That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in German, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between German and English. 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.
