What's up guys today
I'm going to talk about a certain type of book that you can read that I think is really gonna
Help you with your language learning, and it's gonna be kind of a short video today, because I'm on vacation in
Montreal, Canada
where I came to practice my French and
As you can see I was really dedicated to practicing my French because there's a ton of snow
It's really cold and only a crazy person comes to Canada while they're on winter vacation
But I wanted to come here because I'm really dedicated to learning French and
one of the things that I did while on vacation here in Montreal is I went to a small book shop and
It's kind of an old book shop. There's a very old lady
behind the front desk and
You know they have all these books that look like they were probably
published in
1936 or something so a lot of them were very old
But it was nice
It was a it was a cool little bookshop, and I asked the lady behind the scan this was all in French
You know obviously I asked her. What kind of book would you recommend for someone?
Who's just learning French and?
Her answer actually kind of surprised me, and it was something that I had never actually thought of before
But it's a great idea
And she said you need to be reading plays if you want to read if you want to learn French read plays
written in the French language
and if you recall reading
Romeo and Juliet, or I don't know any of the inning Shakespeare especially Shakespeare from high school um
there
While Shakespeare is a little more difficult because of the ancient language?
But um the nice thing about plays that I hadn't really thought about before
That this lady was telling me was that you know what they they're very short phrases
You don't have this huge page. Just full of words, and it's not that intimidating
It's just it's mostly dialogue plays are almost entirely dialogue. You know and you just have you have the name of someone
So you know exactly who's speaking at all times?
And then you know they just give them very short phrase and then moves the next person and it's easy to follow
And I thought this was a great idea
North thought about this before
So I bought two I bought kid bear Express, and I'm a man
and so I'm gonna be reading these and
Actually, I've been reading a little bit here on vacation, and I like it. I are very easy for me to follow
And the other nice thing is a lot Platinum's
They have like they have little pictures that are actually from the play, so it gives you a little bit of context to understand
What's going on?
It's not difficult reading
very short phrases
Which is important? If you're beginner um and it's interesting. This is not like
You're not reading children's books. Just because the comprehension level is easier
And in this plays that adults actually go to for entertainment, so it's interesting and it's able to hold my interest
so the
using plays or any kind of book from the theatre I
Had no, thought about this before but I think that's gonna be a great way of getting some comprehensible input
That's still interesting and it's not gonna overwhelm you so that's my short advice for this week well
I'm still on vacation enjoying my time here in Canada practicing my French
