What you will learn

  1. French sounds: the alphabet, accents and pronunciation
    French spelling looks chaotic until you learn about ten rules, and then you can read almost any word aloud correctly. Hindi speakers already have two of the hardest sounds.
  2. Greetings and introducing yourself
    In France, walking into a shop without saying Bonjour is ruder than any grammar mistake you could make — and choosing tu or vous tells people exactly how you see them.
  3. Être and avoir: the two verbs you need first
    In French you don't are 20 years old and you don't are hungry — you have them. Two verbs, twelve forms, and most of your first sentences are built.
  4. Nouns, gender and articles: le, la, un, une
    Every French noun is masculine or feminine — a table, a phone, even a cup of tea — and the little word in front of it is how you show which. Hindi speakers already live with gender; you just need new labels.
  5. Numbers, dates and telling the time
    In France, 80 is said as 'four twenties' and 97 as 'four-twenty-ten-seven'. It sounds absurd until you notice Hindi numbers are just as irregular — and you learned those.
  6. Regular -er verbs in the present tense
    About 90% of French verbs end in -er and follow one pattern. Learn it with parler and you can conjugate thousands of verbs — and four of the six forms sound exactly the same.
  7. Asking questions in French
    French has three ways to ask the same question — raise your voice, add est-ce que, or flip the verb. Pick one and you can ask anything today; learn all three and you'll understand everyone.
  8. At the café and the market: food and shopping
    Je voudrais un café is the most useful sentence in French — and the difference between du pain and le pain is the grammar that lets you order anything, including 'no meat, please'.
