When you’re out to learn German… you want to get straight the point.
You want to jump directly into the lesson from day one.

Why wait? Now, you don’t have to.

These past few months, we’ve been busy redesigning the website and new lesson pages are coming June 12th! And you get straight to the point – you want to learn German with the effective GermanPod101 lessons you’ve come to love. With the new design, you jump right into our fun and effective audio and video lesson library and tools.

…to the new layout. Since our fun, fast, and easy German lessons take up most of the site (you do get over 700+ Audio and Video lessons) this is our BIGGEST upgrade thus far.

Here’s What’s New!

(Sample screenshot taken from ArabicPod101.com)

Your German Audio and Video Lessons now take center stage!
The Audio or Video Lesson is the first thing you’ll see when you open a lesson. Want to download the audio and lesson notes? All convenient quick-links are just below the player.

And Access Them On Any Device. Pick a device, any device. The new lesson layout loads beautifully on all screens, so you’ll love learning whether it be at home or on the go!

But that’s not even the half of it! We’ll be unveiling the new lesson page design on GermanPod101 on June 12th, 2013.

Until then you’ll just have to wait and see!
