How it plays
01
Play a round

Fifty questions with four choices each. The settings take you from Nice to Provence; play whenever you want to practise.

02
Check & score

Answers sit upside down at the foot of each page. Check your choices without searching through the book.

03
Beat yesterday

Keep your score, return to the questions you missed and try another round.

Instead of simply reading another explanation, you make a choice, check it and notice the pattern behind a mistake. Use the rounds to find what you want to review. A pencil-and-paper companion to the French you read and hear.

At the café counter, which sounds more polite?

Donne-moi un café.  Je veux un café.  Je voudrais un café, s’il vous plaît.

The polite conditional over je veux, and café is masculine. A small choice to notice, practise and use in your next conversation.

The author

Camille Aubert is French and writes for FrenchToEnglish.com. She spent years watching English speakers trip on the same twenty-one mistakes — je veux at the bakery, c’est where il est belongs, the partitive that quietly vanishes. One summer she turned the whole list into a game. You’re holding it.
