Criminal- Netflix Series

Binge-watching German series is actually educational! Listening to people speaking in German in real-life contexts is crucial to develop your listening skills, so why not watch a series of German origin, such as Criminal, a series of stand-alone episodes in which each one consists of a gripping-police investigation to solve a crime. Watching Criminal in its original language can be challenging even for advanced learners, but try not to use the dubbed version of the series. Instead, turn on the English subtitles and start training your ear. Learn more about Criminal here!

Du Hast - Rammstein

Learning German through music is a great way to acquire new vocabulary and structures in a meaningful way, while improving your listening comprehension skills. And what better way to do this than by using songs you’re already familiar with, such as Du Hast by Rammstein? This song has been used in many popular movies, such as The Matrix, so you’ll probably recognise it instantly. The song repeats the same phrase (Du Hast - You got me) with some variations to the lyrics throughout, so you’ll be quick to understand it after just a few listens, even if your level of German is basic!

Leider Geil - Deichkind

Those looking for German-language hip-hop to improve their skills while having a good time are in luck. Leider Geil is a humorous, satirical song that is very popular in the German-speaking world. The lyrics revolve around the concept of leider geil, an untranslatable term that means “unfortunately awesome”. For example, the song talks about very fast cars, which are great but at the same team pollute the environment. The song is fast-paced and includes a lot of conversational phrases and slang, so it’s more appropriate for intermediate to advanced-level learners! Click here and give the song a try.
