I must admit that one can learn a lot in 5 months, even if one just listens to the teacher during the lessons. You learn most when you need to cope with daily situations.

If you are a student than you can get a grant for your appartement. This is called dossier de demande d' APL. It is worth it.

Personal comments
Accommodation are quite expensive, especially if you want to live in a furnished room. Here, student residences are common, the advantages are the metro and bus access and the fact that you get to know a lot of people, but they are situated a bit outside the center.
