WATCH
1: Watch a French film or series in French.
Suggestions on Netflix:
- Lupin (cert15) French series about a gentleman thief.
- Plan Coeur (cert15) French serie. Comedy romantic
- Les Miserables (cert15) French film about the clashes between the inner cities in Paris and the police. Highly recommended as you will be studying a film with similar themes.
I am sure you can access other websites where you can find French films or series.
2: Rewatch a film or series in French
It can be an English spoken film or series but turn the audio and subtitles in French!
3: YouTube: Piece of French channel
My favourite French Youtuber.
Piece of French is a very good YouTube channel to watch and listen to about different French topics.
Easy to follow as she speaks slowly and subtitles in French. You can always slow down or change subtitles into English.
