Summary

Learn the different conjugations of the highly useful verb avoir, dire, être, faire, finir, manger, pouvoir, savoir, venir, voir, and vouloir without memorizing anything. Using repetition exercises designed to build your reflexes, the drills will help you develop an instinct to select the correct verb form naturally, with no more hesitations.

Pronounce French Verbs the Right Way

The drills are narrated by a French speaker and guaranteed to help you learn and practice correct pronunciation - as it is spoken today.

Highly Convenient and Effective

Each drill is five- to six-minutes long and is very easy to do. You can listen to the drills practically anywhere - in your commute, while driving or running, or during any free time you have.

The tenses covered include the affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms of:

  • Présent de l'indicatif
  • Passé composé
  • Imparfait
  • Futur de l'indicatif
  • Futur antérieur
  • Conditionnel présent
  • Présent du subjonctif

Tenses that are barely used in actual speech such as passé simple and plus que parfait are not included in the drills so you could focus on the essentials.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

5/5

What did you like most about French Verb Drills Mega Bundle?

the writers use of repetition.

What did you like best about this story?

the witers explaination on when to use the verbs and the fact that he explained in English.

What does Frederic Bibard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

the way the writers explains and also gives one time to repeat after him makes the book interesting and if I had just read it I wouldn't be this confident

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't have an emotional reaction to the book but it made me laugh.

Any additional comments?

Understanding the French language is one thing, but speaking in the right tenses has been the most complicated bit to me. This book helps to simplify ones understanding of conjugation, as the writer takes time to conjugate in each tense more than once. The more you read out with the writer the more you get an understanding of when and how to use your tenses. I would definitely recommend this audible book to anyone who is looking to perfect their use of the French language.

“A Must Tool for French Learning”

Any additional comments?

This book is extremely great if you have started French, and want to get the hang of verbs and tenses. This requires you to have some idea of French basic pronouns beforehand, but nothing very complicated.
Frederic Bibard allows you to repeat after him, at first slowly, followed by a quiz which lets you practise in normal pace. Which gives you adequate time to try something by yourself the first time you start listening to the audiobook.

The way it’s presented in is short, simple, and each chapter is divided according to the verb taught – so you can go back to any chapter for the verb that you want to refresh on. The free PDF that comes with the audiobook is really helpful, as well. Particularly if you want to practise writing and spelling.

I also like Bibard’s performance. As someone who’s taken a lot of French classes, it’s very important to get the assistance of someone with the perfect accent so you can receive as much real-life experience is possible. And I’ll say the book excels at this.

Overall, it was a great experience. The shot and to-the-point works great, especially if you are a busy person, all you need is to give is 5-6 minutes per verbs. I’ll wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who is starting French.

A Useful Product

This audio is a fantastic way of breaking down French verbs, using a simple method. The pauses are long enough to be able to repeat the verbs and then listen to the way they should sound - further enhancing my pronounciation. The narrator translates each verb at the beginning of each chapter and how they would be used in French, which I have found to be very useful.

Repetition is the mother of learning

Any additional comments?

This Audio Book really helped me improve my pronunciation and verb conjugations make more sense to me now. I have learned very useful things like when to use a specific tense or which form of interrogation is normally used. I liked that I was given the possibility not only to repeat the verbs, but also to check what I learned as the drills give you practice in random order. Great way to learn.

Excellent

It is a great way to solidify learning using a passive method- I have found that my pronunciation has improved as well as my confidence with french verbs and how they work. They have started to become second nature to me. A great product and enormously helpful.

Easy Way To Learn French Verbs

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

Bought audiobook as I am trying to learn French, yet struggle to grasp how to use verbs correctly. Have found it to be an excellent learning tool. The verbs are spoken slowly, initially, to teach pronunciation. I found it helpful to then hear how they should sound, when spoken quickly by a fluent French speaker

Disappointing

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No. The idea is great, learning verbs and conjugation by repeating them randomly. But the idea was spoiled by the voice of the reader. A man with soft blurring french, suitable to romantic characters in a movie, is the sole reader, both in short explanations in English and the actual French part, which should be clear and audible. It's sometimes hard to understand what he says in English and the attention is not drawn to the learning but listening, all of 27 hours. There should be at least two voices, one reading in English and maybe another one for random questions, and one for french. I managed to listen the first 6 hours but not really knowing, at times, what I was listening to.
Please do this again with proper readers. And please, not the sharp and loud American English speaker who overpowers everything, like in the 'Stories for beginners', but clear pleasant-to-listen-to voices, there are a lot of good examples.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Really useful, but sooo long...

To start off with the good stuff - I really like Frederic Bibard's voice - it's like listening to dripping honey! And he's hit on a good formula to teach some French verbs, the repetition must help it all stick in the mind.
But... it's quite slow, and covers a handful of verbs over many, many hours. I've been listening to it at night, and it is an excellent cure for insomnia. Hopefully I'm learning in my sleep...

The best, time efficient way to learn.

As someone who has studied French before as a language, I know first hand how difficult it may be to learn a language. "Where to start?" you may ask. Well, this audiobook gives you the perfect balance of learning and practice. The book allows you to respond to the speaker confidently in good time thanks to the perfectly spaced pauses in the drills. This never gave the feeling of being rushed or having to wait too long as many other learning methods do. The increasing difficulty is also done at an extremely easy pace. Although sometimes hard to understand, over time the speaker begins to feel natural.

The nature of this method of learning doesn't require too much prior knowledge, just an interest. I managed to speak competent sentences within a few hours of listening. This is all done passively too, allowing for other secondary activities to be carried out such as drawing, resting or crafting.

Overall, an excellent learning experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who has thought about learning a new language.

Good material, needs narrator voice easier on the ear

I felt that the professional narrators hired by Olly Richards were far superior, and therefore the material easier to listen to. Writers should not attempt to be actors, but hire actors that can best portray the material. Notable exception are audio books by Sylvie Laine.
