- Germany is well known for their cars, beer and that one thing…
But today I'm here to teach you all the basics about Germany and its culture.
If you're curious about the cost of living in Germany, feel free to click on the link:
• cost of living in GERM...
Been living in Germany for at least 6 months and I feel like I integrated and learned a lot. Plus have close relations with people from Germany, there were many cultural differences even though Latvia, Germany and the Netherlands are all in Europe.
Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in Central Europe. It borders with too many countries with Berlin as the capital.

Thank you for all my subies! Hope you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for watching I appreciate you and you matter ✨ bye bye - Розваги
At 0:34 is poeple a typo or is it some reference I don't get? Either way great work like always loved the entire video
No just typo :D and thank u!
Good work ❤
@@helloerika Nice video, it's a pity they don't make graffiti illegal it looks so ugly and ruins beautiful cuties.
@@helloerika I don't know if you allready did. But you need to attend a bigger Easter Fire event (Osterfeuer) and even if it's a bit Village-style, you should attend a shooting-club-festival(Schützenfest) prefereable the youth shooters(Jugendschützen).
@@dorrarh3956 Are you single? I'm single :D
My German Professor had our class watch this video for an assignment to open us up to exploring German culture. Honestly I LOVED watching this video!
Oh my god really? :D such an honor
@@helloerika yes! It's a German level 1 class at ivytech in Indiana. Thank you for creating this video!
what a cool professor :D
"that one thing"😅 brilliant. Love your humor.
Großartiges video!
One thing, the word "Lebensmüde" is actually more commonly used to describe people who do extremely dangerous activites such as climbing very tall buildings without safety gear.
Yes, but in that case it is used ironically. Actually "lebensmüde" means suicidal. Someone is "lebensmüde" means he or she is tired of life and wants to die. Without any irony.
@@hckoenig but its always used ironically, ive nver heard anyone say or use the Word to actually mean that someone is suicidal.
@jessemoogI agree. If I would use it in the meaning of suicidal, I would say, e.g. er ist des Lebens müde, which indicates he doesn't want to live anymore because of varius reasons like illness, depression, a bad life and so on. 5310
this is the best video about germany on the internet
Yees. You are sure!
🤣😂😭
When I was little, my father was stationed at the Flint Kaserne in Bad Tolz. I lived there from Kindergarten to 5th grade. I love Baveria! When I was older, we lived in Frankfurt. I didn't get to see much of it though.
11:30 What a nice choice of letters and numbers 😄🤭
what do the numbers mean :) Are they a reference?
@@voyance4elle Yes. Rule 34, the rule of the internet about content for adults. You can easily google it. With "f ck", these numbers matches perfectly
Correction about the Tag der Einheit: it is not about the fall of the wall (which was 9.11.1989) but the official reunification at the 3rd October 1990. The reason for that is that for some reason many other important events took place at the 9th November, like the beginning of the Weimar Republic 1918, the Bierhallen/Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch 1923 or the pogroms in 1938, which are not that fitting for a national holidy. Also there are other interesting things that happened that day, like Napoleon taking power in 1799, the abdication of the last shogun in 1867, the independence of Cambodia from France in 1953 or, for more german history, the death of Holger Meins in 1974.
I went to Euro Disney many years ago and made up a game of "guess the nationality" where I would look at someone and try to figure out which country they were from. Lines (queues) were very helpful here. English people would be super patient and would let more aggressive people cut in line in front of them. The people cutting in line were almost always German, mostly teenagers.
From a few visits to Germany, it seems like there are enormous variations in behavior between different regions. In Bavaria, people seem very relaxed. In some other regions, people are more likely to yell at you for no obvious reason.
Don't try cutting the line in front of me without my consent. Nevertheless I don't have problems in letting someone before me, if I do my bigger weekend shopping and someone only has 1 or 2 thing to buy, or if there are older people e.g. In those cases I take the initiative and offer my place in the row to them. Greetings from a German.
Yes the german renters or old ppl. Very annoying type of humans😂😂😂😂
"The people cutting in line were almost always German, mostly teenagers."
I'm German and I'am a little surprised to read this. Nevertheless, when it comes to queues I wish Germans would be a little more British.
"From a few visits to Germany, it seems like there are enormous variations in behavior between different regions."
Yes, and even the spoken dialect can be very different - so much so that I have a hard time and mostly fail to understand southern German (Bavaria, Swabia) dialects.
Your videos are amazing to explore Germany online🤩I enjoyed it
I recently moved to Trier and I was so happy to recognize the city just from a pharmacy and a bakery. It was great to see how you see Germany and Trier as well. 😍
Nice to hear that. Trier is actually my hometown so how do you like the city?
Your videos are always amazing.
