There are lots of English words the Germans use wrongly. A German "Public Viewing" is great fun. An English public viewing? Not so much. These are typical false friends. Rachel Stewart takes a look at some English words that have taken on a whole new meaning in Germany.

Rachel is on a mission to investigate the idiosyncrasies of daily life in Germany. Every two weeks she explores a new topic - from beer to nudity to complicated grammar. This week she's delving back into language.

Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. You'll find more from Meet the Germans on YouTube or at dw.com/MeettheGermans.
