  4. Other typical German grammar mistakes include not getting conditional ("If I WERE you, I WOULD.") and subjunctive clauses ("It's crucial that you BE here.") right, dropping essential auxiliary verbs ("I WILL go there tomorrow."), mixing up the English subject-verb-object (SVO) word order, inserting temporal expressions at the wrong position in a sentence or clause, and overusing the perfect tense which is more common in German ("I have given her the keys yesterday.") over the simple past (preterite) tense which is more common in English ("I gave her the keys yesterday.").

  5. I love this video. So much wonderful information included. Not just a pronunciation lesson, but also a cultural and historical lesson. Thank you for sharing.

  6. As a Québécois, I am thrilled by how respectful you are to the Pennsylvania Dutch community. I have seen too many YouTubers from Europe listening to Canadian and Louisiana French as if it's just hilarious and as if modern European French is "better," rather than respecting communities who have defended our French for centuries.

  7. Ok, also die bösen Flüchtlinge treiben die Mordraten rauf, aber Nazis sind das Schlimmste. Er macht also rasisstische Aussagen, die auf falschen Fakten basieren, und regt sich dann über Rassisten auf? Naja, so kann mich sich auch selbst lächerlich machen.

  8. I feel like he's actually an undercover german

  9. Danke für die Gegendarstellung, das war ja schon fast schmerzhaft... Jetzt in Corona Zeiten bin ich ehrlich gesagt aber echt froh hier in DE zu sein, in Sachen Gesundheitsvorsorge kann ich hier jetzt grade nicht meckern, zumindest nicht im Vergleich zu den USA...

  10. Deutsch: „Der, die, das, wieso, weshalb, warum?" English: "The, the, the, why, why why?"
    2100
  11. Uno reverse card: You're watching this as a German to get to know what's different in America

  12. legt Handtuch hin so die Kommentarsektion ist jetzt deutsches Staatsgebiet
    1900
  13. I think it's funny that Christopher Lee says he doesn't speak German very well. He gives himself away the moment he says "I haven't studied it" and then corrects himself: "I haven't learned it." The fact that he knows this common mistake made by non-native speakers shows how high his level is.
    1900
  14. I carefully assessed the risks and, finally, decided to stay in Germany. Of course, it’s a daily struggle not being robbed of my cash by Nazis, surviving snow storms without air condition in December, or, even worse, encountering bad graffiti that may even kill you. It has never been a country for the faint hearted like Briggs but for tough guys to which I certainly belong. Hmmmm, or maybe not? 🤔

  15. Deutsch ist schon eine schöne Sprache „Umfahren ist das Gegenteil von Umfahren“.
    1800
  16. As someone who works in the service industry here in America, I really appreciate that people from other countries actually notice the difference. Because there are a lot of American customers who are very very rude to us even when we’re courteous. So thanks🥺

  17. I am from Salzburg, 64 years ... when I saw that movie it was like a time travel back to the time when I was a kid ... the same streets, the same cars ... we drove the same streets on sundays. Pure nostalgia 😁🥰
    1700
  18. Hat das Sichten dieses schlecht recherchierten Dünnpfiffs eigentlich weh getan? Ich habe das jetzt nur einmal gesehen und mir klingeln die Ohren. Hut ab, schöne Gegendarstellung!
    1600
  19. German: "Oh, born in 1994." American: "The hell year is 'Iggy'?"
    1500
  20. This Mr. Briggs obviously not only has never been to Germany, but also close to no clue about what Germany is about. Felicia did a good job to point this out.
    1500
  21. We won the lottery when you got your green card.

  22. No drones back then, Imagine being Julie Andrews standing & spinning in a meadow, then this huge copter & camera comes flying over your head. She said it was actually terrifying.
    1500
  23. Just googled it. Germany has more castles (25000) than the US has MCDONALD'S (14000)!😂
    1500
  24. I am also German and when I visited Australia I was surprised at how people in their early 20s already bought houses for themselfes. In my hometown you literally need to be a millionare to buy even your own flat, and its still much cheaper than the larger german cities like Munich.
    1500
  25. English speakers should adopt the word "Doch". It's the most effective weapon the Germans have ever invented.
    1400
  26. I completely understand why you would cringe when you hear German spoken incorrectly in movies. I retired from the US Army, and I CRINGE every time I see a military movie where the soldiers are ALL wrong. Their hair is too long, or their uniform is incorrect, or their salute is wrong (or sloppy), or an enlisted man speaks to an officer without the respect due an officer. I hate those inaccuracies so much that I usually can't even finish watching the movie! I spent 3 years stationed in Würzburg, Germany, BTW. And I loved it. That's why I love your channel so much. 😊 I can usually butcher my broken German well enough to at least be understood. Here's the funny thing. I can usually understand German better when it is spoken by an American than I can when it's spoken by a native German.
    1400
  27. I spoke only Klingon to my imaginary girlfriend for 7 years.
    1400
  28. The fact that you only had two weeks to rebrand your channel and rework all of the old videos is insane. Good luck building your new brand, I'm confident that things will go very well from here!

  29. Meine Gedanken während sein Video spielte: >Was zur Hölle? >Redet der wirklich über Deutschland?! >Bitte was?! >Aha, und wann hat das gestimmt? >... Ich bin raus...

  30. Beim nächsten Mal muss er "Tschechisches Streichholzschächtelchen" richtig aussprechen, dann ist er offiziell ein Deutscher :-)
    1300
  31. I don't know why i'm watching this. I am german.
    1300
  32. As a German: This guy talks (mostly) Blödsinn. Thank you for getting this straight.
    1300
  33. Serious respect for taking on these issues in an open manner. It's brave and you do it well
    1200
  34. Learn. Every. Noun. with the. Article. From the beginning. It will save you A LOT of problems later.
    1200
  35. I feel like as Americans we are very insulated from foreign politics so learning about German politics is very informative. Please continue to tell us more.

  36. I once saw a T-Shirt that said “Porsche is a 2 syllable word”.

  37. British living in Köln here: 10 - I feel safer in Köln than I did in the North of England. 9 - Graffiti, I really like most of it. 8 - I'd rather pay 50c to use a clean toilet than what I'm used to in the UK. Most public toilets are closed because of drug abuse. 7 - I admit they were intimidating when learning the language, but once you're able to see the words you know, its easy. English example: Coatpocketbutton. 6- Taxes are high, but the wage is higher. 5- Cash is something that takes time to get used to, but after a month it was normal to use and ATM every few days. 4- Winters are mild from what I've seen. 3- Yeah, okay as I'm writing this I wish I had air conditioning. Its 31c, and will be like this for the next 5 days. But for 5 weeks maximum in the summer will you wish you had it, and that isn't a consecutive 5 weeks. That's 3 days here, 2 days there... 2- I love that everything is closed on a Sunday. I can live one day without needing the supermarket or clothes shops. 1- Nazis... Why does anything about Germany from the US and also back home in the UK have to involve Nazis? Yes there are far right groups, but every county has that. There are a few things that annoy me but they are just differences. Paperwork and appointments. I had an appointment, to make the next appointment. The next appointment was to tell me what to bring to my next appointment. The final appointment is what I actually needed... Also the Y and Z are the wrong way round on my keyboard and that makes it so hard to speed type when I have a Y in my word :D

  38. Easy to explain the two mattresses in one bed: when you have to sleep with your sibling in one bed, the line means "you shall not pass" and if you do, it gives the other the right to push you violently back behind your side of the line
    1100
  39. A friend once told me that the intact wiener “just looks unnatural”. I asked her if she understood the words that were coming out of her mouth. She didn’t.
    1100
  40. Informative and not overly dramatic for such a serious story. Nice work and better than most media coverage.
    1100
  41. The person that translated it into english got a bunch of idiots saying they "ruined it" or its "rude to translate" and its such a shame cause the translation is insanely good and accurate
    1100
  42. “My cat is fluent in both languages” simply means “my cat ignores me in both languages”
    1000
  43. The fact that this video needed a three minute introduction to explain to people that you actually can criticize aspects of a country without being mean or ungrateful or unpatriotic can be considered a point in itself.
    1000
  44. Let's be clear: I really don't care if a non-English speaker makes mistakes. I know lots of non- English speakers, even someone from Munich. They are doing me the biggest favor by speaking English because I'm not fluent in any other language. Accents are awesome! And I Love to meet people from abroad 😊

  45. My High School German Teacher kept telling us to stop trying to sound like Hitler making an Angry Speech in Nuremburg. He was always telling us to mellow it out it wasn't as harsh as we were all making it out to be. The problem is, most of us non German American kids really never had much of a chance to hear native German speakers. What I grew up with was watching Documentaries of Hitler making Angry speeches and Hogan' Heros. ( A popular TV comedy show ) When I visited Austria and Germany I had to adjust my ears because the radio, subway and people talk much smoother than what I ever expected.
    1000
  46. "...their vote didn't really count." That's not 100% accurate. I live in a state where I am not inline with the leading party, but I still vote every year. Just casting a vote sends the message that we are watching and we care. If you give up on voting, you enable politicians to think they can do whatever they feel like. That is a recipe for disaster. Everyone should vote!

  47. After I had surgery, the nurses came into my room saying that it was time for my injection. I asked that it was. They gave me some big long Latin name. Not recognizing the name, I asked if it was narcotic. They said that it was. I told them that I would not have it. They went into my records documenting that I was combative and uncooperative. Later the doctor came in and asked why I was being a problem. I told him that I was not feeling the need for narcotics and I do not want them unless I really really need them. He asked me to take a couple of aspirin pills at least on the first day and we will see how things go from there. I went home from the hospital without taking any narcotics!!

  48. This reminds me of the mantra: "English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though." 😂

  49. I payed this song for my German mom on .5 speed and she still couldn't keep up. She is 85 and trying to rap... she is the cutest!
    932
  50. - Is it a boy? Is it a girl? - No, it's a podcast!
    927
  51. As a German who studied Linguistics and Communication Science this video makes me so happy! Love how you make such detailed aspects of spoken language, speaking trends and their effects known and connect them to today's perception of the German language! 💪
    924
  52. One of my best life experiences was to visit the Oktoberfest with a girlfriend from Munich. Being a Scotsman, I went in my own traditional clothing (kilt). I was unable to buy my own beer for at least 3 days, as the people were all so friendly to me, and they all bought me beer! Of course, they all wanted to know if I was really wearing (or perhaps not wearing) my clothing properly!! It is wonderful to experience one another’s cultures and I am certain we would have much fewer issues if people were more willing to travel and enjoy different cultures.
    918
  53. German ordering in a Restaurant: can I become a steak please? American waiter/waitress: well I’m not sure, you can certainly give it a try 😂🤣😂

  54. Wow er muss verdammt intelligent sein, merkt man auch an seinem Wortschatz. Massiv beeindruckend, Hut ab.
    894
  55. Englishman living in Germany here. I've managed to introduce my family to the amazingly useful German word "jein". That's a word we need in English!!!
    885
  56. As a 54 years old German, I do agree on every single word. This is 100% in line with my experience. Couldn' t be explained in a better way. Thanks a lot! The most impressive memorial for me in everyday life is the constant reminder on all paths through the stumbling stones. Also the constant exchange with the old hereditary enemy France and a visit to the wonderful neighbours, e.g. in Alsace, make us understand the value of the European Union today. Never before have we had such a long period of peace in Europe. A visit to the battlefields of Verdun helps to appreciate this value.
    884
  57. There is one thing you got wrong: It's not your cat living in your families home ... it's your family living in the cats home :)
    846
  58. Hey guys, here are two things that I forgot to mention in the video that I'd like to add! :) Annotation 1: [I was actually going to mention this in the video and wrote it down in my notes too but then I totally forgot when I wrote the script and didn’t notice it until I saw all of your comments just now. This fits in right at around 13:18 .] Bands like Rammstein use this style of speaking, including the overly rolled R, in their music to this day in combination with other stylistic elements that create somewhat of a “Nazi aesthetic”. The band is known to be politically anti-fascist though and seems to use this style mainly to provoke. Annotation 2: I should have mentioned in this context again that there are many regional dialects in Germany (mainly in the South) as well as in other German-speaking countries where people use the rolled R in their normal, everyday speech. However, they don’t use it in the same overly expressive way as Hitler did, and -- with exception of Swiss German -- these dialects don’t usually stress the Rs at the end of words either.

  59. I don't understand why, as french who lives in France, I like watching a german girl talking about differences between USA and Germany. 😁😁 It makes me feel I am traveling during the lockdown. Moreover as many french I love Germany. Vive l'amitié entre la France et l'Allemagne !! 🇨🇵🇩🇪❤
    803
  60. @7:02 "it's only a 10-15 minute drive". 1. Measure traveling in time instead of distance? Check 2. Driving instead of walking or public transportation? Check 3. Mace (a weapon) on you? Check 4. McDonald's breakfast in the drive thru? Check You were American before you even got naturalized :D

  61. As a native English speaker I found this incredibly interesting.
    741
  62. The most notable fact about Marti Fischer missing is that he not only does great cover songs, but has a fantastic series "How does music actually work" where he (re)creates old and new songs in the distinctive style of specific artists. And very recently he created a banger track for protests against Nazis, which we might need more often now in the future.
    731
  63. I'm German but went to university in Italy. All my friends and flatmates would ask me what language I was speaking on the phone the first time they would hear me speak German with my parents. All of them claimed my German doesn't sound German, because it doesn't sound like German in movies 😂 They all thought German is harsh and loud and didn't think it can sound soft and sweet.
    713
  64. Innocent untill proven guilty goes both ways. We can't assume Till is guilty and we can't assume the people making these claims are liars.
    683
  65. I want "Holla the wood fairy!" to make a comeback...
    666
  66. The funniest thing I ever saw language wise was friends family in Meran. The father was ethnically Italian, was having a conversation with his wife, an ethnic Austrian. The father was speaking German, the mother answering in Italian. The son was speaking English to both of them. The phone rang, the son answered in Italian, then held out the phone to the mother, saying it was for her in German. When asked no one realized they were doing this.

  67. Even on the risk of being called a Klugscheisser, the eurpean layout with a Flur does have a real function. The shoe swap and jackets storage is actually not their real intended function but instead its planed for function is to seperate the heated parts of your home from the cold rushing in from the front door.
    625
  68. what is always confusing with the word "caucasian" is that this region " the caucasus" is not even european^^ its located between the northeastern border of turkey, near russias south border where armenia, aserbaidjan and Georgia (not to confuse with the US State) are located. :D
    617
  69. Having a drink in public would destabilize society, can't you just play with a gun like all the other normal kids
    599
  70. I like how the guy's video has been taken down :D As you'd say in German, "Lügen haben kurze Beine".
    592
  71. If a cat is inconvenient toward your lifestyle and furniture, don’t get one in the first place.
    590
  72. Feli, wow this is a HUGE jump in your content. This is what we like to see, branch out of Cinci and looking at German/American collaboration/history! I love it!
    586
  73. I like how many bathrooms in Europe have a radiator in that doubles as a towel dryer!
    579
  74. Goth or German: "I wore my body bag to the public viewing last night"
    577
  75. "Ruckedigu, ruckedigu, Blut ist im Schuh, der Schuh ist zu klein, die rechte Braut sitzt noch daheim!", "Ruckedigu, ruckedigu, kein Blut ist im Schuh, der Schuh ist nicht zu klein, die rechte Braut, die führt er heim!"
    576
  76. I'm an American and am watching the German election VERY closely. Thank you so much for all of your videos that help me understand what I'm seeing. Your input is invaluable!!
    572
  77. Wow, what a phenomenal video. For someone who’s “not an expert,” you did a fantastic job summarizing with a boatload of details. 20+minute videos don’t usually keep my attention but I watched this to the end! Thank you for this!
    572
  78. "It's OK to criticize things. Even if you like them or care about them..." I wish more people understood that like you do!
    558
  79. German here... I would say "Der Eisendrache" means the iron dragon instead of ice dragon because Eisen is iron and not ice, but maybe it's something just not used much in the German language, but I highly doubt that 🤷
    548
  80. Some people like to say, "My country, right or wrong." But they forget the rest of that phrase. It goes, "My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right, if wrong, to be set right."
    544
  81. The famous one out of school: Waitor, I become a Schnitzel.
    543
  82. In 1977 there was an American court case, The American Nazi Party vs The Village of Skokie. At Miami University just outside of Cincinnati I took a class that spent the entire semester just studying this one court case. The American Nazi Party wanted a permit to parade through a predominantly Jewish Holocaust survivor neighborhood near Chicago. The US Supreme Court ruled that even the most egregious have the right to free expression. Essentially it is better for them to march in the light of day so we know who they are and the danger they represent instead of allowing them to exist and grow in secret. I think you would find this case interesting. The class was taught by a Jewish professor and as a student of Jewish ancestry I had to defend the Nazis right to free speech in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood.
    542
  83. As someone that is studying German this was so much fun. Ben did great! I really enjoyed this video because it gave me a rare chance to hear German spoken in a conversation instead of just random sentences. Thanks! I'd give two thumbs up if I could!😊
    540
  84. "If you can´t deal with the pet, you shouldn´t get one" yeah... i wish ALOT of people would take that advice...
    539
  85. I do not speak for all Americans but I am glad you are here! You are a ray of sunshine!
    539
  86. This was one of the most out standing videos you have done. I'm 77yr and have known about the White Rose movement for over 50yrs. The people in the video should never be forgotten. Thank you for retelling this story.
    535
  87. Thanks for the shout out Josh! Dein Deutsch ist MEGA krass. Freut uns sehr, dass wir dir beim Deutschlernen helfen konnten! 😃Liebe Grüße aus Berlin! Cari
    533
  88. German dating sounds like how I have always wanted to date, and I've never been to Germany.
    530
  89. I’ve lived in America my whole life and I think it’s strange to use disposable plates in situations other than a picnic or maybe an open house. The thought of using paper plates at a holiday meal is just weird.
    524
  90. Quick remark: this snooty, rich dude is actually Marti's take on the famous singer and Co-Founder of the "Berliner Palast Orchester" Max Raabe. Raabe has a very distinct singing voice and his attire and behaviour on stage mimics that of a singer of the 1920s and 1930s.
    514
  91. It’s amazing at the record of “The Simpsons” in predicting the future. About 30 years ago, they had an episode where Marge leads a group of parents trying to regulate decency for the children. When the art museum brought David in for an exhibit, the parents got upset over a naked statue on display. But, Marge recognized the work of art it was, and said everyone should see it.
    504
  92. Ich bin noch immer beeindruckt von Josh‘s Akzentfreiem deutsch
    496
  93. Just blew my mind because I always knew Volkswagen meant “People’s car” but I never realized Volks is pronounced like Folks which has got to be where the very common American word of “Folks” comes from. Holy crap, it was always there staring me in the face.
    487
  94. Garage fridge is usually just the last iteration of the kitchen fridge. Like we move the old one to the garage
    485
  95. You tell a compelling story with integrity and honesty. Feli, this is you at your best.
    484
  96. Every woman should find a partner who looks at them the way Ben looks at you. Seriously, you two are so sweet together. I hope you get to travel to all the places you want to go. Just be sure to make some content while your there for those of us who can’t currently travel.

  97. I learned about this difference between Germany and the US through my wife. I am German and she is American and she up until we met had ony had boyfriends who were circumcised and her brothers were as well. Her main reasoning was hygiene, which was disproved with a little bit of research. We also had a bit of an argument before our son was born, as for her it was normal to circumcise boys, but logic prevailed as it doesn't make sense to perform surgery when there is no apparent reason or benefit. I don't blame her for her thinking. It's how she grew up and she never questioned it, just like I never questioned many things that were normal to me growing up. Nevertheless I am happy our little dude has his wiener fully intact 😉
    480
  98. It amazes me how many Americans can't seem to understand that the health of the nation is also dependent on the health of the individuals in that country.
    478
  99. YAS! Make a german accent video next XD
    474
  100. I like when she talks with herself wearing flags of the USA and Germany 😅
    466
  101. I'm a Yiddish native learning German rn. I'm gonna say at the beginning I was only able to catch a few words but after 4 months I was able to hold entire conversations in German
    464
  102. I mean pretty much the German “slang” nowadays is literally German and English combined, basically Denglish.
    460
  103. I totally agree with Germany's approach to this. Hiding your head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist is never a good option. I believe that educating people and giving them the knowledge to make their own, informed decisions is the only sensible approach. Unfortunately, we have a very strong religious element in this country that prevents this. It is slowly changing however, and I do believe that eventually the US will be more like Germany (and most of Europe) in this regard.
    457
  104. I love this combo. Non-native speakers speaking foreign languages with native-like fluency.
    454
  105. Madhouse oder Matthäus - Haptsache Italien!
    449
  106. as a native Polish speaker, you nailed the Polish pronunciation of Niemcy ;) congrats! :D
    445
  107. "Ask any German and they will tell you it all changed in 2015" ... "Ask any German on any PEGIDA march or AfD Parteitag and they will tell you their felt truth"
    443
  108. Wow! You did an awful lot of research about these companies. I didn't know half of it. You really deserve the thumb up for that alone.
    438
  109. Haare wachsen lassen und Haare wachsen lassen
    437
  110. Ben seems like a really nice guy and I'm glad you have him not just as your boyfriend but also as someone who works behind the scenes with your photos and editing the videos. It would definitely be fun to have more videos with him like the ones you suggested or maybe something like "who's more likely to" or compare growing up in Germany vs growing up in the US. :)
    427
  111. I had a great time traveling with this group of folks. We had a great time in Germany and it was terrific to experience The food, beer, architecture, the people. A waitress in Cologne was confused on how I wanted to tip her paper cash, and a German who was at the table next to me jumped in and explained to the German waitress that I wanted to compensate her for good service. Only then did she understand. I later learned that you can round off the price of the meal with a price you want to pay, but I wasn’t clear on tipping culture in Germany. I appreciate how Germans who speak English will help out non-English speaking Germans. Really friendly people. I wound up speaking with and connecting with this gentleman. Great experience!
    425
  112. It always makes me kinda sad when people say German is not a pretty language but I like German is an absolutely gorgeous language.
    420
  113. John Harvey Kellogg was a weird guy.
    417
  114. I’ve lived in America my whole life... I don’t know why I find it fascinating to see someone educating people on something I already know. 😂
    417
  115. You know you’re German, when this was your Tv Programm on sundays: 11:30-12:00 Die Sendung mit der Maus 12:00-13:00 Das Sonntagsmärchen. Natürlich die Grimm Version
    411
  116. It's interesting growing up in Southern England no one really sees Germany as Bavaria, most people have visited Germany, but mainly the Rhine area or Berlin. Also it's important to note that the British occupied the North West and Rhine area of Germany. The American's occupied Bavaria so that's pretty much why the US sees Germany as Bavaria. I don't think Britain Does.
    406
  117. I feel that it's important to know that the gap between the two single mattresses in a double bed has a special name: the "Besucherritze" = "visitor's gap". It's where a little child will lie if they crawl into their parents' bed in the night. As such, I have very fond memories associated with the Besucherritze 🥰.
    406
  118. Former maternity nurse in the USA here 👋🏻 have witnessed / assisted in over a thousand circumcisions in Boston area hospitals and I must say, witnessing the procedure and how so many babies cry and are in pain (despite medication and measures to reduce pain)... it’s a horrible practice I have long questioned 😱😱😢 if I ever have children, I will never circumcise them!

  119. Could we just stop for a moment and appreciate that Kerry Washington´s german was actually really, really good? Her pronounciation was very nice, especially the vowles, and speaking german in such a soft voice, with only a slight accent, after just learning it. Chapeau, Kerry Washington, nice.

  120. I'm Austrian, 68 years old and very much into (classical) music. In 1985 we had some young guests from the US, one of them playing the violin. As a "thank you" to our familiy the young lady played "Edelweiss", all the young Americans sung and they wanted us to join their song. But we never had heard it before... Feli, your summary on the topic was excellent. Uli, Graz (Austria)

  123. After I studied German in college, I would pronounce “Schwarzkopf” properly and all my friends would look at me weird like. “Who says it like that?” Ha! Jokes on them 😉 Thanks for the vindication! 🙌🏼

  124. Wie kraaaaass! Als ehemalige Linguistikstudentin bin ich total fasziniert, wie gut und sauber sein Deutsch ist 😱 Und das mit so wenig Erfahrung!
    395
  125. I still remember, when I was 16 or so I was on student exchange in Germany. During the first dinner with the german family the mother asked me: "do you have potatoes in Poland?". At first I thought I understood wrong. But when she additionally pointed on the potatoes on the table I was like "WTF???"
    392
  126. There are more McDonalds in Germany than there are castles in the US.
    390
  127. Ooh a new video I might use in class! I've been using Germany as a good example of how to teach about uncomfortable history. In the US, we tend to try and downplay slavery, the genocide against Native Americans, Japanese internment etc etc. I think Germany does it right! Thanks, Feli!
    387
  128. 18:00 „High taxes“ ... yes, but with those high taxes public e.g. healthcare is paid ... hello Corona :-) .. also if you get unemployed, your rent and food (plus more) is payed. Europe’s Nordic counties e.g. Sweden 🇸🇪 have the highest taxes, and the satisfied citizens ... seems what Americans fear most, makes other people happy :-) At least in Germany there are two countrywide taxes when you pay in stores- not like in USA 1000 different taxes depending in what city you are shopping.
    387
  129. Als jemand, der hier in Deutschland die ganze Sache verfolgt, natürlich auch Kaylas und Rezos Videos gesehen hat und auch sonst sehr viel darüber gelesen und gesehen hat, muss ich wirklich sagen, dass dein Video die beste Zusammenfassung bietet. Wirklich stark! Auch wenn man gute Vorbereitung und Recherche von deinen Videos gewohnt ist, war ich über die Ausführlichkeit mehr als positiv überrascht. Danke für deine Arbeit!
    384
  130. "Läuft bei dir!" wird auch oft ironisch verwendet. Sozusagen: A: Erst hatte mein Fahrrad nen Platten und dann hab ich auch noch den Bus verpasst. B: Läuft bei dir! 😂
    381
  131. I love how your face lights up when he talks so enthusiastically about Germany and how much he enjoyed it. Ben, your German skills are impressive after this short time! Love the videos and the podcast

  132. Container ist ein Wort, was mich immer kurz verwirrt. Im deutschen denkt man an einen großen Müllcontainer vor dem Haus. Und im englischen ist es einfach eine Aufbewahrungsbox (tuppadose XD)
    377
  133. "schieß los" is another expression where the ie ei distinction is really important
    376
  134. To the native German speakers watching this channel, thank you for trying to learn our difficult language. From the lazy American who only speaks English.

  137. When I got pregnant I was posed with this question of whether or not we would circumcise and I researched the topic because I didn't know why we did because just everyone I knew was circumcised and from what I can understand my family had chosen to because we were Christians and in the bible God's people were told to circumcise their boys. So after researching and finding no real reason to do it, I left the decision up to my husband since I don't have a penis, and figured someone who did should have the final say. After fully researching my husband decided it was best to leave any sons we would have intact and let them decide if it was something they wanted to do in the future.
    371
  138. Like the German perspective and hearing them speak in German. Easy on the eyes as well.

  139. There is that perception among Europeans that "everything in America has peanut butter in it." It's just like to Americans, everything in Europe has hazelnuts in it.

  141. I live here in Wichita where Pizza Hut was founded and they have the original building with a museum in it. Oh, by the way the name of the town is pronounced Which-it-ah
    353
  142. I think the best explanation is one I saw on Reddit awhile ago: English is 3 languages in a trench coat beating up other languages for their pronunciations and spelling. It is a complete mess and makes no sense, even for us native speakers.
    352
  143. 28:00 I´m 35 years old, born and raised in germany, and i watched a lot of political news and debate over last few months, but this is the first time ever i actually understood what those "Überhangmandate" are and how the first and second vote actually work. THANK YOU! Now this is absolutely my fault for never really caring TOO much about the details, but you explained it so easy to understand! Danke :)

  147. Since I'm an American living in Germany, I'll give you 10 American habits I lost: 1. Wearing shoes in the house: Germans always slip out of their street shoes and into some house shoes or slippers. In fact, many Germans have "guest slippers" for when somebody comes to visit them, or frequently, polite guests will bring along their own slippers. 2. Driving everywhere: I have actually come to prefer walking places or riding my bike around town, especially since parking in Germany is hard to find. 3. Talking loudly in public: I never realized how loud we Americans tend to be when talking to each other in public. But when you are sitting in an outdoor café in Germany, and a group of American tourists passes by, you can't help but notice how incredibly loud they are in comparison to everybody else. Maybe this is because we are so amazed at how old everything here is compared to the US. 4. Holding open the door for a female: As an American guy, I was taught to treat women with respect and to be chivalrous. Now, I know that times have changed in America, too, but Germans don't do this, and quite a few German women have expressed that they find this behavior patronizing and they resent it. 5. Saying "excuse me" or "I'm sorry": While we Americans aren't quite as polite as the Canadians, we are definitely more polite than the Germans. As you have pointed out in several of your videos, Felicia, Germans are VERY direct and they don't use a lot of the verbal "nicities" that are common in the US. A good German friend of mine once told me off for constantly saying, "Entschuldigung, tut mir Leid!" To which I answered, "Entschuldigung, tut mir Leid!" ;-) 6. Standing in line: Starting in Kindergarten, we Americans learn to politely wait in line until it's our turn. But go to a German bakery or butcher's shop, and you will seek the end of the line in vain! Customers just group up in front of the counter, yet Germans consider it very rude to not wait until it's your turn. So it's up to you to notice who was already there ahead of you, and who came in after you. The salesperson does not do that for you. They usually just ask, "Who's next?" 7. Putting ice cubes in all of my drinks including water. 8. Giving driving distances in units of time: If you ask an American how far it is, say from your hotel to the airport, they will most likely tell you how long a drive it is: "The airport is a 45 minute drive from your hotel, unless you go during rush hour, then it's more like an hour and a half." Germans don't do that. They tell each other how far it is in kilometers. 9. Relaxing by going out for a drive: I used to love just taking my car for a spin out in the country or down a straight stretch of highway with my windows rolled down and some great music on the radio. But I find driving in Germany very stressful. It is a way to get from A to B, but definitely not relaxing! 10. Leaving the lights on all over the house, even when youre out: Germans are much more ecologically-minded than we Americans, who may leave the lights on in a room, not only when they are in another room, but even when they leave the house for a night out. Germans tend to only have the lights on in the room they are in at the moment, and they never leave the lights on when no one is at home!

  152. A former friend of mine is Korean and once another former friend asked her if she could make fortune cookies for her. The response was something like "They seem to exist as Asian everywhere but in Asia."

  153. Das Video war sehr interessant. Als Amerikaner, Ich muss ehrlich sagen, dass ich sehr beeindrueckt bin. Ich mag deine Perspektive auf unserem Land und Kultur. Ich verbrachte drei Jahre in der BRD wahrend der -90er in Bayern (Stadt Memmingen). In 2018, bin Ich wieder zuerueck nach Deutschland gekommen und fur zwei Wochen geblieben. War echt Spass! Ich kann es kaum warten, mehr von deinen Abenteuern zu sehen. Ich entschuldige mich mein Deutsch. Ich bekomme nicht sehr oft die Gelegenheit, es zu benutzen.
    335
  154. So, the question is: Do you want to get your info about Germany from a native German, or someone who reads information from an unknown source? I think I'll trust the native German. Besides, she has a great smile!! Thank you for the video!!
    333
  155. Yes, make a video about German beers. My dad used to work for Siemens until they laid him off during the Great Recession.

  157. I'm from Bavaria, Germany, and today is 17Feb2025. I have already cast my vote by letter (which every German citizen can do even if they don't live abroad), and as I know that there are many German viewers here, I won't tell whom I voted for to not influence their decision. I just want to say that this was the most concise video about the German parties and their programs I ever watched. Of course Feli, as a German herself, must have known a lot about it already, but putting that into a presentation that went for an hour, that's a lot of effort. I watched the video with much attention and couldn't detect any flaw worth mentioning.
    329
  158. still my greatest and confusing German memory was attending the closing of a night at the Spring Festival in Munich, in one of the halls. The atmosphere was unlike anything I had ever experienced before, beer was flying, people were dancing on table tops and then they started playing Robbie Williams Angels, and the place just erupted in singing. Until this I had no idea why that song, but that memory still is the greatest travel memory ever.
    328
  159. I think the root of "Felicia" is "Feliz" which is "happiness." Your smile can light the darkest day.
    327
  160. I can totally get what you’re feeling. Hollywood does this with chinese all the time. The problem of Chinese is also the many regional languages which sounded completely different from one another and even have slightly different grammar. So in one movie, two Chinese actors spoke to each other in two different regional languages (one in north, now commonly spoken and one from the south) and claimed to be from the same village. That was blasphemy!

  161. Zur Info... „Illegale Einreise“ ist ebenfalls eine Straftat, die in die Zahlen mit einfließen... also kein wunder dass die im Jahr 2015 gestiegen sind, als mehr Flüchtlinge gekommen sind.. aber das hat nichts mit der Sicherheit im allgemeinen hier zutun.. sowas kann doch nur von einem AFDler kommen ... völliger blödsinn

  164. I think I can speak on from a rather unique perspective. My grandfather was an ice cream manufacturer in Meridian, Mississippi, in the 1920s-1960s, so when my family would go to visit I established a solid understanding for what good, non-mass-produced, American ice cream tasted like, All in the interests of science, of course.. Then, immediately after I raided his inventory for the last time at age 10, my family moved to Germany for three years, the first two at Erding and Freising, right near Feli's hometown. So at a fairly early age, I had a good basis for comparison. In the 1960s, I would say that German Eis had less variety of flavors than American (more to come on that in a moment), it was served softer, and the texture was a little lighter. I know now, but didn't then, that that was a function of a lower fat content. A cousin found a paper with my grandfather's base recipe, and the math works out to about 12% or so, which is at the low end the the modern range of Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry's. But German Eis was WAY more like American ice cream of the time than either one was like gelato. So I suspect that what's happened over the last 50-60 years is that German Eis has evolved toward gelato, while American ice cream has stayed more or less as it was. Which is better? Someone else got it right, I think: you usually prefer what you're used to. I like gelato fine--I like French glace better because I find it creamier. But good American ice cream has an emotional resonance for people who grew up on it. As to the modern variety of weird flavors: I personally prefer the classics, but even then on the small scale of his production my grandfather would have had 15 or so on offer at the soda fountain counter at any given time.

  166. Dear German Girl in America, this episode shows the direction to which YouTube videos should go in general. Well researched, references to the facts you state in the video, objective views on things. And paired to that, good phrasing, a pretty and friendly face and a pinch of humor. Thank you very much, you have a new subscriber and I'll watch your older videos too. If I was German, and I'd gave importance to such things, I would be proud to count you to one of our own. But Judging by your amazing American English skills, you will not go back to Germany anyway! :o) Keep up the good work! :) oh, btw.. I agree more with you than with briggs! ;)

  171. My challenge idea for Ben is to record a video teaching us a recipe in German! Could be something simple like Spätzle or a Smoothie.
    316
  172. Felicia, I am a 68 year-old American man who was born in the southern USA and raised in the Midwest. I have no direct German ancestry but have heard and used the word "Gesundheit" my entire life every time someone sneezes. It is as American to me as apple pie.
    315
  173. My wife introduced me to the “ cablesalad “ which I like more than any American description of the bundle of wires under ones desk/behind your computer.

