The lesson of this 16mm film is simple - If you fly to Frankfurt, and a creepy guy walks up to you asking if you speak German, and if you tell him that no, you are actually learning German, and he hands you a rose and asks you to wait while he corrals other people who are also learning German - this is important - Do NOT take the rose! Just RUN! Okay... enough learning for today. Enjoy!

The difference between Heaven, and Hell: in Heaven, the English meet you at the door, the French do the cooking, the Germans organize everything, and the Italians provide the entertainment. In Hell, the French meet you at the door, the English do the cooking, the Italians organize everything, and the Germans provide the entertainment!
When we visited our German-born friends a few years ago and they drove us around the countryside for several days, our friend Reinhold told me that they liked us because we were unafraid to express ourselves and speak our minds, and they felt they could do the same with us; but German culture, especially German corporate culture, was not so open to expression, and he, Reinhold, a generally soft-spoken and thoughtful man, had been sent to an anger-management class for expressing a strong opinion in a corporate meeting. A few hours later, while driving, he was talking about the political rivalry between Germany and Austria, or Bavaria, and the mutual dislike between them. "They don't like us", he said, " and we don't like them —- they are motherf—-rs". I told him it sounded like he was due for another round of anger-management class, and he laughed so hard I feared he would drive us right off the road!
A popular meme attempting to explain "Why Germans don't play Scrabble" is accompanied by a photo of a sign hanging over a shop: "FUSSBODENSCHLEIFMASCHINENVERLEIGH". They rent floor-sanding machines.
In "The Fifth Element", an alien lumbers up behind an archeologist inside a pyramid. The archeologist turns around, sees the alien, and asks "uh, uh, are you 'Cherman' ?"
I remember watching these films in German class. I've been searching the Internet Archive for these to no avail. Thanks for posting this, Fran.
Weird and confusing to watch. BTW Fran, at around 8.00 min the background music did remind me a bit to your end titles music; at first a bit slower, then a little bit faster. Beware of the YT copyright police!!!
use me as the dislike against censoring our free speech
happy new year Fran
from Paula.. also 55 and same marginalized sufferer.. suffering?.. yeah.. people who remember the 30's and want to repeat them better watch out.. them next
Just listen carefully and you will find, German is easy to learn? So? Laughing my (german) ass off 🙂
I was born in 1964 btw… 😉
Thanks for this one. It brings back fond memories. Back in the 60's I watched the entire "Guten Tag" series, and loved it.
I watched the film without reading the description then I read the description and I was glad to find I came to the same conclusion Fran did!
Only learning German, and already no accent! In those days, my conclusion was that German accent was not that bad. The grammar was. On the other hand, I still have not mastered English accent, sigh…
Maybe its an opening scene from a cold war spy thriller. "Sprechen Sie Deutsche? Nein? Weist do wo der mikrofilm ist? Ja… der mikrofilm ist im spind in der sauna… "… gripping stuff.
Ich lerne deutsch,
du lernst deutsch,
er, sie, es lernt deutsch
wir lernen deutsch,
ihr lernt deutsch,
sie lernen deutsch.
ist doch gar nicht so schwer :-))
I wasn't aware that it had been legal in Dshörmoney to produce such insane movies … luckily I survived the 60s somehow …
I live in Germany and I can totally confirm that all of this might happen to you anytime here.
BTW: We Germans always tell the truth and have no humor!
Mr. Ricardo learned fast: He speaks a perfect German without any slightest accent 😀
Joke of the day: "… and you will find German isn't difficult." … said the British commentator, after an introduction by a stewardess with a German accent when speaking English and another weird accent when speaking German (so not German) – haha. How come this is in your archive Fran?

Sorry das ist das Schlechteste Deutsch was ich Jemals gesehen habe ;=) lach ;=) ^^, ich komme aus Deutschland Nordreihn Westfahlen DORTMUND ;=) .

I took to years of German, and in those two years I learned how to say "Ich komme mit dem moped zur schule", so i guess you could say I'm fluent ^-^
