What’s inside and how it helps

This book groups words into familiar themes such as “At Home,” “Actions,” “Food,” and “Colours,” so learners can absorb vocabulary in meaningful chunks. Each illustrated scene presents dozens of labeled objects and actions, encouraging visual association and context-based memory.

To support correct pronunciation and listening skills, every word can be heard on the Usborne Quicklinks website, read by a native French speaker.
