If you enter a conversation in French with no training to listen to it, you will not be able to get what is coming back to you. Then your French studies will be worth nothing. On the other hand, even if you feel hesitant to speak French, you can have a conversation saying just “yes” or “no”, as long as you understand the other person. That’s why developing listening skills is so important. With SmartFrench you will develop two-way conversation skills. Learn smart French.

In The Bonjour Effect, Jean-Benoît and Julie chronicle the lessons they learned after they returned to France to live, for a year, with their twin daughters. They offer up all the lessons they learned and explain the most important aspect of all: the French don't communicate, they converse.

Story
Most people think the way to write a best seller is to have a lot of talent and even more luck. As you will learn, there is a recipe for success, and luck may be the least important ingredient in creating a best seller. No one has cracked the code better than James Scott Bell. 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.

Story
Dr. Greg Bottaro explains how mindfulness can help us become aware of the present moment and accept it. Catholic mindfulness is a way to practically trust God more in our lives. Instead of separating faith from day-to-day life, mindfulness helps bridge the gap so we can feel the sense of safety and peace God intends us to have. Following the exercises in this audiobook, you'll discover how mindfulness can help you be more present to everything in your life from a trip to the grocery store or relaxing with friends to listening more attentively to a homily.

Story
Education can be enriching and transformative. It can also be downright excruciating—even demoralizing. When it comes to learning, why are some of us lovers and some of us haters? Welcome to the world of educational psychology, which uses science to explore what causes people to engage and learn, and what we can do to make learning opportunities more enjoyable and impactful. Spoiler alert: Teachers can only do so much. Students, too, must take control of their learning. Unfortunately, many of us never, ahem, learned the skills to do just that.

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.

The approach of incorporating language learning into sleep cycles is both innovative and practical. The audiobook covers a wide range of topics, from basic vocabulary to more advanced conversational skills, all presented in a clear and engaging manner. The inclusion of dating-related phrases adds an extra layer of interest and relevance. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone looking for a fresh and effective way to learn French.

Great way to learn French!
I love this book, however in some sections the volume level of the French speaker is SO much lower than the English speaker that you can barely hear her at all. This book would be much better if the volume of the French speaker was turned up to the same level as the English speaker. It would be much easier to study this book if I could hear what the French that is being spoken.

Great Idea; Terrible execution
The format is simple enough: words & short phrases given in English, then repeated twice in French. it's a great idea to acccustom one's ear to French and expand vocabulary. it isn't a language instruction course, but a supplemental tool for acquisition or refresh.
The problem is that the English & French are recorded separately and then edited together. The French speaker aspirates vowels and speaks softly so is hard to understand. Then there is the problem that the speakers get out of synch: the French phrase will appear before the English, or worse, the French and English are totally unrelated with the English speaker reading one set of phrases and the French speaker giving totally different phrases.
Finally, the production is terrible. Several chapters are recorded with so little gain that the French cannot be distinguished at all, even with maximum volume. As a production note, any spoken recording needs to be recorded with high gain, high bypass filter, and considerable conoression-- especially for language learning where the "shapes" of syllables need to be distinguished.
in short, the poor production values renders much of the recording useless. The mixing up and at times incorrect phrases being read makes it worse than useless.
A waste of money & Audible should remove the title.
