    About this ebook

    What is the most challenging thing about learning French?

     

    It is finding helpful and engaging reading material that you can actually understand…. That is exactly what inspired us to write this book.

     

    How is a student supposed to learn when language instructors love providing materials that are tough expert-level literature with tons of grammar and rules? That style of book for new language learners can be overwhelming, and lead you to flip back and forth between a dictionary and your book… constantly! 

    Not an effective use of your time nor the best way to learn.  

     

    Is this how children learn their language skills? No.

     

    Enter French Stories for Beginners Vol. 1:  You will find 10 easy-to-read, engaging, and fun stories that will help you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the French language.

    All stories are written using vocabulary that you could easily use in your day-to-day conversations.

     

    The stories are written with beginner French learners in mind. With that said, it is highly recommended to have a basic understanding of French to achieve maximum enjoyment and effectiveness of the lessons. 

    This program is excellent for those who want to get an introduction to the language or brush up on their French language skills.

     

    How to Read French Short Stories for Beginners:

    • Each story contains an important lesson in the French language (Verbs, Adjectives, Past Tense, Giving Directions, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
    • A summary in French and in English of what you just read, both to review the lesson and for you to gauge your comprehension of what the tale was about.
    • At the end of those summaries, you'll be provided with a list of vocabulary found in the lesson, as well as phrases that you may not have understood the first time!
    • Finally, you'll be given clever questions in French, so you can prove that you learned something in the stories.

      French Short Stories for Beginners - Touri Language Learning

      Chapter 1. Ça Roule !

      ––––––––

      C’était un beau jour d’été, le soleil transperçait les rideaux de la chambre et, on pouvait sentir la douce chaleur du petit matin. Il était difficile de continuer à ignorer le chant des oiseaux et des criquets, l’aboiement du chien et le brouhaha des habitants de la maison.

      Martin soupira avec regret, et éjecta sa couverture d’un coup de pied. Il bailla et se frotta les yeux avant de quitter son lit. Il jeta un coup d’œil à son réveil et grogna de mécontentement quand il remarqua qu’il s’était réveillé beaucoup plus tôt qu’il n’avait prévu.

      -Et moi qui voulais faire la grasse matinée... marmonna-t-il.

      Il alla faire sa toilette et, avant de se brosser les dents, laissa échapper un sourire moquer en voyant son reflet. Ses cheveux était tout ébouriffés ! ... Il avait même un peu de bave qui dégoulinait du bout de sa bouche.

      Une fois propre il se dirigea vers la cuisine pour prendre son petit déjeuner. Il y avait une délicieuse odeur dans toute la maison et même s’il ne savait pas de quoi il s’agissait, il en voulait une grosse part. En entrant, il entendit sa mère et son grand frère chuchoter puis les vit. Maman se tenait debout en face de la cuisinière et Lucas était assis sur le comptoir à côté d’elle.

      -J’ai économisé assez d’argent pendant les trois dernières années. N’oublie pas que je travaillais aussi pendant l’été, disait Lucas. Il avait la tête inclinée envers Maman et lui jetait un regard suppliant.

      Maman lui lança un regard douteux avant de retourner son attention vers la poêle. Elle retourna une crêpe avant de poser sa spatule puis questionna Lucas : -Mais est-ce que tu crois que ça va te suffire pour acheter une voiture ? C’est plutôt cher comme engin tu sais...

      -Oui ! Une petite voiture d’occasion, je n’ai pas besoin d’une voiture neuve dès le début. Le grand frère répondit.

      Lorsque sa mère ne dit rien, Lucas ajouta : - S’il te plait Maman, je viens d’avoir mon bac. Je ne vais quand même pas vous demander de me conduire à l’Université tous les jours lors de la rentrée ! Et puis, ce n’est pas comme si vous deviez conduire Martin au collège non plus puisqu’il est en vacances. Papa a plus de temps libre maintenant.

      Maman laissa échapper un soupir puis sourit indulgemment : – D’accord, je vais en parler à ton père, Acquiesça-t-elle, mais la décision lui revient.

      Lucas hocha la tête avec un sourire et embrassa Maman sur la joue en la remerciant. –C’est tous ce que je te demande. Dit-il.

      Martin se doutant de ce qui se passait, décida de confirmer ses soupçons. -Qu’est ce qu’il y a ? Il dit d’un ton nonchalant, en sortant une boite de jus du réfrigérateur.

      - Bonjours chéri, Ton frère veut apprendre à conduire. Elle répondit.

      Papa avait accepter de donner des cours de conduite à Lucas. Tous les jours, ils sortaient l’après-midi, passaient environ deux heures dehors puis rentraient de mauvaise humeur. Papa et Lucas étaient clairement contrariés après les fameux cours de conduite et Martin se demanda ce qui pouvait bien se passer pour qu’ils soient aussi fâchés, ce qui le poussa à demander de les accompagner pour la prochaine leçon.

      -Je m’ennuis, ça me tente de venir avec vous, dit-il en guise d’excuse pendant qu’ils dînaient. -Même si ce n’est que pour un jour. Ajoutât-t-il.

      Lucas acquiesça d’un haussement d’épaule, et Martin vu maman qui fixait lourdement Papa, le poussant à accepter sa demande. C’était décidé, Martin allait partir avec eux !

      Le lendemain, Martin s’installa sur la banquette arrière, et mit sa ceinture de sécurité. Il observa silencieusement Papa s’asseyant en avant et Lucas au volant. Ce dernier ajusta son siège ainsi que les rétroviseurs avant de mettre le contact.

      Environ une heure et demie après, le trio rentra à la maison. Papa et Lucas étaient fâchés comme les derniers jours et Martin avait l’air pensif. Il avait compris la cause de leur conflit. Papa n’est pas un bon enseignant. Il n’était pas du tout patient, et Lucas n’appréciait pas ses directives et commentaires dits sur un ton
