French Games

I always recommend that you learn French during your free time, and online games are an excellent way to do so. You can play many different games in ten minutes and see noticeable progress. My greatest challenge is finding time to learn French on a regular basis, but these games make it simple.

The majority of written French is protected.

Online games cover a wide range of topics, including vocab, grammar, spelling, gender, and accent placement. Fill in the blanks is a common game style. You are given a sentence and a list of possible terms, and you must choose the most appropriate one. This also applies to grammatical and spelling systems.

It’s entertaining!

Is there any other reason? Examine your options for fast French practise on a regular basis: news clips, blogs, or flashcards? These are fantastic, but you should also have some fun games. French online games, including basic mobile games, can be addictive. Have fun!

6 Sweet Sites for Online French Games to Game-ify Your French

Dialects in the Digital Age

This is probably the most user-friendly resource I’ve come across. Digital Dialects is a company that offers free games in a variety of languages. There are also audio games, which are indicated by little megaphone icons, in addition to the traditional graphical games. For example, clicking on “Food” will take you to a game in which food vocabulary is spoken aloud and you must choose the item that you hear.

Colors, greetings, numbers, telling time, simple phrases, and other topics are covered in other French games. There’s also a section for advanced students with things like verbs and vocabulary builders.

I like how Digital Dialects categorises games into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Let’s pretend we want to learn how to tell time in French. Select “Telling the Time” and then “learn words,” “play only words,” “play with audio,” or “different game” from the drop-down menu.

When you’re finished with the games, Digital Dialects has a list of great French books and links for you to check out.

French-games.net is a website dedicated to French games.

The website French-games.net is enormous! But then again, what do you expect from a place called “French Games”? The website will walk you through the process of discovering games that are suitable for you. By selecting “1. Start,” you can choose your level of difficulty and then a subject. After that, you can choose to attend a lesson or go straight to the games. It’s like getting a complete education in one sitting.

It’s a nice touch that this site offers an optional lesson (written or audio) to help you learn the material faster. After you’ve finished the games, you’ll have to take an exam, which can be multiple choice or written. The animations and audio in all of the games are excellent. Since it connects the games to traditional learning methods, I suggest following the four-step tutorial found at the top of the site (1. Start, 2. Lessons, 3. Games, 4. Tests).

Before moving on to a new subject, French-games.net recommends scoring an 8+ on a test and retaking tests two weeks after passing them the first time. One full lesson per day will help you make significant progress!

Good day, world

Hello World, while being geared toward children, has a wide range of games and activities that can be enjoyed by people of all levels and ages. The point-and-click games are simple and colourful, with topics like science, puzzles, history, songs, and even Fontaine fables that you won’t find on other French game pages.

While many of these tools aren’t technically “games,” they do include a variety of learning experiences with strong visual and audio elements. The logic puzzles are my favourites!

In reality, in the “Logic Puzzles” segment, try Les filles et les chapeaux (The girls and the hats). Listen to three French sentences by pressing the green “play” button in the top left corner. Click and drag the things above to give each of the girls a hat and an object based on what you hear. When you click on any thing, it will display its name in French and play clear audio of the spoken word. When you’ve done assigning items to the children, click the red check mark to double-check your job (to the right of the green play button). What a unique game!

Adjust your language to French in the pull-down “My language is:” area on the left-hand menu for a more immersive experience.

Polly Lingual is a linguist.

Polly Lingual has a user-friendly format: You pick your difficulty level first, and then you’re taken to a series of lessons, most of which are based on real-life scenarios. This is a particularly useful resource for those planning a trip to France.

For example, the “Start Lesson,” “Hangman,” and “Download PDF” buttons are located at the top of the “Meeting People” lesson, with sound bytes below to choose from the phrase list.

Different games and types of knowledge are used in various lessons. The “How Are You?” tutorial, for example, begins with a brief grammar description, then moves on to vocab and phrases (with translations and audio), and finally to a video explanation of the difference between tu and vous (you). This subject includes “Memorama,” “Alphabet Soup,” “Whack-a-Word,” and “Hangman,” in addition to the “Start Lesson” button.

You can scroll down after each lesson (multiple-choice quiz) to see “You had trouble with these words,” followed by a list of the words or phrases you struggled with the most.

The number of free lessons in the beginner French course is the largest. Otherwise, if the top right corner of the lesson has a blue passport symbol, it means the lesson needs a Polly Passport subscription, which costs $2.99 per month or $9.96 a year. You can always subscribe for a Polly Passport if you like the Polly Lingual format but want access to all of the lessons.
