French is said to be the language of love and is spoken in places all over the world. There are surefire ways to learn to speak French that can be quite fun and don't have to be difficult at all. There are products out there like the Rosetta Stone and other learning CDs that you listen to and then repeat what is said They are a surefire way to learn to speak French. There are also numerous books and internet resources that can help.

The Rosetta Stone is an excellent way to learn French. Unlike other learning methods, the Rosetta Stone envelops you in the language from the beginning. The idea is that you learn the language just like you learned your native tongue as a child. You are shown pictures of things and the French name for them is spoken in the background. You soon learn to associate images with words, just as you did as a child. The Rosetta Stone learning system has helped many people easily learn a foreign language.

Another way to learn how to speak French is to listen to recordings that say French words and what they mean in English and then you repeat them. This method has been used for many years and a lot of people have had success with it. It may be simple but it is quite an effective way to learn the French language. At the end of the day it is probably best to combine the above methods to learn French.

Of course, another admittedly more expensive, but absolutely delightful and surefire way of learning to speak French is to visit France or another French speaking location like Luxembourg, Quebec or southern Belgium for a lengthened period of time. In those places you can learn by what is referred to as "immersion," living every moment among French-speaking people and learning the French culture as well. The great advantage of using the on location "immersion" method is that you will not only learn to speak French like a native, but you will learn the French-speaking way of life. Through using the on location "immersion" method you will also feel French when you speak French.

In any case, whether you choose the Rosetta Stone, CDs or "immersion," with dedication you will have learned a surefire way of speaking the French language--the world wide language of love.
