About the grammar
Why are some forms repeated in different examples?
French has only a small number of coordinating conjunctions and just two adverbial pronouns, y and en. Repeated forms appear in new contexts so you can learn how they work rather than memorise an artificial list of “unique words”.
When do I use y and en?
Y often replaces a place or a non-person complement introduced by à; en often replaces a complement introduced by de or an expression of quantity. The examples show these uses in context. Read the Académie française explanation.
Are these the 1,000 most frequent words?
No. The entries are arranged by learning objective, with 62 or 63 examples in each section. Some rows are phrases or sentences, not individual words.
What does the audio pronounce?
Each play button reads the entire French entry beside it in the same female voice as the other French Course lists.
What is free?
Entries 1–100, including their meanings and pronunciation. The remaining 900 require an active French Course membership.