I loved the slight dig at the train system 😂
Appreciate your efforts ❤
Excellent story telling Erika 👏💯
I was stationed in Germany in the 70s & loved every second of my time there, great people with a sardonic sense of humour , i could wax lyrical about the food & nightlife but i'd be on here all day lol BTW love your post
That Germany is no more. After the cold war period and American Soldiers left their more Russian Turks and Muslims in Germany it's a
Country of Hatred. The Old Post-war Germans are no more. The Old American Housing Areas are filled with everyone but Germans. Eastern European with their old ways of living, refugees the rise of the Nazis the place is a Mess.Germany is on the decline.
@@richthomas9170
I wouldn't call it "decline", more like upheaval. State borders are only created by people. Anyone who isolates themselves automatically excludes other people.
(Written in German. I hope google translated it correctly.)
Greetings from Germany
PS. The German right wing party AfD is on a totaly wrong way ... and the REAL people demonstrate in many German cities against fascism in 2024.
i like the high density of random trivia. really nice.
the cinema one was a bit weird, like as if german dub goes off do its own thing, but otherwise rly enjoyed it.
I think this was intended for people whose German is not good enough to understand the dub.
Very funny and informative video. Thanks Erika!
loved it
Looking at this for my next week visa appointment
Wald meister looks like laundry detergent
Love the video❤
Really cool video!
This video is a masterpiece ❤
omg I can't wait to go😭
"Kinder"-Schokolade ist italienisch. Wird vom Konzern "Ferrero" hergestellt. Die womöglich berühmteste Süssigkeit Deutschlands ist "HaRiBo"
That is a very nice video. Thank you.
20+C+M+B+22 the number from the start and end of the line represents the current year. CMB means Christ bless our home and also has different interpretations but the easiest explanation is the one I explained. Hope it helps.
I thought C M B refers the names Casper, Melchior and Balthasar.
Casper, Melchior & Balthasar = CMB , 6 of January. Not at all Christ bless our home. Those three above were the three Kings who came with gifts for Jesus. You can see these numbers written only on Catholics house doors.

Loved this Video! Short note: the carneval Video you used is actually a scene from swiss Karneval in Basel called „Fasnacht“ which has quite some differences to german Karneval:) But I can still very much recommene checking that out aswell✨ all the best
loving the videos related to germany... getting additictedd!!!!
I loved this video, since it gave me a bigger view of Germany! In two months I’m flying there and I’m so excited :)
How’s your experience going so far?
@@yousefrdaa_ it's been pretty nice, since I already knew a lot about what normally shocks foreigners. So far my trip has been going really smoothly
I admire the culture of the Germans and the Nordic volk. The discipline and law obedience.
The secret is: Welfare
A+ for effort!!
The reunification of Germany took place on October 3th, 1990 - not in 1989 😊
... official and de facto... 😊
Futterneid, going to remember that one for my wife.
Your videos are always oddly cute, in a good way.
This was the most informative video I have ever watched on Germany 🇩🇪! Well done Erika 👏🏾
so beautiful, not just the city too
AND with that video you made me 100% wanna go to Germany thanks
accidental moscow GUM at 5:17 (hello from Russia!😄)
i've been binging your videos for the whole day and must i day the quality is bomb! i geniunely thought that this channel is at least 100K subs...
thank you for your work!
Thank you for the video. I miss Germany so much.
You see, when you look ast American movis or tv. You hardly see anything about deutschland....never a lovedtory...only in connection with the neesis...did you ever,ask why? Public tv in USA. Is dominated by britain.....also political stories. About Berlin. Never any attractive city pictures. Nope. The stone graveyards for the holocaust. Which could have been a much.mote effective monument, the rrstbof the wall and so on...thats. how it is I watched it for years. Now. I speak.
Sorry typos
Hello Erika! Thanks for your videos I just moved to Amsterdam and your videos have been helpful. If it’s possible would love to know you in real life. All the love.
It’s very well done, as a Luxembourger I‘m pleased to see my neighbour town Trier, and it’s very nice not to get the strange view many Americans have towards probably any foreign place. Just one critic: the font of the titles, reminds a little bit too much 33-45. Thanks a lot also for the film about Trier.
Honestly we (my gf and I) didn’t know most of these facts at all 😂. But this was really witty 😂😂 super entertaining!
Great video! Christmas-decorated building at 5:18 looks like Gum from Moscow 👀
More like gum looks like the christmas building 😜😊
Carnival does not end on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday, it ends on Tuesday. This is why we have Mardi Gras(Fet Dienstag), or Fastnacht is the official German name.
this channel is so inderrated its literally my comfort one thank uu erika
I can't skip 5 seconds of your video, one of the most underrated channels keep up the good work 👏
Excellent
very good vid, well done! there are way more dialects. in some regions even the neighbouring town speaks a slightly different dialect. and the cash thing isnt really a thing anymore. but yes, you should take a bit of cash with u for example the parking ticket vending machine, or the shopping cart. also there cant be too many sorts of beer... Prost!🍻
9:02 Schorle, sparkling water mixed with some kind of juice, wine or fruit wine.
