I want to improve my oral French, but don't have French environment, how?

Question

I don't have any French friends, nor can I go to France. So have to practise it alone. Any suggestion, pls?

Answer 1

Sadly you don't have any friends or can't go to France, but you obviously have the Internet so let's use that. Go to http://www.tv5.org/ - here you have two options, either 'information' (news) where you can watch videos of today's news (so you'll be able to hear French and can copy) or 'apprendre le français' which will help you in your language learning. Speaking good French starts with listening, the more you listen the more familiar the language will be and the more natural it will be when you speak.

Answer 2

You can buy a CD with oral exercices.

Answer 3

Learn poems, and train to say them quickly, again and again, until they sound natural. So I learned English (I'm french). My English is not very good, but my accent is excellent!

Answer 4

Reading texts loud is an additional way to improve oral language. After doing so intensively, the sentences, whole phrases come to you naturally later. It´s very effective when you lack of personal contacts.

Answer 5

GB, Get your self a ENGLIAH to FRENCH  BOOK / Doctrinaire. Do not

get it the other way round like FRENCH to ENGLISH. That would be wrong, just see the first way that I have put it OK? and you will be OK, alone. Now if you have some one to practice your french with then it would be easier & shorter for you but you do not, so you have to do it alone but you can do it just listen to what I have told you OK BIG M

AN?

GOOD LUCK TO YOU WITH YOUR FRENCH BIG MAN.                           ( JE MENVEVAIS.)      ( This means goodbye )

Answer 6

a cd?

Answer 7

Use the internet to search for local french communities within your area, you'd be surprised at what you can find nowadays.

If you can not find french communities, you probably already know there are also other countries that speak it too such as Cameroon and Switzerland, even Algeria speaks it well. Search for those communities as well.

Voltaire also has a good idea ^^
