I mean, could also be any language in General, not just French.
ernestb··on I created a language learning method that helps you learn French in 4 months
This is my first time on HN. I'm learning a lot from the feedback here. And I learned that I should have shared more details beforehand.

I'm not trying to sell anything. I basically wanted to see if people would be interested, then share more information and tips later.

Appreciate your feedback. I am a work in progress.

Sorry, this came across as salesy. My goal was to test the temperature and send more information and tips later on. But does that qualify this as spam?

Anyway, the tips you shared are great; the only issue is that most people don't have the means to go to France for an immersion. And Québéc, while a great place, is not really the best place to learn French, the French way. If your goal is to learn Canadian French, Quebec, without a doubt, is a great place to go.

Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate the feedback.

I don't think the "Learn in 4 Months" method will work for most languages. Now that I read your comment, I know German is one of those languages.

Yes, I'm a French native. Languages like French and English are very easy to learn if you have the right method and dedication. We have the method, so we'll probably partner with natives of other languages to develop these courses.

And thank you for the nudge. I really appreciate it.

btw, what are things you'd consider when trying to buy a language course?

We're currently working on the website. I'll post the article when it's ready. To be honest, I didn't want to come across as salesy, that's why I just shared the Google Docs for your feedback.
