Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One story, two languages, and a child who naturally begins to understand both.Sharing a story at bedtime is a beloved family ritual. Introducing a second language doesn't have to change that. Originally written by the Countess of Segur (Comtesse de Segur), a classic 19th-century children's author, to guide her own grandchildren, these gentle retellings make language learning a warm, natural part of your evening routine.Open this book anywhere and you will find the same moment of a classic Bible story twice: the Comtesse's warm French on the left page, and a clear, natural English translation on the right. Moving paragraph by paragraph with matching numbers, you can read a line in French, hop across the spread, and hear exactly the same sentence in English. Children love hearing stories repeated, and that gentle repetition is precisely how a new language settles in.The Magic of "Shared Vocabulary" GlossesWhat makes this book truly unique is the innovative word-by-word helper text printed beneath every line.On the French page, each word carries a small English gloss.On the English page, each English word carries a small French gloss.The bilingual trick: Wherever the two pages share a word, the glosses reuse the same vocabulary on both sides. The French words a child learns on the left page are the exact same words printed under the English on the right. One story, one shared vocabulary, two languages.Eighteen Stories Your Family Already KnowsBy using familiar classic narratives, children can focus on the words without getting lost in the plot. Inside, you'll find: From the Old Testament: The Creation, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, Joseph and His Brothers, the Story of Moses, David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lions' Den, and Jonah and the Great Fish.From the New Testament: The First Christmas, the Boy Jesus in the Temple, the Miraculous Catch of Fish, Jesus Calms the Storm, the Loaves and the Fishes, Jesus Walks on the Water, the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, and Easter Morning.These stories are presented just as she told them: warm, direct, and completely free of doctrinal argument. The classic French has been lightly modernized for clarity, and the longest stories have been gently shortened to fit comfortably into a single bedtime slot.Inside This Deluxe Edition: Authentic French: 18 complete stories in beautiful, lightly modernized French.Faithful English Mirror: A natural translation written specifically to be read aloud.Interlinear Shared Glosses: Word-by-word guides that make vocabulary recognition effortless.Original Artwork: 18 gorgeous, original watercolor paintings opening every story.Designed for Reading Together: A large 8x10-inch "lap book" format, with the French set in a distinct typeface so readers can see at a glance which language world they are in.Parent Guide: A friendly introduction on how to read a mirror book together.Written to be Shared and CherishedThese stories are held in common across Christian traditions and told without theological debate, making the book a comfortable fit for any family.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Learn Real Russian with Leo Tolstoy's Classic Stories for Beginners When Leo Tolstoy founded a school for the village children on his estate, he couldn't find a single reading primer simple enough for them. So, he wrote his own. These twenty stories come directly from Tolstoy's original primer, including The Three Bears, Filipok, Little Boy Thumb, and classic Aesop fables retold in his clean, spare Russian. These are not artificial, invented textbook sentences. This is authentic Russian by one of world literature's greatest writers, written deliberately simple because his own pupils were beginners, too. A Dual-Language Format Designed for Natural Learning- Paragraph-by-Paragraph Alignment: Every spread features Russian on the left page and English on the right, mapped paragraph to numbered paragraph.- Word-for-Word Glosses: Beneath every word sits a small gloss in the opposite language. The two pages share one vocabulary: the Russian you meet on the left is identical to the Russian printed under the English on the right.- Full Stress Marking: Every Russian word of two or more syllables is marked for stress-in the main text, in every gloss, and in the back glossary. Never guess how a word is pronounced again.With a total vocabulary of just 870 unique words, this collection is designed to build confidence without overwhelming you. Over 65% of the words you read are among the top 1,000 most common words in the Russian language. Inside You'll Find: - 20 Complete Stories: Ranging from one-paragraph fables to longer, engaging tales.- 40 Original Illustrations: Beautiful artwork marking the beginning and end of every story.- A Guided Reading Path: A 'where-to-start' index designed to guide readers to the easiest stories first.- Complete Back Glossary: Every single one of the 870 words listed with its stress mark and meaning.Whether you are an adult learning Russian, a parent raising bilingual children, or a teacher looking for authentic reading material, this book makes reading real Russian accessible, achievable, and enjoyable.…
