The survey was conducted from April 2021 to the end of June 2022 at the Adult Education center in the city of Frankenthal, Germany. A deliberate sample of respondents (N = 38) foreigners who came to live in Germany with their families and want to learn A1 level of German was selected. The results indicate that 35% of respondents believe that they took notes and understood podcasts very well, then 28% believe in the possibility of external technical support for podcasts. The aim of the research is to examine the perception of adults about the impact of podcasts used during a foreign language course, i.e., its effectiveness for acquiring basic knowledge. More than half of the exams think that using podcasts better memorizes the material. These results can be an indicator of a successful teaching process as a new e-didactics in adult education but also a motivation for future professionals in adult education centers, including higher levels of language learning.
