Je désire apprendre le français.

Je serais allé à une classe pour travailler mais maintenant elle peut être annulée. ☹ Savez-vous d’un bon website qui m’aidera à apprendre le français ?

Le démuni a appris le français avant maintenant. (espoir de que vous pouvez comprendre ma écriture terrible. J’ai utilisé un babelfish pour m’aider !)

merci!

Postez-vous en anglais, s’il vous plait.

I don’t think that is even close to correct but then again, I’m going off of 6th grade French class here.

Stripped French learned before now (hope of which you can include/understand my terrible writing. I used a babelfish to help myself!) thank you

This from the Google translator

Please post in English. If you can’t, then use a translator. (hey! I’m a jingoistic American. What do I know?)

Thank you.

Merci **Cunctator** 😉

Have you used that site yourself? If so did you find it worthwhile to sign up or did you just use the online lessons? The online stuff seems good but if the email is better then i might sign up though I am always a little wary of giving out email details as i loathe getting spam or suddenly finding that it is going to cost me.

Since you’re looking for opinions, let’s move this to IMHO.

No, I haven’t signed up for the emails. I’ve simply used the site as a reference. For actual tuition I’ve been taking lessons at the local Alliance Française.

Another site that I’ve find useful for its summaries of French grammar is [this one](http://www.laits.utexas.edu/tex/gr/index.html#ten) from the University of Texas.

oh thank you again - that second one looks good also 🙂

Unfortunately the French class i was going to do via my employer might be cancelled due to lack of new students. I figure i will try to learn as much as possible on my own though 🙂
