Learn The Essential French Verbs Like A Local Today

Learning a new language is not very difficult. You only need to get the basics right, and the rest will follow. Once you know the essential French verbs, just add the most common phrases and you are ready to speak.

People who tend to have problems when trying to learn a new language don't start with the basics. It seems obvious, but actually it's counter intuitive. Student thinks that they need to take hours and hours of grammar lessons to be able to speak another language.

Let's review the most common used verbs in the French language.

You need to know that even if there are thousands of French verbs, only a few of those are used on a daily basis. Obviously, you are not trying to learn French to become a professor, so just stick with the basis.

Just use the verbs that are used more than the rest. Like this, you will quickly be able to speak in real situation. The only difficulty is that you need to know how to conjugate them. This is another story because French conjugation is far more difficult than English.

Here are the five most common French verbs: Le verbe (the verb) être (to be), avoir (to have), faire (to do), dire (to tell), et (and) aller (to go).

Master these five verbs, and just learn a few words everyday. I like the number ten, so try to learn ten new words a day. After a few week, you will be able to have a French conversation with anyone (including me!).

Let's conjugate the verb être (to be) so you can start right away:

Le Verbe Etre au present (The Verb To Be At The Present tense)

Je suis (I am)

Tu es (You are)

Il/Elle est (He/She is)

Nous sommes (We are)

Vous êtes (You are)

Ils/Elles sont (they are)

Once you memorize the verb être (this will only take a few minutes of your time), and then, the other four most common used verbs, your learning curve will increase considerably.

Becoming fluent in French all boils down to mastering the basics.
