One of the coolest things about beergardens in Germany is, that equality is instantly achieved as soon as people sit down. All 'social barriers' that might exist in daily life no longer exist. Professors sit next to construction workers, bank managers sit next to punks, priests sit next to anarchic atheists. As soon as one sits down, ones role in society is no longer of any importance. It's like a unwritten rule that the vast majority of people subscribe to. All people are suddenly stripped down to one common denominator: a person that wants to enjoy a delicious cold beer in a nice environment. It's a very beautiful and healthy tradition🤗🍻

[@michellerosenfeld1651]

Bavaria is like Texas for the U.S. They want to be independent, do their own thing, and are the place where all the stereotypes come from. As a german, I hate that a lot of visitors only go to Bavaria and call it a german experience, and that they are so traditional. But that is just a very small part of german tradition, every region has their own and is very different from Bavaria.

[@christianbuchs8029]

Even it is not whole Bavaria, Franken (Franconia) takes up a huge part of Bavaria and is different. It's like the middle between Oberbayern and the Rest of Germany.

[@BastianNorW]

I have family in Badem-Würtemberg (the neighbouring state), and even we think that Bavaria is sort of a stereotype. That's probably the reason that Bayern (Bavaria) is the only German state with its own English name - they do make an impact.

[@Kollektivable]

U forget that the other 15 parts of Germany would love to see Bavaria go😅 I think they got so much hate just cause of their politicians and the damn arrogantly behavior, and the BAVARIA IS THE BEST stuff. Almost like the American politicians 😂 Oh and the north of Germany is the best part, Hamburg is the the best city and with St. Pauli we have the best Football Club. Just a few examples.

[@FlubberFrosch]

@@BastianNorW I think Saxony still wants to have its say, even though the name comes from Sachsen. Likewise, Bavaria comes from the same word as Bayer: Bajuware In fact, not a single German state really has its very own English name. Some are just slightly adapted. The only ones that are not are Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Baden-Württemberg, Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein.

[@FlubberFrosch]

I can understand that people who live in other regions of Germany get annoyed when tourists from all over the world still generalise Germany as Bavaria and its customs. On the other hand, as a South German, I have to say that Bavaria is not the problem here. After the occupation, Bavaria is simply still good at selling itself, and if this bothers the people of other federal states, they should (want to) do the same in all sorts of areas. This means not only promoting themselves and their own customs/traditions within Germany, but also abroad. German states could also engage in more cultural exchanges with, for example, descendants of German immigrants to the USA who came from their regions and still speak a German language.

Hi JP :) I have a recommendation: Have you seen the latest video by Uyen Ninh about German stereotypes? She is one of the most famous KZbinrs in Germany right now (mainly through funny YT Shorts about living in Germany) and she is extremely loved by Germans. I strongly recommend to react to her video in which she also has a discussion with her german boyfriend (she is from Vietnam and has been living in Germany for a few years) :)

[@sebastianwittmeier1274]

In Bavaria a hochdeutsch dialect is spoken, the standard hochdeutsch (vs. the dialect) is the official language of Germany propagated by Martin Luther's translation of the bible for the common folk. In the North there exists an actual different, but related language (it is not only a dialect): Plattdeutsch, called Low German (due to the altitude, where it was mostly spoken then). Plattdeutsch is more similar to Frisian, English and Dutch than to High German.

[@pfalzgraf7527]

In my 450-inhabitants "large" village, there is an annual fire station party where people from all over the region come and have a very small version of what you in the USA would call an "Oktoberfest". Part of the program there is a competition in "Masskrugstemmen" (=beer mug lifting). The athletes stand, holding a full beer mug (yes, full of beer, of course) on the fully stretched arm. The hand goes through between two horizontal ropes, they are not allowed to either bend their arm or touch either of those lines. The last person not to touch the lower line wins. There are prizes (and of course every "athlete" is allowed to drink the beer from their mug).

[@DJone4one]

No, Bavaria haven't her own language. It is her own dialect in the region. We Germans can speak high German. Low german(Plattdeutsch) is a different language here in northern Germany.

