Monuments, Tourism & Vacations
Topic specific French practice exercises
One of the great joys of learning a new language is how much it can enhance your travels in the places it's spoken. Learning about the country's regions, exploring new cities, visiting monuments, and attending local festivals are even more fun and fascinating when you can communicate with locals in their language.
The exercises on this page can help you learn about geography and virtually visit some French-speaking countries while practising and improving your language skills.
