Reading Real Life: Signs, Menus, Letters

The documents of daily life, laid out like the real thing.

Learn to read the documents you meet every day in a French-speaking country, shown as they really look: opening hours, signs, a restaurant menu and text messages at A1; a rental ad, a pharmacy label, a grocery receipt and a notice in your building at A2; an email from the school, a letter from your landlord and an email from human resources at B1. For each one you learn to find the request, the deadline and what happens if you do nothing, and you finish by answering the school in writing.
