Absolutely true!! Here’s a story I thought was typical German: I got food poisoning in Austria and wound up in a hospital in Füßen. I was so sick I thought I was gonna die. But every morning (for a couple days) this old battle ax German nurse would come in first thing in the morning, look at me and say, “ AUFSTEHEN!!” I’d get up and shiver, sick to death standing there while she changed the sheets on the hospital bed...Ach Gott
Eine kurze Geschichte zum Tanzen. Ich war mal wieder ne Weile in Kenia unterwegs und bekam folgende Aussage einer Afrikanerin mit : "I like white people. They are so free, even while dancing they are totally free. Even free from rhythm"
Hi Zeug Dings, I thought I should do you a favour and fix your ignorance (I don't know if there's much I can do to remedy your barely concealed racism though) ruclips.net/video/mJ2mXRrCRYs/видео.html
Then you should see the episode in which he flirts with all the women he is interviewing. An oldie. I think it's called "was machst du heute". A woman explains that she's got a new Schrank, and Manuel gets out of her that she has just broken up with her boyfriend. Such obvious, but charming, flirting :D
I am from Germany and I am not organized or not properly. Supposedly German ones are always very punctual, I am always untimely😅😅Sorry, if anything is misspelled, I'm from Germany🤷🏻 ♀️😅
Lieblingskartoffelzubereitungsmethode is the most typically German thing about this whole video. In the rest of the world people form sentences out of words, in Germany they form words out of sentences 😂
Warm drinks in the summer is certainly something that we do here in the UK, but that's generally because the weather's probably changed by the time we've boiled the kettle.
hahahahahahaha…...so true! But in reality, drinking ice cold drinks in summer isn't good for your internal body temperature and organs. I really dislike the American habit of putting ice cubes into all non-warm drinks.
Hi, i am hasna from Morocco. I would like to say something about Germany. First and foremost, i find that Germany is an incredible land with amazing natural resources, and the thing i like about it most is the natural landscape. For the Germans, i find them very smart and clever people. They might not be exactly like other peoples but they have a lot to say. For me The Germans are thoughtful citizens who, through history, have been thinking and growing in philosophy as well as many areas . I love how the Germans care about their people and country. I've learned that children's rights in Germany are taken care of by the government and by their fellow citizens as well. In contrast, in my country, human rights and especially children's rights are something which is , very often, not taken into consideration. An additional point that i like about the Germans is their honesty and politeness. I, actually, love honest people. I've had many life experiences where people said things like " hi, how are you? " but they didn't , truly, mean that they cared, and then every conversation was just superficial. Rather, i love how the Germans do things with their own conviction, not because they have to. I like the German dance. I've been learning many german dance moves. I've been learning the Bayern's schuhplattler , in which i fell in love. I don't want to end this comment without mentioning the German traditional music. Honestly, i'm into this kind of traditional music and the yodeling also. I love the German traditional music and i like each instrument used to produce it. Finally, i admire the Germans' punctuality. When i, first, learnt about it i was kind of surprised! But it's something that value a lot, in comparison to Morocco people here are kind of always late. Hhh i think it's kind of hard on us to be as punctual as you actually are. In conclusion, Germany and the Germans are very interesting. And actually there are unencumbered things that i like about this nation. Actually, It is such an inspiration to me .
Ich liebe Sie können stolz darauf sein, Deutscher zu sein, so wie ich stolz darauf bin, Franzose zu sein. Super Video. Wir sind alle Bewohner der Welt. Danke.
Oh, how true! I've seen some very heated discussion about this recently on a couple of the German-based language and culture RUclips channels especially Dana's Wanted Adventure channel. This appears to be a true cultural divergence between especially the US and Germany. It is something that I was perhaps blissfully ignorant of, in spite of having a number of German friends, having lived there a couple times during childhood and visited twice since adulthood. It has me wondering how many people I may have inadvertently annoyed!
Ja, und ich löse bei meinen amerikanischen Freunden und Kollegen immer wieder totale Irritation aus, wenn ich ich korrekt und wahrheitsgemäß antworte (meist eher negativ oder einschränken ;-)
Nein, in den anderen Sprachen klingen die Wörter die aus vielen Wörtern zusammengesetzt worden sind schwer und unverständlich. Zudem kannst du das Zeichen 's' auf Englischem nicht dazwischen benutzen, was macht das Wort noch schwerer.
+Dylan Jones I was thinking quite the opposite. Learn German so you can express yourself in double, triple, quadruple decker word sandwiches with no toppings left out. I ❤️ it myself.

Die Top 3 mit dem Verabreden zum Kaffe ist sowas von wahr. Ich habe gerade vor 5 min ein Kaffeetreffen für in 18 Tagen abgemacht, was ich so genau weiß, weil es sowohl in meinem Kalender, als auch in der Erinnerungsfunktion meines Handys eingetragen wurde. Gleich unter dem "Waschen von Gardinen und Sofabezug" Eintrag, denn Ordnung muss sein.

i really love those old fashioned toilet bowls though. it prevents 'backsplashes' of the water that's already in the toilet bowl. i absolutely hate backsplashes.
