Hessian for Advanced Learners - Humor with Walter Renneisen

"Hessian isn't that hard, really. Even if others don't understand what we're saying, they know what we mean!"

Following the success of "Deutschland, Deine Hessen", Walter Renneisen is back with a new show - a collection of anecdotes, poems, short stories and very short stories from everyday life in Hesse. The topics: misunderstandings between men and women, children, marriage, mothers-in-law, money - and this time, front and centre: love. Hessian love.

A young Hessian woman says to a young Hessian man:
"Ei, Willi! Waaßte, was mir mache?"
"Einverstanne, Lissi!"
"Awwer Willi, um zehn muss ich dahaam sei!"

Years later, the same woman says to the same man:
"Ei, Willi! Du sitzt ja die ganz Zeit im Sessel, hast die Aache zu und lächelst?"
"Ich träum´, Lissi."
"Willi! Laß Dich bloß net von mir erwische!"

Renneisen approaches it all with wit and a pleasantly light touch.
