TEF & TCF Canada vocabulary trainer
Flip a card, say whether you knew it, and watch each theme fill up. Your progress stays in this browser.
How it works
Pick a theme and read the French. Say what it means, flip the card, then choose I knew it or Review again. Known cards leave the pile, and the others come back until you've got them. Your progress is saved in this browser only, so it won't follow you to another device.
Neither TEF Canada nor TCF Canada publishes an official word list. The 10 themes come from our vocabulary by theme guide, which also has B1 to B2 upgrades. The words and example sentences here were written for French Exam Alert and aren't taken from any book.

Common questions
No. Neither Le français des affaires nor France Éducation international publishes a word list. The tests measure your level, so learn the vocabulary of the everyday topics the tasks use.
No. This trainer isn't connected to that book or any other published list, and we don't offer downloads of it. It's a separate, free set of 220 original entries you can use in your browser.
There's no official list or word count. Start with everyday social topics such as work, housing, health, education and the environment, and learn each noun with its article so you get the gender right.
The audio uses a French voice installed on your device or browser, and some don't have one. Installing a French voice in your system settings usually helps. Until then, use the Google Translate link under the card.
