Most of my students want to complement their French lessons with activities online so I have compiled a list of exercise sites, video channels, disctionaries and other resources which serve as excellent complementary tools to accompany you in your French journey.
1. Français facile: This website explains various grammatical concepts in a simple way with examples, videos and audio files. It includes multiple choice activities with a correction to practise concepts you learn in class.
2. Podcast français facile: dialogues, texts, phonetics, grammar, videos, this site is a wealth of resources.
3. Learn French with Alexa: Alexa has an excellent channel on YouTube where you can review the alphabet, numbers, verb conjugations, vocabulary, grammar and more, all with the oh-so-French tune of the accordeon!
4. The news in français facile: If you like to follow the news and want to do it French, Radio France Internationale (RFI) has an option to do it easy French. If you have an intermediate level and want to listen to what's going on in the world in slower French, this is the perfect solution.
5. Learn French with TV5: TV5 Monde is a French channel with programmes from France, Quebec, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg which also helps you learn and practise French at different level with news videos, articles and other resources aiming at reading and listening comprehension.
6. Online dictionary: Never use Google translate to write texts or your French homework! It's important to understand whether the word you want to use is a noun, an adjective or a verb and it's important to figure out the context first. Wordreference is a great tool because it has an online forum with people exchanging views that provide much-needed nuance! What's more, it has a lot more language than just French and English.
7. Type in French: Want to write in French but don't have accents on your keyboard? Don't fret, you can use this website to insert accents or type your whole text, copy and paste it into your document.
Voilà! I hope this list of resources is useful to you and helps you along in your French journey!
