Ask Angelika Season 3 Episode 10 - Bonn

In this episode we learned a few things about Bonn. As always Steven got to read some German sentences about it and tried to translate them into English. At the end of the show we also watched a little video about my new colouring book for young German learners, who made it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro!
