Alex (from Germany) and Jim (from the USA) are talking about cultural differences and similarities between Germany and the USA.

That was fun to watch - and really interesting for a language-nerd like me. It sort of reminded me of "Karambolage", a TV-show about cultural and linguistical differences between German and French. Very funny and appropriate to the topic is the following part about the "bise", the french custom of kissing eachother when you meet. Unfortunately it's only in German and French without subtitles.

Thanks for commenting.
Actually French was my first language at school so I'm really glad for your linked advice. It was very interesting and funny.
Alas it is only in one language, either French or German. So it may have been more informative or educational than Alex and Jim but Alex and Jim live out the intercultural exchange more direct.
Nevertheless it is a very good idea and way to improve my lost French. *gg*
