Webbu German short stories

I think this is a really cool idea and would be something I would use. Is there some way to translate short phrases like "drehte sich um" all together rather than word by word?

This is awesome! I've been casually learning German for 200+ days now, so this will make a great addition to my practice. Are the short stories generated by LLMs too?

I have found ChatGPT a great tool for that sort of task (I study French). A typical book meant for students trying to improve their reading skills usually starts from a certain…

I learned more from comparing these two paragraphs than from reading the original. Little things like where the comma goes, sich verlaufen vs sich verirren. Ich soll mehr mit le…

Native German speaker here. My partner is a native English speaker and I was about to recommend this to her. However, it looks like a lot of this is auto generated/translated,…

Thanks for confirming my gut response, that something felt "off" about the language here. As a German learner (B1-B2ish) I had a sense something was off-key, then had a suspicion…

Seems silly to translate short stories into German, rather than just using German short stories. Even if translation got incredibly good, the "real" German stories would have the…

Looks cool! Though, I'd like to note that the fisherman story is not only unidiomatic German, but also contains a bunch of mistakes

Intermediate German student here. I haven’t studied German in about seven years. I found the example story surprisingly easy to understand. I wonder if that’s because it was…

Clicking on the words launches new tabs/windows into Google for translation. Very annoying. sending me to Google as a search link is super annoying. Some words (e.g., war, Tag,…

I am experiencing an issue where if you click a word to get translation, a new Google search with 'translate "war" to english' opens. The problem is that it doesn't try to…

Thanks for sharing this, I'm trying it out now. One thing I noticed is that the translation links are auto-detecting the language, so some words are assumed by Google to be a…

Every week? you need to supply daily assignments at least. You can't learn much with just one study session per week. Maybe you can drop down to 5 days per week (weekends off),…

If this is using LLMS then it would be great to expand to as many languages as possible because anthing outside of large languages are very poorly served by existing language…

I would love this in Egyptian Arabic.

+1 for Spanish

Hey this is really a great project! Thanks for sharing. Any thoughts on expanding to other languages?

Would it be possible to add different translation engines, like DeepL or ChatGPT? (ChatGPT in particular is often much better than all the alternatives.)

Paired with the autogenerated questions which require upgrading to check. One might as well use Duolingo, they have an interactive story feature which I feel does a better job…

I recently started using LingQ for this. It's effortful rather than easy, which makes it a bit harder to develop into a habit, but the technique seems very effective, and the…

When I was studying German twenty or so years ago I got good results from reading lots and lots of children's books, starting with the really basic stuff--like books meant for…

Kafka has some collections of short stories that are great. Some are no more than a page long but impactful, so they satisfying to stumble through with bad German skills.
