074 - Learn to Speak German - The End
This is the last session of German-Podcast.de. I just don't have the time for all my interests and need to cut back on some of them and as there is already such a large amount of material available for you to pratice your German . . . well, I will not continue with the podcast.

thats really sad. I just discovered it and I'm moving through the material nicely.
thanks again
Thanks Stephan.
All the best for the future
Hi Stephen,
It's sad to hear that you are no longer continuing with the podcast. Over the last year I have managed to get through over half of the podcasts. (I'm on number 39 now.) The good news is that I now know I will be able to catch up!
Good luck with your other activities and thanks for the time you spent helping complete strangers. We appreciate it.

That's a shame, Stephan. Your podcast was very unique and different - I've not found any other resource of bite sized German lessons which help to build vocabulary in such a useful way. All good things come to an end, eh?
That said, best of luck in the future and hopefully you'll return to this sometime in the future.
All the best

I too have just discovered this and find it very useful. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Stephan, I totally understand - If you enjoy as many activities as you do PLUS work full-time, there is just no extra time left. But we appreciate the time you have already put into helping people like us. Like Vince said, now I might be able to catch up! And who knows, maybe we'll see you out in the mountains of Switzerland, climbing, skiing, or whatever... Thanks again! VIELEN Dank!
Thank you for all of your time and work in doing this. I wish all the best for you in what ever your future holds.

P.S.: Hier schneit es gerade wie in Sibirien...
thank you so much for your time and energy in doing the podcast for as long as you did, stephan, i am about 1/4 of the way through, and have already improved a great deal. best of luck with everything, and give a shout if you're ever in nyc!
Stephan. Thank you so much for your efforts here. I am sure I will listen to these over and over again. You have indeed provided a wonderful service.
Good luck.

I literally just came across german-podcast.de this week and subscribed in ITunes. To my great disappointment the first automatic download was titled "The End". So here is my dilemma:
I just completed #5 in which Julia is running late and Hans is casually waiting for her at the bar in the airport. I'm just starting to get into the story, and I want to keep doing the next lesson to see what happens to Hans and Julia, but now that I know the podcast is coming to an end, I feel like I should slow down and enjoy the suspense. If I go too quickly, the story will end and then what will I do??
Sad to see the podcast ending, Stephan. I'm looking forward to going through all the lessons, and I'm sure I will be even more disappointed when I come to the end. Thanks for all the time you put into this site!

Stephan...I began listening just less than a year ago as I prepared to visit family in Bavaria with my three children. I had not studied German for almost 30 years but by using your podcasts, I was able to pick up basic German very quickly. I had the best time of my life with my children (ages 20-26) as they discovered their German roots. Thank you for your part in making that trip a most memorable one. I will miss your podcasts and wish you the very best in life. You always have a place to stay in Austin Texas!

Tchusse!

Vielen Dank for all your efforts Stephan! Your podcasts made me really interested in Switzerland since 1.5 years ago and in fact now I am studying in St. Gallen for a semester. Best wishes and thank you for all your efforts.
Hi stephan,
I always enjoyed your podcast. It became clear that you were too busy in recent months. Thats sad for us, but I hope exciting for you.
I hope you won't be offended if I recommend another excellent independent "learn german" podcast for fellow subscribers. I'ts called "Slow German" by Annik Rubens.
Cheers and best wishes
Timbo
Thank you. I have very much enjoyed your podcasts.
Thank you very much for all your efforts.
Dear Stephan
Thank you so much for what you have done. I have enjoyed listening, and have many, many more podcasts still to listen to. There might be no new ones, but I'll still be listening to you.
Peter
great photos as well !

I've just started learning German, and have found these podcasts very interesting and useful. Thanks for all the effort you put in. And yes, the photos are beautiful :)

Stephan,
Thanks for all the effort on the Podcast. It was always a pleasure to listen to.
Hello, I just started using your podcasts - they're great! Thankyou so much for all your work, and best of luck for your future :) Teresa
Stephan, ich höre dein podcast jeden morgen (unterwegs zur Arbeit) und wie du siehst, ich lerne Deutsch jetzt. Ich wohne in CH und finde jede kapitel sehr entspannend. Ich hoffe alles hören und meine "Vocabularies" hahaha, odern meine Vokabeln verbessern. Ich hoffe du wieder kommst und neue Erlebniss uns zu bringen mit deinen genialen Deutsch kurs. Vielen Dank und machs´gut Stephan. LG.
thank you for taking the time to give lessons german language. I have now advanced to the German language because of your guidance
I just bought the book "Learn German with a Story: Welcome to Switzerland". I found many quotation marks look weird, like these:
Peter shakes his head.
„Where is your luggage?”
„Lost, they will send it after me.“
Are those typos or the way how quotation mark works in German?
Yes, indeed. We use those quotation marks. No idea why they look different in other countries (France too)
Stephan
Thanks Stephan. I think this has been one of the language learning podcasts I have enjoyed the most. Your sharp humour, gentle irony, etc., was a constant... I look forward to catching-up and chatting some day. Take care,

I very much look forward to continue! Your podcast has helped me with the German!
Thank you.
Hi Stephan,
Just wanted to say thanks for putting in the effort to do all this, I can totally understand that it must take up a lot of your time. 74 podcasts is a real achievement mate, and I really enjoy your podcasts even though I doubted if I'd be able to learn much from them at first. Best of luck in the future!
I just discovered your blog/podcast! I must say this stuff is authentic. Its great to listen to a German speaker speak German. It beats all the other podcasts I have found!
I am on lesson 10 now, so please dont delete until I get through it.

I have just find this podcast. I'm Brasilian and I'll be learning with your 74 episodes for my trip to German next january. Cheers!
Like Andreia, I have just started listening to your podcast and am really enjoying it.
Thanks for all your hard work, and best of luck for the future.
Hello good day to you!
I’ve read your blog and find it very much interesting. Can you do me a favor? Can I ask you to post my link in your blogroll/sidebar? In return with that I’ll write an article for you which are related to your blog. In this way, we both can benefit since there would probably more visitors in your blog and mine as well. It would be my pleasure if you will accept my request. Thanks in advance!

hello Stephen
I dont know if you still check the blog or not? but thank you very much or "viele dank" for the podcast adn the time tha you put for it. the podcast is so fun and every time i listen to it i am having fun in the way that you speak english and making some jokes.i enjoy alot although in this summer i have been in Freiburg to study German while i have swiss-German boyfriend who lives in Basel. although i couldn`t improve my German in summer sinc everybody here speak English and because of it i got lazy to speak German and have to add that i am very slow language learner. but apperently i am stuck in German and germany while i got admited in one university in Hamburg. However, i am so confuse, i dont know what should i do to start speaking and thinking in German. English made me so lazy.
but with your podcast i could manage to learn some phrases and i am so greatful for it.
i wish you a very good luck in your future and hope see you one day in switzerladn and speak with a fluence german with you.
