Reading Selections to Improve your French on Culturethèque

Reading is an excellent and stress-free method of improving your French language skills. As this FluentU blog points out, it’s important to start with books at the appropriate level in topics that are interesting to you. Though you may not understand every word initially, you will build your vocabulary as new words become familiar to you through the context of the story structure as you become more and more involved in the plot.

Your AFSF Culturethèque e-library is here to help you select the best titles for your reading level.  Explore the APPRENDRE LE FRANÇAIS EN LISANT  (Learn French by Reading) to find titles curated by reading level for readers of all ages and interests. Mysteries, history, children’s books, and even the grand classiques in abridged versions. Curated by reading level, these adapted versions of the classics bring great French literature to French learners while affording an entertaining experience to expand your French vocabulary.
