A Level French is stressing me out!

What exam board are you on? I take A Level French too.

I do AQA

Right, so I am taking A levels in Chemistry, Biology, French and Panjabi, and I got A*s in all 4 at GCSE. But French is soooooooo hard! I am in Year 12, and so I almost a term into the course, but I feel that vocab is endless and there are so many structures I don't recognise (grammar), and I really want an A at the end of the course! Please tell me that it gets better!!!!!!! Can any Yr 13's give any advice??!!

I took A Level French last year - I would be in year 13 now but I had to drop out of school for personal reasons. However, I was on track to get an A*, and I am half French! I found that there was a LOT of vocab, even for a French person, but just keep going over and over it and it does start to stick. Speaking of sticking, put the words up in your room, your bathroom, your kitchen - everywhere. Get a flashcard app on your phone, and just keep reading over them again, and again... and again.

As for the grammar, it does get easier because in the first year, your teacher is probably trying to rush through the course so that you've covered all of the chapters. You get more time later to revise the structures, and they do start to become clear the more you read in general. If you don't understand something, don't panic! If you ask your teacher, I'm sure they'll go over it with you. And if you want to ask me anything about it, I'm more than happy to try and help!

Hope this helps