  176. I always thought that using two mattresses instead of one large one was a matter of practicality. I've lived in houses here where it was difficult to move a large mattress, especially up stairs and around corners. If homes in Germany tend to be smaller I could see that being a larger problem there.
    301
  177. Another election with potential earth-shaking consequences. Man, am I getting sick of living through unprecedented times. Thanks as always, Feli, for putting in the work to explain!
    297
  178. As a native English speaker, I absolutely loved seeing all these examples of how odd English actually is. Very well done.
    295
  179. Another Easter egg is the Barbapapa. Who else knows the “Barbapapa Family,” an animated series about shape-shifting creatures from the 70s? "Ra-Ru-Rik...Barbatrick"😂
    293
  180. Das hier ist detaillierter und strukturierter als jede deutsche Zusammenfassung. Danke, Feli.
    292
  181. I think it's a little supercilious of some Americans to just reproachfully assume Germans don't know/learn enough or anything about the Holocaust and WWII, at times seemingly almost wanting to teach them in an overly didactic way, while actually the extreme opposite is true. I wonder where such a hubristic stance comes from. Germans learn tons about all these topics throughout school, with a justified emphasis on the dark parts of history as a cautionary tale that can't be allowed to ever happen again, and quite probably know more about the Holocaust and Hitler's rise to power than the average American. It's not about guilt though, it's all about responsibility! I do believe a nation that manages to critically reflect on its own past is something to be proud of. In this context, I also wonder if all US students compulsory learn in detail about the dark patches of their own country's history, for example the Trail of Tears or slavery, and to what extent.
    291
  182. I think the german word "Libelle" sounds much better than "dragon-fly".
    290
  183. When I had my first son, my husband and I decided to go to Germany for his first Christmas and first birthday. It was so wonderful and family oriented! I loved the Christmas markets and the traditions. When my husband was dying, I promised him to continue the German traditions, so my sons have always had an Advent calendar, an Advent wreath, St. Nicholas Tag, Stollen, Lebkuchen, and so on. I play German Christmas songs while we open our gifts, and have goose for our meal. On Christmas day we go to church. How I love the German traditions!
    288
  184. Ich bin deutscher...ich weiß garnicht warum ich mir das angeguckt habe. Aber ich muss sagen, das war eine sehr ausführliche Abhandlung und da hat nichts gefehlt. Respekt.

  187. The German focus is what originally drew me to your videos. But your humor and personality have kept me coming back for more. I enjoyed 'meeting' your brother and now Ben. I'd love to know how your parents reacted to meeting Ben and if Ben found differences between German parents and American parents.
    283
  188. You have inspired me to visit Germany when this pandemic over.
    282
  189. I spent a bit of time in Germany, and one thing I noticed immediately that I missed as soon as I went back to the U.S. was the lack of power-lines. In the U.S., power-lines are EVERYWHERE. It’s how most of the electrical power is transmitted here. In a large percentage of Europe, the power is transmitted underground. Not only in this more reliable (and less likely to be affected by weather and other influences), but it also looks A LOT nicer!
    279
  190. I love traveling to Europe, because I actually lose weight (walking and healthier food) while on vacation. Not in USA
    278
  191. It is surprising and amusing to find such a well-matched pair of people: smart, articulate, socially relaxed, observant, fair. You can do as many paired videos as you want. They'll be good.
    277
  192. As a teacher in germany I must tell you ... you are great. Our school system couldn't be better explained in 20 minutes. Perfect focus on the main points. And even the weird importance of religious education (as a philosophy teacher I might be a bit biased)
    276
  193. As an Italian, I was so sure Nivea and Miele were Italian! Nivea just... Sounds Italian to me, while "Miele" is an actual word in Italian and it means "honey" 😂
    272
  194. Feli, you truly are among the best of us. So proud of you.🎉
    269
  195. It is also interesting that the Texas Germans rejected slavery. This made things difficult for them in the American Civil War. Since they themselves were looking for freedom in the 1830-40's in the USA and they said no one should be a slave. Many Texas Germans suffered at the time because of this. There was a documentary about it on German TV.
    265
  196. As an actor, I totally appreciate these tips Felicia! If I ever have to play a German character in a production, I will totally have to put these tips to good use!
    263
  197. “Hertz” in German is not only pronounced like the word for heart, but also like the unit for frequency (Hz), which was named after a German after all. ;)
    261
  198. Feli I lived in Germany, mostly in Trier, 13 years. My ex wife is German, from Trier, and my two daughters and granddaughter live there. When my oldest came over to live for a while, she was in High School. She was very worried that Americans would treat her differently because she's German. She was worried that she would be called a Nazi because...German. I assured her that no that isn't the case. And it wasn't. She loved living here. Wichita, KS at the time. We live by the Space Center on the east coast of FL. HItlers performance art when he spoke publicly versus his private voice is dramtically different. But that's what he did, perform for the masses in his speeches. I love the language. I'm so happy I'm fluent.
    260
  199. A day like this may be frustrating for Ben, but if you do it regularly, it‘s the best way for him to learn. I used to speak English with my wife from Nordfriesland on the weekends, and we spoke Plattdüütsch on Tuesdays. (Yeah, a guy from Ohio can learn Platt, is doch keen Hexenwaark.) I only ever spoke English with my kids who were growing up in Germany. Keep it going and hang in there, Ben, you‘ll be fluent in bairisch before you know it, gell?
    258
  200. Only 8 minutes in but I can tell Felicia put a lotta work into this video and the quality seems to be getting better every week which is awesome.
    256
  201. OK, so as a German the mind-blowing thing about this video is actually the information about Peter Lustig and Elfie Donnelly!
    254
  202. Das mit den Sprichwörter wäre lustig. Ich sag nur "da wird der Hund in der Pfanne verrückt" 😄
    253
  203. Selten so einen gut angezogenen Amerikaner auf der Wies'n gesehen 😉 Well done Feli 👍
    252
  204. One of my favorite memories about that Inglorious Basterds scene was seeing it in the theater in Germany while I was on exchange in High School. Everyone in the theater gasped the instant that his hand was raised with the wrong "3" I had previously seen the movie in the US a few weeks before and knew it was coming, but I like your description of the dubbing of English speaking media that really is spot on.
    250
  205. Yes German beer pronunciations would be awesome. German - American here!!
    249
  206. Here in America we have an understanding: Dogs have owners, cats have 'staff'.

  207. Finally, you are back since rebranding! So happy to see your face again! Here’s to many more years of Feli From Germany: In America!
    246
  208. Interesting topic. I, German, remember an American friend being very impressed with how I ate a kiwi a couple of years ago. I cut in half and scooped each half with a spoon. He had never seen it being eaten like that before. For me it was just the most efficient way and I think pretty common in Germany. 😂
    245
  209. I think Ben did fantastic! Kept up his humor and spirits despite the self doubts early on. Big props to him for getting through it and loads of support as he continues to learn!
    238
  210. I just watched "Dinner for one", later we will eat Raclette. Same procedure as every year. 😂😂😂🎉
    237
  211. About 7 months ago you explained the energy crisis in Germany. I wrote a reaction to express my admiration, because it was like a whole team of specialists had been working for weeks on the subject, but in fact it was just you. Well, Feli, this time with Rammstein, you surpassed yourself. I have seen several professional reviews on this item, but you beat them all. All aspects are mentioned, deep and clear and objective, with the right feelings for the victims. I know it took a lot of hard work, but after that, to make it a presentation like this, proves you've got a world class talent. Thank you so much.
    237
  212. I personally think the two single bed idea is brilliant! My husband gets up a lot through the night and wakes me up numerous times!
    236
  213. When I lived in Bavaria I was asked on several occasions; Why do American Lie? At first I was insulted but then I realized that we do every day. We think we are being polite but to a Bavarian we are being unreliable. Interesting cultural difference.
    234
  214. Dieser Moment, wenn man als Deutscher die englischen Untertitel lesen muss, um Rahmschwammerl zu verstehen. Immer diese Dialekte...😂

  217. As a Chicagoan I'd like to thank you so much for portraying my city in a positive light. Every large city has it's faults and ours are too often put on full view without regard to our other facets. Your video is truly appreciated.
    233
  218. In the 18th century there was a series of British Kings from Hanover. They couldn't speak English at all and some of them never lived in England because it was more important that the monarch be a Protestant than that the Monarch of England be, you know, English. LOL! Great video, as always, Feli! Happy Easter to you and Ben!
    233
  219. Lawrence Brown of Lost in the Pond got his U.S. citizenship two years ago. Now Feli has it!! Congratulations, and welcome to the U.S.A., as a citizen!!!
    233
  220. Einmal habe ich eine Deutsch Professorin von mir gefragt "Was bedeutet Schadenfreude?" Auf Englisch sagte sie mir "One mans DELIGHT over another Mans PLIGHT!"!
    232
  221. Your English is basically flawless. You sound like an American, and probably have a better vocabulary than some of us. Also, Munich is gorgeous. Thanks for the virtual tour.
    232
  222. In accounting: I received a message from a German supplier "your VAT ID is not guilty". (From the context it was obvious, that the author had "gültig"/valid in mind).Replied: "This is absolutely true, out VAT ID is innocent, but had to be changed".

  223. girl, as a native speaker always cracking up about my elderly mother's super strong german accent while attempting to speak english, I have to say, you were spot on with all your observations. well done!!!!
    226
  224. Nice to see some people on here still try to be the voice of reason and use actual facts and are willing to correct their mistakes. Too bad there is no better way to punish misinformation in a click bait shell. Keep up the good work even if the trash attracts more views right now :)
    225
  225. As a foreign exchange student in a Missouri high school, I'm shocked and appalled by the number of pregnant 16-17-18 girls I see here. Kids make a big deal around them and they get a lot of positive attention and post pictures of their baby all dressed up on Insta. Like it's trendy and they seem to think it gives young women an interesting life story or something...just weird. I've never seen or heard about a pregnant teenage girl back home. It's extremely rare.
    225
  226. the german word for roadrage is "normaler Zustand"
    224
  227. "Dating in America has too many rules" Agree 1000% Some of my best friends in college were women and I honestly hate the attitude that guys and girls can't just be friends
    223
  228. I visited Berlin a few years ago and what impressed me was the public transportation....trams, U-bahn, S-bahn and buses all at reasonable cost.
    222
  229. The USA needs to start this tradition, kids would love it🎉🎉🎉🎉
    222
  230. Feli: When I saw your first few videos, I suspected that you had media training. Eventually I found out that was true and it's obvious here. With this video, you've really raised the bar. Very professional. Great job.
    221
  231. Also wunderbar. Wonderful. In Covington there is a Bar called Wunderbar. Which is a neat play on words. Thanks for the fun video.
    220
  232. I’ve noticed my German study abroad friends often say “that was a funny night” instead of “fun night”. This is itself kind of funny because these are two completely different words in English
    220
  233. As a German learner and a Texan, I found their dialect fairly easy to understand, because my attempts to pronounce German often sound like the way they pronounce it.
    220
  234. I don’t even study German or have any roots there, but I stumbled across this channel and find all these videos just so interesting, as I do enjoy foreign language study. Almost makes me want to learn it.
    218
  235. As a Brit, I get just as annoyed when people claim the UK isn't a democracy just because it's a monarchy. The UK is a constitutional monarchy which is a form of democratic government. But people from countries under a republican system just can't seem to wrap their head around this for some reason
    218
  236. I love that if they wouldn't be talking about it and if the subtitles wouldn't stop/start appearing I would not notice that they just switched languages bc I understand both haha
    217
  237. a German here... thanks for bringing up the Einwohnermeldeamt... you just reminded me that I have to go there to register because I moved a month ago and totally forgot about it^^
    217
  238. Das erklärt endlich mal die Szenen in amerikanischen Liebesfilmen, die ich immer so seltsam fand: Ein Paar lernt sich kennen, geht aus, flirtet, landet im Bett und nach der Nacht sagt einer der beiden: "Ich glaube, ich habe mich in dich verliebt." Und das Gegenüber ist total geschockt und der andere entschuldigt sich. 🤣
    215
  239. As a native English speaker, I never knew about the term "Dark L" or "Light L", even though I've used them correctly my whole life.
    215
  240. these videos are making me so excited to travel around Germany this summer 🤩🤩🤩
    213
  241. At 7:29 you say, that the translation of "Der Eisendrache" would be "the ice dragon". That would be "Der Eisdrache", though. Eisendrache means iron dragon.
    213
  242. Weird scentece in german which actually makes sense: Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach
    211
  243. Josh's Deutsch ist wirklich der Wahnsinn.. deutlich besser als das jedes dritten deutschen Muttersprachlers würde ich behaupten, besonders in der heutigen Zeit.
    211
  244. Mark Twain's eassay "The awfull German language" ist übrigens wirklich sehr lustig und nicht 100% ernst gemeint. Gibt es umsonst im Internet.
    209
  245. Hi Felicity - just a thank you for this video :) you saved the day for my family. We have a German exchange student in our home for this year. Today was the first Sunday of Advent and my German Daughter kept asking me about the Advent Candle and when we were going to light it etc..This is only something that we do in church so i was "in the dark" about how to make it special for her. Your video helped me and I collected four candles and asked her to help us make one! It came out beautiful with holly and pinecones and we lit it together tonight as a family :) Your channel has be so important for me (and now I will be ready for December 6th!) - lots of love and Merry Christmas!
    209
  246. You two are happy! Take joy in each other's company. Nothing else matters.........
    208
  247. ;D harte Winter? ich möchte meinen, dass es schlimmeres gibt als bei 12 Grad Celsius im Dezember durch die Stadt zu gehen. Ich meine Die USA haben ja nun Flächenmäßig wesentlich mehr Klimazonen abgedeckt, ich wette es gibt da einige Staaten, die es schlimmer trifft ;) Mir kommt es so vor, als hätte er krampfhaft nach Gründen gesucht nicht nach Deutschland ziehen zu müssen XD Aber hey, er kann natürlich jederzeit her kommen, immerhin haben wir ja eine OPEN DOOR Politik :D
    208
  248. He's the German "Oscar the Grouch." 😂
    208
  249. Hey ihr zwei! Jaaa, unbedingt! Macht sehr gerne was über Redewendungen! Da lerne ich gerne auch noch dazu. Ist meines Erachtens der schwierigste Teil an einer Fremdsprache! Übrigens: Tolles Video!
    207
  250. Ok, so I have a challenge idea. It's simple but genius at the same time because it can be both a reward or a punishment depending on how Ben does. Cook a meal together. Give Ben a recipe in english and he then has to translate it and tell you the cooking instructions in german. Or you give Ben the instructions in german and he has to do the cooking. Either way, Ben gets to eat the finished product. If his lessons were succesfull, there should be no communication issues and the meal will turn out fine. If his lessons weren't succesfull then the meal will probably not turn out allright and then you can make Ben eat up his failure.
    205
  251. So, the Babel Fish from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy actually exists now.
    204
  252. Why hasn’t anyone commented on the fact that the one speaking the Spanish portion sounds more Italian than the Italian guy? Spanish does not have that syntax/intonation lol 😂 (part 1)
    204
  253. Ben mentioned his love of McDonald's breakfast. Once you're in Germany, he should do a running segment where he reviews not only McDonalds in Munich but all American fast food places there. He could also review fast food restaurants that are native to Germany.
    204
  254. I always find it interesting that there is no ground floor in the US. First is just the lowest. lol Dual wheels are allowed here. A lot of bigger vans have. You need it for high load capacities, like in DHL cars. But it’s allowed. :) Oh, und es fehlt der Link zum Sponsor. ;)
    200
  255. I'm sure there's a lot of comments like this on her videos, but Felicia is extremely beautiful.
    200
  256. Super gemacht. Respekt - und das in der momentanen Lage. Danke für die Erinnerung an Margot Friedländer. LG vom „Lake STA“
    200
  257. There's a difference between German and English. Usually when someone says we have an announcement, the next thing is either we are pregnant or we are getting married. Train stations are interesting too.
    199
  258. I have spoken English since I learned how to talk I can't spell necessary right half the time
    199
  259. Ich finde dein Englisch ist sehr angenehm zu verstehen wenn man Englisch lernt
    197
  260. I've always loved German. In fact, growing up in Houston, while most everyone else was taking Spanish and French, I took German in junior high, high school, and college. (Alas, I've forgotten most, not having used it in many years.) I love the culture, the countryside, the food, the classical music, and the language.
    196
  261. I'm a secular Jew who's been learning Yiddish for the last few years and I just wanted to thank you for making this video and bringing more attention to the wonderful language.
    196
  262. I just want to say that you 2 are inspiring. Open minds, free assessments, and a bond, between yourselves that feels genuine. Rare! Exciting! Sheesh! Enjoy!
    196
  263. When you grow up in the southwest of Germany around Mannheim and Heidelberg, you won't have much problems understanding most of this dialect, it's more or less very old Kurpfälzisch, the dialect of this region, pronounced and mixed with English. Quite sure Feli could understand much more if she could read the words, the English pronunciation of the German words/dialect is very confusing for a German.
    195
  264. Wenn man sich als Deutscher ein englisches Video über die Bedeutung von Servus ansieht, dann ist das Video auch gut gemacht... Du bist die Beste!
    194
  265. In January I took an opioid after a hip surgery. It was planned for the 6 days post surgery in the hospital but I only took it for four days. It's well known that this opioid can cause addiction problems after two weeks, so here (in Germany) it's generally not given to patients for more than a week Palliative care may be different, but that's another story. If somebody dies from cancer, it doesn't matter if they develop an opioid addiction.
    194
  266. Stoßlüften <3 I would go nuts not being able to open the windows wide open. lol
    192
  267. “I’m a jelly donut” needs to be a T-shirt
    191
  268. This episode makes me want to rush to the airport and fly to Germany just to get some authentic cookies and sweets! Yum! Could you consider making some how-to or light-hearted instructional videos on how to bake German treats? Especially around the holidays, like Christmas cookies and things like that? I can practically smell the memories of Christmas Fairs in Germany! OMG, YUM!
    191
  269. find ich gut, dass du jetzt auch mehr in die politische richtung gehst! Danke für deine wichtige Arbeit <3
    189
  270. Nice video, Feli! As a German (not from Bavaria), watching your videos often gives me the feeling that I am learning as much about Bavaria as I am about the US.
    188
  271. So, I'm an American woman who used to pride herself on reading the "original" Grimm versions*, but damned girl, you have totally educatated me in a way that only a German born woman could have. Thank you, this is so excellent! *The versions I read were dark, but you have given them so much more meaning.
    187
  272. The courage isn't driving the Autobahn....it's being on video! Congrats boyfriend! Good job!
    185
  273. I lived in Bavaria for four years. German was my major in college. After four years I still had trouble understanding them. A German from north Germany told me "we can't understand them either".
    185
  274. It would be interesting to have a video about the (dying) German dialect from Texas, as Texas was a stronghold for German emigration, especially down in San Antonio area. I read an NPR article few years ago, and talked to colleagues from German descendants that lived in Texas, and hear how German was part of their daily lives was heartwarming.
    185
  275. The last word Sarah Chalke says is just „Conan“ (his name), I guess
    184
  276. As someone who was born and raised in Lancaster County this really hit home. My grandfather spoke Pennsylvania Dutch pretty frequently in his house and when he met other Deitsch speakers. This was a welcome reminder of a man who had a great influence in my life. Thank you!
    184
  277. This makes me a little happier with ours (Switzerland). Its basically like the german one, except the kids only need to decide at age 14, we have no religion classes that are compulsory. i would have never had a chance in the us (coming from a broken home) - here i could go to school like everybody else. Went to university, did my masters and am now a Gymnasium Teacher.
    184
  278. Hey Felicia ^-^ Du bist endlich mal ein YouTuber für den man sich nicht als Deutscher schämen muss :) Mach so weiter, ich mag deinen Content
    184
  279. Handy can also mean someone who is good at fixing or repairing as in the term Handyman.
    183
  280. so happy for both of you! you both are very attractive, especially when you look at one another, your faces light up even more! thanks for sharing! looking forward to more content with both of you! 💗💗
    183
  281. "Und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind dann leben sie noch heute." My grandpa always used to read the grimm storys to me... miss those times.
    182
  282. It’s always Oktoberfest in my house.
    181
  283. Of course it’s not strange that country and city names differ in different languages. But I was curious why Germany seemed to have a wider range of variations than other countries, so I appreciate the history & etymology lesson. As to why this might be a more common query among Americans; I’d suppose that American city and state names post-colonization are relatively new compared to most parts of the world, and other languages tend to pronounce them very similar to the American pronunciation, or as a direct translation such as Nuevo York or Etats Unis and Estados Unidos. Now if the Netherlands continued to call New York “New Amsterdam,” that could change things up.
    181
  284. “Mind your own business, in a positive way.” That is a truly brilliant way to put it!!!
    181
  285. The funniest thing I've ever heard from my German girlfriend is the whole eye contact thing when saying "cheers" or "prost." I don't believe the whole "bad sex" rationale/superstition, but I get the respect aspect of looking people in the eyes. When out with friends I noticed that none of us looked at each other while saying "cheers." I think it has to do with trying to avoid spilling.
    180
  286. "There's that word again: Heavy. Why are things so heavy in Germany? Is there a problem with your gravitational pull?"
    179
  287. Kaiserschmarrn, Manner and Almdudler: Josh can be an honorary Austrian 🇦🇹 😂
    179
  288. I'm a Brit living in France, no idea why I watch these but I enjoy them so keep it up!
    176
  289. Who else is learning German and pauses constantly to try to read everything? Love seeing Munich, Feli!
    176
  290. I've been asked if in Spain we had cars or bread toasters and they also thought that Spain was in Mexico and were surprised when I said it was Europe😅
    175
  291. Schlimmer ist noch: ich bin größer ALS WIE du
    175
  292.  V. V  Would be helpful if you could provide the data that supports your fake news claims.
    174
  293. This is amazing and I honestly can’t imagine the amount of effort you’ve put into it. Your content is absolutely amazing and I’m so glad I’ve subscribed!!
    174
  294. Hi Feli, You visited my childhood neighborhood in "Lincoln Square". I'm first generation German American & until the age of 4 I didn't speak English. When I was a child that neighborhood was just like living in Germany. I've been to DANK Haus for many Schlachtfest. And it was nice to see The Phenix Band members, years ago they played at my wedding. Johnny is a friend of my brother. Though most of us old timers have moved away, we still come back to celebrate during special times of the year! Hope you enjoyed our small German town tucked away in the big city 😊
    174
  295. The German word for "koozie" is "Neoprendosenkühler". Thank me later.
    174
  296. German Windows and American fridge
    174
  297. i’d add “Colonel” to the mix lmao
    172
  298. I grew up with a mix of the grimm and disney versions. Like not that cruel but close to the original....
    172
  299. Yes, I think we all want to see part 3. I'd also like to hear how the government is structured in Germany compared to USA.
    172
  300. Fun fact: The producers of Dark are working on their next Netflix series right now called "1899". It's gonna be ghost ship-esque horror/thriller on the Atlantic ocean, there's only a teaser out so far, though..
    172
  301. "die in hell" hat mich wunderbar zum lachen gebracht. Manchmal kann es so einfach sein. :) Sehr schönes Video
    171
  302. Home office can oftentimes be used to refer to your company's HQ, especially if there are many offices in different cities, the home office is where they are based.
    171
  303. Yes. Please make the beer video. I'm British and one of my pet peeves is getting my German pronunciation corrected by bar staff, who are in fact saying it wrong.
    169
  304. You make me want to learn German more than ever; thank you, Feli. Also, thank you, Ben, for going along with this experiment. We all appreciate it.
    168
  305. I'm a fellow Cincinnatian. The opioid crise here, and in all of the US (but, it seems, especially hurtful in the Great Lakes States and nearby places like Kentucky) is out of control. I applaud you for having the courage to post this video. If it even saves one life (and I'm sure it's impact will be much more), think of your wonderful contribution to the health of our lovely metro, (and the broader US). Think of that one life - or many more - which you've saved by your courageous video - directly or through interventions encouraged by your video. I'm honored to call you a true Cincinnatian. This must have been difficult. Very well done, Feli. With love: Sehr gut gemacht.
    168
  306. Well for the baseball cap, the more popular abbreviation would be " ball cap" instead of "base cap" in America.
    167
  307. So much sympathy to Magdeburg...
    166
  308. Josh, congrats on your flawless German. So few Americans really master foreign languages these days. You give me and other instructors of German hope.
    166
  309. You should do a similar video in Munich one day. 200k special in - lets say - December-ish 😉
    166
  310. I could listen to y’all speak all day.
    164
  311. That's the most immersive piece I've ever seen on Oktoberfest in München. It gave me more feel for it than anything I've seen before. Good narration, interview, and editing.
    163
  312. I found Germans are alot like the Scottish. It's hard to initially make friends and get on the "inside", but when you do...you're treated like family.
    162
  313. I’m an ESL teacher for adults and am always interested in what people find difficult when learning AmericanEnglish. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
    162
  314. I’ve been pronouncing Adidas correctly for years! Kids make fun of me. I feel vindicated!! 😂
    162
  315. As someone from Basel, i am so hapoy you did this. I have a feeling swiss german gets ignored so often, even from germans and austrians. Might also be good to add that swiss german is also different in how you spell the words, not just pronunciation. And depending on where you come from, how you pronounce and spell the words is also very different. To clear some things up. 1. Yes, Gipfeli is baiscally a croissant, but there are many different types. 2. Yes, we do eat zopf in slices, often for breakfast, often on sundays. 3. "Büüsi" is just common slang, we also say "Chatz" and "Chätzli".
    162
  316. Confirmed that Felicia actually has a clone.
    162
  317. I love that the person who made the English version of it didn't translate word for word! That's how true translation for songs and poems should be! The goal is to keep the rhythm/rhyme and general meaning/feeling but the exact phrasing can be flexible to make it all work! So glad she took that liberty to make it really work! Also yesssss I want to hear you do the rap and see you do the dance!!!
    161
  318. A couple tips that I give my students: 1. Even though it is hard, do not skip learning noun genders. At some point everything else is going to focus on that. You have to know genders once you start applying cases, and then you have to know genders really well once you learn adjective endings. 2. In the same spirit as my first tip, learn the endings that are commonly one gender or another. For example, -er is commonly masculine, -e is commonly feminine (I tell my kids, "if it ends with -e, its probably 'die'"), -ung is always feminine, -heit/-keit are always feminine, -chen is always neuter. There are others, but these are common ones that you encounter early. 3. There are no helping verbs in the present tense. Even though we say "I am playing" in English, you just say "ich spiele" in German (not "ich bin spiele" or something). 4. Word order is important. In a statement, you have subject+verb (du singst=you are singing), but questions are verb+subject (singst du?= Are you singing?) Also, if you have two verbs in one clause, the second one is at the end, not right after the first one (ich MUSS nach Hause GEHEN= I MUST GO home) 5. Be able to understand how nouns function in a sentence. For example, you have to know how a subject, direct object, and indirect object differ (ich gebe dem Kind einen Hund "I give the kid a dog" is very different from "ich gebe dem Hund ein Kind" "i give the dog the child"--notice the endings on the words "the" and "a")
    161
  319. Ben is an underrated addition to the channel; I enjoy him very much
    161
  320. Feli, wie hältst du das nur aus? Einige verstehen dich nicht richtig, einige wollen dich nicht verstehen, andere wiederum sind einfach respektlos. Du verdienst meinen größten Respekt, dich dem immer wieder freiwillig auszusetzen. Übrigens...was ich neben den Inhalten deiner Videos, deinen Informationen und persönlichen Ansichten, besonders mag, ist die immer gleiche, nicht aufgeregte und leise Musik. Man weiß eigentlich immer sofort in wessen Video man gerade ist. Hoher Wiedererkennungswert. Danke für deine Videos.
    158
  321. Miss congeniallity is Agent Catwalk in Denmark🤣
    158
  322. You have a gift for telling German history. This is one of your best videos yet. So relevant. Keep it up!
    157
  323. Nothing like a German Girl in America video to remind me to do my daily German lesson. Tschüss!
    156
  324. First day of school Feli: AWWWWWW, cuteness overload. That's a really cool tradition too. 🙂
    156
  325. Still great what YouTube is doing by sending a physical award to their content creators. It's the only platform doing this.
    156
  326. One new german word will be "Geisterspiel" Ghost Game without audience during the fresh start of the german soccer league "Bundesliga"
    155
  327. Then there's Häagen-Dazs ice cream, assumed by many to be from Europe, but was in fact invented in New York in 1960.
    155
  328. There's that word again, heavy. Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull?
    155
  329. For the curious: everything Felicia said applies also for Italy. The only exception is that the gas kitchen stoves are standard here.
    155
  330. As someone who lives right in its backyard, I would love to see your take on Texas German. That would be best if you included the history of Germans in Texas.
    155
  331. i’m italian and i’m studying both english and german, this channel is so useful Feli thank you🙏
    154
  332. Meine 3 jährige Tochter bekommt von mir natürlich die Originale vorgelesen. Und was gibt es tolleres als unverhofft von seiner Tochter beim Spielen ein leises "Rugedigu, Rugedigu, Blut ist im Schuh." im Haus zu hören? :-) Danke Feli - die gute-Nacht-Geschichten für die nächsten Tage sind gesichert. ;-)
    152
  333. I didn’t know Aldi and Haribo are German brands. Now that I know how to pronounce these words correctly, I’ll probably still pronounce them in the incorrect American way out of bad habit.
    152
  334. wenn ein Amerikaner das akzentfreiere Deutsch spricht als wir Schweizer😂
    150
  335. The flags were a really good idea. Great video.
    150
  336. German doesn't sound angry to me. The more I learn German, the more I fall in love with it. Thanks a lot for nice video😊
    149
  337. Loved it german with subtitles. Loved the observations and opinions.
    148
  338. One bad thing about door handles - unless you lock the door all the time, cats easily figure out how to open it.
    147
  339. Yes, please to the umlaut pronunciation. I actually took a year of German in high school and remember most of the pronunciation rules but those dang umlauts drive me crazy.
    145
  340. I eat Spaghettieis on a regular basis. 😆 An important ingredient you forgot to mention is the whipped cream below the "noodles". 😀😋
    145
  341. I was amazed by this video: the young lady really knows her stuff! This was a college-level discussion and very well done.
    145
  342. Josh, mach doch einen eigenen Kanal auf, du bist super sympathisch :)
    145
  343. You have a beautiful smile that always makes me smile too.
    143
  344. Ich bin grade dabei mein Englisch aufzubessern und hab sehr damit gestruggelt rauszufinden, wo ich mich genau verbessern muss. Das Video hat mir unfassbar dabei geholfen meine sprachlichen Problemzonen einzukreisen. Abgefahren hahaha
    143
  345. I would never declaw a cat, they need them for protection. All my cats have always been indoor outdoor cats
    142

  347. Back in 1987 after my slide show about Bavaria at a Rotary meeting I was asked: „Do you have lions in Germany?“ To be sure, lions at the zoo were not meant. In El Paso we were asked where we came from. I tried „Germany“ and „Munich“. I added „Oktoberfest“, „Olympiad 1972“. No success, Finally we found out that the inquirer in fact knew one town in Germany. A neighbor of him was once stationed in Hanau. In Houston in a travel agency (!) I experienced a similar ignorance concerning Germany and Munich. Fortunately there was a picture on the wall of the castle in Neuschwanstein. I told them I was coming from there. I guess they believed me to live right in this castle.
    142
  348.  Matthew Clark  in germany as long as if you aren't in a bigger city, you could even leave your car open over night and nothing would happen actually, so that picture of mass crimes you are drawing seems to me as ridiculous as if you would say cannibalism is common in germany
    141
  349. As a Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel) once told me: „When you do one low flying exercise in Germany, 200 people will call the police and at least 50 people will sue over the noise. In the US you don’t have those problems because there are so many open areas without anyone living there.“
    140
  350. Not to forget 5.5% "Grunderwerbssteuer" (tax on the price of houses/real estate) and 1.5% "Notargebühren/Grundbuchamt" (public notary and deed documentation) which make buying and selling real estate in Germany more expensive and less likely to occur often. Houses in Germany are long-term, often life-long decisions. Houses in US are re-sold more frequently and easily. Also note that in New York approx 67% of homes are rented, too, for example. The higher the absolute prices, the higher the renter ratio. The high quality level and very high energy-saving levels enforced by law make building houses in Germany very expensive. When inheriting, you are required to upgrade to certain energy-saving levels, which is quite expensive. Many heirs sell instead of keep, also inheritance tax is bitter in Germany.

  351. as a brazilian this weird ideia also bothers me so much. and people insist on it. it's basic and it's taught in school. there's monarchy x republic, in parallel there's federations x unitary states, in parallel there's democracy x autocracy, in parallel there's presidencial x parliamentary. brazil is presidential democratic federal republic. germany is a parliamentary democratic federal republic, italy is a parliamentary democratic unitary republic, the netherlands is a parliamentary democratic unitary monarchy. venezuela is a presidential autocratic unitary republic. it's not hard to grasp

  352. As an American I’d love the German windows! And I’ve talked the husband into switching our doorknobs for door handles.

  353. The Scene with Chris Pratt, when the german reporter and him show us the 3 with their fingers, you can tell, who is from germany.

  354. My nanny was a German native who had recently (within 10 years) moved to a prominently German area of SW Minnesota. She spoke German and taught me German prayers, baked German foods, and had a huge garden. The region near New Ulm, Mn was full of German heritage. I grew up thinking everyone ate sauerkraut and sausage! I would love to see you visit the area, or make a video about the region.
    137
  355. Feli, this was a terrific video! You're a gifted speaker and would make a great teacher with the way you break down perspectives. I hope you consider more longform videos for the future, as you have great potential in this format.
    137
  356. With regard to 'Niemc', the Germanic languages had a similar term for non-Germanic speakers: Walhaz. Hence: Wallonia (Belgium), Wales (Britain), Wallis (Switzerland), Wallachia (Romania) etc.
    137
  357. """Germans are orderly, structured and follow rules.""" GOOD qualities to have during the coronavirus situation. PLEASE keep cranking these videos out, guys. As a Murican with some German ancestry, I devour the compare and contrast Germany/USA videos. Plus, you guys have good chemistry and complement each other - LIKE an Amurican 🍔Burger and a German🍺 beer!!
    137
  358. I am a german living in Illinois and I make my way to Jungle Jims..twice a year..it gives me a little bit of home..love your Chanel..Danke Dir von ganzem Herzen. :)

  359. About the paid toilet use: I'm willing to pay to go to the toilet in Germany. Toilets at gas stations in Germany are clean..... very clean..... I wonder if that's the case in the U.S. Compliments to the Germans.

