We reviewed an article about French politics. I read it out loud and we discussed it, which was great practice and I learned something about French politics as well.

She sends me videos on different subjects, along with the text. The next lesson, we discuss the video and I read the text to learn how to better pronounce and go over new vocabulary. C'est tres genial!
