#51 YouTube Channel Recommendation: JerryRigEverything
📊 English Level: Upper
🔤 Subtitles: Provided
💬 Topics: Technology, driving, experiments, DIY
💡 Content: This channel is slightly (=a little bit) nerdish (=crazy about technology and every detail of it) but a great source of English if you’re interested in technology and building stuff. Jerry loves to take stuff apart and see how things work, and he can make things work like a total DIY (=‘do it yourself’, not buying things but making them by oneself) guy. Very hands-on (=practical and simple, working with one’s hands).

Almost well done, I think we've found the right answer after all!
These are realistic-looking tortilla blankets. They don't just look funny, they're also super soft and very forgiving when it comes to stains (=dirty areas on clothes).

Travelogue 🇩🇪Germany #11: The cure
▶️ Perhaps you know the Russian word "курорт" which is the German word for "spa town". There are many of them in Germany, and they're usually named "Bad ...". That doesn't mean "bad" in English but "bath".
Some have natural salt deposits (=presence of minerals or elements) in the ground, and inhaling (=breathing in deeply) salty steam (=humid air) can cure (=heal) many ills.
To make the salty water breathable people built these tall structures stuffed (=filled) with tree twigs (=small branches) from which salt water runs down.
Still today it is common to 'go on a cure' for a month or just spend a wellness (=sth good for your body, like massage, sauna, etc) weekend at a spa town. Spa town architecture is also very beautiful.
