"I love Olly's work - and you will too!" - Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times bestseller A Mind for Numbers
Most French students try to learn French grammar through rules and rote memorisation, especially while learning verb tenses! This doesn't work, and is extremely stressful for you as a learner. Why? Because there are lots of so-called "rules" to learn and it's impossible to hold them all in your head at the same time while you're speaking. It's also not a natural approach ... native speakers don't learn the language with rules and memory tricks, after all!
With 30-Day Mastery: Perfect Past Tenses you'll learn through example and context, just like native speakers do! The magic of learning through story is that your main focus is actually not on memorising anything... you concentrate on understanding and enjoying the story! As you're reading, you will find that the different uses of the passé composé and imparfait will begin to lodge themselves subconsciously in your brain. It doesn't happen right away - in fact it may take a couple of weeks for you to feel the real effects. But by the end of this book, you'll have a native-like command of Italian past tenses that will amaze you and your friends!
In this story, you will read about Pauline and her sister Lucie. They are two young women, living on an island cut off from the world. They work as housekeepers in the mansion of Monsieur Dubois. On a stormy night, a valuable necklace belonging to Madame Dubois disappears. All evidence points to Pauline being the culprit and Monsieur Dubois threatens to kick her and her sister out, or worse!
