Useful Radio and TV Links

Want to do valuable homework an make it feel like you're doing something fun? It's never been so easy to access the German speaking world, thanks to the internet. On the right hand side, in the 'Useful German Links' box, you can click on any of th hyperlinks and go straight to top TV and Radio Stations.

TV: the ARD Mediathek is the iPlayer for the main German TV station, ARD. YOu can watch trashy sopas like 'Sturm der Liebe' and 'Marienhof', or the main news show on German TV, 'Tagesschau'.

I've also put up links to some Geman RAdion stations. The first is NDRInfo, which is the news station of the North German Broadcaster, NDR, which provides news for ARD. This is really useful for Leaving Cert students wanting to hone their listening comprehension skills (part 4 is news, don't forget!!)

Well put up more stuff as we get a chance, keep watching!!
