A "Türkisch für Anfänger" Pilot picspam

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

For picspammy's October challenge: Türkisch für Anfänger (Turkish for Beginners) is a German comedy about a German-Turkish family that deals with adolescence and culture clash. Lena Schneider is very displeased when her mom decides to move in with her Turkish boyfriend, Metin, and his teenage children, the macho Cem and the very religious Yağmur. My German teacher actually introduced this show to my class while we were learning the words for family members and we all liked it instantly. Unfortunately, the DVDs don't seem to have English subtitle options and I can't find fansubs for anything past the pilot so I'm sort of watching the rest of the episodes raw. I hope they come out with an English subtitled version eventually because I'd love to understand all the dialogue instead of just bits and pieces!

- Please don't use these caps for graphic making!
- If you want to check out this episode, the entire pilot is up and English-subtitled on Youtube in three parts:

Oh my god, I just watched the first part of the pilot and it's hilarious! I kind of want to watch Little Mosque on the Prairie as well, and this reminded me of that. :)

Yeah, I haven't watched LMotP yet but it reminded me of that as well! :D

Oh, I loved this show!
I used to watch it on MTV Italy, but I think they decided to cancel it or something.
I've only seen 3 or 4 eps!

Btw, gorgeous spam! <3

Oh, cool! Yeah, I ran across a bunch of MTV Italy links while searching for English subtitles for the show. I wish they had broadcast it over here in the US!

The day they host that show here is the day that Muslim people can stop worrying about discrimination. :/

Wow, I actually watched part of the first season on my class's trip to Germany this year! I'm really pleased that someone else knows about it because even the German family I stayed with wasn't familiar with it.

And I completely agree about the English subtitles. My friend and I were trying to translate the dialogue, but we really only got the gist of what they were saying. There were entire subplots that took us a long time to understand. :)

Anyway, great picspam! This show really is super adorable.

Sehr schön! This showing up in my feed is a sign that I should watch this. Fantastisch, danke! :3

Oh wow! This show looks really awesome - and the picspam is beautiful.

I hope English subs come out for the rest; I'd really love to watch this show!

Oh awesome picspam! I love this show. Together with "Berlin, Berlin" I'd say it's like the best German comedy series ever.

I've got to say I was really surprised to see this show picspammed, specially from someone from America :D I am from Germany and I've seen all episodes of the show (which contains three season btw)... and I loved it :D <3
Its really sad that the dvds are avaiable with english subtitles :(

[spirited-lizard.livejournal.com]

Very funny show! Watched it every now and then. :)

Hey girly! I was wondering how you got the dvds? My university library doesn't seem to have them, nor do any libraries near me. Does Rutgers have them? I'd like to request an Interlibrary Loan if they do!

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

LOL, no, I actually ended up torrenting the episodes. If you're on a university network, do you have a download limit? If not, I'll give you the link. :) It'll be totally in German sans subtitles, though. I basically have no clue what's going on half the time. :P

[rhapsodyinpink.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be awesome, but unfortunately, my university forbids torrents! That's like the only thing they catch you for.

I did find out that they have the first 12 episodes at the University of Illinois, though, so I think I should be fine. :D

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

OMG really? That's awesome! OMG, tell me if they somehow magically happen to have subtitles; I'm totally loaning it from them after you're done. ♥_♥

[rhapsodyinpink.livejournal.com]

I will for sure! :)
