It feels like "a culture is there" because there actually IS a culture.
It feels like it isn't just about shopping because it is about christmas.
4:36 Almonds - That's candied almonds. There are also candied apples or various fruits covered in chocolate. Meat is not candied here.
5:51 Kale - is cooked for hours with pork bones, smoked pork, mettwurst and bacon. Tastes great in winter.
3:07 "I'll try anything!"
5:50 "You lost me at vegetables."
That went quick. 🤣🤣🤣
No don't worry. They still exist. Last year all C restrictions were abolished. I think only one year there wasn't any christmas markets at least in bavaria and we had one of the strictest restrictions in all of germany 😅
Tbh your pronounciation at the beginning was very good 😁👍
last question of yours: don't worry. a little global crisis will not end that. ;-)
You talked aboutvthe size of Germany. Well, it's about half the size of Texas, but there are 3 times more people living in Germany than in Texas.
GREAT!!!! You did so well, pronouncing guten Tag, with clearly not any accent, skipping the "e" in the suffix of "guten", and doing the "a" in Tag as a clear a, not shifting to the american "a" in "and" ; the "u" not shifting to a "u" like in uniform. All habits, that the americans never get rid off. You did very very well!!!
The ornament price there looked expensive, but remember those are almost always handcrafted by families and smaller businesses.
If they make money once a year it has to have a certain price.
Also they'll last you a couple winter seasons at least if you take care and a pretty souvenir on your tree can bring back priceless memories 🎄
English is mandatory as a second language in German schools. I had French as well, but I've kind of forgotten most of it over the years.. :/
Edit: Btw the christmas markets are back. Don't worry ^^
English is not a compulsory first foreign language, it is just the most widely taught. On the one hand, education is a matter for the federal states and especially for the second foreign language it depends very much on which teaching staff are available.
Especially in areas close to the border, the language of the neighboring country is usually also offered as a first foreign language. Even I, although I didn't grow up so close to the border, could have taken French as my first foreign language and Ancient Greek as my second - even if Ancient Greek is very strange when it is offered and the course didn't take place due to a lack of participants. 😕
This is not a selection from Germanys most beautiful Christmas markets. Just like so many other "lists", DW simply has chosen some big cities with big touristical markets. And Bremen?... 🙄🤔 The best markets are in smaller towns in mountains like Harz, Ore Mountains, etc.
dont worry. they all are open. everything is back to normal. i assume (depends on the weather) that this year some records will be broken.
greetings
Hallo and Guten Tag war verry good.
regarding speaking english: there is a trend forming in europe. a variant of english is becoming standard for many international conversations, but because various people are translating their idioms and phrases from their languages to english, and on the other hand, usually do not follow meticulously the usage of different tenses (essentially, it is present, past and future, done). native english speakers (especially from UK) have a hard time to understand it. americans have it easier because they went through a similar process in the last 300+ years.
just as a funny side effect.
oh, years ago, I read, that world wide, only 3% of all english conversations are held between two native english speakers. I guess, that number is now a bit smaller.
Germans learning,, English, France, and some Times,, Latein and spanisch,, in school.. - /-9 - 11 years.. In border arias we try to speak, Dutch,, Danish, and., Bavarian, 😁😁
In the Middle Ages, Advent (the 4 weeks leading up to Christmas) was a time for fasting -- no meat allowed, but you could eat fish, eggs, cheese ... that fast was broken after Christmas Mass (midnight on Dec. 24) with the "Mettwurst" ("Mette" is a dialect word for Mass, "Wurst" is sausage). So yeah, people bought meat at the Christmas markets to have it on hand once they were allowed to break the fast on Christmas Day.
And Mettwurst -- a sausage made from coarsely minced, spiced and smoked pork -- is still around, its religious origins forgotten, and has become a favorite ingredient for hearty cold-season soups like lentil, barleycorn or split pea.
A Brit (Polish also) here have probably spent more time in Germany that any other country other than the Uk and USA. I love the Christmas markets but we always go mid week as they are so busy, Been several times to the ones in Munchen and Nuremberg, its about an hour of so on the train between the two cities so we do them as part of one trip. Also to the one in Koln where i have family. Also been to markets on Poland. Sweden and Austria all just as good and all put you in that Christmas spirit,
I’m British but I lived in Nuremberg for a couple of years in the mid 90 s. Christmas time was fabulous there. I’m experiencing major nostalgia. The Christkindlesmarkt doesn’t seem to have changed. Bratwurst buns were amazing.
