Genau. Plattdeutsch = Low German auf Englisch. I have not watched many talk shows. I usually listen to radio (HR 1, 2, or 3). I do watch a funny show called Das Perfekte Dinner - Kampf der Regionen online because it showcases areas of Germany and their cuisine.
I like your joke. How understandable are the Germans that speak Pommersch?
The secret to painting a really big army is to keep at it. You can't reach your destination if you never take any steps.
Aufgewachsen im Großraum Frankfurt. Hessisch, Fränkisch, Bayrisch, Hochdeutsch, NRW'ler, ein Schuß Schwäbisch, ein Oberösterreichische Großmutter und nicht zu vergessen, die ganzen Ausländer, von denen du auch was übernimmst. 95% der Zeit spreche ich Hochdeutsch, aber wehe ich gebe es auf verständlich zu sein.
pommersch is an eastern dialect...most ancestors of berlin heritage have someone inn their bloodline that comes from this direction...
and my father was born in berlin but moved early in his childhood towards hesse....but he is a genius for dialects ... a talent I have inherited...so I am very good at understanding the more harder dialects... it is doable... for instance I can follow a conversation In juddish too quite good... and that is something not for the faint of heart as it has LOTS of special words... but I really like the melody of some of the more harder dialects... same with English ones to be honest... dunno if you native English speakers are that aware of how differently you tend to speak...
Never drunk so much as during my Wehrdienst. We were 5 men on a 6 men room, the 6th locker was used as "Schnapsschrank", always filled up with at least 3 crates beer and diverse higher spirits. Stubendurchgang before weekend, the LT. wanted us to open the 6th locker, we expected to get an extra round of "Spaß" insted of a weekend. He looks in the locker, stares at the whole amount of alcohol for 2mins, turns around and says "On monday the Pfand has disappeared, dismissed." It's a wonder nobody of the company died of alcohol poisoning.
I speak English with a dialect that no one can place. They only know that it is southern English but then I say "Howdy" and that causes their assumptions to crumble.
While Manchu speaks German like a Swabian, I speak German like Rhett Butler.

Strasbourg is nice, Frankfurt is just a hellhole, full of crime and corruption, except for Alt Sachsenhausen . Can't say something about Worms, was never there. But in the end, the only city worthy of visiting is Langen (Hessen).
Frankfurt isn't bad for a large international city though it is not as livable as many other large cities. Goethe always wanted to leave his birth city for livelier places. Odd that he ended up in little Weimar but it was a nice gig for him.
I like Old Sachsenhausen. It's better to buy groceries or eat at a restaurant there than to shop in Niederrad.
What's in Langen? Is it out beyond the Stadtwald?

Ja, zumindest der "echte" Wiener Dialekt, und nicht nur die Mischung aus Akzent und Lautverschiebung, die man normalerweise mit Wien assoziiert, hat einen sehr großen Anteil an Jiddisch. Und dass mein Landsmann gewöhnungsbedürfitg ist, glaub' ich ungesehen!

Warum? Absolut inkompetent für den momentanen Posten klingt nach bester österreichischer Tradition.

Other than Paul-Ehrlich-Institut and Flugsicherung nothing much, it's just my birthplace and Lokalpatriotismus has to be satisfied.

Hallo, Panzer, Ich Begruesse sie, und zwar geht es um das folgende....

To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight.
It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.

Talking oranje is Hochverrat and will be persecuted by public quartering.
Ach was, Oranje sprechen ist Hochverrat? Een bratwurst in je gezicht kun je krijgen!
Now that there are so many Germans here, there is thing I've always wanted to ask you. Why are you always digging holes in our beaches? Or in those of the Danes, for that matter What mysterious purpose do those holes serve? Is it some kind of conspiracy? Does it have to do you with your next plan for world domination?

They are trying to find the Bernsteinzimmer and more importantly they are moving the beach closer to Germany, one hole at a time (*).

We just want to make sure the ocean has a handhold to take back what rightly belongs to it.
