Materials

It is important to take care of the jotters, vocabulary sheets and any other materials you are given out. Whatever stage you are at, you will be expected to build upon your existing knowledge of French.

If you are in Standard Grade, keep in mind that you will be examined on topics from S3 and S4. Work from previous years is often a good starting point when you come across a similar topic that goes in to more detail.

Pupils in S5 and S6 are asked to come to all classes equipped with the following:

- their USB key
- a French-English dictionary
- a notebook to keep extra notes on grammar and vocab

Grammar

If you're not feeling confident about your grammar, it might just be a case of looking at it from a different perspective. Try looking at the following sites for alternate explanations and the chance to practise through interactive exercises.

I know you'll be glued to these sites this weekend :-)
