French Short Stories: Thirty French Short Stories for Beginners to Improve your French Vocabulary (French Stories for Beginners and Intermediates)

This book and accompanying audio which can be downloaded is a great resource. It’s the best I’ve bought and will take your French to the next level.Well worth the money.

Very engaging stories with English translations for easy reference and key phrases highlighted and translated. I would thoroughly recommend.

downloaded this book for my kindle as someone is learning French, and i think it's amazing! i'd recommend the kindle edition as it makes it really easy to quickly translate any specific phrases that you don't understand without turning the page and trying to find them in the English translation (which is also super useful). with the comprehension questions and the included audio versions of the stories, this is just the perfect resource and I will be using it a lot!

The translations of the stories are written how you would speak in good English but actually the corresponding French words are a bit different so I ended up using a separate dictionary to translate the words I didn't know well. Sometimes parts of translated sentences have been swapped compared to the French which can be a bit confusing. 'J'avais un peu faim quand je suis arrive au comptoir' is translated to 'When I got to the counter, I was a little hungry'. Whereas, I think it would be better for beginners to translate it as 'I was a little hungry when I arrived to the counter'.The bonus however is that there's the matching audio to listen to the pronunciation, it's done at a slow-ish pace so it's easier to read at the same time.

Learning French is hard and what I appreciate about books like this it helps to understand everyday situations and also tests your understanding of the story that you have read. I read the book through twice and wrote down my answers to all the questions. I would recommend this book to anyone from beginner to intermediate. Dylane is a great teacher and understands what French students need. Thank you.

Thank you Dylane, I recently received my copy of Short Stories and I'm loving the book. It makes me feel more confident that I can read these short stories without too much difficulty. I really like the format, you feel a sense of accomplishment as each chapter can be completed in one session with a nice Q&A at the end to get you to think in French. Maybe my French isn't as bad as I thought lol. Though I need a great deal more work as it's not quiet good enough to leave this comment in French. A shout out as well to your two YouTube channels, they help a great deal. Merci Beaucoup - Richard

I really like the way the author has written this book. The short stories in French followed by the translations and then the quiz to test your understanding in both languages. I really enjoy reading this book and have read some stories multiple times. Brilliant. Just bought book 2!

Over many years I have tried to speak French. I even lived in France for two years without much success. But this an incredible way to learn without one to one tutoring.

I am trying to learn French through self-study and this book seems to be helping a lot! I am at the A2 level and the stories are easy to follow but have just enough challenge so I am still learning and improving. The book also comes with downloadable audio for each story, which helped me with my listening skills!

This is great! There is a short story written in French and then just below the French story you'll find the story rewritten in English. This is better because I dont like when stories contain the translation right under the French words. So this is more like a reading exam which is what I want to test how much French I know. After the English story you'll find a summary list of important words and phrases contained in the story. Nice!
