I lived in Germany for 28 years and I loved every minute of my life there. I lived in two small villages and one fairly large town. I loved the German's organizational skills. I liked their directness. If I asked a neighbor a question they gave me a very direct and correct answer. I had three beautiful German Warm blood horses and my neighbor told me to make sure that I paid the local vet on the spot because if he had to send me a bill it would cost more. I truly miss Germany and the wonderful German people.

The most misleading and false stereotype is that germans don't have humor. That's a stereotype that others (Britons) have about us and it seems that some people have taken it on board. We do have a great sense of humor. It's just more subtle and dry and interwoven in our language...Play upon words, double meanings.... Often hard to translate and to understand for foreigners.

I'm a Luxembourger squeezed between huge neighbours (France, Germany and Belgium), I like all of those peoples, but I prefer the Germans by far. Most of all those near our border, the Palatines, the Eifeler, the Moseler and the Saarländer are a bunch of jolly people. They're down-home, committed to high quality work but also fun-loving and bon vivant. They're very self-critical and I think that is what makes them thrive and prosper. And they're solidary. I met a lot of firm owners (famous Mittelstand), and they were all very conscious about the influence of the well-being of their workers on their performance.

Here is what I think as a foreigner. 1. Routines: Fixed routines planned in advance. Like predictability and dependability. Uncomfortable with the unknown and foreign. 2. Direct: Direct in what they think but not always with what they feel. Will not reveal inner emotions to people they are not close to. Will hide their weaknesses in public. This makes them appear strict. 3. Strict separation of private and public life. Colleagues might have worked for 30 years with each other but know almost nothing about each other except work. 4. Opinionated: Especially older people will generally stick to what they already know even though it might be very little. Like to see things orderly. So everything is either right or wrong and there is little nuance in a discussion. 5. Envy: Always compare themselves with the neighbours and friends. Who has the better car, house etc. 6. German humour is directed at others and not at themselves. 7. Complaining: This is a way to police each other. 8. Conformity: Most conform to a particular pattern of life and stick to it. May not like to give up control.

I'm German and I have lived in North and South Germany. The way I got to know Germans: North Germans seem more distant and even kinda shy in the beginning or when you only know them from the distance. After breaking the ice North German people will become your closest and dearest friends... maybe for lifetime. South Germans seem to be more open to strangers.. at least in the beginning but it's all in a very superficial way. Not that "honest" like the North is. There is more sugar-coating behaviour. It's very very difficult to start "really" deep friendships with South Germans. To them it's more like "my closest friends are the people that I grew up with in my town and that are from the same place." They are nice to foreigners in small talks (around the Lake Constance they even call North Germans "foreigners" sometimes) but you probably won't become their "friend".

All they had to say was "We are emotionless robots that cannot compute Americans happiness" got it, no biggie. No worries, makes sense now. Cool. You make no mistakes and are always right. Umm, you tried that once before...did not work out so well. Boo for me bringing that up, but a bigger "Boo" for you acting that way now. Again. Since that did not work, perhaps consider Americans that are happy to be there not being fake, but honestly happy to be there. Maybe smile and tell them some beautiful things to see in your country. Maybe have a laugh and ask a bit about them and why they _chose_ to visit your country out of the entire world. No American trips on the sidewalk and lands in Germany. We are not fake, but sincerely happy to be there. Consider that.

And whats worse is that we come in the morning only to find out we came in vain and we wait for 70 minutes for another classes. Last year she came MAYBE for 2 months all together.

You guys probably just think you are unpunctual. If you come 10 minutes late to a meeting you'll get death stares. If the bus or train is delayed by 10 minutes German people consider that late and begin to grumble. Whereas that sense of time would be way different for other cultures. I once took a train in Vietnam which arrived 1 hour before departure and thought "damn they pretty on time here" when I realised that train was actually the one from the previous day and just 1 day delayed.

I am a German Scottish and Scandinavian American. I was based in England and Germany in the armed forces. And I enjoy and like the heritage of the old world. I think a lot of them keep to their heritage way more than we Americans do. Unfortunately in America today all these races are Thinking the more of our race the more we can take over American culture. They do it knowingly and unknowingly. That's why in Germany there is a lot of internal strife with radical foreign intervention. And throughout all of Europe

It is funny to watch this in contract to their view of Americans. Good luck with your perfect, timely, and precise choice of Angela Merkel. One thing Americans do well is self criticize and reflect. Our system isn't perfect and breeds a lot of self ridiculousness but we back it up with results... Our ship will right itself without the need for intervention of other countries. Your ship, the Euro, might be in need of some heavy repairs about now, and I like Germany... Good luck, please save your country.

anastácia. Indeed German, but I'm actually unemployed (cuz I'm 18) so I wouldn't necessarily say I work hard. As for the comparisons between nations I think it's a bit superficial to base diligence only on actual hours worked. There are other factors that contribute to that construct, like productivity for example (how much shit do you get done in your hours worked).

fruchtbeavis most of the Germans can speak English very well. Especially younger people have a good English because this language got very important since the 90s. For a few years german children learn english since the first grade so they have to learn it for at least 10 years. (Most children learn it for 12/13 years) English is also very important in the internet because we watch lots of english series and films or watch english you tube videos. Generally you can get many problems if you aren't able to speak English.
