Hints for Studying French

When studying a foreign language, memorization is key. To help you memorize:
  • Make lists of new vocabulary and verb forms
  • Make and use flashcards for vocabulary and verb forms
  • Study lists and use flashcards every night
  • Go back and review old material often to get it into long-term memory
Other techniques that will also help:
  • Do your own homework
  • Get help from a friend or teacher but make sure you really understand
  • Listen to classmates' answers in class and try not to repeat their mistakes
  • Review and correct old quizzes and tests so you understand your mistakes
  • In class, don't zone out or fall asleep, don't write notes to friends, don't engage in conversation instead of doing classwork
  • Remember that your teacher is always willing to help you, but also that you can help yourself, too, by acting and doing right
