Week 09: Multilingual Homes, Carnival and Red Lights

In this week’s episode of Plus Forty Nine, we sit down with Amelia
and Tarek, the founders of Co-Tasker, a platform connecting people
in need of quick and reliable help with skilled professionals
looking for flexible work opportunities — or maybe even someone to
stand in line at Berghain for them. We’ll talk about what brought
them to Berlin and how they built a community-driven service that
makes life easier for expats and locals alike. Additionally, in our
Ask a German segment, we once again dive into some cultural
curiosities, for instance why Germans always wait for the green
light, even when the streets are empty, and the many meanings of
the little word “Na.” We also cover the latest news, including a
look at Germany’s multilingual households.