  360. Honey cake horse would be a great name for a highly affectionate VERY LARGE dog.

  362. "Why didn't you warn us about 9/11?" You should have answered: "We tried but the carrier pigeon wasn't fast enough. You know, because we don't have telephones..." 😁😁

  363. Hello, Listening to you has helped me understand a lot about my father, who passed away over 20 years ago. My father was born and raised in Germany during WWII. Came to USA at 17 years old, joined American Air Force. Learn to speak English by reading American comic books. My mother till this day complains about how hard it was for her to get my father to buy a house.
    133
  364. So cool! All the best. I share a similar relationship. I am originally from Kentucky (Louisville) and married to my German wife. We a a bit older, married 34 years. We met in our twenties and the German-American relationship has been great. I have become more “Germanized” and she has become more “Americanized”, although she will always be a proud Bavarian.
    133
  365. I once attended a meeting between a German and an American, and at the end the German handed a bunch of documents to the American and asked if he wanted a map. Which of course confused the American. "Mappe" in German is more of a portfolio or protective folder, made of leather or plastic.
    132
  366. When you are an American who had no idea that you have been writing like a German your whole life... 👀
    131
  367. Lol in Canada when someone says thank you we practically have to reply with a speech, "Oh yeah, no worries buddy. Of course, not a problem. Any Time... " etc..
    131
  368. Kiddo, you speak American English like a native speaker. Good Job.
    131
  369. You two make an incredibly cute and heartwarming couple, all the best!
    130
  370. Greetings from Germany. I actually never heard of The Sound of Music, or the story of the Trapp family in general until now. So i learned something today. Thanks, Feli.
    130
  371. On Silvester you can watch "Dinner for One" nearly the whole day repeatedly.
    128
  372. One of the funniest changes I remember is the german "Babynator", originally "The Pacifier" with Vin Diesel.
    126
  373. As a native Yiddish speaker of the dialogue from the first video, and a German speaker I first must say that you did a great job. And that tate, is indeed father. But tante does mean aunt in Yiddish as well. It’s so interesting to see someone exploring my native language. Thank you for making this video 😊
    126
  374. Totally agree with you, as a German it never even occured to me that he could've made a mistake here. I never thought about the grammatically correct rule you mention at 9:00, I mean if you think about it, it makes sense, but I don't think anyone who grew up with German as their first language would bother or even realise that this phrase might be misunderstanding or grammatically incorrect.
    126
  375. As an American who is learning a foreign language and moving aboard soon, I feel like I relate a lot to Ben, and I'm excited to see more of his experiences learning German and moving to Germany in the future!!
    125
  376. “Germans don’t have much rhythm” made me literally laugh out load. Having German heritage I can relate. Please keep creating great videos.
    125
  377. Vielen Dank, dass du die ganze Affäre so hervorragend für die angloamerikanische Welt aufbereitet und erklärt hast.
    125
  378. Honestly, I'm not one to shill for an advertiser (I've never even bought anything advertised off of YouTube in almost 20 years) but Ground News seems like a super important service that I wish everyone in this country subscribed to
    124
  379. Man I love the American loving our fixtures and windows. Like just generally appreciating the buildings it made me crack up a little cause it's so normal to me. I love how they all had a thing that they cared about. Playgrounds, fixtures, cultrual things, pricing, food. They all took note of something and compared it to american stuff from home. They all have a kind of positive experience an open mind and I love that. It's so cool I hope they continue to have a great trip! And when they come back see even more stuff they like!
    124
  380. This really hits close to home as I was born in New Braunfels and later moved to another small town nearby. Unfortunately, even tho my parents both spoke German fluently, they didn't really teach me or my sister. So, all the German I know I learned in school, from books, and in Germany.
    123
  381. I was expecting a girly youtuber with clickbait magazine facts, but I was surprised to see that it was an in-depth well explained video crossing knowledge with experience, and that's always more relatable. I'm from neither of the countries but learned a good sum of info. Thank you
    123
  382. I'm Australian, and have never been to the United States. I can say that in Australia it's very uncommon here, and is only done for religious reasons or when necessary for medical reasons, which is quite rare. So as an Australian, I can't give a reason why it's so common in the United States based upon my own experience, however I can tell you what I've heard from my friends in the United States. The #1 reason I've heard is that it's basically tradition - the father has been circumcised and so their sons are done as well so that the sons are the same as the father in this way. Also because it's the norm to have this done, it's also done to help prevent the son from being teased for being "different" if they don't have it done. At least, that's what I've been told by my friends who live in the United States. And yes, the hygiene argument is still used, but as the owner of a penis myself I have to say that argument doesn't have any basis in reality - and if it does, perhaps there are bigger problems when it comes to hygiene than if there is a small bit of skin over the tip of the penis or not...
    122
  383. What a tremendous job you did in this video!!! Every nation’s economy is so intertwined with the world economy. What happens in each country effects the rest of the world. It is far too complex to predict too much into the future. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is definitely responsible for much of the world’s economic difficulties. Also, as you mentioned, Covid effected everyone economically as well. Unfortunately we’re probably going to in this mess for a long time. Again, you did an excellent job!!
    121
  384. Watching the video was a lot of fun. I was caught sitting in front of the screen grinning stupidly and was asked several times what I was watching because I kept laughing. I think you two are totally adorable together. I really like Ben. I love his calm and friendly nature, his humor, his curiosity, his open-mindedness. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to more videos.
    121
  385. I spent some time YEARS ago in Germany in Mannheim in the US Army and attended the 1972 Olympics in your wonderful city of Munich . Public Transportation was Much better in Germany even back then compared to here in the US . We rely way too much on cars here . I enjoy your videos very much they are Sehr Gut
    121
  386. As a German American from DC, I really appreciate this video! Sending it to my whole German American Washingtonian family! Thanks for great content!
    120
  387. Great video Feli. So glad to see that Florian got his wish, the Eurofighter. Fun to watch them celebrate.

  388. I never considered that when I say Tschüß, I'm singing it. But it's true. 😂

  389. I was in marching band, so I just thought of the football team as our opening act.

  390. Half an hour of intelligent-and-handsome-guy entertainment? Yes, please.
    119
  391. I like listening to you both very much. It helps me learn English and understand English better. Love from Germany 🖤❤️💛
    119
  392. Yesss I needed this as a German. And I couldn't stop laughing! Please do a part 2! 🤣👍
    119
  393. Great video, I agree with everything you're saying. Here are a few more things I loved about living in the U.S. - Making a big deal out of things: graduation for example. Senior class activities, pranks, day off, prom, - who cares in Europe if you finish school? - Variety in clothes sizes: I'm short, so I appreciate "Ankle length", or shoes come in narrow, regular and wide - Sense of community. Due to a lack in healthcare, people help each other out and will raise money for their neighbor who requires chemo therapy, they will invite the kids over so Mom can rest,... - Jobs: it's more about your personality and attitude than diplomas. You can literally be / become anything!
    117
  394. I grew up wirth the grimm version. And I will never forgett the part with: "Bäumchen rüttel dich, Bäumchen schüttel dich, wirf Gold und Silber über mich."
    117
  395. Feli, I love your cultural videos but this one, wow! More videos like this need to be made by YouTubers. Everyone should have some insight on the issues and plights of others across the world especially considering much of big news media is more local (and in the case of the US very US-centric) and many of these stories don't get the air time or real estate they deserve, unless you go to PBS or NPR or media outside of the US like the BBC, the Guardian, or the Economist. If you could cover more topics like this, and not necessarily just Germany but the EU in general, that would be great!
    117
  396. As a tax partner in a very large international public accounting firm, I must say you did a great job of explaining the basics of income tax. As you mentioned, it is very difficult to compare the two tax systems, but the point was made. It’s not 50%.
    117
  397. How to piss off a German: freeze your beer, and say it's been "chilled."
    116
  398. Das wäre ein perfektes Thema um mit Aramis Merlin zusammen darüber mal zu sprechen. Er sagte glaub ich mal, dass deutsche Schauspieler ihren Sprech oft auch "anpassen" müssen, damit es auch Klischeedeutsch klingt. Bzw halt unnormal deutlich und betont sprechen müssen
    116
  399. I‘m actually doing my masters degree in BW right now, enjoying it a lot! The Swabian dialect is definitely tough though! Certainly considering staying, the business opportunities are no joke. Plus, I’m hoping to be good enough in German to look at German jobs too!
    116
  400. Regarding ATM fees: Bank of America and Deutsche Bank are both part of the Global ATM Alliance, so you can get cash from each other’s machines with no fees (except the currency conversion fee).
    115
  401. Forty years ago, I played piano in the restaurant for background music at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, VT. The "baby" of the family, Johannis von Trapp would permit me to play "Edelweiss" only twice if requested during my 4 hour nightly gig. He had a tremendous antipathy to the songs of the "Sound of Music. I got to know Werner von Trapp, one of the original singers (named Hans or Fritz or something like that in the movie) well when living there. I played with music with his daughter, Elizabeth in a concert or two in Stowe as well. 😀
    115
  402. For me it’s super Interesting how teen pregnancy is super uncommon in Europe because of how early and constant sex ed is trough out all educational years vs in the USA were us such a taboo. Also European take relationship so not that seriously at teenage age, in the USA is super common to get married to your high school sweetheart.
    114
  403. As a dual citizen who's been living over in Germany for the better part of the last 2 decades, I'm very very impressed by the quality of this video. Well done - it is near impossible to maintain an unbiased pov when discussing these topics, but you nailed it. Glückwunsch!
    114
  404. Definitely do a part three
    114
  405. I have been living in the south of Germany for almost three years and must admit that the language sounds much nicer than it's portrayed outside of the country! All the high pitched "tschüssi"'s to say goodbye are actually quite cute, warm and welcoming!
    113
  406. I think Christoph Walz is one of my all time favorite actors, he's just a genius
    113
  407. 11:46 in Russian we call Germany - Германия (Germaniya) but Germans - Немцы (Nemtsy)
    113
  408. German: downloaden. Southern USA: downloadin’.
    113
  409. When I moved to Prague 3 years ago I didn't know about the "European" style windows and I fell in love with them immediately. I agree with Thomas Wieser that the radiators that can also be used as a towel rack is really nice. To be honest, I prefer a lot of things now that are European instead of American. You didn't mention the electric kettles in this video but I know you did in an early video. Why they're not a thing in the US is beyond me. I could go on and on. Hah!
    113
  410. Everyone I know in the US is dead set against declawing cats. Its cruel and inhumane. My daughter fostered and then adopted old sisters. They were declawed by their former owner and their little paws are so disfigured. Reminds me of feet binding.
    112
  411. Amusingly in business we would call a "shooting star" a "wunderkind" for a young person going through the ranks quickly.
    112
  412. I worked for a German company in America and Whatsapp was essentially a requirement for communicating.
    111
  413. I always watched "Simsala Grimm" as a kid. There they also showed a softer version of these fairy tales but it was nearer to the original versions than the disney versions. I really enjoyed watching this show back then and even though I knew all the fairy tales already I was always really excited when they resolved the problem.
    111
  414. It's amazing that I found Nick and Felicia separately on YT and now they have done such a great collaboration! Please follow up on this with part 2!
    111
  415. My wife is of German descent and she’s seen that video with me. She was amused and agreed with all of them. I also found out right away not to get on her bad side. Bring of British descent myself we constantly joke around about our ancestors. It’s never boring, I can guarantee that
    111
  416. My grandmother and her family immigrated to the U.S. when she was 14 years old. Her family spoke Germain in the home but English in public. When she was asked a question about the U.S. she said she would think in English and when she was asked about the time in Germany she would think of the answer in Germain.
    110
  417. Totally agree on the paper size. I do graphic design. Same with the recycling too.

  418. das ist wahnsinn!! niemals würde jemand glauben dass es nicht die muttersprache ist. großen respekt!

  419. Zwieback: wenn der Teig nur einmal gebacken wird, ist es Einback (extrem lecker, haben wir als Kinder geliebt). Wenn das Brot zum zweiten mal gebacken wird ist es Zwieback (Zweiback)
    110
  420. The Puma/Adidas as well as the Trader Joe's/Aldi Nord connections blew my mind! Thanks for the great video!
    109
  421. If anyone is ever in Berlin-I recommend you sign up for a free tour of the Bundestag where you can learn more about Germany's government and how it's different than other Parliaments and the USA. It's usually an hour and a half tour but Feli did a great job of an unbiased overall explanation in 20 min. Though I would quibble that the CDU is more like Conservative Democrats here in the states. It will be interesting to see if the AFD will get more votes outside of East Germany but it was obvious when I was there in 2023 that the current government wasn't popular. Even if you don't go on the building tour, I highly recommend you tour the Bundestag/Reichstag dome as it is a beautiful building and chamber!
    109
  422. As an American living in Germany, the only things I miss are air conditioning and Mexican food. Otherwise, I absolutely love Germany exactly as it is.
    108
  423. He really is doing quite well considering how many days he's been studying German. His biggest pronunciation issues are just that he doesn't know what sounds certain letters represent in German-- a starting V becomes an English F, the Ä is more like an English E than an A, the German Z is a tsss sound, etc. There's a website that explicitly goes over these differences (but I don't want to give a link here, so as to avoid having my comment eaten by the spam filter.) Still, really good considering how early in the process he is!
    108
  424. I had a very similar experience as an Afrikaans speaker when visiting the Netherlands a few years back. The language was familiar enough to get more or less what the conversation was about and yet foreign enough to be unable to participate in it properly. Its a strange place to find oneself in, you sort of get it but cant be in it. Kinda like some weird twilight zone ;)
    107
  425. Congratulations!I have attended and helped out with hundreds of naturalization ceremonies as a federal court official in Brooklyn, NY. It is always inspiring and a joy to welcome new citizens. We welcomed about 65,000 each year, 280 at a time (in two court houses). It never got old. I am so happy for you. We are lucky to count you among us.
    107
  426. I guess people know Schweighöfer now because he was in Army of the Dead with Dave Bautista
    106
  427. More and more the word backpfeifengesicht is used in English, and I'm here for it.
    106
  428. übermorgen und vorgestern. the day after tomorrow and the day before yesterday... funny thing is those words once existed in english as well (overmorrow and ereyesterday ) but somhow vanished and are archaic/obsolet nowadays
    106
  429. To be fair, yes, I did have that perception growing up but being Jewish, my upbringing concerning Germans in the 1960s was not exactly objective. All that being said, my high school, which was 75% Jewish, oddly enough offered German as well as Hebrew, so my views began to change. When I went to college, I took Yiddish, which did help me in learning German, so I could speak it as well as read and write it (the pride my grandparents had when I wrote them a letter in Yiddish became the stuff of legends in their old folks home). However, my pronunciations of the “ch” and “r” sounds are still a bit harsher to this day than any German speaker. My German instructor would call on me not by name but by over doing my “ch” to the point it sounded like he was trying to hock a loogie. Also, the summer I worked in Germany, I worked with people from France and there was a lot of harsh and guttural sounds when they spoke French so I wasn’t fooled into thinking the French was some more beautiful language. Same with Spanish, having lived in Tucson and various parts of California. What is also funny, my Spanish speaking co-workers, upon hearing me speak German with tourists from Germany and Austria (I don’t bother with tourists from Switzerland because their dialect is a bit too difficult, especially those from the Bern Canton) were amazed at how beautiful German could sound because they were only exposed to the stereotype tropes on TV and in the movies.
    106
  430. Feli: "Thank you for this really long conversation." Me: I thought that it just had started. This could go on for another hour. So interesting!
    105
  431. I'm from a small town in the Midwest and when I was in high school, my French class took a trip to France and I was shocked when the girl I was staying with told me to stop smiling at/greeting all the people we passed while walking. It was always something natural that everyone did where I grew up, and it felt really cold at first until I learned that it was just a cultural difference.
    105
  432. The turnout in Germany was about 85%. In presidential elections in the US we are lucky to get 60%. The key, I believe, is that in Germany you are automatically registered. Why can't that happen in the US?
    105
  433. I am from Sweden and I can say that most of the words are incorrect. Combine = kombinera Dolly = säckkärra (the same as German Sackkarre) Nipple = bröstvårta (same as German Brustwarze) Shaver = rakapparat (same as German Rasierapparat) Sawdust = sågspån
    104
  434. In addition to the prison staff, the executioner, Johann Reichhart, later said that Sophie Scholl was the bravest person he had ever seen. And the movie is highly recommended.
    104
  435. I actually cried when Florian got the Eurofighter. The connection with an aircraft means a lot.
    104
  436. This is a habit I lost after living abroad for a while: Social drinking. In Japan, you can have as much as you like and then just take the train home. Here it's just too much of a hassle.
    104
  437. No project can succeed without a cat's assistance.
    103
  438. I go to Cape Town, South Africa and stay there for some months visiting my long distance boyfriend and the first time I came home (USA) everything was soooo weird but after a few times it became so normal for each place to be different and understanding what I love from both places! 💘💘 my hearts in two places
    103
  439. in 2020 door handles reign superior as you can open them with your elbow. way more hygienic
    103
  440. Being an 'old timer' who studied German throughout my schooling years and still tries to keep up, I enjoy your channel because you bring new things to the table. Thanks for the content.
    103
  441. What I learned is that I probably should've been an European... Walking is fun and I love trains!
    103
  442. Another Easter-Egg in the first song: When Marti sings „Abarakadabara“ he does it by imitating Stefan Raab, the famous German TV Entertainer
    102
  443. I am German and I had 9 years English lessens in school. After my school years I was in England for a placement. And when talking to a native speaker there, he said to me: "You have a problem with your Vs, you pronounce them like Ws!" This was when I learned that there is a difference between these two sounds! And I was shocked that I had been using the wrong pronouncement for so many years! This is long ago but I am still grateful to that guy for making me aware of that mistake! 👍
    102
  444. Since you asked what speaking errors do or do not bother us I have to honestly say that no speaking error really bothers me. I am in awe of anybody who can speak additional languages, especially a confusing monster like English. I will try to help where I can, but as long as i can understand what you need to convey then I don't really care how you say it. :D
    101
  445. FINALLY, someone explained the ie and ei pronounciation! You are making want to learn German. Thanks for all the great videos.
    101
  446. I would like to see this catch on in the US. Adults seem to find a way to celebrate every little change in their lives (such as "engagement showers"). I like how this sets children up to have a positive feeling about school.

  450. Ich finde diese Videos, wo die Amerikaner mit uns Deutschen verglichen werden sehr interessant, weil ich persönlich dadurch die Unterschieden und Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen unserem Länder erfahren kann Weiter so Felicia👍🏻
    99
  451. I still am amazed at how good your English is. I used to teach accents to actors and I'm usually very good at picking up something in people's accents that will tip me off as to from where they come. I'd be hard-pressed to figure you out if I didn't know you were German. Kudos.
    99
  452. My compliments to you, Feli, for your well researched information that utilizes respected, bona fide sources. As usual, your presentation is fluid, fluent, and top notch including useful graphics. Please keep up the good work, especially on such important topics to society. I'm pleased to see someone your age intelligently emphasizing the significance of these issues and drawing comparisons as appropriate with other nations.
    99
  453. Wie immer gründlich recherchiert und superverständlich rübergebracht. Danke!

  454. German Girl in America it’s pretty much just calling them a woman and emasculating them. It wouldn’t be much of an insult to any reasonable person, but the meathead, jockey, “alpha” types would find it offensive. Side note: alphas don’t exist in our species. Even though people have told me I’m one, I think they’re moronic.
    99
  455. Holy Crap, his German is impressive. Learning German fluently is definitely on my bucket list.
    99
  456. I skimmed through the responses before making this one. I am in my 60's so age may have something to do with all of this. Growing up, I had rarely heard of an "indoor" cat. Cats were pets that ruled the home and were let in and out as they pleased, their human being on hand to feed them, serve as their doorman, and keep the litter box clean. Indoor cats became more prevalent as traffic got worse and more was learned about infectious diseases between cats.I started keeping my cats indoors in the late 90's both for their safety and to keep fleas out of my home. I first came across a declawed kitty in my 20's, the woman did it to protect her furniture, and at that first introduction I looked into it. When I found it wasn't just the claw being removed I was disgusted at the idea.I believe that it is illegal in some states now but I'm not positive. Furniture is nice and all but it's not a living family mamber.
    98
  457. Hallo Feli, ich finde es echt interessant die Reaktionen der Amerikaner über Deutschland zu hören. Gerne mehr von solchen Videos. Grüße aus Baden-Württemberg.

  458. I grew up in Australia, we share a very similar education system, the trades were very important and many types of apprenticeships.

  459. In my personal experience as a German, the whole thing of having to pay of debt is something Germans don't like. I mean to have debts at all. I have many friends in Spain and most of them get cars etc early while in uni and pay them off slowly. But Germans don't like that, most of my friends in Germany save up until they can afford it.

  460. I, too, wonder what you'll do in the future. You are one of the finest communicators I have seen. By that, I mean you have the intelligence and judgement to express complicated material clearly. And your delivery is natural and nuanced. Congratulations on your remarkable success YouTube success.

  461. Ever read Der Struwwelpeter? My Oma sent it to us when I was about 3. Even though I couldn't read it immediately, the pictures of a girl burning to ash and a thumbsucker getting his thumbs cut off were loads of fun! :)
    97
  462. I remember playing Bundesliga Manager in the 90s and learning some long injury names in German like Oberschenkelzerrung, Bauchmuskelprellung, Schienbeinbruch etc.

  463. Aldi shopping lifehack: If you go shopping by car, which most of you will probably do, use baskets instead of bags. Preferably the woven ones. Or the foldable ones, if you don't want them to take up too much space. Gamechanger!
    97
  464. As a Canadian, I experience the "invite" thing constantly and it drives me crazy. I must be inherently German. I tell it like it is, not being rude. Just honest
    97
  465. I'm happy I found this gem of a channel, it's a fun way to learn about German culture :)
    97
  466. Ben has always been hot, but Ben in Lederhosen is a whole other level. I also like how open he is to german culture. Have fun at Oktoberfest!
    97
  467. I'm a German in Canada and I got my election papers on the 21st of February, which is a day later than it was supposed to be sent back. As such, I couldn't vote either. I reached out to my city via Instagram and was told that it took until January 31, 2025 to confirm all candidates and print the ballots. They did mail it out by February 4 but it took 17 days to get to me, which is no surprise if you mail it regular mail, to be honest. For snap elections, they should mail ballots out as Express to ensure everyone that wants to vote can vote.
    97
  468. Having universal healthcare makes me feel free from the worry of getting sick.
    96
  469. After seeing this, since my daughter is in school, I rushed to check out whether Maryland requires abstinence to be stressed. Fortunately it doesn't - MD only requires it to be mentioned. In all other respects, MD is pretty liberal. I'm English (though I've been living in the US for 30 years), and when I went to school in England in the 1970s, we were taught comprehensive sex education. So it seems many parts of the US are at least 50 years behind Europe in this regard. It's embarrassing really.
    96
  470. US Copyright laws can be daunting to deal with, I am glad that yourself and your friends have been able to work through the rebranding. I do not really see much of a need to release videos again personally, the blurring out etc doesnt really bother me much and of course that is something that as new people subscribe they will see that as merely another way that you have shared how you have experienced living in the United States. Thank you for the great content and look forward to much more in the future Feli. Best wishes moving forward :)
    96
  471. That guy also "forgot" to connect those crime stats to the hate crimes targeted at foreigners - like German nationals trying to set buildings on fire because they housed refugees, or the murder spree committed by a group of Nazi terrorists.
    96
  472. “Entschuldigung” has a similar logic of the Portuguese counterpart. “Desculpa” -> des (to take, to deny), culpa (guilt).
    96
  473. Until the late 70s we never had soft cookies here.
    96
  474. The "outdoor only" cat is a rarity in the US in my experience. Indoor-only cats are pretty common, but there are still plenty of indoor-outdoor cats around.
    95
  475. I really like this video, especially the „hiwwe wie driwwe“ part, because it‘s amazing how very close the language still is to the original dialect. I‘m from the Palatinate and it‘s really easy to understand for the most part, including all the special words. Hiwwe wie driwwe meaning „hüben wie drüben“, so „here and there“ by the way 🙂
    95
  476. A 46 minute video from Feli?? Dang, alright, I'll buckle in...
    94
  477. "Pension" is also a German word. It is the pension for public servants, while "Rente" refers to all other. Weirdly enough, "Pension" also means "small hotel" in German.
    94
  478. Dogs say One in Japanese. Cats say Nya Chickens say Coke-Cocko, Chicks say Pi Pi Sparrow say Chun Chun, Crows say Car Car Elephants say Paoon Donkeys say MeEE Pigs say Boo Boo
    94
  479. As an American, I'm annoyed that more Americans don't also use WhatsApp. SMS is so old and antiquated.
    93
  480. As an Austrian who also has some relatives in both Germany & Switzerland, I'd like to add that there's also a difference in Standard German in those three countries. E.g., in Austria or Switzerland, the vocabulary used in Standard Swiss/Austrian German partly differs from words common in Germany. Also, in Switzerland there are some grammatical structures they use in Standard Swiss German which aren't used in Austria or Germany. Sometimes, the spelling differs, e.g. in Switzerland they don't use the letter "ß", they spell "hot" not "heiß" but "heiss", for example. I just wanted to add this bc I find it important to consider that there are not only various dialects in German, but also differing kinds of Standard German (namely the one used in Germany, Swiss German & Austrian German).
    93
  481. As a retired high school social studies teacher, I found your presentation very informative and educational. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
    92
  482. As a native Dutch speaker (Flemish) there's quite a bit I could understand as well. In Dutch we say 'goede namiddag' and 'goedenavond' which was very recognisable, but on the whole it was definitely more 'German'. But I guess 18th century Dutch and German would've been closer to each other than today. Great video 👍

  483.  @lakelandpiper8400  Time will tell if the constitution and bill of rights will stand.
    92
  484. I’ve been living in the US for about 30 years (born and raised in Kiel, Germany) and I’m a fluent English speaker, but “rent” and “Rente” still gets me sometimes, especially when I speak German to friends and family. I may say “Die Rente für die Wohnung ist sehr hoch.” 😂
    91
  485. Doppelganger has a more specific connotation in English than just lookalike, because it is often used to evoke a sense of unease or fear because the doppelganger is unnatural. It's a term you see used in science fiction and horror for "evil twins", ghosts, or aliens mimicking humans, that sort of thing.
    91
  486. I can definitely recommend Jojo Rabbit. It's a great film, if you can pretend the bad accents are part of the comedy. It has its tragic parts too ( as you might expect), but it's a good film nevertheles.
    91
  487. I just bought an apartment in Munich after 13 years in the city (studies included) and everything you said was spot on... It's not as easy to buy one here and right now I'm signed up to pay mortgage well into retirement. I'm sure I'll pay it off quicker but the risk of being a loaner for this long surely puts people off the idea... Coming from India, everyone buys thier own apartment. It's a lot cheaper than it is in Germany. 😃 Great video and explanation Feli. 👍
    90
  488. 🧐🤔So glad this channel exists. It's nice to learn a little bit about German culture. 😏😌🙏
    90
  489. I don't know German but it's definitely cool to see you react to the different dialects, Feli. A lot of people don't know how influential Germany is on our culture and history down here(along with Mexico, obviously, among others), especially in what we call the Hill Country, in the central part of the state.

  492. Great points! You've hit a nerve with your statement "we don't even hear about these pronunciation mistakes in English classes in Germany". I assume Germany and Switzerland are comparable here. What bugs me is that schools value diplomas more than native speaking. Meaning they'd much rather hire a German person who attended all the necessary courses and passed certified exams to be an English teacher at their school than a British oder American person who actually lives and breathes the language. So what happens is that kids naturally adopt the teacher's pronunciation. Thank God children learn English from native speaking YouTubers these days though ;-)
    89
  493. The second I heard about the crime rate thing I was all "ah, must've talked to a right-winger", because that's exactly what they say. It's also wrong.
    89
  494. They do Peanutbutter in everything? Omg, i have to move to the States. I love Peanutbutter.
    89
  495. The chocolate cake one is honestly so surprising I never expected that. Whenever anyone figured out I was learning German as an American they were always like " I know how to make German chocolate cake"
    88
  496. Being that you like the Back To The Future Trilogy, I’m surprised you didn’t want the Interstate speed limit to be 88 MPH! :)
    88
  497. Hey Feli 😊 I just wanted to say that I love your channel and it was actually part of my inspiration to learn German. Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪❤️
    88
  498. This is a thoughtful, well-produced video. Thank you, Feli (and others who had a part). We don’t always realize the amount of work that goes into making something like this. Well done!
    88
  499. The recycling system in the US being so disorganized unfortunately leads to most of it going to the landfill anyways :( There's a higher standard in Germany for a reason

  500. Felicia & Nick - best and most entertaining team-up after Avengers & Infinity Wars.

  501. Wie gut er Deutsch spricht hat man gemerkt an „zu Englisch switchen“
    88
  502. I love WhatsApp. It's so much better than regular messaging, and it's the easiest way to keep in touch with my international friends.
    88
  503. Gosh, I love you! 😊 I think it, honestly, comes down to tradition. I'm American and did not have my son circumcised, although the rest of my family did. I feel it is barbaric and unnecessary. Like you mentioned, I figured if it were important to him later in life he could make that choice for himself.
    87
  504. I am from Germany and when my mom read me the German fairy tales when I was little they were only like 1-2 page child versions. When I got a little older I always watched "Simsalagrimm" on KiKa which is basically the original story, but animated into 25-minute episodes, or the "Sonntagsmärchen" on ARD
    86
  505. So glad there is a part 2. Enjoyed part 1. My German wife even commented on how good his German is. As for the Schnitzel sentence, an similar phrase would be, “I am happy as a clam.” Not sure how this phrase came about, nor why clams would be happy. 😀
    86
  506. Yes to Texas German! I was going to recommend that. As an American who learned all my German skills (B level) from Americans with western US accents, I actually find it much easier to understand Pennsylvania Dutch and Texas German. The accent can be grating compared to native German, but it's also how I'm accustomed to hearing many of the words pronounced. Native German sounds better to me but the words all blend together and are less distinct, so I pick up less of what is being said. The Denglischisms also contribute to me understanding better because that's how I learned (and still) speak - when I don't know the German word or grammar I just do throw in English to fill in the gaps. I've always been interested in Pennsylvania Dutch as one of my ancestors was a Lutheran immigrant from Baden to Pennsylvania in the 1780s. However by the 1840s they had moved west and stopped speaking German. Sehr gut Video! Ich finde es interessant. Danke Feli!
    86
  507. In Romania "Servus" is used a certain region of the country, one that was under Austro-Hungarian rule for hundreds of years.
    86
  508. fun fact. Mikado and Pocky are the same brand just advertised with a different name in europe and since we have the taste palette of an 90 year old we only got the normal choclate ones. (Was der bauer nicht kennt isst er nicht und so)
    86
  509. Feli is now a Rhabarber-Barbara-Rhabarberbar-Bavarian

  510. Switches Sim Card out "This is very handy." I see what you did there
    86
  511. I like 'beleidigte Leberwurst', which means: offended liver sausage. 😂 ahaha
    86
  512. Excellent video presentation, Feli. I’m American, 69 years old, and a student of History. I’ve learned that we humans are capable of shocking atrocity, yet also capable of incredible kindness. Your presentation has helped mature and deepen my understanding of the duality of those extremes that are part of our nature. Thank you.
    86
  513. Live in a city and so my cat is indoor only. I think declawing is barbarous. If you don't want the claws, don't get a cat.
    86
  514. This kid is SUCH a good ambassador for Germany! Engaging, funny, sweet, informative! And I agree! Which is the better language to relate your emotional feelings? Your OWN! ANY person is able to better communicate that intricate aspect in their own language.
    85
  515. I lived in a rural area in Connecticut, US and we had a well - no treated city water - and it was delicious, but when I moved to Florida, US we've only had City water and most of the time the chlorine is overwhelming.
    85
  516. Maybe without knowing it, you both experienced two “very New York” things in your video. The type of building you’re sitting in front of is called a “Brownstone” and is a real style element of New York. Secondly, you’re sitting on a “stoop”. That is what New Yorkers call the steps made of cement or brick in front of a house. Many people outside of New York area don’t know what a stoop is. It’s also a great part of New York culture, because in the summer “sitting on the stoop” and watching people go by or calling out to your neighbors is just typical New York. Other parts of the US have front porches (Veranda) on their houses, but New Yorkers have stoops! New York is where I come from, but I’ve lived now for more than 2 decades in Munich. Schöne Grüße aus Minga!
    85
  517. From Switzerland: we also use "springe" for "run" and "gumpe" for "jump". I think it's not a influence from English but an old word that both languages still use and Standard German not.
    85
  518. I'm American, and my favorite kinds of cookies are neither all hard or all soft, but instead crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy in the center. There is a cookie store chain called Mrs. Field's that popularized these kinds of cookies in America, starting in the late 1970's. Based on my own limited experience, Germans, Swiss-Germans and Austrians like these kinds of cookies as well, although they're not readily available in these countries. A couple of years ago, I was a contestant in a German cooking competition show (Die Küchenschlacht- ZDF) and made these kinds of cookies in the competition. Not only did the judge like them, but the host did as well, asked for my recipe and published it in a German cookbook released in 2018. I have made this kind of cookie many times for my German, Swiss and Austrian friends who live in or have visited the Chicago area, and have never had a complaint. And BTW, I really enjoyed your random differences series. Keep up the good work!
    85
  519. I visit German several times every year (except this year obviously) as one of my best friends lives there and I can say it's easily one of the best places in the world to visit and to live. Can't wait to go back and practice my terrible German skills. Deutsche sprache schwere sprache 😃👍
    85
  520. Been learning German during this virus crap, it’s starting to come to me. It will really help in my line of work (Mercedes Benz tech). I’ve always wanted to visit Deutschland. Love the videos, keep up the good work. You are such a cutie and a joy to listen too
    85
  521. Actually I'm from Poland and I admire your really good pronunciation of "Niemcy", bravo! :)
    84
  522. I'm Turkish. Your pronunciation of Mesut Özil is almost spot on with 2 minor mistakes. Firstly, /s/ in Mesut is not a /z/ sound, it is more like your ß. And secondly /i/ in in Özil is a short vowel.
    84
  523. with more and more election stuff flooding social media I thought "how does this all work? I need a video explaining US election, and maybe even comparing it to German elections"...... and here we are, thanks
    84
  524. Just had the discussion about actual and current at work. Took me soo long to convince my colleague that it is not a good idea to present a lot of numbers and then leading into the next section with the phrase: And now I give you the actual numbers....
    84
  525. 14:16 "Das ist total cringe" is my favorite sentence in the world now
    84
  526. A message for all the people who refuse to wear a mask,aren’t social distancing and believe Covid-19 is fake news, please don’t come to Boston! I’m in my early 30s, can’t remember when l last had the flu or even a cold,ran the Boston marathon the year before and last April found myself having to quarantine per order the Massachusetts department of public health for three weeks because I tested positive with Covid-19. Besides being ill, the thought of having infected my elderly parents and friends is something I don’t ever want to through again. My symptoms were mild. My family is OK Maybe this isn’t the place to post a comment like this. I’m just saying this shit is for real. Be careful out there!
    84
  527. My wife and I recently bought new mattresses in Germany. We wanted to get a single large mattress and just like you described, the lady at the store convinced us to get 2 separate ones. Her argument besides the different weights was that apparently wide mattress don't last as long and will need to be replaced more frequently. In the end I'm happy with our choice because each of us could get the mattress they liked best and we didn't have to find a compromise that neither of us is completely happy with.
    84
  528. Thank you. Another honest, factual presentation.
    84
  529. This video was very well structured 👏 It flowed very nicely. Maybe a weird thing to compliment, but it really stood out to me. 😄
    84
  530. The trip was a blast, even getting caught out in the rain just added spice to the experience. 😅😅
    84
  531. I’m a native born American and STILL say “wed-nes-day” when I write: Wednesday
    83
  532. Felicia, your English is really good. If I had met you somewhere and started talking to you, and you hadn’t told me you were from Germany, I never would have realized that you weren’t a native English speaker. You speak English clearer than some native speakers.
    83
  533. Why am I crying? So proud of you and happy for Ben also. I have been following you since the beginning of your German Girl videos and also a proud Patreon of you. Anyway CONGRATULATIONS Servus und Tschüss!
    83
  534. He is probably also going to do a 10 reasons to move to Germany so if he does go ahead and check that one out as well.
    82
  535. If you think that's crazy, my wife and I speak Czech and Spanish to our 2yr old girl, make her watch German TV, and we speak English with one another. So far it works. Der Typ spricht perfektes Deutsch, toll!
    82
  536. Also, being used to my mother's German schwäbish accent, whenever we've visited places like Fredricksburg, New Braunfels, Round Rock, Gruene, etc. I've always been fascinated overhearing Texas German in restaurants and shops and amazed that people do still speak German in those places. It sounds funny to me, but at the same time really interesting and makes me smile.
    81
  537. And on my second watch through (yes, the video was that good!) I really resonate with your closing statement, "Sex sells, especially in a country where the body and sexual desire have been named the enemy." I think that's it. Sex sells because instead of seeing it as simply a natural and ordinary part of life, it becomes this secret thing that we want to experience. So at the same time our country seems so sexualized, it is definitely not in a healthy way. Way to go, Feli! Another homerun!
    81
  538. 4am, Germany... GGIA comes up.. and I have to watch :D
    81
  539. As a Canadian, I was surprised when I first heard the American Media report on voter demographics including “White College Educated Men” or “Suburban Housewives” for example. In Canadian, demographic reporting is generally either by geographic location, by men and women, or by age or language group.
    81
  540. your english is excellent! #impressed
    80
  541. OMG! You are both adorable! Ben did really well! I'm impressed, honestly. I love that he's taking lessons through a conversation partner with similar interests. That's cool too! Great job, enjjoyed the video immensely. I was smiling and laughing the whole time!
    80
  542. Whilst walking I also listen to podcasts. More precisely: I'm trying to understand train station 😊
    80
  543. I saw a VLOG by a German foreign exchange student doing a year of high school in Alabama. She said she had seen in American movies and TV shows how big high school sports are (especially football), but just assumed it was an exaggeration. She was surprised to find out how much of a big thing high school sports truly is in the U.S.
    80
  544. Maybe American houses should have German-style windows.
    80
  545. You two are adorable together and it makes me laugh all the time. I like when Ben is on with you.
    79
  546. I have been told that Germany is a beautiful place. My uncle was stationed there. He told me lots of wonderful stories and I would love to go visit.
    79
  547. I am German and I also grew up with a lot of fairytales. I also never watched the disney versions because I think they will destroy my imagination of the fairytale. I prefer movies of fairytales that were shot I think the late fifties.
    79
  548. I’m so happy for you! My wife did this in Oct 2003. Our 3 kids still remember and talk about the naturalization ceremony and they were only in kindergarten to 4th grade. I’m not sitting here tearing up, if you were wondering.
    78
  549. Jawlines have been around for a long time, especially for men. Just look at Superhero comics they all have the strong square jaw.
    78
  550. I'm from the Midwest, and moved the other way, but have the same experience. In my smallish German town, veggie options were everywhere. Sushi places had multiple meatless options, but when i came back to visit, friends thought the us had lots of good options, but our experience was much different. My wife doesn't eat meat, and even at many sit down places all she could order was fries and grilled cheese/quesadillas (even many non Mexican places had quesadilla). Interesting, i think Germany has the most veggie friendly experiences for eating.
    78
  551. Thank you for this highly researched, in depth explanation of free speech in Germany. This was very useful in helping me as a U.S. citizen understand the differences and similarities, as well as different expectations based upon history and culture, between the two countries.
    78
  552. EXCELLENT presentation and production Feli, you have an innate knack for making these types of historical topics so interesting. I especially enjoyed the details about Hamburg since that is where my mother grew up before the war. 😊
    78
  553. When you are a Hungarian who's a non-native English speaker and pronounce more than half of these brands the German way by default... 😅
    78
  554. You speak better English than most of the people where I'm from, lol.
    77
  555. Wow, your German accent at the very beginning intro was perfect. ;) Americans just tend to think of old WWII movies when they think of a German accent and you know how wrong those are.
    77
  556. She's alive!! I was hoping there'd be a new video soon. Hope you and Ben are having a blast!
    77
  557. Yes! Some of us are learning German so any video about pronunciation or accents would be super helpful! 😁 We really enjoy your videos.
    77
  558. Thanks for putting this info out. It has been a struggle to find real info on this over here in the US. Let alone anything in english.
    77
  559. I was hoping you've cover this from when I first heard about it in the news. This was a great explanation, thank you!
    77
  560. I only know Spezi as the drink as well. Guess I learned something.
    76
  561. Feli, You didn't mention Social Security numbers. For example, just about every medical professional requests your Social Security # . Most people don't know that you're NOT required to provide that information. Just leave it blank. They can't make you do it.
    76
  562. I literally laughed out loud at that intro! Genius! Happy anniversary, Feli! We in the United States are lucky to have you here! :-) Another great video!
    76
  563. You finally broke 300K subscribers. CONGRATULATIONS, Felicia!!!
    76
  564. Peanut butter to an American is Nutella to a European. I have witness Nutella Jars as large as you described our Peanut butter jars.
    75
  565. Easter Eggs: In the first part of the Bodo Wartke/Marti Fischer version, Marti does this weird smile, which is an impression of Max Giermann parodying Stefan Raab. Both of which are also incredibly famous comedians from the nineties/early 2000s.
    75
  566. I knew about some of this, but also learned a lot of new things I did not know. Thank you, Feli. And thanks to your German heritage for all that you have contributed to our great country. I wish a very Merry Christmas to you and Ben.
    75
  567. Selbst nach 37 Jahren an der schweizer Grenze muss ich mich anstrengen um Schweizerdeutsch richtig zu verstehen. 🙂
    75
  568. I live on five acres. My Maine Coon cat was always allowed to be inside when he wanted or outside. He usually preferred being outside at night. He was, of course, not declawed. I have hawks, owls, raccoons, armadillos, rabbits, and various other animals who live or frequent my property along with deer at times. My cat never had any problems with any of them and lived until 14, when he died to cancer. I enjoyed letting him be a cat.
    74
  569. Thanks for the video, I appreciate the way you refuted his “facts”, calmly and with actual facts. Your English is wonderful, much better than my high school German, though I have been working on improving over the years, Mark Twain never attempted Russian or Chinese, those are much harder than German. I’m planning a trip to Germany, was going to go this summer, but I think next summer will be much more likely, and give me a chance to improve my German. Thanks again, Dan.
    74
  570. This is such a nice change of content from you Feli. Its fun seeing you and Ben in a more natural setting where we can see how Deutsch is naturally spoken. Feli is such an amazing person. Keep at it 🎉🎉 Also it was nice seeing my self taught Deutsch made me understand about half what was being said without subtitles 😊 🇩🇪!!
    74
  571. I think Americans are so conditioned to drive that they forget they could walk when it's only 1/2 mile away! :-) I'm way more inclined to walk in the city than when I'm home in the suburbs.
    74
  572. On several occasions I have experienced very surprised reactions from Americans who could hardly believe that I had never been to the Oktoberfest in Munich. And that I don't want to go there either.
    73
  573. Hi Feli, I'm Dutch and studied Germanistik ca. 40 years ago. I could almost understand everything. I found it interesting that some people came from Bohemia. I read the book Der Golem by Gustav Meyrink (early 20th century) which is set in Prague. Prague was German speaking (at least partially) at the time, or maybe it was more Jiddish. (Franz Kafka was also from Prague). Anyway, in that book a lot of German dialect appears and the umlauted o and umlauted u were changed there in the same way as in Texas German, if I remember correctly.

