“French Sucks” This has almost become a cliche in the high schools and universities that have french as a subject. Well, I was one of us too, just the last year, but then I discovered some small techniques and methods that has made me score excellent marks in French and I have improved so much that my French teacher herself asked me, “How did you do that?” Now I won’t take much of your time and give you these small methods that will help you get better marks or grades.

If You Are In The First Year French Class

This is the best time to improve yourself. Now the first thing that you have to do is… yes, impress your french teacher. I know this may be very difficult as you may hate your teacher more than anyone or maybe your teacher is strict beyond measure. But don’t worry, we’ll handle that too. Do this: go to yahoo answers or any online translator like google translator or yahoo translator and get some of these sentences translated in French. Like ‘Madam (or Sir), you teach french very nicely’. Or perhaps ‘Madam (or Sir) may I read the dialogue for the next class?’ or even ‘ French is a very beautiful language madam, and I am happy that you teach me french’. Then write them down in a piece of paper and memorize them. Then tell them to your teacher after the class. Tell her, mam, please talk in easy french so that I may learn in the process. If she asks you how did you come to know all this in french then tell your distant cousin or friend speaks french and you learned it from him. As for the pronounciation of the translated sentences, google this ‘ text to speech french’ and you’ll get the pronounciation of whatever you type in French. This good impression of yours on the teacher will ensure good grades in the oral tests.

Now come the worst part – the studying. Well there are basically just too things to study in french, the vocabulary, and the grammar. Vocabulary cand be done maybe through rote memorization, flash cards, etc. The flash games to learn vocabulary are totally worthless. Here’s a trick- learn 5 words every alternate days and repeat hem before going to sleep. E.G you learn 5 words starting today. Then day after tommorow you learn another 5 words, then that night before going to bed read the 10 words atleast thrice. Do this regularly till it becomes a habit. Then about the grammar, the first-year grammar is basically simple. Just try to learn up the conjugations nicely so that you remember it well. Start studying for french (grammar) 1 week before the exam everyday or 2 weeks before the exam every alternate day. Complete one topic in 2 days. Don’t worry, you’ll do it.

Now another headache- Homework. Well about the hoework, in the first year maybe you will just have to write some sentences in french or conjugate some verbs. Easy way out: Cheat. Yes, that is the only way of getting an A+. If the Homework is really difficult, go to the net, yahoo answers, and post up the sentences as questions. You will get an answer. DO NOT USE ONLINE TRANSLATORS FOR TRANSLATION. When the sentences are small, just post them as questions because online translators always have incorrect translations. As for the conjugations, search for an online conjugator and get your verb conjugated! As simple as that. And for the confusion of gender, use this simple trick: while learning the word, imagine the objict having a vagina ( for la) or a dick (for le). It really works! Imagine a table shaped like a vagina(or even breasts) for the french La Table. connect every thing with a vagina or a penis and use your imagination, let it go wild for a time and then come back. For the plurals, just learn up the rules. For essays or letters, do not search the net. They use extermely complicated french. Just go in yahoo answers, search for an essay, and if you dont get it, post a question asking for help writing the essay, give the topic and post.  DO NOT POST A QUESTION SAYING “WRITE AN ESSAY FOR ME”. You know no one is going to do that. Just be polite and do all this atleast a week before the exam or else you might not get any answers in a short time.  

Well then this was all. If you want me to write for the second or third year french, please leave a comment. You have any problem with french leave a comment and I’ll answer you without any fail
