You can only get so far from books and audio courses. I’d recommend an evening class as then you’ll be able to practise with other people the same level as you.
Then when you get the chance, spend some time in a French speaking country, as the only way to properly learn the language is to immerse yourself in it in situations where you won’t just default to speaking English.

Ben D is correct – you can only get so far, doing it by yourself, I love french I think it is a romantic language but when I was learning I did it in night school (which one day I will go back to) because not only do you have a tutor to correct your errors and pronunciation of some of the words but you can practise it on class mates. If you learn a language it is important that you verbalise it to other people so that you can hear how you say a word and how they say the same word back to you. It is important to practise speaking to other people in the language because then that way when you go to France and ask for a table at a restaurant you can be assured that you are not asking for where the nearest launderette is by mistake.
Enjoy it – French is brilliant!
