Vocab:
- familiar places
- familiar activities
- likes + dislikes
- weather
- seasons & months of the year
Grammar:
- contractions with the preposition à
- forming questions
- subject-verb agreement (regular -ER verbs, faire, aller)

Culture:
- Quebecois French: What is a dialect? Who speaks French in Canada?
- How language shapes identity: What does it mean to be bilingual?
As always, my recommendation is to learn your vocab a little bit at a time, over time.
Questions, Connectors, Adverbs
Activities & Pastimes
Months, Seasons, the Weather
Familiar Places
Write the French term, draw an illustration of the meaning
Copy the term and definition 3x, alternating between cursive and print
Randomize your list of words, then sort them into categories by definition
Listen to the pronunciation, repeat the term aloud 3x, follow w/ the definition
Create a copy of all the English definitions, then fill in any/all French terms you remember. Make physical flashcards of all remaining words, or words you spelled incorrectly
Color code your words by some system that makes sense to you, either grammatically or by some shared meaning
Use the Look-Say-Cover-Write-Check method
Create sentences that contain multiple vocab words, then memorize the whole sentence
