I am impressed. This beat my expectations.

This is the very first book I got on audible.
I did not expect the book to be the way it was. The book was nicely organized and blew me away by how structured it was. I wish the PDF was part of the audio book like lyrics on an mp3. However reading the PDF and listening to the audio was a pleasant experience. I have naturally put hours into this book. It's perfect for beginners to anyone lacking the French language.
It's my go to place to learn French.

C'est bien!

I really enjoyed this book! French spelling has always made it harder for me to pronounce things right, but listening really helps me to perfect the pronunciation. The speaker is also slow enough and clear, but still able to keep a natural pace. The entire audio book is great for learning conjugation and a fresh way to practice language learning.

Great for Beginners and for brushing up!

I really like how this audio book plays out. The first half is a lady who speaks quite slowly and at the end of each short story she says the difficult words again and then says them in English - repeating it twice, which I found to help get vocabulary I wasnt familiar with to stick in my mind.


The second half was spoken by a man with a thick french accent. He spoke a little faster but he spoke the words so clearly. And with the brush up with the 1st half of the book I really felt like I was understood the conversation.


I have really enjoyed listening to these short stories. I studied French at A level and thought I had forgotten everything, but listening to these, everything has come flooding back and I've been learning new vocabulary with each story. I have quite a long journey to work so this has made it a lot more interesting and helped me get back into learning French!

Good way to start learning French

I liked the fact that the narrators speak slowly and sometimes repeat the words/phrases so you can fully understand them. I also liked that they use a simple but really commonly used vocabulary, having the proper French accent.

Now I feel more confident in my abilities to speak French, a language I always wanted to learn. I am currently a bit closer to my dream of going to France and only talk in French.

The stories are interesting because they are contemporary and the narrators talk about very common topics, which is a very good way to learn the most used words.

Overall, it’s a very efficient and easy way to start learning French. I can listen to it whenever I want: while cooking, driving, before going to bed, etc. It’s a game changer!

Definitely recommend!

Listening skills improved

I really struggled with listening to French conversation but this QuickBooks has really helped me. I love the format of first read through with vocab and then I tried a faster pace for the read through without vocab. I
I really do feel my understanding has improved and can't wait to listen to the next book

Highly recommended!!!

It is a very fun and helpful material to learn the French language with. It has further ignited my interest to study the language. Very informative! Easy to recall since words are repeated a couple of times. The pace (of the speaker) was easy to follow. As it is an audio material, you can listen to it anywhere which makes it very handy. Thank you. Highly recommended!

Quality Clear audio book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

A friend interested in learning french? Definitely, from a very slow and boring way of learning french in school. This book has captivated me and grabbed my attention, i feel it has given me a much better approach on my french pronunciation and it would therefore help my fellow french students as well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wouldn't say this is a book you want to listen to all in one sitting, (especially if you are a beginner like me). I often found myself going back and listening to things again so i could fully understand what's going on.

Any additional comments?

Overall the audio quality is good and i can clearly hear what is being said, sometimes they also repeat words which i find useful. A good start to an early beginner just starting to learn french.

Great for beginners!

What made the experience of listening to French Short Stories for Beginners the most enjoyable?

This book is so much more helpful than any language learning books I have tried before. The stories are read slowly and clearly. Listening to them is definitely improving my French listening abilities. Vocabulary is repeated with translations so it is also good for increasing vocabulary. This book is great for beginners. I definitely recommend it!

A Fantastic Book! I would definitely recommend

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would most certainly recommend this book to a friend. This book has helped me rediscover my long-lost love of the French Language and Culture as a whole. I bought this book after a recommendation from a friend and I must say that I am supremely happy with it!
One of the hardest things about learning a new language is being able to practice it on a consistent basis, this book tackles that problem head on by providing easy to access short stories which are each fun and engaging. This book comes with audio narration which is very clear and helps an incredible amount with pronunciation. The stories are read at a nice steady pace for a beginner like me. Learn French with Stories will have you talking French in no time at all!

What was one of the most memorable moments of French Short Stories for Beginners?

After reading you part of a story, the narrator repeats the sentence slowly, going over each word and phrase. This is incredibly helpful as it reinforces how words and phrases an be strung together to form meaning.

Have you listened to any of Frederic Bibard and Mariem Nouni ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Personally, I have not listened to any other performance by Frederic Bibard and Mariem Nouni. However, the narration in this book is truly amazing and based on this fact I would certainly consider giving their other performances a listen.

Any additional comments?

If you are interested in learning French, this is the book for you.
