Summary:
In this episode of the Better German Podcast, Susi Blumel introduces you to the concept of German plural nouns. She explains that in German, the formation of plurals is more varied than in English, with no single rule to follow. Susi demonstrates some of the different ways plurals are formed and provides examples using words from previous episodes. She reassures listeners that while learning plural forms may seem daunting, there are only a few common ways to form them. Coming up in the next episode, Suse will provide practice in forming plural nouns. Finally, she teases an upcoming episode on how to learn nouns.
