French for beginners audiobook

There are many French learning options – and I wrote an article comparing the pros and cons of French classes, self-learning French methods, immersion in France etc… I suggest you read it if you wonder how to tackle your French studies.

However, unless you are a total beginner in which case this is a no-brainer and you should start with a total beginner method (I suggest my French audiobook À Moi Paris Method – Beginner), figuring out the right level of book to study with or class to join may prove difficult.

And this is the problem of most students who contact me.

The other day, I received an email saying: “I don’t know which level to use… When I go for a lower French level, it’s too easy and I am bored. When I go for a higher French level, it’s just too difficult and I give up”.

I meet a lot of students who have had some French before, maybe in school or in college, and can read and write OK, but have the hardest time understanding French people when they speak and freeze when they try speaking French themselves.
