French Vocabulary in Context I

Posted by Chanda

I’ve mentioned before that I think learning vocabulary in context is crucial to improving your French.  So, I’ve decided to provide you with some very short vocabulary activities once in a while to work on this.  I would also encourage any French teachers out there to use these exercises as quick warm-up activities.  I will provide the answers in a later post (in a few days) so you have plenty of time to get to them.
