Bilingual Fairy Tales in French and English: A Story Collection from Charles Perrault and James Planché

Very nice layout and flow, helps to see both languages and help to remember vocabulary.

I am now 2 years deep in the journey of learning French myself and teaching it at my homeschool co-op. I've found on-the-go kindle reads to be a great fit for improving my language skills, and choosing scrolling stories and guides over social media. I decided to snag these fairy tales in French and English because I felt it would be a good choice for my co-op lessons. The children already know many of the tales in this text as the selection is a nice mix of common and unique stories. We have read them through the lens of other cultures prior, as well, which will make this next material less obscure. It was a perfect choice, as I imagine their innate knowledge of the stories will make digesting it in french that much simpler. I went through the book to ensure it's what I was looking for before planning lessons around it, and as a moderate speaker/reader, I highly suggest this to even novice students hoping to sharpen their French reading skills. The way the stories are organized makes retention and practical application possible, even for young audiences! I also found the audio files for the kindle version to be SO useful in a group and personal setting. This takes reading comprehension a bit further and enhances speaking/listening capacity without the repetitive annoyance one can find in an online language class. If you got the kindle version, again, MAKE SURE TO GET THOSE DOWNLOADS. They are available right at the front of the book, and especially if you're learning for application, is it the way to go.Books like these are really what learning a new language should be like. Fun, relatable, familiar, applicable, versatile. Looking forward to sharing these stories with my students!

Enjoying the pronunciation. Fairy tales can be a little violent - so “Blue Beard” is not for the young. Wish i could slow the speed.

My daughter and I have enjoyed this book. It tells well known fairy tales with the first paragraph in French followed by the translation in English. This pattern continues throughout the stories. Each fairy tale is in its original form though, so understand the endings are not the Disney versions.

Currently learning French and I loved the fairy tales and getting more vocabulary. Also practicing pronunciation reading out loud has helped too.

Stories were very disturbing and are not written for children, they leave no gory detail out.

Love this for homeschool French.

This was a great book and I'm glad I got it. The introduction was a beautiful way to start off and I agree with it. The artwork is very engaging for children especially and it's a great way to learn french since my family and I have just started wanting to learn recently. The audio was a great bonus because I can play it for my children while preparing a meal which helps.I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn French and anyone who enjoys family time with great stories.
