About this listen
If you want to learn German quickly and without getting bored, don't waste any more time. Keep reading...
Learning a new language is not easy, and it can be quite boring and tiring if you don't have the right tools to learn it. This is also why many people choose to travel and dive directly in the place, but it is not such a simple solution for everyone. It will seem like a misplaced question, but science helps you here: Do you know that we memorize and learn information more easily through stories? That's because our brain likes it, and it has been so used to it from an early age, with the stories they told us, cartoons etc. In this way, we are more inclined to learn. As a result, it is easier to learn and memorize a new language by listening to stories.
Now, I don't want to influence you by saying that mine is the best book in circulation. You will be the judge, as you surely know there are several books similar to this one for learning German, but they are not really optimal or suitable for beginners for different reasons: complicated terms are used, they have too long stories with no parallel text in English, lack of vocabulary, grammatical errors, lack of techniques and suggestions, and other carelessness issues that you will not find in this book.
These are some of the things you'll be learning form this audiobook:
- Tips and techniques about learning languages and key insights into learning German
- The fundamentals of the German language
- Some of the most complex issues of the German language
- Verb conjugations in the Present Tense
- 25 dual-language lessons in parallel text, broken down into verb tenses
- The present simple tense with the verb "sein"
- The present simple tense
- And much more!
By purchasing this audiobook, you will have the big advantage that only this book offers - the parallel translation of the stories in English, which will definitively cancel any difficulty in understanding and memorizing the text.

Story
Spanish is more popular than ever before. Maybe because of the undeniable sex appeal of Latino legends such as Shakira and Pablo Alborán. Maybe because there are 21 Spanish speaking countries you might not want to miss out on. Charles the Fifth already once said if he were to speak to God, he would speak in the Spanish tongue. Whatever motivates you to learn the language of God, I promise you won't regret it.

Full of snowcapped maintains, untouched landscapes, historically significant cities, and some of the best food on the planet. But Germany is not an English-speaking country - which means, very simply, if you want to see everything that this wonderland has to offer, then you need to learn the language. Or at least learn enough of it to talk with the locals.

Jessica really wanted to learn Spanish but thought she just couldn’t find the time to do so. She tried everything from one on one lessons before work to attending local Mexican parties in hopes of finding Spanish-speaking friends. Nothing seemed like it was going to work and if it did, it was going to take too much time. With no positive results coming from any of these attempts, Jessica began to believe that learning a new language was going to be an impossible task.

Quick and Entertaning way to Learn German
"First off, I'd say you still need to have a good grasp of German, because it's not for complete beginners who don't know any words in German. Probably more for the Level 2 to 3 beginner to intermediate.

These are basically beginning short stories for those wanting to be able to read German fluently. They're quite short, rather odd, but keep your interest. I would arrange the book slightly differently but it works.

A charming way to practice fluency with real world situations -- what I mean to say is that the content, rich vocabulary, and a range of tenses makes for great practicing material."

Rekindled my love for German
I forgot how much I love German. It's been a while since went over my German knowledge. I still remember a ton and this was a nice refresher that proved how beautiful the language is. Definitely helps when the narrator is calm and enthusiastic at just the right moments throughout the stories. Cool idea!
