Improve your listening comprehension and make learning new vocabulary so much easier with seven French short stories. Introducing a fun and effective method of learning French. When you can't slip away from daily life to immerse yourself in a French-speaking country, listening to French stories is the next best thing.

By learning this way, you will be able to:

• Understand grammar concepts without the monotonous chore of memorizing rules
• Grasp new vocabulary that you can immediately put to use in everyday conversations, and

Familiarize yourself with spoken French. The over ten hours of audio recorded by French native speakers will drastically improve your pronunciation. Each story is recorded in several ways:

Highly recommend.

I would recommend to anyone learning French to exercise their vocabulary, but after first establishing a basic working vocabulary and understanding of past tense.

Fantastic job.

The most important of all is that you actually read a story, and learn from it, rather than just study the language. The stories are fun, and you feel a fulfillment while reading them. Still, they are not "too simple", and that is because I feel that my brain is having an exercise while reading it, but that feeling is present when you actually are absorbing the language and learning it.

New vocabulary are excellent!

The stories contain a lot of dialogue between characters so the reader gets an idea of how informal conversational French is spoken. Also, the directions for how to read the stories and learn the new vocabulary are excellent!

Valuable.

Great storybook! As a beginner, The authors give clear directions on how to read the book and how to develop our reading skills one chapter at a time. In my opinion, it is here, in these clear directions and very diverse stories offered to put the ‘theory’ into practice, where the most valuable feature of this book resides.

Recommend this book.

I recommend that you try to make your own sentences with the new vocabulary. Also, there are some multiple choice questions that help you know if you understood what you read. I can completely recommend this book.

These are not stories

These are not stories but very boring describtions of situations.
A french vocabulary list without le/la male/feminine is a laugh.
The best laugh though is when the author begins to talk with a very very heavy French accent.
My advice: don't spend your money on this pulp!
