Description
THIS BOOK IS THE FIRST in a series of publications by Languages at Home that complement the French lessons on Zoom that we have been providing since 2004 to more than 3,000 students through our main school: Learn French at Home.
What are these French short stories about?
A writer who recounts her encounter with the sound of the waves which in turn leads to another very surprising encounter; a dancer who hates counting steps and where that’s eventually leads her; a middle-aged woman who dislikes art and who is suddenly and in-explicably drawn to the paintings in an art exhibition; a woman who, through reading her husband’s emails, discovers that he has an appointment with a mysterious Lola; the personified words in the dictionary who question their very meaning…
Have you been learning French for a while? These are just a few of the well-crafted stories, all of which have a surprising twist at the end, that will enhance not only your understanding of the language and the culture but your pleasure in reading French literature. The complete audio recordings of each story to help our students will help you to improve your listening comprehension.
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.
With grammar tips, cultural notes and exercises, with answers in French.
These French stories are especially suited and designed for intermediate and advanced students. Reading and listening to these stories is an excellent way to learn more vocabulary, especially idiomatic expressions, and to familiarize yourself with the way French people express certain feelings in their everyday language.