May I just mention Carina, as a person who has just passed the B2 in German, that your German accent is simply beautiful to listen to. And that it is the accent I am practicing everyday. Keep it up!
I just realized that most Germans are richtig nett..I was at the dentist one morning,alone waiting in the hall...suddenly a guy came from the front door and said good morning...that is so heartwarming that you greet stranger like that you know😊 I wouldnt do that if I were him..im shy~🙈 😆
Als bei Pünktlichkeit geht es nicht nur um die Eigenschaft als sich. Ich denke es hat auch viel mit Respekt zu tun, dass ich mich an die vereinbarten Zeiten halte.
Das da mit "Ordnung muß sein" stimmt wirklich. Alles muß geplant werden, jede Regel gehört gehorcht zu sein. "Sehen Sie nicht, daß die Ampel Rot ist?!" habe ich schon öfter gehört.
Difference to Austria with the traffic lights: In most cities and crossings, with exception of the ones with much traffic even at night, the lights change to blinking yellow at night. So everyone has to be careful and checking out, when he/she wants to cross the street. So it's not necessary to wait in the night, unless there are cars coming.
Love your channel as an expat from Freiburg im Breisgau living in California but originaly born and raised in in Istanbul you remind me the good old times when was learning German in 80ies very refreshing thank you for you hard work to teach German and your world view of openness! look forward to more episodes. Greeting from sunny California. Daniel
Ich mag es, wenn die Cari so laut und spontan lacht, während Manuel einfach lächelt. Er findet das auch lustig, reagiert aber anders. Deutsche sind nicht alle gleich!
Hey guys! This episode had so much good content. I wanted to mention that the story about Cari parking, while really funny, was also really useful. Hearing someone speak in the past and tell a story like that helps for multiple reasons. The story was about something pretty common (parking), contained practical vocab, and also gave us some phrases for speaking in the past with Prateritum. Being able to tell stories is something that really makes us more capable to participate in conversations with native speakers beyond a basic level. Maybe you could do some videos with stories like that! Or make an episode asking some questions that would lead to a cool story in the past as an answer. Especially over everyday stuff. Just a thought! Thank you :)
Jeremy Swint i totally agree thats what learning a new language is all about people want to be able to share such stories but when you learn it in pieces and grammar it is very diffucult to remember and put pieces together like a native. I came across to this channel randomly thanks to RUclips algorithm i find it very useful.
A good comment....I learned French rather piecemeal, so I am somewhat confident to produce a conversation in the present tense, but have never grasped the past and can only use the future in the form of 'I am going to'. Mind you, at 72, I can barely master English nowadays! Robert, UK.
Omg 6:16 - OMG my German boyfriend of 4 years. No matter winter or summer, cold or hot, first thing he does when he wakes up, before he sleeps, before he goes to work, after returns home, he opens windows! 'FRESH AIR!! Ahhh' LMAO
Hallo Cari and Manuel! I love all your videos! Your topics are always so interesting and you make learning German very enjoyable, especially when you guys talk at a much more 'humanly' pace, easier for us foreigners to understand :) Thank you all the way from Hong Kong ^^
Typical German: To be as quiet as possible in conversation walking down the street. Typical American: Be as loud as possible in conversation walking down the street.
Das mit dem Starren finde ich echt interessant. Eins der Dinge die ich auf RUclips gelernt und schon echt oft gehört habe. Die meisten Amerikaner finden es schon seltsam wenn man im Gespräch Augenkontakt hält. Das finde ich echt komisch. Denn das Gegenteil finden wir Deutschen ja echt unhöflich. Und gucken in der Bahn ist nur ein Zeichen von Interesse, weil wir können ja kein Smalltalk. Aber neugierig auf andere Menschen und Kulturen sind wir ja trotzdem. Einfach lächeln, wenn einer guckt. Vielleicht lächelt er/sie zurück. 😁
Das mit dem Starren ist mir neu. Ich habe als Kind noch gelernt, daß man andere Leute nicht anglotzt, vor allem wenn sie fremdländisch aussehen (deutsche Anstandsregel!)
In Germany, very patiently waiting for the red man to change to green before crossing. Also, placing the lovely bed downs, quilts on the window ledge to air! Midday lunchtime is almost religious; lovely 🇩🇪🇬🇧
Great episode. Thanks for all the work you put forth on this project. My only comment is that i find people have more commonalities than differences. The differences make us who we are.
I was in Germany in December and I got so many stares, I thought it was adorable. As an American it's rude to stare but we make eye contact when talking to each other.
American here. I also schedule everything on my calendar, even leisure time. I used to get upset when my schedule was altered by unforeseen circumstances, but I realized that life doesn't care about my schedule, so I'm much more relaxed now. But I still schedule everything.
Das Lüften ist weil die Häuser alle aus Stein und Beton sind. In einem Holzhaus, wie die meisten in Amerika, braucht man das nicht. Aber als ich in Landshut (Niederbayern) wohnte, stand auch bei mir im Mietvertrag, daß man jeden Tag die Wohnung gut lüften musste, und sogar 30cm Abstand zwischen der Wand und den Schränken halten musste (im ersten Jahr -- nach einem Jahr musste der Abstand nicht so weit sein).
