Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

... So I should stop trying to learn German?
Nein. Learn German so you can understand German memes.
The biggest German meme community is: !ich_iel@feddit.org
I read those memes in /all despite not knowing a word of german.
I can already understand the super basic stuff. Too much guessing though.
No, we do actually appreciate when people speak good German, we just know it's an absolute pain and want to be nice.
Fair enough. As long as it's understandable, right?
Nah keep going. Most germans are just excited at the opportunity to speak english, but if you tell them that you would like to practice german, most will understand.
Lived in Germany for over a year.
Id say over 90% of conversations I started in German turned to English. They were all excited to use the english they had learned in school "cause no one wants to speak english but I want to practice my skills"
Like, you all want to speak english, just switch over. Even the kids were more excited to speak english cause everything uses "the"
Der die das is too much to use for even the native speakers haha
