Where to start

Begin with a mind map to see the whole topic at a glance. New Technology lists words such as a blogger and an internet user, each with its English meaning. For television, try French Revision, which sorts programme types like cartoons and documentaries.

Then move to flashcards

Once the words look familiar, switch to flashcards. The deck 2.1 A: Comment la technologie facilite la quotidienne adds useful phrases, such as the social network and the digital revolution, not just single words. The deck technology french as level aqa 1 gives a longer list of nouns and verbs. Say each word aloud before you flip the card.

Using quizzes and maps together

There are only a small set of quizzes here: French Verbs and French Vocab. Use them after a mind map or deck. Note the words you miss, then go back to the map that contains them. Repeat until the quiz feels easy.

For teachers

Decks such as Year 8 French Revision and Key Vocabulary can be opened as ready-made starter material for a class. Check the content first, as the resources were made by GoConqr users and vary in level.
