I read this story six months when I first started studying French and could understand maybe 20%. Six months later I'm able to understand 80%. Keep at it, language isn't easy but definitely worth it.

How to make the most of this text:
*Side note*
A) this is intermediate so if you can't understand the majority of it, try to find children's songs or stories with pictures to start building your vocab.
Actual instructions:
1) Listen once while reading the text.
2) Listen again without reading the text to see what you can catch.
3) Read the text and pause after each line, repeating after the speaker.
Voilà !

Learning a language is like learning a new culture.

I got about 85% of this story. A few details escaped me, and the joke in the store I had to go back and listen again to understand it. But! It was great practice for my receptive skills. Good story too! You never know what adventures you’ll get into even when you think things aren’t going as planned!

This is exactly the kind of French tuition I have been looking for since ages. I had learnt French in my school and college days. I can read and understand written French and can also write it but when it comes to the French accent, I am stumped. This video lesson is a god-sent opportunity for me to acquaint myself with the exact French pronunciations.A big thumbs up!

[faithbwire]

I love that i can listen to some words... And when i read along while listening i get the context thank you

[sophiergc]

Parfait. Perfect. I am french.
So : the prononciation is very good, unlike some others I have heard on YouTube.
Really french reading !
So, you can go on ! :-)

I definitely think that was a more intermediate level story for français learners, but great pronunciation, good job!

Just so you know that I really enjoyed learning French with this text

[ndjubilant]

I understand everything. Every word is familiar. The power of years of studying, French books, tv and movies. Relaxing to maintain my French. You can succeed in French, too.

I first listened to this at the end of my Basic 1 class and understood probably 10%. I tried again today (4 days after finishing Basic 2), manage to read it aloud (mostly correct compared to the audio) and understood 90% of the story. And to think that I thought I hardly learned anything in B1 & B2 (2 months of intensive). Très heureuse!!

[marias.p.]

Great story! Without artificial computer-generated voice. I would really like to listen to more of these!

[yulia]

I was so happy in my journey to learn French to watch this and understand the majority of this story. Merci pour ma confiance en moi et la practique.

[irenemcnamara]

I was finally able to listen to the entire story! I am making very small improvements, but I will get there!

[RitueliDaeli]

I've just completed A1 and this is the right material for me to learn now
Thank you so much 🙏

[sinaven]

Merci! This is the good word that I remember because I'm a beginner so I don't know how to comment in French so Merci is good to express my feeling about this story

[andimjenny]

I was learning french with my school since year 3 (in yr9 now) and I only this year started learning behind the scenes myself. I’m good at the easy french class work we do, however when listening to this I realise I haven’t learnt much really. My goal is to be be able to read a whole proper book in french, whilst that may take many years I will try!!

[seungmin]

I am going to start to learn French today and I am going to try to understand the story every day. See how my French is getting improved every day:)

[dragonswordmountain]

The first story i read in french...that was so cool, very good idea. I liked the narrator voice and enjoyed the video.
