current frenchy read: La chauve suivi de la leçon by Lonesco Cantatrice

it is originally a play however it was $5 at my local bookstore so i couldn’t resist

It’s so exciting to be studying another language and then realise that you understood a complete sentence. And then another complete sentence. I realise they’re very basic sentences, but it’s just fun.

That’s a screenshot of the Sahlawayhi stories, level 2 on LingQ.

Overall, the Sahlawayhi stories were exactly what I needed in a graded reader and I'll read more in this series: the level is good and there's a lot of repetition. However, I could have done without all the racism and sexism in the last story. The way the male characters talk about Thai women was pretty gross. I'll reread the first three stories for more practice.

Sahlawayhi 2 is much the same as the first. Most of the stories are good for practice though one is about suicide. The repetitive vocabulary is very helpful, though.

La fille qui rêvait d'un bidon d'essence et d'une allumette est excellent. Idéal pour apprendre le français, et donne moi envie de vivre dans un monde dirigé par des femmes.
