French 1 (middle school): units, vocabulary and grammar, in order
A first year of French follows a familiar arc almost everywhere. Syllaboss practices each unit's actual vocabulary and verbs with games (flashcard quests, Monster Munch for noun gender, conjugation sprints) and swaps in the teacher's own word lists when a family adds the real class.

Practice that follows your kid’s real class.
Add the class from the teacher’s site or a photo of the agenda. Syllaboss lines it up with the calendar and turns each day into ten minutes of games, with the unit test as a boss fight before the real one.
