Andrew_Larigo Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I am considering moving to France around June/July 2010. I have no fixed plans or abode 'exactement'...but hope to pick up where I left off 8 years ago when I was a Stagiaire (& should have stayed...)My 'local French' is rusty to say the least and apart from picking up some books I have, what would suggestions be as to reacquaint myself with the lingo. Considering I have missed the college terms...Merçi à Tous.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissie Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Get a satellite which will pick up French tv + get in touch with your local college to ask if they have a French assistant/e - and ask if they would like to give private lessons.

Cendrillon Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Try watching French films on DVD but don't be tempted to use subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissie Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 A good idea to watch films and read books you have already seen/read in English - that way you don't panic about the odd unknown word as you know the storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Larigo Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks for suggestions...I have some films in French & Yes with subtitles but I can take them off. I found that when I first went to France I watched TV with subtitles but in French. Reading the French subtitles helped me to listen to the words...& I know of a Tutor whom could help...Thanks again, all appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 HiI was referring to English subtitles.You could also buy a French newspaper from time to time and read that. Le Monde might be a bit taxing but you could try Le Figaro.Bon courage[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
