- A lot of people seem to think that the Nazi history is a taboo in Germany, but it's actually not. In this video I talk about what the most avoidable topics in Germany really are, and then you can decide for yourself if you want to avoid them or challenge your German friends on them...

I make videos about German language, German grammar and German culture. So if you are looking for these kinds of things-hi! Welcome. Most of the upcoming videos are made for beginners like you. Advanced videos (slow German, conversational german) will follow soon.
German language & grammar tips
This is my German language project. I just always wanted to do something like this. My main channel (mostly about minimalism and hiking) and my socials can be found below ↓↓↓ I don't really have a page for this project like a learning platform or anything, but if you have questions, you can contact me on Instagram, on TikTok (also German language & culture content) or in the comment section of course.

Hi, liking your videos, keep them coming. Ps. Can you keep your info subtitles on screen longer, they vanish so quickly 😂
Okay, I will try to do that in future videos! Thanks for ponting it out 🙂
Very interesting and useful video. Keep going 🤛
...I didn't realize that about the Death topic. I learnt something!
Yes, absolutely! A real difference e.g. Tom Sweden, where it is quite the opposite. They even have a trend called death cleaning where ppl get their things in order at a young age. In Germany nobody likes to talk about ageing and death.
Great stuff. Please leave the written messages up longer. There is bo way to read that fast lol
Okay! It should be better in my newer videos! 🫡
My wife is Lithuanian, we visited her land 2 years ago and I had a couple of unpleasant experiences related to my race, and I don't exactly have Hispanic "features", so there are undoubtedly countries more prejudiced than Germany ;/
Probably... Germany now has become more politically polarized though, and I don't like it... it is very annoying and will probably have negative impact on both immigrants and citizens
I mildly disagree with the paragraph @ 4:10
lol 😁
I watched a Russian movie recently and have no idea why the Nazis were speaking in Finnish instead of German.
What movie was it, I can ask a friend from Finland... I have no clue otherwise.
They're doing identity politics, they're tagging people who aren't theirs.
Russians call Ukrainians Nazis. The USA is bringing democracy to the places it occupies. First, he calls terrorists freedom fighters, then apologizes to the aggrieved countries when they attack them. Journalists in Turkey, supported by the German government, call their opponents of the PKK and Syrian refugees fascist. But Europe is suppressing child abusers (Bacha Bazi) among refugees and their membership in harassment and other harmful organisations. Even refugee crimes in France and Germany are suppressed. I don't say even
about PKK.
. But refugees trying to cross into Greece and Bulgaria are killed by Greece and Bulgaria. They do not make a sound. Or Lib lefts call those who oppose gender reassignment for kids homophobic and cancel it. Those who oppose environmentalists closing down nuclear power plants and vegans call them nature killers. A general expression of identity politics.
That's actually kind of a good explanation... Totally forgot how much trouble is between Finland and Russia. It makes me sad. I love both cultures. In fact there are very few cultures I don't like. But the politics and leaders of some countries, sigh... 😔
@@LearnGermanorcrytrying so sorry but I forgot the name of that movie. It was on UA-cam long ago :(
Tell some to not clean their noise in public and restaurants, they do it with honor 😀 it's a bad culture in Germany.
lol, who told you that? Everyone blows their nose in public. You don't have to get in there like there's no tomorrow... but the single most disgusting thing is people sucking up their goddamn snort and swallowing that shit. Ew.
Your honesty is so honest it feels good to see... ❤
I might shift to Bavaria, I don't know if there's any racism but would like to know how to react if someone is doing so in a friendly manner
Don't be fooled, I'm from Thüringen and Bavarians are nothing like me. I recommend Cologne, it's very chill! Munich is expensive and unrewarding and the trains are always late. The mountains are beautiful though
@LearnGermanorcrytrying Thank you so much, I really appreciate the creators responding to genuin questions.
Ya I'm really a simple happy person with proper etiquette & respect for others but with a brown skin from Nepal +India....right now in UK and only twice I faced racist comment, but mostly people are good.
I'm really emotional and try to avoid or make friends with the racist opponent itself explaining via discussion... 😅
Thanks for the suggestion, but I intentionally wanted to move to Bavaria as I love mountaineering.... TBH however childish it seems
I can take criticism and discuss as long as its not physical harm
I've gone through the German map w r.t right leaning or left leaning govts as that's what I can see in my Country changing people's opinion.
North Germany around Berlin with current party is more lineinent for immigrants be it illegal or proper legal working class like us.
I have one year in UK and I am learning German for my next career
Thank you so much for such content ❤️
