Fascinating Fact:

un passeport means “a passport”, une carte d’identité means “an ID card”.

In GCSE Fast French, travel vocabulary helps you cope with real-life scenarios like getting around, finding places, and sorting practical details. It also supports speaking role-plays and writing tasks about holidays, weekends, and plans.

Key Terms

  • Travel vocabulary: A set of words you use to talk about journeys, transport, and places you visit, so your French sounds clear and specific.
  • Reservation: A booking you make for something like a seat, room, or activity, often used with travel nouns in GCSE writing and speaking.
  • Transport hub: A place where people connect to travel services, such as a station, airport, or port, useful for describing where you are going and how you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I ask for a ticket in French for GCSE?

A simple GCSE-friendly way is to ask politely for a ticket and add a destination or type of ticket. You can also include a time word like “today” or “return” to add detail.

What French words help me talk about travelling around a town?

Learn common place nouns, transport nouns, and direction words so you can say where you are, where you are going, and how you get there. This is useful for role-plays and photo cards.

How can I describe travel plans in GCSE French speaking?

Use a future plan phrase, then add travel nouns for transport and places, plus a reason or opinion. Adding a time phrase like “next weekend” makes your answer clearer and more exam-ready.
