VERY USEFUL RESOURCES
Download the following apps on your phone or go to the websites! We will do this in the computer lab quite soon when you create your own Blog, but some of you might want to get started, now. 

Word Reference is the best dictionary app and is the one I want you to use. I love it! Je l'adore!
Here's an example for the word "annoy": Word Reference, annoy Now you have 10 words to use to
     describe your siblings ;^)
Coffee Break French. I think that this is the most effective resource to use to quickly learn French.
     There's a free version under a tab, so don't feel like you have to pay the $100 for the full edition.
Duolingo is an awesome way to learn a language! It's very user-friendly, fun, and addictive
French in Action was the ground-breaking immersion method used years ago. It's still fantastic.

Fais la cuisine/Do cooking in French with French recipes (English translation available)
Learn French Through Cooking
French in Action, episodes 2-3
French in Action, episodes 4-8
Find a French song, then get the English lyrics for the song at the following site:
Lyricstranslate.com
Then, while looking at the French lyrics, watch and listen to the French video at the lyricstraining site
and try to type in the French words that are left out. At the beginner level, about one in 12 words is a blank space showing the number of letters, like in Wheel of Fortune. Type as fast as you can!
This is a bit difficult even in English! In French, it's very difficult (for me, too!), but I'll bet you'll be happy to see that with practice you get pretty good at it.
