A New Look at GermanPod101

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

Hello Listener,

(For maximum impact, read in Old Spice Guy’s voice)

Look at our homepage. Now back to us.
Now back to our homepage. Now back to us.

Look different? It should! With the help of our wonderful users, like you, we’ve listened to your feedback and came up with this. Designing the homepage has been like watching a baby grow.

Our iTunes logo has also changed. You can see it on our Facebook and Twitter accounts!

So when you download our free audio lessons on iTunes and see a new logo… do not be alarmed. It’s still GermanPod101.

The Old
Old

The New
New

We’ve decided it was time for a change here at GermanPod101.
Why the change? Well, We’re not just a podcast website - but a language learning system.

This design makeover is just one small step towards one giant leap to becoming a complete online learning system.

Thoughts on the design? Feedback? Please let us know in the comments below.

But Wait!
What’s that? Look below. There’s a link.
To our 18% OFF Back To School Sale that you’ve always wanted. Look again!
It’s still there but only until August 26th. Sadly, schools don’t lower their costs and neither do student loans. However, we do.

If you’re taking German this semester, you’re more than prepared. Just don’t sleep in class, unless you’re dozing off to the sweet sounds of a GermanPod101 audio lesson.

Note: The Back to School Sale Ends in 48 hours. Save 18% OFF now because your school never does this.
