@musima41 I thought she was role playing showing how dry German small talk could be compared to how open American small talk is.
"It was your suggestion,you do realize this ."
I actually wonder if she's originally slavic, I've seen interviews to Russian women and they "play" the interviewer in a very similar way. This lady made me laugh out loud, honestly I love her :D
she made me laugh a lot, the way she answered, she really wanted him to go lol
Step 1: Talk about weather
Step 2: Go to step 1
😂
There is no step 3.

When my German girlfriend came here to New York years ago, she told me, "you are not going to believe this! I sat down at a cafe, and the waitress said 'how are you?' She didn't even know me!!"
Lol😂

Erst nachfragen aber dann nichtmal die Antwort abwarten find ich ja besonders ..freundlich.

in Mexico making small talk with strangers is like breathing ! I love that about my country .
Ich glaube Südamerika ist der "Small Talk paradise", bei uns (Argentinien) du kannst sogar mit die Steine über die feuchtigkeit reden. Und bitte fang nie ein Small Talk mit ein Taxidriver, die sind alle Lebenspezialist und sie werden dir die Relativitätstheorie oder der Sinn des Lebens erklären. Grüsse aus Buenos Aires.

i once met up with a german girl so we could practice our respective languages. she was going to practice on her swedish, me on my german. it was the most awkward thing i've ever experienced, a german not very good at small talk and then me a swede who are also not very good at small talk. we never contacted each other again x'D
you should practice with South east asian people then :)
Can relate
Klister Klister that’s so sad 😂😂😂😂
Haha I'm Ukrainian and also not good at small talks XD. This is why I try to think about possible topics to discuss beforehand to avoid such awkward situations.
I wish I knew someone who I could speak German with, I'm still new at it and my native language is English.
Other: Hows the weather?
German: Gorgeous
Other: Wow, Im surprised you didn't complain like most Germans
German: Actually its a bit hot, I should have dressed different.

this explains why conversations with my german friend dies off every time i try to talk to her
omg yes. I've had a german friend for years and we talk like every 3 weeks cuz it's hard to keep up a conversation with her 😂
Just ask them if they believe in free will or determinism. Bestest "small talk" you will ever have.

I was looking for a comment like this
schockiert!
Hahaha
I'm still laughing😂😂🤣🤣 proving all the stereotypes true
Loll she was like irritated by too much small talk and had to go have some beers to cool it down 😂😂
As a Brit, I think that the phrase "Hey, how are you?" and a standard reply such as "Oh fine thanks, how are you?" are often used as non-literal forms of social communication that, depending on tone, indicate how open you are to having a chat. I think it's great, because it removes the barrier to spontaneous conversation if somebody is in the mood for it.
"Hey, how are you?" = "I am open to a conversation"
"Oh fine thanks, how are you?" = "I am also open to a conversation"
So I think it's disingenuous when people say that Brits (or Americans) aren't interested in knowing the answer to "Hey, how are you?". It's not fake, it's friendly.
Yes I personally like your culture. 🙂❤️ And I also don't understand why most people think it's fake. 🙄 Although I also come from (non small talking culture) country
I'm American and it maybe fake if the person is on the clock at work. The longer a person works the more artificial it will become simply due to fatigue. It's difficult following company policy and social protocols when exhausted. I'd say 9 times out of 10, here in Oregon, one can approach damn near anyone on the street, and have pleasant small talk. 😊✌️

