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 Thrilling Time-Travel Adventure to Ancient Rome","slug":"a-thrilling-time-travel-adventure-to-ancient-rome","published_at":"2026-06-15T22:46:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313/a-thrilling-time-travel-adventure-to-ancient-rome","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-06-15-22-34-02-de","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72541629/2026_06_15_22_34_02_de_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - German : A Thrilling Time-Travel Adventure to Ancient Rome Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-06-15-22-34-02-de Story Transcript: De: Ansel stand in seiner kleinen Bibliothek.
