Vlogosaurus

How would you like to learn more than 500 French nouns in 5 seconds? Impossible? OK. Example: Most words that ends by "tion" are the same than in English. Hard time to figure out masculine word versus feminine words? If they end by "tion", then use the feminine form ("une", or "la")

What? Not good enough? Ok, try this: Most words that end by “ment” in English will end by “ment” in French. Compliment - Encouragement - Segment. Same in French, same basic definition. Those words are masculine.

I know. You are busy and need to learn fast. So, let’s learn 100’s of verbs in a flash: Did you know that many, if not most English verbs ending by "ate" will end by "er" in French? For example, take the following verbs: Activate - Cultivate - Operate. They will all become: Activer - Cultiver - Opérer. All group 1 verbs. Ok, you know verbs are supposed to be hard. No so, but this is for another book altogether. It is coming…

What about quickly learning some adjectives? Take those that end by “ant” like “important” or “instant”. They are the same in French, meaning the same thing. Also, find out all the English words that follow this rule: adjectives that ends by “ary” will end by “aire” in French. “Auxiliary”, “elementary”, “secondary” will become “auxiliaire”, “élémentaire”, and “secondaire”.

So, basically, The Vlogosaurus is new type of dictionary with 1000's of English words that, based on their endings, are easily translatable in French. Most exceptions have been flagged and recorded as such.

It features Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs, and Verbs that follow certain rules that I have called Vlogarchy.

I sincerely hope this dictionary of suffixes will be useful to you in your journey in learning Molière’s language.

Thank you,