Looks like Rhineland Palatinate in most clips. :)
There is only one problem with the rules. They have to come from the sciety, not from the government. Cheers from Switzerland!
An excellent all-round presentation of a country. And beautifully presented, too.
Hey really cool video! A little detail u got wrong is that reunification of Germany wasnt in 1989, but on 3rd October 1990. The fall of the Berlin wall was in 1989 though
part 2 pllssss
Very under-rated video. I really enjoyed watching it 💙💙
oh i dore Tarchun (Тархун)! it tastes awesome :)
Germany sounds like a place for me😊
am August werde ich nach Deutschland gehen, um dort zu studieren und arbeiten. Danke vielmals Erika, Ich habe viel mit dir gelernt.
Wie ist es?😊
Thank you so much, that was quite helpful and interesting.
Great video!! 🤩🤩🤩💪🏼💪🏼
bro u r an extremely underrated video editor and story teller... keep up the hard work your videos are a work of art!
i came across this video after watching a Wonderful German Movie called (Das Boot) about a 3.5 hour and i really loved it
I do agree about following the rules it dose apply in also the United States
Hallo Erika greetings from Germany
I didn't know about this meaning of lebensmüde. Usually we use it when somebody wants to do something very dangerous (and could die), lol
BEST VIDEO EVER, I JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL AND IT'S ALREADY ONE OF MY FAVS RELATED TO GERMANY ✨✨✨✨
bro i'm half german and lived there for a couple of years but now that i live abroad, and kind of forgot about german standarts , i laughed real hard at this video
In what country on this planet "standards" is written with 't'? 🤔
Good❤
Hello
Very good video. I guess you are from Finland with your slight accent, very cute.
By the way, you understood very well the procedure in Germany and the Germans. With this light touch of humor I enjoyed this video very much.
Thanks for this
She is from Latvia
Excellent video, I subscribed 😅 ! A must for everyone planning to move to Germany.
Thank you- Good Summary
Kinder chocolate Is Italian btw, made by the Ferrero group/family, the same one that makes Nutella and many other sweets.
She forgot to mention Lichtenstein. :c
Hehehe, the thing about Germans in Nederlands.....so funny...i was going to work yesterday and an older couple went by me with helmets while driving on a fietspad.
is Trier !!!! I'm going to go there to live in half a year
you should make vidoe about france
Left America. Living in Frankfurt. Done. My tui may so roi, nhung muon roi.
You're very smart, well done! 👏
At some point my home towns most popular nightclub was sold off on ebay kleinanzeigen after their owners shut it down.

Great video. Very funny but true
I’m grateful for your videos on Germany
Health care in Germany definitely is not free!
I agree actually :D it's "free"
According to Gesundheitsinformation website:
"Alle gesetzlich Versicherten haben den gleichen Versorgungsanspruch, wenn sie krank werden - egal, wie viel sie jeden Monat in ihre Versicherung einzahlen. Die Höhe der Beiträge richtet sich allein nach ihrem Einkommen. Nach dem „Solidaritätsprinzip“ der GKV zahlen also gut Verdienende mehr ein als Ärmere, Gesunde gleich viel wie Kranke. Auf diese Weise tragen alle Versicherten gemeinsam das persönliche Risiko des Verdienstausfalls und die Kosten der medizinischen Versorgung im Krankheitsfall."
It is more kind of free for some than for others.
du ist wunderschön, Miss Erika. Ich lerne deutsche sprache so ich can praise du in Deutsche... Sorry if the grammar is still messed up, haha. You really look like a geeky Velma from Scooby doo. Schön stadt, like a medieval stadt.
your videos are amazing. love from south africa
Cute avatar, cool videos.
If you have neighbors like this, you don't need enemies anymore!
Says you😊
❤❤❤
That was Fun. Saludos.
Damn ur videos are so good =D
can anyone tell me what city is shown at 11:40 ? it looks beautiful
Almost all points applz to Cyechia too. Especiallz the keyboard lazout.
If there were a computer driving license, life would be much easier for many people. The ASCII system has been around for more than 40 years. Each character has a number. Simply type the correct number on the number pad while holding down the ALT key. For example, ALT + 90 gives Z, ALT + 89 gives Y, ALT + 64 gives @.
It is so easy when you're sitting at the PC. WHY isn't something like this taught in school? Oh, because the teachers don't know anything like that.
Btw, for the euro symbol € you need ALT + 0128
And all people with a smartphone ... well.
Greetings from a technician.
I think you miss one thing: Students are only allowed max 120 full days/240 half days working a year.
Well they should have some time to study, shouldnt they
14:13 I am by now since 20 years used to French AZERTY.
Nice Video, but i never heard that a german has celebrated the Reunifcation Day, it´s just a day off. But Vatertag, fathers day is more of a big deal.
Ten different dialects in Germany? I live in Darmstadt and 50km away you can hear at least 10 dialects.
It’s the best no nonsense video about Germany.
lebensmüde means thinking of suidide/being suicidle
