Summary

Thirty German short stories for complete beginners.

One of the smartest ways to improve fluency is to hear stories in your chosen language. Finding appropriate literature can be tough when you’re just starting out, but this collection of 30 short stories is a fun and entertaining way of learning German vocabulary and grammar. Each story is around 300 words, making them very quick listens without overwhelming you. Crafted for beginners, this is ideal for newcomers who are trying to approach fluency in a natural way. 

Rapidly learn new vocabulary.

These stories will help you learn how German is commonly written and conveyed with natural dialogues and expressions.

Grasp the grammar.

Each story has a mixture of simple dialogue, descriptive sentences and everything in-between. This allows you to pick up how sentences are commonly written along with how to describe scenery, items, and people, giving you an overall and detailed way of understanding the written language.

Reading and listening skills.

Each story is only 300 words, giving you an engaging yet simple story that you can quickly read through. We also supply you with a free audio file so that you can follow along and understand how each word is said and how the sentences should be read. This is narrated by a native German speaker, ensuring every inflection is correct.

With this audiobook, you will get a PDF to help you read along and see the written vocabulary. If you want to improve your reading fluency as quickly and naturally as possible, then this audiobook is ideal. Not only that, but each story is interesting, and you can read them in a matter of minutes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great entertaining stories

Fun and interesting stories for upper entry level with regular speed.
Downside is that at the end you get to relisten the english stories with no useful goal.

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.

maybe a bigger gap between translation/ or longer text sections?

The satnav story was a
bit laborious. Most stories interesting. A good way to learn
