Merde, It's Not Easy to Learn French

A Story in Easy French with Exercises and English Translation

By: France Dubin

Narrated by: France Dubin

This audiobook should be the first novel you try in French!

Following a story in French can be difficult, even for advanced students. French novels are usually full of idiomatic expressions. They use complicated tenses, complex sentence structures, and often slang.

This audiobook is in simple French. It's about the joys and the frustrations of an adult learning French. It includes a good dose of humor and a few exercises.

The book is a joy and Audible makes it perfect!

The story is relatable and written in everyday language. I’m learning a new language and its culture vicariously. The title is appropriate, but she takes you on a fun journey so you don’t mind. It’s a great way to learn a language. And with Audible I know that I’m using the correct pronunciation. Merci beaucoup!

Une Bonne Histoire

La pronunciation et la grammaire sont ce que un nouveau étudiant à besoin pour avancer avec le français.

Great pace for an elementary level!

I was looking for some stories to improve listening skills, This author has a medium pace, and utilizes phrases learned in an elementary level 2 class. Also the story was easy to follow!
Most other books are at a speed just too fast for my level.

Finally a story I can understand.

Okay the French is very slow and bit halting but pronounced correctly and explains some of the French rules to the newby. It gives your brain or at least mine enough time to understand each word before three more go by and you're completely lost. It might be a tad slow for some but you can speed up that words with the audible app if that is the case. It works perfectly for me and I think it's great. Thank you!!

Super Fun

C’est histoire is often funny, easy to understand, and very helpful in learning new vocabulary and learning verbs in the present and past. I love Madame France’s sense of humor. She often makes me laugh out loud.I can relate to the main character! This book is a gem. Bien joué Madame France, et merci!

Very easy to listen to and learn

Very clear audio and pronunciation - was a pleasure to listen to and I would recommend buying the book too. (Slow French Learner :))

Where is the English translation?

I bought it because there was an English translation. Am I missing something? Is there a pdf?
