What are effective techniques for maintaining French language progress after 90 days

Effective techniques for maintaining French language progress after 90 days include consistent practice, immersion, and varied learning strategies. Key approaches involve daily exposure to the language through reading, speaking, listening, and writing; engaging with native speakers or language communities; using spaced repetition systems for vocabulary retention; and incorporating multimedia resources like films, podcasts, and music. Additionally, immersion programs or intensive home immersion experiences have been shown to boost motivation and continued study beyond initial learning phases. Tailoring study with systematic approaches such as keyword techniques for vocabulary and regular revision also enhances retention. Lastly, maintaining motivation and setting new goals helps sustain progress over the long term. ^{1, 2, 3}
