Understand Real German From The Streets Of 🇩🇪 Halle

We've just arrived at the exhibition hall and would like to know today what everyone else still plans to do. And the special thing is that Lisa from the Easy German team is joining in. Lisa, you come from Halle. I am from Halle. I grew up here and went to school here. And today I'd like to show you a few nice spots in the city. I'm looking forward to it. Janusz, are you ready? I'm also looking forward to it, and I'm ready—let's go. Now we are standing here directly in front of a model of the city of Halle. Show me, where are we right now? Yes, it's really a great model. You can clearly see where the buildings are here. We are next to the Red Tower, so approximately here, on the marketplace. And here you can also see the Market Church, which is behind us. And these are the five towers of Halle, the typical postcard motif, the characteristic silhouette that one always sees. And if you have plenty of time now, for example, and would like to go shopping, you could continue down this street, along the boulevard. There are many shops and many beautiful old houses that you can visit. What do you still have planned for today? Go eat döner. Good choice. And? We're going to quickly go shopping and then go for a smoke. Go for a smoke? Yes, exactly. Hey, toll. I'm setting up my studio today with a buddy. Wow, what a studio. We're doing a bit of art, and for the past two weeks we've had a room in the South City. And that will be sweet. Very nice. And what kind of art do you do? In the graffiti direction, a bit of street art, character design, and such things. I'm heading to Leipzig now and will ride a bicycle with a friend and enjoy the sun a little more. I'm still going to Leipzig to visit a friend, and we're going to watch a movie together. Wow, to Leipzig. How long does it take to get from here to Leipzig? Also, if the trains are on time, I usually take about half an hour. So it's manageable. What do I have today? I'm going to see my father now, and then I'll relax. What do you need from your father? I only visit him at his shop at Riebeckplatz, Teleshop Lara—just help out a little and then go home. That's sweet. We actually just wanted to go to DM now. We're coming from the cafeteria. And for me, I'm heading home today as well, since after that comes the vacation. Oh, how lovely. First of all, where is home? Wittenberg And where to on vacation? It's going to Prague. How lovely. I've never been to Prague, but I really want to go there someday. Let me see. I have a choir rehearsal this evening. Very nice. Which songs are you currently practicing? We are currently performing an oratorio, or more accurately, a cantata by Oliver Gies. This is a contemporary artist titled Truths. Very nice. I'm meeting up with a friend later, and then I'll call my mom and tell her what's been going on over the past few weeks. We want to wrap a gift today as well, because everyone is going to a children's birthday party. How old is your boyfriend or girlfriend? Nine. Are you going there this afternoon? No, on Friday afternoon. And will you tell us what gift you have? A makeup mirror and a pen. Very nice. A training session, and then I'll still look for an outfit for a themed party. Okay, first of all, what kind of training? I do pole dancing. Cool, really cool. And what kind of theme party? The theme is a birthday party, and the theme is the initials of the name. And my name is Charly, and I'm going to wear chili in it now, so I'm looking for a red skirt now, because that's still missing. Okay, I was just wondering, how do you dress up as a C? I'm going to a friend's place soon to get my hair cut, then wash my hair, and probably go to bed early. Very nice. Do your buddies always cut your hair, or do you also go to a barber? Or are you the barber? I only cut the sides, but I usually get the top done at the barber. Good, it always grows back so quickly. Yes, and he can't do it very well with the scissors either, but the sides work. What else do you have planned for today? Swim in the afternoon, then swim again in the evening. That means you're giving English lessons. You're heading straight to the class. And is it in a class or private? This is private. It's called a learning salon. Very nice. And why are you learning English? I had English at school, and to prevent myself from completely losing my skills and to have something to do in my free time, I'm doing English. That's great and also keeps you fit, even on the head. I hope so. And then you said, go swimming later? Yes, I am in the swimming club in Halle-Neustadt. Very active. Actually, just cooking for myself and a friend, and doing a bit of university work. Toll. What are you studying? Pharmacy. Is that a lot of work, or is it manageable? Yes, it's a lot of work, but I also really enjoy it. That's why it's the right thing for me. Do you get annoyed by people who look up everything in CGPT and then go on to spout nonsense? Not really. So if I don't understand something and want it explained simply, I just do it myself. But as long as one can still think for oneself and recognize mistakes, yes, everything's fine. I'm going straight to my new job now, so not to the job interview, but to my new job. I have a brief conversation to clarify a few formalities once again. Otherwise, I'm going to my in-laws' and then I'm going to the cinema this evening. Cool, okay. Congratulations on the new job! What are you doing? I work in a restaurant. Very cool. And what are you watching at the cinema tonight? This mummy film. Any horror film. Oh wow, do you like horror movies? No, but it's one of those group events in our friend group, so I'm going along with it. Okay, aren't you afraid? No, let's take a look. I think it's still okay if you're in a group. And it's been light for quite some time now, anyway. What do you have planned for today? I'm just going around my usual routine because I'm already a few days over 15. And then I must get my steps fully under control. And they're not done yet today? 4,500 steps are not enough. 