Great ideas. The BBC do a free french course online- go to www.bbc.co.uk and look at the languages section. They may do other basic language courses too.

www.gcsebitesize.co.uk does gcse revision stuff, but you can pick up a few things from there or justv refresh what you learned at school. Various subjects.

Bonnes etudes! (happy studying!)

Great ideas, Menna, and they also work as things to do instead of smoking!
