Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:01]Yo, what's up guys? Teacher here and today we reacting to this coffee request from Susan.

[00:00:09]Germany German.

[00:00:18]Hi everyone, recently we traveled with our Easy German team to various cities in Germany and made a video about regional dialects in Germany. We asked people on the street if they spoke a regional dialect and if they could describe their breakfast in that dialect. We'll start in Baden-Württemberg. Dort only will diak, right? I feel like I feel like that could be a thing. Am I right or wrong? The main languages ​​spoken are Alemannic and Swabian.

[00:01:06]I had a bread roll with butter and jam for breakfast this morning.

[00:01:09]Jam?

[00:01:10]I had muesli for breakfast this morning, with what? Oat flakes, nuts, uh, fersig, um, yes, various sunflower seeds, various seeds.

[00:01:24]Like this. Exactly. Yes. Where do you come from? I come from Badwaldsee in Upper Swabia.

[00:01:32]Schwerbisch and alarm clock with press key.

[00:01:36]What does that mean?

[00:01:38]A bread roll with strawberry jam. Ah, okay. You're very good at it. Would you like to audition?

[00:01:46]Um, I'm supposed to recite a recipe for Maultaschen (a type of German pancake).

[00:01:49]So, or if I first put 5 euros worth of sparrow zamrier in a bowl, then well... Depending on the customer, sparkling water or milk, and then so-so bad, I'd say.

[00:02:04]Wow, that's really difficult to understand.

[00:02:06]In Germany there are approximately 20 different dialect groups, and in a survey by the Institute for German Language, approximately 50% of all Germans stated that they speak a regional dialect in addition to Standard German. And these regional dialects vary considerably. In rural areas, people are more likely to speak dialects than in cities, and in southern Germany, more dialects are spoken than in the north.

[00:02:39]The Bavarian dialect is particularly pronounced in the south.

[00:02:44]Where do you come from? Langrein at Kimsi's.

[00:02:47]What did you have for breakfast this morning?

[00:02:51]So dialect in words accent.

[00:02:59]I feel like different words to how different is understanding dial what did you have this morning for breakfast?

[00:03:11]So I ate porridge with figs and bananas, and I hope it's okay.

[00:03:15]Where do you come from? I ate breakfast this morning from Meinburg, Lower Bavaria.

[00:03:23]So, I ate pork stew with semigneddel and sauerkraut, which was totally unappetizing, but I enjoyed it.

[00:03:32]What did you have for breakfast this morning?

[00:03:34]So I ate Wbrel in the early morning today, and you? And I used to eat muesli.

[00:03:42]I didn't do anything in the past because I have to go to the Wolf East.

[00:03:45]Yes, I'm fishing for compliments in northern Germany.

[00:03:53]Fishing forum, because my girlfriend always says my girlfriend is so fat. It's embarrassing how fat I am. There are fewer dialects in northern Germany than in southern Germany. However, there are also several distinct languages ​​in the north. For example, the Frisian languages and Low German.

[00:04:23]On our tour we also met a man from Farel in Lower Saxony who speaks a little Low German. What did you have for breakfast this morning?

[00:04:33]Yes, what did you have for breakfast? Two coffee rolls, Heik er Case Dropmarkt and Ben jam tastes nice and then another glass of the tablets with also.

[00:04:51]That sounds so much like Dutch sounds so much like Dutch is low German similar to Dutch because Dutch is low landsünner and Next we look at how people in Leipzig describe their breakfast.

[00:05:11]In Leipzig, people speak the Saxon dialect. This morning I ate a roll at school and it was with cream cheese and yes, it tasted good, it was delicious.

[00:05:25]I ate one or two trees. Are those slices or are they loaves of bread or something else?

[00:05:30]Those are slices of bread, a tree in six. Sometimes, when we don't know what to eat tonight, what to cook, and nobody has an idea, we say, "Oh, we'll eat Bäme with bread." I ate a bread roll with jam and sipped our Blemchen coffee, which is something Saxon. Do you know Blemchenkaffee? So, coffee, coffee beans, and if it's particularly weak, and I think the Saxons drink a lot of weak coffee. Well, I myself drink strong coffee, but in restaurants they usually serve weak coffee, and weak coffee is called " Blemchenkaffee" (little flower coffee), because in the past, porcelain cups often had flower patterns, and if the coffee was so weak that you could see the flower through the coffee, then it was called "Blumchenkaffee".

[00:06:28]Flower coffee.

[00:06:30]Finally, let's take a look at two dialects from West Germany. namely the Reinisch dialect undrierer Platt speak German, do you seect difference.

[00:06:51]I mean obviously you do like like when I speak English, I can tell when someone is speaking when someone is from Liverpool, you know, when someone is from Manchester, I can tell the difference. But in German, obviously really hard. Hm. For breakfast I had bread rolls.

[00:07:15]A singing voice, hear her.

[00:07:27]For breakfast I had bread rolls with croissants and jam. That means in German now with quark and jam.

[00:07:36]Helmut, could you describe in Trier dialect what you had for breakfast this morning? Clear. This morning I had a boiled egg, then I had a sausage spread, then I had a gravel spread, we also made some nice jam spread and then peppermint tea with a little honey in it.

[00:07:53]Well-stirred peppermint, harvested at home, everything was great for breakfast, then I drove 50 km to Saarburg. My breakfast here certainly influences so many dialects in Germany. Oh no, what should I do? Should I learn a dialect now? If you come to Germany, you should definitely learn Standard German. German is understood almost everywhere, is spoken in most cities in Germany, and is always the basis if you actually want to learn a dialect, and if you want to learn Standard German, British English, or High German, then you can use our app Seedlank, for example. Seedlank offers a wide variety of tasks, including tasks where you have to record your own spoken German and listen to it again later.

[00:09:00]This will help you improve your German pronunciation of the verb step by step. Here you can go directly to Sydland and below you will find further links to the German dialects. Goodbye and see you Sunday.

[00:09:17]Guess every language has a different dialect. Depends like even if the country is not too big, you will still have different accents and dialects.

[00:09:29]I would say and Germany is big. So obviously south would differ from the north like any other country but it's interesting to see. It's interesting because it's something that I never actually looked at. So thank you so much Susan for sharing this with me and showing me the different dials that you guys have is quite a lot if you ask me.

[00:09:53]And German is already difficult. Now learning different dialects in different accents makes it even more difficult.

[00:10:02]But thank you so much.

[00:10:06]How do I say this now? Thank you, thank you already dialecton.

[00:10:17]Thank you so much for watching the next video. I hope you enjoyed it.

[00:10:22]video just like Susan did.
