[Samichtime]

Some of these words are just too long! 🙀There were very few translations but it’s better than how Andre gives you 58 translations for a 5 paragraph story.

[Rania · رانية]

The conversations felt a tad off sometimes, as if someone was translating them directly from English to German.

[Annie]

Es war gut für mein lernen, ABER, ich kann nicht die enden glauben. Angela Merkel ist anrufen. Wirklich????

[Faust]

Das Buch ist sehr empfehlenswert, ich hatte so viel Spaß damit.

Die mysteriöse Geschichte wird deine Aufmerksamkeit erregen und deine Lernprozess nahtlos machen!

[Serdar Poirot]

Bir gün sanat öğrencisi olan Julia ve macera romanları yazan Silke, Meyer adında bir adamın işlettiği bir antikacıya gider. Burada Albrecht Dürer'e ait çizimler görürler. Ancak ertesi gün hem onun dükkanında, hem de yine bu Dürer'in koleksiyoncusu olan bir adamın evinde çizimler kaybolur. 2 ayrı suç işlenmiş ve Komiser Wiemand olayı soruşturmaya başlamıştır. Bu iki kız da olaya dahil olur ve koleksiyoncuyu ziyarete giderler. Evde çalışanlar ve kızı vardır. Kızı çizgi roman hastası bir gençtir. Dadı dahil herkesi sorgularlar ve doğru söylediklerini düşünürler. Kamera kayıtlarına bakınca adamın şapka ve paltosunu giymiş birini evden çıkarken görürler. Bu arada bu görünümde biri de onlarla konuşur ve yol gösterir. İkinci sefer eve gittiklerinde olayı çözdüğü yalanını atarlar ve adamın kızı Alexandria itiraf eder. Babası romanlar için para vermediğinden çizimleri romanlar ile takas etmiştir. Meyer ise dükkana gelen kızın aynı dadı gibi olduğunu söylemiştir. Ayrıca sanat uzmanı arkadaşı için komiserle Köln'e kadar giderler. Burada adam o sürede orada olmadığını söyler. Meyer'i takip ederler ve evrak çantasıyla bulurlar. Meyer kızlara silah çeker ama taksici Klaus onu etkisiz hale getirir. Koleksiyoncu Klaus'a ödül verir. Julia bir sanat galerisine girer. Ayrıca Silke için de en büyük yayınevini bu macerayı kitap haline getirmesi için ayarlar. İş çözülmüş ve herkes mutlu olmuştur. 101 tane normal görüşme içeren bu kitap Almanca'ya yeni başlayanlar için güzel bir kaynak.

[Madame Histoire]

After reading 3 times the Spanish version (ebook + audiobook), I decided to only listened to the German version. The story is exactly the same - only the location, names and some details (food, painter) are changed to a German setting.

The concept is really good, with dialogues making up a story. The story is okay but feels very juvenile level.

I am a B2 level ish and with knowing the story in advance, listening to the German audio was super easy

[Jayant]

Very good book

I enjoyed reading this book very much. I have been studying German for about a year now and I think this was a right time to read this book. I enjoyed figuring out words from context and I could correctly many times. I highly recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading other works from Olly.

[Shari Craddock]

This book is actually one long story, not separate conversations. I would not recommend it for a beginner since it is completely in German. It is A2-B1 level. Really fun to read if you have already studied basic German.

[Paul Overstars]

I've read this book once, it was pretty quick and easy, and now I am reading it for the second time, this time more attentively to learn grammar structures and some words that are vague or new to me. The story is quite entertaining, and it's easy to read if you have a B1 German.

[Patricia]

Great story

Excellent story, my son really liked it. Good vocabulary and not too difficult. It is all one story, not just excerpts of conversations.

[Owen Mccarthy]

Really delighted I read this. Great start remembering my German from 15+ years ago.

[Curtis Hartwig]

Exciting

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is an exciting story with a delightful ending. And I feel that I have mastered a significant vocabulary!

[Hana Gabrielle (HG) Bidon]

This book helped me learn spoken German more effectively. For a decent portion of the book, I read the physical book with the audiobook to hear the dialogues.

[Mandy]

Great book for beginners!

[VLADYSLAV HATS]

meh.

[Bruno B]

nice in the beginning, but then drags on quite a bit

[Thiago Perrotta]

The conversations are utterly boring. On the flip side the text is quite easy to read and understand.

[Scott]

Excellent resource to support German language learning. The language is A2/B1 but you actually feel good reading a proper story in German. A great way to build vocabulary a d follow a train of thought. Recommended to use alongside learning app and classes. Recommend using on Kindle too as you can use the translate function for any words and phrases not covered at the end of each chapter.

[Daniel]

This book is more towards B1 level. I had to translate many words in each dialogue. I assess myself somewhere in A2. So this book was a bit challenging for me.

[Laura-leigh]

A super way to learn German without realising you’re learning! Es ist sehr gut und viel Spaß!

[Pietro]

The story is enjoyable, but there are some typos and grammar mistakes

[Mrs Sheila]

sehr gut

I enjoyed reading this book even though I didn’t know a lot of the vocabulary. I got the gist of the story and with the translation app, I have learned more new words.
