How to learn (QC) french good? (self.asklemmy)

My current place is being sold, so my cheap ass rent for an entire house? Gone!

Oh well, I have a friend in QC looking to move, and he asked if I'd join him. Prices in MTL are of negligible difference to my city in Ontario, but the area we'd be looking is in the more-french portion of MTL.

So I've got maybe 4 months to learn as much french as I can. I have an ok understanding of syntax and can parse the phonemes on the bad end of ok.

I don't wanna use the Owl app, I don't think it's actually that effective a language teacher.

Any advice on how I can shove in as much french as I can to become minimally conversational?

Apps, anki decks, textbooks; anything would be appreciated. ♥

Try Refold. You don’t have to do the paid courses, just join their Discord and look for their recommended lists of things there and on the website to read/shows to easily watch on different streaming services for French. They have different “stages” to go through, and you can pay for coaching, but a good chunk can also be done on your own for free.

And sorry for Reddit links, but more good info and resources: https://www.reddit.com/r/Refold/comments/md9yk9/a_quickstart_guide_for_french_or_how_to_get_to/
