Summary: A special grammar feature that the French language has is that different genders are assigned to adjectives, verbs, and nouns. This means that a single noun, verb, or adjective can have more than one form based on its gender. The different forms of adjectives, verbs, and nouns can also be determined by the genders of certain other parts of a sentence. This can include pronouns, articles, and sentence agreements. For those learning French, this would be considered a valuable grammatical topic to learn because most if not all words spoken and learned have a different form based on their genders

Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick.   “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the  New York Times  bestseller  Guitar Zero   At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered.   Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day.    This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day
