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

I'm guessing fromthe fact that google is returning intelligeble hints that the Arabic is Modern Standard Arabic? Perhaps that should be included in the description as the lingq library does include some Egyptian dialect.

Just a remark for the users of the German stories: they are spoken with a clear Austrian accent. Not a big deal but one should know about this.

These are awesome. Congratulations and a big thank you to all contributors. The way to use these lessons is to listen to them and read them many times. You don't have to stay on one till you master it. You move on to new stories to maintain novelty but you come back to the earlier ones. When you read you save words and phrases that will dictate what you review in the activities. When you reread them you should move some words to known, and make some phrases known and save some other phrases for review. When you listen over and over, you can't stay focused all the time. However, you notice different words and phrases each time. The things that you notice, and then perhaps forget, and then notice again, will gradually become part of your language habits in the new language. You will find that after a while you want to wander out and explore other content, more difficult, more interesting content, and then return to these stories to reinforce the basic patterns of the language. Good luck.

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

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!

Hi Zoran.

I have translated whole Who she ie ( The 26 parts ) into Malay, and voice recorded them ( Done by a native Malay speaker ). They are ready now to be added to the website. Should I send them to you? And at which Email please? Thank you.

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?
