Starting the journey of French learning
When you start learning French, it is best to learn the most common words of the French language. With this basic French, made up of the most useful words in French, you will be able to have your first conversations with French speakers.
A key element
Learning vocabulary is a key element in mastering a foreign language. The problem is often that you learn words and forget them quite easily if you don’t use them, if you don’t revise
them regularly.
Boring !
The most studious learners spend a lot of time revising their vocabulary lists. But lists, even with spaced repetition, are boring! Certainly, there are applications on the internet that facilitate the revision of these lists. However, these are still lists of words.
Learn French Vocabulary beter by reading very short stories
What would you say if you could revise a specific vocabulary while exercising written comprehension of French and becoming familiar with the basic structures of French?
This is what I propose here with « Learn Basic French effectively: a foolproof method».
500 French words and 16 texts
I suggest you revise the 500 most common French words by having fun with very short stories. First of all you learn the words of a text as you are used to doing and with the technique that suits you best. Then, a day later, instead of revising the list of these words, you read the text that is written with those words.
If you understand everything, you have retained all the words.
If you are no longer very sure of the meaning of a word, the context will help you understand it without needing the list.
If, finally, you no longer understand a word at all, then take the list and only relearn that word (not the others).
In less than a month
First day:
Learn the first list.
Second day:
Read the first text.
Check if you understand all the words.

Learn the third list.
And so on.

Dutch is your mother tong ! Geen problem ! Er bestaat ook een Nederlandse versie van het boek: Frans effectief leren. Je kunt het vinden … hier
This is a paperback book is of good quality and covers basic French.
There is a list of French words with their English translation side by side so that you can easily cover either list to learn the equivalent. Then there is a short passage in French using the words in the list.
I enjoyed being able to translate the French passages so easily, picking up new words and learning the meaning of words that had confused me. I have found it a good way to consolidate my basic French.
I have looked for similar books in Spanish and for more advanced French but could not find any.
