French Self-Taught


Lu par LibriVox Volunteers

(4.8 stars; 19 reviews)

Part of a Librivox initiative to develop a free language-learning resource. This book is old, but the basics haven't changed too much. All the French content is spoken by native French speakers.

The book includes sections on vocabulary, nouns, adjectives, verbs and phrases, and will still prove useful. Some of the phrases are dated but hilarious. If you need a flannel petticoat, or to chastise your washerwoman, this book is definitely for you! (Summary by Ruth Golding)

French read by Michaël Cadilhac, Nadine Eckert-Boulet and ani poirier.

Critiques

A favorite language course


(5 stars)

Although these lessons are derived from an older text, they provide a no-nonsense overview of French vocabulary, grammar, and phrases. Whereas some vocabulary and formalities evoke a genteel fin de siècle French (and lack the dynamic slang of contemporary speech), the constructions are sturdy. They provide an excellent way to brush up on one's school French. The readers are pleasant to listen to; they did an excellent job.

Great Recording

Clear pronunciations and good supplement to other French language learning materials. Old fashioned but very useful.
