Learn German with GermanPod101.com! Vacationing in Germany with some friends, you all decide to try a new German sports bar. Because it is new, you do not know what type of crowd will hang out there, but you are ready to have some fun anyway. You and your friends have made up a type of code in case one of you needs to be bailed out from a bad conversation with a girl. The code is ‘oo7’s phone number.’ Simply put, if a girl asks for your phone number and you don’t want to give it to her, you give her a fake German number beginning with 007. Then your friends help get you away from the unwanted company. Sounds barbaric, but it works! At the sports bar, your friend ‘hooks-up’ right away, retreating to the other side of the bar. You awkwardly find a seat in a booth as two girls approach. Hmm..lucky night! As you begin talking though, you learn that the girls are friends of the ex-girlfriend of you missing buddy. They may act like they don’t care, but you smell trouble. And your friend can’t hear you to save you from the company, so you have to grin and bear the conversation. Finally, your friend approaches and you give him a look that cries, “Help!” Your friend tells you that he wants you to meet one of his buddies, but the girls don’t want you to go. Finally, they let you go but ask you for your phone number here in Germany so you can meet up again later. In German, you begin in Russian, “007.” One of the girls laughs, interrupting in German, “What are you, an agent like 007?” You give the girl a sly look and slip away with your friend. You can hear the girls giggle as you walk away. Saved by the German phone number again!

You are new to the company so your new German colleagues are asking you many questions and in turn, you are asking them several questions. They now learned where you are from and they think you speak German pretty well considering you have not been in Germany long. When you ask one of your colleagues where he is from, he replies in German, “I am a Berliner.” You look at him oddly and reply in German, “I don’t get it. You are a jelly donut?” The table gets quiet and then everyone begins to laugh loudly. You are still befuddled and think your colleague is playing a joke on you. When your colleague finally calms down, he replies in German, “You must either be REALLY hungry, or you still need some serious practice with your German!!” By the end of the night, your German colleagues have given you the well-earned nickname of the “German jelly donut.” What a name to live up to!
