The best way to learn a language is probably to watch movies in that language. So, download some german movies. Any suggestions?
The best German movies IMO from the last few years:

- Das Wunder von Bern ( a nice movie about Germany in the 50s, settled around Germany winning World Cup in 54 )

- Good bye, Lenin! (very funny, located in Berlin shortly after the Wiedervereinigung 1990)

But I don't know how easy to understand they are.
Or watch a movie you already know in German, maybe with subtitles if possible.

KR: There is no word to word translation for "My two cent" (Groschen was the word for the 10 Pfennig = 5 cent piece), in Germany we call it "seinen Senf dazugeben" ( to add one's mustard )

Adding one's mustard makes sense due to the sausage-eating stereotype.

And of course learning German will give you access to:

- heaps of Schlagermusic, best enjoyed on one of the television shows that are dedicated to this music. Will give you a chance to get acqainted with the dutch traditional dress as well.
- German pornmovies. Think big moustaches and girls in the Alps.
