German Stories is the first podcast that combines all of these 3 features:
  • Firstly, we pick you up at your level, starting from zero.
  • Secondly, we lead you to your goal in small steps. There is a constant, low amount of new words, and only a small piece of grammar in each lesson. This way, you don't get overwhelmed.
  • Thirdly, we teach you with a full-blown, continuous story. It's a modern audio drama, played by over 30 professional voice actors, designed to always make you want to know what happens next episode!

But we're not just a podcast, we're an online learning platform. Check us out for FREE at german-stories.com
