The texts therefore include a great deal of regional cultural information such as maps and explanations of local customs. At the end of each story there are exercises for reading and listening comprehension, relating to each chapter and hte story as a whole. The first four readers are on level 2 of the Common European Framework but the series will be expanded to cover more levels of language - and regions of Germany.
