SIWIS Fiction - French audio database with English translation

SIWIS Fiction base for improving French vocabulary and grammar skills contains 3,500 sentences from French novels. Five French books were selected from two authors: Zadig and Micromegas from Voltaire, and Voyage au centre de la Terre, L’Île mystérieuse and Vingt mille lieues sous les mers from Jules Verne. A manual checking was done in order to remove the sentence containing names whose pronunciation could be ambiguous. The novels were uttered by a professional French voice talent, who is a native French speaker.
