use flashcards. make a list of the regular verbs, and make a list of irregular verbs. focus on the patterns in the regular verbs, and make flashcards for the irregular verbs. make up a funny sentence in french with a verb that is giving you trouble, and then memorize the sentence. good luck!

learn some french, like verbs and conjugation, as well as some things about French culture.  i would also suggest bringing a small french dictionary, and learning to say "i don't know" (je ne sais pas) and "i dont speak french.  do you speak english" (je ne parle pas le francais.  est-ce que vous parlez englais?)  also, shouting "who speaks english?" (qui parle englais?)  can help you find a translator if you are having a really hard time.  there are also elecrtonic things that can help, too.  the internet can help, and if you can spare the money, buy a Holt French I and mabye even a French II textbook.  they are blue, and they are have Allez Viens!  written on them.  i have used them for three years.  also, you can get cds or tapes to listen to on the plane.  you can also get french movies or listen to movies in french in order to understand french better.  it can help a lot.  im sure there are other things that you can use to help, and you can probably ask a french teacher to give you a few quick lessons, or some references.  hope this helps.

The best way is to study at least 12 minutes a day from day one of the class. \n\nTake good notes. Make index cards for vocabulary words. Study the reviews at the end of each chapter.

listen to someone else speak it, buy a tape, find a station or movie in french... something that really helped me was watching subtitled movies.  i had a hard time learning french too, and the best way to learn is to always hear it and try to understand what your hearing.  even if at first you only understand a word or two, or just pick out something and are like, hey! i know that word!  the rest tends to fall into place.  as for things like learning to conjugate verbs and what not... i'm afraid my dear, you might just have to study ;)  haha.. but yeah, subtitled movies!!  i highly recommend!  good luck!

There are very good study tips already listed here. There are methods for different subjects and styles of learning. But one thing you might want to consider is how you learn. Are you a visual, auditory, kinetic, or mixed learner. If you are a visual learner here are some tips:\n- use graphic organizers (charts, maps, diagrams, etc.) to organize the information.\n- use pictures either in your head or drawn out. For example, If my students were studying culture, they might draw a bedroom with a poster of an artist on the wall, a shelf with books by famous authors, a cd player with cds of various musicians, etc. \n- use color. Perhaps you could put the major battles of one war in one color and another war in a different color. In foreign languages, try irregular verbs in red, regular verbs in green; Masculine objects in blue, feminine in pink, etc. \n\nIf you are an auditory learner try these tips:\n- have some one read it to you or read aloud and record it for play back at any time.\n- put it to music \n- say the important information aloud\n- put the information in story form (have fun with this: add voices, sound effects, accents, etc.) and tell someone \n\nIf you are a kinetic learner try this:\n- make up actions for important terms\n- act out or role play scenes and events\n- some of my students have made up cheers\n- just move around and find natural actions to match the concepts.\n\nMix and match - \nmake up songs with actions and picture the scenes in your head while you sing.\n\nMake it fun for yourself. I get bored easily. When I study I have to be creative and put it all in simplest form. Some of these things take time to do put you are learning and thinking the whole time. try the links below for more help.

First, examine your priorities.  Is what you need to study something you actually care about, or just something you are forced to study for a grade you don't care about in a school you don't care about for a diploma you don't care about.  If the latter is true, talk to your parents or whoever is keeping you there about how to make a change for the better.\n\nLet's assume you have your own reasons for wanting to do well on the test in question, then.  In order to concentrate, the first thing you need to do is eliminate as many distractions as possible.  If you have your own room, or can time-share your room, that is best.  Then turn off the TV and the radio, because even a classical station can be distracting with its advertisements.  You can play instrumental music if you keep the volume low, but don't play vocals, or you may be tempted to sing along, and the lyrics are a far greater distraction than an instrumental piece.\n\nNext, you need to organize the material you are supposed to be studying by priorities.  Start with the things that are due first, or the exams that will happen first, in case you don't finish everything before you run out of steam.  With long projects, or exams in subjects that you know need a lot of extra work, it may be better to do a bit at a time.\n\nThen take one subject at a time.  Organize the main pionts that you need to cover, and write an outline, or just some notes (formal outlining is not necessary, but organization is) about the main points that need to be covered.  Much of this will be available in the teacher's description of the assignment, or in the organization of the textbook used in the case of preparing for an examination.  You might try using 3 x 5 cards (or the computerized equivalent) to separate each main point, so that you can "flash card" yourself to commit to memory what you really need.\n\nI hope this helps.  I think you will find that the time spent getting organized is better than time wasted stressing out over the whole thing.  Good luck!

I took the easy way, and went to the country to learn the language. When I say the easy way, it has a double meaning. Anyway, I learned French in the USA, in highschool, and I can give you some tips. \n\nPractice as much as you can. A computer program is a good thing to learn vocabulary. Use online translators, too, but don't get caught up with them for translating sentances or big texts -- because they wont do you any good. Read a verb book, and start to learn your verbs, because once you know the basic conjugations for verbs, you'll be able to conjugate any very you want to. \n\nTo be able to retain everything you learn, you need to practice. I've been speaking French for 5 years now (I went and lived in Paris for 6 months and when I left, I spoke flawlessly). Now that I have been speaking Spanish for 8 months, I find it hard to speak french, and some spanish words come out. That's because I have been so focused on Spanish and I haven't put to practice my French in a while.  \n\nIf you know words in Spanish, try to think of things when you look around your room, and tell the object to yourself in Spanish. Like others said, watch TV, movies, listen to music, anything to let your ear hear spanish. You're only going to learn if you look up the words that you don't know, because if you're listening to spanish all day and not relating a word to english (or any other language you know) you wont learn.\n\nIt's fun to learn another language once you learn the first. It's easier, like everyone says, because you do things better from when you learned your first language. I worked harder learning spanish, maybe it's because I am older (well I am 20 years old) but I just know how things work. \n\nTake your time and the language will come. Don't make it feel like a chore because it's not. It should be fun learning another language... because so many people in the USA only speak one language, already you're showing interest in other cultures, wanting to learn about another way of communicating -- it's great.\n\nI dont know if you want to speak Spain spanish, Mexican spanish, or Argentine Spanish (what I speak) but go to www.clarin.com. It's Buenos Aires' newspaper online. Print a small paragraph and highlight all the words you dont know. Honestly, it takes time, but it helps. Then you can try reading something else, after learning the highlighted words, and you'll be amazed how much more you'll understand.\n\nTo memorize, you have to practice, practice, practice. I hope this helps a little. Preguntame si necesitas ayuda! Que disfrutes!

One way? Unless you're cramming for the SATs like I am, a good way is to memorize 1-? words per day based on your abilities. I prefer 3-4 cause its simple and easy. Plan your words the night before, next morning, recite them. And do so throughout the day randomly. And at night, review.\nIt sounds long but each step litterally takes less than 4 minutes.

unless you are doing French GCSE, i wouldn't give a damm. it's not a important subject anyway. i always flunk my french exams. i mean whats the point of learning a language if you have to keep on having tests on it. i don't know. if french means a lot to you then go offline and start revising!!!

Yes, on a french oral exam in high school.  The students were allowed to take into the exam a piece of paper with no more than 15 'reminder' words in French.  I wrote out my whole oral speech in a hard pencil and erased it, then wrote the 15 words.  The examiner never looked closely enough to notice you could still see the faint dents in the paper that would spell out my whole speech.  You are forced to take a European language in high school and, since they took me kicking and screaming, I don't feel bad.  I wouldn't have cheated had I got to choose a subject I really wanted to do.

Yes, if you speak fluent English. It's even easier if you're also fluent in French.
