if you're learning French to go to France then you should try Arabic instead
If I were to go to France, I wouldn't go to the brown areas; it's pretty much concentrated in the cities anyhow. And Arabic is too hard.
i bought a book about freanch to check it out. can you explain to me the logic of what parts of words are read and what arent?
Nigga why are you asking me? Well, it's not THAT hard to remember. Most final consonants are silent, except for C, R, F, and L. The weak e in the middle of words disappears in speech, like in fenêtre which sounds closer to fnètr. Vowel + n or m usually makes a nasal sound, so pain becomes peh(n). But if another vowel follows, the consonant comes back, like bonne année. And when a word ends in a normally silent consonant and the next word begins with a vowel, that consonant links over, like vous avez (to) voo-za-vay. Add in the fixed letter groups (oi = wah (sound it makes), eau = oh, ch = sh)
It's not nearly as bad as some languages. I just try to remember it as, just don't pronounce the last letter of a word, and always, ALWAYS pronounce words with an accent, or else you won't get the sounds right.
i remember reading this from awhile ago when i wanted to learn a bunch of different languages. i don't know if this will actually help though

reason is that by now, i coudnt really find da rules for it, so thank you. french to me is real weird, but its a language with a really interesting historic background (sad that the rest of the languages in france are basically gone because of the revolution).
i know you asked for materials. i remember there was this site that had a bunch of recordings, used by the CIA iirc to help agents learn languages fast. RN i cant remember the name of the site, but it looked sort of old and you can download the recordings win zip format. If i find it, i will let you know.

first they came for the blogposters, and i did not speak out, because i was not a blogposter.
then they came for the mayafags, and i did not speak out because i was not a mayafag.
then they came for the question askers, and i did not speak out, because i was not a question asker.
then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

then they came for the question askers, and I finally spoke out: "Are you sure you got all the mayafags?"
Cause it's a good language... and I'm obsessed with France and French culture.
