Hello people, we are taking you on a typical lunch break today. We were in the office, we were working, now we are hungry. Are you hungry, Janusch? I am hungry and I am thirsty. Let's go!
[Music]
Janusch, what do we usually eat for lunch? We usually eat many different things for lunch, but today we have little time. Therefore, we have to find a restaurant quickly. We are taking you to our standard favorite restaurant now, and it's raining, so we have to hurry.
[Music]
We are now sitting in the restaurant and we want to order something. Janusch, have you found anything yet? Yes, and I often have a mix of rice, beef, and salad. How about you try something new today? That's a very nice idea, but maybe, maybe not today. How about vegetarian food? I love vegetarian food, especially rice with vegetables, but there's no "but". Delicious is delicious. And how about today? I think today I feel like having this "golden beef," so fried beef with crispy salad made of mango strips, colorful peppers, carrots, and cucumber, seasoned with lime, garlic, and chili.
[Music]
Fish sauce? Do you... Janusch is on the phone in Polish. Janusch has a friend with whom he talks every day. This friend also helps me with my diet. Ah, okay. He knows his stuff, and we often talk about how beef is good for the diet. Yes, yes, of course, among other things. Janusch, there is also a lunch menu, "Business Lunch." That means these dishes are particularly cheap. They cost 9 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. So, somewhere in between, but I'm happy to pay around 12, 13 euros. In some countries, that's very cheap, right, Chris? In the USA, it's more expensive to go out for lunch, isn't it? Chris nods behind the camera. But in America, there's also much cheaper food, right? Much, what, much fast food? That's hopefully cheaper then. Chris says, "No, I've decided. I'll have what I always have." What a decision! And you, surprisingly, are also having what you always have. Yes, indeed. Then I don't think for long, the decision is already made before I think. It's often the same for me. I already 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, yes, and a large apple spritzer. My standard lunch order. And I would like the 72, and a sparkling water, and a Vietnamese coffee with milk. With milk. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Beautiful. Thank you very much.
Janusch, what is that? That is a Vietnamese coffee. It tastes very delicious with condensed milk down here, and is therefore very sweet and very delicious. I order either sparkling water every day, which is very popular in Germany, or apple spritzer, which is apple juice with sparkling water. Very delicious. Cheers! Cheers! This "cheers" Janusch only learned yesterday and tried it for the first time today. Yes, I have a nice German book, "The New German Customs," and it describes all these little cultural phenomena in Germany, silly sayings for toasting, or generally whenever you see each other. 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 phones. Janusch is looking at memes, and I'm looking at work messages. Manuel asks if he can record a podcast with you tomorrow. Oh, very gladly, of course. 2 PM? Yes, and afterwards I'm going with Sus... No, with R, I think.
[Music]
Fits, fits.
[Music]
Thank you very much. Beautiful. Thank you. My standard meal is here. Janusch, do you eat with chopsticks? Very gladly. I find it... or with a fork, mostly both, but it's a lot of fun to eat with chopsticks. Can you even do that? Not really. Okay, delicious tofu. May I try some of yours? Yes. Do you want to try some of mine too? Yes. It doesn't work. You have to try the tofu. What are you doing with my food? Oh, here Janusch is poking around in my food.

Learning German with short, simple stories, just like in this video. If you enjoy that, I have a great tip for you, and that is the "SeLingo" app. This app is available on your phone, and in this app, there are many short stories. Each 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 where you have to repeat the sentences, and through that, you can practice your pronunciation and also memorize the words better. I think it's a great idea to have German with you on the go, always in your pocket, and to learn everywhere, for example, on 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. SeLingo is available in the App Store and Google Play Store.
Janusch, your bowl is almost empty. You devoured the lunch. It was very delicious, as always. "Devour" is when you eat like that, that's called devouring. Janusch, do you often eat fast or rather slowly, like this video? I eat slowly when I eat with chopsticks. But when I take a spoon, then it goes fast. We've now had a Vietnamese lunch, or a lunch at a Vietnamese place. Is that a typical lunch for you? What do people eat in Berlin? That's the beauty of Berlin. You have many 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 know? Do you also sometimes eat German food? But also Japanese, for example, these, these meat skewers. What about currywurst? Maybe you thought all people in Berlin eat bratwurst every Wednesday, every lunch. No, bratwurst is eaten ceremonially, from time to time, but with great joy, from time to time, often in a beer garden or something. So, now it's time for my coffee. Janusch, do you want dessert? I don't think so. The coffee is my dessert. Delicious. Aha, the coffee has brewed. Now Janusch is stirring the coffee. He is mixing the coffee and the milk, the condensed milk. They say "schmackofatz," delicious, very delicious, yummy yummy.
Janusch, I paid. The company paid. The company paid. We spent 47 euros for three lunches. Chris also got lunch and three drinks. Is that expensive for Berlin? I think for Berlin, that's not very expensive, but yes, I couldn't afford something like that every day, of course. Your meal was the most expensive, 15.50 euros. I'm also the fattest here in the group. I gave another 3 euros tip. I spent 50 euros. So, now we're going back to work. It's raining, and we're running through the rain to the office. Are you full, Janusch? I am full. I am warm. I am happy. The weather is very nostalgic and romantic, and I'm now looking forward to the afternoon. Bye.
