Listen to the key words and phrases in French, then repeat, practise and refine! A relaxing way to pick up the language. All essential words and phrases for modern life in France are here, with topics covering home life, work and school environments, shopping, food and drink, sport and leisure, transport, technology and the environment. Great care has been given to represent modern French culture and enhance your experience of France and its people, including food and drink, customs, celebrations and festivals.
Summary
Want to learn French faster?
Your best bet is to learn the most common French words that you can use throughout most of your conversations. Even in English, we only use 10-20 percent of words throughout 80-90 percent of our everyday conversations (unless you’re having an intense philosophical or business conversation).
1,000 Most Common French Words in Context = 88 percent of comprehension
A study done on the French language revealed that:
Studying the first 1000 most frequently used words in the language will familiarize you with 76.0 percent of all vocabulary in non-fiction literature, 79.6 percent of all vocabulary in fiction literature, and 87.8 percent of vocabulary in oral speech.
Studying the 2000 most frequently used words will familiarize you with 84 percent of vocabulary in non-fiction, 86.1 percent of vocabulary in fictional literature, and 92.7 percent of vocabulary in oral speech.
And studying the 3000 most frequently used words will familiarize you with 88.2 ppercent of vocabulary in non-fiction, 89.6 percent of vocabulary in fiction, and 94.0 percent of vocabulary in oral speech.
Without throwing too much research and date at you, these findings brings us to a simple conclusion that can save you a lot of time.
Learning and mastering the first 1,000 most common French words will be an essential milestone we should achieve in any language, as this will allow us to:
- “grasp 88 percent of vocabulary in oral speech” (and most of us are learning with the sole intent to converse with another native speaker)
- “express everything we could possibly want to say”
For most of us, 1,000 words is that sweet mark between result and effort, since learning an additional 1,000 words (2,000 words) will only deliver 5 percent additional comprehension (88 percent to 93 percent).
To serve the purpose of this guide on how to learn languages, we’re going to create a challenge for you to learn 15 of the most common words per day.
This means that after 66 days, you will have learned over 1,000 of the most common words, which is more than enough to understand the language.
Are you ready for the challenge?

A good resource for beginners. While the stories are not riveting, they are perfect for my level. Picking up context clues from audiobook recording and having the audio so I can hear perfect pronunciation helps enormously. Love this, just what I was looking for. If you’re lazy like me, out this on as you fall asleep. Like, every night. It’s amazing what you pick up.

Completely useless
The vocabulary is provided without any indication of gender - for instance, 'mouth' is simply given as 'bouche'. If you do not know whether this is masculine or feminine, you cannot use the word correctly or with confidence. The same goes for adjectives - you are just given the masculine singular adjective, whereas the adjectives for feminine or plural nouns could be quite different. Another failing is that the vocabulary is presented without any context - you are simply expected to listen a string of words repeated in each 'chapter', without any examples or illustrations of how to use the words. A complete waste of time!
