Story
I'm sure your first question is: Can you actually learn a foreign language while you’re asleep? According to a Swiss research study in 2014, the answer is unassailably yes! In this study, a group of German speakers was given a list of unfamiliar Dutch words to study. Half were instructed to get some sleep while they listened to long lists of Dutch words and translations. The other half was instructed to stay awake. Four hours later, they were tested and the group that listened while they slept had significantly higher recall.

The most important learning strategy, according to great linguists such as Stephen Krashen, is providing a lot of so-called comprehensible input. This means listening to a lot of texts that are challenging but are still more or less understandable. When you get a lot of such input, your mind figures out the grammar intuitively, just like it figured out the grammar of your first language. This book offers a collection of 16 short stories for beginners written in German.

Definitely worthwhile
When I started listening to this audio-book I was slightly put out, since I haven't studied German in over ten years now. After a short while however, things really started to come together. After about half an hour I actually started to begin building up a decent picture of the stories, first by picking out the key words and then by inferring some that I hadn't heard before. I was actually very impressed, I thought I'd all but lost my initially limited knowledge of the language, but the stories are structured in such away to make them very accessible. I'm not sure how somebody with zero initial understanding of the language would cope, but i'm by no means conversational and this was definitely beneficial to me.

Great audiobook or beginners
Interesting and clear audio which is very easy for the beginners like me to understand German. Since I am new starter I have taken print out of all the chapters which helped me to understand well. Speaker was very slow and I felt comfortable and easy to learn. Chapters are well organized with proper pronunciation. Repeating the words and recap helped a lot in memorizing. When compared with websites and books I felt audio version as the best one.

German isn't an easy language to learn as enunciation and pronunciation go a long way yet this book is indeed a great start for beginners like me! I appreciated the fact that the narrator had a slow and a steady pace, making it easy to catch up. I also appreciated how he asked the listeners to download the PDF for an improved performance.

Makes German language and culture more accessible
These German short stories were both easy to understand and entertaining. They helped me both improve my understanding of the German language and German culture, as they provide a level of contextualization for the language. German is a very difficult language, especially regarding pronunciation, but once I got into listening to these stories, I began to master the pronunciation much better. I would highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who is trying to learn or master the German language.

Any additional comments?
Having briefly learnt German during school, I found this as a great refresher to get me back into the mind set of learning a language. The stories were fun to listen to and the glossaries at the end of each chapter were especially useful when it comes to learning new words as well as improving my pronunciation. It was surprising how quickly things came back to me! I also found the supplementary PDF useful because, as a visual learner, I do like to have something to look at and this PDF provided the perfect aid for the learning experience.

The narrator's voice is clear and slow enough to make the stories easy to follow; I also found that following along with the PDF version was very helpful. My German is fairly basic but I found myself able to understand more and more as the stories went on. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to expand their vocabulary and their understanding of the language.

I have been looking to improve my German skills in an easy and enjoyable way since moving here a few months ago.

There's a real limit to how complex charachters and plot can be in a book for language learners. Working within that limit this manages to entertain. There is also a lot of material here for the price. Suited to A and B level in my unprofessional opinion.

Back to German
It's been a long time since I learned German and I haven't used it at all in the past 10 years. I find this audiobook great to get me back and refresh my previous knowledge and also helps me learn new vocabulary. I had trouble understanding the audio on its own at first but it was explained at the beginning how to get the script in PDF that was hugely helpful. I think it's great that all the stories are read by a native German. After I listened to the first story for a few times it was getting easier and easier to understand him as I went through the stories. I was pleasantly surprised that the PDFs also contained some new vocabulary in English, a summery of the story in English and even a test to see how much you understood. The topics are all different but relevant in real life. If you are someone who wants to refresh their German that seemed long forgotten this is a great tool for it.

Do it in a German way!
I tried books, school, and any other medium to learn at least “basic” German language and none of them caught my attention.
Tried this app, listened for a minute “thinking oh well I can give this a chance or something”, then another minute, and another, till I almost finished an hour!
I am a dynamic person and love to feel what I learn. The thing about this audio book makes it real, the narrators are good that as if they are beside you, although you cant see them but was able to visually describe things for you.
Will keep this on my phone!

Amazing Language Learning Tool
First audio book in my collection It's always been a bit hard to learn a language. This is a great way to learn German on the go. Speaker is easy to understand. He speaks the words at a regular conversation pace, and then slow enough so the listener hears which syllables to enunciate.

Great for learning and practicing German
Would you listen to German Short Stories for Beginners again? Why?
Yes, I've been listening to it regularly to help with my German.
What was one of the most memorable moments of German Short Stories for Beginners?
The parts where vocabulary is explained is really useful.
What about David Greiwe and Markus Kasanmascheff ’s performance did you like?
The stories were read in a very natural way, not too fast, and not too slow.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
I just started studying German and I was having a lot of trouble with learning proper pronunciation. I saw the reviews on this audiobook and thought I would give it a try.
I love that the stories aren't too complicated but they're not boring either. This audiobook comes with a PDF file that you can use to read along as you listen. I found that very useful because sometimes I'll see a word and not be sure exactly how to pronounce it, but with the PDF and audiobook together, that isn't a problem.
I also love the fact that the stories are read in a very natural sounding way. A lot of audiobooks for language either go way too fast or way too slow. I think the narrator reads at a normal, natural pace. If you're looking for a fun way to practice or start learning German, I highly recommend this book.

Very helpful book and I highly recommend it!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
After listening to 33 chapters of the book, I can really say that it's worth having it. I learned a lot of German words. My pronunciation is better now. This book helped me so much. One of the great things about it is they have chapters of translation from English common phrases and sentences to German which are very useful especially for a beginner in learning German language. I highly recommend this audio book.

Good pace, easy to listen to
This is a good introduction to the German language in a literary setting. Narration is clear and at a pace that is easy for a beginner. But the pace, and voice inflection is such that it would hold the interest of a more experienced student of the German language or even one for whom German is their native tongue.

Great way to understand and learn German!
I always thought German was among the most difficult languages I had heard spoken. I found this audio book quite helpful as it speaks the German word, then gives the English word, and uses the word cluster in sentences. This made it easier to understand the language itself. There are many of the words I recognized just from my native English language that are spoken pretty much the same. I even picked up on a few words I have head but didn't know the meaning of. If you are beginner of the German language I recommend starting here.

Any additional comments?
This book was really helpful for me. I listened to this book while I was driving and I also listened to it while reading the book. By having an audio companion, this book really helped me to learn how to read and pronounce German. I like how there were multiple readers, it allowed for a variety of speakers just like how it is in the real world. Aside from the short stories, this book also included German vocabularies that had English definitions, which definitely helped me learn the words. I also liked how at the end of each short story there was a short quiz about it, the quizzes helped me see if I understood or comprehended the story. Overall, I recommend listening to this book while reading along to allow for maximum comprehension.

Perfect listening practice
I am currently studying German, and it goes really hard. A lot of rules, and to understand somebody speaking German seemed impossible.
Then, I found this audiobook. Didn't know if it will help. Turned it on, and Oh God! I could understand some words. After like 5 minutes I could even understand the story line.
Some of the words I heard I didn't know, but this audiobook gives all of the words with translation and right pronunciation: slow and clear, so I could repeat it.
I'm totally in love with the book. It helped a lot.

Nice audiobook
It’s my first audiobook in German and I actually like it a lot. Very good vocabulary. However, it would be great if your would say article before every noun. Thanks !
