French words are easy because many are so similar to english. What messes me up is grammer and sentence structure and reading is okay but understanding what someone else says is difficult.
I spent a July in Montreal learning French at the University of Montreal from scratch as part of a paid program by the Quebec government (even gave us room and board in residence and a couple hundred bucks for food) but sadly, since it was Montreal, I drifted to speaking English all the time and partying. I did pick up a lot of basic concepts.
