Revision tips for French

Learn your speaking questions answers by heart. Try to learn two a week and get someone at home to test you on the answers.

Break up your learning so that you do it little and often.

When doing French revision, make sure that you do not just sit reading your book, make sure that you do activities which practice using the language such as fill-in-the-blanks and comprehension activities.
