French Easy Reader: Volume 1

French Easy Reader

The bridge from beginner French into solid B1, with thirteen original stories set across the French-speaking world: a barge racing the winter flood on the rivers of Lyon, a lost swarm over the rooftops of Paris, a rescued family recipe in an Abidjan maquis, a retired miner and his grandson on the slag heaps of the North. Every story runs bilingual, then repeats in a French-only Immersion retelling, with full IPA pronunciation and an eleven-point primer on the sounds, glides, and rhythm of spoken French. Free narrated audio of every Immersion story is included at the Vega French Club.
