Personal experiences of our interlinear books
"This book came this morning and after starting with the first story I am having trouble putting it down (...)" *****
"I so much love this book.
" *****
"I am very glad that I found those interlinear books. I bought seven of them, and have just finished reading the Spanish Beginner Stories. It is like going back to my childhood days, and I enjoyed reading it tremendously (...)" *****
"The reading material is appropriate for beginners of Spanish learners. The quality of its audio MP3 is quite wonderful: clear and its speed is neither quick nor slow. I strongly recommended this product." *****
"Wow! I can't believe I have never heard of interlinear before. Finally a word for word translation so I can understand the way Spanish is structured instead of getting an anglicized translation. (...)" *****
"Great! Very easy read with every word translated underneath, helps learning to read French, and helps train French vocabulary. The stories go from short to long which suits beginners." *****
"Five Stars. This is a great format for the adult or late teen learner. Really enjoyed!" *****
"Interlinear technique is a great method to learning. I use many methods and am constantly developing and upgrading my methods as I learn more but this method i’ve been able to incorporate with the others well now that i’m more aware of how it’s used and how it can be used in other contexts and variations." *****
"Easy but entertaining stories. The stories are very entertaining. The first "three bears“ story is similar to the one in Spanish. So it is fun to read the same story in Spanish as well as in French. A lot of repetition has been built in, so the stories are easy to read. It is like going back to my childhood!" *****
"Incredibly helpful resource for language learning. This book and others produced by this publisher allow rapid comprehension of foreign languages as you can readily understand how the other language ‘works’ (eg different word orders) and you easily pick up the vocabulary in the context of the stories, without having to look everything up. Most ‘translations’ into English mask how the foreign words and sentences are put together. For example, this book will show you that the French, when they have not eaten, will say that they ‘have hunger’, not that they ‘are’ hungry. An ordinary English translation would make you think that the French word for ‘have’ is the English word for ‘am’, which is confusing. Also, for example, the French word order for the English question ‘Where do you come from?’ is ‘you come from where?’ But for this book you might think the English word for ‘where’ is the French word for ‘you’. These are just some basic examples. Also you can purchase the audio as well, so you not only pick up the new language visually but know how it sounds. It’s a brilliant resource for language learning. You can understand written and spoken French just by reading with the audio. Makes it so much easier when it comes to speaking the language. Highly recommended" *****
"Great learning guide. Very good book, easy way to refresh my french." *****
"Great if you want to learn to read French as well as speak it. I took French in school as a teenager while living in France. I then returned to the US and the schools I then attended only offered Spanish or German. I took Spanish, but always wanted to return to French. I now consistently use the Duolingo app on my phone to re-teach myself French, but found I really enjoyed the stories this app had to offer in French as well. So, when I found these books, I was thrilled to be able to spend time learning to read French even better with them. It is so helpful to have the English translation right there as you are reading to check to see if you are really getting the meanings of the words." *****
"Une méthode d'apprentissage des langues merveilleuse! I thoroughly enjoy learning French and reading, so I have a rather large collection of French language books. I have a variety of formats, including classic French literature, French children's books, French cookbooks, French books with audio, parallel texts, and bilingual versions. Without question, the interlinear books offered by HypLern are a welcome addition to my collection of language learning materials. I have found that extensive reading, reading in context, spaced repetition, and comprehensible input has greatly improved my French language skills. The HypLern interlinear language books seamlessly cover all of these bases. I have purchased the paperback versions of the following HypLern books: Learn French with Beginner Stories, Learn French with Romantic Stories, Learn French with Masked Love by Balzac, Learn French with Fairytales, and Learn French with Short Stories. My preference is for the paperback/hard cover version of books. I usually read the books along with listening to the audio portion, since reading and listening at the same time is quite helpful when it comes to learning a language. Other times, I read the books without the audio portion, or simply listen to the audio only. I appreciate having various options. I wish more French language interlinear books were available. I will certainly purchase any others that become available through HypLern. I give HypLern interlinear French products my highest recommendation. Merci beaucoup !!!" *****
"Experience French culture. Go beyond simply studying random phrases composed by academics, and study the French of French writers. This book demonstrates the art and grammar of French language. These great French writers' work is translated literally word-by-word, and when idiomatic expressions are used, the translators give the meaning. Buy this book. Do it today! You will feel the power and grace of French culture." *****
"Every word is translated into English. Great price for great quality. I'm so pleased. Every word is translated which makes it easy for people still learning!" *****
"Interlinear German is fast, easy, and fun! This is a very interesting fairy table book. It has 6 short stories, including Cinderella and Thumb-thick. It can be used as an introduction to Grimm's Fairy Tales. The book is very easy to read. With every corresponding English word laid out underneath, I can understand everything written in German. This interlinear method is superior to parallel text, because I can easily focus on German. In the parallel text, it is always very attempting to read English only. I have tried a lot of method to study a foreign language. So far, this is the best method I can find." *****
"This is excellent for expat families, who speak primarily English: kids can read the meaning of each word underneath its german counterpart." *****
"Great study guide! Awesome book to practice and to read and understand German." *****
"Good technique to start. There are translations below each word so you can learn faster. The stories are fairy tales but mostly not super common ones." *****
"Great innovative design concept. I was not expecting how each line of text is interlaced with its English translation. It was a pleasant surprise with how effective it can be to learn Dutch. The stories also evoke that old Dutch seafaring era when Holland ruled an empire with its galleons sailing the high seas." *****
"This is a great way to practice Dutch. I have been looking for books like these and I'm glad I found them on Amazon." *****
"Great help for students of Dutch. I'm usually not much a fan of the "interlinear" translation form, however it's nicely done and isn't difficult to navigate through. I highly suggest to anyone who gets this to look for the free MP3s on the author's site. Very helpful! I wouldn't say that these are beginner stories, given the vocabulary involved in some of them however there's no better way to learn than by diving in." *****
"What a great way to learn Dutch. These are classic Dutch stories. What a great way to learn Dutch! It's not only a word-for-word translation, but more. And the apps that go along with the book is great. Download the free Kindle version of the book and you'll see the option for that. Good stuff." *****

"I've been struggling with trying to learn French for many years because of the usual excuses of time constraints, career and lack of motivation. I have, and I'm sure many other people have, dreams of having some sort of app or software that offers instant lookup and audio for the longest time. You have made our dreams come true with this software and app of yours. A very big thank you to you." *****
"Couldn't get more convenient than this!" *****
"I can pick up with my High School French and start reading a classic!" *****
"The pop up translation is so fast (...) unknown words don't break immersion." *****
"(...) I think you have a great product that is needed for those trying to improve their French." *****
"Tried to read a Spanish book after the course I bought but failed. Your product actually helps me to start reading Spanish!" *****
"The combination of reading those Dutch stories (...) and practicing my new found words is ideal for me (...)" *****
