You have to study French words in logical groups like names of countries, greetings and clothing because this makes the learning easier. You can use the French dictionaries and textbooks that provide you simple lectures about the language. Use also a notebook where you can take down the terms you have encountered each day. To make it easier for you, arrange the topic you want to learn. For instance, you want to learn about automobile terms, just focus on different types of mobiles. In case you want to learn about marketing terms, you can read about business French. You can remember terms better than separated words.

You can also learn French faster by studying terms that are the same to English. For instance, study the terms that end in “ble” in French and English. You can also study terms that end in “tion” in both English and French. In addition to that, make sure you also learn the pronunciation, gender nouns and spelling differences. Let us take this as an example, you know the difference of the terms “apartment” and “aviator”. In English, the word “apartment” is the counterpart of the word “aviateur” in French. Learning about the relationships and their differences will help you speed your vocabulary skills. You can use textbooks or other references that could serve as guidance in getting new French words and their relationship to the English language.

Stop Struggling with French Numbers

Learning the numbers in French is a basic stage towards mastering the language. Several patterns are evident in the way numbers are formed.

The numbers 1 to 16 are just single words.

The numbers 17 to 19 are compounds based on 10. They are linked by hyphens.

The numbers between 20 and 60 follow a similar pattern. These numbers are hyphenated except for 21, 31, 41, 51 and 61.

The numbers from 60 to 90 change. They are compounds from previous numbers. For example 70 becomes (sixty-ten) 71 (sixty-eleven) ....

Learning numbers is a repetitive exercise that can be achieved with the help of Flashcards and Posters.
