How I Learned French After 60--My Journey and Tips

Video Description

Can you really learn a new language after 60? I put this to the test when I started learning French four years ago, and it has truly changed my life. In this video, I share my French language journey—what worked, what didn’t, my embarrassing mistakes, and the incredible experiences that came from it. I started with online classes, progressed to immersion in France, and now continue my studies with language apps, podcasts, and tutoring. Learning a new language is great for brain health, builds confidence, and opens doors to amazing friendships and experiences. If you've ever thought about learning a language but felt it was too late, I hope my story inspires you to start! 📌 Resources Mentioned: 🔹 Alliance Française: https://www.afusa.org 🔹 Babbel & Babbel Live: https://get.babbel.com 🔹 Preply (tutoring online): Get 70% off your first lesson with this link: https://preply.com/en/?pref=MTgwOTk3MjM=&id=1743036385.84045&ep= 🔹 French Podcasts: Duolingo French Podcast, French en Route, French Through Stories, Inner French, Little Talk in Slow French, News in Slow French 🔹 My School In Lyon: Ecole Interculturelle de Français pour Etrangers eife2f: http://www.eife2f.com/ 🔹 My School in Paris: École Suisse Internationale: https://www.ecolesuisse-fle.fr/ 💬 Have you ever tried learning a new language?
