Faux adjectives
In French, there are a number of words which are not actually adjectives but may be used as adjectives. These "faux adjectives" or "occasional adjectives" are always invariable - they do not agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify.

Album de photos / Arbre généalogique
Making a photo album or family tree is an interesting project for French classes or for independent studiers looking to spice up their self-instruction. This project is perfect as a short-term activity for beginning to low-intermediate students.

Poll: do you read in French?
Reading is a great way to practice your French and improve your vocabulary while learning something new, catching up on current events, or enjoying a new story. If you're a non-native French speaker, I'm curious, how much do you read in French?
