German Listening Comprehension: Buying train tickets in Germany by Fabi Rommel
Is it just me or are Pumpkin and Kürbis two totally different concepts

How I love that German has a rather long word for ‘car insurance’ but merely three letters for ‘existential despair and the meaninglessness of life’.

Ich wusste gar nicht dass die Richter vom Bundesverfassungsgericht so coole Outfits haben
As a transitioner, you are more afraid of AfD than muslim migration? Seems to me a terribly short-sighted view...
Ummm, I'm genuinely confused by that. Why?? Why should I be more afraid of Muslim migration than of the AfD? Like??
OK either you have no idea who the AfD is and just want to be racist, or you do know and want to be racist or you are German and siding with the AfD here.
In the last case, I'm just gonna say: Was ist eigentlich dein beschissenes Problem?
Ok but generally, I'm just gonna assume you are referring to the idea/assumption that Muslim people "hate lgbtq+ people" and so on. Which is a huge piece of bullshit.
Here's the thing: Have you ever been to a German Pride? I have, and there were many Muslim people. All of my Muslim friends are fully supporting me, are queer themselves or are amazing allies. I have never met a homophobic Muslim. Never.
But I have met racist and homophobic and Islamophobic assholes. I have met people who told me I'd go to hell and they'd laugh about that. I have met people who have disrespected personal boundaries to humiliate me, to take away my dignity. All of these were white people, Germans, to be exact.
Because most of the countries that treat Lgbtq+ as a crime are majorly Muslim, you assume that the religion is the problem. That is not the case. It is the government that has a problem with queer people, and the people who support that government. And that includes Muslims and non-Muslims.
But the people who come here either run from these governments or try to find a better life here. They do not go here because they support this and now want to hate on people.
Sure, conservative Muslims believe homosexuality is a sin. But so does the catholic church. Yet you would never tell me "Why are you more afraid of the catholic church than of the AfD?"
You are telling me I should be more afraid of people who go or even flee here and simply want to live here, bringing a beautiful diversity to our country, than of people who want to kick those people out because "eww other cultures", "eww they must be terrorists", who want to take a way the freedom of speech, who are openly faschists, who support Russias invasion, who want to destroy German Democracy, who want to take away my human rights???
I'm sorry if I don't follow but to me this is obvious.
I think the Muslim faith is beautiful. Religious faith and devotion generally is very beautiful. Different cultures are beautiful. And homophobia and transphobia are learned/taught behaviors, that can be unlearned with enough patience and kindness.
Muslims do not strive to govern our country and tell us how to live our lives. I let them be, they let me be, all fine. ( I know there are extremists who fall out of that statement but they are a different case all along) The AfD wants to actively forbid medical treatment for people like me, wants to take our rights and make out lives unnecessarily harder.
Tell me now: of who should I be more afraid?
somebody come save me I'm trapped in a mini bus with 8 of my very extroverted family--- /j

why did I agree to go bowling with them help lmao
My german ass when I remember that english just doesn't have decent translations for some words I use on the daily
I love that when Germans are really enthusiastic about something they exclaim: “Ich schmeiß mich weg!” which roughly means “I’m throwing myself away!”

Do students in the US actually use pencils on exams? What about a dokumentenechter Stift? Pencils are not dokumentenecht? The entire Bundesrepublik Deutschland would explode if you used a non dokumentenechten Stift in an exam.
our good friend jonathan just had his first experience with the deutsche bahn, i sure hope that this is the only horror awaiting him
Hachja, Wahlen sind ja immer mit lustigen Plakaten verbunden. Habe heute wieder herzlich gelacht:
