Ella Speaks French in Montreal: A Bilingual Adventure

"Where am I? What is this place? As my mind slowly starts to awaken again, memory comes back to me, peu à peu, little by little... yeah. It's all flooding back to me now: I am in Montreal. Montréal !"Ella's impulsivity got the better of her once again. First, she thought it was a great idea to go to Montreal, sign up for French classes, live with a local family, and become bilingual in a heartbeat. Now she's just cold, scared, and miserable.Follow Ella's adventures through her diary, as she adapts to the cold of winter and the warm Quebec culture, by making friends with Québécois and people from abroad.The story begins in English, and as it progresses, Ella (and you) will discover new French words (written in blue). As new French vocabulary is being introduced, the proportion of French words increases until the last page, which is written entirely in French!Here's what a reader had to say: "An original and well-thought-out concept for a first contact with the language, using everyday words whose meaning is easily understood thanks to the paraphrase or context. A very enjoyable novel with an engaging character; we're eager to read more of Ella's adventures, to follow her progress in French and to discover with her Montreal and elements of Quebec culture. What a clever way to introduce a country's culture!"
