Does the picture game have audio?

Yes. Every word is read aloud with your device’s French voice. If your device has no French voice, the game tells you so.

What do du and des mean on the answers?

Du and de la are used for things you don’t count (du pain, de l’eau); des is the plural of un and une. The game shows the article French speakers actually use with each word.

Is the picture game good for beginners?

Yes, it’s one of the best first games: concrete words, pictures instead of translations, and audio for every answer.

Why it matters for TCF and TEF Canada

Exam tasks start from real life: housing, shopping, health, transport. Naming everyday things quickly, with the right gender, keeps you fluent when you describe your situation in writing or speaking.

Rules and tips to remember

Say the article with the noun
une fourchette, un couteau: the gender is the hardest part to guess, so always say the article aloud.
Watch for l’
Le and la become l’ before a vowel or a silent h (l’arbre, l’horloge), which hides the gender. Learn those words with un or une.
Try the listening mode
Hearing a word and finding its picture skips English altogether, which is the reflex the listening section needs.
