Some advice:

1. Don’t start watching a German soap opera on YouTube if you’re not willing to put in the time necessary to watch all 17 seasons. Once you anfangen you won’t stoppen.

2. Think twice before ridiculing your older sister for her emotional entanglement in cheesy daytime TV dramas…you may someday find yourself choking up while watching a fanvid made by a 15 year old.  And/or throwing things at your laptop when your favorite couple breaks up (Whyyyyy did he sleep with that whore?!).

3. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. “I’m not watching this show anymore…until they get back together…or someone subtitles the next episode…all that’s available is German audio with French subs? Oui, monsieur.”

4. Accept it now that you will never be able to pull off an adorable striped sweater, no matter how cute it looks on everyone who lives in Germany, apparently. You’re not European. You will never be European.  Best to keep those dreams in your head.

5. Learn some German.  There are complexities there that just don’t exist in English. Also, staring at the subtitles makes it impossible to actually watch the show. You get to the point where you don’t even hear the actor’s voices; you’re just reading a book with flashy illustrations.  Hot, flashy illustrations. Really hot, often shirtless, flashy illustrations.

And finally, if you’ve ignored the rest of this advice:

6. For Christ’s sake, don’t watch the Judith episodes. What’s the German word for “snore?”
