About the book
Traditional learning methods require you to learn a huge amount of
words. Most of which you will never use.
At French Together, we are huge fans of the Pareto Principle, a principle
stating that that 20% of efforts produce 80% of results.
Applied to language learning, this rule means that you will use the 20%
same words 80% of the time.
So we wondered? Could we apply this law to learning French? The
answer is YES!
This ebook contains the 100 most frequently used French words. These
are words you will hear all the time when talking to French people or
reading French articles. As such, they are absolutely essential.
Each word comes with its translation as well as examples of use. This
way you immediately know how to use each word.

About the Author
Bonjour, I am Benjamin!
I am a French student passionate about language learning
and travelling.
I am currently learning German and Korean, but would like to add many
more languages to the list.
After a first experience teaching French as a volunteer in South Korea, I
decided to go further and to create French Together, a blog where I
share advice to learn French in a fun and effective way using innovative
methods.

The ultimate guide to learning vocabulary
Needless to say that these frequently used French words are only useful
if you know them. So now you may be wondering how to memorize
them. This article from the blog will teach you everything you need to
know in order to use this list as effectively as possible.
There is no such thing as good and bad memory

Its not my fault, I have a bad memory


learn vocabulary
WRONG! Truth be told, the people who can remember things as soon as
they read it and seem to have an awesome memory worked for it. Sure,
we arent all created equal and it can be slightly more difficult for some
to learn. But you want to know the truth? Only two elements really matter
when it comes to learning a language :

How you learn
How motivated you are

The bad memory argument is nothing else than an excuse. Unless you
9
suffer from some kind of disease, how effective your memory is mainly
depends on the way you use it and train it. As harsh as it may sound, its
actually a very good news. It means you can become good at
remembering too. All you need is love motivation.

Three steps to an awesome memory
Remember how you learnt your native language as a kid? You didnt
repeat a list of vocabulary for hours, no instead you spent days listening
to people talking around you. Unfamiliar sounds progressively became
words, and unknown words known words. Then you repeated those
words you heard, again and again untill you could finally speak. Your
native language is the one you know the best after all, so why not learn a
second language the same way you learnt it?
1) Always learn words from context

Think about it, there are many inconvenients to learning a word in
isolation :

You have no idea how to use it
Its harder to memorize
You may learn a word that no one uses

remember vocabulary
Remember that strange list of vocabulary your teacher asked you to learn
by heart? That list of words you never read or heard anywhere but in that
10
list. Many words are very specific and absolutely useless to most people.
These are not the words you want to learn when you study a language.
Instead you want to learn the words that people actually use everyday.
Thats exactly what you do if you learn words from context. Instead of
picking some random words in a dictionary, you learn words you read in
a book, heard in a movie or saw in the street. Real words used by real
people in everyday situations.
On top of that, the context in which you discovered the words helps you
remember it more easily, and when the time comes to use it, you know
exactly how to do that.
If you use a SRS software (see below), you can directly add sentences to it
which has many benefits compared to adding a single word. Among
them :

You learn the word in context
You learn the phrase structure
You learn expressions
You learn grammar by observing

2) Be regular
Multiple studies have shown the benefits of regularity to memorize.
When it comes to learning, 20 minutes everyday are better than 2 hours
once a week.
The words learnt with regularity are much more likely to remain in your
memory than the ones you reviewed only once. Now you certainly
wonder how to review words everyday and organize all that. Well, some
softwares do that perfectly.

3) Get exposure to your target language
Its essential that you spend a lot of time reading and listening to your
target langugae. That way you will not only discover new useful words,
but reading and hearing words you just learnt will help you memorize
them for good. In addition to that, listening to the sound of the language
11
you learn will train your ear and your brain and make it easier for you to
pronounce the language correctly.


One software to rule them all : the magic of SRS
memrise
Okay now you know how to associate words with ideas and pictures and
how to better remember. But how do you study all those words
with pictures? Printing every word you learn would be long and boring,
so here is a better solution : use a SRS software.
SRS stands for Spaced Repetition System. Simply said, these softwares
manage the words for you and ask you to study them just before you
start to forget them. This allows for a long term memorization.

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals
of time between subsequent review of previously learned material in order to
exploit the psychological spacing effect. Wikipedia

Spaced repetition softwares are extremely practical because they allow
you to memorize lots of vocabulary without spending hours doing it. It
never takes me more than 20 minutes per day. And you can do that
everywhere, in the subway, at home, while waiting for your bus etc.
All you have to do is enter the vord you want to learn (preferably in a
sentence), its translation, and if possible an association. Then the
software will tell you when you need to study. Now, here are a few
12
softwares you can use :

Memrise.com

Memrise is certainly the most user friendly SRS software. Its a website as
well as an iphone and android app on which people share courses. For
example there are many courses to learn basic French vocabulary. In
addition to these courses already created, you are free to create your
own. Memrise tells you when to study to make it easier for you. Apps are
also available for IOS and android.
Memrise is cool to get started, but if you want to study more seriously,
you may want to switch to anki, which is much more flexible.
Discover French courses on memrise!


Anki

Like memrise, anki is a SRS software. You can download it on your
computer or smartphone. Its less user-friendly but much more powerful
and flexible.
Called king of the SRS, anki is the favorite of many language lovers.

Mosalingua : the recommended solution for beginners
Mosalingua is like anki and memrise an application using the SRS
system. Its different though as it guides you through the learning
process. Concretely the app asks you how well you speak French and
then suggests vocabulary to learn. In addition to that, some very good
advice and bonuses become available as you learn more and more
words. Its a paid app but is really worth it in my opinion. Unfortunately,
it is only available on android and IOS devices, although a web version is
on the way.

What if you could easily remember lots of words?

Imagine how much faster you could learn if you had an awesome
memory, if you were the kind of person who only needs to read a text to
remember it. You would be surprise by how easy it actually is to have a
good memory.
In fact, contrary to the popular belief, there is no such thing as bad
memory. There are only people who know how to learn and people who
dont.
How to learn is precisely what Anthony Metivier, creator of the Magnetic
Memory method teaches you in his online course.

With these softwares and learning advice in mind, learning should now
be considerably easier.
I strongly recommend you to use these softwares to learn the 100 most
frequently used French words.
