1000 French Words in Context: A Self-Study Guide for French Language Learners

I have put together a comprehensive list of the 1000 most used words in French with French and English sentences.

Learning a language really takes time and effort. Don't be fooled. Ongoing dedication really will get you through.

You can use this list to build up your knowledge of French words. It is a comprehensive list fully illustrated with examples of the words in English and French to give you a good idea of how to use the word.

How to use this book:

The list here is long. Is it too long? No. However, you need to know how to use it properly to maximize your learning.

I recommend setting yourself achievable targets to make sure you stay on track with your learning. You could aim to learn 10 words (or less if you wish) a day. Five in the morning and five for the afternoon, with the evening to check you remember them all. That may sound a lot to learn but consider all the times you have free when you could quickly learn a new verb. For example on the bus, waiting for the bus, on the toilet (when there are very few distractions!), during your lunch break, when you wake up in bed, when eating your breakfast, just before you shower (to practice in the shower), when you are waiting for someone...the list goes on and so do your opportunities to learn.

So don't be overwhelmed by learning a new language. Set yourself small daily goals, and time will fly. Before you know it, you will find yourself with an extensive vocabulary.

Finally, I want to say that I will hopefully add to the book so check for updates. If there's good demand and feedback I will offer more.

Good luck!

Helpful vocabulary builder

The sound wasn't the best, but all in all the book was very helpful. After a while you don't notice the echo in the voice.

A good one for beginners

I really like this book. It starts slowly with easy sentences, I tried to memorize both the words and the example sentences, which amplified my vocabularies. The recording is not as clear as the other audiobooks I've listened to, but it's good enough. It is indeed helpful.

Why is this even on Audible

Where to start. First: it sounds like she is in a bathroom, kitchen or echo chamber. It sounds like an amateur made it at home. I did listen to the sample and thought it was a bad recording but decided to give it a try. I regret it. Second: Many sentences are surprisingly odd. I have no idea why she chose the sentences she did to give an example of many of the words in context. Three: There doesn't seem to be an obvious lesson plan, even though there is an outline in the beginning. I'm on sentence 100. It has occurred to me that it will go on like this to 1000. What's the point? I think if the sentences were usable in everyday situations, that would make a difference. Better yet, just the words would be better. I think it's a complete waste of money. I wanted to expand my French vocabulary. This is not what I was expecting at all.