  574. I’ve heard the term “ear worm” on television (on The Big Bang Theory) and was able to figure out the meaning from the context. I’ve never heard the term used by anyone in real life. I love the term “cable salad” and I intend to use it as often as possible. 😊

  575. He's a great guy! Glad you have a nice guy. Ben, you know now, if you hurt her you've got all of us to answer to!! Just saying!

  576. Two videos back to back, now that’s German efficiency. Hows your wrist doing

  577. Ich war gerade dabei, ins Bett zu gehen, als ich den Titel des Videos sah, und ich MUSSTE sofort schauen! Es ist zu witzig. Ich bin in Wichita Falls geboren und bin in einem kleinen Dorf keine 20 km von Shepherd aufgewachsen. Mein Onkel war Pilot bei der US-Marine und flog häufig Shepherd an, wenn er die Familie besucht hat. Noch dazu waren etliche meiner Klassenkameraden Kinder von Luftwaffenpersonal, und ich war häufig auf dem Stützpunkt. Später war es witzig, wenn ich meine Eltern besucht habe, weil ich häufig in den Läden in WF Deutsch gehört habe. Die Leute waren immer erstaunt, wenn ich sie auf Deutsch angesprochen habe. Als ich ein Kind war, flogen die B-52s immer über unserem Haus bei der Landung. Sie waren bereits dann so tief, dass man glaubte, sie fast berühren zu können.

  579. this is the first time seeing Bernd and I'm IN LOVE

  580. It was hysterical a few years ago when VfL Wolfsburg's team manager's name was Wolfgang Wolf!! 😂
    72
  581. your brother is very handsome and seems really sweet. he was a good sport to play along.
    72
  582. Thank you for moving here! You bring a lot of sunshine and taught me a lot about German thought and culture. What we have here is diversity. You have the spirit of our forefathers. You're a rising star here :-)
    72
  583. I am a dinosaur, being born in 1968 and went to school through the seventies and eighties. I saw the debates and cultural conflict unfolding in the news , though as a child and youth I had no comprehension. There was no real sex ed throughout my primary and secondary schools. The Health Classes that passed for it were merely reproductive biology with some STD scare tactics. I never knew anything about condoms or other forms of prophylactic measures . I learned by experience as a college student. I agree that this factual and practical education needs to be taught , at least when puberty is near at hand!
    72
  584. Great video, hearing a German prospective was great and I am so happy you used subtitles and did not dub the sound. I hate dubbing. I am old, fat white guy also find Americans very helpful but some of the treatment you got was a function of being two very attractive young women. It is just a fact. I've be stopped on the roadside with a broken motorcycle and people stop, if you two were stopped there would be a massive traffic jam. When I was young I did my share of rude cat calling. Nowadays with a daughter, I would never. It takes men about 80% of a lifetime to mature. Sigh. I hope your friends visit is nothing but fun and I also hope you chose to stay with us after school. We need you and people like you. Unrelated but relevant to me, you contribute to the standing of Germany in the eyes of some people (me for sure). As a Jew it took a long time for me to accept that Germany was anything but what is seen in the holocaust museums. I traveled to the then DDR and crossed at ionic "Checkpoint Charlie", the DDR compared to then-West Germany was like night and day. I knew that division could not stand. Again, you have contributed much to presenting modern-day Germany for what it is and is not. Congratulation on getting Giga Factory 4 in your country. Love love love Tesla

  585. Not even a month later, and your subs have already more than doubled!
    71
  586. Glückwunsch. 😊😊😊😊 Bei der Mühe, die du dir jedes mal machst, hast du dir diese ganzen Abonnenten mehr als verdient. 😊
    71
  587. What a wonderfully poised and articulate young lady. Hope that you return to make your life here. We need more people like you.
    71
  588. Small correction: Udo Jürgens was actually Austrian, not German, from Carinthia. Fun fact: he is the worldwide longest represented singer in the charts in the world: from 1958-2015. He also sang the intro for the kids TV series Tom and Jerry as well as Once upon a Time...Man in German. And a small personal anecdote: Some 18 years ago I worked at a small hut for cyclists to refresh themselves by a bike path. And wo showed up completely sweaty after a long ride? The lead singer of STS :D
    71
  589. How about the converse Feli? Ten things you did in Germany that you can't do in the US? Also, you need a "German/American (temporary)" t-shirt for green card holders like yourself!
    71
  590. I really enjoyed the video. I'm pretty sure "spiel" came to American English through Yiddish. Yiddish and German do share a lot of vocabulary.
    71
  591. I would definitely like to see Ben singing "biene Maja" in german 😁
    71
  592. Of course the grumpy misanthropic guy is the most popular. You guys aren’t beating the allegations 😅
    70
  593. Josh ist the Austrian Guy. He goes for Almdudler and Mannerschnitten in the "German" isle. = )
    70
  594.  @rakitslaurentiu5935  Since Germany 3.63% the size of United States that is still more Castles per square mile in Germany than McDonalds in U.S..
    70
  595. The "abracadabara" is what won everyone over.. :D
    70
  596. It's amusing that the word for those furry little rodents is especially difficult for non-native speakers in English, German AND French! (squirrel, Eichhörnchen, écureuil).
    70
  597. Wow! Als Gemeinschaftskunde Lehrerin hätte ich das nicht besser erklären können. Gibt ne glatte 1! 😁
    70
  598. Being a Palatine has real advantages, I could understand almost everything 😀 the language sounds like when a Palatine translates directly from Palatine into English. Now we just have to teach Feli Palatine (pällzisch schwätze), then it will also work with Pennsylvania Dutch 😉 Greetings from the Palatinate

  599. I'm in the US. I used to work for a "global corporation" and had team mates in Brazil, Europe, China, Japan, Malaysia, etc. In fact, I was the only "Yank" on my team. Only a year or so ago we were on a conference call because of some project we were working on. The subject of vast differences of "time of day" came up as it pertained to contacting each other if there were problems or concerns. The folks pretty much all said "Just hit me up on WhatsApp". I'm like "what? Is that some kind of app or something?" They all got a kick out if it.
    70
  600. Nick was dead on with his comments on the "trades" and trade school. I never had to worry about getting a car serviced. It was always done correctly! A "meister" mechanic or a "meister" hairdresser either one was trained to be truly excellent, and they received the respect that excellence deserved. Here its hit or miss and one often sees "shortcuts" taken that lead to poor results. Of course those meisters asked for a received compensation commensurate with their skill. By the way, a "master" title in many other European countries was easier to obtain and the results showed.
    70
  601. As you already mentioned in the beginning: The whole southwest of germany has many similiar words. I am living in southern Hesse and words like „Scheier“ and „Hinkel“ (often pronounced as „Hingel“) are standard words you will normally not hear in urban regions. Cool video! Keep going :)
    70
  602. I am German myself and I also grew up with these stories. When I was a child my mom used to read these stories to me and my siblings at bedtime. I actually forgot alot about it but it just came back to me while watching this video. And I have to say that as a child I did not find it cruel or anything. I just enjoyed my mom reading to us and that the protagonists got their happily ever afters. Maybe some people find it inappropriate to read this to children but I think it's just a culture thing. I know noone who was affected in a bad way because of it. And I definetely plan to read the same stories to my children when the time comes. Btw I really enjoyed this video. It made me feel really nostalgic and I think have to read those fairytales again. So thanks for that ^^

  603. ich warte auf „tschechische chef chemiker auf griechisch chinesischen passagierschiffen“
    69
  604. Thank you, Felicia! Your presentations are so upbeat and positive. As Americans our biggest weakness sometimes is in failing to realize just how good our lives are. You bring some much needed perspective! Keep posting!
    69
  605. As a North German living in America for the last 37 years I've really enjoyed your videos. I'm so glad that you do point out regional differences - and by the way, I never heard about the Christmas pickle until this video... 🙂
    69
  606. About the brutal honesty thing: I worked in the music industry for several years and there's an insider thing about "German compliments". It's really common for bands from English-speaking countries who are on tour in Germany to get proper culture shock about German honesty. It's become like an inside joke and, in some ways, kind of a rite of passage if you're a touring musician. If you mention the "German compliments" thing to a British, American or Canadian musician who's toured in Germany they will be able to tell you at least one story about a funny moment of German honesty :P.
    69
  607. You are so upbeat and positive. It is so good in these trying times.
    69
  608. I like your second personality in the Commercial!
    69
  609. Thank you for your work to provide context and understanding in a too often divided world. With political opinions moving around that are unclear and emotionally charged, your clarification is a breath of fresh air.
    69
  610. As a half-German and half-Japanese who grew up in Austria, I can confidently say, I only know that film because of my Japanese family, not the German one and definitely not because of me having grown up in Austria. 😂
    69
  611. Had no idea that Trader Joe’s was a German company.
    69
  612. As someone who lived in Germany for three years, I loved it and would move back. The people and culture were amazing!
    69
  613. I didn't know this was a thing in the US. I always thought it was a Jewish thing. In my family we're all uncircumcised because we accept our bodies as is, I think.
    69
  614. Please do the all-beer video you discussed making. I’ll soon be living in Germany and would find that very valuable
    68
  615. I stumbled onto your YT videos when you gave your response to Briggs, and I’ve been your avid fan ever since! Being of German heritage myself, I’m just fascinated w/ everything that you have to say. You are so well spoken and articulate in English, that I would never have guessed that were born elsewhere! Welcome to the USA, and I hope that you never leave! 🌹 😀
    68
  616. C B you really seem to be a typical American that never left the country and not even came close to Europe. Munich for example is one of the most safe big cities I’ve been in my life. I know that may sound unbelievable to you but a girl can go out at night alone in Munich and come back at any time and be perfectly safe.
    68
  617. It's obvious that you enjoyed that visit. You're an amazing ambassador to your country.
    68
  618. Mich macht das immer richtig sauer, wenn jemand falsche Informationen ins Internet stellt. Denn es gibt viele Menschen die es einfach glauben ohne es zu überprüfen. ( Und wer will schon jedes YouTube Video auf Richtigkeit überprüfen 😉) Danke für dieses Video.🌸 I'm getting really upset when someone puts false information on the internet. Because there are people outhere who believe this without checking the data. (And who what's to check every YouTube video data. 😉) Thanke you for this video. 🌸
    68
  619. You make such a cute couple, I am so glad that you found each other!
    67
  620. In Slovenia (also Austria) we pronounce ALDI as HOFER :D
    67
  621. Lol at 3:46 already a lie he said they have a “open door policy” I’m assuming he’s referring to the EU travel zone. But when I went to Germany they definitely checked my passport so no anyone can’t just walk into Germany lol.
    67
  622. I notice how "positive" (optimistic) you are as well. I'm curious if this was your personality prior to moving here (USA)? It's great that you post these videos, they really are informative and enjoyable to watch ... Thanks 👏👏👏
    67
  623. Challenge idea: Ben should memorize a song or a poem. This is an excellent way to learn a language because it teaches you vocab, pronunciation, and grammar. Even if you don't understand everything you are saying, you get a feeling for what "sounds right" and it can help you figure some things out for yourself, which helps things stick. I should know since I can speak 7 languages and have taught 3.
    67
  624. Fun fact. In France cheques are pretty common, too and you pay the monthly bill for kindergarden or your electricity bill via cheque. Very strange as a German....
    67
  625. “Saved my ass several times.” Not something you often hear about Taco Bell, lol. Interesting video as always, Feli. Your historical analysis is intriguing and probably a lot to it. Fun thing to wake up to!
    67
  626. Ich liebe Bernd das Brot! 🥰🍞
    66
  627. You and Ben are the best couple on YouTube! Love this channel.
    66
  628. My wife and I lived and met in Germany and have been back at least 6 times (most recently 4 weeks ago), so the cultural differences we notice are more about how Germany has changed over the last 40 years. Things like the incorporation of so many English words and expressions into the language, the widespread availability of electronic payment v. cash in recent years, the shift from stick shift to automatic transmission cars when renting, the superiority of kitchen equipment and the wider variety of food (including regional. vegetarian and lactose-free options) available in restaurants.
    66
  629. I think it is wonderful that 80 years ago we were at war with your country of origin and now you are a citizen here. Welcome!
    66
  630. Happy Anniversary, Feli! We definitely lucked out with that lottery here in the States! Congrats as well on 600,000! I've been here since 10k and it's been a real pleasure to watch. 🙂
    65
  631. Also - definitely go for re-uploading some of your best early content, Feli. A lot of people may not have watched all of your old content, and this would be a great "refresher course" on your channel!
    65
  632. I moved to the US from Australia and agree with everything you said. Americans are much friendlier to strangers and are happy to strike up a conversation with somebody they don't know. If you started talking to an Australian in an elevator they'd assume you were insane and would try to get out at the next floor!
    65
  633. "False friends"? My not-so-false-friend would call them "frenemies." 😀 Funny and interesting presentation, Feli! You got me at "die in hell." 😂
    65
  634. I hadn’t heard about any of this in the American media. Thank you for your comprehensive reporting on it!
    65
  635. I DEFINITELY use earworm 😊😊😊 I just used it today because I had a tiktok song stuck in my head 🤣
    65
  636. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed seeing and hearing your thoughts!!
    65
  637. Christopher Lee was such an interesting guy and did so much in his long life, he's definitely worth reading about
    65
  638. Another fun fact: Berlin has more Döner Kebap places than there are McDonald's and Burger King branches in all of Germany together! ;-)
    64
  639. In a world that is becoming increasingly homogenized due to globalization it's really cool to hear about traditions and practices that are quite different in other places. My mom was the daughter of German immigrants but growing up in NYC I'd never even heard of this until watching this video.
    64
  640. You can also spell Tony as Ptoughneigh.
    64
  641. Liebe Feli from Germany, riesengroßen Respekt für diesen Clip. Das ist mit Abstand das wertigste und wichtigste was du bisher produziert und gepostet hast. Gratulation dafür und danke für diese Perspektive. Supergut! LG
    64
  642. In Australia,we say kindy for kindergarten . I've never heard any Aussie say gesundheit. We understand a doppelganger to be more sinister than a mere look-alike.
    64
  643. My father was a German immigrant in the mid-fifties and went to Texas initially. I always wondered why there and now I know. There must have been even more Deutsche Sprechers there in those days. Thank you for helping me fill in my family history.
    63
  644. We visited Germany this past December and I was blown away by the amount of vegan options now versus when we visited 10 years ago. There was even vegan gingerbread in Nuremberg. 🥰
    63
  645. My dear Mister Singing Club. Sein deutsch ist verdammt gut!!!
    63
  646. “I just not ready for a relationship right now”. The ‘with you’ is left out. USA here. That’s my experience.
    63
  647. Hey Feli, there's actually a linguistic term for your #1: it's called hypercorrection! 😉
    63
  648. Very simple: Republic = not a monarchy Democracy = people vote on laws, either directly or through representatives Therefore the UK is a democracy but not a Republic, North Korea is a Republic but not a democracy, with the US being both
    63
  649. Yes, the cashiers get to sit.
    63
  650. I am really glad you enjoy living in the USA. Also I am really glad you are open in experiencing it rather than talk down on it. I see so many comments and interviews of Europeans talking crap on the US and Americans in general.
    62
  651. This was honestly amazing. I learned so much that I had no idea about prior to watching this video. I'm definitely adding Germantown and Cincinnati to my travel list. Thank you for sharing this video.
    62
  652. I really like these random difference videos. It's stuff one doesn't find in travel guides. I feel there are a lot of goods/services that are sold to Americans who don't know better. I don't know if motor oil is one of them but think it's likely the vast majority of Americans could easily double/triple the time/mileage between oil changes with no problem. It's like offering a higher octane gasoline that only about 10% of engines benefit from; it's there, it's more expensive, and many Americans think their car benefits from it when it doesn't matter.
    62
  653. Aller Anfang ist schwer, Ben! Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg.
    62
  654. Feli filled in the space I had left open in Ohio. I came from Columbus to Germany for my year after college; that was 1986. Now I have two sons and a daughter, all adults who grew up over here. And that developed for me more or less the way she tells her story -- it was the never the master plan, it's just that one thing leads to another. Moin aus Hamburg!
    62
  655. I worked with a German woman for like 10 years and she had a way of pronouncing certain words... I just smiled and nodded because I understood it. What drove her crazy is I started to unconsciously pronounce words like she did.
    62
  656. Haha lustig ist, dass ein "Spezi" im Norden eher ein "spezieller" /"komischer" bzw. "anderer" Mensch ist und kein guter Freund.. Eher ein Außenseiter. Also ein wenig negativ behaftet
    62
  657. As a Russian native gotta say we pronounce most of the German brand names correctly. The trade and cultural ties are pretty tight and Schwarzkopf, Henkel, Nivea, Miele etc are part of our lives. Makes me laugh how franco- and anglophone Canadians pronounce them.
    62
  658. In the British radio there was an Audi advertisement that was totally weird. "Audi (pronounced German) - Vorsprung durch Technik (pronounced super english x.x "wors|prung durck tecknick")" First I didn't even understand what they were saying xD
    62
  659. I love your cat!
    62
  660. The beer mug idea is your money maker. 50K is large, but buckle up. We're going to be taking this out a whole new door. You're going to be huge. Get ready.
    62
  661. "Adobe" is also a type of brick, often found in the southwestern US and Spanish for "mudbrick."
    62
  662. Polish Girl in America says: Hold my beer. W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie, i Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie, że chrząszcz brzmi tam w Szczebrzeszynie.
    62
  663. I learned the "correct" pronunciation of the word Adidas from an English woman. When she said it, I had no idea what she was talking about. Now I pronounce it the right way and people have no idea what I am talking about 😂
    62
  664. Team Nutella with butter, you just earned yourself a Maß on Patreon!
    61
  665. Yes, do more, please.
    61
  666. Great Video Topic Feli! I have wanted to hear exactly this topic discussed by a German from a German perspective. This was one of your best videos yet! Thanks so much-
    61
  667. I was a high school exchange student in PA when I was 16, I've now been living in the US again for 1.5 years as I got married here to an American. I also know quite a few people from high school that have died because of drugs. Even back then security guards would sometimes patrol the hallways of the school to make sure that no one spent too much time in the restrooms because students were known to take drugs there. That was already mind blowing to me. My husband had a ski accident 3 years ago where he broke his ankle and needed surgery. He told me that without ever being informed or without ever having consented, he woke up after the surgery, the nurse asked how he was doing, he said he was in a little bit of pain but nothing crazy, and she immediately gave him fentanyl through his IV before he even knew what was happening. He was also prescribed a narcotic for pain at home. He took it once and then caught himself thinking that he could take another one, even though he wasn't in pain yet at all or anything. Fortunately he had that awareness and as soon as he noticed that thought, he dumped the rest of the pills. It's just so crazy to me because I had a pretty similar surgery on my feet when I was still living in Germany. I got a local nerve block in my foot for the 2 days I was in the hospital. Then they just gave me ibuprofen 600mg to take home and I was absolutely fine. This whole thing is just completely insane to me...
    61
  668. I live across the river in Kentucky, and you were spot on about the pill mills. I dated a guy who went to one in Louisville (recently busted). When they closed them in eastern Kentucky, they did nothing to help those who were hooked and left them to fend for themselves. It’s insanely sad what Purdue Pharma did to Appalachia, and I don’t think in any of our lifetimes will we see a change.
    61
  669. Thank you very much. Your explanation makes perfect sense and it is very complete. I had just graduated high school when he made that speech and because I am of German descent, I was very proud of him. Now, I know the whole story and can put all the mis-information to rest. Thanks a million.
    61
  670. Da hast Du Dir echt eine Arbeit gemacht! Toll! Vielen lieben Dank!
    61
  671. Wow, seriously well produced and researched! This must have taken you forever. Very well done! Als US-Amerikaner in Deutschland habe ich mich oft gefragt, wie die Unterschiede aussehen ... keine Überraschung leider.
    60
  672. Danke für das lange Gespräch auf Deutsch! Dadurch lerne ich ganz viel, und es hilft sehr dabei, mich das normale alltägliche Sprechen anzueignen.
    60
  673. Tell Ben to try the german Dark tv series with subtitles, I learned a lot from that. Hell, most of my english was from watching tv and attempting to read Zelda text back in the day. Languages catch on fast if it's learnt through something you're interested in
    60
  674. I am American of German descent. I must say that this reading of the German language by Feli does not sound hearsh nor angry at all. I think it sounds beautiful.
    60
  675. This may be the best video you’ve ever done. Thanks for sharing their story!
    60
  676. You really did great research on Halloween.
    60
  677. It actually depends on which Bundesland you live in, in some it's a recommendation, but in others it's more enforced
    60
  678. As an American, I was actually very surprised to find out that I've been sleeping the German way this entire time. I can see how tucking in might be comfortable but I've gotta cover up my whole body xD
    59
  679. Servus! I am an American living in Deutschland, and I just started watching your videos a few days ago. I know it's not part of the household, but one of the biggest differences that I love here in Deutschland is the shopping cart system. The coin encourages people to return the cart to the cart stall, rather than leaving it in people's way, I also love how they move side to side, unlike the American shopping carts that only go forward and backward.
    59
  680. Side note: The reason why one fairy doesn't get invited to the big birthday bash in sleeping beauty ist because they only had 12 gold plates. So the king and queen decided which one of the 13 "gifts" wasn't that important. Would it have been easier to get another gold plate? Probably. However, this line of logical questioning has no place in fairytales 🤷🏼‍♀️😅.
    59
  681. So, I live in Columbus OH, just about 4 hours north of her, and I am fluent in German, Italian, and 4 other languages, including English. When we went on a trip to Germany, and more specifically to Berlin, there wasn't as much graffiti as the video says, yes, there is quite a bit, but if you live in a big city anywhere, there is going to be graffiti. And duh, Nazis aren't around anymore, these are old, hurtful stereotypes. There are idiots everywhere, not just Germany. Also just wanted to say love the channel!!
    59
  682. A Zopf in Switzerland is bread made with milk instead of water and butter. People usually eat it with butter and jams or Nutella, but it can also be used to make sandwiches.
    59
  683. I actually grew up on one of those military bases (now closed). I'm even planning my high school reunion, which will take place in Germany. On the one hand, it introduced me to German, which I later got a degree in and still use in my professional life. On the other, I felt somewhat like a colonizer. It did make me aim to be super respectful of locals and customs.
    59
  684. When you showed the lit tree with everyone singing....hit me in the feels. Would be priceless to have moments like these.
    59
  685. Not my music, not my world, but what a lovely bit of storytelling you made out of it :-)
    59
  686. Congrats. You deserve it. You give a lot of people a break from the craziness going on right now.
    58
  687. You, like so many Germans, speak American English beautifully - with more precision and clarity than a lot of native speakers do. You also have an amazing grasp of "idiomatic expressions", slang phrases that mean something totally different than their literal meanings. It is a joy to hear you say anything in English!
    58
  688. Thanks for mentioning me in your video😍! It was really interesting to hear other people's experiences! You summed up a really sensitive topic very well! Well done!
    58
  689. Hi Feli! I had the amazing opportunity to meet you in Germany October 2023, and it was truly the highlight of my trip. You're so genuine, kind, and incredibly smart—it was such a joy to see that you're exactly as wonderful in person as you are in your videos. Thank you for making the experience so memorable!
    58
  690. Yes German beer pronunciation video!!
    58
  691. I loved this video Feli! It was interesting hearing your brother and Sister in law’s impressions on America.. seems like they enjoyed themselves!
    58
  692. We don't have hot chocolate soup with whipped cream for breakfast in Rostock, but we should have 😉
    58
  693. Schade, dass nichts mit Pickel gesagt wurde. " I like eating pickles"
    58
  694. Your English is perfect - I wish my German was nearly as good
    58
  695. Congratulations on 141 K Subscribers, German Girl in America.
    58
  696. You have forgotten if and when. I'm a German native speaker and it took me a long time actually to say the right 'wenn'. 😉
    57
  697. Good to hear such a detailed recounting! I still think we (the US) got the better part of this deal! Thrilled to have you stateside, doing what you do. Hope Ben isn't too upset about the Bengals! Have a great week, Feli--another great video!
    57
  698. Very cool! Off topic but now I can see how English originated from the Germanic languages. I could pick out many words. I’ve listened to old English and it sounds very German
    57
  699. "I even tried [Skyline] once when I was drunk and starving at 3AM." Ah, no Waffle Houses in Cincinnati?
    57
  700. You looked happier than a child on Christmas when you held up that Play Button. Congratulations!
    57
  701. This week, I found Paulaner Lager & Paulaner Weizenbier Dunkel. I generally don't like wheat beers, but that dark wheat was the best wheat beer I have ever tasted.
    57
  702. I really enjoy your enthusiasm over American customs and behaviors which I have pretty much grown accustomed to. Keep up the good work, and keep SMILING !
    57
  703. Wie immer ein tolles Video, liebe Feli. ☺️ und ich muss sagen, ich finde deinen Freund total sympathisch! Er passt so gut zu dir 🙂 gerne auch mehr Vlogs dieser Art
    57
  704. I remember struggling with the word "Queue", darn, you just have to pronounce the first letter, the rest is silent :laugh:
    57
  705. High taxes but high benefits. Imagine a college degree with no debt. Imagine a serious illness or accident with worry about going bankrupt. Just dreams for many Americans.
    57
  706. Well, then I must be an American. 😂 I've always found that the jawline can be a very attractive feature. I've just always had trouble describing it to my German friends because this is so uncommon here. Until I heard it is a thing in America too, which made me feel less weird.
    57
  707. Colder because of the Atlantic Ocean? It is actually the opposite. Thanks to the gulfstream, Europe is actually warmer than many parts of the US of the same latitude. For example, New York feels more or less like your average German city when it comes to climate, but lies even further down south than Milan. Furthermore, there is no blizzards in Germany, like they are in the north of the US. Climate comparison between a big country like the US and a comparatively small country like Germany which is smaller than most US States just don't make sense.
    57
  708. Wunderbar! This was so much fun! Ben did awesome!❤
    56
  709. This makes me want to try gelato.
    56
  710. Ben responding to the dating Germans videos you did would be hilarious... as long as you're right there next to him for maximum embarassment. :D
    56
  711. It's really impressive how little German accent comes through when you speak English, especially for only having lived here for a few years! 👍
    56
  712. That was so interesting! I had a very similar experience, but in the other direction. I moved from NY to Vienna after college at about the same age as Feli to work on my Master's degree. My first two years here were like living a fantasy dream. I met the most INCREDIBLE people, had the most AMAZING fun, did things I could have never imagined doing, traveled all over Europe from the Arctic Circle in Finland, Norway and Sweden all the way down to Southern Italy. Along the way I met dukes and princes, farmers and airline pilots, tiny little grannies who regaled me with stories about WWII, saw the most curious cultural traditions (e.g. Czech women getting spanked at Easter!), ate the most delicious food, partied like it was the end of the world and met a few true-blue lifelong friends that I could never imagine living without. Just like Feli, I can honestly say that this experience has allowed me to find myself and to really open my eyes to the rest of the world, learning different languages, learning different cultures, learning different ways of thinking and of doing things - this was THE BEST decision I've ever made, period! That was 20 years ago and I'm still here, and still loving it. I love that Vienna offers all the major conveniences but without any of the hassle of NY. People keep asking me if I'll ever return to NY, and I honestly don't have an answer. I never actually planned to stay here as long as I did, it just happened. But I love the European culture and way of life and can't see myself returning to the US anytime soon. So don't be surprised Feli, if you find yourself still living in Cincinnati 20 years from now...😉
    56
  713. "Handy" ist nicht mal vom Englischen abgeleitet, sondern vom Schwäbischen "Hän' die kein Kabel".
    56
  714. I picked this over a game theory vid. man this girl is awesome!
    56
  715. Thank you for your kind words about the USA. I’m sure Germany is a terrific place as well; it must be since you are from there. You are a great ambassador for Germany.
    56
  716. You should have your brother in your videos more often. He comes across on camera as sincere and real.
    56
  717. Der Bayerische Rundfunk berichtet jedes Jahr vom Oktoberfest, aber, Feli: Deine Oktoberfest-Doku ist bei Weitem die beste! Danke dafür und schöne Grüße aus der Oberpfalz.
    56
  718. Awwe poor Ernie 💔 im so sad his siblings didn’t make it but what a fighter he is chasing after the boat 🚤 I’m so glad your bf was there to save him and adopt him ♥️
    56
  719. As always, well worth the wait! The effort you put in and the professionalism is just astounding! Keep up the excellent work, Feli and Ben! Have a Merry Christmas and a good slide! 🙂
    56
  720. Some other words. “Deer and dear”, and It’s not “fine” to get a “fine”. 😱
    56
  721. Thank you for being awesome Feli. Having been a vegan for health reasons for 10 years now in the US, thank you for putting this together. Remember the next time someone asks "Where do you get your protein?" in the US use my come back with is "Where do you get your fiber and have you had a good bowel movement lately?" That normally shuts them up. See you at the Patreon live Q&A.
    56
  722. Glad to see your wrist is healing up nicely.
    55
  723. If you go to NYC, where there lot's of people of various nationalities and cultures, you find the breads, pastries and other baked goods that are similar to European countries. I prefer the European style myself.
    55
  724. "Do most Germans travel"? The person asking this question has probably never been at any popular tourist destination...
    55
  725. I learned about the German way of making the bed when I lived in Germany and I love it! Now I am back in the US, and make all the beds in my house the same way. Since I sew, I used my flat sheets to make duvet covers for my duvets. My family likes how comfortable it is, and how easily it is to make the bed in the morning. I also made my bed frame into a sled bed to only use the mattress instead of having a boxspring bed.
    55
  726. Minor correction. Trump served as president from 2017 to 2021. Not 2016 to 2020. Continue.
    55
  727. Again, I appreciate not only learning pronunciation differences, but also the history behind these. Thanks!
    55
  728. Future video idea: What is it like to own a car in the USA compared to Germany? Taxes, insurance, fuel prices, mandatory government checks, parking etc...
    55
  729. Well put. Danke für diese internationale Version der Awareness-Schaffung.
    55
  730. I think what most Americans think German sound like is equivalent to what Germans would think English would sound like if all they'd ever heard was Drill Sergeants or Military types. I lived near Hanau in the US Army, and found German to actually be quite pleasant! (Ich war Hubschraubermechaniker)
    55
  731. Informative and balanced. Thanks, SuperFeli.
    55
  732. Josh is like my goal in speaking german. He can speak hella fast, it feels like it's so natural to him at this point
    54
  733. I don’t think it’s been appropriately called out that Timo is a good looking guy!
    54
  734. Feli, richtig guter Content! Danke Dir! ❤
    54
  735. Da fehlt eins ;) Bekommen - become. Eine Klassenkameradin berichtete mal von ihren Sommerferien und sagte den legendären Satz „...and then I became a hotdog!“ 😂
    54
  736. Bei "Brand" hab' ich erst an den Durst gedacht, den man hat, wenn man durch Alkohol dehydriert wurde😅 Und ja, ich sollte mein Leben überdenken
    54
  737. I stumbled upon this channel yesterday; my family on my mother's side is of German ancestry, and I've learned more about the culture, and my heritage, in the last twenty-four hours than I have in thirty plus years. So, danke schön!
    54
  738. It's refreshing to listen to Germans speaking. Hearing the two of you makes me think back to when I lived in Weilbach near Wiesbaden back in the 70s. I was only a child back then, but I was born in Germany, went to school there for a few years, but moved to the US before I could ever get to any higher learning. So, I have a little trouble following every word you speak, but they all sound so familiar, and I can mostly understand what you are trying to portray. I'm guessing that if I were to visit Germany for about two months, I would speak pretty fluently again, with a limited vocabulary, though. Thanks for the insights!
    54
  739. Love German Girl in America. True statement - also American's don't walk anywhere because it's too dangerous! Too many cars, too big 6 lane roads, cars don't even look for cyclists or pedestrians. Everything is bigger here, our butts are bigger too because of this stupidity.
    53
  740. Feli, you summarized the current situation very well for non-German viewers, but the situation keeps changing almost daily as of Nov 20th 2022, and I'm not sure where it will lead to. I'm heating with wood (not pellets, but REAL wood you have to chop), and prices have gone up threefold or more compared to last year's, if you can get any dry wood at all. And saving energy, even without a crisis, I already did what I could. All my lighting is based on LEDs, and why use a big screen TV if a 15" laptop screen will do? There's a HUGE difference between 200 watts and 35. And one thing's for sure, I won't turn off my fridge and put my groceries outside for natural cooling. I have cats, my sausages would be gone in a minute. (Yes, they know how to open a box.) I'm trying to make the best out of a bad situation, and I guess that's what everyone does. Let's see how it works out, and don't forget the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Don't panic! And, honestly, I'm fed up with panicking. The pandemic crisis, the war crisis, now the energy crisis, what will come next? I think many Germans are on the brink of a psychological crisis hearing all the bad news but I try not to [insert hysterical laughter here].
    53
  741. As a Swiss I approve of Timo's sweater 😏🥳
    53
  742. Very interesting! My daughter is now living in Germany, teaching English and married to a German, and although she loves it there, she has pointed out some of these things, in reverse! She is a very open and friendly person, so the general 'reserve and directness' of most Germans she meets has been a difficulty for her and she's had to 'toughen up' and try to accept it, even though she understands it is just a cultural difference of how we are raised. - Thank you for your insightful videos, and Happy New Year to you ~ Susan
    53
  743. Here in Norway, "Schlager" is written "Slager" (so there's no "sch" sound, just an "S" sound), but here, it just refers to a "hit" instead of a separate genre of music. So one would say "Mamma Mia (ABBA song) was a real slager".
    53
  744. Such great news! Even though I'm mostly here for the cultural videos, I definitely love the idea of seeing reaction videos where we get to find out Ben's take on things! Plus, you two have good on-screen chemistry together, so more collaborative videos on a variety of topics would be great!
    53
  745. I have to figure out a way to work "pig dog" into everyday conversation. Thanks for making me chuckle today, Feli! I downloaded your app and look forward to using it!
    53
  746. I was stationed in Swabisch Gmund during the time the Wall came down and Germany won the world cup and I have to say it was the best time in my life. I love Germany, I love the people and the country is BEEEAUTAFUL!!! I also found that the language, believe it or not, is very easy to learn. Very similar to English. If you can get around the different grammar rules you can pick up the vocabulary quickly if you put in the effort.
    53
  747. There is also a german radio station that releases german news slowly spoken. Great source for beginners imo https://m.dw.com/de/deutsch-lernen/nachrichten/s-8030 Also there really should be a german word for road range. Can we make one up?
    53
  748. Abartig, so spät gelernt und absolut perfekt, selbst die Grammatik. Auf der Straße würde man nicht merken, dass man mit einem Amerikaner spricht. Ich habe einen bekannten, der seit dreißig Jahren in Deutschland wohnt, und man hört seine Herkunft beim ersten Satz raus.
    53
  749. Feli, I think you’re an incredible ambassador between the two cultures. It’s been over 35 years since I had German in school & yours is one of my main “go to” sights for information & to try to stay somewhat familiar with the language. Thank you! I hope to visit Germany one day & see how well I can make it through daily activities.
    53
  750. Thank you for these highly informative videos on sensitive topics, Feli. I love your lighter videos such as how to pronounce German beer names (especially since I finally made it to Oktoberfest last year), but this type of video is hughly important right now.
    53
  751. Half the time I forget that the speed limit in Europe automatically drops when you enter a city, whether it's posted or not. Thankfully I've always had a European with me to remind me. If I ever drive on my own I'm SO going to get a ticket!
    52
  752. Ihr seid beide sehr talentiert, sie spricht perfekt englisch und er spricht perfekt deutsch, was fast noch unglaubliche ist 😀
    52
  753. I did not realize that Barbara goes international viral and now i'm happy for bodo and marti! Two very likeable guys!
    52
  754. I love when Josh is in your videos!
    52
  755. french fries. they are from belgium
    52
  756. Seeing people struggle to say things they don't have words for gives me schadenfreude.
    52
  757. This is just excellent content. What a terrific interview with the consulate. Well done Feli. I very much enjoyed this and you should be so proud of the work!
    52
  758. I hope you keep up YouTube when you and Ben move to Germany. I’m very interested in seeing videos from that perspective. Also, I think “stinginess” is pronounced like a drinking “binge” not like a bee “sting.”
    52
  759. Congrats on the 200k!
    52
  760. I often get confused by "Notausgang". My first attempt at translation is usually “not an exit” before I remember it means “emergency exit”.
    52
  761. Great news! BTW, in Greece they say "It's all Chinese to me". Yes it is true!
    51
  762. 25.000 castles,yes BUT 90% of them only exist with their names,no building to be seen only ruins.Actualy just around 10% (thats around 2500) still exist and can be visited,some of them are 100% restored as they was when they been built.
    51
  763. Here's an interesting topic. What sounds do animals make in other languages. For example, pigs go "oink", dogs go "bow wow" or "ruff", cats go "meow" sheep go "baah" etc. Different languages have different animal sounds.
    51
  764. ​ @FelifromGermany  Absolut! Und sie werden so schnell erwachsen... 😉
    51
  765. Yeah, that "Swedish" guy sure isn't Swedish. :p He kinda compresses the words. And "säckväv" isn't a dolly, it's burlap. Dolly in Swedish is "säckkärra". In fact, most of the "Swedish" words are completely wrong. Nipple is "bröstvårta" in Swedish, again similar to the german word. And shaver is "rakapparat", once again similar to the german word. I'm wondering if they aren't faking the Swedish words for comic effect.
    51
  766. You rock! I love how you say what you think. And you are pretty much right on with it all. I lived in Germany for 9 years. Miss it all the time. Especially the pfand on bottles and cans.
    51
  767. 3:05 Yes! I would absolutely buy a beer mug or stein with your logo on it!
    51
  768. My father in law was German and he did every single example you portrayed. Lol The kids loved teasing Opa about his accent. Lol
    51
  769. Regarding nudity and kids: in Germany it’s common for babies and toddlers to wear just swim bottoms in pools, even up to elementary school age, whereas in the US baby girls are often out in ridiculous bikini tops! I remember my daughter being considered a boy just because she wore just swim bottoms as a toddler! That of course continues into adulthood where Americans find it scandalous that European men wear “speedos” instead of board shorts. Also, there was always the latent fear that the neighbors would call child protective services when we had our toddlers play in the kiddie pool in our own backyard. And then there are the stories of photo printing places calling the police for suspected child pornography of harmless photos of naked toddlers. I also have heard stories of US families where the only the parent of the same sex would bathe their toddlers, or where kids have never seen their parents naked. All things unthinkable in Germany.
    51
  770. I think America won the lottery as well! Congratulations 🎉🎉👏
    51
  771. So I asked all of my male friends (Germans and Austrians) and all of them told me this: at home they sit, in public toilets they stand (but this depends on the hygene).
    50
  772. I think your American experience is a reflection of the energy you put out into the world. You are friendly, positive, and enthusiastic and people tend to respond favorably to those characteristics. I know the reason I started watching your videos (along with being a local to tri state area) was you are upbeat on a platform that too often is filled with anger. It is great to see your success and I hope you get to 100K subscribers by the end of 2020.
    50
  773. Great video, Feli! I think you touched on a lot of good points. I think German culture is interesting (I love authentic German recipes. My dad's great-grandmother was from Germany). But getting back to your video, your breakdown of how the view of a language can be distorted was fascinating. I think another prime example where German sounds beautiful is "Stille Nacht" (Silent Night). It sounds pretty and tranquil in English, but it sounds amazing in German. The fact it was originally written in German and the story behind the song also makes it incredible. Great job!
    50
  774. It's very confusing but very interesting how Germany does their schooling.
    50
  775. I’m so surprised by how similar those brands sounds like in German and Chinese.
    50
  776. I don't think Briggs knows much about the US too, especially about the weather : D He also hasn't marked that the whole world observed increase in alt-right followers, even in the US, come on, be accurate man. Basing on his numbers I would not go to the US because the alt-right have guns in there, so it's more scary : D That whole video was super cringey. I applaud you for keeping your calm : ) Love from your eastern neighbor in Europe : )
    50
  777. We keep our cats indoors because there are lots of wild animals like Coyotes that will hurt your cat. Generally I've had indoors/outdoors cats. We try to keep them indoors at night.
    50
  778. My English teacher once said "TOO and TO are TWO different words"
    50
  779. Love the new intro.
    50
  780. „Zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen“ „To kill two birds with one stone“ 😅
    50
  781. Something about Germany that blew my mind the memory of WWII in Germany. Back in the early 2000s I traveled to Munich and went to a beer garden in Concordia Park. On wall of the beer garden was a large memorial to the employees of the beer garden who were killed in WWI. It was made out of marble and it had a carving of a German helmet and an Iron Cross and all of the names, about 20 of them, were carved into the marble with the date they were killed and some even had the unit they served with carved as well. There was also a memorial to the beer garden employees who were killed during WWII. This memorial was very different. This memorial was made out of metal, perhaps copper, and it was shaped into an oval. It was much smaller and only had the dates "1939-1945" painted on it along with only the names of the killed employees. No dates of death or the units the employees served with were on the memorial. This memorial also only had 5 or 6 names on it. I found the difference between the two memorials and the very different ways the Germans remember WWI and WWII to be facinating.
    50
  782. Wow. I’ve encountered more than a few Bavarian english speakers in the United States, most have a very noticeable accent. While speaking English, it’s as if she traded it in for an almost straight midwestern accent. It’s quite impressive really.
    50
  783. It’s been my goal to have a semester abroad in Germany for the last 4 years. Should have gone this fall but it got Covid-ed. Thank you for the tips hopefully I can use these if I go this upcoming fall 😁.
    49
  784. Ben is a really nice guy. I'm glad that you've found each other, you seem to match very well and I wish you all the best for your relationship.
    49
  785. I'd never evern considered that the different childhoods would be a bad thing! I'm from the US but in the UK and married an English guy - I moved here 9 years ago and met him about 6 months in, but after nearly a decade we still find random stuff the other has never heard of and get to enjoy it/laugh at it/realise how actualyl bizarre it is together! (Just last week I ended up googling Apple Jacks commercials. . . he showed me a Princess Diana flavoured soda from the 90s)
    49
  786. It's funny, my friends and I in the US always poke fun at the way our immigrant (Spanish speaking) parents pronounce Aldi, only to realize they have been pronouncing it correctly this whole time 😂....Actually most of these brands are more correctly pronounced by native Spanish speakers
    49
  787. Since I took German in High School, I've generally pronounced most of them correctly. However, I never knew that Trader Joe's originated from Aldi North! Pretty interesting!
    49
  788. Have always been happy for you both, but this took my appreciation of your relationship to an entirely new level. 💛💛💛
    49
  789. Just like EVERYONE else .. Marriage! Baby! ... errr ... no, Train Station :P
    49
  790. “Prosit” is Latin for “may it benefit you.”
    49
  791. Tja, dann wirds wohl Zeit für Part 3 wa? :D
    49
  792. More! Half way through I realized that I hadn't stopped smiling since the intro. So captivating. Like I mentioned in the comments of Part 1, the chemistry is so good, and your shared passion for language produces a video that is, for me, the highest form of InfoTainment. Loved it. You talked about anger and cursing, but how about love and compliments. Which language do you prefer using for compliments, or pick up lines? And which sounds the best when trying to share those feelings? #AkronNative in Houston
    49
  793. Rocking the mustache there, Felicia!

