I’ve found these very useful too. Eine Möhre für Zwei, a Sesame Street spinoff is very sweet too.

I’ve listened to the Easy German podcast off and on and enjoy their discussions.

Listening to German news radio (NDR Info, RBB InfoRadio, etc.) in the background has also helped.

For structure in learning, I’ve found the roadmap guide in https://refold.la/roadmap very helpful.

• Cast iron = brilliant and last forever
• Stainless steel = brilliant and last for ages
• Carbon steel = brilliant and last for ages (but expensive)

Cooking on plastic doesn’t feel right. Even if it’s perfectly safe, I’m happy to stick with any of the above and not cause excess waste by having to throw out pans when they scratch.
