Typical American _ Easy German 45

Hello fans of Easy German we're back in Berlin today and we're here with Shane Shane is American lives in Berlin and today he's asking what do you ask the Berliners today I'm not entirely sure but I think I'm somehow asking about Prejudices of Americans in Berlin and a bit about America Facing Americans thank you Also what were people thinking about America Exactly things like that And especially Americans because that's very important to me What do you think she'll reply I have my ideas but I'll share them only at the end Let's see what people say Got it let's go Alright it's about a question What's your image of an American What does a typical American look like Dick Fett Yes That's him No those are white It's about a question What is a typical American A typical American is sexy and hot And I am No that's You're American then Yes I'm American Great me too Very friendly immediately very open and ultimately completely superficial Okay where does that come from From experience I've met many American women and I really like them I went to school in America in Detroit And that's why I don't have any hesitation about touching things I'm half American Oh really Yes I'd be American Well with nuclear weapons and all it might sound a bit harsh but I'm glad my family's here—it means a lot to me And I find the language beautiful I prefer it to English as spoken in England because that's such a strange dialect e bottom one I guess Also American English feels nice to me because that's where my family is and all Like a typical There's no such thing as a typical person Right Alright You can't say a typical person A typical American No I don't believe that 250 million 300 million people What's typical No idea A question okay And the question is how do you introduce an American So when you introduce an American what do you highlight Dumb and without history Yes it's obviously a huge country but what can I say about someone I don't actually know Also I think it's great that so many Americans are in Berlin I believe Americans should perhaps engage a bit more Learning and knowing about Germany and so on So I welcome that It's good It's always great for Berlin internationally You're welcome to come Anyway take a look at Americanization in Germany Online food ordering Then they might try to imitate the American accent He is an American What do you actually think about Americans I think Americans are shallow annoying and dumb Arrogant and utterly foolish—she thinks she can solve every problem in the world With this damn optimism But they just can't No it's simply impossible It's better to be pessimistic always somehow saying no always somehow Be on time and everything will better Are Americans always punctual No I found that to be due to the Germans Multicultural very open But don't leave your country too often Have a nice day We Germans handle everything our way—through diplomacy not like Americans Smiling of course Bam nuclear bomb on the table That too And the prejudices of the Germans which I think always come from not differentiating but always from eep this stereotype of the USA in mind And I think it's also time don't you that this old German The left's 68er mindset softened a bit of the old German left — we're done here now and we Texting an SMS apparently I'm posting something on Facebook How did your interviews go Everything as expected As expected There were a few people who said some unkind things A few more pleasant responses Surprises A complete rejection A completely harsh response from one He meant were stupid I didn't catch it exactly but it was very dismissive Whatever But you're a cool American I hope So my life goal is to be a cool person So I guess Wishing you even more luck If I'm being completely honest All set That was a great episode of Easy German wasn't it That was fun Awesome Now you need to say goodbye to our viewers Bye See you later
