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.

🎙️Better German Podcast – Episode 58
German Adjectives Made Simple with Practical Examples
In this episode, you learn how German adjectives change when they come before nouns — in a clear, beginner-friendly way. You’ll practice adjectives like big, beautiful, old, and small and see how they behave with the articles - “the” (der / die / das) and “a” (ein / eine).
In this episode, you’ll practice clear, practical examples so you can finally understand the pattern instead of memorizing tables. If adjective endings have ever felt confusing, this episode shows you that they’re actually very logical — and learnable.
