Series: 101 Conversations

Improve your spoken French from home with 101 real-world conversations in simple, everyday French.

Real French people don't speak like your textbook... so it's no wonder you feel unprepared when it's your turn to speak! This book fixes that. 101 Conversations in Simple French offers a unique and engaging way to learn. Unlike traditional language textbooks, this book provides you with 101 authentic conversations between six French characters that are set in a gripping story, with each conversation limited to around 15 lines of dialogue so they are easy to digest.

In this story, two friends, Alice and Sophie, arrive in Paris for what they think will be a relaxing vacation exploring the city. Things, however, take an unexpected turn when they discover some vary valuable paintings in one of Paris' antique markets.

Here's what you'll get:

1. 101 conversations in simple French, so you can learn the real French spoken in the street, understand spoken French with ease, and have French roll off your tongue more fluently;

2. Over 15,000 words of dialogue - an unparalleled resource that will immerse you in French, at a level you can understand, so you can learn real spoken French without getting lost or overwhelmed;

3. Real, daily spoken French throughout - it's as if we held up a microphone and recorded the exact words coming out of people's mouths - so you can learn the expressions that real people use on the street (not in textbooks). You'll sound more authentic when you speak and make French-speaking friends more easily;

4. Situational dialogues from typical daily circumstances, so you'll prepare yourself to survive realistic French encounters, in shops and cafes, and make meeting people and making arrangements second nature;

5. Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for beginners (A2-B1 on the CEFR), so you can start to learn from real, spoken conversations, even as a beginner, without having to go through the rollercoaster of difficult conversations with strangers;

6. Each conversation is limited to around 15 lines of dialogue (150 words), so you can get that crucial sense of achievement and motivation when you finish each conversation, and say I actually understood all of that!

7.

Word lists with English definitions in every chapter, so you can get instant translations of any difficult words and focus on reading and enjoying the stories rather than wasting time in a dictionary (eBook& Paperback only);

8. Summaries of each conversation which contextualise each dialogue, so you can easily follow the plot and enjoy the story without getting lost;

The story is set in France and includes expressions that are typical in Parisian French. However, since the conversations use mostly neutral French, you'll have plenty to learn, whether you're learning the French of Canada, North Africa or any other French-speaking community.

Created by Olly Richards, internationally-renowned language teacher and author, 101 Conversations in Simple French gives you an education in real French that you won't find anywhere else. You'll be better prepared for using French in the real world, speak with more confidence, and take a giant leap towards fluency in French!
