The Verbcast

This series of twenty programmes will allow you to review and improve your knowledge of French verbs in four tenses: present, perfect, imperfect and future. The podcast uses relaxation techniques to help you learn. Join thousands of French students across the world who are "sitting back, closing their eyes, and suddenly knowing their French verbs!" This podcast was developed through the Partners in Excellence project which ran in East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire and Argyll & Bute. Funding for this project ceased in 2007.
