When I was growing up, we had discovery channel. That sparked my intrinsic curiousity. My daughter has that intrinsic motivation as well, but only for k-pop now. She likes youtube videos and she likes when I tell her about science stuff. Maybe I can combine that by recommending her some good youtube channels.
Kurgezagt (probably misspelled it, search for in a nutshell)
in german the z and s sounds are switched. and you missed the actual z. its Kurzgesagt (from the word “Kurz” (short) and the 3. person singular perfect of the verb “sagen” (to say), “gesagt” (said)).
(sorry but i couldn’t not correct you and explain where the word came from)
If we’re being pedantic (which I’m all for), the sounds aren’t switched 1:1 exactly.
German z is usually a ts sound, like the tz in hertz.
German s is indeed commonly the same bu**zzing sound as English z (but it can also be a sharp hiss**ing **s**ound).
An approximation might be [koorts guh zaakt].
