Well-Designed French Language Short Stories
I was totally happy with this audiobook of French language short stories. It was at a level that I could understand and learn from. The speakers spoke slowly and enunciated clearly. This audiobook was a big help for me in my journey to learning to communicate in the French language.

Not for levels A1 and A2.
These stories are not for levels A1 and A2. You have to have at least knowledge of B1 levels. There is no PDF of actual story and you cannot listen to the story and follow the text. The PDF actually offers short summary of the story, vocabulary and a quiz. The stories have no title and are not separated, so it is difficult to go back to the beginning of the story, or find where you left off last time.
