This could be used to easily introduce the grammatical concept of pronouns with a preliminary question focusing on seeing if students can identify any in English and explain their function before viewing the video to see how they work in German.
Subsequent exploration of this grammatical point could involve how the gender and number (i.e. singular vs plural) of the noun govern pronoun use.
