On Va En Ville!
Learn these places in town. You will be tested on them in the next lesson.

1) Look, cover, say and check. Cover the English phrases and look at the French phrases. Can you
remember what they are? Do this several times until you have remembered them all. This may take a
long time, but keep going – it will get easier!

2) RACAWAC ! (Read And Cover And Write And Check) When you have remembered most of them,
test yourself. Cover the English phrases, look at the French phrases and write the English in the box
in pencil. Check your answers. If you got an answer right, tick the I know it! box. If you didn’t get it
right, rub out your answer and learn it again. Keep going until you have ticked all the I know it
boxes.

3) Take a break! It is important to take a break and test yourself again later. You may find you have
forgotten some, so try again. This time it won’t take you as long to learn them!
