About French Uncovered (StoryLearning)
French Uncovered is Olly Richards's story-based course from StoryLearning: you read and listen to a story written for learners, chapter by chapter, while video lessons uncover the grammar and vocabulary in each chapter. StoryLearning lists it for beginner (A1) to upper-intermediate (B2) learners, alongside its other French courses and bundles. There is a 7-day free trial; each level costs $297. It suits a self-learner who wants grammar to come out of a story rather than a textbook. It does not give you live speaking practice, and the story audio is made for learners, not overheard real conversation.
