The document summarizes a study on second language learning strategies for French. It interviewed 20 students about their use of 10 strategies: using translators, dictionaries, language games, movies/audio, shortcuts, pictures/words, speaking with others, writing, environment learning, and memorizing. Most students reported studying and memorizing (20%), and using dictionaries (19%) and movies/audio (19%). Other popular strategies included language games, pictures/words, and speaking with others (15% each). The project gave the researchers experience conducting surveys, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions.

the criteria and our assumptions from it.
Language learning as a skill was the basic topic and we
concentrated on people who learn French as their

the learning
Most of them concentrates on communication skills
and perfection than the grammatical area behind it
They find speaking to native speakers and practicing
through online methods more comfortable and
intelligent
The project gave us an opportunity to come out
through ideas, find solutions through question , to
plot graph for comparison, to conduct a survey for
research and to draw conclusions for them .
