How Reading in French Changed My Vocabulary And How to Start

📘Get my French Fluency Guide (A1-C2 Curriculum with 90+ Topics): https://frencharena.com/french-roadmap/ When I picked up my first French book, I had no idea what I was doing. I was in Côte d'Ivoire on holiday. Walked into a bookshop. Saw a Danielle Steel novel—La Maison des Jours Heureux. I thought, why not? It was hard. So hard. I didn't understand half the words. But I finished it. Cover to cover. And that one book changed my vocabulary in ways that apps and lessons never did. In this video, I'm showing you exactly how I read, the books I recommend for every level (beginner to advanced), and I'm even reading live so you can see my actual process. New here? Bienvenue! 👋🏾 I'm Sunmoluwa, Nigerian immigrant who learned French as an adult in Nigeria with zero immersion. Used it to move to Canada.
