average score: 88% (all users)

This quiz set covers 30 essential French adjectives for describing people. You'll learn words for physical appearance like grand (tall/big), mince (slim), and beau (handsome); words for emotions like joyeux (happy), triste (sad), and en colère (angry); and words for personality like sympathique (likeable), travailleur (hardworking), and paresseux (lazy). These are the words you need to describe a character in a film, write a profile, or talk about someone you know in French.

The quiz set is organised into three units of short drills, followed by four cumulative reviews. Each session takes about five minutes. You'll start with reading and active recall, then move on to listening comprehension, spelling from audio, and using words in real sentence contexts. Words you've already met keep coming back in later sessions in harder question types — so every word gets reinforced multiple times across the set.

By the end, you'll be able to hear craintif or affectueux spoken aloud and write them correctly, recognise égoïste or sérieux in a sentence, and reach for the right word the moment a gap needs filling.
