Keni Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've just started a French Language Course with OU (L120) and bearing in mind I'm nearly 56, it was a few years ago I left school.I have been at evening college studying French, but I am having the devil of a job trying to remember the verbs/endings/ past, future and the rest - has anyone got a table/ easy reference to try to help me remember verbs etc? Many thanks.Keni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert the InfoGipsy Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have in front of me a little (shirt pocket size) book called 'French Verbs' from the old Brockhampton Press. I think its latest incarnation is this:http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/chambers/books/bilingual/french_verbs.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I swear by l'art de conjuguer by Bescherelle, for the definitive verb book it is very small but wont fit in your shirt pocket.I have an ISBN number but mine is 30 years old -ISBN 2 - 218 - 04889 - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard51 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 We also use Bescherelle. Bescherelle's website has an online verb conjugator but this is also a good resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi Keni,I did the same course (Bon Depart?) a couple of years ago and ran it alongside Michel Thomas. I can still hear Michel loud and clear in my head when I'm trying to sort out my verbs. You have to ignore his accent and some people find his two students a bit annoying but for me it helped immensely as I was a complete beginner to the french language (I was 52 went I started!). I would have struggled with the OU on it's own and found that there was only two of us at the monthly tutorials that were actually beginners, the rest (about 14 of us) of the group admitted they knew some french and it was an easy year option for them to gain some more credits towards their degree and so the two of us were embarrassed to ask questions. That said, a very good course to do.Bon Chance, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
