@EnthusiasticStudent François Cheng ( fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Cheng ) was born in China, and was inrested in poetry , He went in France and translate important textes in China, wrote roman and poetry in French, and now he's a menber of "Académie française" ! As Kareen, I'm francophone, but I do not know grammatical rules (execpt the basic ones), I only have samples in mind, and my ears dectect automalicaly when phrases sound wrong.

See "Les auteurs et les interprètes" in (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanson_à_texte) to have in mind textes with music and remember how sentences works. they are so many ways to taste this language without ursins of grammars!

@cl-r Wow... I really like to understand French literature and poetry...

Thank you for your comment... In the new year, I will for sure start learning French language

and I will keep your advice in my mind

This is my plan: First I want to self study the alphabet and basic rules, numbers, etc...; then I want to attend a French language class

I hope that one day, I be able to understand French literature and poetry and speak this lovely language...

@EnthusiasticStudent Perhaps it will be a good thing to memoryse rules through samples and have gimmick like "les poules rousses ont des poulets roux" to understand basic words genders. You will be more understood if you construct good semantics sentences with some grammtical mistake than the reverse (good grammar (memory of rules), bad sentence's construction (poor ears's education) !

@EnthusiasticStudent And it will bi useful to be rapidely familiar with "transposition": an idiom in your mother language is not translated word by word in French but in another French idiom.

French is a latin language, and frenchies who learns latin learn first sample sentences.
