Buy French language tapes or borrow French language tapes from the public library. Public library media resource centers provide patrons with free language learning materials. Copies of language tapes may be borrowed for free. After you finish listening to a French language tape, you can return it for the next tape in the language series. If you do not want a library card that allows you to check out and remove items from the library, you can listen for free at the library's media center.
Listen to tapes while driving in your car, cleaning your house or doing other chores. Make use of your daily commute to and from work by listening to French language learning tapes. Cars that are five to 10 years old generally have a factory-installed cassette player. Newer cars have CD players. If your car does not have a cassette player, use a portable cassette player. The next time you are stuck in traffic, rather than become annoyed at the delay, use the time to listen to your French language tapes to help you learn to speak French.
Listen to tapes while walking, jogging, using the treadmill or in place of watching television. Plug headphones into a portable cassette player and listen to French language learning tapes while taking your daily walk or jog in the park. Using the treadmill, elliptical machine or stationary bicycle at home or the gym can be boring. Instead of watching television or listening to music to ward off boredom, listen to French language learning tapes. Use a portable cassette player and headphones at the gym.
