The saddest thing about me learning german is that, when I learned english or french, or even when I was trying to speak spanish I was never forced to learn how to scream back at people just because they are mean to you. But unfortunately I had to learn this here in Germany and I find it just very sad because it says a lot about the culture.

9:00 Carina teaches how to speak, Janusz teaches how to live! Love you guys!

I caught a bus in Berlin and told the driver where i needed to go. My German is probably as good as most five year olds. He was so angry that i was not a 'Berliner' ( a doughnut) that he interrupted me and shouted in my face " NUR DEUTSCH NUR DEUTSCH !" I then answered " Das war meine Deutsch ! Es ist ein bischen langweilig und einfach ABER ES IST DEUTSCH!" The best thing happened then- the people on the bus applauded me ! I am not usually so brave but he made me so angry! It seems crazy that the bus drivers are so rude when they are picking up people from the Hauptnahnhof from all over the world, who speak no german :( I understand everything must run on time, everything must be efficient ( my mother is swiss so i get it !( but i only said a few words before he shot me down. I still go to germany whenever i can ( I live in australia) but not Berlin.

Of course. You are wasting their time. In most places in Germany you have a menu laying or hanging around somewhere (except actual/fine restaurants). Read it first, decide what you want and than get in line and/or order the food. The same reason is why Germans are annoyed when you take extra time at a checkout of a super market. To a german it’s like you are saying: “my time is more worth than all of those who are waiting behind me together. So it’s totally fine that i waste theirs.” Of course you don’t mean it that way. But Germans just don’t want to waste the time of others, and if you do it, you seem to them as being extremely rude and selfish. (The same reasoning goes btw for why they/we respect traffic lights etc. so much) (And if your are in a restaurant and encounter this problem, normally you get the menu and only order drinks right away (no need to order food). You than should than have plenty of time till he gets back with the drinks (they take extra long for that) to decide what you want to eat)

Go Janusz! I'm 26 and doing my second Master's in Germany. I'm staying in a dormitory which is divided into separate WGs. My bed is kind of wobbly and I didn't want to sleep on it, so I put the bed to the WGs corridor (where it was for months and my flatmates never had a problem with it) and I kept only the mattress in my room and I sleep on it. Once I asked the Hausmeister to fix something in my room. He came and he saw the mattress on the floor. And he started yelling at me (in German) for not sleeping on the bed and saying something like "This is not a camp! You must sleep on the bed!" I just stood there and felt like I was 6, I had no idea what the hell am I supposed to respond. I just said that I do not understand why I should sleep on the bed if I don't want to and that I will do what I want. To which he thought for a moment and then hit me with the most German thing ever "It's against the fire regulations". So I wish I knew at the moment to say what Janusz said in this video. Also about the cycle lanes - one thing that I find weird that Germans do - give you stares and yell at you if you happen to stand or even step on it. But then they cycle on sidewalks or the road. NEXT TO the cycle lane. WHY?! And when they zoom past you in full speed on a sidewalk from behind, they don't even use the bell. Ever.

What even I as a German find wiered: If you meet Germans on vacation in a foreign country, they allways say: 'Oh, you're Germans too! Let's do something together!' (Works with Austrians too.) But in Germany they are like: 'Ok, you're wiered talking to me, I don't know you, what do you want? And by the way you're from Bavaria, from East-Germany etc. - you're different... " :P

Danke schön für alles der gantze videos ihr machen! Ich habe jetzt deine Seedlang APP downloaded in mein Handy :)

The bicycle thing is super annoying because they ring their bells immediately when you are even 1cm in the bike lane, while oftentimes people cycle on the sidewalk, sometimes even when there is a bike lane on the street, which is definitely not allowed unless you are a small child. So I am usually the one giving death stares as a pedestrian. But I think the real problem is bad city planning in germany. Bike lanes are too often built by stealing from the sidewalk instead of stealing from the car lanes. Bikes are supposed to remove cars from the street, not the people.

Als ich in Deutschland gewohnt habe, ich war total ueberascht das zu meinem Geburtstag ich Getraenke ausgeben sollte und ein Kuchen selber backen und nach meinen Arbeit bringen muesste (statt umgekehrt). …Das fand ich total komisch! (Mein Deutscher Ehemann sagte “Man muss Leuten zeigen, dass es gut ist, dass man geboren war.”). Haha =)

Oh, nicht nur dir! Früher als ich noch zur Grundschule ging, sollte jedes Kind zum Geburtstag ein Kuchen backen, wenn es Geburstag hat. Das fand ich da schon merkwürdig. Aber das ist auf keinen Fall etwas schlechtes. Zumal ich eh nie Kuchen backen brauchte, da ich immer in den Sommerferien Geburtstag hatte :D

