    About this ebook

    Do you know the biggest secret to learning French quickly?

     

    To enjoy the material! If you are struggling with French conjugations or having trouble finding helpful and engaging reading material you can actually understand… You're not alone. This is exactly what inspired us to write another book in our highly-praised French learning series.

     

    Let's be honest, how is a student supposed to learn when language instructors love providing materials that are tough expert-level literature with tons of grammar and rules? That style of book for new language learners can be overwhelming, and lead you to flip back and forth between a dictionary and your book constantly! Not an effective use of your time nor the best way to learn.

     

    Meet French Stories for Beginners Volume 3: You will find 20 easy-to-read, engaging, and fun stories that will not only help you to significantly expand your vocabulary but also provide you the tools to improve your grasp of the French language. Speed up your comprehension, skyrocket your vocabulary and ignite your imagination with these twenty exciting French short stories!

     

    All stories are written with beginner French learners in mind using vocabulary you can easily use in your day-to-day conversations. With that said, it is highly recommended to have a basic understanding of French to achieve maximum enjoyment and effectiveness of the lessons. This program is excellent for those who want to get an introduction to the language or brush up on their French language skills.

     

    How to Read French Short Stories for Beginners:

    • Each story contains an important lesson in the French language involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
    • A summary in French and in English of what you just read, both to review the lesson and for you to gauge your comprehension of what the tale was about.
    • At the end of those summaries, you'll be provided with a list of vocabulary found in the lesson, as well as phrases that you may not have understood the first time!
    • Finally, you'll be given clever questions in French, so you can prove that you learned something in the stories.

    Even if you have failed multiple times to learn French, we guarantee these exciting short stories will give you words and phrases you can start using with native French speakers immediately. It's time to add the rocket fuel you need to boost your confidence & finally grasp the language!

      Why We Wrote This Book

      We realize how difficult it can be to learn a language. More often than not, learners do not know where to start and can easily feel overwhelmed at tackling a new language.

      At Touri, we have identified a gap in the market for engaging, helpful and easy to read French stories for beginners. We believe it is much easier to understand words in context in story form as opposed to studying verb conjugations or learning the rules of the language. Don’t get us wrong, understanding the construction of the language is important, but the more practical approach is to learn a basic subset of words that you as a learner can practice with today.

      Our goal is for you to feel confident when speaking with native speakers, even if it’s a few words. Focus on building a foundation of commonly used words and you’ll be setting yourself up for long-term success.

      How To Read This Book

      French Short Stories for Beginners Volume 3 is packed with 20 engaging stories, basic vocabulary and memorable characters that make learning French a piece of cake!

      Each story has been written in with you the reader in mind. The best way to read this book is to:

      a.) Read the story without worrying about completely understanding the story but making note of the vocabulary you do not understand.

      b.) Using the two summaries, French and English provided after each story take the time to make sure that you got a full grasp of what happened. Doing this will help you with your comprehension skills.

      c.)  Go back through the story and read it again after having a better grasp of what happened. You may take a more concentrated approach to trying to understand everything, but it’s not necessary.

      d.) Sprinkled throughout each story you will also find vocabulary words in bold, with a translation of each of these words found at the end of the stories. This is also another great way for you to expand your vocabulary and start using them in sentences.

      e.) We want you to get the most out of this book and learn as much as possible, which is why we have also included a list of multiple choice questions that will test your understanding and memory of the tale. The answers can be found on the following page.

      f.)  Most importantly, have fun while you’re exploring a whole new world and learning French! We are so excited for the journey you’re about to embark on!

      Chapter 1. Arts martiaux

      ––––––––

      Un matin chaud en été vit deux enfants assis devant la télévision, regardant l’écran, épatés par une artiste martial qui démontrait quelques mouvements sophistiqués. 

      -Woah...! Beth exclama et dû se rappeler de ne pas cligner des yeux pour ne rien rater. 

