French Vocabulary
One of the cornerstone of being fluent in French is to know a lot of French vocabulary.
If French vocabulary lists are readily available on the internet, many of them are incomplete: they feature the French vocabulary words but don’t have any article, which is half of the information!
In this section, you’ll find not only reliable lists of French vocabulary (some with audio), but also explanations, relevant cultural advice, French pronunciation tips etc… In other words, not just bullet lists of French vocabulary, but truly useful French vocabulary lists!
Many French vocabulary lists will be illustrated by sentences, or even a learn French in context story.
Have fun with our French videos, and make sure you don’t miss our extensive audio lessons on French numbers.
Don’t hesitate to suggest relevant new words in the comment section: please provide the French word (with the article!) and its English translation and I will gladly add your suggestions to the article(s). Merci!
