Any advice on a level French?

Hiya, I'm doing French at A2 so don't hesitate to AMA

It's as hard as any other A-Level, don't let anyone put you off by saying it's impossibly hard bc it isn't. As long as you love the subject and want to do well in it, you will

As for tips I think the most important is grammar; it's not like GCSE where you'll get away with kinda knowing a certain tense but not really being able to construct it

Good luck with your studies!

Thank you!

How did you revise grammar? And what did you get at AS if you don't mind me asking?

I got A at AS

As for revising, I think it's more important that you 100% understand the tense or whatever grammar it is in the first place. Like you should know it inside out, and then just try your best to incorporate varied tenses and structures in your writing. Then as your teacher marks your work and corrects any mistakes you'll know your weaknesses and how to improve in the future

That's amazing omg

And that actually helps a lot, thank you so much good luck in A2!

Definitely go for it! I did French, German and Spanish and loved them all. Verb tables are a great way to revise the grammar side! Try and use the subjunctive regularly too and know a few synonyms

I've just finished my French A Level and loved it.

4 basic tips I would give are:

- Use impersonal expressions - in particular 'il s'agit de' and 'il faut' - In doing so you sound more French and 'il faut' can be turned into a subjunctive by making it 'il faut que'
- Don't obfuscate - from what I've seen and read, the best French is simple, and too many people when asked to write a response simply look for posh sounding expressions (my least favourite being 'la premiere constatation qui s'impose', etc.) because they believe it enhances the quality of their work - it doesn't and makes it sound too over the top and un-french. Moreover, try to not go overboard with the subjunctive. If used too often it makes you sound pompous. I basically limited myself to 'bien que', 'pour que' and 'il faut que'
- Read! Definitely read articles and try and get as much vocab as possible from them. Read books too if you like, but I found them either too long or too archaic for me to effectively revise vocab from them.
- Using participles - One thing I've noticed is that the French LOVE present participles which they use to 'strengthen' (I can't think of a better term) their nouns. For example you could say 'les decisions de la Cour Supreme' although I would prefer to say 'Les decisions PRISES PAR la Cour Supreme'. Both sentences work, but using participles in this way will gain you grammar points and also sounds more French.

Best of luck and feel free to ask any questions!

I'm just starting a level French along with Maths and Art.
I've heard that you should only take it if you get an A or above GCSE but I got a B, however it's something I enjoy and that I'm ready to work hard for.
Just looking for any tips really
