Radio D is a stand-alone language course which can be used either in conjunction with a teacher or without.
The audio language course Radio D comprises two series, each with 26 episodes. An English-speaking presenter takes the listener through the programme and, along with a guest, discusses structures and expressions used in the German language. Geographical, historical and institutional aspects are also included.

Each episode comprises:

Incidentally I started the Radio D course yesterday evening. I did only the first episode. As first impression it is a modernized version of Warum Nicht. It is a bit faster paced and provides a whole amount of context using sounds (try to believe). Because of this thing, listening in the car in the snelweg would not be the best option. With the earphones in my own bed though, I found it very enjoyable. So I am going to give it a serious try.
