How to prepare for AP French

I'm taking AP french since all the honors have to take a class, but Im not the greatest at French.

I do well in my honors class (I get mainly 90s and high 80s) but I hear that AP French is way harder than honors.

But I have to make sure I get an A in the class for the first quarter so I can bring up my GPA but what would be the best way to get ready for the class so I dont fall behind in class

No one on here knows what your AP French class is like. If your preparing for the test, you should read, write, listen, and speak French as much as you can.

Read and watch movies in French - it's honestly incredibly helpful. For instance, I read Harry Potter in French. That's how I prepared for the AP exam. Since I already knew what happened in the books, it wasn't too hard to understand. And the more you read the more you learn. Same goes for listening.

Listen to RFI, Radio Canada, read French newspapers, go to the library and find books and movies in French.

Hey guys, I'm building some online tools to help AP language students (and language learners in general). In particular, it aims to help people read better. We're not yet public, but if you want to beta test the product, just shoot me a message.

Also, if you have any ideas on how online tools and apps can help your study and practice, shoot me a message as well.
