If it isn't already, I'd recommend turning on the autosubscribe feature in the options subpage on your User CP.

So convenient.

Grrrrr. It's five in the morning on a Monday and some dick just woke me up. Awright, the week starts off awesome!

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I'm not a fan of autosubscribe but the option is there. I would prefer if there was just a separate "threads I posted in" page to differentiate from favorites.

Gute Woche Anfang!

Also, why are you Germans so cautious of eating meat? I can't imagine being a vegan. EVER. Meat is awesome

Hitler was a vegetarian as well.

another rule of germanGAF: on those pages where Döner isn't mentioned, Hitler shall be.

So apparently I have two things in common with der fuhrer. "Teetotalism" (never heard that term before I read that link) and non-smoking.

I have no idea what is going on in that trailer, so I'll just post my favorite scene from Das Leben der Anderen again. The joke is amazing.

that's a styrian accent, we call it "barking" for obvious reasons.

it's a "song" about a local butcher and here i give you the original (at 1:14)

and i can't understand half of it either.

 

[TheFeedingHand]

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Over the last few months I woke up three or four times panicking because I thought I had an exams to get to. I graduated in november -_-

That's Bat Country. It all makes sense. Reverse vampires!

Ich lerne gerade Deutsch!
Lessons finally started today, mostly stuff I already know but hopefully by the end of this year I'll be able to communicate nicely with people.

"Ich möchte diesen Teppich nicht kaufen, bitte!"

Scheiße!

^ I know the most important word, see!

I'd wish I could afford lessons! This diabolical language is a nightmare to learn by oneself.

From my experience, the most important thing is to always mention that you want water that's not carbonated -> "stilles Wasser".

Btw, am I the only person on GAF who lives in Bavaria?

 

[TheFeedingHand]

I've also noticed germans pronounce "guten" as "gun", for example in "guten tag" or "guten morgen"

Move to Germany. Easiest thing.

Depends on where you are. Where I'm from, the "t" will always be pronounced as a "d", for example. We wouldn't skip the letter entirely, we'd just change it.

t -> d
k -> g
p -> b

Just the local dialect. Nothing to worry about!

I just said I was from Bavaria!

Though I don't really speak like that (only when talking to locals and old people) since my mum made sure I knew how to pronounce things they way they're meant to be pronounced.

Münchner, reporting in!

THE FUCK IS THIS? that's it. I give up on german.

The fun thing about Germany is, you can travel for 50 km in any direction and encounter an entirely new German dialect.

Put an Allgäuer, a Berliner and a Ruhrpottler in one room and watch them struggle to communicate.

I mean, we can't even agree on a name for buns. Semmeln? Brötchen? Wecken? Schrippen? Rundstücke?

Hummel Hummel.

Maus Maus. Äh, ich meine Mors Mors. Sorry, Allgäuer und so.

 

[brotkasten]

I think we have two more people from Austria.
