Vocabulary and grammatical explanations

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Question words
Question words are amongst the most important vocabulary you'll learn. Not only will they allow you to extract information from others, but you can hold whole conversations with these words alone! Ask any four year old! This lesson covers: How much/many? When? Where? How? Why? Which? What? Who?
The partitive article "some"
The partitive article "some" or "any" is used a lot more in French than in English. It's a pretty simple one, and a good one to master if you'd prefer to have some cake, rather than the whole thing.
Vocabulary and phrases for time concepts
This lesson illustrates some common time concepts, including how to say , "sometimes", "early", "late" - Not to mention the essential phrase, "I eat cheese all the time!"
Phrases for when your French deserts you
If you're planning a jaunt into French-speaking territory, you're bound to encounter communication problems at one point or other. Knowing how to politely say "I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're saying" can be pretty useful.
Making things negative
How to turn a positive statement into a negative statement using ne ... pas. This lesson will show you how to say that you do not like cats, or that you do not want to dance.
My, your, his, her...
Possessive adjectives are what let us say that it's his bike, her lint collection, our troublesome dog, or their noisy rooster. French enjoys a few more of these words than we do in English, and there are some interesting rules for how to use them.
Possession in nouns
If all those possessive adjectives in the previous lesson made you sad, you'll enjoy this lesson. It's a lot more straightforward. You'll learn how to talk about things that belong to specific people: E.g., Antoine's shirt, Catherine's skirt, the children's bedroom, etc.
The definite article
Even if you're brand new to studying French, you probably know that the French like to put la and le in front of words, right? These are the French words for "the", otherwise known as the definite article. Here's how you know which one to use!
Talking about the weather
Otherwise known as the best conversation starter, ever. Learn how to say "it's warm", and "it's raining", and you'll always have something to contribute to a conversation!
French idioms and expressions
Every language has its weird expressions, and French is no different. In this lesson you'll learn what it means to lose your goats, put it under your elbow, or to have a 'fat morning'.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Reading in French is an excellent way to learn new vocabulary and get familiar with French syntax, while at the same time learning about some topic, be it politics, culture, or a favorite hobby. Here are some suggestions for ways to improve your French reading skills, depending on your level.

For beginners, it's good to start with books written for children, no matter what your age. The simplified vocabulary and grammar offer a stress-free introduction to reading in French - plus the cute stories will probably make you smile. I highly recommend Le Petit Prince and the Petit Nicolas books. As your French improves, you can move up grade levels; for example, We know a 50-something intermediate French speaker who enjoys the moderate challenge of reading action-adventure and mystery novels written for teens. If you're in France, don't hesitate to ask librarians and booksellers for help choosing appropriate books.

Another useful technique for beginning students is to read original and translated texts at the same time, whether written in French and translated into English or vice versa. You can do this with individual novels of course, but bilingual books are ideal, as their side-by-side translations make it easy to compare equivalent words and phrases in the two languages.

Also consider French readers, which include short stories, novel excerpts, non-fiction, and poems chosen especially for beginners.

Intermediate students can also make use of translated texts; for example, you could read the translation No Exit in order to become familiar with the themes and events before diving into Jean Paul Sartre's original, Huis clos. Or you could read the French play first and then the English, to see how much you understood in the original.

In a similar vein, when reading the news, it will be easier to understand articles written in French if you are already familiar with the topic in English. In fact, it's a good idea to read the news in both languages no matter what your level of French may be. In the translation/interpretation program at Monterey Institute, professors stressed the importance of reading a daily newspaper in each of our languages, in order to know the relevant vocabulary for whatever is going on in the world. (The varying points of view offered by different news sources is just a bonus.)

It's important to read about topics that interest you: sports, animal rights, sewing, or whatever. Being familiar with the topic will help you understand what you're reading, you'll enjoy learning more about your favorite subject, and the vocabulary you learn will help you later when speaking about that topic in French. It's win-win!

Should you look up unfamiliar words while reading?

It's an age-old question, but the answer isn't so simple. Every time you look up a word, the flow of your reading is interrupted, which can make it difficult to remember the storyline. On the other hand, if you don't look up unfamiliar vocabulary, you might not be able to understand enough of the article or story to make sense of it anyway. So what's the solution?

First and foremost, it's important to choose material that is appropriate for your level. If you're a beginner, diving into a full-length novel will be an exercise in frustration. Instead, choose something simple, like a children's book or a short article about current events. If you're intermediate, you might try more in-depth newspaper articles or short stories. It's perfectly fine - in fact, it's ideal - if there are a few words you don't know so that you can learn some new vocabulary as you work on your reading. But if there are two new words in every sentence, you might want to try something else.<br/>
Likewise, choose something on a topic that interests you. If you like sports, read L'Équipe. If you're interested in music, check out MusicActu. If you're interested in news and literature, read them, otherwise, find something else. There's plenty to read without forcing yourself to slog through something that bores you.

Once you've chosen an appropriate reading material, you can decide for yourself whether to look up words as you go or just underline them / make a list and look them up later. Whichever method you use, you should reread the material afterward, to help cement the new vocabulary and make sure that you understand the story or article. You might also want to make flashcards for future practice/review.

One of the tricky things about French is that the written and spoken languages are quite different. I'm not talking about register (although that is part of it), but rather the relationship between French spelling and pronunciation, which is not at all obvious. Unlike Spanish and Italian, which are spelled phonetically for the most part (what you see is what you hear), French is full of silent letters, enchaînement, and liaisons, all of which contribute to the elusive nature of the French accent. My point is simply that unless you never plan to speak or listen to French, it's a good idea to combine reading with listening in order to make the connection between these two separate but related skills. Listening comprehension exercises, audio books, and audio magazines are all useful tools for this sort of joint practice.

Work on your French reading comprehension with these assorted exercises. Each one includes a story or article, study guide, and test.

Lucie en France was written by Melissa Marshall and is published here with permission. Each chapter in this intermediate-level story includes the French text, study guide, and quiz. It is available with or without a "histoire bilingue" link, which leads to a page with the French story and English translation side-by-side.

Some of these articles are hosted on other sites, so after you read the article, you can find your way to the study guide and test by using the navigation bar at the end of the article. The navigation bars in each exercise are identical except for color.

CHICKEN LITTLE

The cautionary tale of un poulet tout à fait normal who unfortunately believes everything he reads on the internet. This story is written in the present tense, and the audio is a little faster than our other stories.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original tale: A whale and a bird fall in love. Everything is perfect. But the world doesn't stop turning just because a bird and a whale fall in love. Soon they need to fight to stay together. A story for adults as much as children.

The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time there were three pigs who decide to build their own houses, only to run afoul of a wolf with an insatiable love for des côtelettes de porc. Lots of helpful repetition and pork-related vocabulary in this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

A precocious blonde girl breaks into the home of three bears, eats their food, destroys their furniture, and then falls asleep in one of their beds. Plenty of house vocabulary to enjoy in this story.

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood ignores her mother's advice to "reste sur le chemin," and meets a cunning cross-dressing wolf while chasing butterflies. Are you afraid of Le Grand Méchant Loup?

The Ugly Duckling

The classic tale of a goofy-looking duckling who finds his place in the world (after he grows into his good looks, of course).
