I use the Espresso books for learning Italian. Does anyone know of a similar scheme in French?

My #Italian learning has been going well generally. I can understand most of the TV/radio, can read a book and can write. BUT I cannot speak - I attend lessons online and fail to get my words out. I have no idea where I can practice speaking. Any help appreciated.

I love the ‘false friends’ in Italian. My mother is fastidious Mia mamma è esigente Mia mamma è fastidiosa My mum is annoying. There is a link between fastidious and annoying but only as a source of irritation.

I'm really enjoying the EDX Italian course. I've been learning for a while but not known why certain seemingly random exceptions and rules exist. Now I'm getting a context it is easier to remember. The clothes have coat hangers on which to sit.

I wonder if I needed the rote learning to be able to achieve this new understanding.
Anyone know of an Icelandic language course #langtwt
