    Episode 22: Dealing with the crisis

    Today we discuss how the Germans are dealing with the current crisis. Germans are known to respect clear rules and guidelines, but are they really always obedient? How about the developing work culture? Will there be benefits and a softer, more mellow culture in corporate Germany? And we talk about May the 1st - Union Day.

    Episode 21: Gossipping in the German culture

    Today we cover the term “gossipping” in the German culture. With a more sinister or bad intent it could be called something else.

  8. Episode 15: TV Culture in Germany

    08/29/2018

    Episode 15: TV Culture in Germany

    Germans are comfortable with stereotypes and this is particularly seen on TV. Try watching German TV commercials! In general you will get a good "pre-view" of German culture when watching German TV. It's like a reflection of "real life". It may be so in other countries too, for sure, but in Germany it is significant.
