LEXOGOTH, A TOOL TO MASTER ADVANCED FRENCH VOCABULARY




Key Features of Lexogoth

  • The numerous example sentences illustrate—unlike the more theoretical approach of traditional dictionaries—how words and expressions are actually used in both spoken and written French. Most examples correspond to CEFR levels B and C. This practical approach makes Lexogoth an excellent tool for thoroughly acquiring new vocabulary and deepening existing (lexical) knowledge. Here you can find a detailed description of the methodology used.
  • The integrated Lexical Toolbox allows users to actively build, edit, and test their own lexical databases based on authentic corpus data. This professional-grade module supports a true Data-Driven Learning approach: teachers can create targeted materials, while students can practice with personalized datasets and export or merge databases for long-term retention.
  • Lexogoth pays considerable attention to the different language registers associated with the use of certain words and expressions; Belgicisms and Anglicisms are also thoroughly covered.
  • Special attention is given to the informal language of everyday speech.
  • As an extra, we offer a complete overview of the French learning material for CEFR level A (and partly B) in the form of nearly one hundred clear and well-organized PDFs. The material covers grammar, vocabulary, and speech acts, and consists of around ninety lessons. Here you can find an overview of all available lessons.
  • Lexogoth includes a module for conjugating French verbs.
  • Lexogoth is very user-friendly and easy to use during instruction; no internet connection is required.
  • Only a one-time purchase is required and quarterly updates are provided, available for download via the Microsoft Store.

Intuitive interface : Lexogoth is easy to use and highly flexible. Users can search in multiple ways: by entering one or more keywords in the search bar, or by browsing through a traditional-style dictionary.

From casual to formal—Lexogoth covers it all: We indicate the language register of words and expressions where relevant, with special focus on familiar, informal language used in daily life. Standard French—used in media and schools—remains central. Colloquial, familiar, and some literary registers are covered, with standard equivalents provided where needed. Many Belgicisms and Anglicisms are included, along with their standard alternatives when available.

In-depth explanations for many examples: We often provide additional explanations for words and constructions that commonly cause difficulties for language users. Grammatical challenges also receive the attention they deserve.

The Lexical Toolbox allows users to build, edit, and test their own databases using authentic corpus data. Teachers and students can create targeted materials or personalized datasets for deeper study. All data can be exported or merged, ensuring long-term retention and a true Data-Driven approach.

Easy to use: Quickly look up words and expressions, search in French and Dutch, and access a large collection of French lessons covering vocabulary, grammar, and speech acts (CEFR: A-B). All grammar lessons are freely available here.