Whenever i come back to UK from Germany i'm always amazed more people are'nt knocked down crossing the road on a red light! Never have i found a warm beer anywhere in Germany(thank god!) I also love that Germans are more direct & honest than many of their British counterparts...
This is really fun to me-if I read the German subtitles and listen to them speaking, I can actually understand most of this. It is extremely interesting to listen to the colloquialisms and idiom of German...you absolutely cannot learn that from a book! Thank you so much for the fun videos!!
Ich als Schweizerin finde, dass ihr Deutschen immer so eine positive Einstellung habt. Auch wenn ihr was beschreibt, oder von etwas redet, dann ist das immer so mit einer Freude verbunden. Ihr seit auch viel offener und lacht irgendwie mehr über Fehler als wir.. Da könnten wir wirklich manchmal eine Scheibe davon abschneiden... Achja und ihr seit extrem gute Berater und sehr Gastfreundlich!!!🤪👍 So und jetzt bitte nur noch gute Vorurteile gegenüber uns netten 🇨🇭🤪
i went to munchen this year to visit a friend and i have to admit people were way friendlier, warmer and more polite than i could imagine. i really liked it! the only thing that bothered me was that everytime i tried to speak german they would answer in english, showing that i am an anfanger and shouldn't speak or sth. even one time i just said "vielen dank and the kellner answered "you're welcome". i mean common :P otherwise great ppl and outgoing i would say, and i am greek
I knoooow many people complain about the fact that Germans like to answer in English - but please don't think that all those people do not appreciate your German. I bet that most people are rather trying to be polite, trying to reducing your efforts and at the same time a little bit proud to speak in English (just as you are speaking in German :) - I know that doesn't help either, but try to see it from that side next time it happens :)
Rita, I can only echo what Carina has said. In spite of having had a number of years of German study and a German penpal who knows hardly any English, the two times that I've been to Germany as an adult have been wonderful experiences with friendly people and the minute they knew that I was an English-speaker, they wanted to use their English as much as I wanted to use my German! And their English was usually much, much more practiced and polished than my German. (Sigh.)
I found this to be the case in Munich and especially in Berlin in neighborhoods with a lot of people of different origins. I figured they wanted to practice/make it easier, but it is super frustrating - almost implying that your German is total Scheisse. One Kellner asked me if I wanted to speak in English or Deutsch..and I had to fall back to English for the rest of our travel group - at least she asked!
To me the lady is very joly, merry, happy and that is not what I expect from a German person, the gentleman is more like what I expected. But I like you both! :)
That's what I totally like about her..she is relaxed and has humor..some germans I meet are uptight and win bisschen nervos...she's totally cool though, geil which really has made Easy German so popular on RUclips
8:17 Stimmt. Ist halt Tradition, bei uns ertönen bis in die heutige Zeit samstags um 17.00 h die Kirchenglocken, um den Beginn des Sonnabends und das Ende des Arbeits-Samstags anzuzeigen.
Yesss, the staring thing! Das stimmt so hard. The first time I went to Germany I would get really weirded because everyone was staring so blatantly at me on the bus. 😂😂 To be fair, it wasn't a very international city (like Berlin, for example) so maybe people just weren't used to seeing an Asian face on the bus :P But in New Zealand, where I'm from, people would at least try to not make it so obvious that they were staring. At first it made me super self-conscious but after a while I started staring back just to see what would happen 😂😂 Turns out, most people do look away if you stare back at them long enough! ;)
Jesus, go to Asia and everyone stares at you (as a European). When I was in Kyoto they even made pictures of us in front of a temple. "Staring thing" dear god......
You just has to know, it's no offence to you. Just a sign of being interested to you. The americans making Smalltalk with strangers, because they're interested and that's the shy german version of that. Give them a smile and maybe you get a smile back. 😃
I so appreciate your subtitles. In fact, I wish I could have access to your subtitles in transcript form. It would be so useful to go back and study your sentences, without having to constantly pause the video to read them, because I am so slow.
The traffic lights thing is very true. In the UK, it is pretty much up to your discretion when to cross. So, when I came to Germany I thought it would be the same and went to cross an empty street when it was a red man, only to find my German girlfriend pulling me back by the arm and telling me I "need to wait. You always need to wait. It's the rules." I only really obey those rules when she's around though.
