Which French set should you start with?
The decks are organised by why you are learning rather than by level. Start with the row that matches yours.
| You are | Start with | Add next | Why this order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Going on a trip | French for Tourists | French Pronunciation | Travel French is a short list of fixed exchanges that work learned whole. |
| Staying a few months | Practical French | Learn French Fast | Making plans, opinions and small talk need range the travel set does not carry. |
| Living there or joining a family | Advanced French - Cultural Integration | Practical French | In-law terms, email etiquette and vouvoiement are where foreigners sound wrong despite correct grammar. |
| Starting from zero | Learn French Fast | French Pronunciation | The high-frequency core carries the verbs, question words and connectors every later set assumes. |
| Teaching a child | French for Kids | Animals, Food, Colors, Weather | Themed sets are short enough to finish, and each one teaches the article along with the word. |
| Reading French but not being understood | French Pronunciation | any set above | Nasal vowels and the French u do not exist in English, and no spelling can teach them to you. |
French is heard, not read
French spelling looks intimidating and is actually consistent, but it runs one way only. Given the spelling you can usually predict the sound; given the sound you often cannot predict the spelling. That asymmetry is why French rewards listening far more than reading, and why guessing pronunciation from the page goes badly.
Most written endings are silent. Parle, parles and parlent are spelled differently and said identically, so a great deal of written grammar simply disappears in speech. At the same time liaison pushes a silent final consonant onto the next word when it starts with a vowel, so words run together into a stream that beginners cannot cut into pieces. Hearing it is the only fix.
Two sounds have no English equivalent at all. The nasal vowels in un bon vin blanc are made by letting air through the nose, and the u in tu is a sound English never makes. Learners substitute the nearest English vowel, which is precisely why tu comes out as tout. These are the reason the pronunciation set is built around real words rather than charts.
Grammar-wise, expect gender on every noun and the agreement that follows it, and expect the tu and vous split to be a social decision rather than a grammatical one. Learn each noun with its article from the start, since le and la are far easier to absorb as part of the word than to attach to it later.
