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
