LEARNING FRENCH 2 Each unit has been divided into manageable sections (2.l, 2.2. 2.3, etc.), so it· is a good idea to aim to do one oomplete section at a time, then slop to practise and learn the vocabulary. You will find !hat you can learn more e:ffedjvely in that way.

It also helps ii you can learn with someone ellse. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will give you an extra impetus to keep worlcing. Agree limes to meet and goals for the week. and test e 0 0 0 I .. 0 :g 0 0 &£ 0 ; .!t e > 0 0 ~ ~I 0 0 .,,.,, 0 ! > 0 l 0000 ... ~
