Learn the #2 French Verb (AVOIR): 200 Phrases to Say Anything · Beginner Part 2

The second verb every French beginner needs is avoir (to have) — and once you learn it as ready-made phrases, you can suddenly say a huge amount. 🇫🇷 In this lesson you'll hear 200 everyday French phrases built from avoir, in every form: I have, you have, he/she has, we/they have… your age (in French you HAVE your years!), the famous avoir expressions — j'ai faim (I'm hungry), j'ai froid (I'm cold), j'ai besoin de… (I need…), j'ai envie de… (I feel like…), j'ai peur de… (I'm afraid of…) — plus "there is" (il y a), the negatives (I don't have…), the question forms (do you have…?), and even the PAST TENSE (j'ai mangé — I ate), because avoir is the verb that builds it. Each phrase comes in English first, then twice in slow, clear, native French — with the words lined up so you see exactly how French works. Just listen and repeat. This isn't a list to memorise. Avoir is a PATTERN: once you know "J'ai ___", you can drop in any word and say a hundred things of your own. That's how French actually clicks. 🔵 Level: A1–A2 — Beginner.
