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!

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?

I'm curious: you mention volunteers are translating these. What license are the mini stories and translations released under? Thanks.

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 Italian stories are great but compared with Spanish I have noticed the Spanish lessons have some explanations which are not available in Italian! Thank you very much!

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!!

Thank you all for the effort, specially Zoran for coordinating the project. These mini stories are great! And it is really helpful to compare them between languages.

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.

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.

The Turkish mini stories look GREAT! I won't try the Portuguese ones because they are in the Brazilian Portuguese version which is unfortunately not spoken in Coimbra, etc. I will be retiring to Portugal. Please advise if/when the European version is developed. Obrigado.

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.

@jameskirby @SaudiMike We are currently looking to hire someone to take care of European Portuguese version of Mini Stories. I hope to hire someone during the weekend, and hopefully in 10-15 days we will have first European Portuguese stories up on the site. I'll do my best to make it as fast as possible.

Looking forward to the German series of mini stories being completed. There are only about 25 in total (and in random order); to have a Beta Language 40 are needed!? These stories are a much heralded by Steve on youtube, perhaps something could be done to get these in order or to add the missing ones.

Have you already got volunteers for Finnish? I have a couple of friends who might be willing to help if I ask them nicely.

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.

Just in case it is easier to ping you a message here than by putting up a top-level post, or by email, I was wanting to ask if you were still wanting people to compose new original mini-stories so as to expand the set? I could have a go at writing some, if you don't already have people working on it.

that's brillliant - than kyou, Zoran! I look forward to working through them. :)

Steve mentioned a few times during his workouts that there is someone recording mini-stories in Hungarian. Just out of curiosity how far along is that?
May 09 at 08:21-

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.

A few updates here:
- Good news, German and Korean are now finally complete and you can find all 60 stories for these two languages available in the Library.
- Since my latest update, Serbian was also completed.
- More Dutch stories added. I expect all 60 done here too within next month.
- Hungarian was added in Beta and I started uploading Hungarian stories too. All 60 will be up within next few days.
- Next in line for uploading are Scandinavian languages. I received new stories in Swedish, Danish and Finnish and will start uploading them.
- Croatian Mini Stories are also coming within next few days - all 60!

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).

I have been practicing Spanish currently. Lots of listening practice is necessary if I want to understand the spoken language. I use these resources . They are pretty useful
