Review: Good for beginners to learn German from Basic and beyond 🇩🇪 - Thanks. This will help me alot to learn German faster. Reading is a complex skill but The stories are short as It says, yet good enough to read and enjoy. I have read the first chapter/story and overall it's good for A2-B1 level. It interesting to learn about the author as well. Review: Absolutely delightful for new learners of Deutsch! - This book is super cool for beginners. There is a comprehension mini exercise at the end of each chapter. Reminded me of school days when we used to learn English Language. I am at A1 level and even I can read and understand most of it. The best past? The technique is explained - how to reach, how to re-read and how to assimilate. I want to get all the bpoks in this series. But yes, the others are pretty expensive. This was fairly reasonably priced! If you love reading, you will love this as well. It's a collection of stories!

A good adjunct to a language learning program
This has been an excellent adjunct for learning German. I am multilingual and just starting to learn German formally. I'm working from a German grammar book, using Duolingo, and listening to videos. This book has added substantially to my understanding of actual, everyday German vocabulary and word usage. The stories are simple, and the sentence structure starts out very easy, using the present tense. The stories cover a lot of cultural ground, so you get a broad variety of topics that allow you to learn new words in a very easy, natural way, with vocabulary lists at the end of each chapter. I found I needed to look up a lot more words than the vocabulary lists included, but that's easy enough to do on the internet these days. I also had to look up the gender of a lot of the nouns on the lists, since that was not included (dudes...it should be easy enough to add a "m", "f" or "n" at the end of each noun on a list, don't you think? Other language books manage to do that), but again easy enough to do on my own. Overall, I recommend this book for German language learning and German language practice.

Una buona idea per variare nello studio del tedesco
Storie interessanti ed avvincenti, anche se in alcuni punti sembrano mal costruite. Comunque è un ottimo prodotto per chi, conoscendo abbastanza la grammatica, vuole prendere maggiore confidenza con la lingua tedesca e aumentare il proprio vocabulary. Ho trovato anche molto pratica la suddivisione di ogni storia in 3 brevi capitoli così da affrontarle in maniera più leggera (stiamo pur sempre parlando di una lingua ostica come il tedesco, eh!)

Very well constructed book for new learners of German
A really well prepared book for New German learners. Stories are not boring at all. Grammer and vocabulary are extremely well designed. I bought it for my kindle. For the ones who can read on a Kindle, I would highly recommend because it is so practicle to check vocabulary by the integrated underlined word system. Besides, if you follow " the rules for reading" which the Author's advice for reading this book, I am sure that someone can enjoy it more than he expected.

Unrealistic boring stories
I was expecting interesting stories to learn German and the culture - I got childish stories about pirates, future and superhero water.
