my bad🤣

depending on your exam board, there should be a vocab list - AQA has one published on their website AQA | French | Subject content | Vocabulary

I just learnt as much as I could off here - they reuse a lot of the words in the listening exams

I did lots of practice papers, so i got used to the style and type of questions they would ask - there's past papers on most exam boards website

apart from that I listened to music in french and watched french tv - just hearing the french language helped me get used to the speed and accent more [used this at a-level too]

hope this helps :smile:
