FAQ: Learning German with short stories

Which level should I start with?
Start with A1 or A2 if you want something very simple. If you already follow short news in German, try B1. Switch to B2 when you want more detail and a more natural flow.
How do I practice listening?
Play the audio while reading, then try listening without looking. Repeat the same story on an easier level first, then a harder one to notice new words and connectors.
Is it free?
Yes, you can read and listen for free. Each story includes audio, vocabulary help and a quick quiz.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes! Start with A1 level stories if you're a complete beginner. The stories are simplified for language learners, with vocabulary help and audio to support your learning.
How does it help with vocabulary?
Each story includes highlighted difficult words with quick definitions. You can hover or tap words to see meanings while reading. This helps you learn vocabulary naturally from context, not from word lists.
