Cool, that might not be too bad then. Ya, I was wondering if the people you were stuck with usually suck and it's less of a hassle to just take the train or bus.Originally Posted by Fritz
Ja, ich hab's schon ein paar mal gemacht. Viele Studenten schwören darauf.
The concept is great and green and it always worked in that you get from A to B for a really fair price. I always had okay to decent people on board. Nothing really bad or weird but no one really cool either. Most of the time we had some polite small talk and then everybody went on reading a book or you know concentrate on the driving part. When I think about it, I have never heard anybody telling any horror stories about it but lots of people tell me they actually have had some cool entertaining company on their trips.
It's definitely worth checking out.
I had another idea about ways to learn German and listen to some native speaker. There is this webpage vorleser.net/, where you can legally listen to and download German audio books. They have a pretty good assortment there. Might be worth checking out!

Thats a pretty good way to improve your listening skills and vocabulary! My girlfriend uses this kind of strategy to improve her german as well.

Anyway, I have a question. In this game I'm working on, I see "sorry" (yes, the English word, sorry) being used a lot instead of "tut mir leid". Is this a recent occurrence? Do Germans actually say it? Is it a young people thing?
Also, can anyone recommend some good German Musik? Beyond Kraftwerk, etc. Something that Ausländer might not know. Vielen dank!

If I am around friends and family I rather use "sorry" followed by "Tschuldigung" instead of "tut mir Leid" because I am always in a hurry.Originally Posted by Atlagev

I actually find it amusing - I don't speak a word of German, but I have a fairly enjoyable life in Berlin knowing only English. No issues while shopping, at pubs - some people even ask me for directions in German, I ask them if they speak English (90% do) and I provide them with correct directions!
Fun city, fun country!

Many Englisch words have infiltrated the German language, short words like "sorry" or "f*ck" are pretty common these days. For some "f*ck" has already replaced the german "scheiße" (shit) as a swear word, especially on tv shows like "Schlag den Raab" it's yelled pretty often and no it's not bleeped.Originally Posted by Atlagev

Funny enough I usually say "Ficken", which is the literal translation of "to fuck", which kinda doesn't make sense at all but kids back at my school used to say it and it stuck.Originally Posted by fuenf

What does German-GAF think of dubbing foreign films and TV shows?
:lol I say "fick" or "scheisse" but that was from us in highschool trying to figure out how to curse in German and it stuck for me. :P It seems like no one says that though and "scheisse" seems to be more of a catch-all for German.Originally Posted by Fritz

Dubs that have been dubs by companies? I hear comedy stuff is dubbed really badly for the most part and the jokes don't always translate well. I guess it's not bad if you don't mind the voice being different. Things like southpark are awkward since the jokes aren't always the same and cartman has a distinct voice that he obviously doesn't in German and it irritates the hell out of me. Other stuff I'm completely fine with but voices that have been cemented in my mind of how they should sound always bother me as an american.Originally Posted by Kjellson

I think there is really no right or wrong. Dubbing over here is serious business, lots of authors and actors and technicians have specialized in Dubbing so it is usually on a pretty good level. For people who don't speak English - or any other foreign language for that matter - it is a major improvement in viewing leisure. For lots of formats and genres you don't really need the original track, basically everything outside of comedy. I personally like to watch my stuff with the original voice track. Except for the few cases where the Dub is even better than the original. Die Zwei as the prime example comes to mind.Originally Posted by Kjellson
