German Podcast Walk 🚶 and Chat 💬 in Olympia Park🏞️ !!!

Details

All Language levels welcome. For 30 mins we walk listening to podcasts in German. Next 30 mins we converse(or do our best) in German.. and we repeat for 2 hours!

Explore amazing Munich Olympia Park + easy workout + make new friends + German immersion!!!
We end our journey at the viewing point watching sunset 🌄❤️️ !

Listening to podcast may also mean "Engage, pause, think and answer out loud" ~Mihalis. So feel free to repeat or rehearse what we hear by speaking to ourselves during the listening session.

We may use google translate on phone if we run out of words while speaking. We could then use the history to rehearse and come back stronger next time around.

Do you have any other podcast/German-audio you like to listen to? Please comment. We all could perhaps listen to a single podcast and talk about it during converse time. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

We will be tagging individuals based on their German language proficiency so you could converse accordingly if you choose to. And listening to German audio is mandatory ​😏 also is speaking in German.

We walk for 2 hours continuously through paved path (mostly). If it snows or rains stone paved path will be slippery and we walk outside off it which could be muddy(bring appropriate shoes). It is a bit hilly and it can be cold and windy. You may bring walking sticks if you like (might be difficult to use google translate on phone then).

About the benefits of listening to podcast even for beginners:
"Number 1: Listen a lot! I call it Brain soaking. You put yourself in a context where you're hearing tons and tons and tons of the language and it doesn't matter if you understand it or not. You're listening to the rhythm, you're listening to patterns that repeat, you're listening to things that stand out. Just soak your brain in this!"
From famous TED Talk by a professor: "How to learn any language in six months"
