l'été 2012

Have a great summer. Watch some DVDs in French (no subtitles), watch some French TV, listen to French music, travel to a francophone area (if you are lucky!) and speak French whenever possible, find French vocabulary games on the internet, read French books, magazines, newspapers. Keep up and learn more French. It's fun. 

It's ironic that I just wrote that all in English...

Ayez un été excellent!  Regardez des DVD en français (sans sous-titres), regardez la télé en français, écoutez la musique francophone, voyagez à une région francophone (si vous êtes chanceux!) et parlez français le plus que possible, trouvez les jeux français à l'internet, lisez les livres, les magazines, les journaux français.  Gardez et apprenez plus de français.  C'est amusant.
