New year, new goals.

What if your goal for 2022 was to improve your French? Whether you are currently at a very low or intermediate level, there are many ways to improve the language.

Tip 1: Put your phone and all your social networks in the language you want to improve.

Why should you do this?

Tip 2:Write in French as soon as you can.

Your shopping list, your to-do list, your dreams, your goals for the week, in short, whenever you have to write, opt for the French language. Then check that it is written correctly with the help of a good translator.

Tip 3: Find a discussion group once or twice a week.
