About this listen
If you want to learn Russian in less time while also enjoying yourself, then pay attention...
The experience of going through a story allows us to escape our lives for a moment, and so this is a perfect way to start learning a language. Going through a story activates your brain and imagination, thus increasing the chance to learn easily and not quit.
Often, people start learning a new language only to give up after a couple of weeks. This is not due to the complexity of the language but because they become disheartened as the method they are using does not give the right motivation. This is much less likely to happen if your tool is short stories!
In Russian Short Stories: 11 Simple Stories for Beginners Who Want to Learn Russian in Less Time While Also Having Fun, you will encounter rich and new but not too complex vocabulary, which is translated at the end of the chapter, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the listening rhythm to look up every word in the dictionary.
Every paragraph is translated, and the summary of each story is given, thus providing a clearer comprehension of each sentence, while trying to prevent the temptation that the listener might have, if discouraged, of giving up and listening to the whole story in English.
After each chapter, there is a question section, which aims to test the listener's overall understanding of the story, containing both open-ended and multiple-choice questions. The solved questions are provided at the end, enabling you to check your own answers and, consequently, develop your skills.
So, if you want to learn Russian while having fun, scroll up and click the "buy now" button!

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Story
Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

My Russian teacher recommended this audiobook, having found new writers and stories in it yet she'd not before present. The side-by-side translations are very well done.

It's surprising how much building and meaning is maintained despite this. I won't be at a level where I can clearly understand the Russian side soon, but it's helpful to familiarize myself with the stories for now.

A well-known guide
I suspect, the answer is as follows: if you're looking to learn Russian, go on and wish something more suitable; this book will only mess up your current knowledge. As a native speaker, I just know it for pleasure and enjoyment of helping my translation...

Very good representation of the best
It's a very fun collection to know while traveling in Russia. I don't know that it includes the absolute "best" of every author, but all the stories give a good understanding of each writer's style and awareness.
