=What plan of action will you design in order to practice French as much as possible in order to reach higher levels of proficiency?= = = =Foreign Language Learning demands that you also reflect on what you need to learn and practice in order to become proficient in the language. Spending a little time everyday listening to French-language Francophone songs, playing games in French, watching French-language Francophone television shows cartoon, etc. online, or watching part of a French-language Francophone movie a regular basis will improve your language skills drastically. By the time the end of the school year comes, you will be able to think in French better each day. Remember it is up to you to continue to practice. Language learning is a skill that must be developed frequently and over a long period of time.=
