Say goodbye to scratching your head in confusion. 

Forget about reading boring German textbooks that are so long you'll never reach the end.

In this audiobook, 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 listening 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 the listener might have, if discouraged, of giving up and listening to the whole story in English.  

After each chapter, there is a question section, which aims to test the listener'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.

Good for learning a few basic words

The stories are short and easy to review in a quick session and cover a variety of practical topics. Whether you plan on visiting Germany and need lessons on things like ordering at a restaurant and navigating the train stations, or you moved abroad and need lessons on common phrases used for going to the grocery store, for household chores, or in everyday conversation, this book has you covered.

great help for my German learning

I like that the stories aren't too long but allow for enough German vocabulary and that they end with short overview quizzes so you can test yourself after finishing each story.

Best book to make progress!!!

I can add that I found these stories to be very useful because of the rich vocabulary, practicing sentence formation as well as pronunciation. The MP3's for each story add so much more value as you can practice your listening skills as well.

Learning German? Get this.

Although this method needs a lot of concentration and enthusiasm listening to the stories it provided the best result and it also needs a basic understanding of that language.

Pretty cool

i find this book would be tough one for the beginners as it may seems complicated at first but definitely worth a try. I am lucky to have some German friends where i get the basics of this language.