I also think that way! I also do that a lot here in Germany, to which Germans respond with "good, you?" or "ugh tired" and I just raise my eyebrows and nod.
Just to clarify, when Americans ask “how are you?” It’s not that they don’t want an answer, it’s just typically a feeler for how to proceed with the conversation.
But what are you supposed to say? How your day is going? That seems potentially very awkward and/or too familiar
@@nellautumngirl When saying, "how are you" in America it is usually just another way to say "hello". For example, when my boss goes to vacation for a week and he comes back and I see him for the first time we usually start off with "hey welcome back, how are you?" then he responds and then it proceeds to the next topic, like "how was your trip?", etc. Also, "how are you" isn't considered small talk in America, it is just a more formal, elaborate "hello". Small talk in America usually is to exchange pleasantries like for example you mentioned "how is your day going", then the person usually responds honestly on how their day is going.
In US it's ok to have a negative response too. For example "Eh.. could be better..". The responder might even tell what happened (leading to a conversation) but if he/she doesn't, the inquirer will sense the mood and end it in a friendly manner e.g. "That's a bummer man, some days are like that.." or "Sorry to hear that."
Countries are like a large family - 2 might like skiing, 3 might like singing, 2 others might like science etc., but no 2 are the same which is the way I like it. Natural.
Was verdient ihr 😂😂😂😂
it's about showing genuine interest as opposed to approaching with hostility
Here in the Philippines, almost every talk is either small talk or gossip. You can rarely talk about ideas, philosophies and deep knowledge.
But when we do talk about ideas and philosophies, time passes by so fast
@Derek That's what the American Indians told the white immigrants.
I want to learn and talk the grammar laugage can you please help me
I know! Everything has to be a joke or gossip it’s annoying sometime.
Same like here in Indonesia
As I am very shy it was always very hard for me to start small talks. But since I have started to work in a restaurant beside my studies, I have become better at it. And I found that I actually like to communicate with people. There is no shame in having an unsuccessful small talk but there is a great feeling in having a successful one!
What made it easy for me to communicate with people was that I honestly didn't care (and still don't) how they feel or what they want. That way you don't feel the urge to live up to any expactation and get to know people faster and easier with the chance of actually caring after 5 minutes.

For my speaking exam this year, my teacher said he was going to ask us to make small talk. So finding out that even Germans don't make much small talk is actually very comforting hahaha

As a Swiss, having to small talk is as painful as getting a tooth pulled.
MariusFraNorge_YT ...you’re correct in not every American is comfortable or interested in small talk. The only individuals who I’ve had weather focused small talk with, are farmers or gardeners. Generally, if I notice something interesting about a person, for example, the person has an interesting product while in line to check out, I’ll ask about the product. And in most cases, the small talk grows into an interesting conversation. But I’ve never walked up to a person and just asked about the weather, as he does in this video.
Fish Blob ...so if you notice someone, who’s a complete stranger that you’d possibly want to get to know, how do you get to know that person without breaking the ice with small talk?
@@jbhann We don't talk to strangers and we don't want to get to know them XD I mean it's really hard to make friends here if not from work or school, that's just how it is. The culture of people who have lived in very isolated mountain villages. But of course we can have situations like the one you described in your comment above. It's just rare. People want to be left alone, we are even less talkative than Germans. we actually consider them to be too direct and talkative. It's not that we are rude but reserved people. The young less so than the old.
In the US and Mexico, it’s really common to have small talk. I feel like my parents are personally offended that I’m not very good at it and they think I’m being “rude.” I just don’t see the point in talking to someone without a purpose or reason. When I visited Berlin, I was surprised that a lot of people actually came up to me and started talking and asking from where I was from...so I think it just depends on the people
This is very true! they even find you weird ¨something is weird with that person¨, if can´t have a small talk with anyone.
👍👍👍
exactly! My mom is so good at making connections quickly. I am exacly the opposite, she is always saying how i did this wrong and that wrong when i talked to a new friend. i just don't have that instinct of able to find topics immediatly, maybe 5 hours after the conversation i would suddenly realise, oh! i could have said that or something

I am American, and when I ask a stranger or someone I don’t know “Hi! How are you?” or “Hi! How’s it goin’?” I genuinely care and am not just saying it as some people may think. If people don’t care, they won’t ask “how are you?” They will just say hi or nod. This is what I notice. I like to be friendly to people, and I find that when I ask someone how they are doing, they really appreciate someone caring enough to ask. I will mention I’m super introverted, but I feel that it’s polite to people as you greet them to ask how they are. They are another person just like you. It shows you respect and appreciate them (especially when it’s a clerk at a store or waitress or waiter) I find it brightens people’s day a bit 😊 when I lived in Germany my friends looked at me weird like “why did you just ask them how they are doing” lol 😅 but I truly like to be friendly and kind to others. ❤
In Brazil we speak basically about everything. It is complicated for us to have just a 'small talk'.

probably, yeah 😂
I'm English born and have been trying to teach myself German for a couple of years, I'm also very poor at making small talk, but sometimes I find myself in circumstances when it is forced upon me, for example, when I'm out walking my dog other dog walkers will start conversations with me and although I'm always polite my naturaly introvert nature makes it feel uncomfortable for me. I should really work on this, but now I'm thinking perhaps I should just move to Germany. Haha!

