This is the first sixth of an advanced French vocabulary deck. It contains nuanced English definitions, IPA, recording, pictures, example sentences, and compound uses.
The main goal of this deck is to assist with reading. While you may not need to speak the word "post" for a while, it does comes up frequently in written materials. I've also included several definitions and compound uses to help give you a head start in reading real French. For instance, can "post" also mean "goalpost?" Download the deck to find out!
THIS DECK IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. These decks are extremely time-consuming to make. But they only have to be made once, and then everyone can have one. It's my dream to reach 1400 notes with this deck, but realistically, that's 70+ hours of work. It might take a while!

If this deck was helpful, please consider giving it a starred rating so others can find us.
