You probably haven't been reading my moaning about being in an immersive Japanese class 6 hours a day, but you might want to go back through and see if there's anything useful in the study techniques I've mentioned. The Leitner-basedword-card system is working very well for memorizing vocabulary (and kanji, but you won't need that).
After four months of classes I still wasn't really talking. Recently I've managed to set up one-to-one language exchanges, and it has worked wonders. I don't know if you'll have any luck finding a French person who wants to exchange with you, but if you can do it then it's really great. Perhaps mylanguageexchange.com is worth a shot. I'd be interested to hear about it if you give it a try.
