Plot (short): A course for grades 5-10. Similar content, style and media like other German publishers (Cornelsen). Pic 1 is from Level 5, video 2 My Family, pic 2 below from level 6, video 1 Our Summer Holidays. From official samples, old edition (Bisherige) (2018 ?) but obviously the same as the 2023 edition.  Sorry, I forgot this. Camden Market Junior also coming soon. Same, different design on the editions (for more see Camden Town).

All DVDs are for teachers only.

And Audio CD with DVD for teachers. New edition 3 has DVD for teachers. Older editions had a 3 disc set (Audio disc, DVD-ROM, Video DVD).

There are CD-ROMs Multimedia Language Trainer (year 2000?, unknown if have videos, probably not, later called Multimedia Sprachtrainer). Audio CDs probably have kids and grown ups. Interactive Whiteboard DVD-ROMs (at least for Camden Town) don't have videos (but audio and pics).

There are related series like Camden Town (incl. Camden Town Advanced, 3 DVDs for teachers UK/USA) and Camden Market. Camden Town has student's workbooks with DVDs.

Some samples can be watched on the official site. At least titles of contents can be watched on the BiBox 2.0 site. Previews for units 1-3 but needs logged-in as teacher for almost all clips. Some more clips on the old edition. There are also (watermarked) previews of books showing some tiny screen caps of clips.

It can be used with the Diesterweg Sampler DVD-ROM.


Episodes: unknown DVD length, clips are short ~2+ minutes
