VOCABULARY
These first-generation lists are in no way complete. They do, however, provide you with all the fundamental vocabulary as outlined by Ogden and much much more! They are updated as time permits and eventually every entry—where required—will have a usage example in Canadian French or in English or both.

	Click on a hyperlink below in blue to access a document.
	All documents are IMAGE files available in a .pdf format as a free download. You are not at the mercy of a computer screen; take it with you wherever you like to study.
	Don't have Adobe Reader? It's also free; go here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions
	The type size of all my material—just like my web site—is intentionally a little larger than normal. Save your eyes!
	Most multiple-page documents are designed to print back to back on regular 8.5x11 sheets allowing for a 3-hole punch on the left side of the first page.
	Organization is simple. There are four major categories: Pronunciation, Grammar, Vocabulary and Extras. Everything can be found under one of these categories with Vocabulary and Extras containing the vast majority.

	A typical entry may include a note or comment in English or Canadian French and/or a usage example in one or both languages.
	A pronunciation helper immediately follows the entry where helpful or necessary.
	Both masculine and feminine forms are given for any entry that does not create its feminine form by simply adding an e.
	A / bar is used when an alternate translation exists.
	Alternate spellings are shown in brackets: gray [grey]
	A colon is used after an entry to list its common subentries.
	An "m" dash (—) is used in lieu of repeating a (longer) word whenever possible.
	(inv.) indicates a word is invariable; that is, it does not change its spelling for any reason.
	The quotes symbol (")—after a word that begins with an H—tells you that that word is an "Aspirate H" word.
	*civ* symbol (c = colloquial; i = informal; v= vernacular)
	Entries are cross-referenced as deemed necessary to make them as easy to find as possible.
	Entries are organized based on which part of speech in English they fall into. (Most words, by far, in Canadian French and English fall into the same parts of speech.)
