Just bought Mr. Kampfner’s latest book, “Why the Germans Do it Better” and discovered he had done this episode of Easy German with Cari (and Janusz)! I really respect the work these folks are doing. I hope to meet them in Berlin someday.
Just started reading the book tonight and was so surprised when the mention of this video popped up
Me too. Never encountered this interview before starting to read his book and I learned German with Easy German... 😄
Qqwséřþhhh
and also the mr kampfner's book was very well received. how cool
Ich studiere gerade in Deutschland und ich hab bemerkt, dass die jungen Leute sehr sehr offen zu Ausländern sind. Sie wollen unsere Kultur kennenlernen, unseres Essen kochen zu können. Das war überraschend aber wirklich schön!
Gegen Inder hat auch niamand was,weil die immer freundlich sind
Ya wohl .. Ich bin völlig deiner Meinung ..
Woher kommst du?
Sorry, but that only applies to certain 'preferred' nations. Others, like those coming from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa are treated so much different than the 'preferred' foreigners, or as they like to call themselves 'expats': you know like the English, the French, the super exotic Australians, the other super exotic Asians and Latin or South Americans, or if you come from the USA, then Germans look at you like a piece of candy. If you tell them you come from Bulgaria, from example, they would smirk and ask why aren't you speaking perfect German already (cuz u know...Eastern Europeans are just here as Gastarbeiter, not the privileged 'expats')...so yeah, but no, SORRY, my 10-year experience in the very 'tolerant' Berlin has been totally different...
@@omni-neo Berlin is generell eine eher raue und unfreundliche Stadt. Dieses bunte und weltoffene Bild trifft nicht auf den 0815 Berliner zu, sondern eher auf Studierende und Leute aus der Szene
The thing I admire about Germany compared to the rest of the world is not only have you kept your manufacturing strong but also kept it spread through the country.
So all towns and villages seem to have something to attract people
Ich hatte Deutsch vor 46 Jahren in Freiburg im Breisgau studiert. Ich bin einverstanden mit der Frau von dem ersten Ehepaar mit der Beschreibung von Pünktlichkeit, Ehrlichkeit und davon weiss Man woran Man liegt
Richtig..
No one mentioned Engineering, I think they were being bashful. So I will say it.
German Engineering is the best in the World.
What are you talking about? They still have very positive opinions, more than others from other countries would have said about their country. Let's be serious, Germans are not modest at all in general.
Wait i have learned little German 😂
Wenn es viel Geld gibt, kommt es Automatisch.
@Hans Ruperts: Easy, slugger . . .
Well, good thing i'm learning German then! Because i'm going to study mechanical engineering!
That's absolutely true
4:40 Bieeer! ...sagte sie und trank österreichischen Radler... :D
Gösser ist besser als Puntigamer. 😅
@@jp_engineer stiegl 🍻
As an Italian, I can say that Germans are the best when it comes to public facilities, infrastructure, punctuality and public order.. they also make the best beer you can find..
They need to improve fashion and social attitude perhaps
(Not all of them are "cold" though)
I would love to live in München one day!
DB is always late.
@@yuyang105 And at a little Village you are happy when there is one bus per hour. And you are right DB is not that punktual. But mostly germans are angry when you are 5 minutes too late. I hope my english is not that bad😂
hahaha Fashion. Crocs mit Socken??
@@Caneladorada Birkenstock! everybody has one. Some people even three.
Czech beer is better.
"Und Bier!"
*proceeds to show an austrian beer to the camera*
I've been living in Oldenburg for some months now, and I appreciate German punctuality, their straightforwardness and their kindness. I feel safe and welcomed here! Also I could totally tell the woman was from Latin America when she mentioned punctuality. That's a cute accent which I also probably have.
What are Germans good at: making rules for everything. 😅😅
😂
So true. I guess that the infamous EU directive 1677/88 on cucumber curvature must be also originating from Germans 😅
Nothing is wrong with having rules, so long as it's gut for everyone.
