I learned most of my English watching TV/Movies and of course reading and speaking with others...but I think that when you watch people talking it it makes much more sense, you can see what they are doing, what they are feeling...
If you can't speak with french people on a daily basis, my recommendation would be adding to your reading, try renting some nice french movies and put it in the original version with subtitles so you can ear the people talking the language, I think it's the best way to learn it!

Faced with the equal obstacle I began with the Inspector Maigret reviews of Georges Simenon, and discovered them ultimate for the motive: directly ahead narration of now not-overcomplicated plots, with tons of dialog in contemporary colloquial French and of description. I made it a rule regularly to bet the that means of a brand new phrase and most effective appear it up after I had met it sufficient occasions for it to be rather bugging me. After studying sufficient of Simenon to have come to be conversant in his vocabulary and completed a few fair studying velocity, I modified to any one tougher (François Mauriac, because it occurred) and glued with him till I felt I had mastered him, and I then went directly to the classics (Maupassant, Flaubert, Stendhal, Balzac).