This to me is hilarious. My English teacher once gave us an assignment when we talked about cultural differences in class (he was Canadian, being married to a German, so his insights were awesome). We had to form a hypothesis and prove or disprove it. Seeing as I had the topic "German pedestrians" I hypothesised that at a red pedestrian light a) women were more likely to stop than men and b) almost everyone would stop if there was a child (child being someone who looked to me under the age of 15 or something like that, basically not teenagers; but especially small children). And my hypotheses were proven right. Why am I telling you this? See, I was standing in my city centre in the middle of a really cold Saturday in November, freezing my behind off while watching people. I witnessed multiple times, that when couples wanted to cross, when there was a red light, the guy would march on and the woman almost ripping his arm out or getting hers almost ripped out in holding back their better half. They all got scolded by their girlfriends or at least received the stink eye. They all waited for green after that (except that one guy, his girlfriend almost fell over her feet getting dragged across the street). So your comment brought me back to that cold day in November! xD
I went to Berlin a couple of months ago and was surprised by this. The really strange thing is if there's a car coming the other way turning right, then it's allowed to go at the same moment the pedestrian light turns green. So you stand for a couple of minutes looking at an empty road and then as soon as you're signaled to go and step into the street you almost get run over.
ChilyAnt In the US I think most people would wait for the light, unless they were out in the country. Running a red light is a big deal and recently more and more lights have cameras, so a cop doesn’t even have to catch you.
the traffic lights thing. If its night time and theres hardly anyone around and very few cars, i see most people crossing when they want. Also as the video eluded, the more international and large the german city the less the red lights thing is an issue. In part of berlin and hamburg, people cross when they want as they would in UK or any other country. But obviously in most of germany its a No-No.
I live in The Czech Republic and it's fascinating to see how so similar the Czech way of doing things is to the German. Almost everything they're saying in this segment is true for Czechs. Not surprising, given that a) they were under the Austrians for centuries, and b) Germany is 1 of our neighbours and still heavily influences a lot of business and economic things concerning Czech life. Whilst card use is more common now, here especially in the bigger cities, the other aspects -- being asked if haven't you the correct change or, getting annoyed looks for paying for something with a big bill -- are the same. Must be a Central European/Eastern European cultural phenomena -- although technically, Germany's more considered part of Western Europe, I know.

Easy German is a very good program to learn German. It would be good if the translation is clear always as it becomes blur sometimes. Hope you guys can look into it. Thanks :)
Ahhh!!! Das macht mir echt nostalgisch für mein Leben in Deutschland! :'( Plötzlich kommt mir vor dass ich vielleicht doch in Deutschland besser passe. Ich bin auch pünktlich, seriös, effizient, und kann nicht tanzen.
Sehr cooles Video, ihr beiden!Ich muss sagen, ich habe echt gestaunt, wie viel deutsches Kulturgut ich doch in mir trage, obwohl ich von mir selbst immer sage, ich bin eher türkisch. Vor allem an der Stelle mit dem Joggen-in-den-Kalender-schreiben musste ich echt lachen, mega lustig! :D Und ich habe bei mir selbst tatsächlich auch gemerkt, dass ich selbst bei Freizeitaktivitäten nicht so "frei" bin, sondern mir manchmal sogar denke "Soo, jetzt sitzt du hier (im Café oder so) schon 2 Stunden, so langsam könntest du auch wieder gehen"- Kennt das jemand? Richtig krank! :DIch hab' noch etwas typisch Deutsches: die Rechtschreibung! Es können bei weitem nicht alle sehr gut schreiben, aber es wird sehr viel mehr Wert darauf gelegt, wodurch es auch mehr Leute können. Im türkischen Kontext z.B. ist das gar nicht so. Ach, und was ich bei mir außer der fehlenden Spontanität gemerkt habe, ist, dass ich auch sehr direkt bin. Hier kommt es: Manuel, du bist mir sehr sympathisch! :DPS: Sorry für den Roman.
Danke Hayali 😍 - aber die Situation im Cafe verstehe ich nicht ganz 😂. Also du sitzt mit Freunden im Cafe und denkst, die könnten doch langsam wieder abhauen? 😂
Nein, nein! :D Ich denke mir nicht, die könnten langsam mal abhauen, sondern habe selbst quasi fast ein schlechtes Gewissen, wenn ich einfach nur stundenlang dasitze und beispielsweise den ganzen Tag "verschwende". :D Das tun manche Freunde in der Türkei. Ich könnte einfach nicht nur ein Getränk bestellen, es austrinken und dann noch 3 Stunden da sitzenbleiben. Zumindest würde ich noch was bestellen, um was gegen mein schlechtes Gewissen zu tun. :D Ich brauche da allg. sowas wie ein Zeitlimit, glaub ich. Ich muss also scheinbar wissen, wann das Chillen ein Ende hat, obwohl es mir ja eigentlich Spaß macht. :D Wieder ein Roman :D
Hallo Cari und Janusch! Vielen Dank für "Easy german"! Ich gucke das Programm jedes mal und denke wie ich will euch kennenzulernen! Ihr seid geil :) Ich wollte über meine "typisch deutsch" Erfahrung erzählen. Alle meine Bekannte Mädels aus Deutschland haben immer dabei drei Sachen: Wasserflasche(kann leer sein), Strümpfe(auf Zufall von spontanes kalt) und Schal. Liebe Grüße aus Russland und Sibirien!
One thing I noticed from my late Opa and a few other german descendants in Brazil, is that when they wash dishes, they fill up the sink with water and soap, then just wash them there, without rinsing it afterwards. Not very clean to me :P
Im from Colombia but live in England and travel to Berlin often and I must admit Germans have become my favourite people, they are radically honest, I find this incredibly refreshing! I always ask what is german sense of humour? until now I hven't had an answer...
Cari is very approachable and friendly :-) Love her sense of humor.
👍

So everyone has to be careful and checking out, when he/she wants to cross the street. So it's not necessary to wait in the night, unless there are cars coming.
Love your channel as an expat from Freiburg im Breisgau living in California but originaly born and raised in in Istanbul you remind me the good old times when was learning German in 80ies very refreshing thank you for you hard work to teach German and your world view of openness! look forward to more episodes. Greeting from sunny California. Daniel
Ich mag es, wenn die Cari so laut und spontan lacht, während Manuel einfach lächelt. Er findet das auch lustig, reagiert aber anders. Deutsche sind nicht alle gleich!
Manuel is so typically German and also so adorable! Such a nice and intelligent guy.
Hey guys! This episode had so much good content. I wanted to mention that the story about Cari parking, while really funny, was also really useful. Hearing someone speak in the past and tell a story like that helps for multiple reasons. The story was about something pretty common (parking), contained practical vocab, and also gave us some phrases for speaking in the past with Prateritum. Being able to tell stories is something that really makes us more capable to participate in conversations with native speakers beyond a basic level. Maybe you could do some videos with stories like that! Or make an episode asking some questions that would lead to a cool story in the past as an answer. Especially over everyday stuff. Just a thought! Thank you :)
Jeremy Swint i totally agree thats what learning a new language is all about people want to be able to share such stories but when you learn it in pieces and grammar it is very diffucult to remember and put pieces together like a native. I came across to this channel randomly thanks to RUclips algorithm i find it very useful.
A good comment....I learned French rather piecemeal, so I am somewhat confident to produce a conversation in the present tense, but have never grasped the past and can only use the future in the form of 'I am going to'. Mind you, at 72, I can barely master English nowadays! Robert, UK.
Tolles Team...ihr seid so unterhaltsam. Ich liebe es, zu hören, wie uns andere sehen.👍👍👍
Danke alle für das Video! Es war mir sehr lehrreich! Mir gefällte Manuel's Erklärungen besonders. Gratuliere!
Ich hatte einen Schlaganfall um 2:41

Omg 6:16 - OMG my German boyfriend of 4 years. No matter winter or summer, cold or hot, first thing he does when he wakes up, before he sleeps, before he goes to work, after returns home, he opens windows! 'FRESH AIR!! Ahhh' LMAO
9:20 Thanks for that explanation. I get asked that question all the time.
Hallo Cari and Manuel! I love all your videos! Your topics are always so interesting and you make learning German very enjoyable, especially when you guys talk at a much more 'humanly' pace, easier for us foreigners to understand :) Thank you all the way from Hong Kong ^^
Typical German: To be as quiet as possible in conversation walking down the street.
Typical American: Be as loud as possible in conversation walking down the street.
You guys are great, and many typical German ways are just the same as ours, Love from the UK
You two made me laugh so much. I have watched this video many times because it's so funny (and mostly true).
Please make more videos together.
Helps me back to learning, thank you

„Ich hasse das.“
Das ist typisch Deutsch 😂Brava Cari
Jaa :D das hab ich in Neuseeland gemerkt. Die haben mich ganz empört angeguckt.
Can we just admit how freaking handsome this man is?
and how typisch deutsch... my god
Das mit dem Starren finde ich echt interessant. Eins der Dinge die ich auf RUclips gelernt und schon echt oft gehört habe. Die meisten Amerikaner finden es schon seltsam wenn man im Gespräch Augenkontakt hält. Das finde ich echt komisch. Denn das Gegenteil finden wir Deutschen ja echt unhöflich.
Und gucken in der Bahn ist nur ein Zeichen von Interesse, weil wir können ja kein Smalltalk. Aber neugierig auf andere Menschen und Kulturen sind wir ja trotzdem. Einfach lächeln, wenn einer guckt. Vielleicht lächelt er/sie zurück. 😁
Das mit dem Starren ist mir neu. Ich habe als Kind noch gelernt, daß man andere Leute nicht anglotzt, vor allem wenn sie fremdländisch aussehen (deutsche Anstandsregel!)
Zwischen starren und Augenkontakt beim reden ist ja noch eine ganze Welt
In Germany, very patiently waiting for the red man to change to green before crossing. Also, placing the lovely bed downs, quilts on the window ledge to air! Midday lunchtime is almost religious; lovely 🇩🇪🇬🇧
Ich liebe es, in einem Café zu sitzen und Leute zu beobachten. 🤷🏼♀️
Ich liebe den Manuel, ist ja sooo süß!! :)))
Er sieht gut aus nicht wahr
Von mir aus mag ich Cari. Sie ist seelisch, freundlich und hat sehr gute Aussprache. Schön, dass sie dieses Projekt führt.
