But there are so many books to learn French.<\/p>\n
So, what are the best books for learning French and finally progress?<\/p>\n
Today, I’ld like to keep it very simple.<\/p>\n
I only recommend 3 books to have in your library.<\/p>\n
1. The LLF collection : Lire en Fran\u00e7ais Facile by Hachette<\/h2>\n
It’s a collection of short classic and modern novels of French literature.<\/p>\n In this collection, you will find several reading books organized in 4 levels: A1, A2, B1 and B2.<\/p>\n There are easy to read<\/p>\n Attention! All of the novels are intended for foreign students, but some stories are more for adults, others for teens or children.<\/p>\n Here are 3 examples:<\/p>\n Easy reading for adult foreigners<\/p>\n Easy reading for foreign teenagers<\/p>\n Easy reading for foreign children<\/p>\n I highly recommend you try to read 1 fiction book from this collection.<\/p>\n I can’t forget the famous ASSIMIL method (books and CDs) because it works so well.<\/p>\n My mom used an ASSIMIL book to learn English from scratch (before the invention of languages apps) at the age of 45 and it was great!<\/p>\n Take a look at their website to see all the languages courses they offer. <\/p>\n WAW!<\/p>\n As you can see on this screenshot of their website: You will choose your mother tongue, the language you want to learn (French) and your level.<\/p>\n The software then offers you several ASSIMIL books with or without audio.<\/p>\n Assimil, how does it work?<\/p>\n The ASSIMIL method will help you assimilate the rules of French in a natural way thanks to dialogues<\/strong> and sentences in context<\/strong> (at the bakery, at the doctor’s, etc.)<\/p>\n Explanations and exercises are available in French and in your native language (Spanish, German, Arabic, English, etc.)<\/p>\n ASSIMIL is the best book to learn French on your own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It’s a flexible method that motivates foreign learners of French.<\/p>\n With this method, learning French becomes easy and natural.<\/p>\n The CD allows you to do audio exercises, listen to the French accent and repeat to improve your pronunciation.<\/p>\n Need a reference textbook in your French learning?<\/p>\n This is not a book to read from cover to cover in 20 days. It’s a reference book to turn to when you want to learn a rule of French grammar.<\/p>\n It’s super comprehensive: conjugation charts, review sheets, exercises + extra online exercises.<\/p>\n Attention!<\/p>\n The BLED is too complex for beginners: The explanations are quite advanced and not bilingual. They are only in French.<\/p>\n It is too difficult for beginners and intermediate foreign learners.<\/p>\n Le Bled Tout-en-un, a must to consult regularly to improve your French in the long term from the intermediate level.<\/p>\n I prefer the Bled All-in-One to the Bescherelle All-in-One: The BLED is better presented and explained.<\/p>\n Stay motivated even if the content of these manuals seem immense. Revise a little every day and you will see results.<\/p>\n Do you have a beginner-intermediate level?<\/p>\n The next book is for you.<\/p>\n Because it’s too hard to limit myself to 3 books.<\/p>\n Plus, I love to give you gifts!<\/p>\n The latest book I recommend: French All-in-One for Dummies.<\/p>\n The book that clearly explains how the French language works to English speakers.<\/p>\n If you want to learn French grammar and conjugation from the beginner level: I recommend this French textbook explained in English.<\/p>\n It is very complete and well explained + 1 audio CD included.<\/p>\n And there you go!<\/p>\n These were my 3 favorite books to learn French (+ 1 bonus).<\/p>\n Of course, there are many more.<\/p>\n Before you buy a French book, take several criteria into consideration:<\/p>\n And if you’re beginner or intermediate in French, make sure the book always comes with a CD or audios to listen to online: It’s a must!<\/p>\n For you, what are the best books to learn French?<\/p>\n Have you ever read a novel in French?<\/p>\n See you soon for more tips<\/em> in French,<\/p>\n Note: This post is part of the “The 3 books that changed my life” event from the blog “des livres pour changer de vie”<\/a>.
