This course is ideal for beginner students who want to unlock better and more independent ways to learn French on their own, like:

  • Reading the original version of your favorite French authors.
  • Listening to French news or podcasts without needing to pause and translate.
  • Watching French movies without needing English subtitles.

Through a system of guided stories, you’ll boost your vocabulary, tune your ears to understand French speakers (even when they talk fast), and learn how to focus on understanding the overall context, instead of getting stuck mid-sentence to analyze what’s going on.

Here’s how this course will help you:

  • The 45 different stories spread over 45 lessons will expose you to a wide range of French grammar structures. This will help you form better French sentences without the monotonous task of memorizing grammar rules.
  • You will be able to increase your vocabulary in French thanks to the thousands of French words and colloquial expressions used in descriptive sentences and casual conversations throughout the short stories/lessons.
  • Sharpen your reading comprehension hand-in-hand with your listening comprehension by seeing how the written word appears alongside how it is spoken.
  • The audio will not only train your ears to understand French as spoken by natives, it will also boost your French listening skills tremendously.
  • Practice speaking French the way native speakers do through the embedded audio in each lesson.
  • Avoid frustrations when listening to spoken French by selecting the appropriate speed for your level. You will have audio in both slow and normal speed — choose the one you are more comfortable with.
  • Practice your writing skills with the writing exercises after each lesson.
  • The quiz at the end of each lesson will help you ensure that you fully understand what you have read.
  • Develop your listening skills to the point that you can easily follow normal-speed French conversations.
  • Understand spoken and written French with ease and be able to properly process and summarize the information you have heard or read.
  • Learn 4,000+ new French words and expressions and use these properly in their correct context in everyday conversations.
  • Build better, more complicated French sentences through exposure to different French sentence structures.
  • Read French publications (books, newspapers, blogs, comics) fit for both beginner and intermediate level.

If you are currently studying beginner-level French or you have learned it before and wish to pick it up again, this course is for you.

This course will benefit you greatly if:

  • You are looking for an excellent course to supplement your French lessons.
  • You are a busy adult learner who is looking for an effective course that won’t clash with your busy schedule and multiple obligations.
  • You can only commit a little time each day to learn French.
  • You want to enhance your reading and listening skills in French.
  • You wish to study French independently at your own pace.
  • You want to be able to enjoy French movies, books, and other forms of entertainment.

Here's what students say about French Reading and Listening Comprehension Course Level 1:

Jennifer

French Reading and Listening Comprehension Student

Incredible this course: French with stories for beginners, super recommend. 

I have benefited greatly, it is easy to understand.
The price is very cheap. And the level of education he provided me was great.
My choice was super right.

Anthony Osafo

French Reading and Listening Comprehension Student

The main selling point for this course is that it is organized into stories.

My background in french is beginner. This course would benefit beginners. It would be helpful if the main words of the stories are translated french first then english in brackets for example Salut (Hi) instead of translating them after a couple of sentences. This translation also applies to the titles of each section. The vocabulary recap at the end of each section is helpful.

Callum Adam

French Reading and Listening Comprehension Student

I found there to be a very helpful companion for learning French, whether you are just a complete beginner or have some experience.

 I have very little experience with learning French and these are a great tool to learn with. The story format helps with reading and learning new words (glossary included with each story) and an audio companion helps with pronunciation. I highly recommend these books as they cover such a wide range of situations, which will no doubt be useful in speaking French.

Bonjour !

Welcome to Talk in French!

"One of the things that struck me when I was teaching French is the limited range of resources that fully meet the needs of the busy, modern learner. Since then, I have made it my life’s work to remedy this, one French book and one French course at a time.

Drawing on my long years of teaching, I have selected the most effective approach and tools that will resonate best with the modern student — young and old alike.

This course is one of the results of my careful analysis and fine-tuning of the learning methods I have used over the years.

Learning French is a daunting task but, in this course, you will discover how easy, enjoyable, and convenient learning French can be."

Giulia Fabiano

French Reading and Listening Comprehension Student

I studied French at University and I really needed something that could make me up to speed and give me the tools to start again to study this language.

I thought this course could have been a good starting point and it actually was.
The course really helped me to improve my listening skills and reading. I would definitely recommend it.

Bruna Huaman

French Reading and Listening Comprehension Student

Excellent choice for who love to learn through daily dialogues, and the best of all is that you do not need to appeal the dictionary all the time.

Ayanda

French Reading and Listening Comprehension Student

I’ve had French friends for a long while and studied it once when I was younger.

 I’m also a fan of good stories. The way this course hits the basics allowing me to relearn French is a plus. Its layout design is easy to digest and appealing. And the mixture of English and French helps crutch my way in to having light hearted conversations with my friends from France in their language.
