What did we cover in German in 2021?
Really a lot!
From the podcast episodes to blog posts, and in each week of the Weekly German Practice, we covered a huge amount of material this year!
It's good to take a step back from time to time and to 'zoom out' so you can see the big picture.
Once you do that, you'll see exactly how much progress you've made this year, and I hope this episode is helpful.
PLUS you'll hear a run-down of all the countries that listeners to this podcast live in.
It's quite a lot of countries!
You can follow along with the country names, as they're all in German, and perhaps even learn a few new ones!

Learning to say thank you and you're welcome in German is really important, as it's part of good manners in German culture and it's also really easy to learn.
Danke. = Thank you.
Bitte. = You're welcome.
But do you hesitate to say them?
I used to hesitate, too, until I attended a soccer game (Schalke 04 - Glück auf!) and the crowd taught me the importance of "Danke" and "Bitte."
Ein Fußballspiel, eine Bratwurst, danke und bitte.
Los geht's!
