Today I came across the "Spielplatz" series on youtube on the "Spass für Kinder" channel and got so into it that I just spent 4-5 hour cram session going through the 7 extremely short videos which range each from 2mins to 4mins. (listening to them at their normal speed, at a slowed down speed and with and without the German subtitles while also looking up the words in them that I didn't know... being so very short makes it easy to listen to them in all kinds of ways over and over till I felt very comfortable with the German in each one).
I really liked this children's video series as each video builds on the words on the previous one.. the topic for all these videos is fahrzeug (vehicles and their parts.. yah I know the German word for steering wheel and drivers seat now etc) and counting to 10 (so a real beginner can get something out of these videos also).
I learnt quite a few new sayings which would be common ones with these and I think they were very helpful to me in the way they are done not at the usual beginners learning speed but at a normal German speaking speed which is quite quick and is an area I've been trying to improve my listening in for a while now.
Anyway, I wanted to share these as I have not come across anything like this and there is not much in the way of learning videos out there in which each one builds on the language in the previous video.
