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!

To get us all in the Christmas spirit, Diane sets up and lovingly decorates a Christmas tree. You are all invited to come and see how she does it! Frohe Weihnachten!

In this second episode of the series about the Domäne Dahlem, Eva invites us for a walk around the farm and shows us various crop plants and animals.

We human beings have to eat in order to live, however it can also be a source of pleasure. It's enhanced all the more when enjoyed with good friends. Diane and Franca are meeting for food, conversation and even a short vocabulary lesson — because today they are showing us how to conjugate „essen“ [to eat], an indispensable German verb. Enjoy!

The ability to think enables human beings to take influence on their life and on the world in a very active and conscious way. The philosopher René Descartes once said: "Ich denke, also bin ich [I think, therefore I am]." Enjoy learning to conjugate this important verb!
