Hello people!
We're taking you with us today
for a typical lunch break.
We were in the office.
We worked.
Now we're hungry.
Are you hungry, Janusz?
I'm hungry and I'm thirsty.
Let's go!
Janusz, what do we usually eat for lunch?
We usually eat a lot of different things for lunch.
But today we don't have much time,
so we have to find a restaurant quickly.
We're taking you with us now
to our standard favorite restaurant
and it's raining.
That's why we have to hurry.
We're sitting in the restaurant now
and we'd like to order something.
Janusz, have you found anything yet?
Yes, and I often take a mixture
of rice and beef and salad.
How about trying something new today?
That's a very nice idea,
but maybe not today.
How about vegetarian food, Janusz?
I love vegetarian food,
especially rice with vegetables.
But?
There is no but.
Delicious is delicious.
And how about today?
I think I'm in the mood for this golden beef today.
So fried beef with crispy salad
of mango strips, colorful peppers, carrots, cucumbers,
sprats, seasoned with lime, garlic, chili, fish sauce.
Delicious.
I'll call you in about an hour, okay?
Janusz is on the phone in Polish.
Janusz has a boyfriend
with whom he calls every day at lunchtime.
Yes, with pleasure.
My boyfriend also helps me with my diet.
Ah, okay.
He knows his way around and we often talk about it.
That beef is good for the diet.
Yes, yes, of course. Among other things.
Janusz, there is also a lunch menu,
business lunch.
That means these dishes are particularly cheap.
They cost 9.90 euros.
Wow, not bad.
Can we talk about what lunch costs in Berlin?
10 euros is cheap.
Cheap and 19 euros is already too expensive.
Somewhere in between.
But I like to pay 12, 13 euros.
In some countries it is very cheap, right?
Chris, in the USA it is more expensive to go to lunch.
Chris nags behind the camera.
But in America there is also much cheaper food or not?
Much what?
Much faster food.
Fast food.
That is hopefully cheaper then.
Oh, Chris says no.
I have decided.
I take what I always take.
What a decision.
And you?
Surprising.
You also take what you always take.
Yes, but then I don't think for a long time.
But the decision has already been made before I think about it.
For me too.
Often I think about what I want to eat on the way to the restaurant.
Because I already have the menu in my head.
I would like the spicy bowl and a large apple schorle.
My standard lunch order.
And I would like the 72 and a sparkling water and a Vietnamese coffee.
With milk.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
Thank you.
Janusz, what is that?
This is a Vietnamese coffee.
Tastes very tasty.
With condensed milk down here.
And is therefore very sweet and very tasty.
I order either sparkling water every lunch.
This is very popular in Germany.
Or apple schorle.
This is apple juice with sparkling water.
Very tasty.
Prostata.
Janusz only learned this prostata joke yesterday and tried it for the first time today.
Yes.
I have a beautiful German book, Die Neuen Deutschen Sitten.
And there all these small cultural phenomena in Germany are described.
Stupid sayings to toast or at all.
Always when you see yourself.
Grüßli Müsli, Tschüssi Kowski, Tschö mit Ö.
We'll show you that in another video.
This is what our lunch break looks like in reality.
We don't talk to each other, but look at our cell phones.
Janusz watches memes and I watch work news.
Manuel asks if he can record a podcast with you tomorrow.
Oh, with pleasure, of course.
Fourteen o'clock.
Yes, and then I'll go with Saurusch.
No, with Rawat, I think.
Video shoot.
Yes, fits.
Fits.
Ah, thank you.
Very tasty.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
My standard food is here.
Janusz, do you eat with chopsticks?
Very much.
Or with fork?
Mostly both, but it's a lot of fun to eat with chopsticks.
Can you do that at all?
Not really.
Okay.
Delicious, tofu.
May I try from you?
Yes.
Do you want to try from me too?
Yes.
It doesn't work.
You have to try the tofu.
I don't want tofu.
What are you doing with my food?
Oh, here.
Janusz is poking around in my food.
Learning German with short, simple stories, like in this video.
If you enjoy it, I have a great tip for you.
And that is the Seatlang app.
This app is available on your mobile phone.
And there are a lot of little stories in this app.
Every story has videos.
You can read the text.
You can even click on the words and translate them and also understand the grammar.
And there is a function in which you have to repeat the sentences.
This allows you to practice your pronunciation and also memorize the words better.
I think this is a great idea to always have German with you on the road, in your pocket.
And to learn everywhere, for example in the subway on the way to work.
Download the app.
The basic version is free.
And if you like it, you can unlock all content for a few euros a month.
Seatlang is available in the App Store and in the Google Play Store.
Janusz, your bowl is almost empty.
You swallowed your lunch.
It was very tasty, as always.
Swallowing is when you eat like this.
This is called swallowing.
Janusz, do you often eat fast or rather slowly, like this video?
I eat slowly when I eat with the chopsticks.
But if I take a spoon, then it starts.
We have now had a Vietnamese lunch or a lunch with the Vietnamese.
Is this a typical lunch for you?
What do you eat in Berlin?
That's the nice thing about Berlin.
You have a lot of Vietnamese restaurants and they are all super delicious.
But there is also food from other countries in Berlin.
There is a lot of Turkish food, a lot of Arabic food, a lot of Italian food, some Portuguese food.
Korean.
Korean, Korean, absolutely.
Georgian.
Georgian too, yes.
Which countries do we still know?
Do you sometimes eat German food?
But also Japanese, for example.
These meat sticks.
What about currywurst?
Maybe you thought all people in Berlin eat bratwurst every lunch.
No, bratwurst is celebrated from time to time, but with great joy.
From time to time.
Often in the beer garden or something.
So, now it's time for my coffee.
Janusz, would you like to eat dessert?
I don't think so.
The coffee is my dessert.
Tasty.
Aha.
The coffee has run through.
Now Janusz stirs the coffee.
He mixes the coffee and the milk.
The condensed milk.
They say schmackofatz.
Tasty?
Very tasty.
Tasty?
Tasty.
Janusz, I paid.
The company paid.
We spent 47 euros for three lunches.
Chris also got lunch.
And three drinks.
Is that expensive for Berlin?
I don't think it's very expensive for Berlin.
But yes, I couldn't afford something like that every day, of course.
Your food was the most expensive. 15.50 euros.
I'm also the fattest here in the round.
I gave three more euros for drinks.
I spent 50 euros.
So, now we go back to work.
It's raining and we run to the office through the rain.
Are you full, Janusz?
I'm full, I'm warm, I'm happy.
The weather is very nostalgic and romantic.
And I'm looking forward to the afternoon.
Bye.
