Über diesen Podcast
Learn German with real news, every morning. Daily episodes in
slow, clear German at A2, with a free full transcript and English
translation for every line.
Read today's transcript:
https://linguawire.com/learn/german
WHAT YOU GET
A new episode every morning. Two real stories from the day's
news, in everyday German at a pace you can follow.
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, which is the fastest
route from textbook German to German you actually meet.
WHO A2 IS FOR
You know the basics and you want to stop translating in your
head. This is slow German listening practice built on real news
rather than scripted conversation. If it feels fast, the same
stories run at A1 the same morning. If it feels easy, go to B1+.
NOT SURE THIS IS YOUR LEVEL?
About twenty short questions place you on the CEFR scale and show
you what to work on next:
