Meanwhile in downtown Munich…

romance.jpgSo last week, with the subject of Movies and Films being taught in class, we had learned the word: kitschig. This word generally describes overly romantic films, and can be best translated best as cheesy. So you can imagine my surprise to hear two teenager girls talking about a date one of the girls had the previous night, and had used this very word!! It was so amusing to hear this conversation, especially because the girl had thought the man to be “overly romantic” and therefore, kitschig! I was so excited because a) I could understand the whole conversation in German, and b) my vocabulary lessons paid off!! and c) I was able to listen to authentic German girl gossip!
