You dont need a pal before you can speak french. French is one of the easiest language to understand, most especially if you can read and write English & Yoruba language it become more easy. You can get a lot of audio and text materials online, only dedication and ur determination will be the special requirement.
I never travel outside Nigeria before I learn my french, but now I can boldly say "I can't get lost in ANY FRANCO environment including Paris."
Presently, I am learning German, althought I am into Engineering field. Learning for me is like a fun.

Note after all your learning, you can start listening to News in french e.g rfi & L'afrique numero un, both on SW radio, etc. But, if you can get enough audio materials it will help you a lot.

For your mind?, french is not all that easy because it is not translated straight from English, and every noun must have a masculine or feminine attached to it though it is an interesting language to learn,
Spanish and Italian are very easy.

I find french difficult at a start, But now, I know french is not difficult.

iice:

Easy ke. . .when pronunciation and spelling don't match.
When did Yoruba come to be like french?


Chaiii

French pronunciation of most of his syllable and yoruba syllable are just the same!, ask anyone who understand Yoruba Language(at academic level) and did French at advance level.

You maybe right that french is not that easy (only at start), but when you know french then you will know it is easy. To me french is easier than English, because french follows same rule except for few occassion, we only see English as easy because we were all born into english-environment.

I have not try learning spanish or italian, but I the two language must be easy too. When my German reach proficiency level, I may give Spanish a try 'cos of large speaking spanish commuinty in southern-america.

easier than English? french? well, thats your opinion.
as for spanish and italian, you can study it on your own if you've got the materials (their dictionary e.t.c),
because you can write a sentence in english and translate it directly with the aid of the dictionary but you can never ever do so with french. don't worry by the time you go for spanish or italian lesons the yu would understand better.
Tu comprehends?[s][/s]
j'aime beacoup francaise pourqui c'est defacile![s][/s]
(hope i got it right coz it's been long meeen)

[size=8pt][size=8pt][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][size=8pt]hey guys, thanks for your comments,
@soft touch, I have tried learning it online but just keep stopping
at some point, meanwhile I think is better to have a teacher kind of for these things
such as language learning to work out.[/font][/font][/size][/size][/size]

We learn at different space and speed, My former tutor once told me years back (She did French at University level) that only way to LEARN FASTER is to live around the people that speak the language. Hence, She normally travel to Cote d'Ivoire and Togo during holidays and Nigerian strikes (around 1993, aftermath of June 12) to develop her accent. Since after her NYSC she has been living in & out of West-Africa francos, now she speaks french like French Journalist.
Depending on ur work schedule, you might start giving it a try.
Or Get register at a certified french study center, we have one in Ibadan and Badagry (Lagos), you can easily have a nice hook-up pal most especially at Badagry Center
