Walking through a French home, you move from the salon to the salle à manger and beyond. This quiz covers five French words for the rooms and spaces that make up a home, matching each to its English equivalent. A great starting point for beginners building their French home vocabulary.

A helpful memory trick: salle à manger literally means a room for eating, which is exactly what it is. French often uses this kind of descriptive compound name, making the meaning easy to work out even as a beginner learning French.
