German Language/Culture Video Thread

Amtmann · 06-03-2010 2:09pm #1

I thought this thread might be a good one to have. Here you can post German language videos, or videos about German culture. The aim is to practice listening to German and to improve your listening comprehension. Videos in English relating to Germany itself can also be posted.

Videos in German can include English subtitles (just to help people along).

No pornography allowed.
