Description
What are these French short stories about?
This is the seventh installment in our popular Short Stories in French series of publications by Languages at Home that complement the Private French lessons online that we have been providing since 2004 to more than 3,000 students through our main school: Learn French at Home. It is designed specifically for learners who want to deepen their vocabulary, strengthen listening skills, and enjoy immersive French storytelling. The stories blend suspenseful plots with natural language, idiomatic expressions, and engaging contexts that mirror real French usage
The first book in this series, “Le bruit des vagues”, was published in 2017. The second one, “Le pays de l’amour”, in 2018, the third one, “Le trésor”, in 2019, the fourth one, “Le chat qui parle”, in 2020, the fifth one, “Paparazzi”, in 2021, and the sixth one, “Le royaume des pierres”, in 2023. All the books of this series bring together short suspense stories, with a surprise ending, that are accompanied with detailed glossaries sprinkled throughout the text.
This series has already been a great success with our readers and students, who said they like this approach, and the possibility of both reading and listening to French stories.
Indeed, not only can you read the stories but you can also listen to the entire text in French through the audio links at the beginning of each story.
Several of the 12 new stories that you will find in this fourth volume have all been previously published in the Petites histoires section in various issues of our Free magazine French Accent. You will find in each story a few very useful and easy to understand grammar and vocabulary tips, cultural notes, questions, and, for the first time, several exercises (with the answers at the end).
This book is the Nr. 7 of a series. See others French short stories eBooks here
