About this lesson
Learn three useful kitchen words in French: the fridge, the frying pan and the oven. Each comes with short sentences to repeat and a common learner mistake.
How to practise
- Learn each word on its card: the word and what it means.
- Repeat every example out loud in the À toi · Your turn pause, then check the Don't say card: how not to use the word.
- At the end, take the quick quiz on the theme's words.

| Word | Meaning | Don't say |
|---|---|---|
| le frigo | the fridge masculine noun, ouvrir le frigo | La frigo est vide. ✗ · Le frigo est vide. ✓ Frigo is masculine, like réfrigérateur, the word it is short for. |
| la poêle | the frying pan feminine noun, une poêle à frire | Je cuisine avec le poêle. ✗ · Je cuisine avec la poêle. ✓ Le poêle is a stove for heating; la poêle is for frying. |
| le four | the oven masculine noun, allumer le four | Je mets le four. ✗ · J'allume le four. ✓ Allumer le four is the standard way to say you turn on the oven; avoid translating "turn on" word for word. |
