GERMAN

Dive into a dramatic tale of life’s twists and turns that will have you learn German from all angles.

Imperfect Strangers, Lingophil’s audio story for intermediate learners of German, follows the lives of a group of young people from different ends of the world whose paths cross during one fateful summer.

Struggling with bittersweet family relations and friendships, broken dreams, breakups, financial woes and much more, as they try to find the path to their place in the world.

Join our cast of colorful characters, voiced by professional voiceover artists.

Right from the start you’ll learn colloquial, everyday speech, you’ll need to understand the natives and navigate the real German spoken in the street. Meanwhile, you’ll be developing the foundation of your linguistic skills by acquiring new vocabulary, phrases, and learning how to construct native level sentences.

Once you’ve addressed the foundation of your language, the difficulty level will progressively increase with each Season, as the audio places more demands on your listening comprehension and vocabulary skills. Memorization is subtly and effectively enhanced by repeating common expressions and patterns multiple times throughout the story in various contexts.

With Lingophil you’ll be provided with more than an engaging story. Learning a foreign language to proficiency requires long term focus and dedication, so our Intensive Listening Comprehension Practice™ method is uniquely designed to help you stay focused and learn content thoroughly for maximum retention.

Lingophil will help you improve your comprehension of native level spoken German as well as your writing, command of grammar, syntax and your pronunciation.

FAQ

You can start with a later Season and use the short summaries on this page to keep up with the plot and the characters. Just keep in mind that the Seasons follow one continuous storyline and that annotations and exercises build on grammar concepts covered in earlier Seasons.

The difficulty level of Season 1 is roughly equivalent to the German level B1 of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Some of the content goes beyond that level because the audios contain colloquial and idiomatic expressions as well as some verb tenses generally not found in learning material for level B1. To fully benefit from this course, you should be at least lower intermediate level.
