Welcome to Ask Angelika! Together with my partner Steven Healey I will be live on air for about 15 - 30 minutes every second Friday to talk about practical vocabulary for a variety of topics (current season 5). Season 4 covered German idioms and tongue twisters! Season 3 was about interesting places in Germany and season 2 was about interesting places in Wiltshire, UK. (Season 1 is only on YouTube). Listen to Steven read the sentences and learn some German at the same time.
