Before traveling, try to acquire some French bases

If you do not master the language of Verne or Victor Hugo, if you do not even have a small base, you have to put the batteries! Here are some tips to familiarize yourself with French before fully immersing yourself in a language holiday.
Find a way to listen to the language: music, movies in original version, radio, Internet blogs …
Write some vocabulary cards in French, grammar or important notions or courtesy formulas and common expressions: Bonjour, Ça va ?, S’il vous plaît, Pouvez vous m’aider ?, Je ne vous comprends pas… This is how you will develop the oral expression and you will learn vocabulary in French.
Get a book with thematic lists: you don’t have to focus on French conjugation or excessively complicated terms.
You can learn French online! Which is also free. Search for “free French courses”, “learn French online”, “French language courses”, “learn French for free” in the Internet search engine and you will find a great number of suggestions. Download a free application on your mobile to start speaking French before facing native speakers.
Choose a private teacher to give you French classes before leaving Spain. Opt for an online platform like Superprof instead of a private school support agency that requires expensive and regular payments. Why don’t you get in touch with a native or bilingual teacher, for example?
