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.
Description
Why do so many people study German for years and still feel stuck? In this episode, Susi looks at one surprising problem with how many German courses are structured. You’ll hear why the starting point matters much more than most learners realize—and how approaching German differently can change the entire learning experience.