Ihr seit ganz witzig, und ich geniesse deine Channel! Ich bin froh, ich habe Euch gefunden!! Vielen Dank!!! :)
Great episode. Thanks for all the work you put forth on this project. My only comment is that i find people have more commonalities than differences. The differences make us who we are.
Having lived in Germany for many years (I am American), I forgot about all of these things. There are sooo many !!!
"Who really wants to examine their stool?"
I would think a carpenter. Carpenters examine stools quite frequently.
dake für die tollen videos!! weite so. bleibt so natürlich und macht nicht zuviele cuts. danke =)
Diese Videos von Ihnen sind sehr interessant!!Vielen Dank und ich erwarte mehr
I was in Germany in December and I got so many stares, I thought it was adorable. As an American it's rude to stare but we make eye contact when talking to each other.
1:36 die besten klos
da spritzt einem kein wasser an den hintern
American here. I also schedule everything on my calendar, even leisure time. I used to get upset when my schedule was altered by unforeseen circumstances, but I realized that life doesn't care about my schedule, so I'm much more relaxed now. But I still schedule everything.
Thank you for the video.
I wasn't aware of the zillion insurances that one must have, until I moved to Germany.
Cari: I am absolutely thrilled with your wonderful presentations.
Das Lüften ist weil die Häuser alle aus Stein und Beton sind. In einem Holzhaus, wie die meisten in Amerika, braucht man das nicht. Aber als ich in Landshut (Niederbayern) wohnte, stand auch bei mir im Mietvertrag, daß man jeden Tag die Wohnung gut lüften musste, und sogar 30cm Abstand zwischen der Wand und den Schränken halten musste (im ersten Jahr -- nach einem Jahr musste der Abstand nicht so weit sein).
Vielen Dank cari für das wunderbare Video
Cari, du bist so freundlich!
LoveCari aus Indonesien 💕
Whenever i come back to UK from Germany i'm always amazed more people are'nt knocked down crossing the road on a red light! Never have i found a warm beer anywhere in Germany(thank god!) I also love that Germans are more direct & honest than many of their British counterparts...
In Odenwald, Germany, we have warm Bembel (Apfelwein).
Americans say, that a drink is warm, if there are no ice inside. But our drinks are cold from fridge. That's cold enough I think.
@@juwen7908 Yes, that's cold enough. I don't like frozen water in my beverages, thank you! I ordered a soft drink, not an iceberg.
This is really fun to me-if I read the German subtitles and listen to them speaking, I can actually understand most of this. It is extremely interesting to listen to the colloquialisms and idiom of German...you absolutely cannot learn that from a book! Thank you so much for the fun videos!!
Ich als Schweizerin finde, dass ihr Deutschen immer so eine positive Einstellung habt. Auch wenn ihr was beschreibt, oder von etwas redet, dann ist das immer so mit einer Freude verbunden. Ihr seit auch viel offener und lacht irgendwie mehr über Fehler als wir.. Da könnten wir wirklich manchmal eine Scheibe davon abschneiden... Achja und ihr seit extrem gute Berater und sehr Gastfreundlich!!!🤪👍 So und jetzt bitte nur noch gute Vorurteile gegenüber uns netten 🇨🇭🤪
Ich dachte immer ihr wärd die ausgeglicheren
i went to munchen this year to visit a friend and i have to admit people were way friendlier, warmer and more polite than i could imagine. i really liked it!
the only thing that bothered me was that everytime i tried to speak german they would answer in english, showing that i am an anfanger and shouldn't speak or sth.
even one time i just said "vielen dank and the kellner answered "you're welcome". i mean common :P otherwise great ppl and outgoing i would say, and i am greek
I knoooow many people complain about the fact that Germans like to answer in English - but please don't think that all those people do not appreciate your German. I bet that most people are rather trying to be polite, trying to reducing your efforts and at the same time a little bit proud to speak in English (just as you are speaking in German :) - I know that doesn't help either, but try to see it from that side next time it happens :)
fair point! didn't think of it that way! thnx a lot for your answer and your effort in this channel your work is amazing and very helpful!
Rita, I can only echo what Carina has said. In spite of having had a number of years of German study and a German penpal who knows hardly any English, the two times that I've been to Germany as an adult have been wonderful experiences with friendly people and the minute they knew that I was an English-speaker, they wanted to use their English as much as I wanted to use my German! And their English was usually much, much more practiced and polished than my German. (Sigh.)
I found this to be the case in Munich and especially in Berlin in neighborhoods with a lot of people of different origins. I figured they wanted to practice/make it easier, but it is super frustrating - almost implying that your German is total Scheisse. One Kellner asked me if I wanted to speak in English or Deutsch..and I had to fall back to English for the rest of our travel group - at least she asked!
Demi Mour
That happened to me in Norway as well. It's not a Germany-exclusive thing that people tend to answer in English.
