Spending a little time everyday reading short articles and/or listening to French-language Francophone songs,podcasts, playing games in French, watching French-language Francophone television shows ,cartoons, etc. online, or watching part of a French-language Francophone movie on a regular basis will help improve your language skills dramatically. It will help you be able to think in French better each day.
