    <description>Learn a Language...Or Maybe Three!
The Fluent Show is on a mission to help you get excited about language learning. We learn languages every day in our lives, and have learnt over 15 different languages between us.
We share stories, news, tips, and ideas that will make you fluent...eventually. Subscribe to the show today to get your regular dose of Fluent love.
It is worth clarifying that we actively want to support anti-racism and will highlight and advocate for the equality of all. Language learning means committing to tolerance of other world views, and this open mind is a core value for me. This topic deserves well considered words so here are the best Kerstin managed to put together. (https://www.fluent.show/blacklivesmatter)

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week on the podcast, I am joined by Olly Richards from I Will Teach You A Language. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We present to you a project that we have been working on together for a while: German Uncovered, a course for beginners who want to become fluent in German. I've been working on this for a few months, and we are slowly getting ready for launch. Exciting times!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The special thing about German Uncovered is that it is &lt;strong&gt;entirely story-based&lt;/strong&gt;, meaning you will not just learn the language step by step, but you'll also have read a whole book by the end. Listen in to find out how this works! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're interested in what drives course creators to come up with innovative ideas, and how a language course comes into being, this show will give you great behind the scenes insights.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.german2019.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;German Uncovered is coming - sign up here to get a notification of our launch!&lt;/a&gt; Special Guest: Olly Richards.&lt;/p&gt;
