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.
