I'm currently learning French at the Uni, and I was wondering if there were any good hints/advices for learning French or any new language. Even though I'm bilingual, I've always had trouble trying to learn a new foreign language (English never felt like a second language to me). I've attempted French, Spanish, and Japanese. This is my second attempt at French, and I really would like to learn it for lots of reasons. The most motivating reason is that I couldn't get past the first year of grad school without a Western foreign language.

I think I'm doing well in my class, but it's only French 101. Any books people recommend to supplement the courses I will be taking? Should I read children's books? Help me out!
