Making Language Classes Interesting

Learning a language is difficult, but it doesn't have to be boring. I studied French at school for seven years, but I cannot speak a word of French now. The problem with learning French was my classes, not the language. One problem was that our textbooks were too old and boring. The pictures were black and white, and the famous singers and movie stars had already died! We also wanted to learn about popular French culture and talk about our lives in French. Students do not want to memorize rules and vocabulary for an hour everyday and nothing else. The most important point is that classroom has to be interesting. Students need to play games, listen to music, watch movies and talk about them in the foreign language. Teachers need to make language classes useful and interesting if they want students to learn.