  794. A patreon page could help with upgrading, enlarging hardware, or extra items or upgrades. Selling Merchandise could also help support your channel.
    48
  795. One of my favorite sayings regarding our spelling rules: "I before E except after C. Disproven by Science"
    48
  796. I found that there was more emphasis on flavor than on sweetness in the German ice cream and desserts.
    48
  797. I have known about Sophie Scholl for a long time, and I cite her as an example of what an authoritarian regime is capable of doing, with full complicity by courts of law.
    48
  798. A mistake I have noticed from German speakers is using the word "This" for objects that are far away. "This ball is on the other side of the room." instead of "That ball is on the other side of the room."
    48
  799. Answer to your lounge question: Unfortunately you wouldn’t have been able to get into the Polaris lounge since you only got upgraded to domestic first class on the first flight. By the way I am a pilot and I fly the same type of plane you were on for CVG-EWR. I’m also a U.S./German dual citizen and this video reminded me of the many trips I used to make to Frankfurt to visit my grandparents. Great video!
    48
  800. Danke, dass du deine Reichweite nutzt um darüber zu berichten❤ stand with the victims
    48
  801. Wenn ich die amerikanische Aussprache von manchen Marken höre, kriege ich die Krätze 😂
    48
  802. Never realized i'm so interested in driving laws before
    48
  803. I haven't known so far, that May 1st isn't called "Tag der Arbeit" in my home state NRW. Thank you Feli for making me a little smarter.
    48
  804. As I often do, I listen to your videos while doing household chores and such. But I had to run to my computer and check on what I heard at 25:59! Definitely grabbed my ear. By the way, I'm only at about the halfway point, but I might as well say right now that this has been a very informative and (thus far) incredibly balanced depiction of the parties. At least to this point in the video, I don't think anyone could say that your personal politics have affected your presentation.
    48
  805. You two seem so good together and for each other....I hope the best for you both.
    48
  806. I would certainly be interested in what German breakfasts are like...
    48
  807. My German husband and I just celebrated our second wedding anniversary and I've been trying to learn our whole relationship, AND we live in Munich, but I still can't speak very well! Reading is better, comprehension is okay, but speaking spontaneously is just so hard! And the dative is just the end of me! But it's all worth it for love. Good luck Ben, from one Ohioan (Toledo) to another :) Something I've always done to keep myself in "German mode" is to write the grocery lists in German. It's easy, not intimidating, and it keeps you thinking about the language.
    48
  808. Big fan of yours but first time giving feedback. Your videos are all great but what makes this one even more valuable is the contrast of your experience and expertise of being a German native and then i believe your boyfriends feedback who kind of represents many of us if we went over there. I have visited and love Munich but never for Oktoberfest. Keep up the great videos
    48
  809. I'm not a fan or very in tune with this particular band but sadly this has always been a thing with rock stars. People act like it's more common now than in the past but I think victims are just more willing to talk now. Thanks for your thorough approach to controversial topics. Have a great week, Feli!
    48
  810. Yeah, I remember that one. Parents buttering you up with candy, making it seem like school's going to be super exciting. I fell for that one too, for about a day or two...😁
    47
  811. Get well soon! Broken wrist is super annoying especially on your dominant side, but you seem to manage really well! Looking forward to hearing about more of your hidden talents 🤣
    47
  812. As a linguist buy trade and by nature, I just LOVE these word videos! Thanks everyone, that was fun!
    47
  813. Umlaut help?? YES finally! I have no idea how to pronounce those, I usually end up sounding like a dying moose or something...
    46
  814. We're happy you're here :]
    46
  815. When you just learned that Netflix has shows that have limited access depending on the location of your IP address...
    46
  816. I like your little clap during Sandra's speech lol
    46
  817. We also need to look at the material conditions and lack of security nets , medical care or social connections that make people want to feel no pain. The society is sick and the drug use is just a symptom of out of control capitalism.

  818. Giiirl that intro was sick :P

  819. Feli, as a German-American from Milwaukee, I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. When I was going to Gymnasium in Braunschweig, our history teacher said that Coca-Cola created Santa Claus as we see him today. Boy, was he wrong! Vielen herzlichen Dank für alle tolle Videos!

  820. When you got to number 9 “NOT BELIEVING IN FACTS” I immediately went to the subscribe button. I’m an American I I can’t believe how many Americans delude themselves about simple verifiable facts.

  821. Feli Thank you for a very informative video. Hard times indeed, here in Northern Ireland we are having pretty much the same problems, high cost of gas,electricity and petrol and diesel. We also have a problem with the high cost of home heating oil, which is used here much more than in England,Scotland or Wales. The government is giving support of £400 of our home energy prices, but because our assembly is stalled because of problems with the NI protocol we don't know yet how or when we will be getting it.

  822. No way, I’ve been saying Audi the German way and I was getting corrected constantly. Jokes on them! Hahaha
    45
  823. Never clicked on a video so fast and especially since I plan on going to Germany when we can fly again

  824. My daughter lived in Berlin and that part of German for a couple of years -- she's fairly fluent in Germany. One day I said, "Servus" to her and she looked at me like I was absolutely nuts.... :-)

  825. Lol I always find these double takes i entertaining 🤣

  826. ::immediately starts building an Amazon shopping list:: Love these types of videos! ❤️

  827. I've been involved with the music industry for several years, and I can say that this was 100% known about. I have several friends who knew about what was going on, and I have seen a private comment from a HUGE music producer based in Germany who said that he was surprised that people were amazed that Till was doing this. I am also not surprised that Peter's partner has been supporting Till's victims. Peter Tagtgren is very straight-on and super professional with everything he does with his work. He actually bought AN ENTIRE VILLAGE in Sweden several years ago (he's the unofficial 'mayor' of the village, because he owns all the buildings there and all the residents pay him rent) and moved his entire life away from his peers, because he values his work more than partying and social politics (he wanted as much space as possible for his own studio - he's a very in-demand music producer in Sweden, specialising in rock and metal productions). Peter and his other half would definitely have NOT approved of Till's actions, and I am not surprised now that he refuses to work with him anymore. Another interesting thing to note here is that Sophia Thomalla was MARRIED to the frontman of Combichrist (the band Joe Letz is a part of) for some time after she ended her partnership with Till. So, while she's no longer dating Till, she's still somewhat connected to his inner circle even many years later. In other words, she has a personal incentive to defend him. Yet another interesting thing is that Emigrate (Richard's side project) did a song with Marylin Manson some years ago. When the Manson allegations came out, he re-recorded the song without Manson and re-released it without making any kind of marketing or PR buzz about it at all. Judge that how you wish, but to me that's a fairly strong statement about how that particular member feels about other people in the industry who abuse and exploit women.

  828. I can totally understand you let Americans pronounce your name the English way. Personally I have no problem different nationalities adapting my name to their mother tongue's accent. Especially when I am abroad I feel instantly more integrated when I get a "new version" of my name. :)
    44
  829. You have definitely KILLED the idea that the average German woman is an unattractive, manly ogre. You're absolutely beautiful.

  830. I was the third person in our local Aldi for its grand opening. My youngest daughter has worked for Aldi for over five years now. We are temporarily staying in Kansas helping my mother in law and unfortunately I can’t get Winking Owl wine here like I could in Texas. All they’re allowed to sell here is beer. This was a fun episode for me, thank you.
    44
  831. As someone who started learning German about 6 months ago, I really wish I had this video back then. I learned more in this eleven minute video than I did in the first 3 months of my German class. Danke schön!!
    44
  832. What about "Star Trek" ("Raumschiff Enterprise")? Ich bin seit über 30 Jahre "Star Trek"- Fan und die Serien müssen erwähnt werden! Die Original - Serie startete hier in Deutschland 1972 im ZDF!
    44
  833. Thanks for posting your research, something the politicians do not do before speaking out.
    44
  834. Definitely start a patreon page. There might be fans who just want to help you out. Why not?
    44
  835. Challenge for Ben: A video conference with Feli’s friends in Germany, und nur Deutsch sprechen! To Feli, I really like the app but wish it had placement or testing functionality, A1, A2, etc.

  836. Bathroom faucets are widely available in the US in either style--single-handle faucets are very common, and separate handles aren't necessarily an older style. Walk through the plumbing department at Home Depot, and you'll see lots of both. Also, electric vx. gas stoves tend to vary by region in the US. In some areas one is more economical than the other.. You commented on the seals around doors and windows. I think the seal (often called "weather strip" or "weather seal") in the US are part of the frame, rather than part of the door or window. We seal them well, because both heating and AC are expensive. I enjoy your videos--keep it up!
    44
  837. Ich liebe "verschlimmbessern" 😁

  838. Congrats! You can't go wrong with a man who loves cats.
    43
  839. I love your kitties! Showing old fashioned kitchens with a table made me flash-back to my Grandmother’s house. Grandma was a widow and when we came over we always ate at her kitchen table. She did have a formal dining room that was used during holiday meals with the entire family. Alas, the kids still ate in the kitchen and the adults in the dining room. That was nearly 70 years ago when our houses were much smaller. PS: the one advantage to gas stoves is that we still had heat if the power went out. Of course, we had to crack the window to circulate fresh air. Fortunately, power outages were rare back then!
    43
  840. I spent some time in Stuttgart when I worked for Bosch. I always felt welcome and would move there in a heartbeat if my family situation allowed for it. Thanks for a fun video!

  841. That isn’t the yellow of the egg.😂

  842. I live in Boston area. I had no idea that others parts of USA had this experience. I graduated in the 90's and my sex ed was very similar to your experience in Germany. It was never mentioned by the school to be married before having sex or anything along those lines. I actually feel our sex ed was very thorough. My boys are in 5th and 8th grade and started sex Ed in 4th grade. They had to learn about menstrual cycles as well. There is an option to opt-out of sex Ed but that is not common. I've actually never heard of anyone being "opted-out". So strange that we have full on sex ed from 4th grade until 12th but there are other areas that handle it so differently. Hearing these Americans give their experiences is so strange-and I did 4 years in catholic school as well.
    43
  843. Wenn Robben hinter Robben robben, robben Robben Robben nach. Weder Bremer noch Berner oder Essener Esel essen Brennnesseln. Gibst du Opi Opium, bringt Opium Opi um.

  844. 😂😂😂😂 that intro tho. Haha.
    43
  845. YES PLEASE talk about German sayings and idioms in a future video!
    43
  846. Very cool comparisons. As a US citizen, I've been to Germany for business, so I can understand and appreciate many of these differences. It would be great to combine all of the best features from both countries, which is what it appears that you are doing here in the US.
    43
  847. Hey Feli, I'm from Israel, yesterday was the Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. Thank you for talking and opening up about this highly important topic. It was very interesting and amazing to listen to you talk about this topic from your perspective, being from Germany. Looking at the reality in Israel today - the nonstop terror attacks against civilians that are have been ongoing for over than 7 decades, makes it even harder emotionally to think about the reality of Jews in the Holocaust. The bloody and horrifying reality we are forced to deal with daily, does not supposed to exist, especially after the tremendous effort Jews (many were Holocaust survivors) that build Israel through so many war and struggles. On top of that we are seeing and dealing with damaging and unbelievable fake news that are being spread about Israel. Here in Israel, at 11th grade there is a trip to Poland to educate and actually see the horrible landmarks at which it all occurred (even though it can be very beautiful there to the point it's even harder to imagine the horror). I was recently in Germany actually, and it was so surreal to hear German and actually be in this beautiful country, remembering sometimes that it was all so dark just some 78 years ago. Thank you again❤ Love you from Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱 you are great, love you videos so much♥️
    43
  848. Omg yes the 1 7 difference! I once stayed at a hostel in München and returned to the front desk at least twice because I thought the key card wasn‘t working. Turned out I was just at the wrong room because the 1 looked like a 7 to me. 🙃
    43
  849. You just cracked 30K subs yesterday? You're almost at 40K right now! Wow
    42
  850. I really enjoyed when you took combined words and highlighted the various words inside them and demystified them for us non-native speakers. You didn't highlight in the final section, I would love you to please take some common words and highlight sections. It really helps me. For example, your explanation of Entschuldigung was really great and helped me understand several words. Please do a video like that. <3
    42
  851. I vote YES to a part 2 What I did in Germany that I've never done in America... (4 years in Germany while in Army)... Ride in a Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW (all were Taxis). In fact, my first day in Germany (Frankfort) I spotted Mercedes taxis and thought "Germans are so rich!"
    42
  852. Who the heck is disliking this video? Seems like there are people that intentionally set out just to dislike stuff, no matter what it is.
    42
  853. Once this virus thing is over you could totally partner with a travel firm and plan German vacation packages for viewers. All the in's & out's on places to go, see, eat, etc.
    42
  854. Feli, aus dem Westallgäu ein herzliches "vergelt's Gott" dafür, dass du wenigstens ein paar deiner neuen Landsleute differentierteres Betrachten ermöglichst!
    42
  855. The good side, the bad side and I was so disappointed you didn't finish that with "the ugly side"! Shows my age...
    42
  856. Your Danish accent when pronouncing "Tyskland" was really good!
    42
  857. My daughter participates in Kindertanz here in St. Louis and she has really gravitated toward the culture! My grandfather is from Germany, so we bring him along to some of the festivals and activities put on by our cultural society, like Maifest, kirchweifest, oktoberfest etc. and we've really met some fantastic people. Her and I dabble in Duolingo as a hobby. Great video! Id like to check some of Chicago's events out! I know some Chicago members have come to St Louis in the past for a few things.
    42
  858. Buy a mini mouse either USB or bluetooth. You'll be able to use it with just your fingers.

  859. Oh wow, i had no idea that some americans think that he emberassed himself with that speech..! Thank you for this specific information about this whole situation feli! Hope you are having a wonderful day :) Love your videos ! Ne ernsthaft, ich hatte echt absolut keine Ahnung dass das teilweise so gesehen wird😂 danke für die ausführliche Erklärung !
    42
  860. This was by far the most reasonable and balanced video I’ve seen on the topic. Amazing job, Feli! :)
    42
  861. Hi Feli, I've been watching your channel for a few years and I believe that this is your best video yet. I was in the hospital several years ago and was prescribed "Oxy Cotton Candy" after surgery for pain management. By the third dose I realized that a couple of those and a cup of coffee in the morning would make for a real fine day. It was shocking to see just how many doses they wrote the prescription for when I was discharged. I stopped after the third dose but I completely understand how people can fall victim to this stuff, it is so easy. THANK YOU for using your platform to raise awareness to this epidemic! Perhaps you may have just saved the lives of some of your subscribers.
    42
  862. Your friend is so lovely 😊
    42
  863. Speaking as a British immigrant in Germany who has bought houses in both countries, I think you missed the biggest reason: buying in Germany has huge transaction costs. Buying my house here in Germany cost us over €30k in costs - taxes, estate agent fees, Notar, etc. - about 12% of the price of the house. In the UK, my first house cost me about £1k, around 1.5% of the price. Even the cost of both buying and selling when I moved was under £3k, or 3% of the price of the house I was buying. When you're straight up losing that much money to move, moving is a much bigger deal. In the UK you can move every two or three years and still come out ahead. I can't do that in Germany. This is also reflected in the way the mortgages work. I had a two year discounted deal on my UK mortgage, in Germany I have a ten year fixed rate and that was just the default. I'm not sure I've ever seen ten year fixed in the UK. Up to 5 is normal, but you pay a substantial markup for it.

    41
  866. I have never studied German before, yet this kept being recommended for me . I actually enjoyed it and could understand some of the German without subtitles 🤯. I enjoyed it very much 👌, just subscribed and maybe I should make time in the future and just learn the language 🤔.
    41
  867. Oh my gosh I am so excited about your big reveal! Happy for you both and you are so good together. Ben time to start learning German. :) :) I am from Ohio and was Married to my German Husband for 25 years. I knew no German at the start either. Happy Day!!
    41
  868. Liebe Feli, beim Wort Eisendrache (hab ich vorher noch nie gehört) steckt doch sicher das Wort Eisen drin, sonst wäre es doch der Eisdrache. Die Hälfte der deutschen Nachnamen habe ich hier noch nie gehört. Sind die damals alle ausgewandert und jetzt ist keiner mehr hier? By the way, deine Videos sind erfrischend unterhaltsam, ich freue mich immer riesig wenn ein neues kommt. Vielen Dank dafür.
    41
  869. Dying at 11:24, was in mid sip of my water. Damn you! Lol
    41
  870. I am so glad to hear this. Congratulations! As an American citizen, I welcome you here with open arms.
    41
  871. I love this! I'm saving for the next time someone tells me "German sounds harsh" - My answer (I'm a native American speaker) has always been to stop watching German portray from WWII because it is always harsh and German isn't actually spoken that way
    41
  872. You may call that transition cheesy, Ben. I think it's terrific how the two of you appeared not to move at all. Well done!
    41
  873. Which birthday is the most important? Well, the older you get, the more important your next birthday becomes. :)

  874. 2 gorgeous women!

  875. Es macht echt Spaß euch beiden zuzusehen, man merkt auch das es euch tatsächlich genauso viel Spaß macht, schön das ihr auch sonst soviel lacht, steckt einen ja richtig an, 🤭😂😂😂 ein sehr schöne Abwechslung, sehr unterhaltsam.☺️😁😂 Tolle Idee sowas zu machen. Cheers 🍻

  876. "The list of false friends is endless." Yes, I found that out the hard way in my life.

  877. If Feli had a dollar for everyone who thought "they are getting married" or "they're engaged" I'm sure she'd have 100k+ dollars lol one for every subscriber

  878. As a university Equal Employment Opportunity reviewer, we collect this data in accordance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In this act, the United States Federal Government is trying to correct the affects of past discrimination in housing, employment, and educational law. In the United States, the after affects of segregation are still felt throughout the society and each state is asked to correct this in some manner. Here are some differences in application. In California, disaggregated population statistics are the most diverse. This ensures that past discrimination between different Asian populations are recognized (Asian Americans of Chinese, Japanese and Korean descents are not faced with the level of discrimination that Vietnamese, Filipinos, and Hmong face) (I used to work in California). In Pennsylvania, where I worked in HR in the mid 2010, the simple racial categorization that you show is employed in examining the degree of services provided in the population. I now work in Georgia, where there is a concerted effort to erase racial categorization because there is a believe that reverse racism against white populations is a strong political beliefe, even though the statistics do not prove this belief. However a state employs data collection largely determines federal funds allocations to the state. It is a complicated matter. There are no simple solutions to past legal discrimination/segregation in the United States.

