Learn German | Deutsch lernen | ExpertlyGerman Podcast

Tom, a native Berliner, hosts ExpertlyGerman with the kind of relaxed confidence that comes from someone who genuinely enjoys teaching. The podcast covers a wide range of proficiency levels, from A2 vocabulary episodes to C1-level deep dives into idiomatic expressions and business German. A recent standout episode tackled eight everyday German phrases that no textbook will teach you, which is exactly the kind of practical content that keeps listeners coming back. With 268 episodes and a 4.7 rating from 94 Apple Podcasts reviews, the show has grown steadily since its 2020 launch. Episodes are released biweekly, and most run between 10 and 20 minutes. Tom's approach is direct and example-heavy. He introduces a concept, gives multiple real-world sentences showing how it works, and moves on. There is no filler, no lengthy intros, and no music breaks that eat into learning time. Premium members get access to interactive quizzes, vocabulary exercises, and conversation clubs where they can practice speaking with other learners. The podcast works well as a complement to more immersive shows because it fills in the structural gaps. You might pick up natural speech patterns from Easy German, then come here to understand exactly why a particular grammar construction works the way it does.
