À propos du podcast
Apprenez l'allemand avec de vraies actualités, chaque matin. Épisodes quotidiens en allemand clair, de niveau B1 et plus, prononcés plus lentement que dans la conversation courante, avec une transcription intégrale gratuite et une traduction anglaise pour chaque ligne.

WHAT YOU GET
Un nouvel épisode chaque matin. Deux histoires réelles tirées de l'actualité du jour, à un rythme plus posé qu'une conversation entre natifs, avec le vocabulaire que l'actualité utilise réellement.
Chaque épisode dispose de sa propre page avec la transcription allemande complète, la traduction anglaise en regard, le vocabulaire du jour, un point de grammaire et un court quiz. Aucun compte n'est nécessaire pour lire.
POURQUOI LES ACTUALITÉS VALENT MIEUX QUE LES EXERCICES
Tu sais déjà ce qui s'est passé aujourd'hui. Ton attention va donc à l'allemand plutôt qu'à l'histoire. À ce niveau, c'est ce qui te fait passer de la compréhension de leçons à la compréhension de vrais reportages.
WHO B1+ IS FOR
Vous pouvez tenir une conversation et vous voulez le vocabulaire qu'utilise le journalisme réel. Le rythme reste ici plus lent que la parole courante, si bien que la vitesse ne gêne jamais la compréhension des mots. C'est le niveau où la plupart des apprenants stagnent, et le contact quotidien avec de véritables informations est ce qui leur permet de le dépasser.
NOT SURE THIS IS YOUR LEVEL?
Une vingtaine de courtes questions vous situent sur l'échelle du CECR et vous indiquent sur quoi travailler ensuite :
https://linguawire.com/assessment
Un podcast allemand de niveau intermédiaire pour les personnes qui savent déjà lire un titre et qui veulent l'entendre.
