Transcript not always accurate
Spoken at natural speed, and it’s very helpful for beginner learners to have the transcription (and translation) available to read at the same time, as this helps so much to hone one’s listening skills in learning to associate the sounds with the written form. Only small complaint is that the transcript doesn’t always match what the speaker is saying, as in each story he changes an occasional word or even an entire phrase from what is written, which could be a bit confusing particularly for early beginners (I only listened to the German-only portion). Each story is translated paragraph by paragraph, so it’s easy to check your overall understanding and as there are lots of ways to use this title it has earned a place among my learning resources.

The transcript does not always match the audio
The transcript does not always match the audio.
In many parts there are different phrasing, which is kind of frustrating for me.
This is why I give only 4 start.
Apart from that, this is a good material for beginners to improve vocabulary and comprehension.

Good stories!
It was good to read and practice my German again - though I still needed to read most stories with a dictionary on the side for a few words. I was happy with the book for the language I learned, the stories and plots were a secondary feature and were generally straightforward settings for expanding knowledge of the language.

Helpful.
The instructions at the start of the book on how to read the text effectively are helpful and set the tone, at least for me, on what to expect and how to proceed. One important point that stands out and helps to relieve learners frustration is, "You must accept that you won't understand everything you read in the story." I find that I learn more and retain more reading texts like these than grinding away in a grammar book.

Great details.
These short stories, presented as they are, were exactly what I needed. I had tried reading the German language news and even purchased a novel written in German. I found both too difficult to enjoy. I have read these short stories several times and each new reading brings out more interesting detail.

English Translations Ruin This Audio
I was dismayed to hear English translations after every paragraph, but I see now that the Amazon offer mentions this at the end of description. They need to put that right at the top, since this is an unusual way to handle stories for beginners. It certainly ruined the audio for me and I have removed it from my audio library.

I am above the beginner level but wanted to start fresh (not at the beginner level). This book is absolutely perfect for me! I know the bulk of the vocabulary, and it is a good refresher for different tenses of verbs.
