The Cloud-by-Cloud Method

Learn French horizontally
with a French Teacher.

I'm quite sure that no-one knows all the words of a language. Learning lists is a neverending task, because you learn vertically.

Let me know what your biggest learning French challenge is, please.

Question:

How to book a room
How to buy a shirt
How to rent a car

But there is only one horizontal structure:
adverb + verb + object.
I won't tell you that all French structures are that simple!
But their number is limited.
Learn one cloud at a time. The first lesson teaches you the canonical order of the French sentence: subject + verb + complement.
Then, you will learn a second cloud: the negative sentence. Later, you will not find difficult to learn the structure of a negative sentence with a complement.
Your cloud of knowledge will grow by aggregation, the largest one absorbing the smallest.

But since not everybody learns the same way as their neighbor, I also give links to more formal explanations.

Of course, since vocabulary is needed to learn the structures of the French language, you learn the basic vocabulary in the process.
Most often, my choice of words is based on the frequency of their showing up in everyday French.