I never understood why Germanic nations are so strange about small talk. I’m English, I absolutely love to chat with who ever.
Perhaps that’s the Celtic influence. I feel like I’d love to visit Germany because it’s truly a beautiful country and people are polite, but it would also feel quite lonely and cold.
Well, yes. To boil it down, we make it hard for everyone including ourselves. Basically everything, which results in a unique mentality focused on usefulness and direction. And I'm as german as it gets in that regard. However, seeing that the world is vast and amazingly interesting, I'm pretty open and approachable, if done correctly. Meaning, either really funny and original or polite. That sounded german. Well, yeah. I put a lot of emphasis in manners, respect and humour.
It could also be the division between state and people, plus, privacy is kind of a big deal here.
If I were interviewed publicly, with camera and everyting, I'd probably say almost anything conforming. Simply because these things don't really matter anyway.
The people close to you, do.
Granted, this can be used to spin a narrative of something being a majority view, even though it's just people agreeing to get it out of the way, but at the same time this only works on those who don't know.
Foreigners for example. They might hear reports of "Germans think this or that" but in reality, if you think you know what Germans are thinking, then you don't know what Germans are thinking.
Usually, anyway.
That said, I guess I can do smalltalk but it truly is not something I think about, so it tends to catch me off guard a bit, and if I am off guard, then I'm actually on guard :P So you won't be talking to my true self, even during smalltalk.
Also, I realize that that is a tad dishonest, but, perhaps look at it this way:
There have been cases in Germany where women who wore braided twin tails, and had naturally blonde hair, were stopped by police to be questioned about it.
And if such things make you seem like the next obersturmbandführer...then someone talking to you, out of the blue...well, is that really trustworthy?
"I'm just making smalltalk cause I'm bored"
Yeah, maybe. But as sad as it is, many 'just normal things' are being seen as 'bad' (You might already be painting some picture about me right now reading this just because I bring this up) and the powers that be do want people to report such things.
In fact, I think not elaborating on these things is more fun right now, exactly because people are probably putting some horror scenario in their heads now.
And if you do, even though I can assure you that I'm not thinking of anything unsavory, then maybe you can understand some hesitation on the matter of idle chatter.
By “Celtic Influence” I mean that English are a Germanic people/nation as well but we have lived beside our Celtic neighbours for so long that I feel that’s why we are more social than say Germans or Norwegians etc. Also at the same time I find most German behavioural and cultural norms much more natural to mine. I’ve been around other European peoples and their social norms feel much, much more strange to me. Let me note that strange doesn’t always mean bad, just unfamiliar and perhaps uncomfortable for me. This is human nature I don’t mean any insult! So basically I might find it unfortunate that more people didn’t want to chat with me while visiting Germany however I’d still feel very comfortable there as compared to me walking around in Serbia/Poland.

How good are you now? Update
That is interesting because in the US small talk tends to be the most interaction and with serious talk we in the US tend to shut down or argue...neat video.
Doug Arnold ....in the past, it was completely different, where you could have serious conversations with strangers without people getting all bent out of shape. But sadly it appears those days are gone.
@@jbhann I think maybe you're just being nostalgic about when you were younger. I promise that you can still have serious conversations with strangers! It's just a matter of going out and doing it.

The lady at second .50 is the best example of how the germans are at the moment they start to interact with someone they are just coming across; but later, if you are lucky enough, they eventually open themselves and can completely change and express their hidden personality. This phenomenon can be easily shown while germans travel, particularly to destinations with a warmer climate.

Small talk is such a staple of British culture 😂 Usually it is to ease possible awkwardness or initiate authentic conversations. It can at times be draining when it is impersonal/doesn't lead to good conversation. However it can be a good avenue if you're genuinely wanting to get to know someone. So interesting watching how Germans find it 😅
They'd be stunned how ingrained it is here, host did a great job getting people to ease up.

