50 Essential French Verbs You'll Use Every Day (Beginner · A1 · English Shown)

Learn the 50 most useful French verbs — the "doing words" you'll reach for every single day. 🇫🇷 No experience needed: for each verb you'll see the English, then a native French voice says the verb and a real example sentence slowly, twice, with the conjugated form highlighted so you can see exactly how it works. Just listen and repeat out loud. We've grouped all 50 into 8 easy clusters so they actually stick — the big four (être, avoir, aller, faire), daily life, getting around, talking & thinking, want/can/must, with your hands, out & about, and the body in motion. Along the way you'll pick up the patterns that unlock thousands more verbs: the regular -ER family, the irregular essentials, and the three little helper verbs (vouloir, pouvoir, devoir). 📚 Want all 50 verbs as a printable cheat-sheet (French + English, with the example sentences) plus the growing Cocoon library?
