Words and phrases
Two tiles on the Self Study screen cover the vocabulary that has no hub of its own:
- Phrases — set phrases, and the example sentences of the verbs and nouns. This is the largest pool in the French course: many thousands of sentences, depending on the tenses you study. See Phrases.
- Other Vocabulary — the small single words that are not verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions or numerals. In French these are articles, determiners, conjunctions and interjections. See Other Vocabulary.
Both hubs have Study and Practice sections. The drill is a flashcard deck for meaning, in either direction.
External dictionary lookups
The pages of French verbs, nouns, phrases and other words have a book icon in the toolbar. Tap it for a menu of three online dictionaries: Linguee, WordReference and Reverso. Choose one to look the word up. On iPhone and iPad the page opens in a Safari sheet inside the app; on the Mac it opens in your browser. Linguee and Reverso translate into Dutch when Dutch is your app language, and into English otherwise; WordReference always uses English.
Which dictionaries appear is set under Settings → French → Dictionary services. The switches are shared with the Spanish course: turning one off there turns it off here too. If you switch off Linguee, WordReference and Reverso, the book disappears.
