Tips to increase your vocabulary in French

• Twitter - mot du jour
• films - no subtitles, pay close attention to words, not just overall gist
• homework - fill in blanks, etc. - Read and understand the sentences.  Don't just mechanically fill in the correct form of the verb or adjective or whatever.
• Read - books, articles, magazines, comic books, newspapers, interesting web sites

Websites to help with writing French correctly

WordReference on-line dictionary . There are games and a verb conjugator available on that site and it is also available as a free app. Other good tools are Linguee on-line dictionary (good for expressions) , Le grand dictionnaire & Bescherelle (verb conjugations).
