About this listen
If you struggle to learn French words, then keep listening.…
The best way to start learning French is to listen to the words that we use every day.
In this audiobook, you will discover words used in any situation of daily life, and more specifically, when traveling in Quebec.
According to Henriette Walter, linguist, and member of the Superior Council of the French language “More than two-thirds of English vocabulary comes from French”.
This audiobook will help you to get the right pronunciation when
- Ordering at the restaurant will be easier
- Finding interesting places to visit will be simple
- Asking for information
- Looking for what you are missing in for daily routine
- Choosing menus
- Understanding local expressions
You go at your own pace, and you can try common words whenever you want. You will also learn what are the 10 most used words in French, with examples of use. By listening to the words several times, you will be able to recognize them during your journey.

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.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

Story
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

Digestible Instruction
The great thing about this book is the author uses every day words and situations to get you started.
The words and sentences you learn can be applied and used in every day life right away. I am really impressed with the French language and am really surprised with my self being able to pick up these common words so quickly.
Hearing them several times because of the way the book is set up has been extremely helpful in remembering and recognizing when they are to be used.
The narration is perfectly suited! If you are planning to travel to Canada and want to brush up on some words to get you through some basic everyday situations, this is the book for you!

Informative!
I had no idea that so many English words were of French origin. I learnt so much from this one little book! My son is now doing French at school also and he loves to use this book as he said it is easier for him to learn it this way. It could not have come at a better time. I appreciate the simplicity yet organized lessons. Really useful little book. Good job!

A must-have for travelers
This is nice to have if you are traveling through any French speaking country you visit. It covers a lot of the basics needed for travelers. I particularly like the fact that it’s only 30ish mins long so you can repetitively listen to it and remember!

Great Audiobook
I've been struggling to learn French and then I discovered this great audiobook. It has helped me tremendously. It contains some very useful words and phrases and the content is presented in a way that is easy to understand and learn. I am much more confident now with beginner French and am looking forward to using these great new language skills when I visit Quebec! Highly recommend!

Great companion for my trip to Canada
I live in the US but love to travel to Canada. I especially love to visit Montreal. It’s an amazing city with a lot of things to see. In the past visits, I have had trouble with the French words I needed to get by. This book provides me with a great way of preparing for my next visit. It’s short and sweet and to the point. I recommend this book to anyone traveling anywhere in Quebec.
