With the english "Die in Hell" you can buy shoes in germany.😂😂
The " Strandkorb " sometimes has some additional useful functions. You can tilt it for more comfortable lying. It has extendable footrests, small folding tables for eating or drinking, a fold-out sunshade and some have lockable storage spaces for valuables when you go swimming
4:21 literally: beach basket
I wonder why this seems to be a German only phenomenon. They are comfy and provide protection against sun or wind. Would be useful on any beach that has varying weather. But probably any other country just goes inside once it's getting windy. 😄
@@verybighomer A real beach chair (woven from willow, with real wood, etc.) costs from 2000€ / approx. 2930 CAD upwards.
Yes, you can also get the “simple factory version” made of synthetic fibers, but these usually cost around €1000 / CAD1465.
Maybe hotel and beach club owners in other countries find it too much effort to store these beach chairs in winter, as they require more space than other beach furniture and they are also difficult to care for and are quite heavy.
Nudist culture in Germany is not only Nudist beaches. If you go to a saunas, for example, any type of clothes are forbidden. You also see much more nudity on TV.
Their are a lot of other examples you will find if you visit. Just a warning! 😊
"Moin" is an abbreviation of the Frisian "Moije Dag", which translates into "good day".
"Good day" would be "Guten Tag" in High German and "Goden Dag" in Low German.
Regarding the swans in Hamburg:
The birds are being taken good care of by a city employee called the "Schwanenvater", during the warm season the swans are set free to roam the central Alster lake and the connecting canals(named "Fleete") in Hamburg City and also to reproduce there.
When winter approaches , all of the city's swans are driven into their winter quarters by the Schwanenvater and some more hands , a smaller pond named "Eppendorfer Mühlenteich", where they are fed and cared for through the winter , also that pond is kept ice-free for them, only to be driven out on the Alster lake again the next spring.
The background of this whole, annually repeatative procedure is an old legend , that says as much , that the city of Hamburg would be always doing fine and would be always prosperous, as long as there would be swans swimming on the Alster lake, so obviously this is taken quite seriously by the city's administration to this very day, as they are still willing to pay for all of the expenses.
Cheers from southern Schleswig-Holstein
man, your pronounciation of the german language is really good!
Thanks. I really like German. I might start learning it actually more comprehensively. I am learning Filipino as well but I like learning languages.
I feel with German it feels awesome once you realize you are pronouncing something right. But it takes time and practice.
@@UntilWeregoing Absolutely! I was going to mention that as well. If you ever going to learn German the pronunciation will not be hard for you, for sure. I think it was in the political party video where you read or repeated something and it was nearly perfect.
Absolut agree.
Surprisingly good where others have a hard time:
"-ei" and "-au" within words are clear and good.
His -"e" and esp. "-a" are on point.
• Since *the church* fk'ed up old ænglish into *"their"* created form of (fake) _"moder english"._
• Same for (fake) _"High German"_ which is again a created form of german HOW *the church* wanted to be & sound, with *main* reason on both sides, *reduction* of german germanic *keywords,* to be *replaced* with one of their (dead) language words of _"Latin"._
@@UntilWeregoingYou need to _rebuild_ some word elements to easy find the context/meaning of german words.
Day was in old ænglish *"tæg"* which is in german *"tag"*
~ Æ/æ is more often E/e in english today & A/a or Ä/ä (which is the modern today form of it) in german.
Ængland & Ænglish should be *Angland & Anglish* since it roots from the Angles "Land of the Angles".
@@UntilWeregoing*"-ch"* in german or better, *"high"* german is lit "fake", since *-ch* never was in german language.
• *the church,* brought it in, to *get rid* of the germanic *-h* which was a spoken *"x".*
*Ich* for english *"i"* is totaly NOT german orign.
> *"i"* or *"ix"* or dialect forms of *"ik"* and *"ike"*
H. german: Ich habe hunger
English: I have hunger
Swabian: I hann hungr
_> Swabian, a south german dialect_
_> Hungr, the germanic origin of Hunger_
*Hungry* was *Hungrig* in old english.
*The church* reformed lit. german germanic based word endings with *"-rig"* into *"-ry"* and those with *"-ig"* into *"-y".*
The recipe for "Matjes" comes originally from the Netherlands. The raw fish fillets (from herrings caught between May and July) and pancreases are pickled in a brine for about 5 days. By the enzymes of the pancreas a fermentation process is started. The other kinds of soused herring in Germany are "Bismarck herring" (fillets pickled in vinegar) and "Rollmops" (herring fillet rolls filled with onion and pickled gherkin, also pickled in mild vinegar).
Northern Germany is underrated by foreign tourists. You have a lot of beautiful cities small and big, but also great nature like the beaches and the lakes.
14:27 Labskaus usually looks worse, because potato, beet and corned beef are hashed or mashed (more like eaten once already), but it tasts really fine.
Please also react to the other 3 parts of this vid, it shows how different we Germans are and how our basic values connect us, even though we are different cultures in one country.
Exactly, it's very recommended to do that. 👍
We usually have nudist beaches at lakes here as well. Germans just dont tend to "over-sexualize" nudity as much as americans do, its just natural. We have mixed Saunas too.
According to legend, the swans warned of an attack by pirates with their loud chatter. Since then, 100 swans in Hamburg have been fed and housed in warm stables in the winter. It is a big event every year when the swans are released back into the Elbe
The video you are looking for is from the YT-channel RobWords and is called „How anyone (including you) can read German“.
Hello from Bremerhaven. From the North Sea coast. We in the state of Bremen (Free Hanseatic city) also like fish. And we also have some stories. One is that around 1900, over 7 million people emigrated here from Europe to America. And today, the US Army still has a base here in the harbour to transport its vehicles.
Yeah island-time sounds like something that could be used on the frisian islands as well.
By the way my perception of Vancouver Island comes from a really cool book by the well known German writer Frank Schätzing "The Swarm: A Novel of the Deep". One of the main places where that story begins is Vancouver Island. It is said that Schätzing wrote most of his book in the Wikaninnish Inn near Tofino. It is a really good book and of course it is translated into English.
Yes I have been to a nudist beach (I am from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern though, so that's not really surprising). Matjes is basically sour pickled herring. I don't like it that much tbh and I am from Northern Germany and like fish. It's an acquired taste I would say and I never managed to acquire it.
You are a very nice guy. Your German pronunciation is very good.❤
Look at the beauty of my Home City Leer/Eastfriesland !😊❤
Yeah! Moin 😊
The Anglo-SAXONS were Germanic tribes that came from the modern-day German state of Lower SAXONY (Niedersachsen). In Niedersachsen they still speak Low German and Frisian which is the closest language to English. Frisian would still be intelligible to speakers of Old English
Thank's for reviewing it, mate!
You do have some nice ferries there at Vancouver island, right? They were build in northern Germany. I saw how they were built.
Also, at the end of WW2 an allied bomber got downed by air defence in my (later) neighbourhood. It was a Canadian machine. One crew member was found dead in the garden of my family's home by the then owner. When we renovated the attic a decade ago we found a canadian army revolver. The previous owner hid it underneath the wooden floor. Presumably he expected uncertain times ahead.
Lastly, 5 out of 6 siblings of my greatgrandma emigrated to the US in late 19th century. One moved on to Canada, BC, Vancouver bay. He bought good land on an island as they were farmers. Albertsen or may be written Albertson. As they left their home it was in Denmark. But it's since then german again. I saw a black and white postcard early 20th century of a newly built little single lane bridge to this island. I could find it at Wikipedia as it had it's 100th anniversary.
So greetings across the Atlantic, mate! 🙋♂️🍻
Amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Cheers from Van Isle
often tourist go to Munich, Frankfurt and Berlin and say:' I was in Germany.' Or even if you live for years in the South, the North is very different and has its own traditions. A comic strip/movies wrote by Brösl(Kiel) tells about the differences, in a funny way. It called 'Werner', with many inside joks that mostly only people from Schleswig -Holstein understand. The best scene of his 1. Movie is when Werner commemteted a sokkergame🤣maybe you find it on TH-cam.
15:30 in the rest of Germany it's coffee and cake time at 15.00.
I am from Rostock and we have a normal and a nudist beach part. So yeah I visited multiple times its just normal and much more casual than you would think.
The Baltic Ocean is so friendly, you can hardly see the tides, its very flat, nice sandy beaches, some ppl say its pretty cold but Iam fine with it
300 l/a averages out to about 6 or 8 cups (as seen in the video) of tea a day or around 0,92 US-Starbucks ’Trenta’-size cups ^^
A nice hot tea whilst watching the winter storms whipping over the North German beaches is an experience of another kind.
Thanks for the info!
@@UntilWeregoing
just fyi:
most of Germany is further north than Vencouver (49° 17′ N)
(e.g. Stralsund, Baltic Coast 54° 19′ N // Berlin, 52° 31′ N)
You won't believe but we go to nudist beaches whenever we are at the baltic sea. It is fun to swim like this and enjoy the sun.
Oh, I would also love lonely beaches as a North German water rat who lives near the North Sea. Whether it`s the North Sea , the Baltic Sea, or the Mediterranean. I love going swimming there and being on the beach.💞🏊
Been to Vancouver Island 5 years ago on a trip around BC in a RV. Was an amazing time even though we had no luck seeing whales. Loved the scenery and nature of the Island. After that we travelled on via Kamloops, Golden, Revelstoke, Banff, Jasper and back through some tiny one-laned Highways to Vancouver.
Some day I will come back...gorgeous country and people.
Thanks for sharing!
I really admire your German pronounciation! It is really really good!
Thank you! 😃
I‘m from and living in north germany, close to the sea, but Fish isn’t my preferred dish. I eat them so less I can. But I love Matjes-Brötchen. It looks not good but it tastes delicious. 😍
Thanks for sharing!

