A French Vocabulary Challenge with Lucie
Lucie tests her audience on real French vocabulary in this quick, playful clip, the kind of low-pressure format that makes learning stick because you're actually recalling words, not just reading them.
A different way to test your French
Lucie (@lucievagenheim), a French creator based in Sydney, put together a quick vocabulary challenge asking her audience how far they actually got. It's a simple format, but it works: instead of just presenting words, it asks viewers to recall and test themselves in the moment, which tends to stick better than passive vocabulary lists.
Why this format works for learners
Challenge-style content like this taps into active recall, trying to come up with the answer yourself before it's revealed. That small effort is often what separates vocabulary you half-remember from vocabulary you actually know. It also makes for a quick, low-pressure way to check your level without the stakes of a formal test.
Keep testing yourself with real conversation
A video challenge is a great gut check, but the real test of vocabulary is using it in an actual conversation. You can start practicing your French with an AI language partner on ImChatty right away, no account needed, or create a free profile to find real French speakers to talk with.
Lucie, if you're reading this: we'd love to have you as one of ImChatty's early tutors. Our door is open.

What languages can I practice on ImChatty?
French, English, Chinese, Russian, and more coming soon — whatever your practice partner speaks. The partner matching filter lets you sort by target language.
When should I switch from text to voice practice?
When text starts to feel easy and you want to work on pronunciation and listening speed. Text is a great first step, not the only step — use it to build comfort, then layer in voice.
How is daily text practice different from using an app like Duolingo?
Apps like Duolingo teach vocabulary and grammar in a structured, gamified way. ImChatty gives you real conversation practice — using language in context with another person. They work well together: Duolingo builds the knowledge, ImChatty gives you somewhere to use it.
