The beautiful German "Hallooo!?!" is the most passive-agressive expression any angry German can use.😅😅😅

For me the funniest thing was when I wanted to catch a bus in Germany for the first time. In Brazil we have to "signal" the bus for it to stop (otherwise it will just drive away), and the gesture kind of looks like you are doing a nazi salute :O (a gesture that absolutely doesn't have that connotation here). When I tried to signal the bus my friend almost had a heart attack. lol

Great. Germany seems like the country I was born to live in. I'm a very anxious person and therefore I'm always trying not to bother anyone and be quick, silent and prepared for any situation.
At least there my effort will mean something.

Als Kind habe ich 12 Jahre lang Deutsch studiert. Jetzt habe ich fast alles vergessen, weil ich niemanden zum Üben habe. Ihre Serie bringt mich zum Lächeln und erinnert mich an Dinge. Vielen Dank! 🌻🌻🌻

You're only a proper german if you're faster then the cashier. I even developed own techniques and learned some from my parents

[thomasbausewein]

Selbst als Deutscher finde ich die Situation an der Supermarktkasse total stressig 😅

[generalerica]

Point 2 is very important, especially at discounters like Lidl or Aldi, where I’ve found that the cashiers have honed their skill of dragging monumental amounts of goods across the register with what appears to be close to light speed.

It pays off to think about the order of the items when they’re on the conveyor beforehand. If you put hard and heavy objects on first and then the lighter ones, you don’t have to sort later during the ensuing time trial.
If you have a shopping cart with you, it’s often easier to just put it back in (more or less orderly) and then step aside after paying to store your items. Most shops will have a little area for that, or at the very least extended windowsills to put things on.

I've been learning German for 54 days now and I finally found a good channel to get further into the language, thank you for giving me the time to process words and eventually learn the ones I don't know without having to check a translator

Actually, when I was in Berlin, people also crossed the street with a red traffic light. They never did by themselves, I always did it first, but then the whole crowd followed me every time 😂 I felt like a prophet, it was really nice.

[HangryKitsune]

For the toilet situation should be added, that "peeing in the park" could cost you around 50€ if someone notices ;)

[coletteerck]

Thank you for reminder of these cultural differences. My biggest tip could be life saving do not walk on bike path the bikes are fast moving and if they do have to stop the rider will tell you off in no uncertain terms, I was honestly more fearful of accidentally walking in a bike path than I ever was of cars as a pedestrian in Germany. Love your videos. Peace 🕊️

Everything is opposit in Israel 😅. Our toilets are free everywhere, people are very loud in restaurants, they are not in hurry in supermarket. The only thing we can relate is to keep quietness on Saturday, this is really strict.

Das wichtigste beim Kassentetris: Die Reihenfolge der Steine schon vorher auf dem Band festlegen.

[nazarottto]

Die schnellsten DJs der Welt sind Aldi-Kassierer.

[emanuelrotela]

The trick in the supermarket is to put the heavy stuff at first over the band so you organise everything before putting it into the bags. Then it's only dropping in, and that's it. Usually the heavy stuff are vegetables, so they have to weight it first and it gives you more time to prepare the bags 🤣

Noch eine wichtige Sache ist in Deutschland, dass man bei fremden Leuten meistens siezen muss. Ich als eine Türkin habe es sehr oft erlebt, dass wenn man an geduzt wird, als Respektlosigkeit rüberkommt und dass die Person das sehr ernst nimmt und einen sogar ermahnt. Tolles Video 👍

[BaudixLp]

„Wiedersehen macht Freude“ wirkt immer so passiv aggressiv auf mich...

[fernandosalvador]

Lowkey: Germany is totally my vibe. Respecting the traffic rules, not being late, having quiet conversations in groups, planning ahead... ah, the dream.

Wohne jetzt fast 10 Jahre in Deutschland, bin gebürtiger Holländerin und schmeiss mich weg bei dieses Video!!! Es ist auf dem Punkt!!
