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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning the simple past tense of verbs via story context! Don't panic!
*by M***R on January 22, 2025*

Once you get over the fear of not having to know/understand EVERY German word on the page, you relax and discover that you can figure out a lot of the entertaining little short stories. I have taken a few German classes in the past and still do Duolingo German, but at first this book stymied me. I don't know how a person who knows nothing about Germanic languages would fair with this book (and it's says it's a Beginner Level), but I am enjoying it. Each story is 3-4 pages long, with some words emboldened. Those words are in a small glossary at the back of each story. Also, at the end of each short story is a 5 question multiple-choice quiz. The answers to the quizzes are way in the back of the book. There is also a somewhat more extensive Glossary in the back of the book. For me, at my level, I appreciate learning the simple past tense of verbs, by reading! And the stories are entertaining! I mostly learned only past participles in German class. I purchased the French and Danish books, too. I have also taken some French in my past, decades ago, so I will probably do okay deciphering the French stories. I have never taken Danish, but it being somewhat Germanic, will muddle through that, hopefully. I love languages, so I am driven! I do my family's genealogy and am of German and Danish and Swiss descent, so these books are fun!
