Having not had a television in my flat I have resorted to radio for the past 2 month. Despite alot of English and American songs being played it’s a great way to practice your hearing techniques. As a result of listening to copious amounts of radio here I am able to understand the Berliner accent somewhat better.

A problem with watching Television in Germany is that alot of the programmes are produced in foreign countries and are hence dubbed. I have been told that seeing an actors lips moving the wrong way for what he is saying can be detremental to your learning.

And by the way  Star 87.9 FM is the best radio station I have ever heard.

Here’s the new radio I bought in Saturn beside Deutsch Akadamie.
