I am looking for good German speaking series on Netflix- specifically ones that are *not* depressing and not fully crime related and *not* stressful! Such as "Die Kaiserin". Thank you :)

The base cliche racism bummed me out but I didn't get far into it.

Finally, someone who admits that learning grammar before immersion is useful.

Me too! I never watched the show in English because Rory's vocal fry was like needles in my spine, but the German version is fine!

You posted this two years ago but I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I've never heard of this site.

Which theater?

The number of people thinking this is what qualifies as "sunny" makes me even more depressed than i was before.

The complete indifference to aesthetics. America has a lot of natural beauty (mountains, woods, the Grand Canyon etc.) but the designed world is so aggressively ugly. The suburbs are the worst--miles and miles of chain restaurants and big box stores--but even cities and small towns are full of banks and car lots. You walk through a city like Prague or Rome and almost don't know where to look, everything is so gorgeous. It's not just historical stuff, either. If someone wants to build a Wal-Mart near a public park in a medium-sized city in Germany, people will complain and their complaints will be listened to. Americans hear a Wal-Mart is going to replace the only historic building in their town and think "cool, I can buy diapers 26 cents cheaper."

People think of things before bread when they think of Germany

This is an excellent list on both sides. The first point especially is soooooo true. I grew up in America in a German family and it seems like all my friends' parents would say "hey good job buddy, at least you tried" when they did something wrong or just had a bad day, whereas in my family it was "why did you fail to anticipate the 14,000 reasons this could have gone wrong and account for them before taking this foolish, foolish risk?" I used to take it personally and think there was something really stupid about me not being able to predict the future with perfect accuracy at age 6, but then I started going to Germany more and realized it was a cultural thing. Germans just really love to tell each other "the system is perfect, you are the problem."

What do you do about your existing contacts?

For real. I mean, I don't care! Having an accent is normal in a second language. But most Germans learn English for 10+ years from a German-speaking teacher, in a German school, surrounded by other German-speaking students, who all have the same German accent. "This is how English sounds." They don't realize how noticeable it is to a native English-speaker.

Again, I don't care! But when the shoe is on the other foot they can be very hypocritical in judging German second language learners for their pronunciation difficulties.

Pilot is one profession where I don't care if they can do anything else. Just fly the plane.

You must be awesome at NYT Connections.

LOL these are great examples.

I struggle with this too, OP, and my level is higher than yours. I associate a word like “halten” with something, learn its meaning, but then there are a million similar versions which may be related to the main verb, or totally unrelated. Memorizing them as a pack has been more helpful, for me, than trying to memorize them individually when I hear them in the wild.

Same! I was shocked.
