Also, going back a bit upthread... Do you know/ remember which version of the Bible you're /were using? I started a similar project (except for the "background" part), with a copy of the King James version as my English parallel text / "dictionary". The French one I used (including that for the audio recordings, as I recall) was one of the Louis Segond versions. I'm not religious (but was a Lit major) and must say the language of those two versions is magnificent. (Well, perhaps I should amend that and say, as an Anglophone, I know the KJV is magnificent; am guessing the Fr is splendid too, from what I could glean.) Unfortunately, it was an an extremely slooow process (I embarked on this when my French was even more rudimentary than it is now), and bailed out not long after. As as I said then, "I made an exodus at Exodus" . But it's still on my back burner, and I wish you better luck (and speed!) with your attempt.

I think it is Louis Segond, but I'm not certain. It has a variety of speakers. The recording seems fairly professional. I had done a google search some time back and went with the one I found most pleasant to the ears. I believe one can buy a parallel KJV/Louis Segond. I'm not religious either. The current background listening is more taking the work as stories. Someone who was religious would have a real multilingual treasure trove. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I am also interested in finding a Bible to read in French. After searching a bit, I found a version called "Segond 21", which is an updated version of Louis Segond. Their strapline is, "L'original, avec les mots d'aujourd'hui". I have also found some free audio (I can't remember who pointed me to it), which is the Louis Second version:
Bible audio I think I would rather read and listen to the "Second 21" version because it would be more useful for learning current French, and probably a lot easier to read. Any idea if there's audio available for this version? As far as reading or listening to the Bible, beginning to end is a difficult way to go. Genesis and the first half of Exodus are full of stories, so they're quite interesing, but then you get bogged down in all the laws. I would suggest sticking to narrative (or poetry) for starters. For example going as far as Exodus 14 or 15 (the crossing of the Red Sea), and then skip to one of the Gospels and Acts. If you want to stay with the Old Testament at first, Joshua is the next major narrative book after the law books, and it's followed by Judges (remember Sampson?). Ruth is another interesting narrative. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Merci bien monsieur. I'm on vacation right now so I'm out of my daily routine. We'll see if a few days mostly off does anything for my French. If it does, we cannot discount the impact of simple rest and relaxation. I am considering switching things up when I get back and doing primarily extensive reading for a bit through some of those books that ladictee.fr shows as being appropriate for younger readers. I've thought an extensive run through the Assimil courses and the Hugo dialogues might be a decent way to prime the pump. Then again, an alternate bow-wave theory might be to leave the courses on the back burner to let a motivation wave build up.

Eh bien, bonnes vacances, alors ! Profite-toi de ce temps-ci de te relaxer et si tu veux aussi, en pensant de ce que tu va faire avec ton français quand tu rentres à la maison :) Mais oublie de ta maison et de ton travail maintenant! Ahhh, des vacances... ;) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for the tips Jeffers! I only listened to a little bit of the Jacques audio you linked to. Is it a human voice? The audio I have been listening is different and pretty good. I got it a long time ago. It may be the original Louis Segond. Edited by luke on 10 July 2014 at 2:48am 1 person has voted this message useful |
