Please be patient. Zoran has many other tasks and is coordinating this project with over 40 volunteers for 20 or so languages.

I have just uploaded lot more Mini Stories in several languages:

French level 1, stories 6-15, hopefully rest of level 1 stories coming soon: https://www.lingq.com/learn/fr/web/course/288547

Esperanto level 1, first 5 stories: https://www.lingq.com/learn/eo/web/course/288564

European Spanish level 1, 10 more stories: https://www.lingq.com/learn/es/web/course/276527

Korean level 1, 10 more stories: https://www.lingq.com/learn/ko/web/course/275151

Arabic level 1, 5 more stories: https://www.lingq.com/learn/ar/web/course/274299

Swedish level 1, 5 more stories: https://www.lingq.com/learn/sv/web/course/273842

Tomorrow I'll upload Dutch, Chinese and more Korean stories.

I saw it on the lingq kindle app and immediately went to check out the new lessons. They are very wonderful lessons. There aren't a lot of audio for Slovak, so this will help tremendously in learning Slovak. I've recently started Colloquial Slovak. I can't take book with to work, but I do have my small kindle tablet and kindle phone that fit into my pockets. I must thank everyone who made Slovak possible onto the Lingq website.

Zoran, thank you and the LingQ team!

Only level 1 Arabic is available for now.

Ukrainian all 3 levels are now up (60 lessons)

level 1 - https://www.lingq.com/learn/uk/web/course/301682

level 2 - https://www.lingq.com/learn/uk/web/course/301691

level 3 - https://www.lingq.com/learn/uk/web/course/302687

Also, Romanian all 3 levels are in uploading process and will be available very soon.

Sure Paul, here is the link: https://www.lingq.com/learn/de/web/course/306407

Stories 11-20 aren't uploaded yet.

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!!

Hi Zoran, any more German short stories imminent?

Lot more Korean Mini Stories coming really soon! We will have all 3 levels available.

I'm on it. Thank you for reminding be :-)

I am currently looking for someone to do all 60 Polish stories for us. I hope that we will have Polish completely done within next month or so.

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!

Not sure at the moment, but I'll try to get more stories and all of them done asap! :)

Hello @omarior!

Chinese Mini Stories level 3 are now up: https://www.lingq.com/learn/zh/web/course/336615 (10 stories).

One of our best volunteers is working on last 15 Chinese stories (36-40 and 51-60) and they should be done within next 15 days, which will complete all 60 Chinese stories.

If you can help us with French, that would be great! Please contact me on zoran(at)lingq.com and I will assign you 5 or 10 stories. If you can record them too, that would be awesome!

Really looking forward to the Korean stories.

Aren't all of them based on "100 Daily Polish Stories"? Why do you have to record Polish once again?

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.

Hey Zoran, I know you have answered it some time ago allready, but any updates about the japanese stories?

i am trying to find the stories in German. I can find 1-10, 31-40 and 41-45. Are 11-30 hiding somewhere? Is there a timline for 46-end ?

So far they are amazing, but from 10 to 31 is a pretty big jump.

I think the reason is that Zoran (who runs the project) lost contact with the Japanese volunteers. If I remember correctly he has said that at some point all mini stories will be translated and recorded if not by volunteers then my professionals.

It looks good but is there a right-to-left switch that needs to be flipped for Farsi?

Great news, thanks Zoran!

Quick question: is it possible that the Farsi reader is (also) a native English speaker? I feel like I'm hearing a slight British accent when listening to the stories (the aspirated final "t"'s for example). Nothing bad, I'm just curious.

In any case, thanks for this, I'm looking forward to working through them!

Why not? If we find volunteers to translate and record the stories into Slovenian, we will gladly add it as supported language.

Yes, I believe I will upload 10 more French stories this week and hopefully have them all completed until the end of month.

That's what we have for now. Hopefully we will complete European Spanish too in the near future.

Yes, we do hope to get Norwegian stories too. Right now we are looking into completing Japanese and French stories as priority, then we will look into completing other languages too.

5 more French stories are up: https://www.lingq.com/learn/fr/web/course/391667

I hope we will have rest of French stories done within next 2 weeks.

will more Levantine Arabic Short Stories be added anytime soon?

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.

Good catch, thanks @Ozemite ! Added

At this moment we only have Brazilian Portuguese Mini Stories available on the site, but we do plan to upload European version too.

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.

Yes, I finally have some good news! First 10 European Portuguese Mini Stories will be up today!

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.
