French Language, Literature & Culture

Easy readers and other bilingual books can help you learn a language by pairing short readings in the language you're learning with English side by side. Try reading the text and if you get stuck, look at the translation.

All of these titles are in French with parallel English translation. Click a title to check its availability.
