New Course : 100 Most Common Words
Hi Guys,
I've been wondering if the best course is the introductory one, so I've created a new "first port of call" for learning french. This one will teach you the first 100 words in order of frequency - so you start to understand the most percentage of French ASAP.
I did this when I was learning Norwegian and it helped a lot.
Check it out at:

Unfortunately the search feature is broken atm so about 5 words are missing because they aren't showing up, but that should be fixed soon.
If people like it I will extend it to 200, 500, etc. - and also add in conjugations of verbs, because it's slightly pointless just learning 'aller' without 'je vais' :)

I did of course mean just http://www.memrise.com/set/10020644/100-most-common-words-2/ -- you won't be able to edit it unless you're a French moderator. Sorry!
Posted by AdamChainz 4/3/12 (1 year ago)I've just started it. Not all have audio yet which would be helpful and some that do are really really quiet whereas others are just fine?
Like the idea though particularly those pesky little words that actually construct a sentence!
I did start one course with verb conjugations but as there seemed no 'method' to learning how the conjugations worked I strugged with it and tend to use books to work on those now, plus the other one on here had no audio so to my mind is next to useless.
Posted by Cookewitch 4/3/12 (1 year ago)Yeah I just added the words from the community dictionary so far, so the audio problem is on all courses. I can't add audio myself atm, but we definitely need some more speakers to help out!
Learning conjugations from a table makes comparison very easy, but in the end it's more about knowing each one intricately and being able to access them 'randomly', so I think the flashcard approach can help.
Posted by AdamChainz 4/4/12 (1 year ago)I hope you're right as I'm rubbish at verb conjugations and in desparate need of a way for them to 'sink in' to my teeny tiny brain!
Posted by Cookewitch 4/5/12 (1 year ago)Just updated! Now with the missing words from the 100 list.
Posted by AdamChainz 4/22/12 (1 year ago)Hi - like the idea! I found that a number of definitions are essentially the same - so it is very hard to write the right answer!
Posted by reizen 4/23/12 (1 year ago)Couple of these have been fixed by Ben, du and des, and au and aux.....one of the new ones for that does it now though....pretty annoying!
Posted by Cookewitch 4/23/12 (1 year ago)Yeah they're getting on with the duplicates now.
