Exercices avec les chiffres
Numbers are one of the most basic and essential aspects of language, and at times one of the most confounding. Trying to make sense of numbers being rattled off in the form of prices, phone numbers, and dates can be extremely frustrating – and this is especially true with French double digits starting at 70. This selection of lessons and exercises will help you learn, remember, and understand French numbers of all kinds.
And to make it more fun, I’ve included some Itchy Feet comics!*

In English, we say that the vowels are “a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y.” The last couple of words hint at one of the keys to understanding pronunciation: a vowel is not so much a letter as the sound represented by a letter or combination of letters.

Practice is the key to improving your French, and just 15 minutes a day on some kind of French activity can make a huge difference. Check out these ideas and draw up your own schedule.
