    Try http://french.about.com/

    I think the best thing you can probably do though is to get a revision book for French Leaving Cert. Also, if you can afford it, get grinds - they really will help. But if you do, don't expect that just sitting there you will 'absorb' French - you have to put in the effort too. I have given grinds to too many students that just thought that I was gonna put the language straight into their head, but it doesn't work that way. You'd really need to get cracking to get work done for the oral.

    oui oui, i believe you :D

    seriously, i admire the foreigners who learn english cause when i have to explain some french rules, i ask always myself how the hell they will manage with it, cause to each rule there is an exception.
    i think when an english speaker is getting confortable with the 'la' and the 'le' then the war is almost won :)
