4 Years Learning French — What Worked and What Didn’t

After four years of learning French, I’ve made every possible mistake — and learned what truly matters.

In this honest reflection, I share what actually worked for me, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently if I could start again.

You’ll hear:
📚 The methods that helped me make real progress (and the ones that wasted my time)
🗓 How I fit learning into a full-time job and family life
💬 Why your personality type matters more than your study method
🌿 The mindset shifts that made learning French lighter, happier, and more natural

If you’re learning French — or any language — and you feel stuck or guilty for “not doing enough,”
this episode will remind you that language learning isn’t a race; it’s a lifestyle.

🎧 Listen now and take what works — leave what doesn’t.