@@user-un6mh4uc7w why these some brats on comments section love to brag about their damn exes
Yeah but I think he has the advantage of doing something where the focus is not the smalltalk itself. He probably asked them if they want to take part, explained that he was running a youtube channel about learning german, and also told them it was going to be about small talk.
That kind of framing makes it far easier and less akward to start small talk.
We are from South Australia and whenever we visit friends and relatives in Germany, there is a lot of small talk between us. We would never greet them with "wie geht's zusammen, und worauf seid ihr heute fixiert?" We smile and say hello to strangers there and they normally do the same to us. Don't think you have a problem, really, Manuel.

👍👍👍 good one
I've talked with some Germans and Scandinavians about how people in the US say "How are you?" and don't actually expect you tell tell them how you are. They find it rude that people would ask you how you are and not expect to hear your response. I tried to explain to them that it's just a common courtesy used between strangers and acquaintances like saying Hello. They simply don't understand it because it seems they take the meaning of the words literally and can't see how it could be taken as an empty courtesy.

Deutsch ist schwer aber schön. Derjenige, der die deutsche Sprache mag, soll immer im Lernprozess bleiben.
Man muss viel lesen, sich mit Anderen kommunizieren, neue Redewendungen verwenden und versuchen, sein Sprachniveu zu verbessern und seinen verwendeten Wortschatz auszuweiten.
Übrigens, ich habe zwar die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit, komme aber aus Syrien.
Where I live in Arizona, the majority of small talk has to due with the extreme summer weather, particularly with people from elsewhere. People visiting especially first-timers are usually so shocked to be feeling 45-49C weather that they can't find anything else to talk about besides how awful it is being outdoors lol. I'd say a solid 80% of the small talk conversations I have with customers at work is them complaining about the weather in the summer, saying "isn't it nice to be able to go outside again" once summers passes, and "Ugh, summer is coming soon, enjoy being outside while you can" starting around march-april.
I think USA as a whole, has way too many differences to lump up the whole country. My early childhood was in Philadelphia, rest of my youth was in North Carolina and now I'm in Arizona, so I can easily confirm interactions are pretty different depending on where you're at. You can't make a blanket statement like "Small talk in USA is this/that" bc the whole vibe is different depending on the regions or even just individual states. You can't talk to a stranger as openly in New York as you can in Georgia, so on and so forth.
I don't know how you can survive the heat there. I can barely handle 30 degrees, let alone the 40's. You're tough or spend a lot of money on your cooling bills.
@@sm3675 summer here is like winter other places - we limit outdoor activities, basically just things involving water, everything else you have to be pretty careful. A lot of people not native to Arizona end up getting rescued or dying from heat stroke here in summer bc they think just because it’s not a humid heat, that somehow all of a sudden makes it not 46° with a uv index of 11 outside and will try to go hiking. And yes, our cost of living and electricity bills are very high especially in summer. I try to make it up north in the state on days off work; contrary to popular belief less than half of AZ Is desert and the rest of the state is high elevation and pretty temperate. Like here in Phoenix today will be 37°, but up north in flagstaff will only be 22°. So we go to the northern cities a lot in the summer for refuge

kein besseres Ende als "Flaca" von Andrés Calamaro! Richtig Toll (und unerwartet) Ihr seid alle spitze und Cari ist so Charmant dass es ist immer eine Freude die Videos zu gucken. (und sorry für die schlechte Grammatik...ich bin schon daran mit der Hilfe von EG!)

Although i'm not a small talk guy but I believe small talk is one of most effective gateway to friendship or relationship.

thank you so much....this video help me a lot and give me more information about small talk in Germany......
Jejeje in Colombia a small talk last al least 1 hour! People is soooo talkative jejeje, specially with older people.
I am so glad I found this channel -
der inhalt ist so gut
I am from Italy, it is very usual here to talk to people like this, especially about the weather, if it's warm or cold, if it's about to rain... we don't like to be silent :)
Well of course, Italian weather most be so nice : )

