   Everyone who thinks German sounds like an angry language hasn’t heard schlager music.
   
   Schlager makes Germans sound like the most happy-go-lucky people on the planet.
   
   As in, yeah, I think I will help myself to some bratwurst. 🪗🍻

     That's #Bavarian Dialect. Sounds quite different from standard High German.

     BTW: #Fasching--German carneval--starts tomorrow (02/08/2024.--#Gründonnerstag.)

     Worth watching. Each region has its own customs.
     E.g. the #KölnerKarneval, where you can see the origins of #US #chearleading, in contrast with the somber #AlemannischeFastnacht with its heathen costumes and scary but impressive masks.
