Don't stay with foreigners... It's rather difficult at the beginings as French are not so welcoming, but, after a few time, you'll see they're truly enjoying... sometimes.

It also depends on where you'll be.

If you cannot afford the services of a renowned linguistics tutor, your ideal option would be to consider buying do-it-yourself language courses, followed by practical experience with native speakers. If you have French friends, this will be a lot easier pour vous-- not everyone in France will have the patience to educate the English foreigner on idioms and whatnot.

But if you find that these courses are not particularly engaging enough for you, in addition to reading and writing difficulties, then try out Michael Thomas.

The key to language learning is to make it fun and versatile while not being afraid to make errors here and there.

There are also language cd-roms that are pretty good. There you can pratice language and grammar.

there are many ways to learn french if you are really eager, there are websites that offers to teach the french language and there are a lot of books offering the same service.

But I guess it really is much effective to learn from a certain school or a certain tutor, and practising it on a french community.
