Auf Deutsch gesagt!

Robin Meinert takes an interview-driven approach to German language learning that feels refreshingly different from the typical lesson-based format. Each episode of Auf Deutsch gesagt! features a long-form conversation with a native German speaker on topics spanning culture, education, career paths, and personal stories. After the interview, Robin breaks down the key vocabulary, grammar patterns, and idioms that came up during the discussion. This two-part structure means you get genuine listening practice followed by targeted instruction, which is much closer to how language acquisition actually works. The podcast sits at a B2 to C1 level and has built up 164 episodes since its launch, earning a 4.8 rating from over 100 Apple Podcasts reviews. Robin speaks clearly without dumbing things down, and his guests bring a range of accents and speaking styles that prepare you for real-world German beyond the classroom. Supplementary handouts accompany each episode for listeners who want to reinforce what they heard. The biweekly release schedule keeps the backlog from growing unmanageable, and the interview format means no two episodes sound the same. For learners who have plateaued at the intermediate stage and need exposure to authentic, extended German discourse, this show delivers consistently.
