WHAT YOU GET
A new episode every morning. Two real stories from the day's
news, at a steadier pace than native conversation, with the
vocabulary the news actually uses.
Every episode has its own page with the full German transcript,
the English translation beside it, the day's vocabulary, one
grammar point and a short quiz. No account needed to read.
WHY NEWS WORKS BETTER THAN EXERCISES
You already know what happened today. That means your attention
goes to the German instead of to the story. At this level that is
what moves you from understanding lessons to understanding real
reporting.
WHO B1+ IS FOR
You can hold a conversation and you want the vocabulary that real
reporting uses. The pace here is still slower than everyday
speech, so speed never gets in the way of the words. This is the
level where most learners stall, and daily contact with real news
is the thing that gets them through it.
NOT SURE THIS IS YOUR LEVEL?
About twenty short questions place you on the CEFR scale and show
you what to work on next:

An intermediate German podcast for people who can already read a
headline and want to hear one.
