For low- to high-intermediate learners

Improve your French and expand your vocabulary with topics that matter.

For the first time, you’ll learn to improve your French while learning about the main concepts and key figures of Western philosophy.

“I love Olly’s work - and you will too!” (Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times bestseller A Mind for Numbers)

Told through short, manageable chapters in intermediate French, you’ll become confident in the words, phrases and expressions you need to speak about the topics you care about.

Written in a conversational, easy-to-follow format that makes the concepts easy to understand, Western Philosophy in Simple French explores the main traditions of Western philosophers from Aristotle to Descartes, and from Kant to Nietzsche.

But that’s not all! Philosophy has many real-life uses, and this book explores the way in which you can implement them in your life while improving your vocabulary, comprehension and fluency in French.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• 25 chapters written in conversation format, so you can learn about Western philosophy without the struggle of reading an academic text.
• Helpful chapter summaries at the end of each chapter to help you understand the text.
• Chapters that are carefully written to be accessible for intermediate learners (CEFR B1-B2), so you can read purposively, at your level.
• Word lists with English definitions in every chapter, so you can get instant translations of any difficult words. This means you can focus on enjoying the history rather than wasting time in a dictionary.(Kindle and Paperback only).

Created by Olly Richards, language teacher and author, Western Philosophy in Simple French gives you an experience in real French that you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll be better prepared for using French in the real world, speak with more confidence, and take a giant leap towards fluency in French!

C’est très intéressant !

J’aime beaucoup cet l’audio, c’était vraiment agréable pour moi. Je pense que tu aime aussi bonne écoute !

Good comprehensible input - but the performance is lacking

This book is primarily in the form of dialogues, but the narrator doesn’t make any effort to distinguish between the characters, which, in my opinion, makes it near impossible to properly follow the dialogues just via the audio. It would be much better with different voice actors for each character, or at least, some attempt to separate the characters in the dialogue.

Aside from that, with the book in hand (physically or ebook), this would be helpful to hear the text read by a native speaker.