Zuerst möchte ich sagen,dass Sie super gesprochen haben🤩❤️ Die Weise Ihre Erklärung gefällt mir am besten. Als ich in Deutschland war, ist nichts komisches passiert .aber doch eine tolle Erfahrung will ich mitteilen . Ich war in einem Geschäft und wollte etwas typisches kaufen. Z.B Seife oder Zahnepaste. Ich konnte das nicht finden. Aber eine alte Dame hat mir dabei geholfen. Sie hat ihre Tüte auf dem boden gestellt. Eine Brille aus ihre Tasche genommen und mit mir hier und da gekommen. Nur weil ich etwas richtiges bekommen soll. Leider gab es keine Seife dort. Später hat sie mir empfohlen, Duschgel zu kaufen. Und zur Überraschung hat sie die Bestandeile gelesen und eine 'ohne Chemikaliene' duschgel für mich gefunden. Das alles hat 10 minuten gedauert. Eine nette Frau, die ihre Zeit für mich gegeben hat. ( Obwohl die deutsche viel auf eigene Zeit achten) 🙈lange geschichte oder? Liebe aus Indien❤️

Freut mich das du so gute Erfahrung gemacht hast. Du kannst aber sehr gut deutsch. Hast du mal in Deutschland gelebt?

This Easy German channel that you do is wonderful. My grandparents came to the USA from Germany and so I heard it spoken from the time I was small. I took a gap year before college and worked as an assistant to a kindergarten teacher in Austria. I still have second cousins in Germany and we are good friends. I very much want to maintain what I call my "baby German" ability. Thank you so very much for what you do!!!

Ehrlich gesagt habe ich viel beim Schauen dieses Videos gelacht, weil ich selbst alle im Video aufgelisteten Dinge erlebt habe, als ich in Deutschland war. Das war zwar vor 10 Jahren, aber es hat sich nichts verändert! Ich möchte euch beiden für coole Videos danken! Ihr habt wirklich eine schwere, aber sehr hilfreiche Arbeit gemacht! Ich benutze oft eure Videos in meinem Deutschunterricht! Meine Schüler finden sie echt cool! Danke!

Germans love to "social police" one another. While filling-up at the gas station, two women got into it, when one talked on her phone and removed the nozzle. The other woman called her the "c" word in German, that is the "f" word. She was screaming about blowing us all up, because the phone could ignite the gas fumes. Yikes!

Obwohl ich Deutscher bin, finde ich Eure Videos immer sehr interessant und unterhaltend. Bitte noch mehrere Teil von dieser Folge!!

Tolles Video! -- "Und jetzt haben wir den Salad!" und "etw. im Urin spüren" sind zwei Redewendungen, die ich einfach nicht verstehen kann.

I enjoy watching and learning from your channel! I wish to have something to say about Germans but I never been to Germany nor met a German! So I’m aware for future references. 🙃

I wouldn't find the nose-blowing thing weird a year ago, but in post-covid times seeing that in public would make my brain's red alerts go *wild* 👀😂

Ich liebe es mit Leuten zu reden die deutsch lernen. Da entstehen oft lustige Gespräche

Vielen Dank an Janusz für diese Lektion über Verhalten 😁

I was always thankful when people corrected my german everywhere I went...I mean everywhere...a store, doctors office, a restaurant...simply everywhere and I was praised with my progress like everybody cared that I don't speak broken german. Very kind ... I realize it comes from the love for german language. In Canada nobody gives a @#@ unless they don't understand, which many times doesn't matter either because important is who you are not what you say. If you are nobody who cares what or how you say. Here knowledge is not dispersed freely, people guard what they know and even university professors keep their secret info from students. Not to mention opening their mouth for free and helping somebody....nah, nothing is free. Janusz, seriously: how lucky you are that you haven't reached your primary destination. I appreciate you very much! Best of Luck!

My best moment in München was when we got lost and a native saw us looking at google maps and came up and asked in German if he could help. We actually had the whole conversation in German, even after asking where we were from (he was surprised we were Amerikaner). My husband was surprised that I was able to understand the complicated directions. And Berlin native speaking taxi drivers ALWAYS correct your pronunciation--I found that out my first trip to the city.

Loved this video!

