Talking with a native French person will help you a lot. Apart from the Grammar, all languages have their own native phrases and proverbs etc. Plus There are several parts of a language like Written and Vocal. Fortunately, Languages like English and French don't use different sets of grammar for these. I have known a French person for 15 years and we talk daily. Now she can talk English well but I only know the basic and most often used French words. I think Youtube will help too. It has everything about anything. Also Watching Movies in French will help you to improve hear and understand the language when someone speaking it. Now if you have a busy person then there are lots of phone apps for this too. You can just open the app and learn something new where ever you have a bit of free time.

English is not my native language. I have started learning it when I was 5 years old but hadn't had an interest in it till I was 13. I love reading books. My town's library has a big children's section and a huge collection of English books. I wanted to read those Teen novels soo badly. Series like Secret Seven, Famous Five, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys etc. I joined the library when I was 12 and finished all the books in native language Children's books in 2 years. That's about 500-700 books. I started drooling on those English books. So first I borrowed a pair of Secret Seven books and started reading those with a dictionary. It took me like a whole day to read just 5 pages. I kept doing that like 6 years. Then suddenly I realized I don't need to look at dictionary like I used to be. After like one year I have started reading without a dictionary. I think the reason is my vocabulary got so big I didn't need to check the dictionary anymore. Good old days.
