I also just started to learn French. What do you think about the language do you find it difficult?

Hello, Anita-Lean.
I’ve been learning French for the past 3 months, focusing mainly in listening comprehension. I don’t think it’s being difficult overall. However, the language has some features that might be a bit hard to learn, as it’s the case in any other language. These are the things that I can point out:

  • verb conjugation
  • gender of words
  • and the spoken language itself.

The first two things work very similarly as in my native language, but it’s a bit tricky. For example, the word “dress” it’s female in French (“la robe”), but it’s male in Portuguese (“o vestido”).
The third point is simply that I still have some trouble understanding native speakers in a natural conversation.

I wish you the best of luck in your studies :slight_smile:
