    Correction: There are two typos in the graphics of this video. "Kuhlschrank" should be "Kühlschrank," and
    "Schneke" should be "Schnecke." Sorry for any confusion this may have caused!

      Also, "die Nacktschnecken" is the plural form so it would be slugs ore in word to word translation, "naked snails"

    German is my mother language, but I assume "Nacktschnecke" is easier to learn than slug, because you just have to understand compound words, learn nackt=nacked and snail=schnecke, apply some logic and you basically learned 3 word by learning 2 words
    Meanwhile we Germans have to learn 3 totally different English words, which have no grammatical link to each other: snail, slug and nacked

      Great point...
      But its make a language's sometime common words unusually longer.
      Like why we need this Streichholzschachtel for matchbox just invent a new easier word...

    This was one of the reasons that scared me the most from learning german, but know I realize that is more like "hard to learn, easy to master"

    those long words are mostly used in official or formal language. in every day language most of the time we use words which consist of two other.

    It’s kühl, it seems that the points above the ü are missing

    The funny thing is that English works the same way. The difference is that the words are not put together, i.e. Haustür = house door.

    You missed to break down "Rindfleisch". You could break it down to Rind which means cattle or cow and Fleisch which is meat. Cattle meat.

    I would like to point out that there are some mistakes in this.
    For example:
    "Kuhl" is actually kühl
    And "Schneke" is actually Schnecke.
    I know these are small mistakes, but they're mistakes none the less.
