<h4>Our characters DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?</h4>
They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls. If you want know why we spent over 1 1/2 years of work before we even published our first lesson, go to https://www.german-stories.com/the-best-way-to-learn-german

It's not difficult to create a learning story and jump to complicated grammatical structures early on, just so the author doesn't have a hard time writing. But it's very difficult to fit your writing into a well structured teaching plan, so that the student doesn't have too much trouble learning German.
We did it the hard way. Hard for us, easy for you: Luckily there's only a little bit of grammar per episode for you to learn. If you're curious about our motivations behind putting in so much effort, go to https://www.german-stories.com/the-best-way-to-learn-german

13: Paul schreibt mit Laura | Paul writes with Laura

Learn German with Stories at https://www.german-stories.com

But his parents are right: he has no girlfriend. Paul is looking for a date and checks ‚Finder‘ profiles. Which girl does Paul like? Will she show interest?

Why we made German Stories
We felt that the best way to learn German is NOT using the old style teaching material with chapters full of tiny texts and unrelated stories. Our idea was to spoon-feed you German in very small bits. And to tell you parts of one big story at the same time. An awesome, full-blown story with different storylines that continues throughout all lessons. We wanted to keep you motivated and say "I can't wait to find out what happens next episode!"
