Hey there.

I always wondered about the English, what do you have for breakfast? Is it the stereotypical stuff you read about?

>>23155520
I'm poor as fuck right now so I mostly just have cereal, my family was kind of posh so we did have roast dinner every Sunday when I was a kid.

What about you?

How did this happen?

>>23155666
nothing to be honest. this is my last year at university so I am working on diploma thesis. after uni I will most likely become junior programmer so I won't be working that hard anyway. classic programmers day consists of browsing internet and googling stuff you need to get the job done. and in case someone is around you start scrolling code and act like you are actually doing something important.

>>23155700
>>23155666
I dnt have a favorite football team. Football in this country is a state mafia.
Also, the car of my dreams are a Wolksvagen california campered.
I work as a manager in a Nike Factory Store.

>>23155506
Well, the weather is pretty cold and rainy so i'm just stuck at home doing pretty much nothing but lifting weight and watch some tv-show.

How are you my waffle-maker friend ?


And question for everyone : i feel like a real dumbass when i'm speaking english, my french accent is so strong that it just feel wrong, but american people keeps telling me that it's fine, how do you feel about our accent ?
I just sound like a neandertal imo

>>23155511
Your parents are english ? or one of your parents is french ?
Do you speak french ?

>>23155756
>Wolksvagen california campered
that's chill

>>23155707
I'm at uni and don't want to ask my parents for money so I'm basically having to provide for myself with a pretty low paying job

Any recommendations on good places to visit in Germany? Some friends wanted to go on a road trip around Europe for the summer

18/F/England.

Got some snow here today. I love the snow.

>>23155776
I don't speak French unfortunately, did it in school for 6 years but I'm awful with languages and don't remember it :(. My mum is French and my dad's family are from all over eastern Europe but he grew up in Germany. They met in England and that's were we've lived ever since.

>>23155812
And your mom never spoke to you in French while you were a kid ?
Damn, that's too bad ! If i have a child one day, i'll definitly speak to him in french ! (in the case if i were married to a english speaker girl (that would be awesome btw))
>>23155794
yeah snow is cool, too bad where i live it's only rain, not cold enough to have snow :/

>>23155794
Whereabouts in England?

>>23155836
yep, best way to teach your kid 2 languages. no extra effort just have your partner speak the other language in front of your kid.

Hi, im from Hungary - Magyarország. Greetings from here :-)

>>23155836
>>23155853
I think she might of, but obviously not enough for me to pick up on it. Missed opportunity I guess :/

>>23155836
That sucks. I enjoy being surprised with snow. I had a rather unpleasant surprise today as it turned out there was a small hole in my boot so I had one freezing wet foot.
>>23155837
NE

>>23155917
well, at the same time i'm like, 1h30 away by car to the mountains sooo i can have snow pretty much when i want ^^

>>23155897
hahaha too bad seriously ! C'est dommage !
Maybe you should ask her to speak to you in french each time you speak with her, with time you'll start to understand, this and put some french subtitles on movies !

Mahlzeit, 20/m/NRW hier.

There once was a german thread here that lasted almost a week with some 200+ replies. Maybe it's not all in vain.

>>23156103
maybe we are more social. I haven't really seen any huge dating app that is widely used across europe for example. I mean some people are using okcupid for example but no way you get as many matches as in US. same with tinder. also language barrier might be still the thing. I am 25 years old and I am pretty much the first generation in my country to learn english as second language instead of russian.
sometimes I envy those people, it might be fun to live in city with population larger than my whole country ^^ I suppose it is much easier to find similarly minded people for anything you like.

>>23156121
Coworker and a friend of mine are rocking tinder like a motherfucker though.

I have used craigslist to my advantage once. It was an expat that now lives in Brussels that I was able to hook up for a blowjob though. That's about it.

Currently chatting a couple up for a threesome in the netherlands. Here is hoping.

Looks like i m the older one on this thread

>>23156148
i've been 3 times in the aeroport of Moscow, everyone here is fucking rude, that's how russian people are ?

>>23156150
Why most french people I've met in mmos refuse to speek english, while playing on an english server?

>>23156174
Most french people don't speak english, i think they come to your server only because they're more people on it. Yeah we're not good at language

>>23156166
No, it's just we used to express themselves freely. We are nice people, mostly, it's just that most of slavs are not used to can their emotions.

