My frineds would tell me "Don't say something complex" or something like that.. I would always explaining or talking about something they're not interested in, and I always felt that.. Somehow Germans would welcome it or they were able to go with the vibe I really appreciate it maybe I need to go somewhere around those area I feel more isolated with Koreans usually..

Finally, I paid for the sweets and on my way out, in a spot on English accent he said: "Great choice, you will find that these don't taste too sweet. I am certain you are going to enjoy them.

@@multilingual972On the Danish side, in rural areas at least, I believe many still speak Synnejysk, the South Jutlandic dialect. They are possibly not quite as strong in German as used to be the case - in my youth we only had one Danish TV channel, but the three German channels could be received in most of the region. Of course there are differences - the minorities on both sides speak the other language. There are Danish schools and a highschool south of the border and German schools north of it. Many people will have some reason to be fluent in both languages - I have family in Flensborg, so I spoke German quite often in my childhood. I guess south of the border, some people will at least understand Danish, even if they don't speak it. Beyond that, there are also Frisian dialects on the west coast, and Low German (Platt). For some reason, the Danish minority in SH seems to speak mostly standard Danish rather than the original local dialect. And of course English is taught in schools as the "first" foreign language from quite early on, on both sides. As a result overall, a well-educated person from the region can easily be tri- or quadrilingual or more, depending on whether dialects are included. (a choice of French or Spanish is typically offered in highschool.)

There are still enough people you can't engage with in a more meaningful conversation. They just talk about their opinions and you can either agree, argue or say nothing. Those conversations are basically small talk. You don't talk about something meaningful, just rant together about something or listen/endure them talking about something you don't agree with. This happens more often than I'd like and can be even more taxing than small talk cause it's mostly someone complaining about something political or similar.

For anybody wondering the egg joke In german it's: "Mein Englisch ist nicht das Gelbe vom Ei" He means: If something isn't "the yellow from the egg", then that means that it's not (yet) as good as it could possibly be - that it's still not perfect perfect.

Spending my whole high school life with an international community, here’s what I understand: Saying “No” when someone ask you do you know their language basically boils down to “Yes, I do know your language, but because I don’t want to have a conversation with you, I will just say no and take the split second opportunity while you were confused, and take my leave.”

There are all human ladies in chorus on that stage."

I personally love talking to strangers. Sometimes the best encountes are made. But of course the right opportunity has to arrise. E.g. the train is late (or too full) and someone complains or sighs, I sigh, then first small talk about the journey, then maybe more. Or I help someone to find a specifc ingredient in the supermarket (after he or she asks me) and then I ask, what do you need it for? Etc. I love these small encounters! Greetings from Frankonia (They say that everyone is a little bit grumpy and not very talkative here in this German region. And that may be the case. But I still have nice little encounters every now and then).

The woman's response: "Oh, OK." and she went over to the other guy while everyone in the queue behind her tried to hold in a laugh.

Every morning at the breakfast table, my German grandfather used to copy the weather forecast from the newspaper into his journal. Every evening at dinner he would compare the actual temperatures and air pressure to the forecast and wrote them down as well. He grew up on a farm and was genuinely the best at predicting weather changes and stormfronts etc. And he was just the best in general. It's been 21 years since he died and I miss still him. ❤
