Suspens? Est-ce que le libraire de L'usage du papier à Trouville en Normandie, va nous conseiller un livre?
Et si oui, quel livre?
Il y a un 4 avantages à écouter un ou une libraire :
- il nous parle en français et nous explique avec ses mots précis ce qui fait la saveur d'un livre
- nous découvrons un nouveau livre
- notre oreille doit faire un effort supplémentaire (mais pour un but agréable) de compréhension
- nous faisons la rencontre d'une personne que nous ne connaissions pas avant.
Découvrez la recommandation d'un librairie passionné qui en quelques mots nous propose une lecture originale, tout à fait à la portée d'un apprenant de français.

Merci beaucoup pour ces podcasts. Je suis souvent à Trouville-sur-Mer, comme à ce moment. Il y a 20 ans, je suis tombée amoreuse des petites ruelles, le port, le marché, les crêperies et plus récemment les Franciscaines à Deauville. Je suis rendu visite à la librairie ’Lusage du Papier’ et j’ai acheté ’Renata: n’importe quoi’. J ’espère que je peux lire le roman assez facilement. Jean-Phillipe m’a encouragé à de défi!
