What is Schlager?

Schlager means hit/beat and is a style of light sentimental ABBAesque euro-pop music.

I'll be honest and say that I think schlager music is quite awful.  However, I find that if you listen to it for too long you can end up with some kind of aural Stockholm Syndrome. 

What's more the songs often deal with themes such as love, feelings and relationships in quite simple language - perfect for someone learning Deutsch!

Here is the radio station I found to listen to some schlager
