Review: 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 Review: 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,688 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Short Story Literary Criticism #367 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,971 Reviews | ## Images ![Short Stories in German for Beginners - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HIU5QN5HL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Learning Tool *by A***R on January 15, 2026* This has been very helpful for me as I learn German.
