Finished working through that checklist and made fewer than three mistakes? Yes? Wonderful!
As that’s the case, what I now want you to do is repeat exactly the same process with the checklist below, except that this time you’ll be reading through the English and trying to recall the French. You’ll be doing it the other way round. Just relax and work your way up and down the list until you can give the correct French translation for each of the English words / expressions again without making more than three mistakes in total. It’s not a competition – and I’m not asking you to memorise them. Just look at the English words (on the left-hand side) while you cover up the blue French words on the right-hand side and see if you can remember how to say them in French. You’ll be surprised by how many you get right, even on the first try.
Okay, off you go!
