http://www.mathfacile.comWhat beginner French books do you recommend for me?
Try the books of Comtesse de Segur like 'Les malheurs de Sophie', 'Les petites filles modeles' and 'Les memoirs d'un ane'. You could also try Charles Perrault with his collection of stories like Le chat Botte, Prince Riquet a la Houppe, La belle au Bois Dormant, Barbe Bleu. Surely you have heard about the famous Martine .It's the story of a little girl in different situations like Martine a la fete des fleurs, Martine et la fete des meres, Martine part a la foire. There are also collections of french stories for children in the edition Hachette, Librairie Rose and Librairie Vert which include books like the series of Etalon Noir and Alice(which is the translation of Nancy Drew).





I have heard about and seen read along books which come with the story book and an accompanying cassette or CD but the ones I have seen are in English. I have not yet seen french ones but I suppose they must be on the market. You could contact the bookstores in your locality. They will be in a better position to inform you about its existence or not.





Also there is a series of books that are for those wishing to learn a new language, I do not know which edition exactly but I do know that the title is something like 'Learn French in 30n days'.





If you do not find any read along books, go to www.gutenberg.org. There are many free e-books that you can download or read online. Some of these books also have their audio version which can also be downloaded chapter by chapter. You could find out which books have an audio version, buy the book or download and get going but I think that the books you will find there are of a higher level than what you are looking for but there is no harm in checking it out.





Good luck with your search and your learning. I'm sure you will succeed!
Learn in You Car French is good. It has several lessons on each CD, most of them fairly short, and a booklet comes with each level showing what is in each lesson. There are three Cd's in each level, and three levels.


I uploaded mine to the computer, and then downloaded them to my mp3 player.


By the way, if you are really trying to learn French on your own, try out the free flashcards and email word-of-the-day from this site.
