How to Learn Italian with Easy Short Stories Since these stories are often pretty straightforward, you'll need a simple plan for learning effectively with them. To get the most out of your short story, I suggest this three-step approach: Read the story for the gist, not the details. Focus on trying to understand the main ideas of the story: the characters, the major plot developments and the setting. Read it again, but this time, do a careful read. Highlight or underline unknown words, phrases or grammatical constructions that are unfamiliar to you. Once you finish this read, translate all the unfamiliar words and phrases and write them down in a notebook or on flashcards to help you remember them later. Use the translations to read the story one final time. This allows you to understand the text fully and have quick access to the translations and explanations. 5 minute Italian short stories for beginners This book includes 25 short stories which cover everyday topics. The best part is that the stories are broken into sections, and each section is followed by a word list of key translations.
