What we’re about
Come learn a new language with me as I read through dual language stories for French language beginners. Native and more advanced speakers welcome as I too am a beginner. Book purchase is optional, but having the material in front of you will help with your learning progress as new words are listed at the bottom of each page. Keeping an open mind, let's try to learn one new word per week.
The poll is now closed and we have a winner in choosing our next book candidate, Mohammad, Ma Mère et Moi by Benoit Cohen with a weighted score of 28 points.
We will be reading the 2023 printing by J’AI LU publisher, ISBN: 9782290170038 .
This printing can be found at Bonjour Book, Amazon, and Kindle. It was also made into a movie titled, “Ma France a moi” that you may find on Netflix (remember Netflix changes their movie choices monthly).
There is also a previous printing of this story in 2018 by Flammarion publishers, ISBN: 9782081421202 . This printing is also available on Amazon and Kindle.
Since this story was originally published in French, we shouldn’t have the discrepancies in French like we did with Animal Farm which was originally written in English. This book may not be dual language, but I am OK with typing a few pages to translate into English each week, we just will not be reviewing footnotes. This means we may read through the book at a faster pace.
If anyone would like to see the result scoring of all the book candidates, please send me a direct message, and I will be happy to share this with you.
Thank you for your interest in reading in French with the Dual Language Book Club for French Language Beginners.
We will begin our next book after Thanksgiving 2024.
Au revoir pour l'instant
