Invaluable for an adult beginner
I loved listening to these stories whilst learning German via Duolingo. I ended up buying the paperback so I could cross check words & between the two learnt so much more than what I would if using Duolingo alone.
I listened to the audiobook on walks & in the car (understanding very little to begin with). But as I listened I understood more & in the end it felt like a return to childhood - wanting to see exactly what happened and how each story ended. Each story was fun and interesting and not at all boring. Highly recommend if you're new to German!
