This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Maybe you want to speak German with your family from Germany? Our podcast will give you the cultura…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T04:17:52.818755+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313"},"episode":{"title":"A Botanist's Journey: Balancing Passion and Wellness","slug":"a-botanist-s-journey-balancing-passion-and-wellness","published_at":"2026-07-10T07:51:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313/a-botanist-s-journey-balancing-passion-and-wellness","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-07-10-07-38-19-de","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72909732/2026_07_10_07_38_19_de_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - German : A Botanist's Journey: Balancing Passion and Wellness Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-07-10-07-38-19-de Story Transcript: De: Der Sommermorgen war warm und duftend im Blumengarten.
