I’m not really a beginner, but I like to read these for review.
I love the words they use to develop the vocabulary for the most part, but overall the stories are way too long. When you are busy trying to translate a story it can be hard to remember what happened and it is also harder to retain any new vocab when there is a really long list.
I did also like the summary at the end of the story and feel like those helped me the most since the actual story was not actually very short.
Overall, these stories are still a great way to get your practice in.
