General and Basic Vocabulary mind maps

General and Basic Vocabulary mind maps

The maps on this page group French vocabulary by theme. “French Food” includes vegetables, rice and cheeses, while “La télé” lists types of television programme. The map on vocabulary at home brings together words for rooms, furniture and other things around the house.

Choose a starting point

For familiar words, the map covering months and days is a starting point: its branches bring related terms together. For a class topic, “Household Chores - Les Tâches Ménagères” pairs French phrases with English meanings. Teachers can use a topic map as material for a revision task, checking its content first.

Revise with a map

Study one branch at a time, then cover the English meanings and recall them from the French. Return to the branches that need more attention. When you want to test words in another way, switch to a quiz on the unit page; flashcards can help you revisit individual terms.

Choose a map and work through a branch that interests you.
