>>7283628Avoid Duolingo, its worthless. I know this sound painful and all but literally pick up a grammar book, a dictionary, some literature, and if you need a hand to hold, find some college-level textbook that babbies you through. The common people will say "lol just immerse :)" but if you want results fast and if you're smart, grammar +vocab learning pronto.
Big thing in french is the irregular verbs. There's about 100 of them and they're among the 500 most used verbs. In fact the top 20 most used verbs are highly irregular. Learning all (including literary) tenses/moods/cases ASAP for être, avoir, aller, voir, mettre, venir, tenir, faire, etc. So that they're second nature will increase your fluency greatly.
I can tell you what grammar book I'm using now tomorrow, I'm almost sleeping and don't feel like looking in my backpack. I found it at my uni library, along my with literary Chinese and Latin books (since my frenchis self-propellant, mwaning i can just learn from reading more and frequently, I have time for full-on Latin and a dip into classical Chinese)
Use anki only for words you come across in books or whatever that you know you'll see infrequently enough to constantly forget them. Duolingo is trash, I did 3 years of french in high school and finished the entire french tree in like a week. It's awful
