Reading Harry Potter in French

How reading Harry Potter can help you with your language learning

When you’re learning a language, a big step is when you read your first book in your new language.

I remember the very first foreign language book I read was Harry Potter in French. It was called “Harry Potter à l’école des sorciers”, and, when I first saw the front cover, I was very pleased to know what all the words in the title meant. I had learnt “l’école” which means “the school” and I guessed that “sorciers” meant “sorcerers” or “wizards”. So, the title meant, “Harry Potter at the school of wizards”.

“Of to a good start,” I thought as I opened the book, but that’s where my optimism ended. The rest of my first experience reading a book in a foreign language was a disaster.
