A Fun and Excellent Way to Learn German

Do you want to boost your comprehension and grow your vocabulary while enjoying yourself? These captivating stories will ignite your imagination so you can learn German quickly and easily.

Say goodbye to scratching your head in confusion
Forget about reading boring German textbooks that are so long you'll never reach the end. With German Short Stories: 9 Simple and Captivating Stories for Effective German Learning for Beginners, you will experience a relief from the frustrations you might have experienced when trying to learn German through a more rigid approach.

In this book, you will encounter rich and new but not too complex vocabulary, which is translated at the end of the chapter, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the reading rhythm to look up every word in the dictionary. Every paragraph is translated, as well as the summary of the story, thus providing a clearer comprehension of each sentence, while trying to prevent the temptation that the reader might have, if discouraged, of giving up and reading the whole story in English.

After each chapter, there is a question section, which aims to test the reader’s overall understanding of the story, containing both open-ended and multiple-choice questions. The solved questions are provided at the end, enabling you to check your own answers and, consequently, develop your skills.

Die Idee des Buches ist nicht schlecht...

Reviewed in Germany on 30 January 2020

Verified Purchase

...aber zwischen gut gewollt und gut gemacht ist eben ein Unterschied. Positiv: abschnittsweise deutsche Texte und englische Übersetzung, Kontrollfragen für das Textverständnis und Vokabeln, deutsch, ins englische übersetzt.
Negativ: Die Geschichten. Ein wenig aus der Zeit gefallen, mit wenig Bezug zur Realität, teilweise ein wenig belehrend. Nicht sicher, ob man Sprachschüler mit diesen Geschichten begeistern kann.

These stories would not be interesting to most adults

Reviewed in Germany on 4 November 2020

Good: They are short, easy to follow, and translated

Bad: They are boring and didactic.

I wish these were stories that I would ever WANT to read, but I felt like I was getting a lecture from a fourth grade teacher who did not trust students to behave.

They might be good for younger students needing to up their moral compass, but they are definitely not riveting. I had to force myself to stay focused in order to finish.

Good translation.

Not well done

Reviewed in the United States on 3 January 2020

There are faults at several levels. First: the stories should be called fables, since each one seems to have a moral lesson, like a Sunday-school reader. They are short, but not what you'd think of as "short stories." They're tedious too. Other offerings of this type manage a much higher level of interest. Second, I found the paragraph by paragraph translations to be a distraction, but that's a matter of taste. Third, the text was poorly prepared. There are several strikethroughs that seem to be left over from an edit. Fourth, the author violates some rules, announced in the "learning" section, by capitalizing some adjectives and verbs in the glosses with each of the stories.
Why go on? The presentation is not well thought out and appears to be thrown together in a rush.

Not really for beginners: More appropriate for early intermediate learners

Vocabulary and grammar require a basic foundation in German. Paragraph translations -- below each German paragraph-- are nice and easier to use than books that have the translation on the opposite page.
