Have You Met Tex?

You've outgrown Muzzy but some "adult" language-learning resources are... well, boring. What do you do?

Tex's French Grammar is a website developed and maintained by the University of Texas at Austin's Department of French and Italian. Featuring a lively cast of characters--including the eponymous French-loving armadillo, Tex--and occasionally off-color college humor, the site makes learning French especially fun for high school and college students.

Search the index for brief yet clear lessons followed by short fill-in-the-blank exercises on grammar topics that interest you. In addition to written grammar resources, the site also features .mp3 downloads and podcast lectures for the auditory learners among us.

Whether you're young or just young at heart, Tex's French Grammar is a helpful and entertaining resource for the in-between demographic of teens and young adults.

If Tex and the gang aren't for you, check out Austin's Français Interactif for an equally valuable interactive online textbook full of audio and video resources.
