Hi! I'm Ida, your German teacher on YouTube. In this video, I'm cleaning my fridge. Why? I was on holiday and now, unfortunately, a lot has gone bad: Cucumber, pepper sauce, strawberry yoghurt. Help me make sure this doesn't happen again and I'll show you how to pronounce compounds like “Erdbeerjoghurt”.

I am so happy! My tablet works again. But what's the difference between a “Tablet” and a “Tablett”?! In this video I show you how to pronounce international words – that is words that come from another language.
