In this A0-level video, you'll learn German entirely in German, using a method based on Comprehensible Input and ALG (Automatic Language Growth) — imitating how children acquire their first language. In this episode of the Self-Introduction series, I talk about my family name. I say my last name, explain what it means, and talk about my family tree and our family coat of arms. I also explain facts about the animal that is part of my name. Everything is presented slowly and clearly, with gestures, visuals, and lots of repetition, so even complete beginners can follow easily.
