Annette has been creating videos for Yabla for a while, and in this video, she shares her story. Yabla became an important part of her life, and inspires her to learn languages in a natural and effective way.

Having explored the Bronx and Brooklyn, Sigrid now tells us all about Queens, which is geographically speaking the largest of the 5 boroughs of New York City.

To get from eastern Long Island to the city, travelers and commuters have to go through Queens, so this borough naturally became a very important transit hub, with Jamaica at its center. It also became crisscrossed with many expressways for vehicles.

Spencer asks Maria where she would like to take Oscar, her dog... but when they set off in his car, clouds of smoke start coming from the engine!

Both the Mississippi River and the Colorado River have a huge impact on the lives of millions of Americans. While there have been severe droughts leading to a lack of drinking water, there have also been floods because of quickly melting snow.

It's time to have a look at Staten Island, the 4th borough out of 5. It looks closer to New Jersey than to the rest of New York City and has some other peculiarities.

With the car repaired, Maria and Spencer go to pick up Oscar, who has been waiting patiently for them all day... but the hungry and over-enthusiastic dog immediately finds himself in trouble.

Annette welcomes us aboard her narrowboat home for a taste of a uniquely peaceful lifestyle that consists of navigating canals in the heart of the beautiful English countryside.

Taking animals for inspiration, Annette focuses on characteristics and techniques that will bring success when it comes to sitting an English examination—in particular the TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) exam, one of the best-known standardized English language tests.

We've finally made it to Manhattan, the smallest but most densely populated borough. When we think of New York City, Manhattan is more often than not what comes to mind. This is part 1.

In part 2 about the borough of Manhattan, Sigrid completes her overview of all 5 boroughs of New York City. She talks about some nicknames for New York City, including "the Big Apple."

Finally free from their pursuers, Maria, Spencer, and Oscar arrive at the park. It’s a lovely, sunny Saturday, the perfect day for a romantic walk.

Try to figure out what Sigrid is thinking of as she describes something. Understanding the description is just as important as guessing the answer.

As the series draws to a close, we have learned the one hundred most commonly used words in the English language. Maria and Spencer can relax and walk happily in the park, where nobody will bother them... or so they think!

After exploring the five boroughs of New York City, we move on to Princeton, New Jersey, where Sigrid gets curious about a canal built in the early 19th century.
