I don't know a wink of French, but I am planning on minoring in French language this coming school year. But I want to get a head start on it this summer so that I can possibly place out of beginner French and go on into the intermediate class.

Does anybody have any recommendations for Software or Books or Websites to get a newbie like me started on mastering the French language?

Thanks a bunch guys!

French?! Thats so 1990s. Korean is where its at!

Seriously, good luck! There are loads of electronic and paper resources for learning French...I don't have any specific tips but before investing in anything, there are bound to be reviews of it (if its any good) so make sure to check them out. Amazon.com is a good place to start looking for materials.

French isn't that hard... easier grammar than German for example.
I was decent at it in school. But after 3 years I discontinued it. Then I was 2 weeks in Paris once (holiday), and after that I never spoke or wrote French again, so now it's really gotten bad...

When you learn a language, make sure you make something out of it. No point in learning it only to forget it in a few years because you never used it.

Apparently, that one program, The Rosetta Stone, is really good for learning languages. It costs a lot of money unless you pirate it and even when you pirate it, it's really big.

I'm enjoying my French class in high school. I'm sure Chinese is more difficult than French. =/
