I have decided to learn some more French. By myself like, I reckon that about half an hour very evening should sort me out. I have an 'A', in GCSE, mind. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, probably just read and try to write out translations. Maybe learn a few verb conjugations. Advice on how I can teach myself more French would be appreciated.

Alternative focus: what laughably misguided attempts at self-improvement have you undertaken?
