Technology and Digital Life

Technology vocab is everywhere these days, so you'll need words like une tablette (tablet), les rรฉseaux sociaux (social media), and un smartphone. When describing tech, use adjectives like divertissant (entertaining), pratique (practical), or dangereux (dangerous).

To talk about what you normally do, use "J'utilise... pour" (I use... to) followed by activities like communiquer avec mes amis (communicate with friends) or tรฉlรฉcharger de la musique (download music). For recent activities, switch to past tense "j'ai recherchรฉ des infos" (I searched for information).

Time signals help structure your speaking. Use normalement (normally), parfois (sometimes), or rรฉcemment (recently) to show when things happen. For future plans, try "Je voudrais acheter un nouveau portable" (I'd like to buy a new phone).

Quick tip The phrase "ce qui รฉtait..." (which was...) is perfect for linking your activities to opinions about them.

Hobbies and Entertainment

Your hobbies and entertainment vocabulary needs to cover everything from une comรฉdie (comedy) to un film d'horreur (horror film). Don't forget food-related words like vรฉgรฉtarien (vegetarian) and dรฉlicieux (delicious) since French people love discussing meals!

Present tense is straightforward "Je joue au tennis" (I play tennis) or "Je suis passionnรฉ(e) de volley" (I'm passionate about volleyball). For things you dislike, simply say "Ce n'est pas mon truc" (It's not my thing).

Past and future tenses follow predictable patterns. "Je suis allรฉ(e)" (I went) for past activities, and "Je voudrais essayer" (I'd like to try) for future plans. The conditional "j'aurais prรฉfรฉrรฉ" (I would have preferred) shows sophistication.

Remember Use linking words like "personnellement" (personally) and "par exemple" (for example) to make your French flow naturally.

Festivals and Celebrations

French festivals include obvious ones like Noรซl (Christmas) and Pรขques (Easter), but also La Chandeleur (Candlemas) and Le 14 juillet (Bastille Day). Learn festival foods too la bรปche (Yule log), les crรจpes (pancakes), and le gรขteau des rois (king cake).

Express your feelings with "J'adore cรฉlรฉbrer..." (I love celebrating...) or "C'est ma fรชte prรฉfรฉrรฉe" (It's my favourite festival). For past experiences, use "J'ai รฉtรฉ trรจs gรขtรฉ(e)" (I was very spoilt) or "Il y avait un grand concert" (There was a big concert).

Arguments for and against celebrations show critical thinking. Pour les fรชtes they let you "passer du temps avec les gens qu'on aime" (spend time with people you love). Contre les fรชtes people might "s'endetter" (get into debt) or "oublier les gens pauvres" (forget poor people).

Pro tip Use "bien que j'ai aimรฉ..., j'aurais prรฉfรฉrรฉ..." (although I liked..., I would have preferred...) to show complex opinions.

Your Town and Local Area

Describe your local area using words like des magasins (shops), un chรขteau (castle), and une zone piรฉtonne (pedestrian zone). Adjectives matter tranquille (quiet), animรฉ (lively), historique (historic), or ร  couper le souffle (breathtaking).

Relative pronouns make you sound fluent "J'habite dans une petite ville qui est situรฉe..." (I live in a small town which is situated...) or "Il y a un restaurant dont les touristes raffolent" (There's a restaurant that tourists love).

Balance advantages and disadvantages. Your town might let you "se promener en sรฉcuritรฉ" (walk around safely) and "dรฉcouvrir la gastronomie" (discover local food). However, you might "s'ennuyer" (get bored) or need to "aller ร  la ville voisine" (go to the neighbouring town).

Key insight Use conditional sentences like "Si j'รฉtais riche, je..." (If I were rich, I...) to discuss improvements your town needs.

Volunteering and Charity Work

Charity vocabulary includes le travail bรฉnรฉvole (voluntary work), une organisation caritative (charity), and le camion-soupe (soup kitchen). Social problems you might address include le chรดmage (unemployment), la discrimination, and les sans-abri (homeless people).

Present your current involvement "Je suis bรฉnรฉvole" (I'm a volunteer) or "Je sponsorise un enfant" (I sponsor a child). Gerund phrases work well "En aidant les autres..." (By helping others...) or "En donnant de mon temps..." (By giving my time...).

Know your major French charities Les Restos du Cล“ur (food banks), Mรฉdecins Sans Frontiรจres (Doctors Without Borders), Le Tรฉlรฉthon (disability charity), and La Croix Rouge (Red Cross). These show cultural awareness.

Remember Use "depuis" since/forsince/for to show ongoing commitment "Je suis bรฉnรฉvole depuis un an" (I've been volunteering for a year).

Discuss current habits "Je suis en bonne santรฉ" (I'm in good health) or "Je fais attention ร  ce que je mange" (I'm careful about what I eat). For problems, try "Je bois trop" (I drink too much) or "J'ai pris quelques kilos" (I've put on a few kilos).

Future resolutions use various structures "Je ne fumerai jamais" (I'll never smoke), "Je vais limiter ma consommation" (I'm going to limit my consumption), or "J'arrรชterai de fumer" (I'll stop smoking).

Health tip The phrase "Si j'avais une baguette magique" (If I had a magic wand) is a fun way to introduce ideal solutions.

Environmental problems include le rรฉchauffement climatique (global warming), la pollution, le dรฉboisement (deforestation), and les inondations (floods). Solutions involve recycler (recycling), les รฉnergies renouvelables (renewable energy), and les transports publics (public transport).

Use progressive tenses for ongoing issues "Les animaux sont en train de disparaรฎtre" (Animals are disappearing) or "Il y a de plus en plus de dรฉchets" (There's more and more waste). The gerund works well "En recyclant, on aide la planรจte" (By recycling, we help the planet).

Conditional sentences show solutions "On devrait investir" (We should invest), "Il faudrait construire" (We should build), or "Si j'รฉtais maire, je..." (If I were mayor, I...). These structures demonstrate advanced French.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didnโ€™t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as Iโ€™m sure you too will see developments.
