• My wife found that with her very basic German it was much easier to listen in on conversations in Berlin than Hamburg. Too much Danish and slang I guess?

  • zugezogenen i.e. people from everywhere in germany in berlin hence speaking quite clean german.
    berlin accent itself is quite amusing and difficult to understand if youve learnt hochdeutsch. actually aching quite to dutch my mothertongue.

    example:
    BERLIN: ick koof bei lehmann
    NL: ik koop bij lehmann
    DE: ich kauf bei lehmann
