Duo lingo is free unless you want to get rid of ads.
Babel is offering free for life at $170.
Rosetta is about $150 per year.
I am crushing on Duo Lingo. Take THAT Julia and Phillip!

In reality I was just kidding, perhaps one DU poster suggested, listen to broadcasts that are in French, etc. Go to some Quebec online sites (in French), or perhaps some carib. islands that still speak French.
Its kind of the immersion therapy I've read about.

For example, 10% - is a great show, pretty easy to watch even for a beginner
