French Colours

Start with color words

The French Colours flashcards pair French color words with English meanings. They include bleu for blue, rouge for red and jaune for yellow. Start by looking at the French words and recalling their English meanings, then work in the other direction.

The deck also shows forms such as bleu and bleue. Another flashcard deck sets out masculine and feminine forms, including blanc and blanche, and vert and verte. Use these cards to notice which forms change and to practice recognizing them.

Move from cards to quizzes

After studying the cards, try the quiz about colors in animal phrases. It includes questions about a brown dog, a green frog and a white animal, as well as a true-or-false question about violette. The later lesson quiz uses phrases such as black rats and a yellow and orange giraffe.

Use the quizzes to see how familiar color words appear in phrases. If a word or form is difficult to recall, return to a flashcard deck and look for it there before trying the quiz again.

Use a map alongside the cards

The mind maps titled Colors in French bring color words together in a visual layout. They include pairs such as red and rouge, green and vert, and white and blanc. A map can help you see several words at once, while the cards give you a way to practice individual meanings and forms.

French Colours is a section of General and Basic Vocabulary in French language. Within this section, the cards, maps and quizzes offer different ways to work with the same color vocabulary. Choose a map to study alongside a quiz.
