I generally never write reviews. I’m the student sitting in the back of the room taking everything in but hoping to remain unnoticed. My German learning voyage stated Feb 2023 with the ubiquitous Duolingo. I have been learning but not without having to leave the platform frequently to consult “Professor Google” to get an understanding of “why this word order” “why leben and not wohnen” “where did that pronoun ending come from”…and countless other issues. I have gotten to dative case and past tense and was suddenly spending more time on Google and less in Duolingo. Plus developing an ear to understand conversational German is very difficult with Duolingo.
I have just now found this stories-learning platform and have started the free trial period. WOW! What a relief to find such a well thought out and intelligent approach. No more need for “Professor Google”. I thank Christian and the entire team and plan to buy a membership.

As a beginner, I was looking for a way to improve my german comprehension by listening to stories. However, I usually don’t know enough to comprehend them. Then I found German-stories.com. It’s a feel-good site with a very amusing story that is delivered in short podcasts. After each segment, there’s a line-by-line translation. So you get the story, new vocab and insights, along with excellent practice. The website also has great supporting materials if you join. Very glad I found it!

I recently discovered this German Language Learning Podcast and I’m absolutely loving it! The podcast uses short stories to teach the language, which makes learning so much more fun and engaging. The stories are interesting and creative, with characters that are easy to relate to. The instructor does a great job of breaking down the grammar and vocab in an easy to understand way. Plus, the audio quality is excellent, making it a great way to immerse yourself in the language. I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is looking to learn German or brush up on their existing skills.

It’s a great product and I have been using it for the last handful of days. I fully intend to climb the charts now that I am in the program! Prior to this I had already listened to the first 25 episodes on Apple Podcasts. I finally decided to invest in the full features. By the way this is the only program I have ever paid for other than a couple of books with short stories to read out loud.

I had been using Duolingo for a few months, but I wasn’t progressing as much as I would like. My listening skills were very poor. I looked for something I could listen to while I am at work and that’s how I found your podcast. It was just what I needed. Spoken clearly enough for me to be able to get my head around it, and with the grammar explainer it is just great! I decided to try out the website too, and that really brings it all together.

After trying a few different apps and some “self learning” suggestions, I found German Stories. After a few months working with Chris and reading his story, I can definitely understand more German than when I started. I can also speak more, but still mess up a lot, but Chris is very encouraging and patient. The story is set-up to introduce a few new words and with enough twists and turns to keep you wondering where it will end. I look forward to seeing where Paul ends up.

I learned some English and Japanese with the help of lots of materials. So far, I think if one can stick to comprehensible materials, such as stories with good sound, acquiring a language is a matter of time.
I found German Stories has not only got these elements but also prepared way more. I was amazed by the carefully designed lessons, Podcasts, website, etc. I have been learning here for a few weeks and thoroughly love it. Everyone can benefit from here for their language-studying journey.

The story-based context has always intrigued and motivated me in learning languages. Each lesson is right in length for studying in just one sitting and comes with exercises, definitely a big plus. What surprises and excites me most is that each episode offers useful extra tips for pronunciations (like ä, ö, ü), usages of words and so on. It makes me feel I am getting closer to the authentic German. Also, I listen to the Podcast as my bedtime story. I’ll keep learning with German Stories.

I have really enjoyed learning German with German Stories – and I’ve found it so much easier to learn this way than other means I’ve tried in the past. The story is very enjoyable and the vocabulary and grammar are introduced slowly and naturally, in a way that is clearly explained and so easy to follow. I always look forward to the next podcast coming out!

At first I was hesitant to subscribe to the German Stories podcast but then I became hooked on the story (not to mention the leitmotif music that separates each section of the podcast). Now I can hardly wait for the next installment of the story. Grammar exercises and explanations are helpful and do encourage me onwards in my study of the German language. Danke Christian.

My son likes Mr. Chris very much. I also think the content of the course is very good. There are audios that can be listened to repeatedly. Grammar, vocabulary and exercises are rich and professional. Although my son started to learn German from the first grade of elementary school, he has been learning with the teacher, and he should be able to enter a German university when he is 19 years old.
