How to be German in 50 easy steps / Beck'sche Reihe Bd.6103 (ePub)

Adam Fletcher is a thirty-year-old, bald Englishman living in Berlin. When not writing books and articles, he mostly spends his days dreaming up a whole range of largely unsuccessful products for his business «The Hipstery», eating chocolate and napping. He dedicates this book to his Ossi girlfriend Annett, since she dropped about 18,000 hints that he should do so and he¿d really just like a little peace and quiet now. «How to be German» started its life as an online blog series, which much to Adam¿s surprise has been read more than one million times, generating thousands of comments, both saying how right and how wrong he was (this directly resulted in the addition of Step 29: Klugscheißen). Adam has written about thirty new steps, expanded some old ones, had everything nicely illustrated and the result is this book. Find out more about Adam and how you can also contact him to tell him how right/wrong he is at http://hipstery.com.
