German traditions or superstitions? (Nina from Germany)

If you've ever wished a German "Happy birthday" before their actual birthday, you will no doubt have quickly learnt that it's just not done. It's just a tradition based on superstition, but many Germans abide by it. So, is it tradition, or actually superstition? Shaun has his opinion, and he talks with Nina, a German, about it. They also cover the "Eisheilige" belief that you shouldn't sow certain plants before middle of May, drinking traditions, and more.

We also cover what the daddy long legs spider is called in German.

Show notes: 

• Shaun and Nina's other podcast: Die Deutsche und der Ausländer
