Today we will be sharing some further advice to help you ‘French up‘ your English speaking world.

At Cosmopoli’French, we believe that learning opportunities are everywhere so everything surrounding you can potentially become a new learning tool.

Being adept of creative learning, Cosmopoli’French sees in our hyper technologic world an opportunity to enhance your language skills. Indeed, you will be surprised to see how a technologic device that pretty much never leaves you, can become part of your learning experience, so grab your SMART phone and start to Explore to Learn!

Here is the challenge of the week:

Put your phone on French mode!

To be able to complete this challenge, you will be required to change the language settings on your phone and switch to French.

This challenge will not only gives you the opportunity to broaden your vocabulary but will also gives you the chance to work on your pronunciation and written skills.

How can this challenge boost your vocabulary?

Immediately after having changed the settings on your phone, a lot of new words will come up on your screen:

Here are some of them:

- Paramètres: settings
- Langue: language
- Applis: applications
- Lecteur mp3: mp3 player
- Mes fichiers: my files
- Eteindre: swich off
- Recherche vocale: voice Search


Another way to broaden your vocabulary is to use the French version of your favourite applications such as Facebook or Twitter and have fun with it!

After one week on French mode, you will end up with a lot of new words to add to your vocabulary list.

How can this challenge help you work on your pronunciation?

Go on voice search and do an oral Google search in French. The accurate results will only come up if you pronounce the words properly.

You can start with the following:

- Restaurants français Melbourne.
- Festivals français Melbourne
- Films français Melbourne


How can this challenge help you work on your written skills?

During the challenge week, write at least 3 text messages in French to one of your French friends, to your partner, spouse…or future travel buddy! The message can be very simple, the point of this exercise is to push yourself to write sentences that can be used in every day life situations.

Here are a few expressions you can use:

- Quoi de neuf: What’s up?
- Comment se passe ta journée? How is your day going?
- Je pense à toi: Thinking of you
- Je t’appelle plus tard: I call you later


Have fun et à bientôt!
