Can we learn a foreign language entirely on our own ?
Lately, I’ve been receiving some direct messages, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to share my experience and process of learning French.
- I started learning French in April 2021 during the COVID period, without any prior exposure to the language. From April to August, I dedicated at least 80 hours per month to studying.
- I wanted to experiment (in an EXTREME way) and see if it’s possible to learn a language ENTIRELY on my own, starting FROM SCRATCH (without the guidance of a teacher or a language partner). This includes listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, I relied SOLELY on online resources and books to support my learning.
