Uplevel Your German - dein Podcast zum Deutschlernen

Deutsch.CharLingua•www.charlingua.de

Hallo und willkommen bei Uplevel Your German – deinem CharLingua Podcast, wenn du Deutsch nicht nur verstehen, sondern dich beim Sprechen im Alltag sicherer fühlen willst.

Ich bin Charlotte, zertifizierte Deutschlehrerin, und ich unterrichte Deutsch mit viel Freude und Enthusiasmus. Ich begleite dich dabei, im Alltag und im Job selbstbewusster zu kommunizieren: mit klaren Erklärungen, typischen Redemitteln und vielen Beispielen, die du direkt übernehmen kannst.

Die meisten Folgen sind so erklärt, dass du abA2/B1 leicht folgen kannst. Und wenn du schon weiter bist: Du nimmst trotzdem viel mit – neue Ausdrücke, kleine Stolperfallen und Formulierungen, die richtig „deutsch“ klingen.
