Great for beginners / improvers

I loved being able to understand 95% of the vocab / verbs. Story is amusing. Narrative is very slow. I would like to find some books a tiny bit more advanced.

Good job André Klein! Thanks

I would have liked it to be longer.

thats what she said. Reviews requires at least fifteen words, so here I am, writing them.
The book was enjoyable, I will probably hear it again when I can understand the whole story and not just a few words and sentences.

Hearings in German

I enjoyed hearing in the German language. It is helping me to be able to understand audibly the language , which I feel is just as, if not more, important than being able to read it.

I Love it.

Interesting story. Very pleasant to hear. Excellent Job. Very well done! I highly recomend it.

Sehr Gut

Muy buen audiolibro. No cuesta terminarlo. Las historias son sencillas y se entiende todo.

Good resource for A2 German

The narrator speaks slowly and clearly, making it easy to hear each word. The stories are simple but amusing and include simple past tense.

Hoping for more from the same author

What did you love best about Learn German With Stories: Café in Berlin ? 10 Short Stories for Beginners?

The narration matches the text in the ebook (also available in paperback). Each chapter is short, entertaining, and easy for a beginner. Mr. Klein is listed as the narrator, so you're hearing a native speaker read German. There are helpful (and non-instrusive) sound effects to accompany parts of the text. For instance, you might hear a crowd cheering when the text is about soccer. It never drowns out the narration. The narration is read very slowly, not at normal speed. This is helpful, but it would be even more helpful if the Audible book contained two parts, with the second part containing the narration read at normal speed.

What other book might you compare Learn German With Stories: Café in Berlin ? 10 Short Stories for Beginners to and why?

I don't think there is anything quite like this book or this series. They are very professionally done and the prices are extremely reasonable. You can listen while you're reading, or you can listen without the printed text, to test your listening comprehension.

Which character – as performed by André Klein – was your favorite?

He reads with enough expression to make it interesting, but not over-the-top, which would interfere with the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, it's not intended for that.

Any additional comments?

I've read and re-read the ebook versions of Mr. Klein's books, and the Audible version is a worthwhile addition. I would like it if the narration were read a second time at a much faster speed. This would only add about 20-30 minutes to the audiobook and it would not be necessary to include the sound effects, so it shouldn't be hard to do. I am looking forward to Audible versions of Mr. Klein's other books.

Clear crisp pronunciation at a sedate speed

I have the book, but haven't read it all yet. My approach has been to listen to Mr Klein's recording so that when I read the book I will be able to imagine how it should sound as I read it. Some might find his pronunciation slow, but he is trying to meet the needs of absolute beginners learning German and I found it clear and easily followable.

I have no hesitation in recommending it to early learners of German.

a great supplemental learning tool

This has been a great way to improve and to gage my understanding capability. I need more audios like this.

Great addition to the written version of the stories

Highly recommended this simple and useful short stories. Make sure u get the written version of the same stories on kindle for optimal results.
