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

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

These stories are enjoyable to read and help with expanding vocabulary and sentence structure. If I were to find one fault it is that it's impossible to start a project such as this in mid-stream and have a vocabulary that everyone knows and present definitions for new words that are not known to anyone reading the story. I find a dictionary, "Wörterbuch", to be useful in reading the stories.

I am using Duolingo, and have learned a lot, but these stories add a fuller dimension to the German language. It helps that there is vocabulary after each story. Certainly gives a student something to work on.

This book is PERFECT for my current level of German knowledge. For years I’ve been using apps on my phone, but still felt I was missing something. I’ve purchased other German books before, but they were too difficult and made me feel like I didn’t know anything. This book is, for me, the perfect level of difficulty.

This book is a great supplement to any German language course and/or anyone learning on their own. Its layout is great: story, summary, translation, vocab. Super helpful material to let you see the language in a contextual way rather than a boring textbook with no context or explanation. Really helped me learn how to read the language and understand the sentence structure in a natural way that rivals what you learn in school

Great book for those trying to keep up their German language skills and to learn more. However, I would not agree with the title of "beginners." You would need a healthy level of German knowledge to be able to read this book but it still is an easy read.

This is a nice idea. The stories do get a bit harder s you go through them. Some are cute some bit weird, like the one about the young woman who can't afford to fix up the house she inherited, so she squirts gasoline around, burns the place down, and walks away.What I find bothersome is that a good idea is handled sloppily. In each chapter the supposed new words are boldfaced, and the translations are at the end of the chapter, in the order theywere encountered in the story. The problem is, in many if not most chapters, some of the boldfaced words don't appear in the chapter glossary, or appear out of order. This is not fatal (you'll need a dictionary anyway) but can sometimes be frustrating and, to me, suggests that the book ws not well proofread -- which might mean that there are errors in the text that will confuse a learner. It would also have been a friendly idea to bring all of the glossaries together at the endm in alphabetical order. Where each chapter may have 50 or more new words, it can be difficult, when reading a story and encountering a word that maybe you saw before in an earlier chapter, to find the definition. These are little things, but the frustration makes using the book harder and less pleasant than it should be.

Short, interesting stories using simple sentences. Mostly an easy read with enough new words and phrases to make it enjoyable

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.

Tiene vocabulario nuevo en negritas y el significado está al final del capítulo pero no siempre está en orden e incluso unas palabras no están donde deberían
