About this listen
Real German people don’t speak like your textbook…so it’s no wonder you feel unprepared when it’s your turn to speak! Try the StoryLearning method, and dive into a real-world, gripping drama between six characters that helps you learn authentic spoken German in the process.
Created by Olly Richards, internationally-renowned language teacher and author, this proven method of the immersive experience not only entertains, it gives you the skills to master realistic encounters in shops, cafés, and other, everyday scenarios!
In this story, two friends, Silke and Julia, arrive in Berlin for what they think will be a relaxing vacation exploring the city. Things, however, take an unexpected turn when they discover some very valuable paintings in one of Berlin’ antique markets.... Whether you’re learning the German, of Germany, Austria, Switzerland or even your local German-speaking community, you’ll learn to speak naturally wherever you go.
Best of all, you’ll be able to handle new scenarios with both ease and confidence!
“I love Olly’s work - and you will too!” (Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times best seller A Mind for Numbers)
Here’s what you’ll get:
A. 101 German conversations with over 15,000 words of dialogue—an unparalleled resource that will immerse you in German at a level you can easily understand and reproduce.
B. Expressions that real people use on the street. You’ll sound more authentic when you speak and make German-speaking friends more easily.
C. Situational German dialogues that help you thrive in typical daily circumstances, so meeting people and making everyday arrangements will become second nature.
D. Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for beginners (A2-B1 on the CEFR), so you can speak confidently, even with strangers.
E. Each conversation is limited to around 15 lines of dialogue (150 words) to help you master the expressions more quickly, and keep you moving toward the finish line.

Following the events of Schlamassel in Stuttgart, Dino travels to Liechtenstein to join a coveted workshop, when a global pandemic shutters all entries and exits to the Alpine monarchy. Stranded in an old castle not far from the capital, he is left to his own devices, grappling with the double whammy of isolation and monotony. Under the tutelage of an eccentric company, he’s initiated into the subtle arts of alpine cooking, motorcycle maintenance, and other coping strategies for uncertain times. But not everyone shares his enthusiasm.

Er stürzt von einem Abenteuer in die nächste ungeheuerliche Geschichte, muss gegen Bestien, Mitschüler und Fabelwesen kämpfen.

What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the German language? You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy. In fact, the toughest part of learning German is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Lack of speakers
it's so annoying to listening to just one male speaker covering up all the character as female, male, young and old. it's hard for brain to coordinate the listening plot with story.it hears like only one person it making up all conversation, it makes it hard to follow through.
