I’ve been using this site for years and it’s one of the best sites for French teachers I’ve ever seen. There are hot potatoes activities, links to French music videos, links to java games, an interactive novel, webzines, and much more. I highly recommend all French teachers check out this site as I’m sure there’s something you’d find that would work in your class. Happy surfing!
Hola! So why did I title this entry as “I like music”? One reason is because it is the only thing I ever learned to say in Spanish. The other is because this post features a youtube music video created by a high school Spanish class. It’s a great video to show when teaching reflexive verbs. It’s also a great idea for any language teachers who are looking for a way to incorporate movie making into their curriculum. I’m sure the students who made this video will never forgot how to conjugate Spanish reflexive verbs, and no doubt they had a great time filming it. Enjoy!
