Or even give us a link at the top of this thread to each of the series of mini stories in Each language. In particular for me: is Chinese in the process of getting past the first ten stories?

@gregf That's good suggestion, thanks! I'll edit the first post and include all Mini Stories in all languages there. Lot of new Mini Stories added lately!

Some stories are translated/recorded by volunteers, but for some we use paid professionals (Italian, Arabic, Spanish etc...).

Most of English stories were created by professional writer we hired, and some of them created Steve himself. The form of these stories is based on the storytelling technique that Steve discovered at Realpolish.

In time we hope to introduce grammar explanations for all of these stories.If anyone wants to help out, please let me know.

The quality of the Czech stories, the narration, the sound, all are excellent. Thank you. Thank you. Can't wait to refresh my Czech and use these to get at some issues of grammar, and very common vocabulary that always give me trouble. And now back to Arabic, a lot tougher sledding!!

Yes, I was a bit sceptical in the beginning of the project, but the possibility to compare the mini-stories between different languages is great and very helpful.

Thanks a lot, Zoran and Steve!

Thanks for posting these stories, Zoran. The audio quality is amazing. However, I just noticed two spelling errors in Story 21. Spawdził instead of sprawdził and nowey instead of nowy. Should I correct any spelling errors I see in the 'Edit' menu? Nevertheless, the audio is correct.

Truth to be told, we only have 5 stories in Esperanto. We haven't any volunteer for Norwegian, and that is why we don't have any story done in that language. We will do our best to find volunteers and have it completed too, we will complete all languages available on the site, that's for sure. Some languages just take longer than other, this is a huge project and so many people is involved.

Yes, I'll upload more within next 3-4 days. Cantonese and some other languages too.

Well German has tons of other content available, but we do need to have minimum 40 or even all 60 Mini Stories completed when adding new language to Beta.

More German stories are work in progress and will be completed in the near future.

We will add more as soon as we get more stories. If you are from Denmark and are interested to help, let me know! - zoran(at)lingq.com

I have to agree. I reach a conversational level faster when I focus on mini-stories at the beginning. I am now using the mini-stories (which I am very familiar with by now!) to focus on points of grammar in Russian and Ukrainian. We'll see how it turns out.

It's not easy finding materials in European Portuguese . So this is highly appreciated.

Brilliant. Thank you! These are really useful and seem just what I needed to give me some structure. :) please let us know when the rest go up. :) thank you!!

Hi Zoran... i'm loving the European Portuguese Mini Stories, and they've given my language learning motivation a good kick start again! The lady's voice is really clear and the recordings are excellent. Do you know when the next set will be ready for use? I'm working my way through and woudl like to be able to continue with them, if possible.

That's a friend of mine, actually, albeit one I don't see very often. Last I heard from her, in late March, she said she was making headway, and thought that she might have them done in a month or so, so hopefully we will hear something soon.

We have 10 stories in Hungarian delivered so far.

I hoped somebody wants to continue translating into Esperanto...

I am currently sitting on audio for the first 7 Finnish stories; hopefully will have time to edit them this weekend, and ideally meet up again with my friend in Edinburgh for another batch in November. Which ones have you got already? If they are from someone who can do more of them sooner than that, it may be worth asking if they would be willing to - although, if you would be willing to send me the ones you've got, I can normalise them to the same volume as the ones my friend did (and indeed, compare the audio quality - if I was able to get better sound quality than the other person, then it might be worth waiting till my friend can do another batch, even if it takes a little longer).

Hopefully Norwegian too!

Great! Croatian is up? Dutch is up? Thank you

I hope Lithuanian will be added soon!

@bull We have all 60 stories done in European Portuguese. They were delivered a few days ago and I will put them on the site soon.

No much progress with Norwegian so far I am afraid.

I've now got the raw audio of stories 9 to 14; still need to edit them. Hopefully have time in the next couple of weeks.

OK, I'll edit the top post in a bit. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thai is coming in 2020, we already have some stories delivered for it and I expect to have it available probably before summer.

We don't have anything in Albanian so far.

I had to do audio optimization so it took longer than expected. Started loading them now, all 60 will be up within a day or two.

@DocT All 60 Hungarian stories are up now.
