German verbs can be divided into different categories depending on which cases they can take. In this German class in Tübingen, the students are asked to form sentences based on the verbs from these categories.

Cettina tells the legend of how the pretzel got its shape and its lye glaze. Afterwards, Cettina and Sara compare a store-bought pretzel with one of the ones they made themselves.

Cettina talks about the German traditions that take place on Pentecost and Whit Monday.

Cettina and Sarah cook a very traditional Bavarian meal: pretzels made from scratch with sausages.

Besides Oktoberfest, what else do you know about Bavaria? Cettina and Sarah go through the geography, history, and other facts related to Germany's largest federal state.

What countries did the "Gastarbeiter" come to Germany from? At what time do Germany's compulsory "quiet hours" begin every night? Answers to these questions and more in this segment from the German citizenship test.

Cettina and Sarah prepare a typical dish from the region of Swabia. Maultaschen are like German ravioli, and are served either fried or in broth.

Cettina and Sara talk about Baden-Württemberg, a federal state in the south of Germany that has a number of defining geographical features and cultural hallmarks.

Barbara starts to explain how different verbs function, first dividing them into different categories by making a list together with her students.

In this German language video, Barbara teaches us about masculine, feminine, and neutral nouns, and the articles that apply to them. Then her lesson continues with sentence structure and the special role that verbs play.

Barbara tries to get the students to talk about what they don't like about Germany, but the only thing they can come up with is the lack of free water in restaurants and cafes. Barbara, however, admits that when she is in the US, she misses German bread. Meanwhile Jacob, Casie, and Stephanie sort out the meaning of sich kümmern um. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara notices that Ian seems to have forgotten how to count in German, and then before the class can get started on relative clauses with verbs and prepositions, Mia and Liz make a great effort to explain sich gewöhnen an. In the end it's all laughs and high-fives! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara bravely leads the somewhat sullen class (late night perhaps?) through an excellent lesson in constructing relative clauses with prepositions, and is not convinced when Mia claims that they are fertig. Whatever could she mean by that? Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

In this fast and furious segment, Barbara takes the class on a slam dunk grammar tour of German relative clauses with prepositions. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Brady tries to cover up his failure to do his homework with the new grammatic term "dative of the accusative", but Barbara isn't having any of it. She, on the other hand, seems to have crossed Tom Waits with John Waite, an interesting musical proposition indeed! So on with the relative pronouns and viel Spaß beim Lernen!

In this second part on making cannelloni, Jenny shows us how to do the last steps of a delicious recipe by famed chef Jamie Oliver. Guten Appetit!

Barbara leads the class in finding categories for relative clauses. Who is Mozart? Mozart is a composer, who...? Despite her support, Brady is at an utter loss for ideas. See if you can help him out! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

In the first half of this two-part series, Yabla's own master chef Jenny gathers the ingredients and takes the first steps in preparing a noodle casserole recipe from famed chef Jamie Oliver. Guten Appetit!

The natives (or non-natives, in this case) are particularly restless today. Mia and Jacob are flirting in whispers so much that Barbara is forced to hush them a few times. So despite the teen shenanigans, we make some progress with relative clauses and have some fun doing so!

The class continues working out the details of the relative clause pronouns dessen and deren. Mia finds herself rebuffed when she suggests that the woman whose husband has disappeared is now entertaining another woman, leading to a discussion of the difference between unterhalten and sich unterhalten. Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara leads the students through further examples of relative pronouns, with a nice detour through film history, discussing the merits of Hitchcock crime films versus horror films. Jacob tries to say "Film Noir" in German, but nobody gets it when he says "ein schwarzer Film". A brief foray into the passive verb tense has everyone on their toes: To be continued... Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Barbara is still running through relative pronouns in the genitive case, but this time in relative clauses. We get to learn a lot about Jacob's appearance, and Elke has long hair, but who is Janno and why is his mouth so nice? This one ends in laughter, so see for yourself how you can have viel Spaß beim Lernen!
