Reaching higher levels of proficiency in French demands that you also reflect on what you need to learn and practice in order to reach your goals and the goals of the program. Spending a little time everyday listening to French-language Francophone songs, playing games in French, watching French-language Francophone television shows,
cartoons, etc. online, or watching part of a French-language Francophone movie on a regular basis will improve your language skills. You may be able to think a little bit more in French each day. Remember it is up to you to continue to practice. Language learning is a skill that must be developed frequently and over a long period of time.
