FINAL EXAM
To improve your french and help you in this class:
“On n’est pas couche” [(lot of idioms, can be hard) I advise you to see just the
beginning of this show (until the end of the flop10 10-15min) or just to watch the
videos call “les dessins”]
https://www.youtube.com/user/onpcofficielle/playlists?spfreload=10
“Cyprien” [ more fun, young talk, some idioms (speak quite quickly)]
http://www.cyprien.fr
“Norman fait des videos” [ similar to what is done by Cyprien but a different way
to explain, see, say things]
http://www.normanfaitdesvideos.com
“Le joueur du grenier” [ for those liking video-games but lot of swear words on
those videos]
http://www.joueurdugrenier.fr
“L’express” [ French magazine, could help you for your presentations, the
magazine is available at the lab (Old Main 004)]
http://www.lexpress.fr
“Le nouvel observateur” [ French magazine similar to “l’express” but it usually
has a different point of view (to get access to this magazine check the lab and the
library and/or ask me]
