German Short Stories For Beginners: 20 Captivating Short Stories To Learn German & Grow Your Vocabulary The Fun Way!: 1 (Easy German Stories)

I have been learning german now for about a year using various audio books and online learning material. This book is perfect if you are looking for something to supplement your other learning material and get used to reading and listening more than a sentence or phrase at a time. As each story has translated words at the end it is a great reference book too.If you get the book the audio file really helps to get the pronunciation correct. After reading a story or two it is good to go back to after a few hours or a day to keep refreshing and the words come up more frequently in the later stories so it helps solidify the learning. Nice work, hope to see lots more books and stories coming in different levels.A side note - this isn't absolute beginner but if you want a challenge and again to supplement your other learning material is a great resource.

The stories are amusing, engaging & stimulating BUT! In the vocabulary session noun genders are omitted! How could the authors overlook such an important aspect! Especially if they claim that book focuses on grammar too! I guess one can always look the gender up. Maybe it is better to write it down in the book itself, so you will have a mini vocabulary section. Genders are crucial! I would like the authors take this into account. And one more thing - after each story you are supposed to answer the questions pertaining to the story you read. So, instead of a multiple choice, I would want just questions, so students have more opportunity to construct their own sentences, even if they are basic ones. Overall, the material is good.

Excellent aid to learning the language. I find stories more enjoyable and intuitive in structure which helps the information " stick "

Educational.

Easy vocabulary. Good for Kindle reading with dictionary.

I bought this after learning German informally for a year and while the stories are good the editing of this book is pretty disappointing. Each story has words highlighted throughout. You can then find their translations at the end of the story in the order of when you see them. Only you can most of the time. Some words are bolded but in almost every story translations are missing. Or the ordering suddenly changes with words at the start of the story added to the end. It's disappointingly sloppy and frustrating to use. Another proof-read before publication would have made the world of difference and would make it an excellent learning aid.

Really good compliment to my online German course and exactly what I needed to progress

This is a great book of short stories that has helped to expand my German vocabulary and allows me to feel that I am making progress with this language.

Good way to bring back my family’s second language. Easy and fun for this old guy.

Com este, já são 12 livros que comprei da Lingo Mastery (três em alemão). A estrutura do livro é muito boa para estudar a aprender novo vocabulário. Para quem gosta de idiomas, os livros da Lingo Mastery são muito bons!

Le storie hanno una vivacità che sprona ad apprendere.

I'm using this book to improve my German language skills.

Very good. Useful, realistic and funny.
