B1

This episode will take the fear out of using wäre in German.

All it means is "would be," but would be has nothing to do with reality.

This grammar topic is known as the "Konjunktiv II." We'll use only the present tense today.

If this is brand new for you, it's best to take it one step at a time. The first step are the very straight-forward sentences (or "simple sentences") in this episode.
