💡 Why Study French?
French is an official language in twenty-nine countries and a working language of the EU, the UN and the International Olympic Committee. English borrowed heavily from French after 1066, so a large slice of the vocabulary is already half-familiar — the difficulty sits in pronunciation and in spelling that rarely matches sound, which makes repeated exposure more valuable than memorising rules.
📝 Study Tips for French
Learn the gender with the word
French nouns are masculine or feminine with little pattern to predict it. Always store le or la with the noun; the gender drives articles, adjectives, and past participle agreement.
Watch for false friends
Words that look English often are not — actuellement means currently, not actually. The familiar-looking vocabulary is where beginners make the most confident mistakes.
Hear it, do not just read it
French drops many written sounds and links words together in speech. Reading a card silently teaches you a pronunciation you will not recognise when spoken.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does the French deck cover?
▼
A beginner set of essential vocabulary and everyday phrases, with example sentences showing each word in context.
Are there higher-level French decks?
▼
Not yet — French currently has the beginner set only. German runs the full A1 to C2 range if you want to see where a complete ladder goes.
Does it cover verb conjugation?
▼
Verbs appear conjugated inside example sentences rather than as standalone conjugation drills. Pair the deck with a conjugation reference for systematic practice.
Will this prepare me for DELF?

It builds the vocabulary base those exams assume, but it is not an exam-preparation course and does not cover the exam format.
Can I export the deck to Anki?
