Learn to speak "cool" and more fluent German with the free Pukka German language podcast. We teach the social German that's spoken by real German natives.

Our goal: to make language learning fun and get you talking! We also provide online activities, transcripts and extras so visit our website at pukkagerman.com. The show focuses more on spoken German than grammar and is best suited for intermediate to more advanced learners (though beginners are also very welcome to tune in!). Pukka German will also be useful for Germans wanting to improve their English! Your hosts Tyler Duncan and Lisa Ernst are based in Freiburg, Germany.
