100 Italian Short Stories For Beginners - Christian Stahl
Introduction
Reading culturally interesting and entertaining short stories to enhance your Italian is an easy way to improve your Italian language skills. This book contains a selection of 100 short stories for beginners with a wide range of genres, all prepared specifically for Italian language learners. The aim of this book is to teach different Italian vocabulary and phrases associated with short stories, and to improve your Italian language skills in a short period of time.
Advance as you read
Each of the first 80 short stories take about 2 minutes to read and average about 150 to 300 words. Important words and phrases relevant to each topic were carefully selected. The stories 80 to 100 are longer and slightly more advanced in terms of vocabulary and contain some of the vocabulary from the previous stories. The last 20 stories take about 3 to 5 minutes to read and consist of most of the previously mentioned vocabulary.
All stories are written by a linguist to ensure you can learn from authentic material while fine-tuning your Italian vocabulary and improving your comprehension.
The content is intended mainly for elementary to intermediate level learners, but it will also be useful for more advanced learners as a way of practicing their reading skills and comprehension of the Italian language.
Using this book effectively
To learn Italian effectively you just read each Italian story at a time and study the vocabulary after reading.
Vocabulary will be introduced to you at a reasonable pace, so you’re not overwhelmed with difficult words all at once. Here, you won’t have to look up every other word, but you can simply enjoy the story and absorb new words simply from the story’s context.
The Italian contained in here are written using easy-to-understand grammar and vocabulary that both, those at the beginner and intermediate levels can understand, appreciate, and learn from.
Some stories are focused on dialogue. These story contains loads of natural dialogue, so you can learn conversational Italian as you read. This is doubly beneficial as you will improve your speaking ability as well. Over time, you will build an intuitive understanding of how Italian functions. This differs from a more theoretical understanding put together via learning rules and conceptual examples. It’s more important to reach to finish the story without stopping, then to understand each and every word.
Audiobook in MP3 Format
At the end of this book, after the last story, you can find the download link for the audio file. It contains 10 of the more extensive stories (90 to 100) that you find in the book.
1. Chef Per Hobby
Mi chiamo Angela e oggi vi mostrerò come preparare una cotoletta. Io preferisco la bistecca di manzo, ma molte persone usano anche la carne di maiale.
Per prima cosa taglio il manzo a fette sottili. Dopo, le schiaccio con la mano fino a quando non saranno ben dritte. Cospargo entrambi i lati con sale e pepe. Preparo tre piatti: nel primo piatto abbiamo la farina, nel secondo un uovo sbattuto e nel terzo il pangrattato. Le fette vengono prima passate nella farina, poi nell’uovo e infine girate nel pangrattato. La carne viene fritta su entrambi i lati dai 2 ai 3 minuti in una padella.
2. Dialogo – Cos’è la Cultura?
Sono seduto con alcuni studenti in un bar a Roma.
Si tratta di un incontro internazionale.
Americani, Italiani e Tedeschi seduti allo stesso tavolo che discutono.
L’Americano chiede, „Cosa significa davvero cultura nel tuo paese?"
Rispondo, „Quel termine può indicare parecchie cose. Letteratura, teatro, arte o addirittura il modo in cui parliamo, incluso il modo in cui ci si comporta."
„Comprende anche il comportamento?" chiede l’Americano.
„Il comportamento inteso in termini generali, probabilmente è una parte di essa", afferma il Tedesco.
„Quindi ciò significa che quando io mi comporto bene dimostro di avere cultura," chiede l’Americano sorridendo.
„Più o meno, rispondo. „Ma anche l‘educazione e le buone maniere potrebbero denotare cultura
„In Italia è possibile dire che io ho cultura e tu invece no?" chiede l’Americano.
„No, sarebbe arrogante", affermo io.
3. Il Circo
Oggi sono andato al circo con mia madre. Lo spettacolo iniziava alle sei, ma siamo arrivati in anticipo perché sapevamo che ci sarebbe stata una lunga fila alle casse per i biglietti. Mia madre ha chiesto perché i biglietti fossero così cari. Il venditore le ha spiegato che possiedono dei grandi animali come le tigri, ecc. e che essi hanno bisogno di mangiare enormi quantità di carne ogni giorno. Finalmente, inizia lo spettacolo. Per primo appare un clown, che scherza facendo dei gesti con le mani. Subito dopo viene montata una grande gabbia e arrivano gli animali. Vediamo un elefante che alza la gamba, una scimmia vestita con una divisa scolastica da bambina, e alla fine vediamo i felini che vengono portati nella gabbia. Una tigre deve saltare all’interno di un anello in fiamme e un leone deve saltare da uno sgabello all’altro. Chiedo a mia madre se gli animali fanno queste cose anche in natura. Mia madre rispose che non lo sapeva.
4. Una Passeggiata Nel Parco
Marco and Sofia sono due adolescenti molto amici. Ogni domenica fanno una passeggiata nel parco per un paio d’ore. Di solito Marco passa a prendere Sofia a casa.
Oggi è domenica ed è anche il compleanno di Marco; compie tredici anni. Marco ha un’idea. Sa che i genitori dell’amica oggi non saranno a casa e va a trovarla in anticipo. Bussa