@@MrNhojstrebor you have forgot that your typing in English and you said gut instead of good :)
@@magdy890 You understand anyway, Thank you.
John hat einen sehr guten deutschen Akzent!
Er kann wirklich sehr gut Deutsch ,vielleicht wäre es cool,wenn er uns Tips und seine Methode um Deutsch zu lernen geben könnte.Liebe Grüsse ♥️was mich bewundern es ist,das Vokabular,dass er kennt.Ich empfehle euch die Postcast von Easy German im Spotify zu hören
Ja! John hat sehr unglaublichen Akcent und wirklich ist es eine Inspiration für uns. Dankeschön dafür easy german! Wir liebe euch! ❤️🙏🙏🥰
@@ginasv1857 Seine Eltern kommen aus Deutschland 😊
I am Vietnamese, I am very addicted to Germany and I watched a lot about this country. In my opinion, German is good at creating a lot of famous brands which are well-known all over the world (Addidas, Nivea, BMW,...). I will try to find a chance to study abroad in Germany soon to experience the actual life in this lovely country!
I'm waiting for your arrival 😁
3000 years of germanic history are waiting for you :D
i am surprised nobody said
science
philosophy
engineering
and art
also
-making ridiculous things verboten
-making bureaucracy extremely painful
-rules, rules, rules
-watching citizens like big brother
-robbing citizens via taxes (very good at)
I am really surprised too
I suppose most people from other parts of rhe world were already aware of these things. One thing Germans dont do is boast.
@@Theoneandonly88able That´s a good thing.
You mean verboten or verbatim?
Deutschland, the European version of Japan
Patient?....go to a supermarket, fill up a hand basket and try to check out....you'll quickly feel the pressure and impatience of the German people haha
which is absolutely annoying btw
have you asked for a quick check out ?
Usually this should work.
I noticed this 😂schnnell
I am right now in some foreign country. And I did notice, that in this I‘m really german 😂😂😂I wait respectful in the bakery. Every time, people go in front of me, so annoying, because you have to fight for your right to get the bred and I get very angry, while the other people stay very cool. In Germany you would get killed by this action! My nongerman husband was doing this also once in some petrol station, driving in front all the other cars, they were all waiting. One man got out of the car and I thought „Oh my god, we will not survive this action.“ And what happened? 😁The man asked so politely, if he can help us, was speaking very nice talk with my husband about 5 minutes and invited us in the end even to his family! In Germany by doing this people would kill you. 🙄Here people kiss you. So in this case, I really love the people here, that they are not so german. Only, when I want to buy a bred in the bakery, I wish the people to become german. 😜
I agree (I am German). Patience is not exactly a German strength
Efficiency, honesty, correctness, directness, forthrightness, making and having things done well.
Als jemand aus den Bahamas, der in den USA studiert, schätze ich definitiv das deutsche öffentliche Verkehrssystem. Ich habe ein Austauschsemester an der Freie Universität gemacht und jeden Tag mit dim BVG zu fahren war super schön.
Definitely engineering and chemistry. Many many pharmaceuticals come from Germany. Then of course beer and bread
Come in France if you want to see many pharmacies 😂😂
I'm surprised so few mentioned bread!
After having lived for 4 years in the US I learned to appreciate some German traits. What comes to mind is efficiency, being detail oriented, having a long attention span, being direct and mostly honest, and - very surprising for me - compared to the US the relation to your superior is much more on an equal footing (okay not everywhere), despite calling your boss by their firstname in the US, work life balance, time for your family
Politically, trying to find a balance between economic growth, workers rights, social security and sustainability (trying is the word here).
On a material level, certainly bread (in all variations), beer, engineering of course, Sahnetorte (cream cake), Wurst (sausages as well as cold cuts); plumbing, online-banking, ...
Examples of what we still have to learn: seeing the good things (we are perfect in looking for "das Haar in der Suppe", finding fault in everything); sometimes letting go of safety in favor of taking risks
Just watched this video again! One of my favorites. John Kampfner is great. Thanks again.
