So I am trying to improve my French (I‘ve moved into an area where it is the primary language) and I am trying to read more in French and understand and enjoy the stories. I am finding that difficult because I don‘t want to only read children‘s books. Haha if any one has any suggestions I‘d love to know 😊

Ruthiella I suggest trying a. Magazines and other short format writing in a subject you are interested in and b. an adult book in French that you‘ve already read in your native language. Try to pick something fairly straightforward. Also, watching TV or films in French is very helpful because you have the added context. 2y
Mirazzles @Ruthiella I‘ll look into some magazines! I am also looking into maybe finding a book I like that I‘ve read already in English and see how it goes! (edited) 2y
