French One & Two

Practice the basis of conversation and presentation.

Listening and speaking are arguably the most common ways to interact in a language. After all, think about
how much time you spend every day speaking or listening - every conversation, lecture, YouTube video, song, etc.
is based on one or both of these skills. No one asks "do you write French?" No, we want to know if you speak 
French. So let's learn how to do exactly that!

A few reminders:
1) You may not understand everything that is said, especially on the authentic exercises. That's okay! You're not expected to. Focus on understanding what you can and finding the answers to the questions give; if you spend too much time panicking because you didn't understand that one word at the beginning, you'll miss everything that comes after it too!

2) Listen as many times as you need to. There's no shame in having to hear something more than once to understand it, especially when you're still learning the language.
3) Listen to as much French as you can, in as many ways as you can. Put on some French music while you're doing your homework. Watch some funny French cat videos on YouTube. Even if it's not the main focus of your time, it will help develop your listening skills. Don't know where to find any French to listen to?
