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.

Would it be possible for you to edit the first post of this thread and put links to all the different mini story projects found throughout this thread? That would be very useful and would let us have a better overview of what has been produced and what is available here in each language.
Thanks again for all your hard work on the project, Zoran and company!

Serbia
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.

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 guys,
if some of you can, or if you know anyone who can help us translate/record more stories into Portuguese (both Brazilian and European) that would be awesome. Just contact me at zoran(at)lingq.com and I will assign stories.
I am doing some reorganization, contacting lot of people for all languages that still needs to be done and I expect to have lot more stories uploaded on the site in near future.
This week more of Chinese, Korean, Turkish and German. Also, one new language will be added to Beta soon!

Hello Zoran, I was wondering if you have any news about the chinese ministories, whether or not they are going to finish the level 2 and level 3? I find them to be really useful for a beginner like me. And I wish to listen to more samples of ministories. Thank you for answering if you have any information about it.
I noticed there is only level 1 in the French ministories, I can try to translate some of them if you would like to (I can't assure a good sound quality though).

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!

Aren't all of them based on "100 Daily Polish Stories"? Why do you have to record Polish once again?
March 2018-
Administrator
Canada
The mini-stories concept is based on Piotr's 100 Polish stories, who got the idea from AJ Hoge's Effortless English, who got the idea from Blaine Ray of TPRS, who might have got the idea from someone else. Our stories are original in content, and we want them to be mirrored in all available languages. They are not the same as the 100 Polish stories, which by the way are excellent. Piotr even let us use some in our library. If you are learning Polish I suggest you visit RealPolish.pl.

Firstly, thank you for the list and the mini stories themselves! And I'm sorry, if it's a wrong place to write this, but it seems that I've found a couple of typos in the questions of the first French stories: in the 1st, 4th question: "et midie", not "et midi" and in the 2nd story, 8th question: "reste" instead of "rester".

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.
May 30 at 15:05-

The audio quality of the new Polish stories is wonderful. I have already gone through a lot of them to correct run on words and typos. I am sure there are more. I would ask anyone noticing these errors to correct them or bring them our notice. This does not detract that much from the enjoyment of the series and we should have the problem under control soon. I am going to go in and look for more errors in an hour or so.

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.

It looks good but is there a right-to-left switch that needs to be flipped for Farsi?
June 17 at 22:51 -
France
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!
June 18 at 01:06-
Administrator
Serbia
No problem! I hope to we will be able to add more languages in the near future.
Farsi stories 1-15 were done by volunteer, while we used professional for stories 16-50 (she is also working on stories 51-60). However, both of them are native Farsi speakers. In which stories you think that accent is strange?

Any progress with this? I just watched Steve's latest video on the value of the mini-stories, and I fully agree. Yet, there is still nothing available for Norwegian. I would have thought that these would be the basis of any language that is put into production. The listening-resources for Norwegian are not good, and the mini-stories are clearly needed. When can we expect them? Thanks.

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.
