NEW APPROACH TO FRENCH LITTERATURE ON YOUR TIME AND IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME OR OFFICE

www.frenchalamaison.com



I have used L'Etranger with my French "A La Maison" students for years and thought that it could very well be adapted and taught as one on one READING / COMPREHENSION METHOD for people who are interested to further their knowledge in French more through French literature than standard conversation.



Your vocabulary and comprehension skill will drastically improve since I will be asking carefully chosen questions in French throughout the reading of the book, paragraph after paragraph and at the end of each chapter you will have a more general list of questions to answer.

TAKE THIS TEST JUST FOR FUN !

FIRST PARAGRAPH READS AS FOLLOWS

Aujourd'hui, maman est morte. Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas. J'ai reçu un télégramme de l'asile: ''mère décédée. Enterrement demain. Sentiments distingués.'' Cela ne veut rien dire. C'était peut-être hier.
- mort/morte : dead
- reçu : received - verbe recevoir
- une asile : old folks home or nursing home or hospice
- décédé/décédée : deceased
- un enterrement : burial, funeral
1) Qui est mort ?
2) Est-il possible au lecteur de savoir exactement quand sa mère est morte? (veuillez expliquer votre réponse)
3) Qu'est-ce qu'il a reçu de l'asile " ?
4) Qu'est-ce que le télégramme disait ?

I will correct mistakes or suggest other ways to answer with a brief explanation.
