Summary

In this audiobook, I first read the poem in slow enunciated French then use simple, everyday French language to explain each individual verse. I then talk about the life of the author, give a full analysis of the poem and finally re-read the poem at a faster speed with a more personal interpretation.

Not only is it a great cultural subject but it's a fantastic way to learn new vocabulary, verb tenses and improve your understanding of deeper conversations. French culture is deeply engrained with poetry and this audiobook will teach you both formal and modern pronunciation.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A great learning tool

A really clear, accessible and simple reading and discussion of one of Fontaine's greatest fables,, including a little biography of the author and an interesting discussion of the text which is also taken apart line by line with some great verb info on written French.