This was a fun episode. The blonde woman with the sunglasses warmed up at the end. The comments section below is hilarious.
Germans/Finns/Swiss are pretty easy going once you know the basics.
I love that germany, finland etc doesn't make a whole lot of small talk.
I couldn't care less about sports, celebs, weather and all that societal clutter.
How nice to be able to either talk/listen to interesting ideas or just enjoy good natured silence without the pressure of having to entertain others for the sake of it.
It's a chore to listen to small talk and annoying to have to do...
I think the trick is to not ask people personal questions or boring inconsequential questions.
Join a club, get a hobby and make friends naturally from mutual interests.
Avoid being personal - they don't know you, and it will take time to develop the kind of relationship where personal details become things up for conversation.
It's a respectful distance.
I'm totally agree with you. It's hard because people always ask personal things. And the enviroment gets so weird when you don't want to say things that you're not comfort to. And in some many cases, people use those personal things against you; and at the end is not something that is interesting or relevant at all. Is just to get out from the silence, cause silence has become so unvaluable.
Thanks for the tips, I'm not going to lie, this video scared me a lot, I didn't imagine that the Germans were so closed and introspective, very different from Italians, Greeks, Spanish and Portuguese, even the French manage to be more communicative with all their bad mood.

Just found your youtube channel. already loving it. Thank you so much.
Their tone through context sounds so much the same as English I love it
Interesting video, it's also interesting to see how many similarities between languages. I come from Spain, but I speak catalan, a language we speak in Barcelona area, similar to spanish or french!
It's funny to see how different it is from german and we still share words with the same writing and meaning!
For example: the colours purple and blue, in catalan are: blau and lila, same than in german!
The expression "yes, of course" in catalan is "ja, clar" in german, "ja, klar", funny right😉

3:34 "Ich muss mir eine Sonnenlampe kaufen..." für den Winter, süß. Das sag ich im nächsten Winter auch. 😊☀️💡👍
This channel is toll. Just what I have been looking for.
Ich bin ein einfacher Mensch: sehe Manuel, gebe sofort einen Daumen nach oben
Hahahahahaha. Danke für deine Loyalität. 🙃
Manuel Salmann
Ja, wirklich sympathisch!
Aber ich muss vehement widersprechen. Die Deutschen betreiben sehr wohl Smalltalk und sie sind recht gut darin... Zumindest in Großstädten. Ich weiß nicht, wie das an kleinen Orten ist, aber ich glaube, dort auch. :)
😂😂😂😂
🤗🤗🤗
Sheesh, german sounds so soothing despite all of the stereotypes surrounding it.
Auch typisch:
Du fängst den Small Talk mit ein, zwei Fragen an, aber es kommt vom Gegenüber nichts zurück... 😑🤨
Guck mal auf UA-cam nach "Big Talk"!
Amon F. ja und wie gehts dir? gut. was hast du heute gemacht? nichts.
This is by far my favourite episode right now. The lady with the grey sweater is HILARIOUS, she made me laugh out loud.
But hey, why should be do small talk anyway?
It's a British concept and people are not obliged to conform themselves !

I am from Argentina, and there people love to talk about anything in the street. They just enjoy it. Here in Germany people like to say that they are not good at it, but they can do it and they are very kind. But of course they make the conversation shorter, haha.

Mr. Reporter, du warst einfach Klasse. Und die Art wie du am Ende des Videos die tolle Schlussfolgerung gamacht hast, dass die Deutschen eigentlich sich ziemlich gut beim Smalltalk anstellen, ist auch einfach briliant. An das Easy German Team: Was dieses was dieses Produktionsformat angeht, ihr seid die besten, die hier auf youtube gibt...Alle Achtung Und noch was, in diesen harten Zeiten bleibt gesund und passt gut auf!

Das Lied ,,Flaca" am Ende war sehr cool! :D
Excellent presentation. Thanks sir
Как же я люблю немецкий!! Вы так мило мурлыкаете
Ich hab das Video noch nicht gesehen und sage nur ein Wort:
Wetter.
Ja Wetter is schön heute ne?
Hier in den Niederlanden kann man ouch kein Small Talks machen! Es geht eigentlich nur über das Wetter. Es ist nie gut, immer schlecht😉
Luuk Schmitz Um* das Wetter / auch* Smalltalk führen. *
Wie cool. Wir sind nicht alleine!

Manuels Interviewstil ist sehr gut. Seinem Videos bringen mich immer zum Lächeln!
Das freut mich!
Thank you guys
Things I learned in this podcast:
(1) if you want to make small talk with a German, talk about beer (that seemed the easiest, most natural topic when it came up)
(2) Americans start small talk with compliments. I'm an American and I've never really noticed how much we do that.

