Review: enjoyable - Definitely helped me improve my vocabulary. Some stories are more engaging than others, but if you enjoy learning through reading, do go for it. Review: Très bien fait! - La progression est parfaite! Le seul fait de lire des histoires courtes comme celle-ci, nous permet de sortir des méthodes classiques principalement accès sur le dialogue (on peut penser à l'excellente méthode Assimil). Ici, l'approche est bien différente. Il s'agit surtout de nous habituer peu à peu à la formulation littéraire d'une langue. Ce n'est pas une méthode d'apprentissage à part entière (avec ses explications grammaticales traditionnelles), mais bien de courtes histoires, aux tournures de plus en plus complexes, aux vocabulaires de plus en plus fouillés, qui vont nous pousser, sans même nous en rendre compte, à assimiler une écriture livresque, une écriture soutenue. Comme je le disais au début de ce commentaire, la progression est parfaite.
