| It's nothing like it but as a beginner, among the best books I've read about vocabulary are the "Madrigal Magic key to X" series of books by Margarita Madrigal. In it, she breaks down how to convert English words into French, German, etc. If I can recall correctly, here are a few simple examples on French: 1) Words ending with -or: replace the -or with -eur professor –> professeur, aggressor –> aggreseur 2) Words ending with -ist: just add an e at the end specialist –> specialiste, artist –> artiste 3) Words ending with -ic: replace it with -ique romantic –> romantique, fantastic –> fantastique 4) Words ending with -ary: change -ary to -aire extraordinary –> extraordinaire, solitary –> solitaire 5) Most words ending with -a: replace -a with -e encyclopedia –> encyclopedie, spatula –> spatule 6) Words that end with, -ine, -ble, -ance, and -ion are also spelled the same way in French. |
