Language Guide

French

French is structure + accuracy + consistency. You improve fastest by doing a little every day (not cramming).

High score rule: Build templates for speaking + writing so you always have a “safe structure” under time.

Core Skills to Train

Vocabulary

  • 10–15 new words/day.
  • Topic-based lists (school, health, tech).
  • Use words in sentences, not alone.

Grammar

  • Master present → past → future.
  • Common connectors: cependant, donc, pourtant.
  • Agreement rules (gender/plural).

Fluency

  • Daily listening (10 min).
  • Shadow speaking (repeat out loud).
  • Practice “filler phrases” to sound natural.

Best Study Method (French)

  • Daily: vocab + 5-minute speaking practice.
  • 3x/week: 1 writing task (short paragraph).
  • Weekly: 1 listening practice + summary in French.
  • Correction: keep a “mistake list” (spelling/grammar).

Quick Writing Template

  • Intro: opinion + why.
  • Point 1: example + explanation.
  • Point 2: contrasting view + response.
  • Conclusion: restate + final idea.
Use connectors: Premièrement, De plus, Cependant, En conclusion.
