If you are looking for more long-form content, the Une Semaine A series is what you were searching for all along.

These bilingual audio novels are created to be both interesting and to expose you to new vocabulary and French expressions while keeping you in the context of a story adapted for your French level.

We have 5 Une Semaine A audio novels available. They follow some of the same characters spending a week in different regions of France. You experience with them typical everyday situations as well as region-specific activities (like visiting a museum in Paris, renting a bike in the Mont Ventoux or visiting a cheese maker in the Alps).

Each audio novel is written to a A2/B1 level and features a lot of dialogs and situations that you, as a visitor to France, would experience. You learn new vocabulary and expressions as well as discover a region. It’s like a holiday guide book mixed with a novel!

It also features a full transcript with a hide-able English translation that you can refer to if you need to read a particular word or phrase.

Want a little extra work? Each chapter of the story ends with a Q&A of 20 questions to test your understanding. It’s optional, but it’s a good way to test your understanding of the story and more subtle vocabulary/expressions.
