Did you know that the Russian Tsar Nikolai II had spoken at least three foreign languages besides Russian? He knew French, German and English, and his English was just perfect. Dutch was he knew a little bit worse.
You will say he was a Tsar. No doubts, the Russian Tsar gained an excellent education.
But there starts another interesting chain of facts concerning his language teacher, Maximilian Berlitz. I am not going to retell the whole Wiki article, 
but the Tsar got an outstanding teacher and I wanted to draw your attention to one really bright point about him. Mr. Berlitz developed an absolutely efficient technique for learning languages and it happened accidentally. How so? While being ill, Maximillian asked his friend to substitute him on French classes which were given to English-speaking students. What was his surprise after he went back to his work! Turned out that his kind French friend knew yet zero English words! Nevertheless he didn't refuse the request. So, he started to teach the language by pointing out objects and naming them in French. No English word sounded on those classes! After six weeks these students started speak French semi-fluently, which was absolutely unexpected and considered incredible! Yet, Berlitz was Berlitz, after that case he developed his technique, taught lots of students and eventually came to Tsar. :)
What is the main point of this story? We can learn from successful experience of others. There are lots of polyglots nowadays. Many of them kindly share their own "language-stories". Recently I found this amazing video (see below) which made me really impressed with the scale of the project and with its motivational influence. Hence, I started to read the book which was represented in the video and got a great desire to share all this stuff with you, friends. I wanted to let you know how successful you can be.
They managed, so can you!

Hi SAMA,
I am still reading The Polyglot Project, so your comment couldn't be belated. :)
I am happy to be helping if I can.
That's for sure you will find essential ideas for your future French project. I have already copied a certain number of quotes from this book. Besides, I would be happy to have a colleague in reading it! =)
You are definitely welcome, Expector Smith! =)
This book is worth reading indeed, for it includes the experience of living people willing to share their tips in learning specific languages. They gave their contact info and it's available in the book so that you can approach everyone of them.
Again, if you are not sure whether you are good at learning languages, this book will help you rise your confidence. As for me, it's apparent that your English is very good. :)
If I am allowed to suggest you some places regarding your interest in French, I'll offer you visiting busuu.com (my mark is "5 stars" for it) and Youtube channel of lsfrench.
May your language efforts be successful, Expector Smith!
