Quick Start Guide
This series is designed for beginner German learners starting around the A1/2 level. If you can "understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases" this series will slowly ease you into reading and understanding connected sentences and enjoy simple but fun storytelling.
Yes. You'll find that the level gradually increases, building up vocabulary and frequently used expressions from various areas of relevance (e.g. personal and family information, shopping, cooking, employment, culture) which are successively utilized to form increasingly complex conversation topics, both concrete and abstract (gently leading up to ~B1/2).
We offer ebook, paperback and audio formats on Amazon, Apple Books, Book Depository, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Audible or wherever you prefer to get your books and audiobooks. On this website you can also download each volume in PDF, EPUB, MOBI and MP3 format (see bundles).
For most learners we'd recommend to start with the first book Café in Berlin and slowly work yourself up from there. However, if it seems too easy, please feel free to skip ahead a few episodes and join the story at a point that suits your individual learning level. While the episodes are loosely connected in their overall narrative, each book tells a self-contained story.
How the difficulty develops
A rough look at how the reading level (CEFR) rises over the course of the series.
The band shows the overall slope, not a per-book rating — difficulty never climbs in perfectly even steps. Expect roughly A1 at the start, growing toward B1 / B2 by the last volume.
What Readers Say
They immerse you in German in such a way that you forget you are even reading in a different language.
build your confidence as a German learner — all in an entertaining and low-stress way
What I liked about the Dino books was that it was not just text to learn German but were actually fun stories to read.
It's been 2 years since I've started my journey of learning German. Since then, I read lots of books from big publishing houses, but I can guarantee that by far LearnOutLive offers the most enjoyable collection of books I have ever read in German.
