Do You Remember Your First French Word?
Your first French word.
Remember when you knew no French. At all. Then one day, somewhere, somehow, you learned how to say hello. Suddenly, you could express yourself in another language. And it didn’t stop there.
You learned a few more and picked up some grammar. Word by word, your ability to express yourself in French became greater and greater.
You went from “hello” and “My name is...” to expressing opinions, starting up conversations with native French speakers.
Because of more words.
All the best French speakers understand this one rule: Want to speak advanced French? You need more words.
April is Vocabulary Month, so start speaking more French and get even better! Get 30% OFF all Premium accounts until April... Show more
