Coucou les French learners,
Are you familiar with Aesop’s fables?
I find it truly remarkable that Aesop, a slave in ancient Greece, managed to create a collection of fables that have endured for centuries and remain valuable today. 
Aesop’s stories have transcended generations, offering timeless wisdom that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
And as I was telling you last week, fables are perfect for language learners because they have simple plots and limited characters, making them easy to understand.
Introducing Our New Free Video
This week, My dear Man & I are delighted to announce our latest free video featuring the classic fable “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.”
In this story, a cunning wolf disguises himself as a sheep to infiltrate a flock and satisfy his hunger. However, his deception ultimately leads to his downfall, teaching us that appearances can be deceiving and that dishonesty often backfires.
Watch the video of me telling the fable using the Story Listening approach.
Story Listening involves hearing comprehensible stories in French, allowing you to absorb language naturally, much like children acquiring their first language.
Alongside the video, you’ll find its transcript and audio available on our website, perfect for learners at every level. Click here, it’s FREE!
How to make the most of our video
To maximize your French experience with our “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” video, follow these steps:
First, watch the video with the intent to understand the story. Don’t worry about catching every word; focus on grasping the overall meaning. The initial viewing helps you develop your listening abilities and intuitive understanding of language patterns.
Next, visit our website to read and listen to the text for free. This step reinforces your comprehension and exposes you to the written form of the language. You can read and listen at the same time so you get used with pronunciation and intonation.
Finally, try to narrate the story yourself, either out loud or in writing. Narrating the story yourself activates your productive language abilities. Narration helps you internalize the new language elements.
Each step in this process contributes to your French acquisition efficiently.

“I can recommend her content without hesitation. I had a rough journey with learning French, but that changed in this year since I found comprehensible input and the Alice Ayel Platform that provides exactly that. Since then I found real motivation and joy in learning French and I believe this is how we learn best. My journey is still ongoing, yet being subscribed here helped immensely. If you are looking for good immersion material as a very beginner or even if you are already further along, I would give it a go