[@hansmeiser32]

17:13 "continue to have fun in the beer gardens guys..." Dude, it's winter.

[@Herzschreiber]

Haha just my thought. They would not like to sit in an empty beer garden with maybe a rough wind and 20°F (that was the temperature only half a week ago in my place in Northern Bavaria), Chestnut trees without leaves and the threat of some dark clouds which could every second start gifting them with some hail! Even at the moment, with 33,8°F and sunshine it would probably not be something to enjoy! :)

[@Herzschreiber]

Hahaha "The food is not necessary; the beer is the food". Joel you have just proven that you are absolutely germanized by now! Congratulations :) Greetings to Arturo, I never expected to see someone from the US marvel about something bigger than in the USA, because usually everything there is bigger than here in Germany, LOL. That was really refreshing!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Joel has been to a Biergarten and will impart Arturo with his newfound wisdom. I hope both of you visit one soon.

[@kpanic23]

The whole workout/weightlifting aspect of those giant mugs also gets reflected in a common German euphemism for drinking beer: "einarmiges Reißen", the "one-handed snatch"

[@mffmYT]

#5 is a great tradition to bring you own food in Bavaria, colorful mix of people over the day or weekend beyond just drinking beer.

[@BastianNorW]

I love your takes on Europe. And as half German half Norwegian, i think it's really interesting to see your reactions to Germany. But I'd love to see your reaction to some Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark). Scandinavia is probably more likely to remind you of states like Minnesota and Wisconsin, but with the 'Bernie Sanders dream of the US'.

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Joel and pal. Almost like sitting by the river in York and having a beer? No rowing involved though. I am glad to say, despite being from Yorkshire, I watched without subtitles, but then it was aimed at folk learning German. Still, it was forty years since I took German at school.

[@johnfrancismaglinchey4192]

Arturo looks like he’s ready for bed ,,,,,, ✌✌✌✌

[@HaraldSeiwert]

It seems Arturo needs more sleep. He can barely keep his eyes open 🤣

[@elmothdia8079]

Another german idiom: "7 beers replace a meal" So don't miss to order 8 beers to be sure you have a drink with your meal. 😂

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

7 beers replace a meal. Yes that is what they say but for me 2 are the limit. Imagine 7 Maß? Seven liters?😵😅

[@AM-dz2sh]

I love Beer Gardens in Germany, I also really like the variety of Beer Gardens in England. The English ones tend to vary more, I think - Big open commons, smaller wild grass, flowers etc and then city ones with some grass or no grass.

[@Rick2010100]

There is one language in Germany (German) but there are many local dialects. In some regions the dialect mixes more into the standard German (Bavaria and Saxony) and in other regions the people only speak dialect among people were they knew the other can also speak the dialect. A few actually can't speak standard German, but they are called Hinterweltler (hillbillies).

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

95 percent of the biergarten I have been to were in Bayern, where the weather is more conducive to outdoor eating for at least seven months in the year. The better ones have live music, at least at weekends and on holidays. I prefer to drink local wines rather than beer, as I don't enjoy the aftermath of a lot of gassy drinks. My favourite biergarten offers barbequed fresh fish from the lake as an option too. 😋

[@lachlanmain6004]

Perhaps check out and videos of beer festivals JP, German and UK. 👍👍. I remember your beer garden posts, got the isea you didn't want to leave!!

Bavaria "This is the point where so much tradition exists" History lesson incoming: The bavarian duke actually needed beer brewers from Einbeck to tell the people in Munich how to brew a good tasting beer. (I'm not kidding). ^^ btw: Einbecker Brauherren Pils is still one of the best beers money can buy. ;)

[@Akabei01]

The beer magically vanished so she drank the glass of wine left on the table. 😂

[@mariovandulmen2962]

Tipping is big in Austria! You're expected to tip 10% just about everywhere, also at the hairdressers for example.

