WHAT YOU GET

A new episode every morning. Two real stories from the day's news, at a steadier pace than native conversation, with the vocabulary the news actually uses.


Every episode has its own page with the full German transcript, the English translation beside it, the day's vocabulary, one grammar point and a short quiz. No account needed to read.


WHY NEWS WORKS BETTER THAN EXERCISES

You already know what happened today. That means your attention goes to the German instead of to the story. At this level that is what moves you from understanding lessons to understanding real reporting.


WHO B1+ IS FOR

You can hold a conversation and you want the vocabulary that real reporting uses. The pace here is still slower than everyday speech, so speed never gets in the way of the words. This is the level where most learners stall, and daily contact with real news is the thing that gets them through it.


NOT SURE THIS IS YOUR LEVEL?

About twenty short questions place you on the CEFR scale and show you what to work on next:
