Is it possible to teach yourself French?

Yes.

It’s not just achievable…

…it’s actually one of the easiest languages for an English speaker to learn.

Why?

English and French share many similarities – for example, English has stolen and adapted many French words.

Teaching yourself has its challenges, but also many advantages. Rather than going to a class or finding a tutor, teaching yourself frees you to go at your own pace and make the most of your own learning style.

While you’ll have to put some work into finding good resources, there are lots out there. For example, there are wonderful YouTube channels for learning French, terrific French podcasts, and French learning blogs.

A French teacher instructs students in French language skills and introduces them to French culture. Language teachers who offer instruction to children in public schools may be most commonly found in middle school and high school settings. These educators plan and deliver lessons, assign and assess practice work and evaluate student progress throughout the school year. They are often responsible for students in common areas, such as hallways and lunchrooms, in addition. Working with young people who may be unmotivated or unruly can be demanding and tiring. Many find great rewards when they are able to observe the many milestones reached by their students, however.