Iranian have "smal talk" in taxi or at work in breaks, or every where. We love it😁. And it's more about politic, news or economy...
Thanks for your video
Not all Iranians have that. I know people in Tehran like doing small talk and it's lovely at the same time strange to me. 🙂

I have to have a strong heart to do small talks with Germans.
Haha stimmt zu nem gewissen Grad
LOL 😂😂
Wieso Herz?
denn die meisten Deutschen werden es ignorieren und das tut manchmal weh
It is usually considered rude to talk about money with others in the US, and definitely not something for small talk! At least in my experience
It's very interesting. Must say, I also had the impression that US Americans are much more at ease in talking about money than the European. Like, a question such as "How much you earn" seemed more acceptable.

Nice video, good interview, thanks for sharing
Great show... oh, and the lesson learned.

Here in the U.S., I always make small talk. Usually about how bad the weather is or what's happening in the sports world. I really enjoy
chatting with everyone! I stay away from politics or other tough subjects. Just want people to feel good.
Feel good?
As a German, that was exactly what I found terrible in the USA. Again and again I was chatted by uninvited total strangers. What a waste of time.
@@EmilLotter They’re just trying to be nice to you, why do you have to take it as an offense? At least someone cared, even if you don’t like small talk, just say “sorry I have to go” or something...
@@EmilLotter If they knew that you were an antisocial person with no education at all, I'm sure they wouldn't talk to you. And one more thing the USA is not Germany, if you came here, try to adapt to the local customs, because the locals will not adapt to your customs. If that bothers you, just take a flight back to Germany
@@clovisdelins8490 You are 8 months late with your unsolicited advice. At the moment, the question of staying in the USA hardly arises, first of all the USA has to get Corona under control.
You just have to explain to me how you get on the subject of education. Does small talk about sport and weather count as education in the USA? Is there a master's degree in small talk? That would explain a lot about the American level of education ...
@@EmilLotter Well, we’re on UA-cam, a public platform, so I don’t need you to ask me for advice. As for education, here in the United States when a person says hello, you answer back for pure education even if you don’t know the person, it’s a basic rule of EDUCATION here, which apparently you don’t know, and again, when you travel to another country you have to adapt to the local culture, the people here will not adapt to you simply because you don't like small talk. Learn to have a little more respect for the culture of others, you are not the center of the world
Gutes video! Finde ich sehr schön
Thanks for this video.
Das Wetter ist immer eine gute Thema, glaube ich in allen Ländern
person 1: Hey lets small talk
person 2: You want small talk?
Person1: Yea
Person2: Ok bye
6:17 love this boy. He's amazing omg 😍
They are so akward. Love it
I am an autistic female and I must say I find this small talk dislike a quite relieving thing about Germans :D (whom I considered to exhibit similar traits to autistics along with the Finns).
but then again, I love small talk in more 'collectivist' countries and communities, like Latin America or Western Ukraine. it's genuine, unlike the mechanical US/UK small talk in which people don't really care as much about cheering up your day as much as they care about fulfilling certain social etiquette.
In Finnland ist Smalltalk genauso schwer.
We get you, Finns.
@@davidgold1518 Danke! Ich liebe Deutch : )
It takes a little while but is worth it!,
Finns talk about all sorts of interesting things - once you get them started ;P
But thankfully once topic is explored they don't just talk for the sake of it,
and are happy to relax back into communicable silence. Its sooo nice!
I used to be active in a twinning comitee, St Brieuc/ Alsdorf, and well, in these circumstances, small talk was everywhere.
The blonde woman wearing the pink sun glasses is such a mood and I love it!!
I never noticed before that we start with a compliment often in the US! That or the weather, or we complain about something I think...

YOUR NEW PODCASTS? Wow wow wow! What a work, how helpful? And the vocabulary feature? Real time support while you're listening? WOW, saves us big time since I'm not using translator anymore while listening your podcast. Because now it is a continuous non-stop immense experience of an hour and 23 minutes? Music to my ears :) Thank you so so much for the Podcasts. Please do not give up :) It is unbelievably helpful. I mean I still love your UA-cam videos but a) once, twice a week for 10 mins average was not enough. So now we do really have big enough of a meal (Easy German Podcast) to feed our appetite for learning German. Thank you so much Manuel, Cari and Janusz .
