Publisher's summary

Do you know what the number one language learning principle is to catapult your French fluency?

To the enjoy the material!

The biggest mistake language learners make is studying boring, difficult grammar material that causes them to fall asleep before they even speak a single word!

Do you struggle with learning French and the embarrassment of pronunciation?

Do you get confused trying to figure out irregular verbs?

How about placing the accent in the correct place?

Do all of the false friends and tricky vocabulary make your head spin?

As a beginner, in fact, studying these is not an effective use of your time nor the best way to learn a new language. Is this how children learn their language skills? Of course not.

Great Language Learning Format

The stories and the pace of the narration is perfect for a novice like me to pick up the basics again. Brushing up on the correct conjugations and pronunciations of a language that I have not spoken in over a decade was almost second nature with this book. This was a wonderful refresher. I wasn't sure how easily I'd be able to follow the stories after years without practice, but the style of this book was very easy to follow. At times the narrator paused, especially in the vocabulary sections to reinforce the meaning. Tremendously helpful - Give it a shot.

Happily Recommend!!

A great way to improve your French grammar and vocabulary. The narrator is very animated and enunciates each word very clearly, and the PDF is very handy to link what you're hearing with a written word if you're a visual learner. Five stars for me :) Disclaimer: I was given this book free at my request in exchange for my honest review.

Solidified my French comprehension

Although I wasn't able to understand every single word, I was amazed how much I actually did pick up on. As a self taught person who is trying to learn french, I found the short story approach very interesting, since it allowed me to get a context for the new words, and the vocabulary recap was really hepful. I credit the narrator for taking a seemingly boring educational task and making it fun!

French learning

I'm very pleased to find this version to learn French at home. This audiobook is an excelent version for self learners like me that need to practice listening and speaking French at the convenience of their home. These tales do make for a great listen while I'm on the road and want to squeeze some French in. I have only been learning French for a few months and when I heard about this book I was excited to give it a try!

Nice French learning tool

I like the vocabulary reviews and summaries of the stories. I think it will be better to review the vocabulary first, then attempt to listen to the words in context. I have been trying to become fluent in French for years. I studied it all throughout high school and two semesters in college, but I still have never felt like I 'got' it. This audiobook was perfect for me. I walk for about half an hour to work, so this is perfect to listen to during my commute. My confidence speaking has dramatically improved because I can hear the proper pronunciation thanks to the quality narrator.

Well done

Just listening to these stories reminded me of when I was a small child. The narrator animated and makes it a lot of fun to listen to. Several good life lessons mixed in with French langauge learning lessons. Two thumbs up.

This beginner French audiobook isn't terrible

Attention: Don't get this audiobook if you DON'T want to learn French. In all honesty, Touri did a great job and I look forward to more of their French learning content.

Simple, concise and fun stories

These short stories are a perfect bridge to a more intermediate French fluency level. The book begins with short stories told in half French, half English. I have always wanted something like this because it doesn't really feel like a lesson. It feels like you're really just listening to a Franglais story. The reader will stop and repeat phrases, translating them. A cute way to practice fluency with real world situations -- what I mean to say is that the content, rich vocabulary, and a range of tenses makes for great practicing material. I don't think I would have such an easy time absorbing the authentic French pronunciation if it weren't for this book being an audio book.

This book is awesome

I'm a French instructor and I have used this to supplement some of my teachings. I also like the fact that I can donwload it on my smartphone from anywhere. Overall quality audio and good for intermediate levels

Simple yet quite effective!

I love every single minute of this audiobook. Although I am not an expert speaking french I do have some experience with it. I've found it to be at just the right level. The narrator is very good.
