Mr Winston and Mrs McNulty have used these maps with their year 9 French GCSE groups to show some more detail about the geography of France. Unfortunately only the first 5 maps linked still work, but they are fantastic.
Interested? Have a look by clicking this link.
We recently found a fantastic website, where you can listen to French pop songs and do very simple online exercises linked to them.
Several classes (especially Mr. Winston's year 10 french class!) have been on the site, and were surprised at how much they enjoyed it.
If you want to take a look at the website, click this link... here.
These two online dictionaries are the best ones we in the Languages department have found so far. Use them carefully when you have extended pieces of writing to do. Year 10 may want to use them when they are preparing for assessments.
For French, go to www.wordreference.com/enfr
For German, go to dict.leo.org
Remember, these are dictionaries, not translators. You can use them to look up individual words, not translate entire pieces of writing.
Year 10 must also remember that you are not allowed to use any online translators for your work, and your languages teacher(s) WILL be able to tell! You are, however, permitted to use these dictionaries to help you.
If you know of a better online dictionary (NOT translator!), then please let us know by leaving a comment and we will have a look at it.
Here are some really good languages websites - use them for revision, or just for fun! Just click the links below to be taken directly to the site.
