I'm in France for 6 weeks and want to improve my French - what do you recommend??

Just that really ...

We've six weeks in a gorgeous house in Provence, part holiday part work and at the same time we'd like to improve our French just a bit every day. I've been ill so we aren't going to be very sociable - otherwise we'd go to cafes and chat to people!

We're at French GCSE + level but very rusty!

We're thinking:

• go to the local cinema and watch things in French on Netflix
• speak as much French as we can when we go to shops, etc
• read a novel or the newspaper in French
• and ideally do a DuoLingo type language course a few minutes each day - which do you find best?

All other ideas very welcome - but especially a recommendation for a spoken language course online, ideally free or not too expensive

Thanks!

Sadly our home is max 4 people but if you'd like, I'll send you a link for our neighbours, which we've often used as a bigger group. Gorgeous place - fab swimming pool, tennis and boule court... BUT it is a drive into town rather than a walk, though just 8 minutes.

Watching films in French with subtitles on Netflix - and even English series with French subtitles - is proving great for my colloquial French. I've an exercise book full of phrases that I've collected.... and probably refer to less often than would really help!

That wd be great to get the link - thank you 😀
