Customer Reviews
Interesting and fun short stories!
Thanks Babbel for producing these short stories that keep me motivated to continue learning German.
Way too political. I thought we were learning German
These are great for learning German, but way too political. I don’t want to listen to far right wing or far left wing content…just want to learn German with my kids.
Had Us in the First Half
Started off strong and then went the way of many publications in 2021, punching the hot ticket politicized inclusion buttons.
My main issue is with how out of place it feels with trying to learn a new language. Maybe if Babbel had released more episodes it could have been fit in, but as is it feels a little forced. Especially compared to the other podcasts that offer cultural insight along with Deutsch Sprache lernen.
