*The English content of the separate language worksheet sets is the same* so children of different nationalities can learn English side-by-side in classrooms.**

Welcome to the French pages at Project HappyChild. Our free French worksheets currently receive over two million page views per year. We've aimed to make French *easier* to learn, because all the vocabulary is grouped by "themes". Whatever you're looking for, you should find it here! Well, more or less :)

Many children and teenagers find French boring because they're expected to express themselves in five-year-old vocabulary ("My name is ... I live in ... I go shopping"). Our free worksheets make it possible to learn to say rather more than that ... whether about food and drink, your home, garden, family, the human body [everything from the body's inner systems to hair, make-up and clothing], animals, birds and insects [including animal sounds], travel, holidays and sightseeing, cars and driving, tools and equipment, or school, office, sports and leisure, shopping, trees, countryside and general chit-chat. All in easy-to-manage blocks, each with about 10 new words or phrases.

The French verb worksheets are also linked from the huge table below - the English and French verb names take you to the index for that verb, and the numbered columns take you to the individual tenses (column 1 is present tense, etc.).

All the worksheets can be used for both English-French and French-English. This is the *first* dual-language area in a huge project called "Any Language to English", the basic framework of which is now on line - 800+ verb and vocabulary worksheets which can be used for translation into *any* other language. See the Translators page for details of other dual-language sets currently in preparation. Other offers of help from language professionals much appreciated :)

All pages of our Guide to Basic French Grammar are also now on line.

Each French worksheet is designed to print onto a single A4 sheet [using IE4/IE5 browser setting for "medium text"], and may be used as a non-commercial education resource, free of charge, provided only that each worksheet is printed / photocopied without modification and includes the whole page as it appears on line.
[N.B. - In "My Computer - Internet Options - Advanced - Printing", de-select "print background colours and images"
so as to be able to print a clean black-on-white copy of each page with less use of your ink cartridge.]

It is recommended, when printing, to use the option "print pages 1 to 1" (rather than "print all pages") as each worksheet is designed to print onto a single sheet ["portrait", i.e. shorter side at the top] but because of the html may sometimes overlap onto a second for printing [the second (blank) sheet should not be required]. Draft quality is usually sufficient for a good copy - however use "presentation" if making originals for photocopying.
