I've started French only recently and have some moderate success at reading it. I read on-line French newspapers to practice. I also have used Rosetta Stone, but that damned CD-ROM runs so much I think I wore one of my drives out. I can't follow spoken French hardly at all yet, and I'm not very good at speaking or writing. My goal is to at least be able to comprehend the written language well.
When I hear French spoken, I tend to only pick up a few words here and there, and by the time I've sorted it out in my head, 5 more words have flown by that I missed. I'm trying to get to the point where I am thinking in French, not just trying to translate it on the fly.