To me the lady is very joly, merry, happy and that is not what I expect from a German person, the gentleman is more like what I expected. But I like you both! :)
true...shes not typisch Deutsch :v shes 1 in billion hahah
That's what I totally like about her..she is relaxed and has humor..some germans I meet are uptight and win bisschen nervos...she's totally cool though, geil which really has made Easy German so popular on RUclips
Sehr lustig und interresant! Danke schoen fuer das Video!
oohh ich liebe deine Videos sehr
One day, I can understand all this conversation
Some things I associate with Germany:
- Saure Gurken
- Der SamstagsKrimi
- Die Natur
Sonntagskrimi ist noch typischer.
8:17 Stimmt. Ist halt Tradition, bei uns ertönen bis in die heutige Zeit samstags um 17.00 h die Kirchenglocken, um den Beginn des Sonnabends und das Ende des Arbeits-Samstags anzuzeigen.
DANKE DANKE DANKE Carina für diese tollen Videos :-)
Ich bin in Manuel verliebt! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Er sieht gut aus nicht?
Oh ja. 😍
Yesss, the staring thing! Das stimmt so hard. The first time I went to Germany I would get really weirded because everyone was staring so blatantly at me on the bus. 😂😂 To be fair, it wasn't a very international city (like Berlin, for example) so maybe people just weren't used to seeing an Asian face on the bus :P But in New Zealand, where I'm from, people would at least try to not make it so obvious that they were staring. At first it made me super self-conscious but after a while I started staring back just to see what would happen 😂😂 Turns out, most people do look away if you stare back at them long enough! ;)
Jesus, go to Asia and everyone stares at you (as a European). When I was in Kyoto they even made pictures of us in front of a temple. "Staring thing" dear god......
Hey, no problem. If someone stares at you, blow them a kiss and wink at them. Guess what? They soon stop staring at you. 😁
You just has to know, it's no offence to you. Just a sign of being interested to you. The americans making Smalltalk with strangers, because they're interested and that's the shy german version of that. Give them a smile and maybe you get a smile back. 😃
My Mexican friend here in Munich says the same thing! But probably I don´t realize it because probably we Italians do it also!
hahaha
I so appreciate your subtitles. In fact, I wish I could have access to your subtitles in transcript form. It would be so useful to go back and study your sentences, without having to constantly pause the video to read them, because I am so slow.
You are spot on ,all so true. Love your voice Cari....come have Kaffee MIT mir in Pennsylvania some day..😎😃😍
I love ur sense of humor 😂
Even the information in this video is so efficiently organized and presented... typically german haha
The traffic lights thing is very true. In the UK, it is pretty much up to your discretion when to cross. So, when I came to Germany I thought it would be the same and went to cross an empty street when it was a red man, only to find my German girlfriend pulling me back by the arm and telling me I "need to wait. You always need to wait. It's the rules."
I only really obey those rules when she's around though.
This to me is hilarious. My English teacher once gave us an assignment when we talked about cultural differences in class (he was Canadian, being married to a German, so his insights were awesome).
We had to form a hypothesis and prove or disprove it. Seeing as I had the topic "German pedestrians" I hypothesised that at a red pedestrian light a) women were more likely to stop than men and b) almost everyone would stop if there was a child (child being someone who looked to me under the age of 15 or something like that, basically not teenagers; but especially small children).
And my hypotheses were proven right.
Why am I telling you this? See, I was standing in my city centre in the middle of a really cold Saturday in November, freezing my behind off while watching people. I witnessed multiple times, that when couples wanted to cross, when there was a red light, the guy would march on and the woman almost ripping his arm out or getting hers almost ripped out in holding back their better half. They all got scolded by their girlfriends or at least received the stink eye. They all waited for green after that (except that one guy, his girlfriend almost fell over her feet getting dragged across the street).
So your comment brought me back to that cold day in November! xD
I went to Berlin a couple of months ago and was surprised by this. The really strange thing is if there's a car coming the other way turning right, then it's allowed to go at the same moment the pedestrian light turns green. So you stand for a couple of minutes looking at an empty road and then as soon as you're signaled to go and step into the street you almost get run over.
ChilyAnt In the US I think most people would wait for the light, unless they were out in the country. Running a red light is a big deal and recently more and more lights have cameras, so a cop doesn’t even have to catch you.
the traffic lights thing. If its night time and theres hardly anyone around and very few cars, i see most people crossing when they want. Also as the video eluded, the more international and large the german city the less the red lights thing is an issue. In part of berlin and hamburg, people cross when they want as they would in UK or any other country. But obviously in most of germany its a No-No.
My theory is that you have to set an example for little kids who might copy your behaviour. They don't have the green cross code in Germany.
The best one is zur last one! 😁😂 I agree, totally. It's soo interesting, what they think about our music or social life ...
For an Aspie barely surviving in Central Asian chaos, Germany sounds like heaven on Earth :)
I live in The Czech Republic and it's fascinating to see how so similar the Czech way of doing things is to the German. Almost everything they're saying in this segment is true for Czechs. Not surprising, given that a) they were under the Austrians for centuries, and b) Germany is 1 of our neighbours and still heavily influences a lot of business and economic things concerning Czech life. Whilst card use is more common now, here especially in the bigger cities, the other aspects -- being asked if haven't you the correct change or, getting annoyed looks for paying for something with a big bill -- are the same. Must be a Central European/Eastern European cultural phenomena -- although technically, Germany's more considered part of Western Europe, I know.
