At the beginning, I didn\u2019t do that well with pronunciation. I thought if I could spell the words, I would be able to say them right, but that wasn\u2019t really the case. French sounds are different, so it was hard at first. As I kept practicing, especially with the pronunciation mode, I started to get better. By the end, I felt more comfortable speaking, even though I still need more practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This part was probably my strongest. I\u2019m really good at typing and spelling, so it came easier to me. I was able to recognize words and remember vocabulary better than when I had to say them out loud. It helped me understand how sentences are put together, and it made me feel more confident in my French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Translation was kind of hard for me at first. I used to try to translate everything word-for-word, but I learned that doesn\u2019t always work in French. That made it confusing in the beginning. Over time, I started focusing more on the meaning instead of each word, and that helped me improve. It\u2019s still something I\u2019m working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The immersion part made everything feel more real. It felt like I was actually using French in real-life situations instead of just doing assignments. It also helped me understand that learning a language isn\u2019t just about memorizing words, but actually being able to communicate. Overall, I feel like I\u2019ve improved, especially with vocabulary and pronunciation, but I still want to keep building my confidence when speaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
