AQA French GCSE Higher

Is there a list of all verbs required please, in fact all vocabulary required ?

Also are there any really good websites or apps. There are so many great ones for science, Educake and Free Science Lessons are outstanding.

I don’t particularly like BBC Bitesize. There are usually only 10 questions and most of the options you can discount with zero knowledge. Educake provides thousands of science questions.
Duolingo is not configured specifically to GCSE.

My daughter has a login for Activelearn from school but is this only for teacher set assignments as I can’t see how to use it. We don’t particularly want to practice listening or speaking at this stage, just vocabulary and tenses.

Can anybody help please ?

Thanks

Seneca is fantastic and free.

There should be a list of all vocab included in the GCSE freely available on the exam board website. These will also have been uploaded by some helpful soul into Memrise/Quizlet/Other vocab-learning sites, I would have thought.

Seneca just what I’m looking for, thank you. We use Seneca for Science, didn’t realise they did French.

There is a list of vocab on the website - divided into F and H (the H being the extra, obvs).

There is a lot but a good way to manage it is to copy it all and delete all words that are known, then learn it by topic, or by types of words.

This is for next year I assume with a current year 10?

Knowing vocab and verbs for sure is the best way forward :)

I am sure she will know lots. And maybe focus just now on topics covered? She won't be close to completing the course I imagine.

Thank you. She is Year 9.

They do pretty much all the subjects, they're good for things like English quotes too 😁

Thank you. She is Year 9.

OK well loads of time then. Good plan to start now tho. If she can revise tenses and how to form them (regular and irregular verbs) and then vocab by topic/use (some elements of the vocab list are things like time phrases etc) then that will be massively useful.

Language Gym Conti workbooks - the methodology really works . Start at beginners and go from there.

Cobwebs5 · 11/05/2025 23:22

Is it Gian Conti ? Could you post a link please.

yes, gianfranco conti - he has a website - lots of the listening exercises in the work books are on his site but I’m not sure about the licence for the exercises - they are for schools really . The methodology has been adopted by MFL departments in secondary schools all over the UK who have” contified” their schemes of work . You can buy all the books on Amazon and there are GCSE ones. Really good for writing skills . Bear with I find you a link
