Helpful for language immersion

This kind of bilingual children's story is exactly what I have been searching for. The narrator who is proficient in both languages first reads a sentence in English then again in German. You get to hear the German immediately after hearing the meaning in English so that you don't have to meticulously translate word for word but rather take it in naturally as a child does when acquiring language.

I like this because I just listen Ina relaxed state instead of trying to force the translation. After listening several times the phrases in German become more and more familiar, understandable.

I'm going to see if the author has more children's stories.

I just have one criticism - the recording quality could be better. But the existing sound quality is good enough to clearly understand the spoken text. The meter and reading speed is good.
