Check out the link to Northgate School’s Language blog under blogroll.  For some cool French music visit the YouTube links on that site.

Year 12s, have a look at the piece about family life. (”Êtes-vous plus proche de vos amis ou de votre famille?”)  If you want, post a comment.  Remember, comments should always be constructive – find two points about the piece that you particularly like, and one thing that you might change.