  879. Very well explained I never thought JFK got it wrong.

  881. I'm only about half way through the video, but I feel like freedom is felt very unequally in the US. If you are young (or elderly or disabled), poor, in poor health, live far from the city center, etc. you are restricted in many more ways than people in similar circumstances in a country that has workers rights, healthcare, and good urban design / public transit. The US can be an extremely isolating and lonely place and money plays a huge role in the amount of activities you can engage in & human connections you can make. While the rich in all countries have more freedoms than the rest of society, I think the disparity is far greater in the US than elsewhere. Even the wealthy could benefit from a change in structure to our country because even they lose time to traffic & bureaucracy. I couldn't believe how free I felt on a working holiday in Melbourne, Australia just because I could take the trams everywhere and my taxes were automatically deducted from my pay check. I would gladly trade all the little headaches that add up to a lot in the US for shops being closed on Sunday in Germany. Hope to one day make it to Europe on a working / spousal visa.
    40
  882. I read recently about a place in Virginia so isolated that they still speak English like it was spoken in the 1700s. Crazy to think. Very interesting video as always, Feli!
    40
  883. Disney false stereotypes? Nah.
    40
  884. I wish declawing was illegal.
    40
  885. This is perfect as I am leaving tomorrow to live in Germany as an American!
    39
  886. Yay! A forty minute reaction video from Feli! Thanks for brightening my evening and hope you're having fun in Germany! I did find one Easter Egg and use it to order a coffee mug! 🙂
    39
  887. I like watching Brigg's videos, he makes more fun videos and should be taken lightly. It seemed like you probably put more work into the video than he did. Lol!! You are charming.... I don't how many times i wanted to high five or laugh with you during this video.
    39
  888. Ihre Aussprach ist wie bei uns in Rheinhessen. Auch ihr „gekennt“ ist ganz üblich in unserem Dialekt
    39
  889. Danke!
    39
  890. I have photos from the early 1930s of my late mother proudly holding her "school cone" on her first day of school in northern Germany (Bremerhaven/Hamburg area). I wish she had lived long enough to see your cute school cone photo Feli, I know she would've loved it as much as she loved watching your channel. 😇
    39
  891. I needed this dose of positivity. Thank you!
    39
  892. as for gun violence, come live in a big city in germany. No experience with gun violence at all and not hearing about it on TV (or these days, online).
    39
  893. I find it funny that people have missed your plans when you both made them quite clear since I've been watching. People need to pay closer attention when they watch I guess. I wish the both of you all the best in the world
    39
  894. I love your honesty - and I respect your opinions even when they differ from mine :)
    39
  895. I’m so glad you mentioned the tampons! I would have been so confused seeing tampons without an applicator in Europe. But I totally agree about the applicator being wasteful. I wish the U.S. would take notes.
    39
  896. Thank you for mentioning Michael Schumacher, he deserves more recognition and respect world wide! Also Mr. Vettel, the way they pronounce his name has always driven me nuts!
    39
  897. I’ve never been to Germany but I was born exactly on the same day of German reunification! Therefore, both me and reunited Germany are 34 years old 🥳🎉🎂🇩🇪
    39
  898. Germany does not tax the churches, it supports the two state churches through a tax, which may declined, but then you cannot use its services, i.e. get married there.
    39
  899. I visited Frankenmuth last Summer. To me as a Bavarian, it felt like going to Disney world or a theme park in general. Its funny to look at your home as a caricature. From a distance you might actually think you're somewhere in rural Bavaria such as Reit im Winkl. The food was okay. That being said, what we didn't like was the costumes that all the waiters are wearing. I get that its difficult to purchase real traditional Lederhosen or Dirndl, but i would argue that if you're going for such an immersive experience, you should go the extra Mile to get real clothing. I'm very interested in what you will think of it. Weißbier - ich mags Franziskaner oder Schneider weiße am liebsten, but i would recommend Erdinger to Americans, since you can get it in a lot of places and even airports.
    39
  900. I never knew some of these words were German, but now it seems so obvious
    38
  901. lol imagine a "feud" between josh and felicia over things like who has the best accent
    38
  902. I’ll be honest: I’m not really a beer fan. But this is what I love about history—there’s a fascinating history of everything! Great video as always, Feli! :-)
    38
  903. Cool video! I'm an American living in Munich for more than 30 years and can confirm that it's a fantastic city and a great place to live.
    38
  904. Thank you Feli!!! I'm taking a German Class in college the spring semester!!! Wish me luck 🍀
    38
  905. Will never forget Knorr... there used to be a commercial in England when I was a teenager. I’ll never forget it... “Kk-norr, we’ve got the kk-now how!!! Lol
    38
  906. Great job feli, and camera person. Really well done and informative. You have a new calling Also impressed by Florian for his discipline and desire. Fun to see he received his pick of the eurofighter on drop night.
    38
  907. As a Brit, I have yet to go to either the US or Germany, your channel gives an insight to both I love it Danke-Scheon Felicia
    37
  908. NALF's example of driving on the highway and in Germany (I'll add Austria to that) people get over for faster traffic...is TRUE and AWESOME...and in North America people don't get over and it's a pain in the butt.
    37
  909. From 93 to 95 I spent two years in Germany and learned this personal and honest culture. So, I came back the USA and started to telling people exactly how I feel when they say "How's it going".
    37
  910. Really nice end. It's very important that people like You show their opinion, it opens the public debate and makes people aware. I know the channel is not all about such topics, but still great and important job, Feli! You have a balanced opinion and You try to show different point of view. Keep it going, greetings from Poland!
    37
  911. I love how much information you add instead of just throwing the pronunciations out thete and just ending there. It's kind of funny someone from Germany can teach me things I don't know myself about my own country. Awesome job.
    37
  912. Dear Feli, Thank you for covering this. It is really important to understand the laws that nations have. I really enjoyed the comparison with music/television differences. You explained many of the misconceptions people have. God's Blessings, Irish
    37
  913. So cool. I'm an Ohioan now living in Stuttgart. Love this video. Love seeing my home.
    37
  914. “What time do they close the Black Forest?” Is one my wife has gotten.
    37
  915. You were a good sport, Felicia! He was being a bit sensational and yet you addressed each one of his concerns, both real and imagined. But it took guts to do this with your American audience, so bravo! You did it with true honesty and good humor. As far as winter, his uncle has never been to Chicago, Minnesota, (or worst) North Dakota in the wintertime.
    37
  916. I've gain ten pounds just watching this video.
    37
  917. Around minute 4: I can tell this guy didn't listen to a representive selection of people but mostly to AfD and PEGIDA fans, which by no means represent the majority of Germans! Thank you so much for putting things straight in that department. Greetings from Munich, Germany
    37
  918. Tomorrow, tomorrow, just not today, is what all lazy people say...
    37
  919. After hearing all you had to do for the green card... I’m thankful I was born in the good ole USA 🇺🇸
    37
  920. As a native PA Dutch speaker, I am surprised by how easily I understood the first woman, more so than I understand Feli’s German. It sounds similar to me to the Old Order Mennonites dialect.
    37
  921. Make a "Part 2". Include how German's (and most continental Europeans) count with their hands differently, like the number 2 uses the thumb in Germany but English and American cultures use the thumb last for the number 5. Perhaps there are other hand gestures that are different.
    37
  922. Feli, you are such a talented communicator. I wish I had just 1/10 of your "Gift of the Gab". The presentation is also high level and intelligent. So well done.
    37
  923. I noticed from my German speaking friend that she’ll get confused with “oo” pronunciations. She said something like, “This restaurant has good food!” where both words sounded the same with different consonants. Same with words like “mood”, “book”, “door”, and “flood”.
    36
  924. Thanks! This was very helpful to clear up my confusion as an American as to what happened in the German government. As an aside, I like studying your pronunciation of German words and names; I'm learning German and that is so helpful!🤩
    36
  925. Feli, I'm neither German or a US citizen but I watch your videos often. This, in my opinion is the best and most informative video I have seen of yours to date. They are usually amusing and sometimes surprising but up to now have not combated the serious differences between Europe and the US. I do like the light hearted comparisons and it's what draws me to your channel but a slight wake-up call video like this one niw and again may do everyone a favour.
    36
  926. You’ve done a great job on this. I’m not of German heritage, but I got a great feel of it!
    36
  927. Wow! I never thought that German can sound this beautiful untill watching this video. I want to study German now. Don't get me wrong, saying beautiful I mean the stereotypes that are widely known such as French is the language of love /it's romantic etc. Here German sounds just super sophisticated to me and even kinda gentle. Never thought about it that way.
    36
  928. I never knew how much sugar they used in bread in America until I made my own and wow amazing fresh soft and full of flavor without all that sweetness which I never liked anyway
    36
  929. You are adorable! We are lucky to have you. Please stay.
    36
  930. I'm happy you and Veronica enjoyed your vacation to Canada and the US! As for the NYC subways, that is a big complaint by even New Yorkers and it's a big controversy with the Governor. I love your videos. You remind me of the UCLA students I work with,
    36
  931. You’re blowing up, girl!!! Don’t forget the people who were with you before you were a star!!!

  932. I'm glad you enjoy living in our country! It seems you are more in tune with how we actually live and get a long with one another versus how the media would like to portray American Life. I think it's terrific that you are broadcasting to others around the world to your experiences which we all appreciate hearing. I enjoy watching Bundesliga and have become a Schalke fan all from just playing FIFA. Lol. I would love to visit Germany one day and attend a match. Thank you for your insight into your country!! 🙂

  933. Nice video. Just a little correction about the "-li"-thing. We only use this ending, when we describe something as the little or small form of it, similar as the german enhanced ending "-lein" (or in some cases "-chen"). For example: A house, in german "ein Haus" is in swiss german "e Huus". A little house, "ein Häuslein" in german, is called "e Hüsli" in swiss german. The example you mentioned with "der Zug" is also "der Zug" in swiss german. "Das Zügli" it's only called, if it's only a locomotive and (for example) two waggons instead of a large ICE with eight or more waggons.

  934. Habe gerade vorhin im hiesigen Einkaufszentrum Amerikaner , die sich vorher nicht kannten, dabei ( unbeabsichtigt ) belauscht, wie sie sich gegenseitig als Amerikaner erkannt haben, sich darüber gefreut haben, Landsleute hier im Ausland zu treffen und dann ein längeres freundliches Gespräch geführt haben, bei dem sie sich auch Tipps gegeben haben für Sehenswürdigkeiten, Umgang mit Deutschen etc. - alles mit Wärme und Freude ( kam mir nicht ' fake ' vor, sondern einfach positiv, freundlich warmherzig , hilfsbereit... - Dagegen gehen wir Deutschen uns doch lieber aus dem Weg, wenn wir im Ausland merken, oje , auch hier sind schon wieder welche ... Oder ?!?...

  935. As an amateur genealogist I find this incredibly interesting. I love exploring how immigration patterns affect populations linguistically and how languages evolve over time. It makes one realize that populations are not homogenous and there is almost always some degree of racial mixing within populations.

  936. "i am fully addicted to Schnitzel" .. direkt ins Herz geschlossen :D

  937. Whoever said you hate Oktoberfest is probably relieved that these are anonymous, oh the pain and anger in your eyes, lol. Certainly can't blame you either, lol.
    36
  938.  @FelifromGermany  I have! And I love them! As someone with non-German ancestry I thoroughly love your video. I once visited western Germany in 2010 to visit family that were stationed in Geilenkirchen during my summer break from college and I fell in love with it. The culture, the people, and naturally I fell in love with the architecture as an engineering student. I drove a Volkswagen and just love German engineering. One of these days I'd like to go back and visit. ♥

  939. ich kenne Almdudler im Norden, allerdings auch nur weil ich oft in Österreich war :D
    36
  940. We like having you here too.
    36
  941. I'm a native English speaker and I'm impressed by anyone learning English as a second language. English is weird! And, we Americans regularly make it weirder. Even native speakers often don't get things right. It confuses and bothers me to no end when people say "hot water heater". It's a water heater. If the water is hot, you don't need one. Anyway, great vid as always.
    35
  942. Feli, I went to Deutschland for the first time this year and experienced Oktoberfest fist hand! What a blast!!! Everything you covered is spot on and people are sooo friendly. I never felt out of place. It may help that I am a good part German and look as much, but I will be going back again next year! Keep up the great content. PROST🍻🍻
    35
  943. become und bekommen ist auch so ein schönes Beispiel, mit dem man in der Schule immer viel Spaß hatte :D
    35
  944. Thanks, Feli. This is a great video and important topic. While there was a lot of discussion of how the opioid crisis happened here, there wasn't much discussion of meth, cocaine, or other heavily-used drugs. A big part of how drug use in the US got wildly out of control can be traced to Ronald Reagan's closure of thousands of mental health facilities in the 1980s, followed by Joe Biden in the 1990s designing mandatory minimal criminal sentences for drug use (instead of funding for drug treatment programs), and Hillary Clinton appearing on US media programs where she advocated for the locking up of all criminals, calling them "super-predators". No mater which political party the politicians belonged to, it became fashionable to lock up drug users, the mentally ill, the homeless, and the poor.
    35
  945. I would love to visit Germany once this pandemic is over. My husband has been multiple times, and I’m jealous.
    35
  946. i grew up with both...? some like cinderella i grew up with the originals but some others like sleeping beauty i found out later
    35
  947. Great video! Here's my favorite idiom: "Ich habe mit dir ein Hühnchen zu rupfen!" ("I have a chicken to pluck with you!" 😂😂😂 In English, we just say we "have a bone to pick with you!"
    35
  948. Apfelschorle - we Like to Mix juices with Sparkling water Ich, gucke meine Weinschorle an, zählt auch als Traubensaft oder 😂
    35
  949. Glückwunsch. Freut mich für dich. Du machst gute Videos bzgl. kultureller Unterschiede. Dies hilft besseres Verständnis in diese Welt zu bringen. Danke dafür.
    35
  950. I totally agree with you :D I've NEVER heard anyone in Germany talk about jawlines :D But on the internet I read it all the time. I see so many comments like: "Omg he/she has such a nice jawline!". And I'm like: "Wtf, what is a jawline? How the hell do people even notice someone's jawline??" :D
    35
  951. End of a phone call in Germany: “Alles Gute und bleibt gesund. Ja, viele Grüße an Deinen Freund und ich hoffe, Euch bald wieder zu sehen. Ja, alles klar, tschüss und grüß mir Deine Mama. Ich drück Dich, ja, wir sprechen uns bald, schlaf gut und morgen viel Erfolg. Bussi. Bis nächstes Mal. Ich wünsch Dir was. Tschühhhüß." End of an American phone call :" Kay, bye! "
    35
  952. Thanks Feli. This was very informative.
    35
  953. I think you're right: adversity does make you appreciate the little blessings in life which we take for granted. It opens our hearts to consider others' hardships that are so easily dismissed
    34
  954. One of my favorite parts of your videos is all the history overviews you do! Very educational and I've learned a lot.
    34
  955. I can't get over how cute the video turned out. Made my day.
    34
  956. When I went to Munich a few years ago, (by myself), and went to Hans Im Gluch. It one of the best burgers I've ever had.
    34
  957. That intro had me almost drown in my iced tea. Lol
    34
  958. That intro is soooo relatable!!! I am a student from the United States living in Germany!!!
    34
  959. Feli, I did Munich, Salzburg, Wien, and many other cities last year by car! Loved it and your itinerary looks perfect! Just a warning to anyone who signs up… if you don’t have a passport, get one ASAP. Mailing time to passport office is approximately 2 weeks and standard processing can take up to 13 weeks! Don’t delay!
    34
  960. Its funny that you can buy in Germany a "Muffin hell". ("light Muffin") In Germany here is "Rente", but also "Pension". "Pension" can mean the "Rente" of a public servant, or it can be some sort of smaller hotel. Another false friend is "also". The english "also" is "auch" in german. The german "also" means "so/thus" and can also be filler word.
    34
  961. You mentioned Fanta when you spoke about Limo.....fun fact the Germans created Fanta in WW2 as they couldn't get/didn't want Coca Cola so they created their own carbonated drink! 😊
    34
  962. I’m sitting here drinking a German beer (Erdinger Weissbrau Dunkel) and it’s delicious 🍺
    34
  963. Felicia is a good sport. I think she does a nice balanced job of pointing out the inaccuracies and also conceding the more valid points. I still want to visit Germany!
    34
  964. I really had to laugh when he talked about taxes. I work in the tax office in Munich and I guarantee you: the people who have to pay really high taxes are definitely not going bankrupt because of it. They have more than enough money. The calculation of how much tax you have to pay is pretty complicated btw and not like it's stated in the video.
    34
  965. The hardest part about German is that everyone speaks English in Germany. The separable verbs were a little odd.
    34
  966. Omg, “verschlimmbessern”, there’s a lot of that in business. It may have a name like “our corporate improvement strategy”. I’m using this one tomorrow. And the pigdog one. Perfect.
    34
  967. More travel vlogs! (When reasonable, of course.)
    34
  968. My wife and I love, love, love this episode. She particularly loves the Munich Christmas markets. Though she only went there in the spring. I would bring things home from the markets when I was there during December. She has always wanted to go herself. But timing just never worked out that way. Thanks so much for putting the work into doing these. We have good friends in Munich. But we’ve never gotten together for Christmas. So it’s quite delightful to get all the background you provide. Our German friends being, well, German, don’t waste a lot of time talking about this stuff. Sending hugs and Christmas cheer!
    34
  969. Moin Feli, Danke für deine Video! Ersten bin ich ursprünglich aus Schottland aber wohnt in NRW. Ess war ein Tolle Video. Es war mehr ein lustige Video von der Mann. Ich finde es unglaüblich das Jemand hat so viele Fakten falsch aber geht. Der Kritik über Nazis z.b ist vielleicht schlimmer in US mit KKK und andere Gruppe. Danke für das email, es war wirklich cool. Viele Grüße aus der Heimat!
    34
  970. I would say I've mispronounced basically ALL of them! 🤣 Actually, some I've pronounced correctly but have been 'incorrected' to mispronounce them! Thanks people! I KNEW I was right! Lol! 🤣
    34
  971. When I first started dating my wife, she thought I might be the one, she changed her phone number to the spelling of her name so I wouldn’t forget her phone number. I guess it worked. We will be married 34 years this year.❤️
    34
  972. Two Feli videos this week?? What a time to be alive! :-)
    34
  973. Nach meiner persönlichen Beobachtung haben manche Menschen einfach ein Gehör oder ein Talent für Sprache. Josh ist offensichtlich so jemand - Hammer, wie sein Deutsch klingt!! Höchsten Respekt 😀 Und ich liebe "again what learned!" 🤣 Mein Freund und ich sind deutsch, aber beide sehr anglophil, von daher machen wir sowas auch ständig! Mein Favorit ist "joke cookie" 😉 Ach ja, und ich sage auch "hilariös", weil es einfach keine richtig passende Übersetzung für "hilarious" gibt 😁
    34
  974. Good topic. I recently watched a great documentary about the horrible state of sex education in America. I wasn't aware it was so bad throughout the country. Sex education was actually done pretty well, from what I remember, where I live here in the northeast. I'm 28 so it was a long time ago, but I clearly remember my 65 year old teacher putting a condom on her prop, affectionately named "Mr. Woody", like it was yesterday. It was an extremely uncomfortable class lol, but very necessary. There are definitely negative consequences to American kids going completely without exposure to proper professional sex education. A lot of kids these days are getting exposed to pornography on their smart phones before receiving ANY important education, if at all, which is obviously detrimental to a developing adolescent mind. Others live in extremely religious environments that discourage any type of conversation whatsoever.
    34
  975. I'm a born and raised American and I kind of want to use all of these words in exactly that way now.
    34
  976. Cat do not have owners, they have staff.
    34
  977. Thanks!
    33
  978. Great video Feli. I'd love to see more of this type of content discussing current events in Germany!
    33
  979. Ben is adorable! I’m so happy you found such a nice young man. All the best to you both for now and the future. What do each of your families think about the match?
    33
  980. Felicia’s talk about languages carrying different concepts reminded me of the popular example of the Russian language having multiple words designating different colors for what anglophones see as just shades of blue
    33
  981. Great video. Living in the Chicago area for 17 years, there are many parts of the area with German heritage and influence. Here in the suburb of Schaumburg, it was founded by Germans from Schaumburg Germany. There are many names in the village that are from the original German settlers. There is an exchange program with Schaumburg Germany. My wife is originally from Nürnberg and the Chicago Christkindlmarkt really reminds her of the Nürnberg Christkindlmarkt. Very authentic.
    33
  982. Der deutsche Begriff für "road rage" ist "Autofahren" :D
    33
  983. As a Berliner, I use "Gänsewein" for clear, tasteless water in general. But I also know the distinction "Gänsewein" for still water and "Gänsesekt" for sparkling water.
    33
  984. Hi. I’m Rob from New Jersey. I enjoy watching your videos because I’m interested in the sociological/ psychological perspectives that you relate. I particularly like your videos because you express yourself extremely well, you have a very pleasant personality, and your appearance is quite attractive. I would like to offer that from my own experience, I noticed that in Europe, cafes etc. will give you a limited amount of condiments or napkins. Whereas in the US, one can just grab everything if he or she chooses. I personally am very conservative in this regard, and, while this did not surprise me, it did impress me as an obvious difference.
    33
  985. You picked a pretty good German-American city to live in.
    33
  986. Excellent. Your explanation of the subject is college at level. I'm an American who has been living in Germany since 1976 and has learned to appreciate the German view of the subject of free speech. As a matter of fact, I believe that the German view grants people a better alternative to actually expressing one's views but also to take responsibility for the damage that falsely put something out in public. Good job!
    33
  987. Deine Persönlichkeit und Ausstrahlung ist ja mal mega. Weiß nicht wie ich auf dich gestoßen bin. Halbe Familie von mir kommt aus Kalifornien... Aaaaaber. Meine Erfahrung ist diese, dass speziell in München die "fremden" Leute (an der Kasse oder sonst wo) nicht sehr freundlich sind. Ich wohne nahe Frankfurt und kann dies dort nicht bestätigen. Hier gibt es noch Danke, Entschuldigung und noch einen schönen Tag. Nichtsdestotrotz. Super Video und Videos allgemein. Macht Spaß dir zuzuhören
    33
  988. Love you Feli, still missing your original title wish something could've been done. Anyway I will be always watching. I want to learn about life in Europe. I was born on the day the Berlin Wall was constructed. August 13th, 1961. Thank you for coming here and sharing your knowledge. I trust you to have open and honest truthful content.
    33
  989. Wait, how do we use toilet paper differently? How the hell are there more than one way to use it?
    33
  990. In Brazil there are several Oktoberfest in the southern states because of the german immigration there, and they say the Oktoberfest from the city of Blumenau on the Santa Catarina state is the largest in the Americas and largest outside of Germany. Unfortunately I've never been down there to confirm this but I plan to go one day.
    33
  991. When someone puts "I'M SHOCKED" in the title/thumbnail, it's usually about something that is not shocking at all... but this actually shocked me -.-
    33
  992. For scheduling the one BIG thing Americans have in common with Germans for early planning are weddings. That is the BIG exception.
    33
  993. Now that you have announced your merch store, how about a T-shirt that says “I am jelly donut“ as a joke (with no article). Maybe on one side but on the other side it will say “Ich bin ein Berliner”. Just a suggestion. You know, for the next round of merch that you suggested people comment on. 😇
    33
  994. I have no idea why I went my whole life thinking Haribo was a Mexican company lmao
    33
  995. I know that this took some time to put together, but very well done.
    33
  996. Sehr schön 👍👍 Schon bald werden die 70.000 Abos geknackt 🥳🎉
    33
  997. A subscriber special with a Q&A and your responses are entirely auf Deutsch. Questions don’t have to be in German though :P
    33
  998. This channel is on the rise, it is only going to grow.
    32
  999. Thanks for highlighting Von Steuben, an amazing man in American history. This isn't a history channel but thank you for covering anti-German nonsense. It is proof that some people will always find a reason for hatred. Easily one of your best presentations. Thanks.
    32
  1000. So apparently having a Lidl and an Aldi about three miles from each other on my area is a mathematically big deal! Whoa!
    32
  1001. Im in the Pacific Northwest and most of what she talks about isnt that common out here. But Im originally from the Midwest where what she says brings back memories.
    32
  1002. Ich hatte mir die Rede von König Charles gar nicht angesehen, aber gut dass ich jetzt durch dich dazu komme. Gutes Video 👍
    32
  1003. In Germany we don't advertise rooms as bedrooms at all, they're all just called "Zimmer" (rooms) unlesst they already have a specific use (kitchen, bathroom, a small room without windows right next to the kitchen as store room). When looking for a flat or a house one might see something like "3 Zimmer KDB" which means 3 rooms plus kitchen, hallway and bathroom. The buyer or tenant then could choose which room they want to be the master bedroom, which is supposed to be the children's room and which the living room depending on their specific needs. Another tenant might want to have one master bedroom, one living room and one home gym and noone is resticted about which room is supposed to be which by the closets.
    32
  1004. New sub here. I am very happy for you guys. Loved the level of detail in this video. I’m a 50 plus year old American living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I found this video so interesting. There is a bit of shame on me for not owning a home at my age but I get a pass slightly because I live in the most expensive place in the US. Owning real estate is how Americans raise themselves up a notch in their social class, build wealth and security for their children. If you own a home it protects you a bit from being completely wiped out by a major medical expense as we do not have socialized medicine here. This happened to me personally. I owed so much I used my equity to pay medical bills. Eventually sold my house and couldn’t buy another…so now I rent and help a landlord buy his house.
    32
  1005. There is also a LBGT evening/night in a so called "pink tent", that's usually where I go and meet likeminded people :)
    32
  1006. When I was in school we usually had a period called Study Hall where you got to work on your homework. So most of the time you got a major chunk of your homework done there. If you had any left at the end of period, you took it home.
    32
  1007. Thank You so much Feli for this update on the economic situation. We've been dealing with some of these same issues in the US. Such as higher prices in gas, electric. But have been getting by. It is certainly good to conserve water and electricity. Tough times to be sure. Glad you are doing well yourself.😀
    32
  1008. i literally call anyone Fräulein when I'm mad at them... no matter what gender they are. I don't know why but it works great :D
    32
  1009. I'm truly offended by the refugees and crime comments. It's just not true. I live in one of the cities which took most of the refugees. We had little refugee-towns with barracks. They are almost all gone. And the economy flourished in the last 5 years. Unemployment sunk. (Now it's a different story because of covid-19). Merkel said "we can do that" and: we did! Briggs sounds like a right-wing fear mongerer (Ooooh, scaaary open borders!!) which ist bs as a lot of people already pointed out. A lot of Syians who came as teens went to school, learned the language, are now over 18 and working. I am happy for them that they are safe and alive(!) and have a real chance in life.
    32
  1010. As an American with a German boyfriend, I also have to work on my "eigentlich" 😂
    32
  1011. Thanks Feli. Well researched. Well done. To compare you to the mainstream media in this country would be like comparing Einstein to a 4th grade dropout because your video was so well researched and informative. Education is a hot topic button in this country, but you provided an excellent example of "It is what it is." 10 out of 10.
    32
  1012. I loved my time in Germany! I lived there for a month in 2015 (Würtzburg in July was spectacular) and I've been dying to get back!
    32
  1013. Really enjoy your videos as they explain so many things which I wondered when stationed for four years back in 1988-1992. Somethings you didn’t want to ask or you didn’t know who to ask, your videos are a great source of information to help educate us Americans. I loved my time in Germany and really want to return some day before I get to old to do so. I loved the many great festivals and all the awesome food, beers and brotchen.
    32
  1014. Oh damn girl look at your subscribers, you getting close to 100k. Because of your videos I have been learning German online. Auf wiedersehen
    32
  1015. I would have an interest in you doing one on Yiddish. Curiously, I believe more Yiddish has found its way into American English vernacular, though you have observed plenty of German influencers in other videos. Great stuff
    32
  1016. When it comes to answering landline phones most Americans will simply pick up the phone and say "Hello" A greeting like "Hello, Smith residence" usually only happened when someone had company and could not answer the phone at that moment and asked a guest if they could answer for them. That way the person on the other end of the line would know they called the right number even though they didn't recognize the voice that answered.
    32
  1017. Feli, you really nailed some of those! It's fun to see Josh on your channel again -- he's real inspiration for us German learners :^)
    32
  1018. I grew up in the States and did the whole “High School/College/Career” thing. Once I was working it took me a long time figure out what I wanted to do. Now that I’ve seen the German system (my company has about 60 Azubis all the time) I wish I had the chance to do an Ausbildung at 16 so I didn’t have to waste my time and money on a Uni degree.
    31
  1019. One thing that baffled me while staying at a roadside motel in Iowa was an automatic pancake machine at breakfast. Before going there I didn't even know such a machine exists.
    31
  1020. I'm not a German (I'm an Australian living in the USA), but of the list presented by Briggs, I think only one of the things he listed would cause me to hesitate about visiting Germany. My family plan to visit as soon as we can after this whole pandemic thing is over. I do like the refutations presented by GGiA: you countered the items with solid facts and good statistical information. Well done GGiA! Keep it up!
    31
  1021. Interesting. In Australia ice cream and gelato are generally seen as 2 different things. You can have one shop selling ice-cream right next door to a gelato shop.
    31
  1022. I'm German and I've been told for yeeeaars that the way I use my silverware is just like how kids eat, not adults. I can't stand holding the fork in my left hand, I just hate to eat like that, it's so uncomfortable 😆 so whenever someone tells me again that I eat like a child, from now on I'll just say: no, that's the American way 😎 danke dafür 😂🎉
    31
  1023. My Dad was from Germany moved to the US when he was 17, and never lost his accent. You have very little accent! BTW Your eyes are like hunter green soooo pretty!
    31
  1024. The look on German Flag Feli's face while American Flag Feli is saying, "Oh my God, now they're climbing through the air vents," is hilarious! This just made my day.
    31
  1025. I'd say the hardest thing is to understand a native, so the challenge should be a German language interaction with you. Blindfold him and guide him with instructions around the apartment without walking into anything, or get him to complete a task, or to draw a picture, by only following your spoken instructions. Obviously choosing something which only uses words he's covered in the app, or it's just frustrating.
    31
  1026. Thank you so much for focusing on amazingly detailed facts! So many videos like this turn into a blame game. Wouldn't expect that from Feli, of course, but this is basically journalism 🤔 Feli would kill on NPR... I feel like that's what I just watched. Thanks from Colorado for this breakdown!
    31
  1027. I just checked on my way to the supermarket. There isn’t a single graffiti in my street in Berlin. I am sure it’s a problem and it costs money to the city, but he is exaggerating, wildly.
    31
  1028. Me: is learning french Youtube: may I interest you in some german? 🕵‍♀
    31
  1029. You have a wonderful speaking voice and great communication skills. I see broad cast journalism or maybe spokesperson in your future. LoL. You would be great.
    31
  1030. This is such an interesting and inspiring video, thank you for sharing your story with us! Greetings from Germany :)
    31
  1031. Thanks for sharing Feli! I appreciate you tackling such a difficult topic earnestly and don't envy what you will have to slog through based on the comments I've seen already. I'm hispanic on my mom's side and white on my dads, and can tell you as a mixed person that this is a difficult subject (though hispanic isn't officially considered race in the US, it is defacto to the layperson, making me hispanic or mixed but rarely white to others). I have mixed feelings on the use of race and ethnicity in the US. My grandmother spoke Spanish as her first language (despite being born in El Paso), and while her English was never even close to fluent, she intentionally didn't speak Spanish with her children to spare them from the discrimination she faced for speaking Spanish as a first language, so my mom grew up speaking English only, and it caused a disconnect between younger generations and the older generations, as well as from our heritage. I remember as a kid wanting to learn Spanish as a kid so I could talk to my grandma, but my family told me I shouldn't learn it because people would discriminate against me for speaking Spanish and how it would make me do worse in school. I also remember having friends over one time and my mom made enchiladas and the kids complained the enchiladas were too spicy, so I told my mom how I hated enchiladas and why couldn't she cook normal food like meatloaf (something I regret saying all these years later). I appreciate how you touched on the being not white is less cool as a kid, but as an adult you realize there are generational traumas that you may not have had. As a person who straddles the two worlds of hispanic and white, I get that sentiment a lot from a lot of white people who feel that they don't have "cool" things like quinces or food or music but don't realize that they do as well because there are tons of white things that are just as cool but they don't see it because it is the default in the US (for example pizza or hot dogs or sweet 16s or bar-be-cues). I guess the grass is always greener on the other side! Also, I can safely say the vast majority of hispanic people love sharing their food and culture so long as people are engaging in it from a place of love :) I appreciated you talking on the shade/shadow and Schatten (sp?) difference in German (or the western languages on smells vs the Malaysian language). I'd love to hear more about these kinds of distinctions that are more difficult between the languages/cultures of the US or Germany :) Much love to you and all the other people of this small planet we share together! <3
    31
  1032. I work at a walmart and until you and Josh went to that humongous international store, I did not know Maggi was German. It's sold in our Hispanic aisle.
    31
  1033. Danke für die große Arbeit, die Du Dir zu dem Thema gemacht hast! 😃👍🏼
    31
  1034. Ich erinnere mich noch an die 5. Klasse als ich erfahren habe, dass Freunde finden auf Englisch „Freunde machen“ heißt😂
    31
  1035. Im ersten Video aus Zürich, in dem sie Leute auf der Strasse ansprachen, war definitiv nicht nur Zürichdeutsch zu hören, denn natürlich gibt es in der Schweiz durchaus Leute, die vom einen in den anderen Kanton umziehen, sei es fürs Studium oder wenn auch mal über die Dorfgrenzen hinaus geheiratet wird. ;) (Und gerade in Zürich studieren doch viele junge Menschen auch aus anderen Gegenden.)

  1036. Yay! A 30 minute Feli video to end a rough day! Glad you had fun--I definitely hope to go some day!
    31
  1037. My advice is: Have a look at German phonology and make sure you get your pronunciation correct, right from the beginning. You will be speaking a lot and it will be hard to unlearn an incorrect pronunciation later.
    31
  1038. I had an awful day--thanks for cheering me up, Feli! Always good to have you back! 🙂

