This lesson is included in my FRENCH PROGRAM FOR SELF-LEARNERS .
Step 1: Download your conjugation chart and keep it as a handy reference as you move on to STEP 2.
Step 2: Use the 20 audio recordings to listen and repeat each conjugation. Read along on your conjugation chart.
Step 3: Download your blank conjugation chart. When you're ready, listen to the audio again and fill in the chart. Check your work to be sure you've spelled everything correctly.
Step 4: Still using your blank conjugation chart, fill it in without listening to the audio. Can you remember all of the irregular conjugations? Be sure to check your work using the chart from STEP 1.
Step 5: It's time to get some real exposure to these verbs! Use your set of 120 practice cards to see many ways to use them in sentences. Read the sentences aloud, do your best with pronunciation (I'll help you with that in STEP 6) and be sure to conjugate the infinitive in parentheses. Check your work using the answer key provided, and you can also read the English translations. Take note of all the new vocabulary you will learn!
Step 6: Practice and improve your pronunciation and fluency while listening to audio recordings of all 120 practice cards. Use your answer key to read along as you listen and repeat each sentence. The recordings are divided into groups of 10 sentences each.
Step 7: Listen to the audio recordings of the practice cards again, and this time try to repeat without looking at your answer sheet. If you've followed all of the steps (maybe even several times) you will feel confident and familiar with the content, and you will be ready for success! Repeat this step often!
