Better German Podcast with Susi

Susanne Schilk-Blümel
The Better German Podcast helps you understand German in a clear, simple and practical way. I’m Susi Blümel, your teacher from Vienna, and in each episode I guide you through everyday German, useful vocabulary, culture, learning tips and more.
Some episodes teach you the language directly; others help you understand how German really works.

You can listen to any episode on its own, but you’ll get the most benefit if you start with Episode 1 — the podcast follows a gentle step-by-step progression.
This episode makes German verbs that change their form (irregular verbs / starke Verben) super easy.

There is a free PDF to follow along (and practice further). 📥 Download Part 2 of the FREE German Verbs Guide: https://bettergerman.info/verbs2 

Susi shows that German grammar doesn’t have to be complicated and teaches a simple, structured method for learning verbs like fahren (to drive) and sprechen (to speak). By focusing on groups and easy vowel changes (like “a → ä” or “e → i”), you’ll learn faster and speak German more fluently.
