Moving to France in June, but I cannot speak French
Hey everyone,
I've been learning French since January (with a background in another latin language) and I'm moving to France in the middle of June. I have no issue understanding most French because I've been listening to native Podcasts for hours a day, and I can mostly understand anything I read, but I really really struggle with speaking. If you give me time to think, I'll probably be able to formulate a robotic answer, but oh my God I suck so bad and I don't know what to do about it!
I'm super anxious because I'm moving there soon and I need to be conversational/organic in my delivery, especially for job interviews... And at this point I feel like listening to Podcasts is just kind of useless? I need to "produce" more... What do you recommend me to do? I can spend as much as 6 hours per day to study and I was thinking of talking to an AI and trying to practice "chunks" of common sentences out loud, maybe even act some monologues, but other than that I'm not sure how to speed up the process and I cannot really afford a teacher right now...
Thank you!
