How hard is it to learn French?

One of the benefits of learning French is that it is relatively easy for English speakers to learn, as both languages have a similar grammar and vocabulary (many words in French are derived from Latin and are similar to English). French is also a phonetic language, meaning that it is pronounced exactly as it is written, which can make it easier to learn to speak.

Most learners from English can master the French language with around 24-30 weeks of study.
