People say Bavaria is the Texas of Germany.
I never heard of Grünwald before, but my limited and very short research came to the conclusion that it is not very representative of the rest of Germany.
You greet a Bavarian with "Grüß Gott" (good luck pronouncing that one correctly) or "Servus".
Obviously you should try every kind of beer and food you see.
Point 1 is only true for the bavarian countryside far away from big cities though. Munich itself is actually quite progressive. Not as left as Berlin for sure, but as a berliner in munich i was quite surprised that my prejudices about conservative bavarians didnt hold at all.
Munich has a lot oft industry and company headquaters. Most people have a good job and a gold life. Thats something i felt in the City as well. The people have fewer problems than in other areas, enjoy Cafés and bars , and speak less about politics than in other german cities (although they do habe opinions and vote). In the one Hand i like this athomsphere of people enjoying their lives in the other Hand i find it quite strange not to speak about the daily events.
Also poverty does exists its just not as visible AS in other german cities. People themselves Seen to hide it as long aS they can. And the real poor people linke homless people are checked by the bavarian police so offen that they avoid the City center. Of course the City looks "nicer" this way but to me thats just in humann. Many people dont know this and are shocked when they come to other german cities with More homeless people visible. They tend to say " wow munich is much better - no poor people". Thats not true. they exist but are forced to hide vor go to other cities.
I've personally never been to Texas and it's a long time since I went to Bavaria, but doesn't that description of Munich vs the surrounding countryside more or less work for Houston vs the surrounding countryside?
I don't think it's even necessarily a left vs right political thing either, both regions also just have quite distinct and independent cultural traditions from the rest of the country
Good point. I dont know anything about the cities in Texas. :D
First word rhymes with "goose", second is pronounced as it looks? That's what my decades-rusty language skills are telling me, at least.
"Gruß" rhymes with "Goose", yes. But you have to pronounce the Ü in "Grüß". U and Ü are not the same letter. I cant think of any phonetic example in the english language to explain how to ponounce it.
The second word you can just pronounce like the english word "Got", yes.
Ü is fairly simple to "construct". The tongue position is like in "ee" (like in geese), but the lips are pointed like in "oo" (like goose).
