I think the better way is to practice conversation, I mean, that's te better way to learn any language in my opinion...

I think tha Romance languages such sd Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish str easier to learn French that for an English speaker, since the rules are similar and oirigins of the languages are the same, latin. Of course pronounciation is the key to learn the French language.

It will not be hard for english native-speaker because french and english have many similarities. 30 percent of english words were borrowed from french. Also there are plenty of international words. So I do not think you will have difficulties with studying, maybe it will be hard to pronounce some french letters.

Oh sorry I don't know French language.
