Berlin berlin berlin...Ich bin nicht ein Berliner aber I'd love to.

Comes from a communist country, does not know what strikes are. Oh the irony

There are few euphemisms in German unlike in English.Subtle or snide comments are a British thing,killing you with kindness...

Anatolian peasant women love Indo-European men......

Proper English is at least as difficult as German. It is more of a matter of perception: Most people believe English to be easy (which it isn't) and German to be hard although it is not as bad as its reputation.

I was raised in America but with my German relatives. They were always instructing me not to talk to people, that it was improper, to keep my mouth shut, that others would think I was a crazy person. Americans on the other hand turn around in a grocery line and start talking about their recent hysterectomy. It really isn't proper in German culture, to speak with someone unless you've been introduced by a third party. But this makes it hard for Americans to understand why I'm quiet. They see it as aloof, untrusting, boring. Germans don't give you their heart until they trust you.

the woman at 2:40 is so pretty

I'm more open minded

German girls just look angry all the time 😅

I found some restaurant staff in Bavaria to be rude. Never had that anywhere else in the world to that extant. It's like a lack of empathy. I am part German myself.

Young german people in this video seems polite. 🎉🎉🎉

Mein enlisch lehrer ist ein rapper

same question in cologne: answers completely different. nothing more to say about the quality of this question.

German's are basically robots with lack of sense of humour.. You cant expect much from thapt race who murdered humanism in WW2.

Spanish guy was brutally Honest for real 😂😂

you can jaywalk in germany, but if there's a kid in sight you must never cross on red!

Spending some time abroad makes you acknowledge what your home country has to offer! And you'd find out who you really are and what you really value and want. And what - or who - you can easily go without! It alsoaddstoyou being more flexible, understanding, curious. Everybody should go abroad for some extended period of time, at least 6 months.

Winters are depressing for a lot of germans as well, I guess ;)

Interesting video! I do think, however, that some of the changes the people experienced had less to do with the fact that they live in Germany but that they are away from home. I am an expat myself but not in Germany and I can relate to many of the observations in the video.

Direct does not equal honesty. It’s a funny rosey way to spin it.

The only day in Germany without rain.....comming from an English guy is kinda ....hillarious :D :D :D You guys actually should be used to it

Please remove comments. She is going to find this video one day and be shocked by what she reads in the comments. She sounds like a nice woman, I don't see a German man in this video, nobody gave her a script.

I've lived in Schleswig-Holstein, Mannheim, Cologne and also in NW Austria, and the only one where people were friendly was Cologne. Mannheim was awful, though it's better in Heidelberg, just down the road.

Those Turkish folks are more biologically related to Jews.

I love faulty towers...but there is a famous British sketch called "Dinner for one" which has become extremely popular in Germany, Scandinavia, and other European countries, especially as a New Year's Eve tradition. However, it is relatively unknown in the UK itself.

Shackin’ up with a German ain’t impossible, mate, so long as you get your head 'round their mindset and pick up a bit of their way of doin’ things. I’ve been hitched to a beautiful German girl for the last 8 years. She was my uni mate, and we had a good two years of courtin’ before gettin’ hitched. All I’ll say is, I’m still over the moon about her!

Ian is the best

I find it hard to forgive & forget the 2 wars & the murder of the jews! Pure evil!

Not sure Germans appreciate humor from a stranger

Berlin is so not germany.

She’s gorgeous does she like black guys ?

Most learners of any foreign language will be kind of afraid to put it into speaking practice, that is not specific to German. People who care about whether their grammar is correct, for instance, will be more afraid than those who don't. Of course, German grammar is a bit more complicated than that of many other languages so you will be very likely to make mistakes. However, as long as you can make yourself understood it is alright. One should always strive to get better over time though, imho. Btw, people overestimate correct grammar when it comes to understanding. Science has identified wrong word stress as the upmost reason for not being understood by native speakers.

Got it : Germans = Direct .

German is not difficult for English speakers to learn, and vice versa! This is why so many Germans speak good English: it's close to English and the lessons at school are pretty good.

I would move to Germany. I really really wanted to move to Germany. But there are few tricks 1) MONEY, a must have for all things 2) Getting residency over just a 90 day VISA 3) Having the required level of Sprechen Sie Deutch. But I would LOVE to live in Germany vs America. My Life in America for 50 years = Work, Eat, Sleep, Pay Bills, Listen to people bitch make some Schwanzsucker Rich.

Munich is not representative of all Germany. Hamburg or other cities are completely different. One can not compare London to Liverpool either.

I moved to Japan and have a lot to do with English speaking folks here and my biggest culture shocks are: - not being able to rely on what other people say (it's the things with last minute cancellations being okay as well as that people won't tell you their honest opinion because they don't wanna be rude and people inferring stuff in their massages) - being misunderstood because people think you are inferring or implying stuff in your messages even though you did not mean to do so. - people not being mindful of your time (not just people showing up too late but also if I have to ask a coworker for something in order to be able to continue with my work project and my coworker is doing something, I will have to wait till he finished his task and then I can ask him. In Germany, when people see that you can't continue work they usually will stop what they are doing if possible and tell you the information you were looking for in order not to keep you waiting for too long because for collective time management, it's better if they stop for 10 seconds compared to you waiting for 5 minutes) - being considerate of people who have it worse than you. (This sounds good but the flipside of the medal is German "envy culture") So basically, if someone has some obvious handicaps or disadvantages in life compared to you (for instance, if they are disabled, were sick for some years or were born into a poor family), but this person has to compete with you, or work with you, you should not "brag around" with your privilages/money/success into their faces. Sometimes, German societzy actually requires you to compensate the other person or compromise in order not to be seen as rude or as stepping onto weaker persons. While this might sound familiar to English speaking folks, Germans take this very seriously and are way more extreme in it to a point where you will have to cut down on your own success just to not "disturb social justice" and "collective peace".You can compete in Germany - but it has to be fair and Germans' concept of fairness is very precise and strict.

Bro's hiding the fact that his german is totally subpar..... What a way to profit from your own short comings... 🙄👍👀👏

Why did the Egyptian expect everyone to speak English in Germany??

I think most of the change that happend in their lives is due to living away from home. You have the chance to be another you and learning a new language will drive you brain. I think the change will almost be the same if a german moves to Spain.

I'm a Brit and I like the Germans. Straight talking, decent and friendly. Always welcome here.

7:08 I doubt that he is Indian subcontinent origin Swiss guy

germany doenst change anyone, people change germany. i just need to look in my own city suddenly 1/3 has new houses with russian shops and an extra big orthodox church in the middle. thats ofc nice on one hand but also problematic in the other

Wir laufen nicht im Dirndl herum. Das ist meistens nur für die Touristen in den Hotels.

colUmbia i not a country 😂😂

Great to see you back again! I’d love to see another video of you speaking German-don’t give up on it! Mistakes don’t matter; they’re an essential part of learning. It’s amazing to see an Englishman putting in the effort to share his experiences in Germany Greetings from Augsburg

You are are very nice and sweet guy. Great interviewer. You let people talk and open up their souls.The “thank you so much” take touches the heart. Beautiful. Keep it up.
