Bonjour,

With being in our 4th week, some of you may want to start or continue working on some French :) 

Here are the at home suggestions I have that would be able to help work on your french skills;

- https://www.duolingo.com/course/fr/en/Learn-French (this is a great site that allows you to work on your speaking and listening skills)

- https://fr.lyricstraining.com/fr/ (this is the french music website that we would use in class, this also works on your listening skills)

- Watch a tv show, movie that you like (on Netflix or Disney+ for example) or even a youtube video in French. You can put on the subtitles in order to help you see the words as well. The goal is not understand every single thing but the gist of what has been said (by also using the visuals to help). It may be a good idea to start by only watching 10-20 minutes at a time and not want to watch the entire show or movie so you do not overwhelm yourself. 

- Try to talk in French with a family member or classmate (perhaps on the phone) if possible. 

These may seem difficult and challenging at first, but remember what I would say in the classroom. The only way to learn and acquire a new language is to be exposed to it and to practice using it. :)
