Publisher's summary

For low - to high-intermediate learners.

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

When it comes to mastering a foreign language, learning around your interests makes all the difference. But finding audiobooks designed for language learners can be hard! This audiobook fixes that. For the first time, you’ll learn to improve your French while listening about the history of World War II.

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

World War II in Simple French gives you all that you can wish for from a real history book without the tough academic terminology which may be difficult for intermediate learners. The story does not focus only on the main events of the conflict, but rather it includes the less-known aspects of WWII from the famous battlefields to the social aspects of life between 1939 to 1946 to the international French-speaking stage.

Over 40 engaging and informative sections, you’ll immerse yourself in the history of WWII and master French in the process.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Forty-seven sections in simple French, so you can learn about WWII without the struggle of listening to an academic text
• Helpful key facts at the beginning of each section to help guide you through
• Sections that are carefully written to be accessible for intermediate learners (CEFR B1-B2), so you can listen purposively, at your level
• Fun-facts at the end of each section, so that you can dazzle your friends with interesting facts about the WWII period

The sections are written in Parisian French. However, since the text uses mostly “neutral” French, you’ll have plenty to learn, whether you’re learning the French of France, Quebec, or North Africa.

Created by Olly Richards, language teacher and author, World War II 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!
