Reading with author Lea Streisand

Love hurts, and Berliners aren’t wimps. These are the most important lessons you should know about communicating in the capital.

They like to grumble and give you dirty looks, but you shouldn’t take it personally. The Berlin dialect is a constructed language. They’re just putting on a show.

Lea Streisand has written a cultural history of the Berlin dialect for locals and newcomers—concise, clever, and with a touch of quiet humor—just like her audio column “war schön jewesen” on radioeins.
