There are 7 uncommon consonants in German, which we divide into two categories. The first category - fricatives on the palate - are all the same airflow, but differentiated by where the tongue is placed on the roof of the mouth.
The second set are known as affricates, plus a glottal stop added in. Watch the videos for more context, and then use the drill to practice the articulation.
