About Online French Course
Hi, I’m Mark, and I spent 7 years learning the French language at school, at university and also informally at home from ‘teach yourself’-type materials.
I have a knack for languages, I am fluent in several. It’s just French that’s killing me! So I decided to have another go, but this trying some of the online French courses that are out there.
