This book is adorable!! This should be required reading for anyone learning French. Ella is an exchange student studying French in Montreal. She takes you through her adventures while she teaches the reader how to speak French. I have never learned French and was able to read and understand the French as the book progressed.

Loved this book! It starts out in English with a couple of words in french and by the end of the book you will be reading fully in French. Such a great idea for a language learning book and a super fun way to learn to read in French!

Amazing language learning tool. I wish there were more books that followed this progressive method.

Without knowing it, I've been waiting for something like this ever since I started learning French years ago.

The story is fine. The method is ingenious.

Thank you to the author!
