Learn French

One of the most important things to do when you start learning French is to understand basic vocabulary, phrases, and numbers. Beginners usually start practicing words that will help them when meeting French people, ask basic questions, and introduce themselves. Using flashcards will also help you to remember French phrases that you’ve previously learned.
