Hello readers, and bienvenue!
I can’t believe this is already my 6th post for my learning project. I don’t know about you guys, but it has been a crazy busy week for me.
My next “step” for my learning project is to make flash cards. I haven’t gotten around to it yet, although I have been compiling phrases which I would like to add to the flash cards. I have been looking for an app that I can download on my phone that might be useful for this, so if you are reading this and know of any, please let me know!
With how busy it has been, I was primarily doing DuoLingo as my main way of learning for this week. I have been learning a ton of phrases surrounding transportation this week, and it has been cool to start to add these phrases to my “repertoire”. It is interesting to see what words it is teaching me; words like train station, or even just train might not be as relevant for somebody to learn in Canada as they would be in France, where those modes of transportation are much more common.
I haven’t given you guys any videos in a bit, so I figured I would share a couple of my lessons to give a sense of where I am at with that. The files were too large to share within my blog post, so they can be found here.
I like recording my lessons, and going back to see what my common mistakes are. I still am really struggling with accents and when to use which ones, but I think repetition is going to be a key factor in overcoming this. DuoLingo will occasionally tell you little bits of what your common errors are, but I don’t have the money for DuoLingo+, so it is more cost-efficient to do film study on my own mistakes and make note of what I should be working on.
To conclude my blog post, I always like leaving you guys behind with a question:
- Is my google doc viewable, and can you see the videos I uploaded onto the document?
- Does anybody know a way to make it so I can upload my videos directly onto my blog? I’m sure it’s been answered, but it seems to be an issue regarding my file sizes. Not sure how to make that smaller.
As always, thanks for reading!
Hello!
So, the way I add videos is that I upload them onto YouTube (as unlisted so no one sees it), and then add the link to the blog. It pops up right away!

Hey! Quizlet allows you to make your own digital flashcards! Or atleast youused to be able to make your own for free on it. I haven’t used it in like 4 years or since high school, so it may have changed. But I found it really useful for studying and memorization so It might be worth checking out! I am pretty sure there is an app for your phone but you can always just google it on your phone. That is what I used to do.
As for your issues with your videos. I do it the same way as Bernice – post it as unlisted on youtube and then add the link into my blog post! I tried to go onto your google slides to watch the videos. I could open the slides however it would not let me watch the videos and I have no idea why (sorry I’m not more helpful with fixing that). I hope my ideas prove useful to you and good luck with figuring out how to upload future videos and with the rest of your french learning!
