How to learn the German language with stories?
Our method is quite easy. You start by reading and listening to each story many times. Try to understand it completely. If something is not clear, check the English translation. Yes, our German short stories have English translation, all you have to do is to click on a toggle switch 'Translation on'.
Once you understand the story very well, move to the next section. You will find there a list of important German words and phrases that were used in the story. Again, listen to each German phrase many times and repeat it aloud to remember it better.
The last part is a small German vocabulary test. You will have to match German vocabulary with their English translation by dragging and dropping. If you succeed the whole lesson is finished, and you can go back and continue the course.
