The easiest way to learn the French language is with the official study course. To help speed up your fluency in French is to emerge yourself with the French culture. A good way to do this is to watch French movies and television shows.
Also listening to French music will help tremendously. Taking the time to listen to native French speakers will help you improve on pronunciation. I wouldn't necessarily say that it's better to learn in school, but I would say it's better to learn with an instructor.
That instructor could be a schoolteacher, a nativist French speaker or a tutor. The reason why it's best to have an instructor is they can give you feedback and help you improve in areas that you may be struggling in. There are a lot of great online programs to learn the French language.
Below are three websites that all offer free French language courses. http://www.bonjour.com/ http://www.frenchassistant.com/ http://www.livemocha.com/learn-french.
