My recently deceased grandmother was from Brandenburg and while she spoke English as a primary language, she spoke almost exclusive German to her parents, around the house. Now that she’s gone, I see that so many mannerisms she had, which I thought were exclusive to her, were in fact commonly “German “.

I'd also include hand signals for numbers. In the US, one is the index finger, not the thumb like in Germany, and all the numbers are different until you get to five. Very important for ordering multiple beers!

We need stickers from Cari and Janusz making these gestures 😄

When I was doing my exchange in Germany , I genuinely had no idea why people knock on the desk... it was very awkward and funny for me haha😂

Haha! I was living in Germany one day when I walked up to a small group at a traffic light. I looked left: no cars as far as the eye can see. I looked right: no cars as far as the eye can see. So, I started crossing. Behind me I could hear gasping and murmurs. I thought it odd, so mentioned it to a friend and he exlplained it to me.
Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention counting on your fingers as Germans (and most Europeans) do it differently than Americans. Something subtle but made into a life or death issue in "Inglorious Basterds."

I liked the "eff off" sign that Janus waves back at the car.

was ich von diesem Video gelernt habe: Cari besitzt ein tolles Auto

Ich habe vor funfzehn Jahren an einer Fachhochschule in Deutschland studiert. Und ich errinere mich immer noch das erste Mal, dass jeder auf den Tischen geklopft hat. Ich dachte, dass es so komisch war 😂

I remember tennis ace Boris Becker missing an easy shot and giving himself the "Bist du bescheuert" sign.

I never knew the "I'm joking" gesture of pulling at the eyelid. That's not common in the US. But I do teach my students about pointing at one's forehead. Here in the US it can be positive, meaning, "That's very smart!" Not so much in Deutschland...

This is vey helpful! Except for "Psst" I'd replace that with "Shh" in English. "Psst" is more for if you're trying to whisper something to someone. "Shh" is for you you're trying to silence them.

In Germany, "knocking on wood" also means hoping that everything will work out well. In England, a friend from Birmingham told me, they say "touching wood" instead.

Für mich als Italiener ist dies der einfachste Deutschkurs, den ich je besucht habe 😂. Ich erinnere mich noch daran, wie viel ich mit meinen deutschen Kollegen gelacht habe, als ich ihnen italienische Gestiken beibrachte.

Eine Geste, dass man langsamer fahren sollte, im Straßenverkehr. Wenn der Arm nach unten zeigt, mit flacher Hand, die sich hoch & runter bewegt. Ich finde die Geste äußerst wichtig.
Gleichzeitig wird sie auch verwendet gegenüber einer anderen Person, wenn die auch langsamer machen soll. LG 🙋🏻♀️

es hat mega Spaß gemacht! „bist du bescheuert?“ und „das war ein Scherz“ haben mir aber besonders gefallen. ich kann es kaum erwarten, im Alltag zu benutzen 😂

Hallo ihr beide,
super spannendes Thema habt ihr euch ausgesucht. Ich kenne tatsächlich noch eine Geste, die man bei Verärgerung nutzt. Man sagt z.B. :" Ich habe sooo einen dicken Hals vom Ganzen" und zeigt am eigenen Hals, wie dick der quasi ist. Zumindest hier in Bayern hatte ich es schon erlebt. Dabei überbetont man das Wort "so". Ist auch ein cooler Ausdruck, finde ich. Cheers!

Ich kam gerade sehr müde von der Arbeit zurück, aber nachdem ich das Video gesehen hatte, war die Hälfte meiner Müdigkeit verschwunden..! Ihr drei Cari, Herr Janusz und Manuel, seid eine Fundgrube an Wissen und Freundlichkeit! Ich betrachte euch als meine Freunde und bin froh, euch kennen gelernt zu haben!!! ❤❤❤

I liked the "knocking the table" gesture as a hello. Seems time saving
