Weather: French vocabulary drill

Sixteen questions on eight words from the weather guide: recall the French word, recognise it by ear, use it in a sentence, and say what it means. Each new round reshuffles the words and the wrong options, and every answer you miss is saved on this device in a review list. Every answer plays aloud, and every sentence is glossed word by word.