We do have a ministry of health, a ministry for the protection of consumers and other institutions that monitor and regulate foods, agro-chemicals and additives. But even here the unhealthy ingredients are coming, like fructose-glucose (corn) syrup, which is used in cheap foods.
So we're looking for handmade, traditional foods, and some can be found in christmas markets.
For most people, a big roast is part of the holiday tradition. Goose, duck or turkey for christmas, lamb for easter, a carp for new years.. but since there's less big families and good meat us expensive, more and more people settle for steak, fondue or make their own tradition.
Nuts and fruit in winter have been a rare treat in the past, so they were kept for the holidays.
7:30 Kale is served with Pinkel in Bremen, not Kassler! I know that even I've never been to Bremen. Pinkel is a very special sausage with a unique texture because of the grain in it. It's a delicious seasonal dish. Seasonal, because the kale can only be harvested after the first frost. Similar to ice wine in southern Germany.
"Guten Tag " perfect 🇩🇪👍
When you remember the words of charlton heston about weapons you can think about a similar quote about Germans and Christmas markets
😂😂
I was at a Christmas market in Germany yesterday, the first ones are finally opening again.
Yes, we have a Federal Minister for Food and Agriculture.
The rules about what can be in food, including advertising for fatty food, are highly regulated here.
Advertising specifically for children is soon no longer allowed, that was already decided this year, maybe it will happen next year and there is less and less advertising about fast food but many want it to be banned completely. Let's see if it happens.
German products contain less sugar and fewer chemicals than in American products, this applies to pretty much everything related to food.
Kale with smoked pork, cabbage sausage and potatoes is a winter food in Germany.
The reason is because the kale is ripe in winter so it is a season food.
In northern Germany it is popularly eaten in november until february.
Die off?! Hell do you know how hard and long winter is here?
We have winter here for half a year and often only 7 hours of sun a day. The markets are one of the most important things because without them the winter here would be really terrible.
So no, the markets exist as normal as they did before Corona and they will never die out.
In the north the cold is maximum of -15 degrees but in the south of Germany... Hell naw
Last year the coldest day was -23 degrees in Germany so yeah...
Thats like in america -9,4 °F
I am so hypet in dezember startig the markets again^^
We actually did have Christmas Markets during the pandemic. Reduced in scale, and you had to be both masked and prove vaccination status by wearing color-coded armbands (that also granted you access to downtown stores), one color per day or week, I forget. The vendors would check for those armbands. It wasn't as much fun, yes, but we made the best of the situation -- my home town even erected the yearly "tallest Christmas Tree in the world" despite that pesky virus. (It's actually a 45 meter-tall scaffolding construct, covered with half a forest of live firs, btw. Good marketing, though!))
Nothing butchered there, that “hallo, guten Tag” was pitch perfect.
A several centuries old tradition doesn't die out because it couldn't happen once or twice.
Also will there be a part two, cause it seems like that was not the end of the video... 🤔
I'm from the city with the large two level carussel you saw in the beginning btw! Have ridden it many times as a kid. It sadly burned down a couple of years ago but was remade exactly to the original design. Adults only ride it to accompany little kids though. Ah! No, correction! I have ridden it again once with a friend just for fun a few years ago. We were both in our early thirties... 😂
It's funny how most irreligious countries have the best Christmas decorations lol
Christmas markets are just fine despite good old Rona and Grünkühl (Kale) is delicious in winter ;)
If those "ornaments" are the traditional handmade "Stars of Bethlehem" (from the Ore Mountains), they would be 50 to 90 Euro. That price tag is for something else. 😁
You make me hungry.
All the food what see is so delicious.
Yummy, yummy.
Not open yet sadly
Don't worry, Christmas markets are still going strong in Germany!
Lüüüüüübeck :) Is worth a journey, not just for its X-Mas market.
It's germany, so it is about drinking not shopping
Check out this CZcamsr. A Vietnamese student, Uyen Ninh, lives in Germany with her German boyfriend. Uyen Ninh. It's very informative and funny.
