A dual language book formatted in French and English is a great studying tool for anyone who is truly interested in learning a second language. As opposed to memorizing phrases or forcing yourself to get through another dry French grammar or verb manual, a Dual Language Reader (“DLR”) keeps you eager and excited to turn each page! Short stories in DLR format serve as an excellent tool to move you towards developing the ability to “think” in the French Language!

Each page of the story in English corresponds to the French translation on the page next to it.  Learning a new language should be fun, that’s why we began creating our dual language series.

Foreign Language Learning Strategy

Our Dual Language Reader Format enables you to interpret the ideas being conveyed in the new language you’re learning, and you never get bored because you’re reading one of the World’s greatest stories! As you’re exposed to dialog in the foreign language, you’ll have the French and English translation in front of you.  This will ensure you’re able to comprehend everything you read in context. By the time you finish “A Christmas Carol”; “Alice In Wonderland”; or “The Double Barrelled Detective” in Dual Language format, we know you’ll agree that this truly is the best way to learn a foreign language.

A great way to start using a dual language book is to find a native French language speaker on sites like Language Exchange.  Schedule times to meet up with your practice buddy and read the text outloud to one another.

Author: Mark Twain

Translator: François De Gail

Publisher: Study Pubs

Release Date: August 19, 2011

ISBN:  9781936939138

Pages: 132

Product Dimensions: 9  x 6 x 0.3 inches

Format: Paperback, 9781936939138

Description: The ‘consulting detective’, Sherlock Holmes, has been called to an American town to solve a strange mystery. Only… this time the pen pulling the strings of the World’s Greatest Detective is held by literary legend Mark Twain. In a style that could only be presented by Mark Twain, this tale begins “with a situation that suggests endless possibilities…” But “Mark Twain intended from the first to have some fun…as well as to surprise his readers. Therefore the second part of this short tale develops unexpectedly into a most ingenious parody upon Sherlock Holmes, capitally done.” – The Book Buyer, Volume XXIV, 1902.

This compilation features the famous parody of Sherlock Holmes, “A Double Barreled Detective Story” by Mark Twain coupled with François De Gail’s masterful French translation. As opposed to memorizing French phrases or forcing yourself to get through another French grammar or verb manual, this Dual Language Reader (“DLR”) keeps you eager and excited to turn each page!

Short stories in DLR format serve as an excellent tool to aid you in developing the ability to “think” in French. Language Formatting (English & French): French: Translation by François De Gail English: The story’s language of origin. Using this Dual Language Reader: The key to mastering any foreign language is developing the ability to “Think” in that language. With the English text on the
left (even pages) and the French translation on the right (odd pages), you’re able to comprehend, precisely, the ideas being conveyed without turning a page!

For those students who wish to test their ability to read the French text, simply fold the left page back to easily hold & read each page (or the entire book) in French; if you have difficulty understanding exactly what the French text is trying to convey, you can quickly look at the English text to help make the concepts clear and get yourself back on track. Another useful technique (for beginners, especially) is to read the English translation first and then, once the concepts are clear, move on to reading and comprehending the
French text. Your goal, other than enjoying the process of learning, is (again): to develop the ability to “think” in the new language.  A Dual Language Reader is an excellent tool for helping you to do exactly that!
