Oui!

I loved every part of this book. The stories/lessons are good, and the narration is really nice. I like that a lot of common French words are used in the context of these stories, as it makes it easier for learners to get familiar with their usage in various scenarios. Nice work.

This book was requested by me as a free review copy. This review is, however, voluntraily written and solely based on my opinion.

She has a beautiful native accent!

This native French speaker has such a beautiful accent. She reads the stories, which are appropriate for adult intermediate learners, with an accent that is so lovely to listen to, and very useful to try and emulate.

Essential for language learning experience

Designed for intermediate french learners, this book helps with the ongoing experience of the language. I personally (among others) enjoy myself immersing in language culture. Since travelling can be expensive, audio material with transcript sources is a nice way to enjoy and make actual progress.

This audible helps you boost and power up your french skills, with a friendly pattern of intermediate level story - bilingual summaries - vocabulary - an even a Q&A section!

Recommended for those in need of an affordable immersion experience (the narrator is an actual french native speaker)

Nice for a long drive.

The stories were pretty entertaining. My favorite is one about the origins of the universe. I appreciated the vocabulary section. She reads aloud all the non-obvious words from the story in alphabetical order in french and english. I listened to it on 2x speed and skipped around to words I didn't understand in context, then went back to the story to listen to it in context again.

Another great tool for French

At this point, I have used several Lingo Mastery products for both German and French, and I believe I have a feel for the quality that this publisher brings. On the whole, these are great learning tools, and I would be happy to use others again for the different languages I study.

First of all, to be successful, you must use the PDF that comes with the audio. You’ll get the most out of the stories if you can do any combination of listening, reading, or listening and reading at the same time. Try it at different playback speeds, too, just to get your eyes and ears used to native communication patterns.

The lessons themselves follow a pattern of intermediate-level story, bilingual story summaries, vocabulary, and review questions with answers. The stories themselves are quirky and fun, but they demand more from the language student. They are longer in length, and the new vocabulary is extensive. The really great thing about all this vocabulary is that it covers a well-rounded slice of life and gets some things that are missing from other language products.

The narrator is a native French speaker, and she has a good voice for reading the stories. She sometimes misplaces the correct stress when speaking English, but don’t let that get in your way. It highlights one of the main sound differences between the languages. English is stress-timed, and French is syllable-timed.

Bottom line: Recommended for intermediate and ambitious beginning French learners. You’ll power up your language skills with this if you do the work.
