Ni hao Sinaian , You can start taking some initial french lessons or a course for beginners to get introduced to the basic vocabulary and the pronunciation *which is a bit difficult* and then you continue learning by your self using different methods such as : - You can use online french lessons : You can log on to that site for example and try to learn by yourself : http://www.frenchassistant.com/lessons.asp?frenchlevel=1&lesson=10000&Lastlesson=0&LastFrenchLevel=1 Make sure to choose courses with audio and if possible video components as well. - Memorize vocabulary and put them in practice through simple readings, listening to french music and watching movies in french or with french subtitles to start with. - Practice speaking and listening to french natives in real if possible or online . -Study french grammar and do exercises : http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/grammar/ http://www.faculty.virginia.edu/ajmlevine/grammar/a_grammarindex.html All the best :)

If you have a very big motivation you may succeed. In my teacher opinion a lot try and few succeed. All the best :-) As concern me i would never try to learn chinese by myself :-)))) The result would be very funny !