>>23156174
from my experience (apart from a bit of hate towards england?) it is somehow hard to learn english for french people, especially pronunciation.
I used to play WoW with few of them and only one was willing to use teamspeak and it was somehow hard to understand him from time to time.
same goes to hungarians
also people from poland are kinda arrogant, they usually refuse to communicate with anyone

>>23155785
Haha, I haven't been around that much, so that narrows stuff down a bit.

Munich is always great and worth paying a visit, Cologne and Berlin too, though I'm not a fan of Berlin, too much hipsters and jerks there.

Other than that, Black Forest is nice, if you go there you can also drop by the Europa-Park, they got some nice things there.

>>23155794
I hate snow, only fun as a kid, but once you have to keep your driveway clear of it, you slowly start hating it.

Hm, I always wanted to visit England but I don't even know where I should go, despite London.

>>23156193
is russia really what they show us in dash cam videos? everyone seems to be slightly more confrontational than people in other countries.

>>23156209
Nah, people here will help you, but they'll just be tsundere about it.

It's kinda ironic that countries like Germany actually make profit from the situation. They (able to lend money with low interest from various sources) lend money with ridiculously high interest to Greece and other countries and in the long term gain much more money than they gave away, making the whole crisis just worse.

>mfw I'm german
>mwf everyone is like "topkek nobody will notice"

>>23156193
Well, i wasnt speaking about expressing yourself freely, but mostly bad and rude manners, like yelling at you in russian to tell you to hurry up, asking for your ticket with a "TICKET ! TICKET" without a "please", stuff like that.

>>23156174
I don t know. I ve always tried to speak english as often as i can. But learning language in france is hard, we gkt a bad education system for them.

>>23156370
Shitty personnel, srsly, those are barely able to communicate via basic english, and that's a problem everywhere here. I saw a cashier at BK, who couldn't even take an order from some foreign guy, and he just wanted to buy a whopper and some fries.

>>23156409
Well ok, it's such a shame because not speaking a bit of english in a aeroport... it's just don't make sense.

Anyway, maybe one day i'll visit Russia, hope people are nice here

23/m/pol here.

This thread is so dead already, like every eu thread on /soc/ I've seen...

>>23156439
bad english is general problem in eastern europe. it is not more than 25 years since fall of communism, back then if you knew how to speak english you were pretty much flagged as collaborator, spy or just enemy of regime.

>my friend got job in airport security out of 40 candidates because he can speak english if needed.
>at our university canteen it is not rare to see helpless foreign students trying to explain which food they want.
>bartenders usually got no clue as well, foreigners have to just point at menu to let them know what they want
those are just some examples. you do not want to have an accident that requires you to interact with local police I tell you that. it will take them whole day to find someone who is able to speak with you.

>>23162234
I heard people from sweden are not friendly, like no smile, no interaction with someone you don't know etc, apparently they're quite cold...
Is that true ?

>>23162253
A random stranger on the street or when waiting for the bus or whatever? Then yes, it's not very "normal" to just casually start a conversation unless you need something specific.
I'd say that the setting matters a lot, for example if you are in a bar/pub or at a party then people will definitely be sociable overall.

There are always exceptions everywhere, but there's definitely a pattern of "personal space" people like to have. But I wouldn't say we aren't friendly, though it's probably different then many other countries a lot of the time.

20/M/England
The ice here is really fucking up my week, too little grip to go out running in mornings, 15 minutes to de-ice car, fuck this weather.

>>23162284
Hmm ok...
My friends just told me that if you smile to them, they look at you like it's weird and don't return back the smile, stuff like this...

For now, the only swedish people i met were nice, and a girl was ultra slutty, like, maxi slut

>>23162306
Probably true if you were to do that to someone you're just passing on the street or whatever. They'd probably start wondering if you're drunk or something :P

Though once you get to know someone that's of course not the case any more, it's mostly just situations where you're bumping into strangers in a public place where the whole coldness is common.

>>23162343
Well, ok, i just thought it's a bit unusual, in my country if you smile at someone, they'll probably smile you back, unless they're very busy.

Any experience with french people btw ?
