You know the feeling when you finally fully understand a word or phrase of a song, movie, or TV episode in the language your studying? Isn't that feeling of accomplishment the best?
Media as a great tool to use for not just language learning, but also for maintaining the motivation to keep going when it gets hard! Finding media that you're actually interested in however, can be difficult...
Throughout my language learning journey with German, I've tried searching for German movies, music, Youtubers, and so on. However, I have never had much luck finding great results.
If you're like me and have been trying to find ways to motivate and immerse yourself daily in German through media, then this blog series, covering German movies, TV shows, music, books, and Youtubers, is for you!
In this post, we're covering a variety of German TV Shows on Netflix.
I recommend watching these shows with German subtitles instead of English subtitles. This helps to not only hear how the words sounds, but also visualize how the words are spelled.
If you enjoyed Downtown Abbey or Bridgerton, you'll enjoy The Empress. This show follows the dramatic and messy love story between Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary and Elisabeth von Wittelsbach, Princess of Bavaria.
