Everyone learns from making errors. Take advantage of opportunities on campus to expose yourself to French and Francophone language and culture. To help you learn vocabulary, use small, portable flash cards rather than long lists of words. Make an effort to use the words you have learned so that they become familiar to you. Incorporate these new words into your class participation, portfolio assignments and compositions.
Language builds on itself, so keep up with the work.
Stay active during class by mentally responding to every question posed in the classroom. This activity will give you some useful practice and positive reinforcement. The tape program is an important part of French F200, as it can help you to improve your listening comprehension in French. Plan to spend at least 2 hours working on the tape from each unit. Don't be afraid to frequently pause and replay sections of the tapes.
