I’m happy to share that the first official Vocabilis course is now live:
French for Travel — Practical French for Real Situations
This course is designed for learners who want to feel more confident in common travel situations: at the airport, in a hotel, in a café, in a pharmacy, on public transport, while shopping, asking for directions, and handling small everyday problems while traveling.
But it is not just a phrasebook.
Learn the building blocks first
Many travel courses give you full phrases immediately and expect you to memorize them as fixed sentences.
Vocabilis takes a different approach.
Each topic is built in layers:
Words → Expressions → Practical phrases
Before you learn full phrases, you first meet the key words and useful expressions that make those phrases easier to understand, remember, and reuse.
For example, in travel situations, you do not only need to memorize one sentence. You need to recognize and reuse small building blocks such as:
- where is…
- I need…
- I would like…
- by card
- here
- how much…
This makes the course more flexible. You are not just memorizing isolated phrases. You are gradually building the language you need to understand and use similar phrases yourself.
What is included
The first version of French for Travel includes:
- 17 chapters
- 112 lessons
- 1,448 learning cards
- core travel vocabulary
- useful French expressions
- practical situational phrases
- example sentences for vocabulary and expression cards
The course starts with Core French for Travel, a shared foundation of useful words, expressions, patterns, and polite phrases.
After that, you can study the topics you need most.
Study real travel situations
The course covers common travel scenarios such as:
- Airport
- Hotel
- Café and restaurant
- Transport
- Shopping
- Pharmacy
- Emergencies
- Directions
- and more
Each topic begins with its own Words and Expressions lessons, followed by practical phrase lessons.
This means you can study the course step by step, or jump directly to the situation you need.
Learn with Vocabilis
The course is available inside Vocabilis Online, where you can study cards, listen to pronunciation, review what you have learned, and gradually move useful French into long-term memory.
Vocabilis is built around active recall and spaced repetition, but the course itself is practical and situation-based.
The goal is simple:
Help you understand and remember the French you are likely to need while traveling.
