From my own experience as a language learner and German teacher, I can say that stories that challenge the visual imagination with a certain amount of silliness and absurdity can achieve a lasting learning effect, particularly in terms of acquiring new vocabulary. It is important for beginners to read stories that go beyond the usual boring "Excuse me, where's the train station?" One of the most effective memorization strategies is to relate new information to something that you already know while adding a weird twist to it. This way we are learning new words that have the potential to stick with us for a lifetime.
