French reading practice, with a next step

Build enough vocabulary to follow the text

Choose the level whose examples you can mostly follow. These are editorial learning selections, not placement-test results.

• A1 French Vocabulary: Concrete Words You Can Use

  Start with introductions, places, times and simple requests, then try the original dialogue and answer checks.

• A2 French Vocabulary for Routine Exchanges

  Follow a fictional workshop booking through service vocabulary, costs, changes and clarification.

• B1 French Vocabulary for Connected Accounts and Plans

  Practise the vocabulary used to recount events, explain an obstacle and describe a response.

• B2 French Vocabulary for Comparisons and Evidence

  Read an original text about options and evidence, with vocabulary for qualified viewpoints.

Find the evidence, not just the familiar word

Move from a short notice to a longer claim. After answering, point to the exact phrase that supports your choice.

• French Transport and City Vocabulary for Routes and Changes

  Prepare for stops, platforms, transfers and changes with written notices and explained exercises.

  Work through original teaching questions, then compare your evidence with the answer explanations. This is TEF-oriented practice, not a TCF paper.

Use word families without falling for look-alikes

The cognate browser gives you a word list. These guides add articles, context and meaning checks around that list.

• French-English Cognates in -tion: 12 Useful Nouns

  Learn nouns with their articles and combinations, then check the meaning in context.

• French-English False Friends: 12 Traps in Context

  Check misleading look-alikes against the sentence instead of trusting English spelling alone.

Review one reading attempt

1. Answer before checking the explanation. Keep a note of whether you were certain or guessing.
2. Find the sentence supporting the correct answer. Explain why the closest alternative does not fit.
3. Name the problem: missing vocabulary, a misleading look-alike, a connector, inference or pacing.
4. Use one relevant guide below, then try a fresh item. Recognising the answer from last time is not the same as understanding a new text.

Let the mistake choose your next step

Open the description closest to what happened. These are self-review routes, not an automated diagnosis.
