About the home and housing list

Why are some entries short phrases?

Practical housing conversations need more than isolated nouns. Short phrases show how to describe a room, report a repair or discuss a property, and the audio reads each entry as written.

Is this legal, financial or technical advice?

No. Rental, purchase, electrical and repair terms support language learning only. Check current local requirements and seek qualified advice for any contract, purchase or safety decision.

Where can I check housing terms?

Use the Larousse French–English dictionary for everyday vocabulary. For France-specific rental and purchase terminology, see Service-Public rental information and Service-Public property-purchase information. Rules and contracts may change.

What does the audio pronounce?

Each play button reads the entire French word or phrase 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.
