Publisher's summary

Real French people don’t speak like your textbook…so it’s no wonder you feel unprepared when it’s your turn to speak! Try the StoryLearning Method, and dive into a real-world, gripping drama between six characters that helps you learn authentic spoken French in the process.

Created by Olly Richards, internationally-renowned language teacher and author, this proven method of the immersive experience not only entertains, it gives you the skills to master realistic encounters in shops, cafés, and other, everyday scenarios!

In this story, two friends, Alice and Sophie, arrive in Paris for what they think will be a relaxing vacation exploring the city. Things, however, take an unexpected turn when they discover some very valuable paintings in one of Paris’ antique markets....

Whether you’re learning the French, of Canada, North Africa, France or even your local French-speaking community, you’ll learn to speak naturally wherever you go.

Best of all, you’ll be able to handle new scenarios with both ease and confidence!

“I love Olly’s work - and you will too!” (Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times best seller A Mind for Numbers)

Here’s what you’ll get:

A. 101 French conversations with over 15,000 words of dialogue — an unparalleled resource that will immerse you in French at a level you can easily understand and reproduce.

B. Expressions that real people use on the street. You’ll sound more authentic when you speak and make French-speaking friends more easily.

C. Situational French dialogues that help you thrive in typical daily circumstances, so meeting people and making everyday arrangements will become second nature.

D. Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for beginners (A2-B1 on the CEFR), so you can speak confidently, even with strangers.

E. Each conversation is limited to around 15 lines of dialogue (150 words) to help you master the expressions more quickly, and keep you moving toward the finish line.

I wasted money on others!

I deducted one star from overall because the intro was way too long. But everything else was great. I need practice with my listening comprehension so I am starting with the beginners. I was able to follow along quite well, understanding quite a bit of the story. The reader/s were not too fast nor too slow. They were easy to understand and had pleasant voices. The only reason that I am considering purchasing the ebook version is so that I can see some of the words I did not know. But this would only be if I still cannot figure out a lot of the words after listening a few more times.

Great for beginners!

I appreciate these short stories! As a beginner I could only follow the gist of what the characters are saying but still enjoyed the experience though and proud to have finished my first french "book".

Good, but I REALLY need to see the printed text!

I am an intermediate French learner. I wanted to enhance my skills with these 101 conversations, but I really need to see them printed as well as hearing the audio. Having the PDF downloadable would be super!