[@Steven91637]

Munich is awesome but outside of this City the Landscape is amazing.Mountains, Farmland,Lakes,Waterfalls and Forests 🌳 of course Lake Tegernsee and Schliersee are so beautiful.Lake Chiemsee too.And there are beautiful medieval Towns as Füssen or Berchtesgarden with the mighty Watzmann Peak.

Quote of the Day: “The beer’s the food.”

[@JohnHazelwood58]

Beer is known as "liquid bread" in Germany and is considered as food, yes.

[@theoteddy9665]

in 🇨🇿 it is usual statement too, my fav quote would be: if you dont change hands one would be enormous😂.. well..dah😂

Hi Joel! I like the way you involuntarily and unconsciously lick your lips at 11:43, when the currywurst appears. There is more European in you than you realize. Well, the genes... 😁🍻

Good video my man! One day you have to come to Frankfurt, then you can try traditional Frankfurt food and drinks

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Was meinst du? Sauergespritzter und Handkäs, mit grüner Soß..? War nur Spaß. Wenn ich aus dem Fenster sehe, habe ich die Geldfördertürme im Blickfeld. Aber gleichzeitig, sind sie auch weit genug weg...

Jps is getting more and more Germanized and spreading the word to other Americans, just wonderful! Brother, as a German, I can tell you have strong German roots too; embrace it!🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪

[@Bornevalesh]

Sometimes I am surprised when I hear, how quick people are drunk from beer. Before going to a football match me and my friends drink 2-3 Maß beer each and none of us is really drunk. XD

[@Morph-ur3fx]

[@dobby-wl1hs]

Normally in Germany a small Beer is 0.3L and a big Beer is 0-5L. Judst in Bavaria its different. ( Bavaria is extra " special " ) 🙂

[@marcel-rogerfalk2778]

Bavaria is such a part of Germany and they live their own traditions, which usually don't have much to do with the rest of Germany. In addition, the Bavarians do not speak their own language but rather a dialect. Northern Germany actually has its own language.

[@Attirbful]

Bavarians do not have their own language. They have a distinct dialect though, marked by some distinct vocabulary and a distinct accent.

[@d.w.3821]

Great you are you guys.

[@APCLZ]

hahahaha sometimes Bavarian does sound like a whole new language xD but it's still German and it's "just" a different dialect. meaning: same writing, different pronunciation.

[@ichbinbluna3504]

The series "Joel now discusses all the videos he's ever discussed on his own with one or two friends" - which is boring, Joel - continues. One remark: US Americans are supposed to be sociable. Why are you so shy and don't speak to the locals? "Hey, I'm a tourist from the USA, can I join you?" Germans in the beer garden immediately strike up a conversation with you - in English. "Can you recommend a traditional meal?" And you're right in the middle of it. Even if you had said in the beer garden: "Speisekarte in english", you would have got one.

[@hallomatti]

It is important to remember that the videos on this channel are language courses. That's why there are so many repeated words.

[@blondkatze3547]

I`m not familiar with the tradition of beer gardens where you can order beer and bring your own food in northern Germany.🙂🍺

Beer cellars and wine cellars .. beer and wine are meant to be cool. Room temp for red wine does not refer to living room temperature.

As German say. 7 beer is a schnitzel.

Eyyyyyyyyy, hold on boys, what you mean we talk in Bavaria, what? Swahili??? *lol* btw... that´s a country at the Horn of Africa. But back to the facts... Somebody talk with a regional slang and when you visit a village in the outback, you dont understand some specials words. But that´s we all have in Europe. Dont forget, Austrian also speek german and in switzerland you have a german, an italien, a france and "hard old" swiss slang. It depends also how near you life at "neighbours". So German Language have a few words they are regional, but 99,9% is the same, only with more or less slang. Greetings from Munich.

Evan Edinger did a great video on how messed up US tipping culture is compared to the rest of the world: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGLdfnSVq9F7jNk. In general though, I find self-service more relaxing than feeling like I'm at the mercy of waiting staff if I want anything.
