Classic French Tales

A winning challenge

Understanding longer conversations, or a movie in French can be quite a challenge. It's not only a question of vocabulary or grammar: you need to train your brain to stay focus in French for a longer time. This is why I wrote this French tale series: because you already know the story of most of these fairy tales, the French version will be easier to understand, and you will be able to stay focus for a longer time.

Reachable for all levels of French learners

I will first tell my own version of the tale, like I tell it to my daughter. This version uses a lot of dialogues, and is very lively, sometimes a bit goofy, lots of fun. It is also a great tool to introduce your own children to French rhythm and pronunciation.

A bridge towards advanced French

I will also read - whenever available - the original version, from the 18th century. This is much more difficult, but my version will have prepared you to a lot of the vocabulary, and works as a bridge to help you conquer the original version.
