- Practice guessing the meaning of new words: words that are similar to those in your mother tongue, or in another language, for example.
- Pretend you're insitu: say the sentences out loud that are liable to be useful in a given situation.
- Make the most of the time you spend in public transportation to study your vocabulary. Write the words you've learned on flash cards. A word with an example in French on one side, and the translation of the word on the other side.
