Let's Talk German With Eden 🇩🇪

🎙️ Let’s Talk German is the podcast for expats in Germany who understand a lot of German — but still feel stuck when it’s time to actually speak.
If you’ve ever frozen mid-sentence, nodded politely even when you had something to say, or felt “less than” just because your German isn’t perfect — you’re not alone. This space is for you. 🚀

Hey, I’m Eden — your host.
I moved from the Philippines to Germany for love (yep, that kind of story 😅), and what started as a challenge to learn German became a full-blown transformation. I went from Level Zero to C2, became a German Integration Teacher and Certified Language Assessor — and now I help other expats find their voice in German.

Because here’s the truth:
You deserve to be heard — in any language.
You deserve to express your ideas, show your strengths, and stop feeling like a second-class version of yourself just because German isn’t your first language.

This podcast is all about:
🚀 Ditching the fear and finally speaking up
🎯 Learning how to really connect in German — not just translate in your head
✨ Understanding how language + culture work together
💬 Moving from passive understanding to confident conversations

I’ll share speaking tips, mindset shifts, cultural insights, and stories from my own journey — the wins and the wobbles — so you can build real fluency with less pressure and more power.

🎙️ Let’s Talk German with Eden is your high-vibe, no-shame space to grow your voice, boost your confidence, and finally feel at home in your German-speaking life. Because If I could do it — so can you.

Let’s go. 🚀✨

Episode 4: “15 Years, 15 Lessons: What Learning German Taught Me” 😎

July 20, 2025 • Eden Nares • Episode 4

Fifteen years. 🇩🇪

That’s how long I’ve been living in Germany — and wow, what a journey it’s been. 😊 From arriving with zero German and a heart full of hope, to now being a fluent speaker, Integration Teacher, and Language Assessor, this episode is my love letter to the growth, struggles, and surprises of the past decade and a half.

In this episode, I’m sharing 15 real, raw, and game-changing lessons that I’ve learned while building a life here in Germany — both as a language learner and as a woman finding her place in a new world.

What helped me finally start speaking
Why friendships don’t start with grammar — they start with courage
What makes German speakers open up
Why perfection is the enemy of progress
And how every single word you speak is a key to transformation

This isn’t just a list — it’s a look inside the emotional rollercoaster of expat life, and what it really takes to go from “silent and scared” to “fluent and fearless.”

Whether you’re just starting your German journey, or you’ve been here for a while but still feel stuck in silence — this one’s for you.

👉 And if you’re ready to take action, I’ll also tell you about my brand new 15-Day Speaking Challenge 🎉 — designed to get you finally using your German out loud, every day, in a way that feels simple, practical, and even a little fun.

Let’s celebrate 15 years together — and help you start speaking the way you’ve always wanted to.

✨ Du schaffst das!😎
