About this listen

What is the most challenging thing about learning German?

It is finding helpful and engaging material that you can actually understand. That is precisely what motivated us to write this book.

How is a student supposed to learn when language instructors love providing materials that are tough, expert-level literature with tons of grammar and rules? That style of book for new language learners can be overwhelming, and lead you to flip back and forth between a dictionary and your book...constantly!

Not an effective use of your time nor the best way to learn. Is this how children learn their language skills? No.

Enter German Stories for Beginners! You will find 10 easy-to-understand, engaging, and fun stories that will help you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the German language.

Improve your comprehension, grow your vocabulary, and spark your imagination with these ten unconventional German short stories!

All stories are written using vocabulary that you could easily use in your day-to-day conversations.

The stories are written with beginner German learners in mind. With that said, it is highly recommended to have a basic understanding of German to achieve maximum enjoyment and effectiveness of the lessons.

This program is excellent for those who want to get an introduction to the language or brush up on their German language skills.

How to listen to German Short Stories for Beginners:

  • Each story contains an important lesson in the German language (verbs, adjectives, past tense, giving directions, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
  • A summary in German and in English of what you just heard, both to review the lesson and for you to gauge your comprehension of what the tale was about.
  • At the end of those summaries, you’ll be provided with a list of vocabulary found in the lesson, as well as phrases that you may not have understood the first time!
  • Finally, you’ll be given clever questions in German, so you can prove that you learned something in the stories.

Even if you have tried multiple times to learn German, these short stories will give you the jump-start you need to finally grasp the language!

Clear and precise pronunciation

Excellent! I never had a great resource for foreign languages that provided real world situations to learn from. Having the vocabulary of the story broken down into easy manageable parts is a cool idea. The narration in both languages is clear and easy to understand. I think he must have lived in the States and a German speaking country because I can't find a flaw with his narration. Top notch!

Solidified my German understanding

Although I wasn't able to understand every single word, I was stunned at how much I actually did pick up on. I credit the narrator for taking a seemingly boring educational task and making it fun!

Thank you!

Who knew learning German could be fun? A delight to say the least. For years I have tried to find not so boring material and the quest has ended. Looking forward to more in the series.

Top notch framework for improving your conversatio

The companion pdf bridge the gap with the words I didn't understand catch the first time around. Each chapter increases with difficulty at a moderate pace making it manageable. With both English and German translations, the content takes a unique approach with neat stories and a summary (English & German) at the end. I just didn't want the audiobook to end!

Interesting way to learn a language

Ya'll did a damn good job on these stories. Just what I needed. I don't get to practice much German, so this tickled my itch for some good learning material.
