learning french

I have gone back to learning French, reading---I think the more I read it, and reconginze the various words and listening to the words while watching french tv, I can learn the right prounacations to the words. I am teaching myself French because I beleive that it's something that will really help me, and it's something I can do on my own. I will probably never sound like French native, but at the least, I want to be able to understand the language, I'm getting there, and learn how to read it. I have always loved learning French, and now that I am not under any pressure to learn it-----It is just something that I want to do. Mornings and afternoons, mostly afternoons, are when I watch the French channel, because of the game shows, I learn a lot of French from watching game shows.
