Memory Hooks & Tricks

Boost your vocabulary retention with these clever, association-rich memory tricks tailored for French learners.

soixante-dix (seventy)

Memory Trick: Think of it as 'soixante' (60) plus 'dix' (10). In France, 70 is literally calculated as 'sixty-ten'.

Sixty plus ten equals soixante-dix!

quatre-vingts (eighty)

Memory Trick: Picture 4 vehicles each having 20 dollar bills in the trunk. 4 times 20 is 80 (quatre-vingts).

Four twenties make eighty in French!

seize (sixteen)

Memory Trick: Sounds like 'says'. Imagine a teenager who 'says' he is finally sixteen years old.

He says he is seize (sixteen)!

mille (one thousand)

Memory Trick: Connect 'mille' to 'millennium' (1,000 years) or 'millipede' (a bug with a thousand feet).

A millennium has one mille years.

milliard (one billion)

Memory Trick: Don't confuse it with million! A 'milliard' has a 'D' at the end like a 'digital' massive sum: 1,000,000,000 (one billion).

Milliard equals a billion, not a million!

quinze (fifteen)

Memory Trick: Sounds like 'cans'. Imagine stacking 15 soda cans on top of each other.

Fifteen cans stacked up high!
