CfE Higher French 2017/18

Do you have any recommendations on any books to purchase or where to buy notes

Hey Oliviaerinhughes!

Last year, we used the BrightRED CfE Higher French Study Guide and Leckie & Leckie CfE Higher French Success Guide. They were quite useful, I think. We didn't use this book as much, but the How to Pass Higher French for CfE by Douglas Angus is supposed to be quite good too.

If you don't yet have a French dictionary of your own, I recommend the Collins French Dictionary with Grammar (the blue and yellow or blue and red one). The middle section is good at helping with formulating phrases.

Also, our teacher gave us lots of her own homemade materials, and they are what we used the bulk of the time alongside the textbooks I've mentioned.

That's about it. If I see something else useful, I'll come back here and let you all know.

Bonne chance!

What does everyone predict the personal response essay (after listening) will be on?

Can anybody tell me how to answer that second last question? The two marker about understanding the passage.

my teacher says think of it like an english close reading question, quote the main ideas the question asks for in french and translate them so its like statement quote analysis response and do at least two

that’s so annoying 😭😭 i dropped english asap, no wonder I can never answer the last question hahhaha
