Travel all over France, concise French course, French in Beijing, taxis and original French textbooks. I strongly object to beginners traveling all over France. If you start using it, it will only waste time, because there are few phonetic parts, which are simple and grammatical. For China people, it is recommended to use concise French courses for self-study. Beiwai is too tedious, while the simplified method is moderate in length and suitable for self-study.
