New Project

OK - my next resolution is to improve my French from rubbishy school girl to something I could have a half way decent conversation in. I plan to accomplish this in several ways, a couple of which I need help with ([livejournal.com profile] dotty, this means you).

  1. I still vaguely remember what the grammar rules are supposed to be but my vocab is lamentable. So number 1 is a word a day website of some kind - any recommendations?
  2. I remember being told that "the more you listen the more you learn" so I plan to try and listen to an hour or so a day of French radio - preferably the french equivalent of radio 4 (i.e. all talking) - again, recommendations?
  3. I'll never learn if I don't use it so I've created a new journal - [livejournal.com profile] tinyjo_francais which I'm going to write in french in (I'll have to work out how you get accents and stuff in). I'm going to try and add something to it at least once a fortnight - anyone who speaks french please come and correct my spelling and stuff :)

And if you can think of any other things I can do, suggest below...

Well, I plan to write so I ought to read as well. I used to have a copy of Asterix et le cadeaux du Cesar - I wonder what happended to that.

There must be some French livejournals I can read...

I have some French Asterix if you want to borrow them.
