How Long Does It Take To Learn French
Learning French is a journey that differs depending on your beginning level, study strategy, and commitment. As a Category I language, French is among the simpler languages for English speakers to pick up. The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) predicts that achieving a B2 level on the CEFR scale will require around 600-750 hours of study (or 24-30 weeks of intensive practice). While these hours can be spent in a variety of ways, the correct setting—such as immersive sessions or guided practice with experienced mentors—can greatly improve your development and confidence. Every step brings you closer to being fluent!

Grammar
What is a noun?
Les noms or les substantifs (nouns) are naming words.
They refer to people (la fille), places (la France), animals (le chat), objects (la table) and concepts (l’amour). A noun can be a subject or an object in a sentence. They are often followed by an article and can be described by adjectives. And sometimes, to avoid repetition, nouns can be replaced by pronouns.
There are several categories of nouns in French: they can be proper or common, countable or uncountable as well as abstract or concrete.
Like in English, nouns can be singular or plural in French, however, unlike English French nouns have gender like, masculine or feminine.
Gender of French nouns
In French, nouns can be masculine (masculins) or feminine (feminins). We can sometimes recognise a noun’s gender by its ending, but the only way to be sure is to always learn nouns together with their article (le/un or la/une).
Some of the examples are- l’homme (the man), le chien (the dog), le tableau (the board), le travail (the work), le chêne(the oak tree) (masculine)
la femme (the woman), la danseuse (the dancer), la librairie (the book shop), la cuisine (the kitchen), la France (the France) (feminine)
Les pronoms sujects | |
Singulier | Pluriel |
je – I | Nous – We |
Tu – You (informal) | Vous – You (informal plural, formal singular & plural) |
Il – He | Ils – They (masculine plural) |
Elle – She | Elles – They (feminine plural) |
What is a verb?
Les verbes (verbs) are doing words or action word. They express an action performed by the subject of the sentence (a noun or a pronoun). In addition to the physical actions, verbs can also describe processes, concepts, states and thoughts.
Some typical French action verbs includes:- courir(to run), danser (to dance), sauter (to jump), chanter (to sing), écrire (to write), lire (to read), etc. Some typical stative verbs in French are être (to be), devenir ( to become), paraître (to appear), rester (to stay) etc.
Les verbes | |||
Être – to be | Avoir – to have | ||
Je suis- I am | Nous sommes- We are | J’ai- I have | Nous avons- We have |
Tu es- You are | Vous êtes- You are | Tu as- You have | Vous avez- You have |
Il est- He is | Ils sont- They are (mas.) | Il a- He has | Ils ont- They have (mas.) |
Elle est- She is | Ells sont- They are (fem.) | Elle a- She has | Ells ont- They have (fem.) |
Aller- to go | |
Je vais- I go | Nous allons- We go |
Tu vas- You go | Vous allez- You go |
Il va- He goes | Ils vont- They go (mas.) |
Elle va- she goes | Ells vont- They go (fem.) |
L’infinitif
L’infinitif (the infinitive) is the basic form of the verb. Like the participles, it is a non-conjugated form of the verb, which means that it does not express a tense, person or number.
French infinitives have four possible endings: -er (parler) (to speak), -ir (finir) (to finish), -re (prendre) (to take) or -oir (voir) (to see). In French there are numerous verbs and phrases that are always followed by the infinitive.
Examples:
Marc amie chanter les chansons anglaises. (Marc likes to sing English songs.)
La mére va au magasin pour acheter une robe. (The mother is going to market to buy a dress.)
What is an article?
In French, nouns are almost always preceded by an article or a determiner. This indicates the gender of the noun (masculine or feminine) and its number (singular or plural).
There are two types of articles: definite articles (articles définis) (le, la, les) and indefinite articles (article indéfinis) (un, une, des).
When to use the indefinite article in French
In French, the indefinite articles (articles indéfinis) are un (masculine singular), une (feminine singular) and des (plural for both genders). We use this in the following cases:
- to talk about something non-specific:-
Example: Sara est une amie de Samir. (Sara is a friend of Samir.) (one of many) - in an introductory capacity to mention something for the first time in a text:-
Example: Sara a un vélo (Sara has a bicycle)
When to use the definite article in French
The French definite articles (articles définis) are le in the masculine singular, la in the feminine singular, l’ for singular nouns that start with a vowel, and les in the plural (both genders). They correspond to the English article THE.
We use this in the following cases:
- to talk about a specific person or thing:-
Example: Sara est l’ami de Samir. (Sara is the friend of Samir.) - to refer to a person or thing that has already been mentioned or is already known to the listener/reader:-
Example: Le vélo est gris. (The bicycle is grey.) - And after the verbs like, aimer (to like), adorer (to love), préférer (to prefer), détester (to hate)
What is a preposition?
Prepositions (les prépositions) are small linking words that link elements of a sentence together. They indicate the relationships between words.
In French, there are simple prepositions (à, chez, etc.) as well as longer prepositional phrases (d’après, près de etc.).
Example:
Viens-tu chez moi? (Are you coming to my place ?)
Mon oncle travaille prés de Lyon. (My uncle works near Lyon.)
Learn French speaking
Speaking French is the most difficult ability to acquire, but it’s also the key to genuinely loving the language. Reading, writing, and listening may all be acquired on their own, but speaking fluently calls for confidence, practice, and professional coaching. With small group sessions and one-on-one practice with seasoned pros, our goal at French German Gurus Overseas Institute is to help you become an exceptional speaker. Get fluent more quickly by immersing yourself in authentic dialogues. Join us today to begin your journey—Bon courage!
