64: Opa wollte weg aus der DDR | Grandpa wanted to leave the GDR

German Stories - Learn German with Stories

Explain economics and politics in very simple words & temporal prepositions: ab; von ... bis; zwischen.

Everyone thinks that the sticker on Fritz's garage door opener is in the shape of a lake. Therefore, Paul looks for it on the internet. But he cannot find such a lake in all of Germany. He thinks there is little hope because Fritz is certainly abroad. Laura writes: She saw Paul's Oktoberfest photos on Whatsapp and she also wants to go there with him. Grandpa talks about his time in the GDR. At first, Paul is fascinated by the GDR, but then he hears about the Stasi. He can barely prevent Grandpa from remembering the book. Will Grandpa remember asking him about the book, or is Paul lucky?

Learn German with Stories - the idea behind it

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!"
