Description

Verbs are the beating heart of every French sentence — without them, you can't express actions, ask questions, share feelings, or describe your world. Most verb books bury you in dry conjugation tables and move on. This one doesn't. The French Verb Workbook for Beginners is your step-by-step adventure guide through every essential verb, tense, and mood you'll actually use in real life — from ordering coffee at a Paris café to describing your past, planning your future, and expressing your opinions with confidence. Stop being intimidated. Start conjugating.

Key Features

17 chapters structured across 3 clear parts — Present, Expanding Your Timeline, and Integrated Practice

Every chapter includes Zara's Travel Journal — real-world verb usage in authentic French contexts

Common Mistake flags, Lingo Studio Pro Tips, and Language Insight sections in every chapter

Uses standard international French — fully relevant for learners targeting France, Belgium, Switzerland, Québec, and the wider Francophone world

Is This Book Right For You?

This workbook is for adult beginners, self-taught learners, homeschool families, and travelers preparing for a French-speaking destination. It's also a solid brush-up for anyone who studied French before and wants to rebuild confidence with conjugation. If you've tried apps or classes and want a serious, structured step up — this is it. Works best alongside the French Short Stories and Creative Vocabulary Builder titles in the Lingo Studio series for a complete learning toolkit.

What You'll Learn

The Present Tense, Mastered (Chapters 1–7)

Build your foundation with -er, -ir, and -re verb families, essential irregular verbs (Être, Avoir, Aller, Faire), Boot Verbs, modal verbs (Pouvoir, Vouloir, Devoir), pronominal verbs, and expressing likes and dislikes with Aimer and Adorer.

Expanding Your Timeline (Chapters 8–14)

Travel through time — the Passé Composé for completed past actions, the Imparfait for ongoing or habitual past, common irregular verbs across both past tenses, the Futur Simple, the Conditionnel, verbs with prepositions (à, de, sur), and an introduction to the Subjonctif.

Integrated Practice (Chapters 15–17

Apply everything in real-world everyday situations. Mixed practice by difficulty and theme so you can test yourself the way real French actually works — with a full Answer Key to check your progress.

Real-World Context Throughout

Every chapter includes fill-in-the-blanks, sentence rewrites, translations, matching drills, mini-compositions, and Cultural Notes on French usage and regional differences.

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I'm Zara: travel blogger, accidental polyglot, and the person who once confidently asked for a horse-drawn carriage at a car hire desk in France. It made for an excellent French lesson.

I grew up in Melbourne, Australia, believing the best way to understand a culture is to stumble through it in its own language (mistakes, mispronunciations, and all). That belief became the Lingo Studio series.

Every title in the range grows from the same idea: real language, learned the way real travellers learn it, an approach I call the Learning Through Travel Method. Whether you pick up a short story, a verb workbook, a phrasebook, or a vocabulary builder, the goal is the same. You are not memorising a language. You are preparing for an adventure.

I am not a distant expert with a PhD. I am the traveller who made every mistake in the book, literally, and turned them into lessons worth remembering.

My journey is your classroom. Allons-y!
