I somehow love their attitude when they say it's not "proud", but "glad" as German. It sounds very modest and philosophical. Actually, the proud doesn't really help a thing when it comes to a country's development, but only get people inflated... Now a bunch of countries still have this matter -- like Russia -- on the one hand people can't forget their yesterday's glory; on the other the nation's economy still can't find a way to rivive. The gladness and love of living on a beautiful land is sufficient for the people there to strive for a better life. If all the nations only pursue and embrace people's gladness and happiness, but not some intangible pride, the world will just has no war or meaningless disagreements.

I agree with the lady that said she can't be proud because it's not an accomplishment. You can be happy, but I don't think you can be proud of being of any nationality, you've hardly done anything to earn it.

Germany is a beautiful country, and the Germans are wonderful people. I personally know Germans in person. The first time I met them, I had the same stereotypes and worries as everyone else biased or ignorant about them, but they turned out to be very wonderful people and I enjoy their company. The Germans weren't the only ones to blame about the past. Everyone had a hand on it. The deeds of the few does not make it true for all. Germans you are a bustling country, leading fiercely on the world stage. Let go of the past, not only for Germans but for everyone else as well. Stand up and be proud! Mold the present for a better future! This generation has a great chance to make a difference, and we should make it count.

Us mexicans have a lot of admiration and respect for nations like Germany and Japan, because they have got up from terrible situations and achived things that no other countries have done, so I don't understand how some germans don't feel proud of themselves.

Problems which don't even exist in Germany. I had taken many things for granted... Now I'm back home and feel proud. It's a beautiful country...not perfect, but pretty good

I went to Germany and lived with a German family for about a month. I have never met such wonderful, welcoming, kind, and smart people. People would stop me in the street when they heard me speaking English and ask me where I was from and how I liked Germany. I loved the people and I loved Germany and I cannot wait to go back.

It is quite surprising to hear that some germans are not proud of being germans and also that some germans don't like their country. There are problems everywhere in the world, but I can't see any reason why someone wouldn't be proud of being german. I mean, if you had high crime rates, poor healthcare, high rates of unemployment, no access to clean water, I would understand, but I honestly think that those people who say they're not proud, they should visit an underdeveloped country and see how tough life can really be and many reasons to not be proud of being born in certain places.

It is like this: They all dont want to say that their proud to be german, because in germany you always think about second world war and so youre afraid to say that your proud, everybody tries to say nothing seems like the things they were saying in the past(the germans are the main...) i hope you know what,I mean, I cant find the right words for it... ☺

By the way, "being proud" means something different in German as in English. "Stolz sein" means to be happy of/for reaching a goal/aim / something you have done or have archived. Being born in Germany isn't an achievement. It was given to you by you parents/destiny/god/... I'm a German and would say that I'm proud of Germany but not of living here. Ich bin glücklich hier zu leben. ("I'm happy/lucky to live here") There is a difference in thinking and language.

I was born in Spain so I speak spanish (es mi lengua de nacimiento) and English, but my Next goal is to learn German, is for me the most beautiful language... Ich liebe das deutsche Spreche

It's just a cultural difference. In German culture, you are proud if you achieve your aims/goals... And an aim/ a goal is something you have to work for. So a typical German would say, " Ich bin glücklich in Deutschland zu leben" --> I'm happy to live in Germany" My English is terrible...

It is so strange that they are not proud of their nation. We can see pictures about what Germany looked like in ruins at the end of WWII (summer, 1945). And now it is better than ever! For contrast, you can see what happened to former African colonies that were left by colonisers in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's as operating countries in a good shape. Almost all of them have become worse or much worse since then! German products are also pretty good, even those that were made in the former DDR (so much despised nowadays), especially heat-resistant glassware of Jena. Almost all households in Central Europe still have the pale yellow, Mickey Mouse-looking Jena glasses. They are also good for microwave and safe in diswashers, never mind that these were not even invented when such glassware was produced! So it was designed and made so well that it meets requirements that were unheard of at the time when engineers designed such glassware in Jena, decades ago! Perhaps these people are just socialised to be too shy to say they are proud.

