Vocabulary

http://www.wordreference.com/fr
This is THE reference when you need to find some vocabulary, THE dictionary. Far better than Google translator which, really, should be banished!!!

https://www.thesaurus.com/
Do you want to enrich your vocab and banish "good", "bad", "terrible", "interested", "important" and many more ordinary words? This site is for you, just choose the most appropriate synonym and use it.

Revise the most common verbs in English: the irregular ones! Honestly, knowing these irregular verbs will help you loads to understand anything... so get started, memorise them and finally, play with them well! :)
