Ok stories in French

I had a hard time engaging on these stories. The stories are written as if a person is watching a group of people and just telling you what's happening. There are not a lot of conversations. The narrator doesn't use a lot of expression or try to take on different voices. So it becomes a little bit monotonous. It sort of has a feeling of the introduction of a story, but the story never really takes off. I think it's a good step in learning, but it just isn't very fun or engaging.

"Stories" is a generous term

These "stories" are a chance to hear basic spoken French and perhaps pick up a few new words. Every sentence is of the most basic structure (subject verb object, subject verb object, subject verb object ad infinitum) and in the present tense. But the text is really just a bunch of "use this word in a sentence" examples strung together. To say the stories have a plot would be generous; to say they have characters in any meaningful sense would be false. They are kind of like when a second grader writes a "book" for school. Just a string of declarative sentences. I realize that the author was constrained by the need to write in a simple and easily understood style, but it's really false advertising to refer to this as a collection of short stories. It is a collection of sentences.

Weirdly, the recording begins with a lengthy, utterly bizarre, unnecessary, and out of place legal disclaimer, in English,
