15 Great Online Resources to Learn French

We’ve put together a list of some our favourite online resources to help you learn French. There’s a good mix of sites to help with grammar, speaking, reading and writing. Some of our private French students often ask how they can continue to improve their French outside of their private French lessons. Our best advice is to try and immerse yourself as much as possible in the language. Watch French films, listen to French radio and embrace the wide variety of novel online learning resources now available.
