French Vocabulary
Are you studying French for work, school or just for fun? If so, we offer you free interactive quizzes that can help you expand your French vocabulary and have a little fun while you're at it!
💬 Basic Phrases
Embark on a fun and interactive journey where you'll learn essential French words and phrases. Whether you're a beginner or just brushing up, these quizzes will help you memorize greetings, questions, and everyday expressions.
🎨 Colors
Ready to learn French colors? This quiz set covers everything from everyday essentials like rouge and bleu to more nuanced shades like argenté and vif — so you can describe the world around you in French with confidence.
You'll master 20 French color words, organized into two thematic groups: the vivid essentials like noir, blanc, rouge, and bleu that appear constantly in everyday conversation, and the more expressive shades — vif (vivid), doré (golden), foncé (dark), crème (cream-colored) — that add precision and style to your descriptions. These words come up everywhere: shopping for clothes, describing a room, admiring a painting, or simply noticing the world around you in French.
Each session takes about five minutes and follows a clear progression. You'll begin by reading French color words and recognizing their English meanings, then practice recalling the French form from an English cue. Later sessions train your ear: you'll identify colors from spoken audio alone and learn to spell them correctly from pronunciation. Sentence-gap questions then challenge you to use each word in a real French context. Throughout the set, earlier words spiral back in harder question types — so nothing is forgotten, only reinforced.
By the time you finish all eight sessions, you'll hear argenté and instantly know it means silver, spell transparent from a spoken cue alone, and confidently complete a sentence like Le ciel est très clair aujourd'hui. — every color, every modality, total command.
🧑🤝🧑 Describing People
In a few minutes, you'll be able to describe people in French — how they look, how they feel, and what kind of person they are.
This quiz set covers 30 essential French adjectives for describing people. You'll learn words for physical appearance like grand (tall/big), mince (slim), and beau (handsome); words for emotions like joyeux (happy), triste (sad), and en colère (angry); and words for personality like sympathique (likeable), travailleur (hardworking), and paresseux (lazy). These are the words you need to describe a character in a film, write a profile, or talk about someone you know in French.
The quiz set is organised into three units of short drills, followed by four cumulative reviews. Each session takes about five minutes. You'll start with reading and active recall, then move on to listening comprehension, spelling from audio, and using words in real sentence contexts. Words you've already met keep coming back in later sessions in harder question types — so every word gets reinforced multiple times across the set.
By the end, you'll be able to hear craintif or affectueux spoken aloud and write them correctly, recognise égoïste or sérieux in a sentence, and reach for the right word the moment a gap needs filling.
