Practice Flashcards
Spend some time each day going through these flashcards. If you can speak the French words when you see them, it will help your memory. If you are unsure of pronunciation, you can click on the Listen button. The Practice button lets you record your voice and will give you some basic feedback, although this is optional at this point. Here are what the other buttons do:
- Click anywhere on the card to reveal the other side.
- Advance forward and back using the arrows.
- Click the star on any cards you want to practice at the end of the set (such as words difficult to remember).
- The shuffle button will randomize the card order.
