If you want to learn the basic grammatical terminology in English, you can simply type, for instance, infinitive into this very trusted dictionary, and you will thus be able to read a very simple explanation of the term you’ve been looking for.
Another site which explains, in very accessible terms, words such as infinitive, is this self-titled glossary.
Moving on to French, this online grammatical compendium may be the best starting point for any beginning learner like you.
And, of course, this site, where you will always have a decent explanation for everything else.
I like french.about.com, but I prefer using a French grammar book. I propose 2 books which I use everyday along with my main Café crème textbook.
C’est tout.
If you need a grammar-based approach without too many phrases such as “personal pronouns” or “infinitive” without reminder of what it is, then try:
- http://sapaacademy.net/french-lesson-1 (online learning portal that I’m building)
Lessons build on each other, and have:
- explanations
- audio
- practice texts
Give it a go.
Other sites based on “gamification” are: bussu.com, babbel.com, duolingo.com.
For flashcards I HIGHLY recommend quizlet.com.
Good luck! Learning a language is a long journey 🙂 Enjoy it, don’t force yourself!
