About this episode

Welcome back to Coffee Break German Season 3! In this episode, we are reviewing relative clauses before looking at relative clauses in the genitive. We then see this grammar point in context during a conversation between Helene and Florian who are looking at old school photographs. Listen out for some school-related vocabulary such as: Schulzeit, Strafarbeit and Nachhilfe.
