I listen to French music! Not sure if it helps though?! I do Spanish aswell and imo French is just a much harder language to understand in terms of listening
:angry:

Good luck in the exam I'm sure we'll be fine :tongue:

Dont worry we got this! We're going to go into this ****ing exam and smash ittttt!! Leave aqa baffled as to how every candidate has gotten a* hahahaha!!! Remember although words seem similar or sound similar to english not always it is what it is in english! Also, for the listening use the 5 minutes wisely - write notes during the 5 minutes! We got thisssss

Additionally, do not over do it with the past papers....it si unlikely that the questiosn will be the same though they might be similar but instead learn key vocabulary that way you will be able to answer the questions because the Specifications for all exam boards mention how the lostening consists of BS ypu dont need to actually understand ..

Any kind of vocab you think might come up, for example if there's a question about the environment write down any key words you remember to get your memory working ie. Deboisement, inondation
You can write anywhere on the paper in the first five free minutes

2 days guys -_-

I am SOOO nervous!! :s
