Language card French – Prêt au départ !
Note: The hard copies are in Dutch. Digital versions of our cards—available in English, Spanish, French, and German—can be found on Amazon and include audio.
This French language card is perfect for beginners. It closely matches Year 1 of our Prêt au départ ! course, but is also ideal for self-study or for use alongside other courses. We have also included a few topics on the card that in many courses are not covered until Year 2. In our method, we aim to introduce students to material passively at an early stage: they use it once with the help of the language card before it is actively taught.
At the bottom of this page, you’ll find an overview of the contents of this language card.

Smart use of color
For the different languages, we use the same colors as much as possible on the language cards and in the app. For example, to indicate gender (masculine, feminine) or the endings of conjugated verbs.
Part of our course
This language card closely follows the book and app in our course. It is referenced continuously throughout. These language cards contain the core material for the relevant school year, but they are also used in various exercises designed to give students a passive introduction to topics that will only need to be learned actively later on. The card also works well on its own or alongside other courses, especially in combination with the many matching worksheets and language puzzles we offer!
Listen to the language card in the app!
If you follow the course in the app, you will often come across exercises like “31 secondes pour la carte”. Here, you are prompted to take a list from the French language card, listen to it, and read along. This way, you’ll learn them faster and train yourself to get the correct pronunciation right away!

New spelling
In our course we are switching to the new spelling, which also seems to be gaining more and more ground in education in France. In our textbooks, when new spelling is introduced, almost everywhere a comment is made about the old spelling, which is still accepted.
