Berlin, Baby! – Learn German from Zero
By Brighton
Categories: Education, Language Learning
Learn German from zero with Sam. Berlin, Baby! is a story-based German course for English speakers, from A1 all the way to C1. Sam Taylor, a software developer from Lusaka, Zambia, has just landed in Berlin with a new job and almost no German. You follow his new life chapter by chapter, explained in English and German. Every new word comes slowly, then at normal speed, then it's your turn: shadow out loud in the gaps and practise speaking with short drills and role plays. Seven short episodes per chapter, one a day. All you need is your ears and your voice. Voices created with ElevenLabs AI.
