Bonjour Tout le monde!

I am taking Year 11 ( Unit 1 & 2) French next year and need some advice, tips or any other useful information! I do Year 10 French via the VSL distance education program and do very well in my tests and worksets. Anyone attempted or god bless you, complete Year 11 & 12 French via Distance Education before? That is my plan. Everyone has told me that it is so hard but I want to at least try. I have a French tutor who is fluent and go to Alliance Francaise every school holidays. I fell in love with the country when I went on holidays a year ago to France. I'm going back for two weeks next year so hopefully that will help with my pronounciation

I want to aim for a 40 as a study score in Year 12. HARD? Not hard? Super dooper crazy?!

Merci fellow etudients!

I did year 11 french through distance education and I thought it was really hard, I started to fall behind in submitting the worksets but that's only because I didn't have a tutor or a french teacher helping me. But like you said, give it a try. You will be able to do a lot better since you have a tutor and as long as you're interested in learning the language you'll do well

Also, you have an option of doing French every Saturday instead of distance education. It would be a lot easier to learn since it's like doing normal classes, only on Saturdays.

Hi thank you so much for your advice!

Did you continue it? Oh gosh, my worst nightmare is falling behind of those worksets!! Is it the same structure as to what it was in years 7,8,9,10 ect? Or is it a textbook?

I'm sure it's super hard! What was the hardest thing about it? I've been told I get 3hrs of contact per week with my distance ed teacher- was that true for you?
I'm hoping it will be better because I have a tutor yeah thanks! Did you continue French at all?

How do you mean on Saturdays? At VSL? That could work!

Merci!
