FlagOnce Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 One problem with literature (and so, often, books, doesn't matter if it's on your computer or on paper), is that it follows often the strictest and the most complex parts of a language. Sure, it depends of the book you read, but it would feature often a lot of grammar you wouldn't meet in everyday discussions and you will probably never hear, in fact, outside of that context.So that makes a lesser priority to learn. But if you like to read, you would better spend some time to read on another language to associate how you like to read with the learning you should do. So, what is the best genre of book to read?

Wanda Kaishin Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 The genre that you like the most. One book that's often recommended as a first French novel is L'étranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potoloklol Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I would recommend Le Petit Prince. It was the first French book I read all by myself without a teacher to guide me or classmates for support. It is my favorite book and it was simple enough to understand with my rudimentary French skills. I learned so many words and I genuinely enjoyed the story so it didn't feel like learning, it felt natural. The Little Prince asks questions like "what does this word mean?" and so I felt like I was learning about the world along with him. Perhaps it is best for someone with an intermediate level of French than for a beginner, but I really think it is a good one to start off with.

Grainger Town Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Je lis de la poésie parce qu'elle m'intéresse même en anglais. J'étudie le francais depuis cinq ans déjà, et j'utilise des versions de texte qui contiennent une traduction, donc c'est peut-être pas le moyen le plus facile de se familiariser avec la literature, mais l'avantage, c'est qu'il ne faut pas ingurgiter tout un long livre si on n'a pas de patience suffisante!

LeesaJohnson Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 It totally depends on you that which genre you like the most according to you interest. If you are facing some problem with literature than I would suggest you take the help of a personal tutor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
