About General and Basic Vocabulary
GoConqr OriginalWhat you will find
This page sits in the Getting Started strand of French language. Most of it is vocabulary, and flashcard decks make up the largest share. Topics range from everyday themes to more advanced word lists.
- Everyday topics: French Clothing Vocabulary, French Weather, La famille and Places in French cover clothes, weather, family and the town.
- Shops and buildings: the quiz French: Shop Names asks you to match a baker, butcher or delicatessen to la boulangerie, la boucherie or la charcuterie. GCSE French - Buildings covers words such as l'église, l'escalier and la mairie.
- Small but useful words: Important Words lists déjà, toujours, souvent, pourtant and cependant.
- Higher-level lists: A-level French Vocabulary includes phrases like avoir besoin de, avoir envie de and avoir du mal à.
Where to start
If you are new to the topic, begin with a short flashcard deck such as French Clothing Vocabulary or Important Words. Go through it a few times, saying each word aloud. Then move to a topic you need for class, such as food, home or work.
Students working towards GCSE French may like the quiz GCSE AQA French: Essential Vocab, which tests words like meilleur, pire and à part. Those aiming higher can try A-level French Vocabulary. Some resources also mention DELF and WJEC French GCSE.
Using quizzes and mind maps together
Mind maps show a topic at a glance. AS French Vocabulary: La Musique pairs each French word with its English meaning, such as un auditeur for listener. Read a map first, cover the English side and test yourself. Then take a quiz on the same theme and note which words slip.
Go back to the flashcards for only those words. This loop of map, quiz and flashcards is quicker than rereading a whole list.
For teachers
Teachers can pick decks and quizzes by topic and share them as starter or revision tasks. The resources were made by GoConqr users, so skim each one before setting it.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Try a short flashcard deck such as French Clothing Vocabulary or Important Words. Both use everyday words and are easy to test yourself on. Once those feel comfortable, move on to a topic from class, such as food, shops or the home, and check it with a quiz.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you create a free account, it also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Most of the material is at secondary level. Listed resources mention GCSE French, WJEC French GCSE, A-level French and DELF. For example, GCSE AQA French: Essential Vocab is a quiz, and A-level French Vocabulary is a flashcard deck. Check each resource against your own course.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover topics such as music, food, places in town, household chores, professions, countries and nationalities, and the home. AS French Vocabulary: La Musique lists words with their English meanings. They work well for a quick look before you take a quiz.
How can teachers use this page?
Teachers can choose topic decks, quizzes and mind maps to set as starters, homework or revision. There are quizzes on shop names, clothes, colours, family and town. Because users made them, read through each resource first to be sure it fits your class.
What if my topic is missing?
Look through the related decks and mind maps first, as many topics overlap, such as food, home and town. If nothing fits, you can build your own flashcards, quiz or mind map using a free account and keep it for your own revision.
