English vocabulary practice for French speakers

French speakers may recognize many English words, but recognition is not the same as confident use. OxWord helps learners practice English vocabulary by level and review words until recall becomes faster.

What French speakers should focus on

  • Words that look similar but are used differently
  • Pronunciation differences between spelling and sound
  • Common verbs and phrasal patterns
  • Active recall through short quizzes

Suggested path

  • A1 for essential everyday vocabulary
  • A2 for travel, work and simple explanations
  • B1 for opinions and longer conversations
  • B2 and C1 for precise advanced English
