Description


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.

  • Or 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.

This course is created by Frederic Bibard, the founder of top French website TalkinFrench.com. Frederic, a native of Paris, France, has spent more than a decade teaching French abroad. 

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

Drawing on his long years of teaching, he has 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 his careful analysis and fine-tuning of the learning methods he’s used over the years.

  1. Ariel –

    These are really great, i don’t have much experience with French other than a few basics but these books really helped me improve! The way they’re set up help you learn quickly and the stories are based around real life scenarios so you’re learning the right things for everyday life. Definitely recommend

  2. Callum Adam –

    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.

  3. Leo Gillick –

    These stories have helped me asking with my French skills wonderfully. I have much more confidence with both listening and speaking skills now. I was comfortably listening along with everything by the end!

  4. Ayanda –

    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 book 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.

  5. Jingyi –

    The stories are interesting and very suitable for beginners. Besides, unlike other audios for French learning, this one is very clear and not too fast! I love it.

  6. Merlinda Estrella –

    These e-books entitled “Learning French with Stories for Beginners” volume 1-3 are worth recommending not only for young readers but for adult as well. It makes learning French language enjoyable because each volume has 15 different stories. I’m not a fan of reading but this e-book makes me interested in reading because of the audio recording, you can enhance your listening skills as well as learning the right pronunciation while reading a book. Files such as mp3 and text files are easy to download except for epub and mobi files of volume 2(you still need to use iTunes app).

  7. Bruna Huaman –

    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.

  8. Adrian Vaquero –

    I’m very impressed by this bundle of books! For the price, there’s a very generous quantity of content, and of great quality too! I’m using mainly the slow version as I’m still not very fluent in French, but I’ve checked both versions out and they’re of very good quality and easy to understand.

    The stories themselves are perfect for a beginner like me, as they tackle various topics such as introductions, weather, clothes, food… This way I’m learning a wide variety of new words! And after each paragraph there’s a glossary as well, so that you don’t have to look up the difficult words on the internet or on a dictionary. I find that very practical!

    I would totally recommend these for anyone who wants to improve their pronunciation and reading skills.

  9. Giulia Fabiano –

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

  10. narencyolimpia.nost –

    I got bundled books with stories for beginners, I consider it was a helpful choice because I did not have any experience with French before.
    What I really liked was that stories are like daily life scenes then is so easy to match expressions or words with real-life situations.
    You can hear the audios at two different speeds: normal and slow, the first, helps you to familiarize with French and with the second one, you can repeat after in order to improve your pronunciation.
    To be honest I am kind of lazy and I hate to translate or research words in dictionaries, so the best is that each story brings its own compilations of words with meanings.
    Maybe something to improve would be to add an extra audio with all those words and the English translation.
    I highly recommend the books, you can enjoy it and learn simultaneously.

  11. adamw54 –

    Learn French Stories For Beginners is a three-book series that’s informative and effective for anyone willing to learn the French language. The books themselves contain not only detailed passages but also MP3 tracks in which you can follow along with the in-text stories. These features leave a satisfying and efficient experience. My suggestion? Buy these books and start learning all about French today!

  12. Emily G. –

    Decent, like “French in Action” education series.

  13. beth.stafford1 –

    Great stories, with just the right words explained to get the story and learn some French.

  14. Anthony Osafo –

    The main selling point for this eBook is that it is organized into stories. My background in french is beginner. This eBook 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.

  15. jeniffercostaphoto –

    Incredible this e-book: 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.
