LEARNING FRENCH RESOURCES / FLE
Are you learning French? Bravo! You can do it.
Think of us as the "Home Depot" of French language learning! ;-)
Total Beginner
If you are just starting out, we recommend starting with our Methods and Guides.
As you master the basics, try simple picture books and readers for children. They are excellent for language acquisition and the soul!
Intermediate
For an enjoyable read, browse our selection of books specifically written for French students (Advanced Beginner to High Intermediate).
For authentic materials, try:
- Non-Fiction for Kids: Educational and fun. We love the Quelle Histoire biographies and the "La Véritable Histoire de..." series.
- First Chapter Books
Ready for a challenge? Try Middle Grade or Teen Fiction, including favorites like Harry Potter!
Upper Intermediate & Advanced
Seeking authentic materials for native speakers? Even if you're a bit "rusty," try these:
- Accessible Novels: Books with manageable vocabulary.
- Easy-to-Read Classics: Great literature doesn't always require complex prose. Try our curated selection of simpler French classics.
Bandes Dessinées (BDs) — Graphic Novels!
French Graphic Novels are fantastic for intermediate students. The illustrations help enormously with comprehension, and the limited text makes looking up words much less overwhelming!
