Reminder that spring will always come back, music will never stop being created, and there are still so many books left to read! You’re alive! You’re alive! You’re alive!

If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.

You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.

French Resources List

There are loads of resources on the internet but these are some great free ones I’ve found. Remember that absorbing the information in as many ways as possible is the most effective way to learn.

General

TV5Monde (the ‘Flash’ video is a great summary of the headlines)

French Disney Channel

Children’s stories and lessons

Current affairs

TV Episodes (a bit like ITV)

Tales of the Brother’s Grimm

Duolingo

Memrise

Busuu

Tenses tests

Languages Online (mostly grammar)

Conjugator

News articles

Get corrections on text

Free books

Peppa Pig

Disney songs

Youtubers

Cyprien (comedy)

Norman (comedy)

Natoo (comedy)

GoldenMoustache (comedy/short films)

SoAndy (fashion/makeup)

elsamakeup (fashion/makeup)

EnjoyPhoenix (fashion/makeup)

squeezie (gaming)

750 Grammes (food)

EasyFrench (interviews/documentary)

10 minutes a day can make a major difference with a language and watching Youtube videos is an easy way of getting in that extra time (with content that is actually interesting to you). These are just a few of the most popular so if you haven’t already, you should definitely check some out.

Music (some of these are Canadian/Belgian)

Stromae (hip hop/electronic/just damn good ignore the genre)

BB Brunes (pop punk)

Ycare (pop)

Coeur de Pirate (indie pop)

Maître Gims (rap)

MIKA (pop/let’s face it MIKA IS a genre)

Noir Désir (rock)

TAL (pop/R&B)

Kyo (rock/emo?)

Carla Bruni (acoustic pop/indie)

Élodie Frégé (pop)

Cali (pop/rock)

Second Sex (punk rock/pop punk)

Also known as the ‘I have no extra time but I want to up my marks in French’ hack. You can just put some music on in the background while you’re doing your History homework (added bonus - you won’t get distracted by the lyrics as much).

None of these work if you use them once for four hours and never again. It’s about building up your ability over a period of time. Ten minutes every day will save you a lot of stress during exam time.

I’ll be updating this so if you can recommend any others then please do!