Hatsoff to Team Easy German...you'all just take up such real topics and then do the proper and wholesome approach to captioning it in 2 languages in a way that's not really demeaning either language...
What more can I say about What Germans are good at?
*They are definitely good at making German Easy to Learn*
✌️✌️👏👏👏👏🥰🤗👍👍👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You are very good at doing Videos about German Culture and Language.Thanks for being so wonderful!
Ich wohne in Deutschland seit 5 Jahren und habe mich hier sehr gut intrigiert. Ich finde eure Videos toll und großartig. Würde gern einmal mit euch in Berlin auf die Straße gehen und Leute interviewen.
Leica! My dad bought a Leica M5 over 30 years ago and he passed it down to me, i use it sometimes to do photography as a hobby.
Do you still get films for an analog camera?
awesome. very entertaining. the interviewer killed it.. nice accent.
I just finished the German course on duolingo a few days ago and I was so happy to understand around 75-80% of the words! The only thing is, they speak sooo quickly..
@Maikind K. Yes, I just need to get used to it, immerse myself in German. Luckily I also have a German friend to talk to and practice with. Thank you :)
You can slow the video down by clicking on the settings icon in the video! :)
But I guess that's normal. Whenever you listen to a different language you have the impression they talk to fast. It's just normal 😘 Would probably be the same for me with your language. Which is?
@@thomasb.2506 It is English, I am from Australia :)
Wieder ein informatives Video :D
I am preparing for exam. I am totally depend upon your
Videos for all modules especially hören. It's really helpful. Thank u so much for your effort.
Tja ein Wort, die Ordnung...
Sie lieben es, und ich finde es auch einer der wichtichsen Dinge im Leben 🤗
Engineering, organization and structure and of course saving money.
Danke sehr, liebe Easy German!
Really appreciate your work into making the video
Vielen Dank für das Video 🙏
It’s kinda interesting that people say mostly qualities instead of things)
Ну уж нет, пиши на немецком!!
Faceless Man es ist ziemlich interessant dass Menschen am meisten anstatt Sachen über Qualitäten sprechen
Maybe because ‘machen’ can mean ‘to make’ and ‘to do’.
When cari speaks I feel like I know all german.
Loved this particular video.....seen most of them, but this .....really liked .....Gracias!!
Ich lebe in Österreich und ich liebe die Deutsche Sprache, die Kultur, die Kunst, das Soziale System und die Freundlichkeit der Menschen. Ich möchte bald auch Deutschland besuchen!
Your public transportation system, national rail system, food, cars and a ethic to work hard to achieve in life.
The public transportation system is not good xd
Well speaking out of experience always on time rather be early than late😁👍
When you are on time, you are late. When you are early, you are on time. :P
Love your videos Guys! A new subscriber here! Greetings from Guatemala. 🇩🇪 🇬🇹 😎 ✌
Thank you Fernando!
0:36 und 0:38 on spot exactly that the thing i love the most from Germans cause i am the same maybe in my past life i was German who knows but many cultures need to learn that at least by going to live in Germany for 2 3 months. 🙏
I would say "discipline and work ethic" at first.
Totally wrong. Have been fucked over and know others (mostly foreigners, of course) who have been totally mistreated and fucked over by totally German companies...
Bier, Brot, Fussball
Wunderbare Dichter und Komponisten
Liebe deine Videos 🤗👍🏻
Das war super interessant!
John's book is excellent. 👌🏻
Tolles Video! Ich lese gerade John's Buch. 👏
After watching a bit of series I finally got one German sentence without needing to look for the English subtitle -> Er ist Author und Journalish aus London! Horay
Punktlich,
Honest
According to the people interviewed in this video, I believe what I got out of it is that Germans are as polite ad modest as they can be while being so honest. I like how they think and then give concrete answers, and I love how some of them show how much introspection they do even while thinking profoundly. I'm sure Germany has problems just like other countries have challenges of various severity, but I admire how many of them are honest and open about what they think could be better about Germany. Many from other countries are taught to be proud of their country but don't really know what there is to be proud or not so proud about their own country.
