About this listen
Do you know what the hardest thing for a French learner is?
Finding PROPER reading material that they can handle...which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book!
Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it's not entertaining, useful, or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!
In this book we have compiled 20 easy-to-read, compelling, and fun stories that will allow you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the wonderful French tongue.
How French Short Stories for Beginners works:
- Each story will involve an important lesson of the tools in the French language (verbs, adjectives, past tense, giving directions, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
- The summaries follow a synopsis in French and in English of what you just read, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about.
- At the end of those summaries, you'll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance!
- Finally, you'll be provided with a set of tricky questions in French, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Don't worry if you don't know the answer to any - we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating!
So look no further! Pick up your copy of French Short Stories for Beginners and start learning French right now!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the French language? You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy. In fact, the toughest part of learning French is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

Un enregistrement exceptionnel : les cinq volumes des "Misérables", un des plus grands romans de la littérature française, enfin disponibles en livre audio. Jean Valjean, Cosette, les Thénardier, Gavroche, ou encore Javert sont autant de noms qui résonnent au-delà de l'histoire qui les a fait naître. Ces misérables sont décrits à la fois comme des archétypes du genre humain, mais aussi comme les produits d'une société génératrice de pauvreté, d'ignorance et de désespoir.

Story
If you are a French language learner looking to advance your reading skills and enhance your vocabulary, then this book will guide you through dialogue and story listening in your second language. We often are instructed with conventional activities in the form of worksheets, overlooking that words are 20 times more likely to be remembered if they are a part of a story (Bruner, 2017). Language learners retain more in the context of a story and become accustomed to the natural syntax of that language.

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!

A best-selling author himself, and the author of the number-one best seller for writers, Plot & Structure, Mr. Bell has been teaching the principles of best-selling fiction for over 20 years, principles that apply to any genre or style.

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.

What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the French language? You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy. In fact, the toughest part of learning French is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

ENJOYABLE, an extremely EFFICIENT learning method , LOVELY NARRATION
This is the second Lingo Mastery audiobook i'm listening , and they both incredibly made me understand more and more of what i'm hearing in french to the point of not having to read what i'm hearing in order to understand in a very short time.
At the beginning i was a complete begginer, no previous education on french - first i was reading the text of the lingo stories in order to know what it is about and after that i was listening it's narration.
After that i tried reading and listening at the same time because i still wasnt able to understand what i'm hearing without seeing the text.
The third step was listening to a story first and then reading it in order to verify if i understood everything.
Now, after completing this audiobook i am able to understand most of what i'm hearing (80%) without even feeling the need to read the text afterwards.
And this is what i was seeking through those audiobooks!
I know that i'm still at the beginning and i'm trying in parallel to read about french grammar in order to understand rationally how sentences are formed in french. I think it's not suficient to rely solely on listening stories, even if i see they are incredibly efficient.
Thank you Lingo mastery for helping me learn french so easily, enjoyably and efficiently.
I also have to give special thanks to the narrator Noelia Gouty, which has such a lovely and expressive voice.
Her voice was a very important reason why i liked so much and gave priority to lingo mastery stories and after this "French stories for begginers 1" i'm going to enjoy her narration in "French stories for begginers vol 2".
I'm also going to purchase in the future "French stories for intermediates" from Lingo Mastery where she continues to be the narrator.

Hesitated at first but turned out to be wonderful
I took french in highschool but it's been years. I did not know how learning a language would translate to this medium. I was pleasantly surprised.
Like i said it's been years since I've touched the language so this version was perfect for me. I needed the hand holding. This is only a beginners course and i'm not sure how serious i am in learning the language but i can see these books being really useful for someone who wants to dip their toes in this beautiful language.

Great way to learn French
This is a great way to learn French. It is challenging and if you are serious about learning French you are going to have to put in the study time and not just drive around listening.
They first read a story in French and give you a brief summary in English. The story lasts approximately 5 minutes. They spend about another 10 minutes on vocabulary words. I think there are 20 stories. They say the word in French then English twice. I have found it more effective to go back and listen several times rather than move on to the next story. As you practice saying the words and you hear them over and over you can start to pick them out of the story.
In addition, you can download the book in pdf. This is where you need to go if you are serious. Listen as you read along. Also it helps to see how words are spelled. I have gone through the first story and translated all of the words I didn't know. As you go along and learn you will need to translate fewer and fewer words. After following along in the book, you will hear so many more words.
This is not an "easy" way to learn French. There is not an easy way to learn another language. Language is hard! But this way is effective and it is fun.

This is a great addition to your language learning lessons. I find it hard sometimes to understand oral French and this audiobook really helps to improve your comprehension. The stories are varied and are a great way to learn new words as well. It includes a pdf with the dialog of the stories to help either follow along or improve your reading comprehension as well. Highly recommend this audiobook if you are looking to improve your French skills.

Great Book for beginners
I have been learning french for quite some time before and starting to forget some of the vocabularies so this book really helps me through reading and listening to the book.
what's neat about this book is that, they put an english and french summary at the end of the stories, so we can confirm our understanding. On top of that, there are a vocabulary list that you can read, also some questions to confirm your reading comprehension.
Overall, i recommend this book for beginners to increase their vocabulary.

I've just recently gotten into French audiobooks. I was reading more French, but discovered without hearing it, my ear isn't quite as well trained when I am actually speaking to someone. I have to pay close attention and just don't catch everything. So, I started listening to French audio to strengthen my listening muscles. And, these stories are fun. Great way to be entertained while still training your ear and getting in some good listening practice.

Great for beginners & those wanting a refresher
The structure of this audio is very simple – a story in French, a summary of the story in French, a summary in English, a review of the key vocabulary, and a quiz. It works brilliantly. If you have some familiarity with French, it is a great refresher. If you are new to French, I encourage you to download the PDF and follow along. If you can’t, you may be a little lost during the stories, but don’t worry, the summaries will help you catch up.
I have some knowledge of French and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Of all the stories, I enjoyed the third one the most. The story of a woman who goes to speed dating and comes away with much more than she had expected. There are cute stories, funny stories, while some are short, and some are a bit longer. All in all, they are enjoyable.
Noelia Gouty is a fabulous French narrator because she does not have a strong regional accent – she is as neutral as one could wish. Her speaking in English is not as strong and she mispronounced several words. Not a big deal and certainly not enough to detract from the book.
Overall, I enjoyed it and can recommend it to someone contemplating plunging into the beautiful romantic language that is French. For myself, it was a wonderful and engaging book.