That's because they have been brainwashed not to be. They are afraid to say it.

To be proud only of your own accomplishments and not of whatever collective group of people you belong to, is indeed a very rational way of thinking. Nationalism and collective pride tend be indeed very idiotic, yet it bothers me that the few Germans that still feel this way, as absurd or as foolish as it may be, are very unfairly condemned and even labeled as a na... Yes, that four letter designation that shows up in 98% of all discussions related to Germany. On the other hand, the rest of the world is rife with extreme levels of imbecilic nationalism and collectivism... People feeling superior over others because of the accomplishments of certain members of the same "race" or "nationality". And yet it is completely condoned and no one gives a fuck. What a pity.

I guess so :D I was in south Italy lately (we did an Easy Italian Pilot) and I could clearly see the difference. People standing closer to each other. People kissing each other all the time. Men walking arm in arm. I don't think that they are more friendly but they certainly seem to treat each other with more warmth and affection. I enjoyed it very much.

This was a great episode, with useful words, phrases and dialogue. Some episodes are somewhat awkward. This one was great! Nice interviewers.

Deutsch sein heisst immer selbstkritisch zu sein...sich immer zu hinterfragen was hab ich geleistet...nicht ohne Grund stehen wir da , wo wir sind, und haben die meisten Künstler/Wissenschaftler herausgebracht, und aus dem selben Grund mögen uns andere Kulturen nicht. Woher kamen die? Aus Selbstunzufriedenheid, den Drang neues zu erforschen...und wieso mögen uns andere nicht? Weil wir nicht still stehen...auch, wenn wir Bier saufen machen wir am nächsten Tag was....

most people here give the right answer. im also glad to live in germany, but why proud? i havent contributed anything to the germany that it is today. im not proud of the government that rules us, im not proud of them selling weapons to shady 3rd world oppressing dictators. people can be proud of what they achieved in life, but why proud of a nation? you could be born in any spot of this earth, thats sheer destiny, so the right saying really would be "im glad i live in.../not glad i live in...". this media hyped pride that gets washed into our minds just lives through the success of the german football national team, and theres the same, only those 20 players won the wc, not the entire nation, so you can be proud of these guys, not yourself or germany. national pride just leads to bad things and im not saying that because of the 3rd reich. pride over a nation is for people that cant be proud of themselves, therefor need something to feel a part of.

I must say that's pretty interesting. Probably that's why your national team is called "die mannschaft," because it's not one 'thingy,' but several men (mann-schaft) working together; it's each one's work what matters to... slaughter Brazil seven-one.

Ach liebe ich Deutsch... es ist mein beste Zweitsprache... und Deutsch ist für mich Freundschaft. Viele meiner Freunde sprechen Deutsch - in normale Schule hatt' ich nicht so viele Freunde, aber jetzt hab' ich viele Freunde und netten Kollegen - heute lerne ich drei Jahre beim Deutsche Schule (in Südaustralien). Für mich ist typisch Deutsch Annahme und Akzeptanz (ja, ja, ich weiss, dass ist nicht normal!). Jetzt ist mein Deutsch noch nicht perfekt, aber ja, ich habe Stolz, Deutsch zu sprechen.

Wait a minute... this was not a lesson, BUT I learned a LOT. There wasn't anyone saying "this is an apple" or stuff and I still learned many things. I like this, you can learn new vocabulary, grammar and culture all at the same time

Lol, come on German people, don't be afraid to say you're proud to be German. It's a pretty great country, you know?. Don't be afraid of others thinking bad about you, you know what you think and are. I know it's human nature to want others to think well of oneself, but at times we also need to move past that.

SWift.x FuRY That's because no one can call you Nazi when you say you are proud to be Canadian.

But no one can call a German a nazi for being proud. Both my grandpa's fought against nazi scum but Germany is a pretty decent country now and I don't think they should be punished for what happened before they were even born...

