| From here you can access sets of frequency lists with
every word linked to a set of learning resources including text-to-speech,
concordance, dictionary, and a range of fixed and user built quizzes. (TTS temporarily unavailable).
Learning principle: Learners like word lists, so let's
give them good ones. As learners sense, word lists unlike natural
texts can provide broad coverage of a frequency zone in a short
time. And if properly resourced and used, lists can be a
stimulus to deep learning as well (a point elaborated in
Cobb 1999).

Mise à jour complète - FEB 2013
The idea of using string radicals (about' for aboutir, aboutie, etc) was
originally devised as a way to limit the large number of morphologies
that exist for most French words, which could easily make the
family lists unmanageable. This idea was described in
Cobb & Horst, 2001
... here on its third refinement.
