This author is a A+ FRENCH INSTRUCTION EXPERT! This book and everything else published by this author is well worth purchasing. This particular book has easily digestible short stories with English translations, vocab lists, audios, multiple choice questions and written short answer responses - just what a French learner needs for reinforcement and growth. I also use this author's pronunciation book and conjugation books - which are accompanied by audios and videos - through her website theperfectfrench.com. Highly recommend this and her other products for honing French reading, speaking and writing!

I moved to France knowing no French. Dylane’s books and videos have been my lifeline. This latest book is no exception. The stories relate to real life, so they are useful in everyday life. The glossary includes the genders. This is incredibly important, because proper sentence construction depends on knowing genders. I have used workbooks that don’t include this key information and you spend half your time looking up words for their genders. I don’t need to know how to look up a word, I need to know the gender!! Dylane understands what is important. The questions are helpful and it is so convenient to have the questions and answers right after the reading, no flipping to the back of the book and again to the front. Time-saving, once again. Finally, the audio is done in Dylane’s typical style. Her slowly and clearly executed sentences make it easy to understand and practice repeating. This ticks all the boxes: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. It is an incredibly good value and I highly recommend it for anyone who has a basic level (end of A1) French.

Another great book from Dylane. A collection of short stories around the A2/B1 level. The inclusion of exercises and downloadable audio makes it a great all round package to improve your French reading and listening.

I have recently purchased French Short Stories and I love it! The fact it isn’t just a straight forward book boring book to read is ideal for someone like myself who is learning to speak French as a necessity after having moved to France. I am limiting myself to reading one story per day as suggested by Dylane and I look forward to my daily fix. I love the fact there is a quiz after each story and also you can obtain the audio to go with it. The story is also written in English to help you if you get stuck. All in all a fantastic book and excellent value for the price. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a more interesting way to learn French.