I'm glad to see the German slf-hating has faded away a little! They all made good comments though, good video!

ja, das stimmt ja auch. Aber wenn ein Deutscher einfach drauflos sagt: "ich bin stoltz" dann würde es klingen als ob er sagt: ich habe vergessen wie viel unendliche Tragödie im Deutschen Namen passiert ist. und so kommt es zu einem Paradox: die meisten Deutschen können stolz auf Deutschland sein (oder Deutsch zu sein) wenn sie diesen Begriff nicht aussprechen. Zu groß ist die Gefahr missverstanden zu werden.

i LOVE these videos! danke!

the british girl is so beautiful!

Mir ist interessant, dass die deutsche Leute sehr präzise wären, das Wort ,,Stolz" darüber, dennoch niemand hat ,,präzise" gesagt, in Bezug auf die Deutsche Personen. Vielleicht nur Ausländer es bemerken. :D

Fizzlecube Nein... tut mir leid wenn es nicht klar war.

Ich muss mehr Videos mit Sozialkritischen Themen machen. Ich finde die intensiven Diskussionen sehr interessant.

Thank you for the subtitles :)

so many countries in the world which did horrible crimes to people in history should feel guilty just as germany do now. and now i believe german people can be apparently proud of their country because of it.

Hahahaa, die Energiewende - Absoluter Unsinn! #yougograndpa

John Tough Ja man kann dich gut verstehen.Es sind ein paar kleinere fehler drin, aber man versteht alles. Bist herzlich willkommen in Deutschland und die Österreicher sind auch sehr Gastfreundlich war vor kurzem erst in Wien.

i feel like its kind of sad that these people still heavily carry the guilt of the holocaust (that's what I'm assuming is what that person referred to by "history").

yeah and wait till they realize that it was all bullshit the whole time..

Germany, your history is nothing to be ashamed of, you are awesome!

ich finde es schön, dass die jünger leute ok sind, stolz auf ihrer Heimatland zu sein.

very good point. but I would still be rather glad, happy, thankful than proud. From all the discussion on the topic of being proud to be a member of a given society I can see more and more clear that it is very much an linguistic problem. We would need to define the notion of: "being proud" first in order to be able to understand what we are talking about. I will check what wikipedia says on it. We should all do. It's a good idea.

very neat and interesting video

3:54 I like his answer.

@MrMarianna1701 maybe it was good to make this video to get comments like yours. I do agree with you. I'm Polish living more than half of my life in Germany and I'm also proud and in love in both of my countries. And just like you, I will never have problems stating it.

They are the best imo !

I'm married to a German girl too and I love Germany (I'm Polish myself). So we are at least two happy people :D

das mag auch sein trotzdem denke ich dass... it could be like that (like you say) but nevertheless I think that...

I loved the video! Germany is such country and so it is its people - strong, disciplined, punctual. I have some german friends and they are quite polite, friendly and open-minded. And one of the most amazing things about them it's their language... difficult all the way but wonderful in its logic and power of expressing, communicating and describing their understanding of the world.

Sehr gute Antwort. Vielen Dank.

yes please do it! Take a camrea and a mic and talk to people. And send me the material. I would edit it and translate it too. I got one student who speaks Portugouse :) It would really make me happy and it would make our project strong. Please check our: easy-languages (dot) org Please check our video: Easy Languages - how to make a video on the streets to be sure to get best quality material.

sehr schön

Such lovely people and a wonderful language.... and i'm an american! I do hope to go there someday!

Germans have all the reasons to be proud of themselves: amazing painters, fantastic composers, scientific geniuses and a beautiful language.

Non of those things modern german did

`proud would be the wrong word.` this is the idea. there are no borders in the world right now and being proud of who you are is something and being proud of being a part of a race is something. im learning german very slowly and i hope one day i can go there!

Great answers, national pride is taking credit for things you have never done and often no almost nothing about, indeed be proud of what YOU have done. Sehr gute.

Vielen Dank

2:18 my god, do i love his answer, i believe it is very fitting.

Germans ! be proud that you are, who you are. You create perfect country.

They have a great history.

Jeez, that "zurück Türkei" part... That use of german was so Turkish that I can't even... I mean that intonation, that emphasis on syllables and that accent, it was just... I can't.