Last but not least: one other thing I think Germans are really good at: making complicated, super long sentences and words!
Ich habe fur zwei Jahren Deutsch studiert und es ist immer schwer fur mich zu verstehen jemand bis um John. I konnte alles verstehen. Vielen, vielen dank! Bitte, zuruckkomm!
Love the video!
8:50 Sie hat es eindeutig verstanden, worauf es ankommt.. Hut ab!
Sehr gut!
Weltmeisterbrot 😍
4:47 gösser ist Bier aus 🇦🇹 😂
ich bin erstaunt wie wenig Leute Autos gesagt haben
Ich auch. Niemand hat so geile Autos wie die Deutschen.
Engineering! I love their medical equipment too!
Das mittelalterige Paar ist so süß!
Hallo, ich wohne in Köln seit vier Jahren. Ich freue mich das, dass ich in Deutschland wohne
Wow 😲😲 Cari hat sich in den letzten 4 Jahren kein bisschen verändert. Sie ist immer noch wunderschön 😍😍
Wie sie bei 04:45 ihr österreichisches Bier hoch hält und sagt dass es typisch Deutsch ist hahaha
I just bought his book.. And came to know about this video from 1st chapter
Danke schön
Sehr toll.
Mr.John spricht sehr perfekt Deutsch😍
Cari das war gute Fragen
Danke noch mal
2:52 Dieser Typ ist ein Legende... Er hat so richtig und ehrlich erklärt... Respekt 👍👍
Gutes Thema
I’m from Poland, and Here in my country we often (more like always 😉) says that when somethig come from Germany This thing is better. Qualitywise. I love tolerance athmosphere in Berlin, but even if a I visited other places in Germany, I don’t know if The same athmosphere is everywhere. And Yes brot is good and beer is good.
Rules, bureaucracy and what this lady said at 1:10
Doesn't matter if it's gonna hurt, they would say it right on your face
Der Däne ist echt cool. Er könnte glatt Werbung für Bartstylingprodukte machen.
The Germans are good at philosophy, literature, sciences, and CARS :D
schoenes video. komme aus Kanada, hab in Deutschland vor 15 Jahre gelebt. wuerde mich sagen, dass sie meinen was sie sagen. Und auch Nachtisch. Sie machen dass auch gut. :)
WOW WOW WOW, SUPER TOLL MEGA GEIL ! :D
4:45 Stimmt. Gösser Bier ist gut aber dieses Sorten Sie hat ist fast ein Saft. Auf jeden Fall gefällt es mir....
Die Deutschen die ich kenne sind meistens sehr sympathisch! Ich denke, dass sie sind auch offnener als ich erwartet hatte. Andere Deutschen machen kostenlose Videos wie dieses, was so so so so nett und hilfreich ist!
BROT!!!! AUF JEDEN FALL!
Ich danke euch
6:55 sehr intiligenter Mann
Ich denke ,dass Deutschen gute Autos machen! Auch müssen Deutschen stolz für eure Wissenschaft, Medizin und unterschiedliche komplizierte Maschinen sein. Ich kenne aus meiner persönlichen Erfahrung. Ich arbeite im Betrieb und unsere Anlagen bestehen nur aus deutschen Maschinen. Das ist wirklich schöne Qualität!!! Das ist meine Meinung 😀
My sister lives in Munich and, although I've never lived there, I've visited Germany multiple times. Germans do many things very well. The towns are clean, safe, and well run. People are polite and civilized. Food is delicious and the beer is out-of-this-world. The women are so good-looking! My sister enjoys a high quality of life over there - she says that social services are comprehensive and stress-free to deal with. And all this without mentioning German achievements in science, medicine, engineering, commerce, and the arts. It's a fine country.
p.s. John Kampfner's book on Germany is excellent.