  1039. Just found out that Aldi stores in Portugal are Aldi North.
    30
  1040. Your cat is really cute*-*
    30
  1041. Als ich Deutsch lernte, wirkten die Wörter absolut traumatisch. Aber wann immer ich es endlich zum ersten Mal hörte, konnte ich es jedes Mal sagen.
    30
  1042. When Einstein means 1 liter
    30
  1043. Loving the different background imagery
    30
  1044. I lived for my first 30 years in England. I never saw an English muffin until I moved across the Atlantic. We have crumpets which are vaguely similar but taste and feel different.
    30
  1045. Literally had tears in my eyes at the end because you look so happy and i was in the same tent on the Last evening and it was just amazing to be back after 2 years 🥹🫶🏻
    30
  1046. Two suggestions. Use this time to learn how to use a mouse left handed, then when you get well switch off right to left handed throughout the day so your hand/wrist doesn’t get tired. I do CAD work and this is very helpful. Also get two different sized “mice”. Maybe, using a small travel size mouse will be helpful in you learning to use your left hand. Remap the buttons left to right so you are using your left index finger. Second use your computer’s speech to text functions. The Mac does this well.
    30
  1047. Okay the Trader Joe’s and aldi fact BLEW MY MIND
    30
  1048. Thanks, Feli! I needed a cheer-up video today! 🙂Hope you are enjoying your visit home (and Ben isn't missing you too much!)--the pictures from Carneval look like lots of fun!
    30
  1049. I was actually surprised by the lack of culture shock I felt in Germany. That said, I’m from the upper Midwest, which was settled by Germanic and Scandinavian peoples. There were a lot of places that had the same feeling as home or reminded me specifically of somewhere.
    30
  1050. The around the clock supermarkets thing is actually pretty common in a lot of places in Eastern Europe too, especially in big cities, the whole no Sundays, no work at night mentality is really just a German peculiarity
    30
  1051. Feli, the online magazine Slate had a really good article on this issue back in 2020 with the headline "The Real Reason Why Republicans Keep Saying 'We’re a Republic, Not a Democracy'". It's worth checking because it effectively contextualizes the deliberately created confusion with regard to this issue.
    30
  1052. This has blown my mind! This is how we use safe in the UK 🇬🇧 Safe; altho originally from Jamaica, it has been incorporated into London slang for the use of anyone who knows it meaning 1.hello, 2.goodbye, 3.thankyou, 4.good to see you, and 5.a general word used in celebration. 1. "Safe man" "Safe" 2. "safe dude, c u soon" "safe" 3. "here's that jay u wanted me to roll" "safe" 4. "wassup bro, its been a while" "Safe mate, way to much of a while" 5. "mate i just pulled the finest chicka!" "Safe mate, nicely done!" My favourite German word has to be schadenfreude! We use it in English too because we don’t have a word to describe such a thing. Lol 😂
    30
  1053. Awesome - one of the best explanation and summary of this topic I have seen yet - "Freedom of Expression" is not the same as the US' "Freedom of Speech" and as a German I think this is a good thing as it prevents a big portion of hate speech and personal attacks esp. when based on lies. Feli excellently explains why we Germans (and a lot of Europeans) think like this.
    30
  1054. GURL! Ich liebe deinen Channel. Hab den vor ein paar Tagen entdeckt und war schon immer irgendwo Fan in gewisser Weise von amerikanischer Kultur. Dein Kanal is so fucking helpful in vielerlei Hinsicht... <3 Love it. Danke! :D
    30
  1055. I just returned from Munich 2 weeks ago. The food was incredible! I will have to try this recipe! Thank you!
    29
  1056. In Berlin people go clubbing for 2.5 days, sometimes.
    29
  1057. American living in Germany... learning so much 😅
    29
  1058. I didn’t know this information ! That explains so many questions 😀
    29
  1059. As a German, thinking my english is pretty good (or at least accaptable) my head is spinning like crazy from all the language switching :'D
    29
  1060. Going to Oktoberfest is on my bucket list. My sister and her husband went a couple years ago and had an absolute blast. Nothing but good things to say about it. 😊
    29
  1061. New spin off channel idea: brutally honest German story time with Feli! 🙂 Thanks for sharing, enjoyed hearing these differences!
    29
  1062. Mark Strong und Christopher Lee haben mich total überrascht. Sie sprechen perfekt deutsch.
    29
  1063. I think the big difference comes in school. In America sports are a part of education, thus the quarterback is effectively the king of the school. Jocks are the ruling class. And that continues into politics. In Europe generally sports are part of the city or district. So that creates a very different culture.
    29
  1064. and no country today exist as a full direct democracy. not even switzerland. every modern democracy is representative to some level. that said, other aspects are as important as voting to determine a democracy: rule of law (equal legal treatment for everybody and due process), civil liberties (freedom of press, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly), division of government into at least 3 branches (executive, judicial, legislative) with checks and balances between them, limits to the power and length of term of elected officials, respect for human rights, power controlled by civilians and not the military, fair and transparent elections
    29
  1065. I really enjoy watching your channel during the quarantine. I've lived and traveled in multiple countries (Europe, Asia, and the Middle-East) the past several years and have seen and reflected on different cultures that have left meaningful impressions on me. Ultimately, the truth is we almost always share the same love: family, food, country, and sports. Anyway, I really enjoy and appreciate your fresh perspective of living in the US and sharing your thoughts on Americans.
    29
  1066. Do more travel vlogs Feli this was very interesting!
    29
  1067. Love the description of Americans as hi-bye mosquito-swarms. Everyone is super kind and talkative but the way they just run away from you all of the sudden, during my time as an exchange student I could never get used to that haha. I also noticed a certain rush to go home after plays and concerts that always confused me.
    29
  1068. they look so good together! like they were meant for each other!
    29
  1069. In old Berlin appartments you can sometimes still find a little extra room on one side of the kitchen, normally facing outside walls and without heating (to keep things fresh without the need to cool).
    29
  1070. 34:40 - Loved that full minute of consciousness in German
    29
  1071. I had the incredible luck of having a German Christmas a few years ago, as I was staying with the family of my German friend in Nordrhein-Westfalen. It was, without a doubt, the most magical and wonderful Christmas I ever had. I still remember the candlelit tree ❤️ I really want to experience it again one day!
    28
  1072.  @tomyoung7757  The 15% of BSW, FDP and Others Just get scratched as they don't have seats in the parliament. You need 50% of the parliamentory seats, Not 50% of the vote. So they got the majority of the MoPs and therefor can elect their candidate chancellor.
    28
  1073. What changed my view of the German language was hearing 99 Red Balloons in German. I was amazed at how sensual and soothing and even sexy it sounds. I couldn’t believe it was in German. I still prefer to hear the song in German even tho I don’t speak the language.
    28
  1074. I'm from Munich. Ben was magnificently traditionally dressed. Respect
    28
  1075. Ich bin viel auf Social Media, aber das war mir gänzlich entgangen. Danke, dass du mich aus meiner Bubble geholt hast. Ich hatte schon lange nicht mehr so viel Spaß.
    28
  1076. Singapore Noodles. It’s a Cantonese dish that originated in Hong Kong, yet it's called Singapore noodles.
    28
  1077. "Which brands I didn't know was Germany brands"........ALL OF THEM. Wow this video was so informative and nice. Great work especially with the history. Love it
    28
  1078. I think the paper plates for eating may be a city or suburbs thing, maybe a faster lifestyle. I live in northern Ohio and I don't recall any family or friends using them unless it was a cookout. I have to hand wash my dishes and the thought of using paper plates never crossed my mind. My mom would also have my hide if she found out that I used paper plates in my own house. Haha. I agree with you about the pace in grocery stores. We are as slow as molasses. Even worse is that many people get tunnel vision and aren't aware of their surroundings. I'm a fast walker myself and I try to get in and out as fast as possible. Keep up the good work. I've been a follower for a few months now and I like hearing about the culture and seeing the differences from your point of view. One of the biggest flaws we have as Americans is that we think we're alone in this world. Your views are an opportunity for us to see things from a different perspective.
    28
  1079. I am so excited! Tomorrow I am on my way to München and the Oktoberfest. I live in the US now, but I was born in München and my Grandfather was a Kappelmeister ( bandleader) when I was little. It's been 52 years since I was there! I used to go on stage with his band, and he would let me "play" along on my little plastic toy instruments. Such fond memories. Thank you Feli for the quick lesson!
    28
  1080. I love these types of videos! You're awesome Feli! 😊 And although I was born and raised in the USA, I can relate to Germans with some things since that's where my ancestors came from 🙂
    28
  1081. Congrats, Ben! Nice to "meet" you! Great video, Feli--glad life is going so well! 🙂
    28
  1082. 200k!! I still feel like I “discovered you” as one of your earliest subscribers. Lol It was pretty awesome to meet your brother. He is so calm natured and polite. Also, Munich is beautiful! I was blown away by the architecture. And last but not least, I’m afraid of German grocers now. Lol
    28
  1083. My understanding for the usage of the word Doppelgänger in English is very specific, it refers too two people who look identical or nearly identical but who have no known relation to each other.
    28
  1084. Es gibt drei Arten von Deutschen: 1. Amazon 2. Amason 3. Ämazn
    28
  1085. My favorite German girl in America! Your videos are always so entertaining and educational and you make Germany come alive. I definitely remember how amazing and historic the Berlin wall coming down in '89 was as a freshman in college. It was also a year when Scotty Burrell passed the basketball across the court to Tate George who hit a 16ft turnaround jumper to beat Clemson at the buzzer!! Boy did we celebrate in the Jungle with bonfires!
    28
  1086. Always nice to get a little more personal look. Thanks for being open to sharing with us, Feli and Ben! Great video to end the year! P.S. 100% with Ben--schnitzel is delightful!
    27
  1087. That looked like a great trip , thanks for sharing.
    27
  1088. Great channel! My wife lived in Germany and speaks German fluently. It was great to visit the country a few times and can't wait to go back and explore places like Munich and Berlin.
    27
  1089. 10:10 the length of the Lederhosn actually once had a reasoning behind it. Over-knee was meant to be weared in the mountains because you get hot very fast when moving in your working enviroment (=mountains), BUT once you dont move that much anymore you can get cold really fast there wich is the reason why the trousers are long. You put up your wool socks and trust me you wont get cold, no matter how low temperatures get. The long Lederhosn (down to the feet) were used in every working enviroment that is moist, so for example "Fischertrachten" (for fishing) oder "Metzgertrachten" (for butchering) have those so that you wont get wet. Also Fischertrachten often have a fitting long leather mantle so that your torso is also protected from liquids. As for colours: Of course not every Lederhosn that has be worn ever has a colouring code, but as far as it goes with "Schmucktrachten" that you should wear to festive occastions rather than for work there are very hardline rules: for example where I come from the blazon colours of the city are white and red with an animal painted in black in the centre so you will go for a white shirt, a red vest and a BLACK Lederhosn. Anything else would be considered "wrong", if you are a representative of your city (for example as a musician or "Zunftler").
    27
  1090. How exciting! Think of the food, the drink, the shopping and just the clean beauty of Germany from someone who has been there a few times since the end of the Cold War and easy travel.
    27
  1091. Du hast vergessen, das man sich in die Augen schauen muss, sonst gibt es 7 Jahre schlechten sex
    27
  1092. You are beautiful and delightful to listen to....!
    27
  1093. OH, thanks about the federalism thing - that was actually new to me.
    27
  1094. 📍 Well balanced and excellent journalism! Longer format is appreciated. Comparisons of different polls, changes over time, feelings, economic impact, risk, benefit… very well done!
    27
  1095. The person who decided NOT to translate "The sixth sense" to German was just cruel. Which German can pronounce the sequence XTHS without an accident?
    27
  1096. Danke auch aus dem Sauerland. (Sorry für Fritze 😉) Super, dass Du auch solche schweren Themen erklärst.
    27
  1097. Love the fact that you mentioned it's illegal to leave your car on the side on the Interstate in Youngstown, Ohio. I wish this were enforced! I'm from Youngstown, and let me tell you, there are cars on the side of the interstate DAILY!!! lol By the way, I have also lived in Germany. First while stationed there in the Army. Then, after I got out, I moved back with my German wife (now ex-wife). I really enjoy watching your videos. It's bringing back so many wonderful memories. ❤Thank you!!!
    27
  1098. Thank you so much for making this. I was born in the UK, to an English mother and Polish-Jewish father. My father and his family fled Poland in Sep 1939 as refugees and re-settled in England. I was born in '71, so I'm 53 as I wrote this. In High school I learned German for three years, much to my father's dismay. As an adult, one of my closest friends is a German guy exactly my age, from Munich also, co-incidentally. One day, a few years ago, he and I were discussing how widespread some languages are, and I observed that German is not widespread like French or Spanish, being pretty much limited to Germany and Austria. His response turned my blood to ice. In a deadly serious manner he said "Not for lack of trying". I'm still friends with that guy - he was the best man at my wedding - but that one remark he made years ago has made me question Germans' attitudes to WWII ever since then. Your video has given me a lot more peace in this regard, so thank you.
    27
  1099. Yay, an Easter morning surprise! Happy Easter, Feli and Ben! Hope you both are doing well!
    27
  1100. I really like Feli from Germany, it feels more personal! ☺️
    27
  1101. Thanks for posting this. There is an Aldi only seven miles from where I live in Central California. I've always seen it, but I never paid attention to it, even though it's next to a Raising Cane's that I frequently visit. I didn't know what it sold. I'm going to check it out today. Thanks!
    27
  1102. Your videos are always researched very diligently 👍 ... Your German genes are definitifly showing there 😉
    27
  1103. 12 Dollar für ne Kugel Mozzarella??? 89 Cent, Edeka 🙈🥺
    27
  1104. The fact that I can understand half of these comments tells me that I pay attention in my German class :)
    26
  1105. My great grandmother was interviewed through that same project in rural Arkansas. She was recorded primarily singing bluegrass songs. It’s very special to have those now.
    26
  1106. Thanks for the subtitles!
    26
  1107. If any proper person has ever watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off then you would obviously know that there is a large German influence and population in Chicago. Recall the German parade that Ferris crashed to sing along Danke Schoen.
    26
  1108. Absolutely do a part 3. I find this kind of stuff endlessly fascinating. Specifically, could you talk about the education system and about hygiene? Does Germany do what the UK does, where the last 2 years of high school are optional, and purely college prep? I've heard that the vocational programs in Germany are very well-developed compared to the U.S. As far as hygiene, is it common to shower daily in Germany?
    26
  1109. Im from the Midwest and there’s definitely a lot more Mexican people and Hispanics in general than you think then. I live down south now where people think there’s more but the Hispanic food is just as good. My boyfriend is Central American and I’ve been with Mexican people too and they say it’s very good here.
    26
  1110. Welcome back, right forearm! :)
    26
  1111. Thanks! Very educational as always.
    26
  1112. You just made me think of the way I heard my American host mother pronounce ibuprofen.
    26
  1113. Alfred Hitchcock was also fluent in German. He even appeared on a German talk show on TV in the 1960s and spoke German in it.
    26
  1114. Tips for Ben: Find music you like in German. One song that has worked great for me to learn basic word opposites is 'Frau & Mann' by Lindemann. Watch German TV shows or movies. I also talk to my cats in German. They don't know when I mess up. I also recently bought a cook book in German, and I'm going to attempt to make something out of it, but you don't have one, you could also look up German restaurant menus and translate them. I feel like learning food is fairly essential. Also, when you learn a phrase in German that the sentence is structured different than in English, repeat it word for word in English with the German grammar, so you'll quickly pick up on where words get put in the sentence.
    26
  1115. This video was tons of fun and fascinating. Hope you make part 2. Liked your perspective on everything including guns.
    26
  1116. In Dec 2013 during our 4th year in Florida I caught a bad case of homesickness. And the cure was a weekend trip to the Christmas market in Chicago. Could smell the market from block away and almost started crying. Soooooo good to be there
    26
  1117. You went from 50 k to 60k in a week! Great Job! You deserve it! There's not enough wholesome content on YouTube!
    26
  1118. As a swede who's studied Japanese I have to say that they BUTCHERED both of those languages so badly I can't even understand what they're saying. It's also kind of fun hearing how you explain the literal translations of german words as they're pretty much identical to how the Swedish words are made up (Naturwissenschaften = Naturkunskap [Nature science/knowledge], Kugelschreiber = Kulspetspenna [ball | point | pen], Ûberraschung = Överraska [over | hurry/rush], Kanarienvogel = Kanariefågel (works exactly the same way as in German), Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung = Hastighetsbegränsning [speed | limitation]. We also have Gänseblümchen and Margeriten here, we call Gänseblümchen Tusensköna (literally translated it means thousand beauty/small cute thing) and Margeriten Prästkragar (literally meaning priest collars).
    26
  1119. Hmm. I had no idea the my "7" was weird for Americans, as I've barely ever left here! I've always put the dash through it to help distinguish it from "1."
    26
  1120. Another large group of Pennsylvania Dutch speaking Amish are in Holmes County, Ohio. I believe that their version of Pennsylvania Dutch is a little different than that of Lancaster, PA. A different dialect, but I think they can understand each other pretty well. Kind of like American English and British English, perhaps? Great video, Feli!
    26
  1121. When an American goes to Germany and orders a pepperoni pizza though! hahaha
    26
  1122. Great video and thanks for tackling this head on. I think the West in general can learn from how German has handled itself since WW2. Americans in particular can learn that their conceptions of Freedom, Justice, right and wrong are particular to their Nation.
    26
  1123. Thank you so much for this video. As a fellow German growing up in Germany I have the same experiences and thoughts as Feli. It is however very useful to get another perspective and helps me understand the American aspect and reasons behind it. Your video makes me reflect and think about this topic and it makes me happy as I feel more educated now!!
    26
  1124. Let's go for the 100 k !
    26
  1125. Growing up watching Hogan's Heroes is how I learned some of the 'famous' German words.
    26
  1126. Please do a second part. I lived and went to highschool in the US for two years and can relate to almost all of your experiences. It's always nice watching your videos!
    25
  1127. Hello Feli! I am from Taiwan ☺️ I‘ve been a vegan for some years because I don’t really like meat and also I really love animals! Just want to tell you that I like what you’ve said in the video! I can also feel that in recent years, a lot more people in Taiwan start to try plant-based diet! In Taiwan, it’s normal for people to hear a person not eating meat because of our traditional religion, but it’s not so normal to be vegetation or vegan because of other reasons such as not loving the texture or smell of meat or ethical/animal/environmental reasons. As a result, it’s super easy for people who don’t eat meat to find food here in Taiwan, but those who don’t eat meat for religious reason usually don’t eat leek, garlic, green onion and some other specific things. But there are so many restaurants in Taiwan for those people! Literally everywhere especially in small town. I personally don’t really like the dishes they provide, so I would prefer cooking myself or go to “vegetation/vegan (friendly)” restaurant which is not so common in Taiwan. It’s becoming more popular recently but only in big city such as Taipei, Taichung or Tainan and Kaohsiung. These are my experience in Taiwan☺️
    25
  1128. Like many others I find your presentations fascinating. What is so great is the presentation. Your straightforward approach without a bunch of fluff is very much appreciated and adds to the enjoyment. Please stay safe. I do hope that your friends and family in Munchen are safe also. I do miss Dahlmiers (sp.)!
    25
  1129. Wow, American Feli, the Great Dictator. I love it!
    25
  1130. I remember my mom buying new pants in the early 90's because David Hasselhoff was supposed to visit our town in germany. We called them her "David Hasselhoff pants". we're still making fun of her for it. :D
    25
  1131. Damn, no wonder that took you a month! I just looked at that was 35 minutes?! I was riveted the whole time. Amazing trip and very informative! Have a wonderful Christmas weekend with your family, Feli!
    25
  1132. Thanks for your work.. But sadly Look about all the morons in your comments. Difficult time for Freedom and Demokratie, in USA and maybe in Germany , too…
    25
  1133. yes to german accent video
    25
  1134. It's definitely on my bucket list! I'm taking notes! Enjoy, Feli and Ben! 🙂
    25
  1135. That was beautiful! Merry Christmas! ❤️😻💚
    25
  1136. Sehr gut, wahr und neutral gesprochen, anders als der andere YouTuber, der noch nie bei uns war. Ich meine von unserem Land werden keine Videos von Schießereien auf offener Straße oder Polizisten, die Menschen aufgrund ihrer Hautfarbe erschießen, verbreitet 😉. Vielleicht einfach mal her kommen und ne eigene Meinung bilden.
    25
  1137. Eine wunderbare Idee, die Originale den Disney Versionen gegenüber zu stellen.
    25
  1138. I like my cookies crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I pretty much won't eat it if it's all soft or all hard. It needs that little balance of both.
    25
  1139. I have had the pleasure of visiting Germany a few times. My son was part of a GAPP program here in Maine and his host family lives in Bad Harzburg. They are family our Family :) I tell everyone that will listen that I have left a part on my heart in Bad Harzburg <3 If I could afford it I would move there :) My wife and I enjoy your channel. Thank you.
    25
  1140. Feli, I almost never hear you make a mistake in the English, so I have to point out that the "g" in "stinginess" is soft (like "gem" not like "game") Enjoyed the video :)
    25
  1141. Someone should do a video titled "The Top 10 Reasons not to watch the World According to Briggs"! -:) Germany is great because of wonderful people like you!
    25
  1142. You guys are so great together. Very enjoyable.
    25
  1143. I support you 100% Feli! Keep putting out your amazing content, I will stick with you through it all. And yes, I would absolutely support older videos with the new branding. Here’s to moving forward successfully and even stronger! Viel Glück!
    25
  1144. For Spanish speakers, that difference between "du" and "Sie" is understood 100%.
    25
  1145. When I worked in the States, I missed getting coffee in real cups. Part of the joy of coffee is holding a real cup, drinking slowly. Similar to the comment about going to a restaurant and enjoying the experience, not just to fill your stomach.
    25
  1146. Feli: Sorry about your wrist! Hope all goes well with the surgery. I’ll give you the advice my daughter who’s an Orthopedic Physician Assistant would give: religiously follow your rehabilitation and/or physical therapy regiment after the surgery. You’ll be happy you did in the long run. And I’m very optimistic you’ll be making videos again sooner than you initially thought! Take care!!
    24
  1147. Feli, you really "hit the nail on the head" here. As an American growing up watching The Sound of Music every year on TV, it helped shape my view of the world and of my family and of music itself. I'd say it's even more than "nostalgia" or "a classic" for many Americans. I love it!
    24
  1148. "Diutisk" was first used to differentiate the ordinary language "of the people" from the latin language spoken (and written) by the clergy.
    24
  1149. What fun! Looks like a blast, Feli! Hope you and Ben are enjoying yourselves! 🙂It's My Life is a very underrated Bon Jovi song!
    24
  1150. I've seen quite a few of this sort of video and this is by far the most reasonable and respectful. It's quite refreshing after the relentless America-bashing. Thank you.
    24
  1151. I love watching you guys switching back and forth between English and German. I took four years of German in high school and shortly thereafter visited Munich. The German I had learned in high school did very little to prepare me for actually speaking German. Still, all the Germans I encountered were very happy with my attempts and seemed to find my horrible skills very entertaining. One night we were pretty much adopted by a large group of German friends our age that were out drinking and celebrating World Cup. They loved to ask me to say things in German and laugh and laugh. It was all good natured, and we had a great time. Keep up the good work!
    24
  1152. I can’t be thankful enough for bringing this up! Unfortunately I’m from a part of the world where male genital mutilation is the norm. I’m glad I protected my precious son from undergoing that torturous procedure. This issue should be brought up more often so thank you so much!!!!
    24
  1153. OMG - I LOVE THIS COLLABORATION 😅❤

  1154. Hallo Feli Ich finde das sehr mutig und toll, dass du dieses Thema ansprichst. Persönlich war mir die Tragweite nicht bekannt. Das Video hast du Super umgesetzt, sogar die Musik hat perfekt gepasst. Da hast du viel Arbeit und Herzblut reingsteckt. Ein grosses Lob meinerseits! Gruss aus der Schweiz Remo

  1155. Your pronunciation is great.
    24
  1156. Hei da, Feli! This was a fun video. My ancestors came from Wuerttemberg, Darmstadt, and Silesia. I was raised in a little village in Indiana called Millhausen/Muehlhausen. I taught linguistics for many years and English as a second language. I lived in Muenchen and have travelled extensively in Germany and Austria. I speak Hochdeutsch BUT I heard and speak dialect . Also I was raised near German speaking Amish. Just to let you know...German and German culture is very much alive here in the USA.
    24
  1157. It was incredibly nice to hear the both of you speaking German. That is one thing I miss about Germany is listening to people converse. I miss that even though I can only pick up like one word out of 20. I so wish it was the U.S.A.'s second language instead of Spanish.
    24
  1158. “You want to know what it’s like in a men’s locker room? Just a bunch of uncomfortable dudes trying to get out of there as quickly as possible … and one old guy letting it all hang out.” - HIMYM
    24
  1159. in the US you can buy and install movable showerheads but they don't come installed into the homes already, some probably do but those are usually more expensive and walk-in showers vs normal bathrooms I have a moveable shower head and you're right it's so much better you can also detach the showerhead when you move and install it in your new shower at your new home.
    24
  1160. Dude is trying though! Learning new languages is hard for some of us.
    24
  1161. BTW, one of the words you struggled to understand several times and is fairly common in Yiddish is 'mishpokhe' (which comes from Hebrew, so 100% understandable) and means 'family'. If you hang around Ashkenazi Jews, even when they're speaking English, it's a pretty common word.
    24
  1162. I've lived in the USA for almost 20 years. And even after 20 years there are still a few items I miss dearly that are very hard to get here. First of all the beer from my home town of Stuttgart or Swabia in general like Stuttgarter Hofbraeu or Alpirsbacher or Rothaus Tannenzaepfle. Then there are meats like Schwarzwurst, Lyoner, Bierwurst, etc. that--if I have a hot craving--I can order and have delivered after I rob a swiss bank, otherwise it's not available. Sausages I have never really looked for because I've found that the fresh ones you can buy in most grocery stores are acceptable. I am glad that I can get Maggi which--I agree--is much like soy sauce and great with my scrambled eggs. And with Christmas approaching, I always find myself buying gingerbread from Germany.
    24
  1163. This was fascinating! I never knew we had a NATO joint pilot training program here in the U.S. I enjoyed this video very much; thanks, Feli!
    24
  1164. Hallo Feli! I watch different channel's on YouTube to learn about Germany. Yours tho is my favorite.You are always so educational and keep your videos short and to the point! I love that! I assume making these videos is much work so congrats on doing such a great job for us your viewers. Danke!!!🙋‍♀️😊
    24
  1165. I wish there was Josh as a background dancer 🕺
    24
  1166. Eisdiele sounds like an ice dealer (which makes sense) but makes me think of some shady character making side deals of sweetened cream products down dark alleys. Oh, there’s stracciatella in the states, just not as popularly unfortunately.
    24
  1167. Congrats on 50K! From a happy American who is proud of his German heritage.
    24
  1168. Much love for gelato. Gelato is what happens to ice cream when it is reincarnated into a higher form ❤
    23
  1169. Fantastic piece. As a big Rammstein fan from the UK, it has been difficult to get a factual, balanced take on the situation. Great work Feli, thank you. You have a new subscriber 😊
    23
  1170. It never ceases to amaze me on what a talented communicator you are. I love your videos.
    23
  1171. Normally I skip ads, but holy crap, those earbuds are real? One of my childhood dreams has come true.
    23
  1172. Der spricht echt richtig gut Deutsch 😂 He speaks better german than I speak English 😂😂😂
    23
  1173. I enjoy anything with Felicia because her attitude makes her so beautiful. ---- An American Fan :)
    23
  1174. Well, I'm pretty old but I don't really remember the 16th century. But I do remember the (19-) sixties. We carved pumpkins, we put candles in them and we called them "Feuerteufel" (literally "fire devils"). Unfortunately I don't remember which day it was and what we called this day. Anyway, "Halloween" was absolutely unknown in Germany back then.
    23
  1175. What's even more common for me than "eventually" is the wrong use of "actual(ly)" (German: tatsächlich). The German word "aktuell" means current/latest. I lost count of how many times a coworker asked for the "actual version" of some document
    23
  1176. For whatever reason I stopped getting notified for your videos so I haven't kept up of late. Really happy that his video came up explaining a more European/German point of view. Very interesting hearing what you think and how things are being handled back home. Keep up the great work!
    23
  1177. Interesting vid. I love to hear about the rest of the world's differences. Hey, your vocabulary and pronunciation is flawless, but don't totally lose that german accent, it is pretty.
    23
  1178. Danke Felicia. Great observations. Two thoughts as an American: I think the hello goodbye issue is relates to the American culture in general, we are usually better with hellos, and terrible with goodbyes, almost embarrassed not knowing what to do. And I think the younger the person the more it is problematic. Part of it has to do with generations of us trying to be cool. Warm farewells are NOT cool. One thing I know from European culture is that I prefer a real farewell. Because truthfully you never know when you'll see someone again. Second observation. In Alaska the shoe rule is like Europe. That's because of mud, snow and rain. So everyone there has a mud room. (I had several German friends in Alaska.)
    23
  1179. You guys were really open with so much here. This was really insightful because of that! To your question about arguing in German I remember my Pennsylvania Dutch grandparents, who grew up speaking both German and English, would sometimes discuss their disagreements (I never remember them actually arguing) in German. It's because I wanted to understand what they were saying that I learned to speak a fair amount of Pennsylvania Dutch. Thanks, guys. Happy New Year to you both! 🎆🎉
    23
  1180. "This is my friend Veronica." Hallo, Veronica. 👋
    23
  1181. Fun fact: The word you were searching for is dexterous, derived from the Latin word for right [handedness]. On the other hand (grin!), the word sinister is derived from the Latin word for left [handedness]. Bias? P.S. There are motorized, counter-mounted can openers.... P.P.S. Interview your health care professional! Film your surgery?
    23
  1182. Spreche schon Deutsch. Schreibe trotzdem mal nen Kommentar für den Algorithmus
    23
  1183. It is a complex issue, but from my experience dealing with issues in society take on two forms. The first being accepting it and the other being rejecting it. Both have consequences, but accepting is often more productive because it acknowledges and works to better understand the nuances of the situation. In regards to sex and the US we have a culture that is curious in being obsessed and ashamed of sex. In my experience we want it, we enjoy it, but we do not discuss it. I never had talks with parents or any authority figure. The school answer was simply "don't" or "wait until marriage". It seems so many adults forget how hormones affect teenagers and that it is inevitable a percentage will have sex. At my school we had several girls get pregnant and it was all hushed whispers and put down as a "personal failing" rather than a by product of the society. I wish we would look to Germany and much of Europe as an example to make peace with our inherent sexual desires as species and better educate ourselves, especially our youth. Thank you for posting the video and offering your perspective.
    23
  1184. One interesting video! I am actually doing an exchange semester right now in Germany, living in a shared flat with people from all around the world! Have travelled before, but this experience is unforgettable- first time in Germany and I was alone! Going back home in late March, can't wait to see my closest people! <3
    23
  1185. I'd never heard of Nick, but he's a good match for Felicia in this video!
    23
  1186. You go girl! Obviously you've done the research to contradict this vlogger's inaccuracies.
    23
  1187. I haven't even watched this video yet but I want to say thank you for bringing up issues like this so the rest of us in different parts of the world can learn. My husband and I just went to South Africa and we had absolutely no clue that they have been having power issues for years. They do "load shedding" where they just lose power every single day for a certain amount of time (hours per night at minimum). Additionally it could happen at any time randomly not just at the expected hours. It was really surprising to know people have been living like that since 2008.
    23
  1188. Ich sage immer "informations" und ärgere mich immer wieder, dass ich es einfach nicht abtrainiert bekomme :D
    23
  1189. Beautiful ladies and beautiful scenery! Fun video, looked like you two had a good time.
    23
  1190. I answer differently every time. It depends on how I feel at the moment. According to various DNA tests my ancestry is from 16 different regions.
    23
  1191. I read my daughter all the Grimm Stories.
    23
  1192. That's just sooo cool. Was following Nalf with his things, discovered you doing your stuff... and now you are chatting together ! How cool is that ! Please, yes, indeed, do more of these conversations ! Thumbs up !
    23
  1193. I am female. In a Paris Restaurant : After using the toilet I went over to the sink to wash my hands. I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the faucet. Surprise #1: A male patron showed up (! Mixed bathrooms almost never happens in the USA) . He showed me a contraption below the sink that you push with your knee. That thing turns on the water. Makes complete sense. Once you know about it!
    22
  1194. My parents were in the Penn Dutch Country and Mom was shopping. Dad was holding down a bench outside when two Amish women sat down next to him. They spoke German so the "English" guy couldn't understand them. What they didn't know is this "English" was born to immigrants from near Heidelberg and that until he had to go to Kindergarten he only spoke German! -he understood everything they said!
    22
  1195. I am German but can totally agree with everything you said about Americans vs. Germans and I really do like it the friendliness and openness a lot! What I prefer in Germany though is our bread and health system. If I could move to another country, the Netherlands would be my choice. I have been there in different parts a loooot of times and experience that people are so much more open and easy going than here as well. Their social system is pretty stable and I like the wideness and mostly green landscape there a lot.
    22
  1196. Unser Dr. Sommer!
    22
  1197. Sometimes when I try to speak English with friends I wonder what some german words mean in english. Thanks for the Video from Germany =)
    22
  1198. Haha this comparison is really hitting home for me! I’m a German living in the UK and here, I see a lot of similarities with the US! When my English boyfriend and I moved together I was really a bit shocked by the English double/king size beds because we only could get one large mattress. But worst of all, my boyfriend insisted on having one large duvet instead of two single ones which I HATED! But when he visited my parents’ home for the first time where we would have single duvets, he realised their massive benefits (me not stealing most of the blanket anymore) so once we got home we changed this. 😁 Funny thing is that my now parents in law were super confused when they saw that we had single duvets in our home 😂. The biggest thing I miss though are the German roller shutters. 😢 I never get our bedroom as dark as it was back home. Despite blackout curtains + blackout blinds. 😭 Oh and personally I really like the “American beds” as well. We call them Divan Beds in the UK and they often come with storage drawers underneath. Or you can get Ottoman beds which is essentially the same but you can lift the entire bit with the mattress up and have a massive storage area inside the bed. ❤
    22
  1199. I work at a dmv in the u.s. and any card transactions have an additional fee. Its a percentage, so if your total is 2000 dollars, you'd pay an extra 50 bucks or so just to use the card. We have a lot of people write checks to avoid this fee.
    22
  1200. I am Brazilian married to an American. It is some work to mesh both cultures, but so much fun too. I agree we are always missing family and friends, but we make up for it and make sure the time spent together is worth it. Great video Feli!
    22
  1201. Hi I’m a German girl in America too!
    22
  1202. Thoughtful, balanced and well presented. All the best from UK 🙂
    22
  1203. I love your videos. Before meeting a friend in college that is from Berlin and then your videos I thought German was harsh because of World War 2 videos, but I quickly found out that it was nice and relatively soft. I’d love to visit Germany for the culture, people, and the history.
    22
  1204. Germany is not socialist! Do people who say this stuff even know what socialism is??
    22
  1205.  @johnclaybaugh9536  Right. Blame the victim.
    22
  1206. I am impressed with the amount of research you must do. I do enjoy your channel. Thank you kindly. 🎉
    22
  1207. Another one of the classics: A friend of mine, also Austrian, was out with friends from the UK when her battery died and she asked one of them: "Can you give me your handy"? And he looked at her, confused, and hesitantly reached his hand out to her... ;)
    22
  1208. You help me learn so much about Germany. Being a german by heritage myself, I still find your channel fascinating. Thank you SO much!!!!
    22
  1209. I'm not a German native and even I can tell when some of these actors speak German wrong or with an accent.
    22
  1210. My grandmother was German & she made them 4 us grandkids as well as her kids when they 1st started school 4 kindergarten & filled them with baked goods, school supplies So me & my cousins were the only 1s 2 have them She & my grandfather lived on a farm in northern west Virginia
    22
  1211. Please never delete this video! Your reading is almost melodic, and I want to make hearing this video a Christmas tradition going forward. Thank you, and Merry Christmas Felicia!
    22
  1212. As someone who worked at Walmart peak black Friday 2016-2021, yeah it was a madhouse. Before the pandemic black Friday would start 6pm on Thanksgiving day and run thru the weekend till cyber Monday. Have to hire security those days and watch out for stampedes. Covid definitely changed how people reacted to black Friday because a lot of stores open at 6am instead of midnight now. So yes, busy, but not as chaotic as prepandemic but I think online shopping has a big impact as well. Glad you were able to get some experience of the chaos 😅
    22
  1213. Where was this video 2 years ago when I needed it? 🙃
    22
  1214. I am honestly shook by the amount of comments, in which people state they are / would vote for AfD. It's almost like those people have not learned anything from history. Neither from the 3rd Reich nor by recent American politics. The AfD's Chancellor candidate, Alice Weidel, has recently given an interview in 'Bild am Sonntag', where she talks about potentially nominating Bjoern Hoecke as part of the administration. A judge had ruled that Bjoern Hoecke is legally allowed to be called a 'fascist', due to statements he made. This is not a joke. Germany is SO close to making the same mistake, we made 90 years ago.
    22
  1215. Thank You, as a German-American you have made this Christmas very special for me. Frohe Weihnachten
    22
  1216. You did the best job explaining this I’ve seen. And I’m glad someone gave it more credit then being poor German.
    21
  1217. Yes, I’m interested in learning about free speech in Germany, so I think a video on that topic by you would be a great idea.
    21
  1218. You are the only person who I would contribute a Patreon for, and you don't have a Patreon..............
    21
  1219. Ritter cornflakes is the best flavor!
    21
  1220. Beautiful!!!! It takes me back - I visited Munich in January, 13 years ago. I hope to go back someday. My husband and I are saving for a trip and waiting until the kids are older.
    21
  1221. Im German and it seems that I actually didnt know anything about Allianz whatsoever xD Danke für's Aufklären!
    21
  1222. I love you videos! They are fun, informative and you are very relatable as a fellow german, loving to see the similarities and differences. Thank you :)
    21
  1223. I have heard from other channels that Europeans find Americans to be very optimistic. I think this is something that is very different in the larger city areas because there is more constant movement. In Nebraska (where I live), people tend to be more reserved and modest in the country areas. Thank you for the video.
    21
  1224. I was raise Catholic, and still a practicing the faith, so many of the holidays you mention are very familiar to me. It appears that May 1st is pretty much a holiday everywhere around the globe except in the United States. I work in the auto industry with people from many different nations around the world, and they confirmed this for me. Great video Felicia! Keep up the good work.
    21
  1225. This is my idea for the challenge: I've been to Dresden last October and visited some Castles in the surroundings of the city. Germany has a lot of beautiful castles. So I suggest the challenge to be him saying the name of 20 to 30 German castles (a good variety of names, exploring diverse pronunciations). O rmaybe some sentences with the castles names.
    21
  1226. Yeah seen alot of them Toyota's go 300,000+ miles. You should be OK. as long as you keep up on the maintenance.
    21
  1227. I learned "Dummkopf" a LONG time before I ever started learning German. Another good English word for Spiel would be Pitch. "He gave us the Spiel about the Timeshare." "He gave us his sales pitch about the Timeshare." One of my German friends told me about "eine Maß" when I was asking about Steins once. He said that was basically 1 liter of beer. (Ich trinke aber keinen Alkohol, weil er mir zu bitter schmeckt 😅) I remember learning a different word for chair (we did learn Stuhl too), because one of my teachers was from Austria, so we learned der Sessel. I know sometimes Bayern uses similar or the same words as Österreich, since they're pretty close to each other. Do you use Sessel as well? Ausgezeichnetes Video, wie immer 😎
    21
  1228. I love your videos! I was an exchange student to Sweden and it really influenced the person I am today ethically and politically. I also love language and have participated in German, Swedish, French, and Spanish clases. I am in awe of multilingual people. Thank you for your work!
    21
  1229. Great video. You chose meaningful questions to answer and I really appreciate it. You are such a great ambassador for Europe and Germany in particular.
    21
  1230. „Ich liebe deine große, wunderbare Welle mit einer großen roten Haaren, Conan.“ das sagt sie. ;)
    21
  1231. Anyways, I'm new to your channel as of today. My friends know I am trying to learn German, so I was sent one of your videos and have listened/watched several of them now. I love the videos, and I would love to visit Germany one day! I've definitely subscribed to your channel, and I look forward to seeing more of your content, and future videos! ((I realize this may be an odd place to post this, as it's almost 2 years old now, but I've let the videos play in whatever order YouTube puts them in, and this was the video I felt I should comment on.) [= Keep up the good work! [:
    21
  1232. A truely "professional" video. As always: pleasant end entertaining. Have a great x-mas '21!
    21
  1233. I've never been able to bring myself to try Cincinnati style chili, lol. Maybe I will next time I have an opportunity. Glad you and they had so much fun--this was a very fun video, Feli! 🙂
    21
  1234. I don't know if this counts as a "culturshock", but my family and I went to a tour around Australia in 2001 and we happened to have a farmstay over there for one night. And because we all were able to speak english (more or less) we talked the whole evening long in english to our "farmers". The next day the trip continued and I really had to translate the english sentences in my head back to german. Another thing I noticed back then when we returned was that you were allowed by that time to smoke in Germany at the airport which was really annoying to me after two non smoking weeks. I'm not a smoker myself but I never realized how much that was able to bother me...
    21
  1235. Erstmal Danke für den tollen Beitrag :) One thing I want to add is, that a lot of people seem to be confusing laws restricting their freedom of opinion with public or indiviual backlash against an expressed opinion. The typical middle aged guy in the office complaining about "Nichts darf man mehr sagen!" when he is called out that his misogynistic jokes are not really that funny.
    21
  1236. Kabelsalat ≈ rat's nest ≈ a tangled ball, or bunch, of cable or tubing, usually electrical wires Also, I have used "earworm" a few times. I probably first saw it in print a long time ago. A useful term because I have them all the time.
    21
  1237. Once again a fantastic explanation for the situation. And it shows: The reasons for it are numerous and there is not THE one reason why it is how it is, although the war is the main reason why it got that bad.
    21
  1238. Feli, this was a great way to end the series. Besides beer German baked goods are what I miss the most. I prefer the German pastries and bread hands down over the American style. One of life simple pleasures were bratwurst between a brotchen with mustard, french fries with mayonnaise and a beer. Sehr lecker! The small town bakeries were the best and I miss them a lot. Thanks for making my mouth water.
    21
  1239. Rezo hat ebenfalls gut eingeordnet.
    21
  1240. 6:00 „high crime rate“ THANK you, for clarification this other video is just trumping (making up fake news).
    21
  1241. Grüß gott, Felicia. Somehow the algorithm gods recommended your channel to me. What hooked me, aside from your lovely aura, was the fact that you are from München. I am a New Yorker that embarked on a 10 year quest to visit 100 countries and all 50 US states by the time I was 30. I started 2 months after my 20th Geburtstag, and began my travels in a small town called Xela, Guatemala to study Spanish. At the Spanish school I made 2 friends. A lovely girl named, Nadine, from Switzerland, and a gentleman from München, named Andre. We bonded and traveled throughout Central America together. I was going to be in Spain for a month, so when I arrived to Europe for the very first time, Andre told me to come on by to München. He was going on many job interviews with Siemens, Bosch, etc. and said to use the apt for as long I wanted. I lived on Pilgersheimer Straße; went on jogs in the evening; bought delicious bread every morning. This is when the Deutsche Marke was still around. Everything felt like it was half price for me. I really cherished my time there. Andre is now a Prof. Dr. in München, and I'm a biomedical engineer in Phoenix, Arizona. Looking to head back this autumn, as it will be 20 years since I've been in Bavaria. Anyways, hope you are well and wish you all the best. Auf Wiedersehen!

