Learning German with parallel text is the most rewarding and effective method to learn a language. Existing vocabulary is refreshed, while new vocabulary is instantly put into practice. The English grammar easily sinks in through our cleverly written and well formatted stories. Especially designed for the eReader - each sentence has been translated line by line making it easy to follow.
Recommended for beginners with a good basis of German-, intermediate level learners and as a refreshers course. Our nine easy to moderately hard stories contain European culture and characters. The stories have been written to keep the readers attention and are fun to read for you to learn through your motivation.
The stories are mildly interesting, enough to keep me slogging through the German-only portion that follows the parallel text portion. I learned a little bit of German vocabulary (though I probably only remember a handful of the words that I didn't already know), I learned interesting tidbits about some cities I have never visited, but mostly I had the satisfaction of being able to read stories in German (which I know only from one semester of college German plus seven years of Duolingo) and understand the gist of them if not all the details. I'd rather have more interesting content, but for a free ebook I can't complain.
