These four charts give a French beginner the basics for the wall or the notebook. The alphabet chart lists the 26 letters with their French names and an example word for each, and a strip along the bottom shows the five accent marks that change spelling and sound: acute, grave, circumflex, tréma and cédille.
The numbers chart runs from 1 to 20, then gives the tens up to 100, and a short panel of the numbers that trip learners up, such as vingt et un and quatre-vingt-onze. Footnotes explain the et rule and the s in quatre-vingts, and note that Belgium and Switzerland use septante and nonante.
The days and months chart sets the week and the year side by side, written in lowercase as French does. The colors chart shows swatches with the masculine and feminine forms next to each other, with a note on orange and marron, which do not change.
Pair the charts with listening and speaking practice: the page shows spelling, and your voice shows how it sounds.

Frequently asked questions
Why are some French words on the colors chart the same for masculine and feminine?
Words that already end in -e, such as rouge and jaune, do not change, and color words taken from nouns, such as orange and marron, stay the same too. Others add an -e or change their ending: bleu becomes bleue and blanc becomes blanche.
Are the French numbers different in Belgium and Switzerland?
Yes. In Belgium and Switzerland, 70 is septante and 90 is nonante, and in parts of Switzerland 80 is huitante. France uses soixante-dix, quatre-vingts and quatre-vingt-dix, which is what the chart shows.
Why are the days written in lowercase?
French does not capitalize days of the week or months unless they start a sentence. Students used to English often add capitals, so the chart shows the lowercase forms to build the habit.