About 35 years ago, I had an experience in Austria that was strange, but typical of DE/A/CH. I was taking the train from German to visit friends in Graz. I was running late that day and wanted to phone ahead to let my friends know when I would finally be arriving. I had to make a transfer in Austria and had about 10 minute between trains to make a call. This was before mobile phones, so I was using a pay phone. Dialing anywhere in Europe was confusing (and still is)... use a country code? use a regional code? what is the regional code? precede the whole meets with a 1? a 0? You get the picture. I tried a couple of the available permutations, before finally seeking outside help. I went to the local information office for help. After establishing that we could communicate in English, I asked if they knew the correct number combination for making the connection to Graz. The info booth guy said that he did, but that telephone service was under the authority of the post office and that I would have to get my information next door at the post office. Needless to say, I never made the phone call. This was classic. On my subsequent 20+ trips to German speaking countries, I have run into the "not my job" situation on occasion and it seems like these people get some strange/sick satisfaction from being able to "officially" deny help to someone.

Seit Langem habe ich heute wieder mal ein Easy German Video geguckt. Super Folgen für's Deutsch lernen. Eure Videos habe ich in meinen ersten Jahren in Deutschland, also 2016, 2017 und 2018 sehr gerne geschaut und sie waren super hilfreich, um mein Deutsch zu verbessern... Danke dafür und macht weiter so!! Heute habe ich (leider) nicht die Zeit dafür, mir jedes eurer Videos anzuschauen... hab' mittlerweile n' Studium aufgenommen🙈. Euch wünsche ich auf jeden Fall viel Erfolg und alles Gute weiterhin und wer weiß, vielleicht läuft man sich mal irgendwo auf den Weg in Berlin, wenn es bald hoffentlich wieder Normalität herrscht.✌✌

Ich liebe, wie Kari Englisch ausspricht. Mehr bitte

Das Umgehen mit der NACKTHEIT. Zum Beispiel: als ich in Berlin gelebt habe, haben mir viele Männer einfach auf der Straße angesprochen, wahrscheinlich wegen meiner blonden Haare. Aber in der Sauna (in der beide Geschlechter nackt sitzen) wurde ich nie angestarrt, und sogar wenn ich danach neben Testosteron-vollen Kerls aus dem Fitnessstudio geduscht habe, ist gar nichts passiert! Das ist krass, aber voll klasse 🙂 in Polen wäre es schon ganz anders... 😅

I was stationed at Hessisch-Oldendorf , near Hameln, when I was 19 with the USAF. One of my best experiences while in the service. I found that as long as you tried to learn the language and to experience the culture, most Germans would really go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. I learned German fairly quickly, to an elementary/middle school level, and then also learned how to read and write it some. I was no scholar, and often got my tenses and verbs incorrect, and obviously my syntax was often wrong LOL, but I had a blast there. As far as the "Hallo", I remember when I first got to Germany, someone did that to me and I told them "Hallo" back, not realizing what they were getting at, and they looked at me confused LOL. One thing I couldn't understand, is why people liked "schmalzbrot".... that was just awful!!

Dankesehr👏 Das Video ist interessant😁

Ihr seid ein liebes Paar! Es freut mich Euch zusammen zu sehen - sehr angenehm.

Das ist wie ich in Deutschland wäre , aber das ist nicht der Fall.Ich teile diesen Moment mit Ihnen ,um Deutsch zuzuhören und es gefällt mir sehr, obwohl es ein bisschen noch schwierig für mich ist. Es ist ein normales Gespräch im Alltag in Deutschland. Es macht mich Spaß. Vielen Dank.

Hallo, It was very refreshing to hear from you guys!!! One of the most amazing experiences I had on my visit to Germany was the self-discipline or a default mechanism to stop at a red traffic signal, I mean I was surprised they abided by it even when there was no queue or passerby waiting to cross the road. I am from India by the way & this wouldn't even happen to me in my dreams over here😂

In Germany you have to pay a fine of 5 EUR (and more if you are causing an accident), if the police see that you are crossing a street with a red light. Nobody wants to pay, so most people follow the rules.

In Switzerland I rode a bike on a park foot path. An old man gave me a hard shove and made my fall off my bike. People also freak out if you cross against the light when there's no traffic. One guy even tried to run me over.

Thumbs up if you've been shouted at for messing up by an angry German 😂

German is such a amazing, rich, wonderful language!

I learnt the bike lane thing the hard way in Amsterdam. When I was in Berlin it was easy comparatively (now, the thing is I am from Tehran and we can be very hasty drivers so I easily applied the same rule to biking and instantly started communicating with the bells and stares hahah). For the buses, I have never been so on time only for the fear of drivers passing me by lol

The Fahradwege are not always easy to distinguish on the pavement of the sidewalks in Berlin. In North America, the bike paths are always on the asphalt of the street, and sidewalks are for Fussgaenger only. First time in Berlin, I was yelled at by cyclists behind me, as I had no clue we shared the sidewalk.
