About this episode

In this lesson we'll be covering the topic of subordinate clauses. That sounds more complicated than it is! Basically this lesson will teach you how to make requests in German and tell people what you'd like them to do - or not do! Julia is back with another Cultural Correspondent segment and in this episode she's talking about rules and regulations in German-speaking areas.
