Ich liebe diese Episoden, sie erinnern mich irgendwie an mein eigenes Land, denn bis jetzt ist es noch getrennt
best episode IMO. Very emotional. One can only remotely grasp the feeling of the wall's fall for Germans, but here is some great insight. Even the Korean girl's appearance at the end was a very worthy bonus track.
Mein Geschichtslehrer ist der Präsident des Vereins Berliner Geschichtslehrer und erzählte uns, dass einmal südkoreanische Geschichtslehrer zu Besuch in Berlin waren und nach einem guten Rezept für eine Wiedervereinigung fragten. Diese Gruppe besuchte einige Städte in Deutschland aber auch Warschau, um die Polen zu fragen, wie sie die deutsche Wiedervereinigung aufgenommen haben. My history teacher is the president of the club of Berlin history teachers and he told us that once, South Korean history teachers visited Berlin and asked for a recipe for a good reunification. This group visited some cities in Germany but also Warsaw to ask the Polish how they felt about the reunification of Germany.
I was last in Berlin in 1988. I crossed into East Berlin through Checkpoint Charlie and spent the evening in a pub in East Berlin. I still have not seen Berlin without the wall. I hope to go back there this summer with my daughter.
Mir sind auch die Tränen gekommen als ich den Mauerfall in Dokus erlebte.. Obwohl ich damals noch nicht geboren war. Einer meiner Lieblingsmoment in moderner Geschichte ♥♥
Wenn immer ich die Erinnerungen der Westdeutschen oder Ostdeutschen über DDR, Berliner Mauer oder Mauerfall höre, kriege ich immer noch Gänsehaut. 😱 Es könnte daran liegen, dass ich viele Dokus, Filme und Serien gesehen habe, weil ich mich für Geschichte interessiere. 🤗 Eastside Gallery, Mauerpark und DDR Museum wurden von mir schon besucht. Ich fühle mich sehr glücklich, dass ich diese Orte besucht hab. Wenn man die Geschichte besser erleben möchte, sollte man unbedingt Berlin sehen. Aber nicht angesichts des Tourismus, sondern angesichts der Geschichte einer National. Inzwischen fällt mir gerade eine Frage: Wie wäre es gewesen, ein Deutschland ohne DDR, ohne Mauer, ohne nicht vier geteilte Berlin? Dann wäre Deutschland in allem Sinne Weltmeister gewesen, wenn ich mir vorstelle. 😮
Ich habe nicht nur Deutsch geübt, sondern auch etwas über die Geschichte der Berliner Mauer gelernt. Sehr interesant und emotional! Ich liebe dieses Easy German Videos!
Die letzte 10 Sekunden sind die BESTEN!
oh hey s/o to south korean lady at the end, im tryna learn korean! also its so amazing how for some younger people the reunification is just history but its still so recent... i hope i get to experience something like that!