      -C'est tellement cool! Son cousin dit. Il regardait l’émission avec elle dès le début et parut aussi impressionné qu'elle l'était avec les yeux grands ouverts et de petits souffles à chaque fois qu'un mouvement était démontré. 

      -Oui! Agréa Beth avec enthousiasme avant que les deux ne se turent de nouveau pour se concentrer sur l’émission. 

      Les deux restèrent ainsi jusqu'à la fin de l'émission et ne se levèrent que lorsqu'ils furent appelés pour descendre prendre leur déjeuner. 

      -Je veux devenir une artiste martiale quand je serai grande! La petite fille dit en sautant les marches de l'escalier. 

      -Pas moi! Dit son cousin en courant derrière elle avec maladresse. Ses mots la firent froncer les yeux en confusion. N'était-il pas aussi impressionné qu'elle, tout à l'heure? Comment pouvait-il dire ça? 

      -Pourquoi pas? Demanda-t-elle sur un ton qui reflétait autant de surprise qu'elle avait ressentit.  

      -J'ai entendu dire que les artistes martiaux doivent s’entraîner très dur. J'ai aussi entendu dire qu'ils doivent casser leurs os et se déchirer les muscles pour devenir aussi fort qu'ils le sont. Répondit-il. 

      -Tu n'es pas sérieux! Exclama-t-elle. C'était horrible! Qui peut bien subir une telle torture? Beth frémit en pensant au fait de subir cette douleur pour devenir un bon artiste martial et elle pensa qu'elle devrait peut être y repenser. 

      Mais, elle continua à penser à l’émission qu'elle avait regardé tout à l'heure et à quel point la dame était cool quand elle donna des coup de points et des coups de pied aux planches en bois. 

      Elle voulait vraiment être comme elle. Peut être qu'elle pourrait prendre des médicaments qui l'aideraient pour supporter la douleur quand elle commencera à s’entraîner? Elle regarda son cousin et plissa les yeux. Peut être que Bobby avait tort à propos de ce qu'il lui avait dit tout à l'heure... Et puis, d'où il savait, lui? Elle devait poser la question à quelqu'un de confiance et elle savait exactement à qui s'adresser! 

      Plus tard dans la journée, quand son cousin fit sa sieste, elle descendit parler à son grand frère qui était chargé de rester avec eux pendant que leurs parents étaient absents pour la journée. 

      -Coucou, Keith! Elle le salua avec bonne humeur. Son grand frère était la personne la plus intelligente qu'elle connaissait. Plus intelligent que ses parents, même! Il répondait toujours à ses questions et même quand il ne connaissait pas la réponse, il la cherchait pour elle. 

      -Coucou, sœurette! Répondit-il avec un sourire en fermant le livre qu'il était entrain de lire. Que puis-je faire pour toi? Dit-il en lui pinçant le nez avec un sourire taquin.  

      Beth rigola et s'assied à coté de lui sur le canapé. -J'ai une question pour toi. Elle commença. Quand son frère hocha la tête elle continua. Est-ce qu'il est vrai que les artistes martiaux doivent se briser les os et se déchirer les muscles quand ils s’entraînent pour devenir plus forts? 

      Les yeux de son grand frère devinrent plus large et il prit un moment avant de lui répondre. -Je suis sûr que ce n'est pas le cas. Qui te l'a dit? 

      -Bobby. 

      -Et bien, comme je te l'ai dit, je ne crois pas que c'est vrai mais regardons sur internet juste pour être certains. 

      Beth regarda Keith sortir son téléphone de sa poche et taper dessus avant de lire ce qui était écrit sur l'écran pendant quelques instants. 

      -Bon, c'est un peu correcte, en quelques sortes. Beth laissa échapper un souffle d'horreur le poussant à lever une main pour la calmer. Mais, ce n'est pas aussi douloureux que ce qu'on croit. Beth parut un peu soulagée par ces mots. 

      -Et
