What is ‚typically German‘ – Suggestions and Materials with a Wink

Travelling to a new country, settling in, immersing yourself in a new culture – this means getting to know the local people, their language, and all sorts of typical things. It also means learning to see the formative aspects of your own origins in a new light.

The saying in German goes: Andere Länder, andere Sitten – other countries, other customs!

Germany also has its customs and peculiarities. Some of them we are proud of, some we can accept with a smile, and some – well, even we make fun of them! You will certainly encounter some of them during your stay in Germany. On this page we have put together some interesting and humorous material that may give you a taste of things to come.

We hope you enjoy discovering and immersing yourself in the German culture and language!
