Any tips?
Please don't ask me to go to a French-speaking place or country because I can't affort it. But I already have grammar books, dictionary, the works.
Merci mes amis
=)

There are french chat rooms that you can go to to speak with french speakers. This will allow you to immerse yourself in the language with people who actually speak it. Go to www.dogpile.com and type in french speaking chat room. See what happens.

You can read 'comic books' («les bandes dessinées»). These don't have a *!** in common with Batman, etc., they are often very nearly literature, but can be for young people or (mostly...) for adults. The quality is often very high, and the effect on the reader's language use can be considerable. It can be like watching movies with exceptionally well-writen scripts, except that the learner can speed up or slow down his rate of absorption in function of his abilities.
You can buy these things on line, but the other difference with American 'comix' is that they are VERY expensive. Let me know if you are interested, and I can mail you some from the store at the University where I teach (I can get some for free or almost nothing). You'll need a good dictionary, Le Petit Robert is the best. Others are available on line.

Going to the native-speaking community can quite often hinder your progess! Go to www.antimoon.com for some fantastic advice. The site is mainly for English learners, but the methods and advice are spot on!