4,500, how many more do you need? Also 6, 7, 8. So you're still running around like that now? I'll just take my usual round through Halle, crossing diagonally. Ah, that's lovely. And then just watch what happens? Yes, for example when I meet people who want to learn German and already can do so. Lisa, what do you have planned for today? I still have a lot to do today. For example, I'll finish the worksheet for this video. Lisa is actually also a German teacher on our team and prepares the materials for our videos. the ones you find on our Easy German membership platform. As an Easy German member, you get access to all these materials. But not only that, you also get a clear structure for learning. You set your level, and then you'll receive specific videos from us through our study guides. Interactive exercises and transcripts are suggested, which you can then use to specifically improve your German. All the information can be found below in the infobox and on easygerman.org. Okay, where are we now? This is the market square of Halle, and as you can see, weekly markets are regularly held here. There you can buy regional products, such as fruit, vegetables, meat, and delicious items. Do you sometimes shop here? Rarely, almost never. But it looks very delicious. That's true, maybe I'll get myself a few strawberries. Who's that behind us, Lisa? This is Georg Friedrich Handel, also known as the son of Halle. Georg Friedrich Handel was born in Halle, lived and worked here, and composed his works. He is, in fact, a very famous German composer. And this monument here is also a landmark of the city, and people typically gather here. We'll meet this evening at Händel before heading to the restaurant, for example. And what have you already accomplished today, what have you already done today? Ordinary housework, well breakfasted. Now bending through the city. And what have you already done today? Today I've seen everything there is to see in this city. I was last at the Moritzburg. Moritzburg, and did you like it? Yes, from the outside, inside is just a museum now. I looked at the outside, I hadn't known it yet. I sold asparagus and strawberries from the region. And how is business? It's still manageable due to the weather, could be better, but the weather is our main adversary. And is asparagus from Halle's region better? I already have to answer yes. This is already one of the best asparagus here in Saxony-Anhalt. Fantastic. I came from Leipzig to Halle very early today and had a project day at a school. We carried out a project there where students can talk to people. have experienced or are experiencing discrimination. We came by train to Halle and had breakfast together. So you're tourists too? Yes, we're visiting a friend, let's put it that way. Great, I was just at the hairdresser and am now heading over to visit my grandfather. Excellent hair color. Thank you, you did that yourself. We saw you from afar. I was with several doctors today, I was already in the hospital, and I was already eating. All the best, I hope everything is going well. That wasn't because of me; it was because of someone else. Also all good. I was at university and had already attended two or three lectures. Then I was just about to go to lunch. Men, I've never heard that before. That's what we call it here. What did you mean? A soy lasagna. I've already heard that today. Which lectures did you have today? Oh God, commercial law, international human rights protection. No, that was it already. And then I also worked with my chair. I had a job interview today for a new position. How did it go, how did it turn out? Pretty good, simpler than thought. I was really nervous before, but then it was kind of totally chill. But you don't know the result yet? I could start something along those lines, more or less, but I still don't know whether I want to. I have a job interview right now. And do you advise us what kind of job? Hm, pedagogy. I have freshly made my bed today. That is exhausting. Especially the bedsheet, right? Yes, but I managed it. After that, I was a bit worn out. And then I washed it right away too. Very good. And then you drove into town, right? I'm running late, sorry. He has given me feet to run. I run 99.9 percent of everything in the city. I am in Halle for the first time today. Is there anything I absolutely should check out? I'd say, take a walk on the Peißnitz Island and along the Saale. Peißnitz Island, what is that? This is a park by the Saale. The Saale is very beautiful right now. The Saale is the river. And there you can sit nicely. And there stand beautiful willow trees. Those are the trees with the long green ones that look so sad. And the Willow. Yes, exactly. The Handel House. What is a trading house? Georg Friedrich Handel was a composer. Yes, I know him, but the house? He lived there. Botanical Garden Zoo And otherwise, culture. If there's an organ concert here, you could go in. Nothing else comes to mind now. What is your favorite spot in Halle? Mountain Zoo Yes, the mountain zoo, it's beautiful. You can also bring dogs there. And are there many animals there? Yes. And the Peißnitz. When the weather is nice, it's definitely worth spending time outdoors. What one should definitely not miss is going out to eat here. And the Chocolate Museum by Halloran. Yes, here's a factory store. Exactly, you should definitely take a look at that. I must honestly tell you, I've already fallen a little in love with Halle. I didn't have high expectations, but it's really beautiful here. What on earth are you eating there? These are the famous Halloran balls. Okay, I'll try one. Delicious! Janusz, how did you like Halle today? I really liked Halle. The city is beautiful. The people are really nice. And people obviously live very relaxed and were happy to talk about it. And that made me happy. It's fantastic and simple. And Lisa, was anything surprising to you today? I was a bit surprised by how many people have mentioned the Peissnitz Island as a recommendation. I also knew she was popular. But so popular? Wow! Now we want to know from you which city should we visit next? Write us a comment. Until next time. Bye!