Have your dinner first, or it'll end in binge eating...
Three cups of East-Frisian-Tea is not so much, because the typical East-Frisian-Rose cups are very small. But the tea could be very strong.
Hamburg is a young state because its such a big city with lots of opportunities which obviously attracts young people. But if you are just getting old or become a parent you would want to move to Lübeck where there is less noise pollution less traffic and less people
Hello! I like drinking tea. I used to do it a lot when I was a teenager. (Now I drink more herbal teas or indian spicy teas). By the way: In the rest of Germany coffee is a bit more popular, I think. 🫖🍵☕
'Island time'is a very god phrase and describes it exactly, but on German Islands in the North Sea you have a weather depending time, especially in. winter.
The fun fact is, that the Saxons from the nothern coast of lower soxony moved out to england round about 700 years after christ, the trieb of the Angeln from danmark did the same, at the same time,........ now you know what the british mean, if they tell u something about the Anglosaxons..
Matjes Hering wird in in einer Salzlake eingelegt für ca. eine Woche es ist eine Form der haltbarmachung. Man kann es grob mit dem Einlegen von Salzgurken vergleichen oder im Englischen mit Pickeld Cucamber
I am suprised she talked about beer and Bremen at the same time and did not mention Beck's..
I think they try to avoid brand names.
Do you the know the mountain called the Chief near Squamish? When I first saw it, I immediately knew I wanted to (rock) climb it. It’s a beautiful climb with a nice view of the bay.
Yes, and I have hiked it too! Amazing views. I will try to share a photo on my "community page".
There is also a viewing platform and suspension bridge at the top area now, andyou can take a gondola coming down (or up) if you wish.

