What it actually is

Mark Weber's channel applies the comprehensible-input philosophy to German — extended natural speech on everyday topics, pitched just above your comfort level, with no translation crutch. Good for learners who've done the grammar and now need volume of listening. Free; the upload pace has slowed considerably, so treat it as a strong archive rather than a weekly show.
