French Resources

Students often ask me how to supplement their learning so I’m happy to help in this post. I’ve been doing some research for the last 2 years about books, apps and novels that could help you along your path to learning French. So I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of French materials that can help reinforce grammatical concepts, conjugation and vocabulary.
