In Part II of this video, Yabla star reporter Jenny gives us further instructions how to play chess, going into detail on the rules of castling and the meaning of a stalemate. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Yabla star reporter Jenny gives us the basics on how to play chess, which may be of special interest if you know the game a bit, in that many German chess pieces have quite different names than their English counterparts. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

In this, the very last of the "relative clause" series, the class seems to have had a late one the night before. Despite Barbara having expressly described the correct pronunciation of träumen only a minute before, Stephanie continues to mispronounce it. Perhaps the class will be fresher after lunch! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara leads the class into some examples of relative clauses, but then has to give the class a refresher course in modal verbs. Luckily they pass with flying colors! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Yabla star reporter (and future hip-hop dancer) Diane and her special guest Franca give us a tour of the verb brauchen (to need). Diane is sure that quitting her stressful office job to pursue a career in hip-hop dancing is a great idea, but luckily Franca is a bit more sceptical. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Yabla's own Diane shows us the German terms for the most important parts of the body with the help of her friend and assistant Franca.

Barbara leads the class in the construction of relative clauses using a list of nouns and categories. The sheer volume of the text seems to have put the class on its best behavior! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Continuing with relative clauses, the class gets into the details of which noun is actually being described in the relative clause, and Aaron verbally decapitates Isaac Newton in the process! Luckily the apple fell on Newton's head, which remained firmly attached to his neck. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Yabla's very own Eva takes us on a nice stroll though an autumnal German park and fills us in on the best things about the German vocabulary for this time of year. Enjoy!

The Blautopf [Blue Pot] in Blaubeuren is shrouded in enchanting legends, tales and stories of old! Let Diane, one of Yabla’s own reporters, take you along on an outing to this very special spring-fed lake. Viel Spaß!

Here's another joke with that little rascal "ornery Fritzle". We hope it puts a smile on your face. Viel Spaß!

"Ornery Fritzle" appears in many typical German jokes. Today Ivana's going to tell you the one where he goes shopping with his grandma. Viel Spaß!

The Star Thalers, one of the Grimm brothers' fairytales, tells the story of an orphan girl, who, despite her abject poverty, one by one, unselfishly gives away her very last possessions. Viel Spaß!

Today Sabine's got a cute animal joke to tell you. It's the one about the penguin who gets pulled over by the police. Viel Spaß!

Dressed up as a cat, Yabla reporter Cettina mingles with the Carnival-goers to show you what this popular event is all about. So in the spirit of the Carnival season - and I do mean 'season', because in some regions of Germany, Carnival is called die 5. Jahreszeit [the fifth season of the year!]... Helau!
