French

Most courses teach a tidy textbook French that nobody actually speaks. You learn "nous mangeons," then a real French person says "on mange," swallows half the letters, and drops a "du coup" into every third sentence. That gap between classroom French and street French is where most learners stall.

This deck closes it. 4,600+ words across all four CEFR levels, A1 to B2, each with a real example sentence and a word-by-word breakdown so you see exactly how it is built. Two voices, male and female, read every word and every example, so you learn what French sounds like and not just how it looks on paper. Nouns are color-coded by gender from the first card, so "le" and "la" stop being a guessing game.

It goes where textbooks won't: the spoken French of "chuis," "y'a" and "apéro," the argot and idioms of real conversation, and the bureaucratic French of the mairie, the CPAM and a grève. 210 pattern drills train the machinery most learners avoid, the subjunctive, si-clauses and spoken shortcuts, until they are automatic. A set of audio-only Listening cards trains your ear to follow French at natural speed. Cultural notes explain how the words really live: what 100% Santé covers, why the apéro matters, and how the paperwork actually works.

Coverage is validated against the CEFR reference levels for French, so "A1 to B2" is an honest claim, not a marketing one. Whether you are moving to France, brushing up for travel, or pushing past the intermediate plateau, this is the French that actually comes out of French mouths.
