Today Sarah talks about a problem many Germans face when going abroad: bread and rolls. German breads and rolls are totally unlike their American, British or even French equivalents, so that many Germans are showing withdrawal symptoms when on holiday unless they were forewarned and brought some good old German “grey bread” (wholegrain bread) or “black bread” (more extreme version of wholegrain bread) for that purpose. If they’re actually staying abroad longer, they scour entire cities looking for a single bakery that can produce bread of a similar consistency as German bread (hint: it hardly budges if you try to crunch it). For both the morning and the evening meal, bread is expected to be the most filling ingredient. Germany is definitely a bread-addicted culture, also shown in the number of bakeries within walking distance of any home. Let Sarah tell you more about the secrets of German bread and rolls!

And now you’re on it, speeding your way across Germany with a maniac (aka your best friend) behind the wheel. “This is fun!” your friend exclaims as he zooms by yet another car. “I love the Autobahn!” Your fists are clenched so tightly your nails are digging into your palms. “Shouldn’t you go a little slower?” you ask. “I want to get there quickly, but not dead!” Your friend once again presses the gas, and you wonder just how fast this car can go. Even a roller coaster isn’t this scary! “But in the USA I can’t drive really fast!” your friend says. “And will you look at that idiot,” he gripes. “Why is he going so slow, and not even driving straight? He’s a danger to the other drivers. I could kill him!”

Learn German with GermanPod101.com! You are sitting in your class at the university in Germany today, and your professor promises a special challenge. You must admit, you are a little nervous. In the past, ’special challenge’ has meant anything from pop-quizzes to his grandmother’s secret recipe…blech, now THAT was a challenge! As your professor approaches the podium, he starts up the projector and begins showing slides of what appears to be animals from Australia. You are thoroughly confused now. He explains in German, “Your test results on the last exam were so bad that I decided I would give you an easy bonus grade. For each of these animals that you can name in German, I will give you five points on your exam…and believe me, you ALL need it!” With that, the class erupts into applause…but not you.
