Inside French A1
Leo, an illustrator from Edinburgh, comes to live above a bookshop in Montmartre. The hall clock has said 7:12 since 1944, the key to his flat is warm in his hand, and a black cat seems to know everything first.

All the books
Each language is one story told across six books, with the same people from the first page to the last. Chapter 1 of A1 is free now; the books go on sale soon.
An illustrator from Edinburgh moves in above a bookshop where the hall clock has said 7:12 since 1944, and a black cat seems to know everything first.
A gardener from Dublin moves into an old house in Santa Cruz, where one tile has been missing from the patio wall since 1930 and the orange tree flowers when it shouldn't.
A piano tuner from Cardiff comes to work in a Berlin courtyard, where an old upright plays one note by itself every night at thirteen past one, as it has since August 1961.
An English teacher arrives in Kadıköy on a rainy night and knocks on the wrong door. Across six books, a neighbour becomes family and a building becomes home.
With Zynlo
Every book comes with a Zynlo deck: the stories' words and sentences as cards. Zynlo is free on iPhone and Android.
Read it
The story, with every new word explained where you meet it.
Remember it
Zynlo brings each card back just before you'd forget it, and asks you to say the French, not just recognise it.
Speak it
Talk it through with Zynlo's AI tutor, using the words you just learned.
Made with care
Written for adults
Real places, real situations and a little mystery. A stopped clock, a warm key and a cat who knows the way, not a cat called Tom.
Checked by rule
French, Spanish and German verbs follow their tenses, German adjectives their cases; Turkish endings follow its vowels. Every answer in the key is checked against the language's rules before the book is made.
Yours to keep
No account and no copy protection. Read it on any device, print it, keep it.
