No, it most likely won't (unless labelled region free which is not that common). Most DVDs have a region code that restricts it to being watched only on DVD players of this particular region. The USA, Canada etc. are region 1, whereas Europe [including Germany] and most parts of Asia are region 2. So, if there's the possibility of ordering a region free copy of this DVD, it'll all be just fine otherwise it, I'm afraid, won't work. Hope it helped.

No, but you can watch it on your Computer.Thats how I do it.
3 :
Unless it is a universal DVD, it will more than likely not work. PAL 2 does not work in US.
4 :
normally no its regional coded unless its not formatted...it does work though if it is either porn or if it was purchased on an american army post.

DVDs generally have different "regions". The US and Germany are in different regions. So, it won't work, unless either the DVD specifically says on the cover that it is regionless (plays in all regions) or your DVD player has been hacked to play DVDs of all regions. It would probably be illegal for me to tell you how to do the 2nd thing, so I won't...but it is possible for some DVD players.

American DVD players, unless region 0, are region 1. German DVD's are region 2. German DVD's will also be in the PAL picture format, as compared to NTSC for American DVD's. That said, if you have a region 0 DVD player, that will read both NTSC and PAL, and output either as NTSC, you can do it. If you bought the DVD player in the US, it's highly unlikely that it is region 0. You can find out the region by looking at the back or bottom of the player. There should be a small picture of a globe with a number in it. The number will tell you the region of the player. If it is region 0, then you go into video set-up in the DVD player menu, and look for video format, this will tell you whether it accepts both PAL and NTSC, or just NTSC. If it accepts both, check for the output format. If the player will output in either format, regardless of input format, then you can play the DVD.

It is now possible to buy DVD players that play DVDs from all regions....so it depends on your dvd player...even at Walmart. THe U.S. region is # 1...so either you must have an all-region dvd player, or the dvd needs to say on the back that it can be played in region 1.
4 :
no here in Germany and in all of Europe we all have different format for our DVDs and in American it is different with ours i know because I've tried and my DVD player can't read American format...รข™¥
5 :
Look in the internet if your DVD player is codefree. My player plays all formats.

How do beer gardens in Germany work
How do beer gardens in Germany work?
How do they differ from regular restaurants? Is there any etiquette that I should be mindful of?

Like a pub, but you sit outside in the garden. (weather permitting). Peace.
2 :
Nope, you just seat and wait for somebody to come and take your order. The only etiquette is the same as everywhere in the world, be polite to the staff and to other customers and don't be raucous.
3 :
Well it's like a garden where you can drink real good beer and eat sausages and other German food. It's really nice if you're out with friends and if the sun is shining.
4 :
I was recently watching a Rick Steves program on PBS. He was on vacation in Germany and went to a beer garden with a friend. Apparently a Beer Garden is an old German tradition. Friends meet up in the evening, listen to music, talk and drink beer. There is simple German food that you can buy and the portions were huge! What I did not know is that you can also bring your own food to go along with the beer that you purchase. As the evening goes on the place does get rowdy and many younger people get very loud. As an American traveling to Germany I would absolutely have to go to a beer garden to experience that. It looks like a lot of fun.

and the food will be secondary, but having said that, the wursts and other kinds of sausage, potatoes, and salads will be pretty yummy. The food in Frankfurt is outstanding, for example, with special local dishes in an amazing green herb sauce. Also famous for their Black Forest cake, of course... Expect to eat heartily, and cheaply. And work out the sizes of the steins in the biergarten before you go-the Germans always snigger at the Americans who gesture "large" and nearly keel over trying to lift the stein when it comes, because they have ordered a litre (33 ounces! -gets pretty flat unless you are a FAST drinker) (it can be the same in Italy, BTW!) http://www.deutscheshaus.cc/html/library_beer_steins/sizes_of_steins.html Enjoy!

Your should get a CELTA or DELTA qualification from a recognized course provider. (Here is a link with a bit more information on CELTA's http://www.http://seemoreplaces.com/blog/?p=27) You may have a little difficulty getting a job in Germany however if you are not an EU passport holder. This does not mean it is not possible, just more difficult. I hope this has been useful to you.
