French Resources
Every day activities that encourage French-language development:
- Read in French regularly at home (see below for electronic options if needed)
- keep a French journal (some creative ideas: write a letter to a friend at school, create a list of favorites, write a story set in the future, create a comic strip, create a crossword/word search about a certain topic, make graphs or write out math problems, translate a favorite song into French, etc)
- find opportunities for speaking French with siblings or parents if possible
- put French subtitles or dubbing on movies/TV Shows/YouTube
- speak on the phone in French or send messages to friends (texts, social media) in French
- listen to French music on streaming services (look for French playlists) or FM radio 105.7
- use language learning apps to learn new vocabulary (for ex: Duolingo), play online French games, etc…
