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.
