When you go to a restaurant in a foreign city, are you sure you are tipping the right amount? The size of the appropriate tip can be a really tricky question, especially since not all locals will agree on it. For example, in Germany there are some people that say that you shouldn’t tip at all if a restaurant bill already lists a service charge, or a line to the effect that service is included in the meal prices. Others however will say that tipping is still expected and not tipping is rude. So, which is it? And if you tip, how much is appropriate? Today Sarah will have a look at this subject and relate another personal experience. As usual, this GermanPod101 audioblog is completely in German, except for the vocabulary given at the end.


Germany has a wealth of fairy tales and legends that used to be passed on from generation to generation throughout its long history. The Brothers Grimm collected many of these stories and published them, and Walt Disney turned some into movies, but how many do you really know? I bet there are some among the most popular German fairy tales that you never heard of simply because you don’t live here. If your goal is to eventually be mistaken for a native speaker, or even just to work with German kids, you should start your education on those now! But even if your goals are completely different, GermanPod101’s audioblogs provide valuable vocabulary and structures for advanced learners.
