Never Memorise the Gender of French
Nouns again.
Learn it like the French with the revolutionary ‘30 days to master the
gender of French Nouns’
How does it work exactly?
Each day, for 30 days, you will have to listen 20 words (not memorising)
several times. There is a checklist of the words of the day; it will help you to
verify that you are becoming proficient at gender.
You will find 4 tracks (MP3) per day (total 120 tracks) at different speeds:
1.
Normal speed: “Un livre / Le livre”
2.
Slow (to allow you repeat the word): Un livre….
3.
Random: Again there is a pause to allow you to repeat the word, but in
a different order.
4.
Quiz: I say the word without saying the gender (for example: “livre”) and
you have to repeat with the right article (“un livre”) - then you will hear the
correct answer.
Every 5 days you will have a mini quiz.
Do not hesitate to repeat the Mp3 once or twice to make sure you’ve got it
right.
