| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) |
After each class, students should review the lesson that was studied during the class from their textbook or their personal notes, memorize the vocabulary and phrases (individually or as a study group), listen again to the audio tracks used during the class and practice pronunciation. It takes about 2 hours. At the end of each class, the teacher will ask the students to read 2-3 pages from the textbook,translate and memorize new words from those pages for the next class.It takes 1 or 2 hours. It's best to do at least 15 minutes of French everyday (reading out loud, listening audio tracks, watching some video in French with subtitles) to make some real progress. |
