This book does a solid job of incorporating words of intermediate difficulty into its stories. The problem is the stories barely qualify as such. I’m no master of narratology, but it would seem that every story—even one created solely for educational exercises—should contain some kind of drama. The conflict needn’t be excessive, and probably shouldn’t be, as that might detract from the didactic purpose of the tale. But still, the stories here are frankly....lame, for lack of a better word.
To give a basic example of what the reader can expect: a person, who’s already pretty happy, resolves to start their own business. They get a loan, and, going from strength to strength, become more and more successful, the end. Some of the “stories” (the word really does deserve the sneer quotes here) are slightly more personal. Two old friends run into each other, exchange pleasantries and praise and promise never to go so long without seeing each other again. THE END.
I hate to sound churlish, but after a while it becomes grating. The best way to learn a foreign language—or to keep one’s present knowledge from atrophying—is to trick the mind, entertain it so it doesn’t even realize it’s learning. This works especially well with young students who are learning a language under duress, and are recalcitrant under the best of conditions. This vignettes in this book simply do not entertain, and barely meet the threshold requirement of story. It’s frankly more than a little disappointing, and I don’t blame the author(s) for choosing to remain anonymous.
