French for everyday moments, not just textbook exercises.
Start with phrases you can picture yourself using, then build confidence through short, practical practice around greetings, simple questions and familiar situations.
Start with the French you are most likely to need first.
The first French learning sets will focus on useful beginner phrases, greetings and common situations before moving into broader vocabulary.
Essential French Phrases
Build a useful base with short expressions for introductions, simple questions, asking for help and everyday communication.
Greetings & Introductions
Practise the French you need to greet someone, introduce yourself, say goodbye and handle simple social exchanges.
Everyday Situations
Learn useful French for cafés, shopping, asking questions, getting around and other familiar situations.
Build familiarity before expecting yourself to speak perfectly.
A phrase becomes more useful when you recognise it quickly, understand the context and have heard it enough times that the sound no longer feels unfamiliar.
