Hi, i’m currently a junior in high school and looking for resources that are helpful to prepare for the AP french exam. Our French teacher has been gone for most of the year due to illness, and most likely won’t be coming back, so we are pretty much on our own. In addition to that, I’m one of the many juniors who skipped taking the french 3 honors course to go directly into AP. I feel that i’ve fallen behind on my skills, and at this point my classmates and I are wondering if we have any chance of passing the exam at all. I intend to take the exam anyways, since I am only taking one other AP course this year. Grammar and audio are both skills I need more practice with. I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of any online resources that are good for practice, or methods. Also, if anyone knows any suggestions/tips for studying for le grand concours, that would be great too. Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Read le parisien, French pages + le monde campus + l’étudiant. 10mn every day for each student in the class, then present in English a 1 or 2 mn report of what you’ve learned. All students take notes and then write a complete report in French for one of the presentations, checking with the original article, and bringing it to the original presenter for accuracy. Then all students have a copy. You can send this to your teacher at home perhaps? (Check/ask). Alternatively you can then choose an article and discuss it in groups of 2-3, in French.
Watch French shows - Black spot, The mantis (Amazon prime) and/or Plus Belle la Vie (a soap). You can watch as a class and discuss in French.
If your school or someone has access to TV5Monde there are tons of programs.
You can read through English grammar for learners of French (not the exact title - highlights the main differences between French and English, especially the pitfalls).
Read 60 million Frenchmen can’t be wrong and The bonjour effectivement by Barlow/Nadeau. Tie to your daily newspaper readings.
Write one page essays comparing a French cultural element to its American equivalent.
Look into Quebec and West African history. Read short stories from Senegal, Ivory coast, Morocco, Tunisia, and Canada.
Ask for advice from your teacher -s/he may have ideas about what you should do when you’re on your own. (S/he probably has NOT chosen to be bedridden 
)
Thanks! I’ll let the other students in my class know
I am not sure how much this will help you study for the AP test, but if you are learning French and if you have netflix, then you might want to watch “Gad Gone Wild”. It is hilarious, and in French.

@DadTwoGirls Thanks! I’ll check it out
@MYOS1634 Thank you so much!
@ucbalumnus Thank you!
Did you try some of these today?
@MYOS1634 Yes i’ve been reading the french articles and watching the show of amazon. The articles are really helping me with the vocab so far, and watching the show had made the audio practice a lot easier. I will watch and read some more things this weekend. 60 million Frenchmen can’t be wrong seems like it would be really good for the cultural comparisons and such, so I hope to start that one this week. Thank you so much!
Good job.
