Shall I Move to Germany to Learn German?...

Michael Schmitz
About this episode

In the second episode of our German Learning Lab podcast, Alessio and I are discussing whether it makes sense to move to Germany in order to learn German faster or whether it is wiser to get to a certain level of German before moving here. What is your experience? Did you move here unprepared or to what level did you get before moving to Germany or Switzerland or Austria? Share it with us in the comments.
