FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Skazoria?
Skazoria is a collection of short children’s stories and fairy tales that can be read directly in the app. The stories are written in a simple style and are suitable for children.
Are the stories original texts or newly written?
The stories in Skazoria are mostly based on classic original works and traditional tales. However, the language is modernized to make the stories easy to understand and enjoyable to read today. Outdated words and complicated expressions are adapted where necessary. Descriptions of violence or particularly harsh situations may be softened, rephrased or removed depending on the story. At the same time, we try to preserve the original plot, characters and course of the story as closely as possible.
Is Skazoria only for children and parents?
No. Skazoria is for anyone who enjoys reading stories. The stories are written in clear, accessible language and are available in multiple languages. This also makes the app useful for language learning. Skazoria can be especially interesting for multilingual families, as many stories are available in German, English and Russian and can be read together in different languages.
