I lived in Germany for 28 years and I loved every minute of my life there. I lived in two small villages and one fairly large town. I loved the German's organizational skills. I liked their directness. If I asked a neighbor a question they gave me a very direct and correct answer. I had three beautiful German Warm blood horses and my neighbor told me to make sure that I paid the local vet on the spot because if he had to send me a bill it would cost more. I truly miss Germany and the wonderful German people.

The most misleading and false stereotype is that germans don't have humor. That's a stereotype that others (Britons) have about us and it seems that some people have taken it on board. We do have a great sense of humor. It's just more subtle and dry and interwoven in our language...Play upon words, double meanings.... Often hard to translate and to understand for foreigners.

I'm a Luxembourger squeezed between huge neighbours (France, Germany and Belgium), I like all of those peoples, but I prefer the Germans by far. Most of all those near our border, the Palatines, the Eifeler, the Moseler and the Saarländer are a bunch of jolly people. They're down-home, committed to high quality work but also fun-loving and bon vivant. They're very self-critical and I think that is what makes them thrive and prosper. And they're solidary. I met a lot of firm owners (famous Mittelstand), and they were all very conscious about the influence of the well-being of their workers on their performance.

I must say I'm proud of my fellow Germans for their English knowledge👏 In any other case you would probably sub or dub what the native speakers of another language have to say about a topic

That girls ice cream is going to melt...

I met a German guy once, and he was the most kind person that I've ever met. So he now is my stereotypical German.

Here is what I think as a foreigner. 1. Routines: Fixed routines planned in advance. Like predictability and dependability. Uncomfortable with the unknown and foreign. 2. Direct: Direct in what they think but not always with what they feel. Will not reveal inner emotions to people they are not close to. Will hide their weaknesses in public. This makes them appear strict. 3. Strict separation of private and public life. Colleagues might have worked for 30 years with each other but know almost nothing about each other except work. 4. Opinionated: Especially older people will generally stick to what they already know even though it might be very little. Like to see things orderly. So everything is either right or wrong and there is little nuance in a discussion. 5. Envy: Always compare themselves with the neighbours and friends. Who has the better car, house etc. 6. German humour is directed at others and not at themselves. 7. Complaining: This is a way to police each other. 8. Conformity: Most conform to a particular pattern of life and stick to it. May not like to give up control.

And they say Americans are self centered lol

COMMON SENSE Well Germany won the European Championship of American Football in 2001, 2010 and 2014 so you have a point.

I trained in germany for machining work for 2 weeks. They were less effecient but more orderly if that makes any sense. People were expected to just run 1 kind of machine instead of knowing an entire department. Things were cleaner, better organized. Managent was involved more with the processes, but micromanaged the tools rather than the people. It all just seemed kind of automated in a way, optimal in process efficiency but not squeezing every drop out of each worker the way that I'm used to. Very interesting and probably healthier for the long term.

I don't like the language, because i have to learn it in school and it's a really complicated language for dutch children to learn. And almost no one in my class understands it😂. But i love how clean they are😂 And Berlin of course💕 ughh beautiful city!👌

I can't share the opinions of those people, but it's typical for Berlin. If you would ask that question in Cologne or Hamburg, you would get totally different answers, i bet. There is too much stereotyping in what they say.

my teachers arent much on time. There is one teacher who is a mother of 3 and she is almost never at work. Never. And she doesnt inform us about it. And whats worse is that we come in the morning only to find out we came in vain and we wait for 70 minutes for another classes. Last year she came MAYBE for 2 months all together. And she doesnt know whos the president of germany lolol

Should make visiting Germany more pleasant than my perception of German hospitality. Everybody that Yafa talked to seemed like very nice persons. Hopefully it wasn't editing, but reality.

You guys probably just think you are unpunctual. If you come 10 minutes late to a meeting you'll get death stares. If the bus or train is delayed by 10 minutes German people consider that late and begin to grumble. Whereas that sense of time would be way different for other cultures. I once took a train in Vietnam which arrived 1 hour before departure and thought "damn they pretty on time here" when I realised that train was actually the one from the previous day and just 1 day delayed.

It is funny to watch this in contract to their view of Americans. Good luck with your perfect, timely, and precise choice of Angela Merkel. One thing Americans do well is self criticize and reflect. Our system isn't perfect and breeds a lot of self ridiculousness but we back it up with results... Our ship will right itself without the need for intervention of other countries. Your ship, the Euro, might be in need of some heavy repairs about now, and I like Germany... Good luck, please save your country.

Americans and self critisist? Sorry, but to me it seems, like the only thing you guys care about ist waving your flag and shouting "America first". Not about politics or something but about your patriotism...

Very well organized no nonsense people

I have to be on time on schedule, know what's coming, have a plan, and I hate it. I have always wondered why I was like that. Could it be that I'm 3rd generation German amercian?

"Germans have control issues that run really deep in our culture." No kidding.

Im from Bavaria but im more like an American then a German because of the huge influence in my Childhood I Skate ..I dont like the German Language ..My 2 Ex GF where American I always watch Shows in English ...I love American Food....America has a fucked up History ...Germany has a fucked up History ...there are stupid rasist People in every Country...but also really good and friendly people Can we stop the bashing and learn to respect eathother .

I'm German and I have lived in North and South Germany. The way I got to know Germans: North Germans seem more distant and even kinda shy in the beginning or when you only know them from the distance. After breaking the ice North German people will become your closest and dearest friends... maybe for lifetime. South Germans seem to be more open to strangers.. at least in the beginning but it's all in a very superficial way. Not that "honest" like the North is. There is more sugar-coating behaviour. It's very very difficult to start "really" deep friendships with South Germans. To them it's more like "my closest friends are the people that I grew up with in my town and that are from the same place." They are nice to foreigners in small talks (around the Lake Constance they even call North Germans "foreigners" sometimes) but you probably won't become their "friend".

Is this completely recorded in Berlin? Some people in this video speak such a perfect english. The woman with glasses and necklace for instance.

fruchtbeavis most of the Germans can speak English very well. Especially younger people have a good English because this language got very important since the 90s. For a few years german children learn english since the first grade so they have to learn it for at least 10 years. (Most children learn it for 12/13 years) English is also very important in the internet because we watch lots of english series and films or watch english you tube videos. Generally you can get many problems if you aren't able to speak English.

anastácia. Indeed German, but I'm actually unemployed (cuz I'm 18) so I wouldn't necessarily say I work hard. As for the comparisons between nations I think it's a bit superficial to base diligence only on actual hours worked. There are other factors that contribute to that construct, like productivity for example (how much shit do you get done in your hours worked).

@anastaciarabelomelo

Totally agree with you. I've talked to people who worked in Germany and other countries throughout their lifes, and they said germans don't work harder than any other nations (of course on average). That beeing said, it is just a stereotype that germans work so damn hard, they work like everybody else.
