Key Stage 3 French

About KS3 Fast French

Fast French is a set of quick, engaging quizzes designed to help students aged 11–14 (Years 7–9) build vocabulary and confidence. Each quiz contains 10 questions with instant answers and helpful hints, so learners can spot gaps and revise efficiently. There are 30 quizzes across common word groups – from verbs and nouns to adjectives and adverbs – aligned with the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum.

Quizzes are practical and focused: you’ll see a word in French (or occasionally in English) and choose the correct translation. It’s a lively alternative to memorising long word lists, and it works brilliantly for short, frequent practice sessions. Want to jump in? Try popular starters such as Adjectives, Nationalities and Colours , brush up on time expressions with Verbs in the Past Tense , learn everyday talk in Key Phrases , or revise animal nouns in Nouns – Animals .

Every quiz is quick to play on desktop, tablet or mobile. They’re ideal for homework, catch-up and pre-test revision, and many include a helpful link to BBC Bitesize for further study. Use them little and often – that’s the fastest route to remembering new words and using them with accuracy.
