About this listen
Learn French with Ease!
Do you want to learn French quickly? Or perhaps you already know the basics, but you still have difficulties in assimilating this charming language? Do not worry; this audiobook will help you.
By using this audiobook together with practice, you can learn to understand, read, write, and speak this beautiful language. French tends to have a reputation among English speakers as hard to learn, but it’s easier than you might think. Many courses of language study assume you are going there for vacation, and so begin their lessons with everyday survival phrases that people use. There is some of that in this audiobook, but consider that verbs are what make a language.
During each chapter of this audiobook, you will be guided, and each part will have examples, followed by practical exercises.
Just some of the questions and topics covered in this audiobook include:
- Pronunciation
- The French alphabet
- How to count in French
- The time, date, and calendar
- The elements of a sentence
- The verbs of group 1-3
- Conjugation
- Different types of sentences
- Expressions
- French vocabulary for travel and vacation
- And much more!
Listen to this audiobook now to learn more!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Spanish is more popular than ever before. Maybe because of the undeniable sex appeal of Latino legends such as Shakira and Pablo Alborán. Maybe because there are 21 Spanish speaking countries you might not want to miss out on. Charles the Fifth already once said if he were to speak to God, he would speak in the Spanish tongue. Whatever motivates you to learn the language of God, I promise you won't regret it.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Story
Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Story
A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar. Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"? Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.

Robots have terrible accents.
Having lived in Paris I am very familiar with pronunciation. I can't tell if this is a robot but the pronunciation/accent is horrendous and if you try to imitate don't be surprised if no one understands you!

too technical, not for learning basic french
if you are interested in learning structure, all the technical parts of the language, this book is for you. if you are looking to learn basic french, look elsewhere.

too fast
This is the second french book I purchased - it's way too fast. The pronunciation is incorrect or just too fast that you can't catch up. I changed the speed on my kindle - but that made way too slow..

Not a good practice tool
honestly, the narrator talks at you like he's in a rush. There is no fine tuning of pronunciation nor practice of the material beyond stating something once and moving on. I realize that this is more of a personal preference but the voice of the narrator is rather grating as well.

Not even worth a star.
I’m a beginner French speaker living in Paris and even I can hear the mistakes in this book.

French accent a bit off
some phrases sounded more German than French. they should have used a native speaker. the phrases they did cover were reasonable beginning phrases in conversation

useless. my first purchase. useless.
absolutely useless. Just rushes through the lessons. Maybe book was useful. but as an audio book, doesn't work at all. Need repetition for beginners.