By far the most important, and for me the most enjoyable episode.
Cari, wir im Westen (Kanada) waren auch überrascht. Es freut uns sehr und hoffen auf eine Zeit ohne Angst und dass alle Menschen vielleicht in Frieden zusammenleben könnten. Das könnte eine Möglichkeit werden.
Such an amazing video! You know, Robert Kennedy, brother of John F Kennedy who was so admired by Berliners, once said "It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." When I think about what happened on that night and in subsequent weeks it's clear that this was such a time in German history. After so many years separated a nation, a people became whole again.
What an emotional content, loved it!! I watched it after watching your newest video on East West differences! Perhaps you could do this again on November 9th this year or something similar! I am from Romania, I remember how i was 4 years old and my mother broke into tears as they knocked down the communist regime at the Revolution in '89, we ran onto the balcony and there were people all over the streets yelling and celebrating!
Die Episode um die Mauer is die Beste!! Cari hats sehr gut gemacht.
What a fantastic episode! Tolles Video!! Brought back memories of being a kid, watching the news coverage with my parents. I was touched by the stories. Great job, Cari and the crew of Easy German...vielen dank!!
Eine Tolle Episode, vielen Dank dafür Grüse aus der Tschechische Republik : ) !!!
Makes me cry tears of joy this video - I went to the DDR from the west in 85/86.....great video
Wow this episode gave me chills! One of my favorites!
so interesting! well done , really appreciate the old footage
02:55 Als ein türkischer, brachte es mich zum weinen... Sehr emotional... Ich wünsche noch die Vereinigung von koreanische Staaten auch. Daumen drücken.
That was an amazing episode! Super toll! It's marvellous to see how the german people got reunited after such a long period of separation... I hope I can get to know the remaining parts of the Berlin Wall as soon as I visit Germany :) Danke schön!
Klasse! Am besten Folge.
This is just fantastic. Well done. Thank you.
das ist dramatic folge.... inspiring me !! i always watching every episode und lernen über deutsch sprechen.. danke danke und viel viel dank fur ihre 😊
I love watch "easy german"; I hope a day a episode in the Brazil or least, in other country latin america.
amazing video..I got a goosebump!
Even Germany and Vietnam had two different way of reunification, I still partially found the coincidence of joy and happiness between people. Hope that in the near future, Korea can find out a peaceful way of reunification. :)
This episode is really good. I can learn German and the history at the same time. Thank you very much, Vielen Dank, Terima kasih banyak !
Carina, you are very pretty! Wonderful smile! 😍Thank you for the videos!!!
Die liebe meines lebens ...toll !
*This is very interesting... I really enjoy it_*
DER Mauerfall ist eine unvergessliche Erfahrung. WIEDERvereinigtes Deutschland macht mir grosse Freude.Ich erinnere mich an mein Studentenleben in Berlin.Ja, ich habe noch einen Koffer in Berlin.Gibt es Mauer Im herzn der Buerger?
Ich finde Berlin total fantastisch :) Auch mit ihrer Geschichte.
Schon vor 25 Jahres! Wir, Koreaner, beneiden Ihr Glueck. Wir sind noch Zwei. Eine dumme Geschichte!
Danke für der Video
emotional time indeed
Danke für Alls ich lernen viele
The thing with the bananas was apparently a running gag. I wasn't born yet but if you look at that old broadcast you can see it in the way the peeps look at each other like "What? We're free? For reals this time?"
Ich war in Berlin in 2011. Wunderbar Stadt, aber nur jeztz habe ich Deustch lernen angefangen. Mir tut es leid wenn schlecht mein Deustch ist
Mir gefaellt sehr Easy German
Ich mochte das Ende, wenn die koreanische Mädchen trafen Cari (I don´t know if I wrote this comment correctly, haha) I liked the end, when the corean girl met Cari. :3
Is there a specific dialect in Cologne, or do they speak what you could call "standard" German? Also, which cities speak the closest to the standard version of German?

In Cologne people speak "Kölsch". There is lots of material online: www.koelsch-woerterbuch.de - But of course, we need to do an episode about it soon :) About the city that they say off that it speaks closest to standard: they say its Hanover :)

Klar. Über unsere Website www.easy-languages.org. Leider ist diese gerade "under construction". Aber nächste Woche sollte sie wieder funktionieren :)
Some of the people use Präteritum like fiel, rief. I thought they are not much used in spoken German. Is it a Berliner thing, or an age thing, or an education thing, or ....
wenn ich immer jm über Mauerfall mit mir redet oder aus fernsehensehe ich erinnere ich mich sofort an KURDISTAN und mir die trennem gekommen ich hoffe dass eines teges Kurdistan und die kurdin eigene Staat haben wie alle
I was there on the day. By the Wall. A great time. But the West Germans were a bit patronising to the East German on the day giving them Bannas and their 100DM that the government paid to East Germans that came over. But overall a great celebration. Likewise in the reunification of Germany the next year on Silvesterabend in Berlin was a wonderful time.

Is it recommended to read the German subtitles or just hear what they're saying?

that depends on what level you're at. if you feel confident just listening to the audio, good for you! but if you're more of an intermediate learner like myself, you may have to follow along with the subtitles to understand. maybe a combination of both approaches will work for you. the great thing about easy languages is that you get to choose your own approach to learning!

Schon ...Danke

Berliners say "letztendlich" instead of "schliesslich". Has anyone else noticed that?

"Schließlich" and "letztendlich" are interchangeable, regardless of where in Germany you're from. It's done everywhere, not just in Berlin.

+tromboneJTS The word 'letztendlich' is used in this case, because the fall of the wall was the final act after a long period of a divided German nation. If you use 'schließlich' there is a possibility that there is a step after it, while using 'letztendlich' it is semantically clear there is no next step (the German nation was no longer divided). So, most of the time 'schließlich/letztendlich' are interchangeable, but there is a slightly semantic difference.
