A series of engaging, interesting and sometimes very funny stories to listen to and learn some new French phrases.

An excellent, engaging resource for learning French. The audiobook should have been divided more logically though as I wanted to go back to the beginning of a section but found it very difficult to do so. It would also have been really useful to have a full transcript of the stories in the pdf rather than selected words and phrases.

A very good resource

The content and the reading are both excellent. But it was extremely frustrating to work with because the audio recording, whose text is nominally split into multiple discrete chapters, has been broken into just three arbitrary chapters, making it almost impossible to go back and relisten to certain parts. For a "normal" audiobook this perhaps wouldn't matter. But this is a pedagogic resource which neccesitates targetted relistening.

In short, I would highly recommend the content and the reading, but I would warn potential listeners that they are likely to be frustrated and confused by the experience of listening to it!

Excellent audiobook, let down by poor chapter mark
