10,000 most common French words

Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday French, with its meaning in English.

French elides constantly: l’, d’, c’, j’, n’ all appear here in their own right, because that is how they show up in speech. Spelling and pronunciation diverge more than in most languages on this list, so hearing these words matters as much as reading them.

The most common words in French, most frequent first, with IPA pronunciations and English meanings.

CSV opens straight into Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, and imports into Anki. For a printable copy, choose a size above and use your browser's print command — the page prints as a clean list, and every script comes out right.

Frequencies come from the OpenSubtitles corpus via hermitdave/FrequencyWords; English meanings and IPA pronunciations from Wiktextract, with eSpeak NG filling in pronunciations Wiktionary lacks. The data is CC BY-SA 4.0, and so is this list — keep the credit if you pass it on. Example sentences come from Tatoeba, CC BY 2.0 FR. The raw data file is here too.

The speaker plays the voice the LangX app uses for that language — synthesised, not a native speaker, so treat it as a guide.

Words stick once you use them

A list gets you the first few hundred. Saying them to someone who speaks French is what makes them stay.