I go to nudest beach on Zingst every summer😊
I live in Stralsund ❤

Btw, I would like to mention that your attempt to copy the German pronunciation is very good, above average. I think you could speak passable German within a very short time
10:17: It is about the close relation of Low German to English, not High German. In fact, Low German is more closely related to Dutch and English than to High German. Which you can see at words like Schiet, Schipp, Pott, Pann, Buddel etc. and grammar, which has no dative and accusative cases, but only an objective case.
Cheers thanks
05:06 1. No, 2. Wouldn't mind

And here is the video about understanding German for English speakers without learning it you are looking for

Btw. Plattdeutsch comes from flat-German (the German 0of the low regions near the coast which are mostly flat...
Matjes is raw fish with oniens and vinegar. I personally do not like fish very much, BUT I am from the South of Germany. To each its own.
Elmar from Germany
Actually pickled, fermented young herring filets.
Personally, I'd prefer 'Rollmops'
Matjes is salted, no Vinegar.
The woman who conducts the tea ceremony, Celia Hübl, is a mystery to me. She speaks very good High German but she has a south German or Austrian name (Hübl). Why I think this? There is an "e" missing between the "b" and the "l" in her name... I think that she married a man from southern Germany or Austria...
Das Internet sagt "Hübel steht für: alte deutsche, um 1850 nur noch ober- und mitteldeutsche Form von Hügel. Das das L fehlt kann, muss aber nicht ein Hinweis auf Süddeutschland sein. Manchmal wurden auch im Norden mal Vokale verschluckt.
I was at a nudist beach but not in germany tho.^^
11:26 the hanseatic league (the merchants) won a war against the kingdom of denmark btw. Just to show how powerful they were.
