Of course, I was taught French during my school days but never took it seriously. In my honest opinion, something like that just wasn't of any importance to me, and probably never would be.
Like everyone I know, you just figure that English is more popular and that you can get along anywhere with your own knowledge of the English language, right?
How dead wrong I was.
It really became apparent how wrong I had been when I was sent to France for an assignment through my work. I was like a real fish out of water.
Everywhere I went to, everyone was speaking French. Finding somebody who could speak my native tongue was like trying to find someone in England who could speak Swahili.
Whew, I really felt lost.
Even after the experience I had in France, I still wasn't really interested in learning the language, as I probably wouldn't ever be going back to France.
My boss told me when I got back that I'd be returning to France in 3 months. Not only that, but this time I would be staying for much longer than the last time.
I argued, begged and pleaded, but she was having none of it.
There and then I made a commitment to myself to learn French before the 3 months was up.
Being a lover of audio books, I went right ahead and bought some “Teach yourself French” foreign language audio books which I played while preparing for work in the morning, while exercising, during my commute to and from work and any other time when my hands were busy but my mind was free.
To be honest, I didn't really pay too much attention to the "Teach yourself French" lessons in the beginning, because it was all very strange to me.
But as time went on, it all started to make sense. What really helped was the translations to English for any word spoken in French.
This really confirmed what I had read sometime ago about the power of listening. No wonder God gave us 2 ears and just one mouth. You can learn virtually any language from just listening - it really is that powerful.
I couldn't believe it, but I gradually started to pick up the language and was able to master quite an large amount of French just six weeks after I had started.
You can imagine the surprise on the face of my boss when, 10 weeks later, I spoke French to her without mixing it with a single word in English!
She was amazed by my achievement and wanted to know exactly how I'd done it. I told her - audio books!
Not only was she very impressed, she made me the head of the delegation she was sending to represent our company in France.
She made sure every other member of my team got their foreign language audio books and did exactly what I had done.
Three months later, on my return to France, nobody would mistake me for the "a fish out of water" I had been on my initial visit.
It was incredible, but I was able to achieve this without taking any classes, without hiring any private French tutor, without reading any "French tutorial" books.
All of this was possible within 3 months just listening to French audio book lessons.
And do you know what was the most intriguing thing about all of this? All of this I did in my "free" time. There were no extra committments of time needed from me, I just used the same time that I had wasted in the past.
Now, if I could do this within just three months, I am absolutely certain that anyone else can do it too.
If there is any language you would love to learn, follow my footsteps and you will be pleasantly surprised what can happen in just 3 months, with the power of audio books.
There are several audio book versions of many books on learning foreign languages that you can get on the Internet.
