French on the Internet
Ok, so all of these won't be fun but I got your attention, n'est-ce pas? Some of these links are to web sites that we have used in class where you can practice vocabulary, grammar and listening. Some of the links are to web sites where you can challenege yourself and move beyond what we are doing in class. And, bien sur, some of the links are to songs and videos that you have enjoyed in class. Amusez-vous!
