Book 1 / `A l'école des sorciers / Vocabulary / Pages 5-6 (Part I)

Here is some of the key vocabulary from the book to help you with the reading. I recommend getting comfortable with the vocabulary from one chapter before moving on to the next one. Also, ideally you will read each chapter more than once in French for greater comprehension and speed.
