Amazing comme toujours

Great stories and easy to follow and fun to listen to and read along with, my only suggestion is to actually take the time and divide the audio up into chapters just like with the French beginner stories

Please fix chapter headings!

Great tool (also read/listened to the beginner level), BUT the chapter headings are impossible to follow as currently set up. All chapters are lumped into “the six step reading process” and there is no way to find individual chapters making it impossible to find a specific chapter and move around. PLEASE FIX as otherwise this is a great audible!!!!!

Nice book except some but audio missing

I liked the book and the accompanying file with some vocabulary help. I bought the kindle version to read along and get the full book text. Unfortunately the audible audio version is missing some of the text in the book. The stories aren't very long so it seems sad to be missing a part. It is clearly a technical/production error in the recording as the audio suddenly cuts off before the end of the chapter 2 in story 2. I hope they fix it and send out a memo so I can give this book the 5 starts it deserves.
