez englais?)  also, shouting "who speaks english?" (qui parle englais?)  can help you find a translator if you are having a really hard time.  there are also elecrtonic things that can help, too.  the internet can help, and if you can spare the money, buy a Holt French I and mabye even a French II textbook.  they are blue, and they are have Allez Viens!  written on them.  i have used them for three years.  also, you can get cds or tapes to listen to on the plane.  you can also get french movies or listen to movies in french in order to understand french better.  it can help a lot.  im sure there are other things that you can use to help, and you can probably ask a french teacher to give you a few quick lessons, or some references.  hope this helps.

first of all, are you a visual person or an audio person? If you learn by visual, reading or watching movie (in your language) with subtitle (in the language you want to learn) will help.\n\nIf you learn by audio, listen to the songs (the language you want to learn) and find out the translated lyrics. Another way is to have someone to speak the language to. That helps a lot.

I had friends who sucked at maths.So far I met 4/5 people who advised us to do the same thing.In maths what you do is that as soon as your taught something new,be sure you understand whats going on,how to do the sum etc.if you still dont know how to do it ,then ask the teacher or anyone who knows how to do the sum.ask them how to do it until your familiar with the procedure.then practice one or two pages.if you forget it then ask again and again till you understand it and go on practising it,even if you have gone to the next topic.\nFor french,see if someone knows how to speak french and speak as much french as posible to that person-you'll learn you're vocab that way.or you could read french story books.I know the verbs are difficult but i guess you have to byheart them\nIf you did'nt understand then mail me what you did'nt understand and i'll explain it better.

Just ask people(that speak english fluently)  that you are friends with to correct you if they notice you pronoucing or using a phrase wrong or write a sentence wrong.\n\nBTW this flows a lot better. " I'm bad at speaking English. What are some steps I can follow to improve on speaking English?"
