關於本電子書

This illustrated free bilingual book is for bilingual children and German language students with a basic or intermediate knowledge who want to study a dual language text in English and German. For ease of understanding, the languages are displayed together mostly one or two sentences at a time. The aim was to make the translation as direct as possible but always using everyday language of native speakers. Reading this entertaining dual language book will help you develop your knowledge of the German language. 

Basil finds himself in a strange new pot and meets our other chatty little plants. They think they know some stuff, but when it comes to animals, they know nothing. One wild assumption followed by another gets them into big trouble. Next time they may not be so lucky!
We hope you enjoy the story.
Excerpt from the book:
The first thing in his life that Basil remembered was cold air. A little girl put Basil's pot down on the front door step.
Das Erste, woran sich Basilikum in seinem Leben erinnerte, war die kalte Luft. Ein kleines Mädchen stellte Basilikums Topf auf die Stufe vor der Haustür.

Next to the front door he saw a big flowerpot. It was bright blue and on it was painted a picture of an orange cat.
"What a scary animal!" thought Basil.
Neben der Haustür sah er einen großen Blumentopf. Der Blumentopf war leuchtend blau und darauf war ein Bild von einer orangefarbenen Katze gemalt.
„Was für ein unheimliches Tier!“, dachte Basilikum. 

評分和評論

I like it,and I really understand the content, helpful to learn more English and German. Here is a feedback from my first experience after I listen to the last part of it.( I hope to use it for long time) The screen page stopped for almost 2 seconds while I was listening so that I could not see the words when it turned to next page.But I still want to install the app and looking forward to seeing more from you.Hopefully,there is someone could see this and help to confirm with it ,solve to make it better. Thank you for your patience and reading it .

Colin Hann and Pedro Páramo are friends and partners in the LingoLibros adventure. LingoLibros is a young and developing company. Our aim is to produce quality bilingual books with an easy to follow parallel text, at an affordable price. We believe that they will be of particular benefit to parents with bilingual children who hope to develop their child's understanding of their native tongues. Our books are, so far, short stories with amusing illustrations suitable for reading aloud to young children in a single language or in a combination of two languages. Older children can enjoy reading these stories by themselves to learn and practice their second language. Students with a basic or intermediate knowledge of a foreign language will find these books very helpful in developing their vocabulary and understanding of the second language. We hope you benefit from and enjoy reading these bilingual tales.
