The Lernen to Talk Show is a weekly chronicle of my quest to learn German in one year. It was produced between Summer ’11 and Summer ’12. My hope is to show honestly what it looks like week by week to learn a language over the course of one year. I subtitle the conversations in English, that way people who don’t speak German can follow along and see the mistakes I make. The goal is to prove to people that learning a language is something you can do if you want to do it. And not only is it possible, it’s also super fun!

For newcomers, I’d recommend Episode 3, Episode 18, Episode 22, Episode 27, Episode 29, and Episode 46. Those are my personal favorites.