Ein Thema fehlt noch - "Immer mit Amerika vergleichen"! :D
Ja, aber welche Nation macht das nicht, wenn man so daran denkt, nä? Die US übt nun mal den größten Einfluss auf andere Kulturen.
Sir erlauben das. Filme kommen von us. Ohne. Ende. Was lassen amerikaner herein? Denken. Nicht viel. Das heisst. Kaum. Seit 70 jahren. Je eine deutsche amerik. Liebesfilm? Nein. Immer franz ital oder Brit. Denke....und das seit jahren. Nun. Wundern sie sich das der amerikaner dominiert? Mein mann sagte Mir das. Run amerikaner. Voila. Da ist es keiner denkt...
Ein tolles Video!!
Easy German is a very good program to learn German. It would be good if the translation is clear always as it becomes blur sometimes. Hope you guys can look into it. Thanks :)
Ahhh!!! Das macht mir echt nostalgisch für mein Leben in Deutschland! :'(
Plötzlich kommt mir vor dass ich vielleicht doch in Deutschland besser passe. Ich bin auch pünktlich, seriös, effizient, und kann nicht tanzen.
Magst du Bier und Verbote?
Yeah!!! Manuel ist wieder da! Ich wartete darauf, ihn zu sehen.
Sehr gut, vielen Dank
Both of you are kind and smart
Sehr cooles Video, ihr beiden!Ich muss sagen, ich habe echt gestaunt, wie viel deutsches Kulturgut ich doch in mir trage, obwohl ich von mir selbst immer sage, ich bin eher türkisch. Vor allem an der Stelle mit dem Joggen-in-den-Kalender-schreiben musste ich echt lachen, mega lustig! :D Und ich habe bei mir selbst tatsächlich auch gemerkt, dass ich selbst bei Freizeitaktivitäten nicht so "frei" bin, sondern mir manchmal sogar denke "Soo, jetzt sitzt du hier (im Café oder so) schon 2 Stunden, so langsam könntest du auch wieder gehen"- Kennt das jemand? Richtig krank! :DIch hab' noch etwas typisch Deutsches: die Rechtschreibung! Es können bei weitem nicht alle sehr gut schreiben, aber es wird sehr viel mehr Wert darauf gelegt, wodurch es auch mehr Leute können. Im türkischen Kontext z.B. ist das gar nicht so. Ach, und was ich bei mir außer der fehlenden Spontanität gemerkt habe, ist, dass ich auch sehr direkt bin. Hier kommt es: Manuel, du bist mir sehr sympathisch! :DPS: Sorry für den Roman.
Danke Hayali 😍 - aber die Situation im Cafe verstehe ich nicht ganz 😂.
Also du sitzt mit Freunden im Cafe und denkst, die könnten doch langsam wieder abhauen? 😂
Nein, nein! :D Ich denke mir nicht, die könnten langsam mal abhauen, sondern habe selbst quasi fast ein schlechtes Gewissen, wenn ich einfach nur stundenlang dasitze und beispielsweise den ganzen Tag "verschwende". :D Das tun manche Freunde in der Türkei. Ich könnte einfach nicht nur ein Getränk bestellen, es austrinken und dann noch 3 Stunden da sitzenbleiben. Zumindest würde ich noch was bestellen, um was gegen mein schlechtes Gewissen zu tun. :D Ich brauche da allg. sowas wie ein Zeitlimit, glaub ich. Ich muss also scheinbar wissen, wann das Chillen ein Ende hat, obwohl es mir ja eigentlich Spaß macht. :D Wieder ein Roman :D
Hahaha, ja das kenn ich. Ich geh selten Kaffee trinken 😂
"Ich überlege mir noch"
Mein Lieblingssatz, den ich täglich mindestens 10mal höre :D
Das ist bestimmt, weil wir nicht gern Zusagen später absagen wollen.
Hallo Cari und Janusch! Vielen Dank für "Easy german"! Ich gucke das Programm jedes mal und denke wie ich will euch kennenzulernen! Ihr seid geil :) Ich wollte über meine "typisch deutsch" Erfahrung erzählen. Alle meine Bekannte Mädels aus Deutschland haben immer dabei drei Sachen: Wasserflasche(kann leer sein), Strümpfe(auf Zufall von spontanes kalt) und Schal. Liebe Grüße aus Russland und Sibirien!
One thing I noticed from my late Opa and a few other german descendants in Brazil, is that when they wash dishes, they fill up the sink with water and soap, then just wash them there, without rinsing it afterwards. Not very clean to me :P
Mehr Videos mit Manuel, bitte! :)
Und mit Cari auch!
that's it, I've been a German my whole life without knowing it
Excelent! Danke!
Im from Colombia but live in England and travel to Berlin often and I must admit Germans have become my favourite people, they are radically honest, I find this incredibly refreshing! I always ask what is german sense of humour? until now I hven't had an answer...