Die beste Antwort finde ich „sich in Schlangen anstellen“ 🙃 Das machen sie aber echt gut:))
Ehrlichkeit ist echt typisch deutsch - bei den deutschen weiß man immer woran man ist ; alles sauber halten, versuchen, gute Laune zu haben; gute Manieren haben, kompetent bei der Arbeit sein, Regeln befolgen (vielleicht sind sie darin manchmal zu gut), ja, Brotbacken auf jeden Fall ... und guten Geschmack in Mode, Dekoration, Architektur ... perfektionistisch und detailorientiert ... und viele andere ...Tolle Leute wirklich. Ich vermisse die Deutschen, da ich mich mit den Leuten in Kanada vergleichen kann und sie in allem so viel besser abschneiden.
Der man ist ja ein konkretes Beispiel für Ehrlichkeit. So kritisch zu sich selbst. 3:31
I seriously can not find something bad about Deutschland! Thanks for the video from Brazil.
Musik, Philosophie, Wissenschaft, Autos, Fußball, etc.
La penúltima chica no respondió nada haha. Admiración para la señora de Ecuador con su nivel de alemán, me encantó.
Wir bauen gute Brücken! Unsere Planung und Organisation ist Weltklasse!
In welcher Stadt passiert das? (Ich spüre ein eigentümlicher Akzent.(so scheint es mir..)
I felt, especially in the woman who came during the last part of the video, something akin to shame. I don’t know why, but I felt so humbled by that
as far as I was able to scroll down I am very glad that no comments referenced WWII and Nazism.
John Davolta except you. Congratulations for ruining a wonderful thing
@@JudgeHill wtf? Are you serious...?
John Davolta Yup. There’s always that one dolt that brings up the war and guess what: today it’s you!
@@JudgeHillall I did was just to mention how glad I was that no comments referred to the war. You are quite sensitive my friend....
Ich bin Marokkaner und ich lebe in Marokko, ich kenne viele deutsche Menschen, die nett und hilfreich und ehrlich sind.
Brot!
Gott sei Dank 😄
The two queues in traffic jams and autobahn are something good? It is only usefull for Audis and BMW that arrived to the queue after you to try to accelerate and overpass and be the first in the "fast row" making the whole thing to get worst. And people in the front of the slow queue ALLOW THEM to pass!
Good at queuing? Amazed that so many interviewees said that. Not in any of the baker's/butcher's/etc.shops that I've ever been in! And in supermarkets people offen try to push in. Bus stops are also a nightmare! The British are definitely better at it. Good: Sozialsystem/Krankensystem/Brot/Bier/Gründlichkeit/Zuverlässigkeit/Umweltbewusstsein 😃
Für mich was die Deutschen gut machen ist dass sie sehr offen sind und hilfreich. Das habe ich letztes Jahr gemerkt wenn ich in Berlin war. Und Fussball machen die Deutschen auch gut, ich möchte gerne in der Zukunft ein Spiel von Dortmund besuchen 🇩🇪⚽️
Sie können gut zwischen Arbeit und Spaß trennen. Wenn es Zeit ist zu arbeiten, dann arbeitet man. Und wenn's Feierabend ist, dann Schluss mit der Arbeit. Diese Ordnung gibt's nur in Deutschland auf diese wunderbare Weise. Und im Gegenteil dazu, was viele Menschen sich vorstellen, machen diese Regeln, Pünktlichkeit und Ordnung das Leben viel besser. Ja, man muss zu diesen Dingen beitragen, indem man sich dran hält. Aber im Gegenzug erwartet man dasselbe von jeder anderen Person, und das ist schön.
Die Deuschen Schulbildung sind gut
Als ausländer finde ich die deutschen ehrlich, pünktlich, nett und offen mit Ausländern
Was Gutes machen? Die Abfalltrennung! 😂 Was ich in Deutsche liebe ist das sie fast immer ernst und tief sind. Ich bin Italienerin, iche hab ein Jahr in Trier gelebt, das hat mir wircklich gefallen!
Man kann auch von Easy German sehen, noch mehr wenn Cari und Janusz dabei sind!
Nachhaltigkeit.
Ehrenamt.
