hi there!!

Question

I am looking for a number of good websites to practice my french on... mainly on the verbs and tense, so any sites with quizzs (with answers) would be great!

oh and i am having my french exam in a week;written,comprehension, listening, and oral. um i am not good at listening(they talk too fast...) and i always get my verbs and tense mix up when i am at a interview...the exam is mainly on describing my house, about my family, my town, time, describing someone(clothing, eyes, hair, height etc.), and daily routine. anyone have any good suggestion or websites they think will help me out?

thanks so much!!

Bonjour, Pauline! Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Unfortunately, not knowing the level of French you are currently studying, it is much more difficult to find the sites to help you best. If you ask specifically for something (be it grammar, verbs, vocabulary) I can help you better with exercises. However, you don't get to see the exercises until after you do the exercises! Here are some things to get you started:

1. (Broken Link Removed) (Slide way down to "The French Language."

2. http://www.utm.edu/staff/globeg/gramm.shtml (easier to find grammar specific things here)

3. http://french.about.com/library/pronunciation/bl-audiodico.htm (with the Audio Dictionary, pick a letter of the alphabet, see the words associated with it, and depending upon your software listen to the pronunciation)

4. http://french.about.com/cs/beginning1/a/begin.htm (This is for beginning French, but slide down on the right-hand side to "Learn French."

5. http://www.verbix.com/languages/french.shtml (verb specific)

Although I've tried 3 times to get the fun game site for you, sorting out word order, it freezes my computer so I'll try one more time a a P.S.!

P.S. French Unscramble

PPS: Listening Comprehension. Try to NOT let your mind stop the second you don't understand/hear a word. Then you'll miss the rest of it. Force yourself to listen to get a sense of "who, what, why, etc." The AP exam used to say something only once but fortunately they now say it twice. If you are fortunate enough to hear it twice, fill in the blank/s the 2nd time. When my students used to say "you speak to fast" I told them "you listen too slowly!" The more practice you can get with "listening comprehension" the better. Bonnw chance!
