Key Stage 3 French

About KS3 Fast French

Our KS3 Fast French quizzes are written to help pupils in Years 7 to 9 build vocabulary quickly and use it accurately. Each quiz focuses on a small word set, so learners can practise little and often, improve recall, and gain confidence for classroom tasks such as speaking, reading and writing.

Because the quizzes are short and topic-based, they are ideal for regular retrieval practice. Students see a word or phrase and choose the correct translation, then use the instant feedback to learn from mistakes straight away. Parents can support revision easily too, even if they do not speak French.

This section covers high-frequency vocabulary groups, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and key phrases. It is a practical route into language learning, supporting the habits that help students succeed later at GCSE, such as accurate spelling, word order awareness and confident use of common structures.

For official guidance, see the Government’s KS3 Languages curriculum document: Languages programmes of study: key stage 3 (GOV.UK).
