Question

How do you learn more words in French that are more useful?

Answer 1

You can think of words that you commonly use in the language you speak and translate them to French. One way I do this is by creating flashcards of things like animals and food ingredients that have both the English and French translations of that word.

Answer 2

You can try watching TV shows that take place in a familiar setting (high school shows, for example) and play the French version. This way, you will learn French phrases used in an everyday context.
