I began to polish my geography and French knowledge by reading two volumes from "Voyages Extraordinaires" by Jules Verne. I was lucky to read them in the original Hetzel edition. These two volumes are "Cesar Cascabel" and "Bourses de voyage". Here are the included maps: CC1 CC2 BV The first book describes a walking journey from North America to France over the frozen Behring Sea. The second one describes a sea journey from London to Antilles. I read them in French so I could use a second reading, but I understood enough to keep me interested. When I really started to learn English, I used songs lyrics and fashion magazines. Now learning French by reading book by Jules Verne is the best way for me. That's why I'll keep an eye on this web collection .
