What's the best way to learn French verbs ? + Another question I've been studying French for a while and when I got to French verbs " present simple " I learned that there're 3 types of verbs, those ending in -ir -er and the 3rd irregular group . Are all the verbs like that ?? What is the easiest way to learn them ? Also , when practicing French , my accent is not that good . Does it matter to French people ? Should I care more about the accent ? or they'll understand me anyway ? Are there any good websites to help me learn French ?

The best way to learn all those verbs is by talking to someone that knows french very well that will correct you when you make mistakes. Mindless repetition and learning by heart is not a good way to learn in my opinion. My advice to you is to find a pen pal that speaks french and have regular conversations with him or her via skype or any similar app. Concerning your accent you will find that french people do not care at all about accents and even like them most of the time, french people are very happy when they see a foreigner that expresses an interest in their culture or language, so I would say go for it and don't be afraid about your accent I guarantee you that the people you talk to will like it.

Hi BubblyGirl :) Unfortunately, same as in English, there are regular forms of verbs, but there are also many irregular verbs in French; and usually those are the ones you'll use the most, so it might be better for you to try and memorize them a little bit every day. Try and make a list that you can look at anytime with the most important ones : "je dis, tu dis, il dit, nous disons, vous dites, ils disent". That might help you remembering some of them! :) As far as prononciation is concerned, I don't think it's such a big deal. Yes, if you want to work with French, you will have to practice as much as you can in order to have as little accent as possible. But I think that as long as you can be clearly understood, a foreign accent is actually really cute for us to hear! French prononciation can be hard to learn and to articulate, but do your best and try and see if people can understand you without effort. I would advise you to watch French-speaking movies, listen to French music and read easy books (for children for example) anytime you can, and the prononciation should enter your mind little by little :) As for websites, I can't think of any that would be really helpful - the most efficient way is to practice with native speakers! :) Good luck!!

Verb: learn by rote until you are certain of every form and tense - re-test yourself every day. You can find tables of regular and irregular verbs in text books and on the Internet. Yes, accent is important and you should strive to acquire a good accent even if some sounds are difficult. There are plenty of exercises on the Internet and you can watch French videos to hear correct pronunciation.
