School Vocabulary and Expressions
Ever wondered how to complain about boring lessons or praise your favourite teacher in French? This revision guide covers essential school vocabulary and expressions you'll need for GCSE French.
The matching exercises help you connect French phrases with their meanings. Key expressions include "Mon prof est rigolo" (My teacher is funny), "C'est une matière difficile" (It's a difficult subject), and "Les cours sont stimulants" (The lessons are stimulating). These phrases are perfect for describing your school experience.
School facilities vocabulary covers everything from "le terrain de sport" (sports ground) to "la bibliothèque" (library). You'll also learn about "l'emploi du temps" (timetable), "la retenue" (detention), and "le réfectoire" (canteen) - all essential words for discussing school life.
The verb conjugation section focuses on school-related actions like "apprendre" (to learn), "étudier" (to study), and "rater" (to fail). Master these verbs to express what you do at school and how you feel about different subjects.
Quick Tip: Practice positive and negative expressions together - knowing both "C'est sensass" (It's brilliant) and "C'est une perte de temps" (It's a waste of time) makes your French more natural and expressive.
