Overview

Learn to Speak German--the Dirty Deutsch Way!

If you think German is all brat and no wurst, you need to think again. German is sexier--and dirtier--than you might imagine. (Think Hamburg!) From hearts and violins to pigs and dogs, Goethe's native tongue is ripe--and rank--with creative obscenities, including:

Kuck mal diese geile Schnitte!
Look at that sexy chick!
Literal translation: Look at that sexy slice!

Alle wissen dass Klaus sehr gut geigt.
Everyone knows Klaus f**ks well.
Literal translation: Everyone knows Klaus plays the violin well.

Meet the Author

Alexis Munier (Lausanne, Switzerland) relocated from California to Europe in her mid-twenties and began teaching English at world-renown language schools in Russia, Slovenia, and Italy. After a stint in Zurich where she was a nanny to a Swiss-German family and had a number of Swiss and Austrian boyfriends, she took to dirty German slang like a Berliner takes to beer. Now a writer and opera singer based in Switzerland, Ms. Munier still finds time to visit Vienna regularly, where she never fails sing Wagner and feast on Wienerschnitzel, and a frosty mug of Bier.

Karin Eberhardt (New York, NY) was born and raised in the wine-growing regions of the German Rheinland. While completing work on master's degrees in German and English, she visited New York City and met her future husband on a subway train. Ms. Eberhardt currently spends her days as a teacher specializing in cross-cultural German-American projects and nights educating her American artist husband in the 101 ways of Bavarian sausage-making.

    I really like this; the German I never learned in school

    The name is a little of a misnomer, the book is mostly Umgangsprache, the every day, colloquial German used in conversation, with about 10% of the 'dirty' variety.
    The author has included some interesting chapters about modern German culture, from tv to music.
    Great book, all the stuff I never learned back in high school, when we were reading Erich K¿stner books
