Bonjour!
So you want to learn French, weather you are in France at home, there is a variety of ways to learn.
Struggling with learning the language for the last several months, I can share with you different sources and methods to learn French in no time (well yeah ok its going to take some time).
French is not an easy language to learn, but it sure has a nice ring to it!
I do recommend learning at least basic French before coming to France.
You can find tons of help online, from French learning software and websites.
Click here to go to my post about French learning websites and software.
While offline you have many options of French learning books.
My list of recommended French learning books
I think the most important thing while learning is to practice what you learn, If you dont practice with other French speakers you might just end up coming to France and find you are speaking another language!
There are several ways to practice your French without knowing a single French.
First one is finding a language exchange group or a pen pal.
To find a language exchange group I recommend you start looking at websites like
www.couchsurfing.org Over there just go in groups go to your home town, and find the language exchange group, if there is no french exchange, make a post and try to find it.

Pen pals are more ideal of you live in the compagne (Countryside) and you can easly find some through,
