Coucou les French learners,
I asked Josh, a dedicated member of our site, how he mastered speaking French so naturally.
His answer was inspiring and shows just how powerful Story Listening and comprehensible input can be in helping learners achieve real fluency:
“I started my French journey in mid-February 2023. Before that I didn’t know anything in French other than ‘Bonjour.’ I started by watching some basic YouTube French videos and also videos on HOW to learn a language. It didn’t take long for me to find out about Comprehensible Input. I decided this would be the most efficient way for me to learn. So I began researching for French Comprehensible Input resources online. Eventually, I stumbled across your YouTube channel and I loved everything about it. For the next whole year, 90% of my study consisted of watching your videos on your website and also joining your weekly community group meetings. After a year of using your website I felt comfortable to begin finding language exchange partners and watch other Beginner/intermediate French content online.“
