I'd say again, because it's important, that the best and most fun way to improve your French but also to motivate you to do so on a daily base, without talking to someone, is "music" of course but especially "movies". Although if your level is good enough then watch them with "french subtitles" instead and not english one or even better, MERGE the french and english subtitles on the same movie so that both subtitles can be displayed. I use this website which is great: http://www.srtmerger.org/en/. If you have any issue for downloading either french movies or subtitles just let me know and I can help. Once you have both subtitles on the screen don't hesitate to pause the movie after each sentence being said and each double set of subtitles being displayed and only when you finished to read both english and french and understood most of the french then hit the play button again. It might take you twice or three times longer to watch any movie but every bit of this time well spent and entertained is worth the trouble! And if you are not annoyed, like I am, by watching a movie again soon after you finished it then give it another round and you'll understand even more, better and faster the fun colloquial french you can't learn in the boring text books! And you can really choose what type of French you wanna learn or improve depending on the type of movie too. I'm learning Chinese also this way and it's very rewarding although I have at most not 2 but 4 subtitles on the screen: "Chinese characters, their latin transcription (Pinyin), english word by word and finally English!! So it takes me ages to finish one of these movie but if I liked it then it also becomes a film truly special to me...

Talk to yourself ;) You can read/listen/watch sth and then discuss it with a mirror or without. It's usually a bit boring and there is no correction, but it helps!

you can always listen to french song or watch movie/cartoon in french. if you don't understand, you can read the subtitles in english. hope this will help you :)
