French as a second language is becoming increasingly important in the business world. Students who are being exposed to the language have more advantages than students who have not been exposed at an early age.
There are many tools to help students, and parents, to learn this popular language. At the beginning of the year, students were given a list of websites to help them with French phonics, pronunciation as well as vocabulary. Many students have taken advantage of these tools and they have been using them regularly. It is encouraging to see how excited they are when they share the experiences they’ve had with the French games and the French phonics videos at home.
It is important that students, who learn French as a second language, use French frequently in their daily activities at home and in school. This will not only help them to strengthen their knowledge and understanding of the language, but it will also help them to build their confidence and fluency in using the language.
Students and parents are strongly encouraged to use these websites as often as possible. Following, you will find some effective websites that have been beneficial for our students.
