<p>Learning French is an ongoing and involved process. You can&#39;t learn how to speak French overnight, and you probably can&#39;t learn on your own, no matter how many books and CDs you buy. What you can do is use this free website to supplement your learning: to get another explanation of something you didn&#39;t understand, to get extra practice between classes, and to brush up on what you once learned but have now all but forgotten.</p><h3>Learn French Online</h3><p><a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/french-4133079" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">Learn French at About.com</a> offers hundreds of lessons and thousands of sound files to help you learn French.
