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.

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!

Excellent Learning Tool
This has been very helpful for me as I learn German. It feels natural to work through, like the books you’d read for class growing up. I was surprised following the instruction on the use of this book lead to me catching on even quicker. A great learning tool, plus the stories are neat! So it’s entertaining and keeps your attention

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.
