Reading

It is recommended to read for pleasure in French.  However, you should ensure that what you read is not too advanced, as this could prove to be demotivating and very time-consuming.

Some suggestions:

Astérix & Obélix comic books (French versions – Available at online bookshops)

Le Petit Prince (a classic French children’s book) – Available at online bookshops

Les Schtroumpfs (The Smurfs) comic books – Available at online bookshops

 

Another idea (and one that is very beneficial) is to watch your favourite films in French with French subtitles on.  Many streaming sites will allow you to do this and it helps when you already know a film well.

 

We also have a limited number of French films and books in the department.  Just speak to your French teacher to see what is available.
