Merde, French is Hard.....But Fun!
I cannot believe that I read a story totally in French! Often I forgot I was reading in French because I got so caught up with Helen and the other French Students relatable tales of their journeys of learning French. I found myself laughing out loud and other times intently reading to find out what was going to happen next. I could not put the book down. I love the characters so much! Such a great way to learn French!

More of the same diary-format reading with mild suspense, French revision, and occasional laugh-out-loud moments in fairly easy to read French.
I estimate there are about 16000 words of text to read in this one, so a fair amount of practice. Recommended for English-speaking adults learning French.

A great beginning French book.
It's geared towards adults and includes some adult language. The story is interesting enough. And funny at times.
