French in Practice
Discover how to put the lessons
you have watched in to practice. Watch
a short animation about a holiday trip taken from Brighton in the UK,
to Grenoble in the East of France. Learn how to use phrases you will
need on holiday or buisness trips in French speaking countries.

Multiple Choice Tests
Interactive multiple
choice tests take you through the topics you have covered in the
earlier sections. The objective is to listen to a short clip of spoken
French, and with the aid of a picture or animation you will pick the
right answer from a selection of three choices. You will always be
given the meaning of any mistakes you choose.

Audio
Tests
The most
challenging feature in French Premier presents you with a series of
short audio clips spoken in French. You will then have to react within
a time limit to the phrase you are presented with. For example
in the
first test you will hear a short 10 second French clip, and then must
pick its correct translation from a choice of two possibilities within
15 seconds. At the end of the test you will be given a score and might
be shown your mistakes.
