Learn German at Zoo Duisburg – Animal Vlog & Vocabulary Practice (A2–B2)
In this video I take you on a full German vlog through Zoo Duisburg and teach you real animal vocabulary along the way – perfect listening and vocab practice in one. 🐅🇩🇪
Level: A2–B2 (beginner plus to intermediate)
While we look at different enclosures, I speak German, point out the animals and highlight useful words and phrases. You’ll hear natural vlog-style German, but with clear pronunciation and extra explanations so you can follow along even if you’re not advanced yet.
You’ll learn German words like:
der Katta, der Lemur, der Pelikan
die Schildkröte, der Wels, der Fisch, der Piranha
die Qualle, die Koralle, der Delfin
…and how to use them in simple sentences when you talk about animals, aquariums and zoos in German.
💬 Mini examples from the vlog:
Da vorne siehst du den Katta und andere Lemuren. → Over there you can see the ring-tailed lemur and other lemurs.
Die Schildkröte schwimmt ganz langsam durchs Wasser. → The turtle is swimming very slowly through the water.
Hier leben Piranhas und andere Fische zusammen im Becken. → Here piranhas and other fish live together in the tank.
Im Delfinarium erfährst du mehr über den Delfin und seinen Lebensraum. → In the dolphinarium you learn more about the dolphin and its habitat.
You also get a bit of cultural insight into German zoos and Zoo Duisburg in particular, which is famous for its koalas and dolphinarium. I keep switching between relaxed vlog talk and focused vocabulary moments, so you can enjoy the visit and still feel like you’re properly learning.
If you like learning German through real-life trips and not just from textbooks, this zoo adventure is for you. Watch once just for fun, then again to pause on the words and repeat them out loud.
Tell me in the comments which animal you liked most and which German animal words you want me to cover next.