  1242. Griaß Di, Feli! Ich bin der Christian aus Mühldorf und ich find Deine Arbeit der Analyse des Texas-Deutschen echt gut. Ich möchte dazu anmerken, dann ich Schwiegereltern hatte, die im Donauschwäbischen - also dem Grenzgebiet zwischen Ungarn, rumänien und Jugoslawien - aufgewachsen sind und dann nach Deutschland kamen. Diese Zuwanderer wurden oft als "Batschka-Deutsche" verunglimpft und bezogen auf die Sprache konnte ich viele Ähnlichkeiten und Gemeinsamkeiten finden. Verstanden hab ich alles von den Videos. Gar kein Problem. Gerade auch diese Endungen und weichen Konsonanten konntest/kannst Du auch im Donau-Schwäbischen finden. Ich fand das wirklich sehr interessant und absoluten Respekt für Deine Arbeit! Mach weiter so!
    20
  1243. The thing that got me was the "..30 years to learn the German language..." comment. My father only lived in Germany as a service member in the 50's for 2 years and having had no experience with the language ahead of time came back very fluent in the language. My brother also served on a base in Germany, Munich, in fact, and while he did learn German in school, he found it very easy to learn. As have I although I am in no way fluent--haha. In just comparing the German language to American-English, a huge percentage of the language is derived from Germanic root words so the transition, I found is actually rather simple. You do have to get used to the conjunction of words as Briggs described, but that's simply a syntactical shift which isn't really difficult to make. Of course, I am a computer programmer, so syntax is my thing. This guy sounded like he was trying to be funny, but really, I found his approach very off-putting and biased. I am nearly 60 years old this year and hope soon to go to Europe now that I am close to retirement and I hope to spend time in Germany. It has a beautiful and rich culture that I find appealing and want to experience up close and personal. Oh! And graffiti? Really? As far as I'm concerned, the real way to combat that would be to set up art schools and studios for these folks as many of their murals are insanely artistic. I love following your channel as I find you to be MUCH more subjective in your delivery of information. Please keep up the great work.
    20
  1244. Thank you, Feli I've never heard my issue with eating meat explained so well by anyone, and I feel so seen right now! Danke vielmals :)

  1245. Feli - In America for a room to be called a bedroom it MUST have a closet with a door and a window to the outside. If there is no closet it cannot legally be called a bedroom. As for why American homes have gas stoves goes back to the 1960s with the gasification of America. TV shows like the "Beverly Hillbillies" were sponsored by the gas companies and talked about gas stoves in the show to get people interested in gas. Gas costs a lot less than electricity. It's not common to see induction electric stoves. I've been told they are popular for upscale Germans. I like your shorter format, (5-10 mins) videos. Have you ever considered working in the TV/film business in Hollywood? You would be good at it.
    20
  1246. As far as I know a picture is not an obligation anymore. Although most people will probably include a photo.
    20
  1247. Both of them are extremely attractive, charming and intelligent specimen of their respective countries. Should almost be considered false advertising.
    20
  1248. I am originally from England and I now live in Austria. It's interesting a lot of the things you said were actually correct in English English but not American English. Perhaps that''s because German speakers visit England more? Heavy, too much, nice, drive-in, public viewing, mixer and peeling (typically a peel or a peeling) can be used exactly the same way in London as in German. Safe is a very common London inner city slang when used the German way. It can be used in lots of different ways from describing someone as "safe" synonym for reliable, or saying something like "did you bring the gear? ya bruv, safe." Using the term Shooting in terms of Cameras is not really used but in terms of film it is strangely. You can be shooting a film in the street. Or say they have closed the street for shooting (meaning TV) in English English. Weirdly enough a casting for us is slightly distinct to an audition, I would say a casting is very much more specific than an audition. A casting is all about fitting a person to a role whereas an audition is about finding a person that can create a role. You cast extras you audition your main lead. For Partner Look I would say matching or matching outfits. Love you videos by the way, interesting seeing the world from the other side :)
    20
  1249. What I love most about the change in meat consumption is that you don't get asked about it all the time. Used to be you ordered a vegetarian dish at a restaurant and immediately someone would ask if you don't eat meat ("No sausage either? No chicken?..... ") . Now it's just normal.
    20
  1250. You're lovely!
    20
  1251. Congrats on 50K subscribers! Wow, I discovered the channel just in the last week and binged every video. Glad to see you are being rewarded for your hard work

  1252. "You never know how life works" definitely true. I ended up living in Germany, a country I grew up next to, but never imagined living in.
    20
  1253. I love your culture! Carnival seems so much fun, is it similar to Brazil's Carnival?About the jelly filled donuts, my Dunkin Donuts used to carry Bavarian creme donuts, yummy! Thanks so much for sharing your culture.

  1254. 0:25 Those comments are so strange! I have never ever heard anyone proudly declare that their country is not a democracy, and say that's a good thing! That is so odd, especially considering how many countries that aren't democracies love to claim they are. I thought it was a universally recognised good thing to be.

  1255. Feli, I am very grateful and proud of you for this YouTube post. This information is known... has been known yet little has been done to really stop this plague. Thank you again for this insightful view!!
    20
  1256. This sounds like a really cool trip!
    20
  1257. So interesting and well researched as always. As an American who lived in Germany my German friends never celebrated Valentine's and I thought it just didn't exist in Europe. Now that I'm back in the US I look at it like you do - a nice day for a nice outing. Happy Valentine's Day!

  1258. Drum rolls and liking ranch dressing! You are officially American, Feli, whether you intended it or not! ;)
    20
  1259. Really? You have apparently never lived in some of the small USA-towns my friends and relatives spent time in or are still living in. The statistics are actually blasting this nonsensical FOXNews talking point, as rural America is more violent and sees more drug use per person than big cities now! In a place with 1000 people, it may be less likely to witness violence, than in a city of 2 million. HOWEVER, if the big city has 100 murders/year, and the small town has 1, or maybe just 3 bar fights a year, that is actually more than the big city has at 2000 times the population! Do the math! 1 murder in a town of 1000, which is NOT uncommon, translates to 2000 in that city of 2million!

  1260. Fantastic, you did a great job! I was wondering how Germany was dealing with this. I think there’s hope for the future….❤

  1261. Ok Felicia. Apparently, this guy never lived in Germany. I lived there for nearly three years (Frankfurt area), and I LOVED it! Where do I begin? Ok, well it was early 1986 to almost 1989, so maybe I’m behind the times! I was 20-23 years old and had a blast. Weather. Weather across Europe, not just Germany, sucks. It rains constantly...but in the summer, when it’s sunny, it’s so beautiful! Everyone goes outside. I was in Berlin twice; I think when he mentioned cold winters, that is what he might’ve been referring to. It was January 1-4, and below zero. Otherwise, German winters were mild. But I live in Pittsburgh now, so it rains everyday here, and rarely snows (usually not until like March!). Second, safety. I lived in Germany at a time when the Red Army Faction was terrorizing the country. The Polizei, however, were extremely effective. They were helpful and courteous, but could definitely maintain order! Three. Paying to go potty. Yes, not much of an issue though when one considers how clean the WCs were. I tried to always give the old lady a little more. Four. Language. I speak several languages, but at the time spoke no German. By the time I left, I spoke it quite well (even with a Bavarian accent). It was by far the easiest language to learn, since English is derived from German. Five. Taxes. As an American abroad, I didn’t have to pay German income tax. I will say that car insurance was crazy. It went by the cars horsepower, so if you owned a powerful car, the insurance was high (but the car payments could be for 20 years, so low). Six. Shopping. No 24 hour convenience stores. That was annoying, but then “The bier man is here!” The guy came regularly to our apartment building, it was great! Even McDonalds served beer—and even the worst beer in Germany is much better than anywhere else! I don’t know what else to say. At that time, wages were much higher there than here, and the standard of living was pretty much the same. I visited every country in Europe, except Switzerland and Italy (and Scandinavia), and I gotta say, it was the best! Greece had much better weather, but it was filthy there. The train system was awesome, the Autobahns were ingenious, parking sucked, but then I lived in a very big city. I wish I could go back—especially now that there aren’t a half million Americans stationed there!

  1262. INDIVIDUALISM: You be you and I will be me.

  1263. Thank you. I was looking forward for this video🙏
    20
  1264. important fact: In Germany your school schedule varies every day. In high school at least when I went there, you have the same subjects in the same order everyday and I think less subjects too. Also, everybody finishes school at the same time in the US and so school sports teams can practice right after school, you can meet friends after and so on. Sports in general are much more important in school life in the US, also regarding scholarships, see the money discussion
    20
  1265. As a linguistics person I love this video!
    20
  1266. It warms my lil' American heart to hear that you love living here! I know not everything about the U.S. is all sunshine and rainbows, but I've gotten so used to people from other countries speaking negatively about us or the country, itself, that it surprises me to hear of a foreign person genuinely enjoying themselves here. I hope you continue to have positive experiences in the USA! I found it funny, in watching, that I may actually prefer or identify better with many German societal/social attributes. It can be really easy to make friends and/or approach strangers here, but most of the time, I would definitely prefer people not to approach me in public, even if I know them! (LOL) That may be more related to anxiety than to anything else, but no matter the reason, the result is the same. Another great video! I'm so glad I found your channel, you betcha I hit that subscribe button so fast!
    20
  1267. Y’all are my role models when it comes to german and English! I’ve been trying to improve my English for about 4 years now and I’m getting better but I still wanna reach a point where I sound like a Native American, which is surely hard but I’m already on track to lose my accent at all and my brain still can’t progress the fact that Josh speaks these two languages like a native but you as well, like whenever you start speaking german I feel like I’m talking to a whole other person hahaha Keep up the great work!!
    20
  1268. Honestly the one actor that really threw me for a loop when I found out they were from the UK was Christian Bale. I had no flipping idea he was from Wales until 2010. His American accent is excellent.
    20
  1269. Great video! I live in Belgium and visited Küln with visiting friends from the US and Mexico. All cool and relax, conversation going on, when i got to the de-restricted parts of the autobahn i (slowly) sped-up to about 280kmh or 173mph. Suddenly the car got very quiet ... i checked my mirrors and saw people looking very, very surprised and holding on to armrests. and ceiling hand-grip. LoL It was the fastest they had ever gone, except for an airplane. I must say, Brussels to Küln (183km or 114 miles) passes quickly when you can keep going at a decent rate. ;-) Greetings from Belgium! :-)
    20
  1270. Greetings from Munich. Just wanted to express that I'm impressed by Josh's more or less accent-free German. Absolutely stunning! Never listened to an American who speaks my mother tongue that well!
    20
  1271. Interesting, in Spanish "simpático" has the same meaning as the German word. I guess the Latin root remains the same in both languages.
    20
  1272. I was a US. Army soldier in Germany 🇩🇪 in Hanau a suburb city of Frankfurt, and it was one of the best times of my life! Everywhere I went like das Bierhaus, der Flughaffen, der Gasthoff, das restaurant, etc, etc, etc, the bier was served at room temperature, aka, warm! Now, perhaps there's been a cultural change in Germany or drinking cool bier is regional, but that was at the time how it was served. Soda pop was also served at room temp mit kein eis...sheesh! Then there there was that spetzi thing, err...yeah whatever! Now, I didn't have a problem with room temp bier, as before I went to Germany I didn't even like bier, for good reason...our American beer sucks! More specifically, the large commercial beers like Budweiser and Coors. American lager beer, or Pilzen/pils or helles in Germany, tends to be bitter kind of like a weed is versus sweet corn. German bier styles like heffe-weizen, weizen, dunkels, and dopple-bok are wonderful with a sweet tinge to complement and offset the only slight bitterness of those beers and really are more like drinking a good bread! By the way, most Americans don't know Germany's biggest secret, that is, that you all bake some of the world's best bread! We don't even have a bread like volkornbrot that you can spread Nutella on for breakfast! Back to beer. The theory back in the day, and I believe it, was that one can taste more of the flavor in the bier at room temp (60°-70° F). When it's chilled too much your taste buds put on their parkas and run for cover! That's also why wine is drunk at that ideal temperature! Gun control In America is actually quite simple: Safety off and finger on the trigger when you intend to shoot and the converse of that when you don't. Well intentioned people with right motives do good things with their guns, like defend and feed their families and the innocent. Bad people do bad things with guns like robbing banks, jacking cars and killing the innocent. "Gun control" is a diversion from the actual problem. what we need isn't gun control, but criminal control because it's always the case that people control their guns, guns don't control people, therefore it's the perpetrator that needs to be controlled. When wars are fought the objective isn't to defeat the enemies weapons rather it's to defeat the enemy himself! Good citizens with guns are actually part of criminal control. In America the bearing of arms, a gun, is protected by the US Constitution so that neither the government nor anyone else with an opinion can remove that right. Our founding fathers understood why they secured that right via the Constitution because they understood human behavior, how tyrannical governments behave, and they had also experience with tyranny. They also understood that self defense is a God given right along with all rights and that arrogant, self aggrandizing people who decide that they, not God, give man their rights and can remove them willy-nilly are just another reason that American's rights have been secured and that no man can take them away lest they can take away my power to stop them! Taking away the citizens power is what gun control, and all other forms of control is really about. The free citizen, the free soul, is the best person and is how God created us and intended us to live and is summed up in the moniker "Give me liberty our give me death!"

  1273. My favourite Bavarian language movie is 'Wer Früher stirbt, ist länger tot'. It's a really fun and sad movie, totally recommend it! :)
    20
  1274. In switzerland 🇨🇭 we don't have a deposit on PET bottles since 2001 and surprisingly the recycling rate has gone up since then. I think part of the reason is that our garbage bags are quite expensive (like 26$ for a 10 pack of 60L bags) So you get basically encouraged to not fill your garbage with recyclable items wich you can throw away for free. And no you can't just take any bag for trash or it will just not be getting picked up. Unless you put on a trash sticker ( wich you also can buy) to make up for the price. Please have mercy on my english and have a nice day.

  1275. I wish they had one of these in Canton where I live... side note- I love how their website says they won "America's Best Restroom" in 2007. I hear that was a pretty competitive year.
    19
  1276. "...only the Czech and the Austrian drink more beer!" Me: "Damn well we Austrians do!"
    19
  1277. Feli, because of you I am on day 100 of learning German. It’s slow progress right now because I am in graduate school and working and have to focus on that more than anything but after graduation I plan to focus more on my language learning and get deeper into it! :)
    19
  1278. I'm glad I got to watch this video with your interjections. I don't think I could make it through his video without you. Thank you!
    19
  1279. Hot chocolate with whipped cream is not so uncommon for a relaxed breakfast here in northern germany...
    19
  1280. Sounds like 80s slang in America too. "That's heavy man." "You are too much!"
    19
  1281. Yes please - make a video of the pronunciation of German beer names. ❤️❤️❤️
    19
  1282. It's interesting to get into discussions with people in one's own area to see how language changes in the same area across generations and demographic groups. Growing up in Michigan's upper peninsula, a knit winter hat was called a chuke. Downstate, it was called a winter hat. My children's generation have adopted the broadly popularized beanie to describe the same hat. In my generation a beanie was a smaller, brimless, felt (or canvas) hat that looked similar to an oversized yarmulke. When my kids want to surreptitiously tell me they love me, they reference their winter hats as chukes in my hearing. <3 Also, when they want to grate my ears, they say SEER-up instead of SIR-up. Those little buggers! ;-)
    19
  1283. It is so funny in my opinion in both sides that famous persons are pronounced so differently😂😂
    19
  1284. Oh man wish I could! Loved my visit to Austria back in 04. Enjoy, all! I'm sure Feli will be an amazing tour guide.
    19
  1285. Sehr gutes video, Danke! I know that in Wisconsin, which has quite a lot of German heritage, )my Grandmother was a first generation American born shortly after her family immigrated from German) we have quite a lot of hard crusted bread. rye and marble rye especially but also normal loaves. I think the soft breads similate the 'just our of the oven' softness and with a lot of smart advertising, ie Wonder Bread, we are used to having it. Personally, if it isn't wamr, I would rather have a hard cookie, like the special sugar cookies my GroBmuter would make for Christmas!
    19
  1286. I just wanted to add a small correction. Feli said that in the US if you have a stove/oven combo, and the stove is gas, then you'll have a gas oven. This is more common, but not necessarily true. My Mom has a Gas Stove and an Electric Oven which is one combination piece. This means when the electricity goes out, she can use the stove, but not the oven. They are called "Duel Fuel"
    19
  1287. Egg-laying Woolmilk-Sow. Oh, well, it's not a curse word. But it's funny to say
    19
  1288. Feli, I ran across your videos only a couple of weeks ago and am enjoying both the light hearted videos as well as the more serious videos. Thanks and keep up the good work!
    19
  1289. Immer wieder schön zu sehen wie auch andere Kulturen spaß an solchen festen haben. War zwar noch nie aufn oktoberfest aber auf vergleichbaren wie zb. Kiliani in Würzburg oder Berg in Erlangen. Find des richtig stark das du solche Videos machst und anderen Menschen unsere Kultur näherbringst und uns was von anderen erzählst, mach weiter so. Grüße aus Unterfranken
    19
  1290. I feel like this sort of healthy mindset towards criticism is more common in Germany than in the US - one of the things I like about the country.
    19
  1291. You two are a wonderful match! A sweet guy for a sweet girl! About sharing your private life with us… the thing is, nobody lives in a vacuum. You are you because of the choices you made along the way. When you are telling us personal stories, such as you guys rescuing a cat, that’s actually very revealing about what kind of persons you are. It makes you more human, more approachable… not that that has ever been a problem. But I feel knowing who your friends are adds a little something to your already wonderful YouTube channel! Nice to meet you Ben! Mach weiter so, Feli, und alles Gute für Euch Zwei! ❤️❤️
    19
  1292. Well done! Having been in the US since 2002 this is something I had to explain over and over and over again. I'm Swabian and am from a tiny village called Haigerloch just outside the Black Forrest. In many ways our Trachten are very similar to Bavaria, but we have the better Oktoberfest except that we call it Canstatter Volksfest :). A few of my favorite Swabian specialties are Linsen und Spaetzle, Maultaschen and Saure Kuttle.
    19
  1293. Great personality, great attitude, smart and adorable. I'd say your green card lottery win was a win for the US as well. Welcome!
    19
  1294. Awesome video, this looks like a super fun way to have fascinating conversations on die Autobahn! Safe travels!
    19
  1295. When I was in Munich in Christmas of 2019 I loved all the vegan options from Lidl to restaurants. Plus fun stuff at the Christmas markets from the huge pretzels to the chestnut soup. I miss it a lot.
    19
  1296. Apples and Oranges. I like both. One thing though in US brands of ice cream; there is a lot a variation in product. Häagen-Dazs (sounds Danish, right? American actually) is extremely high in fat (cream), very rich. Ben and Jerry's is flavorful, but less rich. Blue Bell (Texas) has a really fantastic texture (especially their Dutch Chocolate). And then there are traditional stores like Basken Robbins with all those choices, half the fun putting multiple flavors together. Cheap brands tend to be a lot less fat content and thus less fullness in the mouth. I like Gelato too, especially the tangy fruits which really erupt in your mouth. But they have a less fullness feel in the mouth than American Ice Cream (I grew up in Canada and ours was like American). I would say one difference is North Americans just grow up more milk oriented (drinking milk) than Europeans, that would be my best guess. Or it's like anything, you like what you grow up with. How can you explain why Americans like Root Beer? My wife (non-American) think it tastes like soap. As to temperature. Traditionally ice cream is consumed mostly in Summer. On a hot day its a race, especiually for kids, to finish the ice cream before it melts. It's generally a lot hotter in the US than Europe so those extra degrees (with a larger US scoop) just might make it possible to get home without a screaming kids at the end.
    19
  1297. Dear Feli, in the Netherlands we see the same trend as in Germany. My eldest daughter (26) is a complete vegatarian and also me, who has been always a great consumer of meat, has reduced the intake of meat drastacly. In all the major supermarket chains there's a wide variety of plantbased products. This trend is, so far, not followed by the many Polish and Turkish supermarkets in Rotterdam.
    19
  1298. Ah, the good old days; saving up all those Book-It coupons so I could enjoy an epic feast at Pizza Hat.
    19
  1299. Disappointed that your series is over. As for cookies, I would have to side with cookie monster (sesame street). C is for cookie. That's good enough for me.
    19
  1300. Love your factual and organized account of the timeline and incidents that led to this election. These things are often not talked about in US centric news. Thanks for always highlighting how current affairs are often mimicking the tragedies of the past. Good on Germans for organizing and speaking out! Wish people would do so more here!
    19
  1301. Sorry I'm late :D I was like "nuh, I've seen so many Oktoberfest Videos, they're usually all the same" but now I watched it and i'm stunned! This was the best Oktoberfest Video I've ever seen. Your stories and the narration was so well done, it almost felt like I was there. Top quality!
    19
  1302. 10:10 To add to this: In 2016/2017 Germany also changed the laws so that things got classified as sexual assault which were previously not. Grabbing a stranger without consent was classified as an insult and not an assault as long as the victim didn't have the chance to not give consent. (I could explain further, but the point is they changed the definition.) So that kind of insult wasn't in the crime statistic previously. If you compared the number of cases without a change of definition, then both sexual insults and sexual assaults went down in that timeframes.
    19
  1303. Definitely missing "Muskelkater" and "doch" as useful words, and "Pissnelke" as a funny word/ insult :D
    19
  1304. Time stamps - you really are a German. I think it is fun to learn to pronounce names as as native speaker would pronounce them. Like many non-EN words we often pronounce them like they are spelled - in EN. I have spent a lot of time learning to pronounce names of all sorts of thing in Spanish (Mexican ES) and now I am going to tackle these in German. Oh, and the brief history lesson was a super nice touch and really fun as well. It is widely thought that Trades Joes and ALDI are the same owner in the U.S.A. Now I find that this is not true. You could consider a video on the differences between these two grocery stores. I like Trader Joes because the help is super friendly and talk to me like I am neighbor. The stores a neat and well organised. ALDI is the opposite. If you find someone to help - make a note because it is extremely unusual. That having a quarter thing is crazy, I do not carry change. The help sits - which I find odd - and they are in such a freaking hurry I always feel rushed. It would be fun to hear your take on the stores from a German POV.
    19
  1305. I'd like to have air conditioning. It's no fun to live under the roof when it's 35 ° C or more outside. Outside light switches are super annoying 😁
    19
  1306. Hello from Austin Texas!!! Such a big fan
    19
  1307. Great video! Your English is excellent, in fact your accent is almost undetectable.
    19
  1308.  @Nebraska2927  Schools are a general education Institute meaning that you should learn a lot of general stuff that you can later learn more about if/when you educate yourself further. Sex education is a part of human biology and I do believe that it is subject that should be taught in schools. It is also part of physical education where you should learn Basic functions about being a human. So about nutrition fact, allergies and so forth.. Also it is quite difficult to learn important things like how to prevent sexually transmitted deseases and such without discussing about sex. This is also a subject that should be covered in a biology class and also in PE.
    19
  1309. I always pronounce audi as it's said in Germany and I can't tell you how many times people try to correct me to say it with the American slang.
    19
  1310. This channel has been so much fun to learn all sorts of interesting things. Just little things you'd never think of and Felicia thinks to make a video about it. One of these days I'm heading to Germany and now I'll know just a little bit more about it before I go.
    19
  1311. Kris is a good actress. She should be on a sitcom.
    18
  1312. I really appreciate your channel! Although I'm Native American , I was taken in by a German family growing up and I enjoy hearing your perspective on the differences in culture, since I come from a totally different angle on German/American culture.
    18
  1313. People who say that don't even understand US tax brackets, lol. People who study economics will tell you Americans are actually very highly taxed given how little services we get back for our tax money. Very interesting video as always, Feli! Hope you're staying warm this week! 🙂
    18
  1314. Thanks for the video. I've never been to a music festival, so it was great seeing what one was like. Glad you guys had fun.
    18
  1315. This is so cool, I am a Cincinnati native who’s going to spend time in Munich!! It’s a small world ☺️
    18
  1316. If your favorite movie(s) were the "Back to the Future" trilogy, I forgive you for being a vegetarian.
    18
  1317. Auditioning is done by the prospective cast member. Casting is done by the observer or decision maker. We use both.
    18
  1318. That was really cool Feli! When I studied foreign language my teacher loved how my accent fell into that language when speaking, it is the ear. If a good man does not capture your heart, it is their loss. Through highs and lows may life always smile upon you, your feet always find the straight true path, and your eyes remain bright and clear... :-)
    18
  1319. I'm a German and this is a very good and accurate video with two exceptions where I disagree STRONGLY: 1. "Eisendrache" is NOT "ice dragon" but "iron dragon". I have no idea why she made that mistake since it's very clear. 2. "6" and "sex are pronounced profoundly different and German ears are not insensitive to the difference. While there are dialects in which the voiced "s" sounds more or less like the voiceless (like in Bavarian which is Feli's dialect) in the majority of Germany the distinction is very VERY clear.
    18
  1320. Kinder und Hausmärchen are so much better than the Disney versions. I am American and I grew up with the original Grimm tales. It sparked a love for fairy tales and fantasy that is a huge part of who i am. Thank you Germany.
    18
  1321. Yes, please break down the campaigns! Vielen Dank!
    18
  1322. AMAZING! I wonder in the next month or so could you cover the Christmas Markets? Or have you and I missed it?
    18
  1323. Interesting observations especially about shooting.
    18
  1324. This is totally legit! I got our first oil change in Germany a few weeks ago and I asked them when they recommended our next one and they said in 2 YEARS! I was used to getting them every 4-6 months in the US! I was so shocked I asked around to figure out if I got scammed 😂 (I also do know to get one sooner if I reach the mileage first before time 😊)
    18
  1325. Might be the reason, why so much native speakers can't tell "your" and "you're" apart.
    18
  1326. We hosted some German students and they found #7 to be shocking to them. Another thing they found surprising were our hybrids; they're everywhere in California but not in Germany. Of course, the size of the vehicles and freeways with a dozen lanes or so kinda blew their minds.
    18
  1327. Aww man, I needed the laugh today. Thanks, Feli!
    18
  1328. 16:22 I'm reminded of "Neun und Neunzig Luft Balloon" by Nena. The song was first released in the U.S. as an English translation called "99 Red Balloons" and, the flow of the words just seemed off. Somebody got the idea to play the original German version of the song and the flow was much more catchy despite the majority of us not understanding was was being sung. As I recall, the original German version charted higher in the U.S. than the English dub did.
    18
  1329. German beer > American beer by 1,000%
    18
  1330. I am very proud to say I have been purposely accidentally pronouncing "Adidas" correctly for decades!
    18
  1331. I've been watching you videos for a while, and I just want to say how much I admire your attitude that neither country is better or worse than the other. They're just different. Oh, and BTW, my 11yo daughter started learning German off Duo Lingo, and I've been trying to help her. I'm so excited!
    18
  1332. Worth staying up late for! :-) Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for the video!
    18
  1333. I definately agree with you on some of these, including AC, customer service, and convenience (including drive thrus). I moved to America 26 years ago on August 13. I still miss living in Germany, but have grown accustomed to life in the desert (Las Vegas, NV).
    18
  1334. What a great video covering this topic Feli. Thank you for giving the subject the respect and acknowledgement that it deserves. Probably one of my favorite videos of yours yet. As some other commenters have already mentioned, my hope is that in the US we treat our country's historical tragedies with the same amount of coverage and respect so these things never happen again.
    18
  1335. Das is ja mal n spannendes Format! Vielleicht könntest das auch umgekehrt mit deutschen Touristen in den USA machen - obgleich das dort nicht so einfach ist wie hier, dass alle zusammen in einem bus hocken.
    18
  1336. It’s fantastic seeing you out and about doing something different, more please 😀
    18
  1337. the last word was CONAN - his name ;)
    18
  1338. I love fondue and raclette, my mom discovered those dishes when she lived in Switzerland in her teens and she brought them back home to Norway and our whole family loves them! And Christmas markets are starting to become a thing here in Norway too, we have one here in my hometown Bergen that started two years ago and has really caught on with the public. It's so nice and cozy :)
    18
  1339. Thanks Feli! I am American who just recently became a German citizen, and so will vote soon in the upcoming election. This is very helpful for me.

  1340. I honestly thought it would be the same for everyone and I would have guests that English is what you think and dream in after living in the US for so long. I still think and dream mainly in German! Even after living in the US for almost two years. However, when I'm with my American friends for a long time, the voice in my head actually switches to English🙂 YES! I actually do have a voice in my head 😁. Saying it out loud and realizing for the first time that is not the case for everyone makes me wonder...🤣
    18
  1341. I remember reading somewhere that Oktoberfest in Munich is the largest annual fair in the world. It looks like a super fun place! I don't even have a bucket list, but I am putting it on mine now! 😁
    18
  1342. I've actually heard about how the word "pepperoni" is different over in Europe. I forgot who told me about that one, but I remember learning that someone got peppers on their pizza in Italy when they ordered a "pepperoni" pizza. As for the other ones, I haven't heard of those yet. The company I currently work for is headquartered in Stuttgart, so I should probably be careful if I happen to give them a present. I probably shouldn't use the word "gift" just to be safe, lol! I really like the skits you did for a lot of the words in this one! The "gift" one is my favorite one, lol! Awesome video!

  1343. In Scotland, when your face flushes red with embarrassment it is often referred to as "a beamer"
    18
  1344. „15:42“ - „Schulz“ - mitsamt großartiger Geste! Dein Freund kann perfektes deutsch und auch den wiener Dialekt - how to learn austrian german in 2 secounds? - well done! 😀
    18
  1345. Asking your doctor for a recipe will get you weird looks. As well as asking your friend who made some cake for the receipt. German Rezept = recipe, prescribtion. English receipt = Quittung
    18
  1346. @31:16 or, "I'm sorry, American isn't my first culture." I cannot guarantee that it won't sound super weird, cause it will. It will get the point across though.
    18
  1347. As long as i have been living, December was never the coldest month. About the last 40 years! The real winter comes at the end of January and stays the complete February.
    18
  1348. Well researched, as always. I had no idea about the German Chocolate Cake's history. I'm glad Black Forest Cake, at least, is German (and delicious)!
    17
  1349. CORRECTION: The taxes Part is wrong. The 42% at 52k€ is the peak tax value. For every euro you earn below that 52k you pay less taxes. So if you earn 52k€ the average tax rate is something like 24%.
    17
  1350. Side remark: The correct full name of the pastry is actually "Berliner Pfannkuchen", which means "pancake Berlin style", or "pancake from Berlin". Almost everywhere in Germany this is reduced to "Berliner". Only in Berlin itself, where qualifying something as being from Berlin or Berlin style doesn't add much information, it is shortened to "Pfannkuchen".
    17
  1351. Amazing video. I wish the United States had as many viable options for the election.
    17
  1352. That was totally fun. You two play off of each other very well.
    17
  1353. I had similar experiences - back and forth, back and forth between the US and Germany. I like Germany and German people very much, but they are VERY different between northern and southern Germany. I agree with Feli on almost everything. The only thing I absolutely cannot stand in Germany is the saumäßiges Wetter! Feli gets it!
    17
  1354. I'm a Spanish speaker and some of the brands that you mentioned I have to say that I pronounce them almost the same. BTW I didn't know that some brands were from Germany. Interesting to know that I don't mispronounce the brands
    17
  1355. Thanks! As usual, Feli, you hit it out of the park.
    17
  1356. Fun fact from Austria: We say "Pension" instead of "Rente".
    17
  1357. Servus! Austrian and 90ies kid here: Witzigerweise kenne ich die Trappfamilie von einem Anime :D Kann mich nicht mehr genau erinnern wann, aber wurde wahrscheinlich irgendwo zwischen "Biene Maja, Heidi und Einer fröhlichen Familie" gezeigt. Congratulations on an entertaining video
    17
  1358. Moin :) Frohes Neues!
    17
  1359. Mark Strong & Christopher Lee sind ja der Wahnsinn!! 😲
    17
  1360. Na also jetzt hab ich Bock auf die Wiesn!🙈 Schade dass es dieses Jahr abgesagt wurde. Dann eben nächstes Jahr 😜
    17
  1361. I love these little short videos! The normal ones are also great, but I hope you gather enough random topics to do another mini series of these again. :D I like snacking cookies, which are very thin and crispy, but if I'm in the mood for something like chocolate chip or oatmeal, it needs to be soft. Not like store bought cookies though... those vary a lot, but I find most kind of artificial or gummy.
    17
  1362. I was tutoring a kid in vocabulary the other day and her category was "German words". Should have seen the color drain out of her face when I told her. She wailed, "But I don't speak German", lol. Can't help it--Germany's just that awesome. Great video as always, Feli! Hope you and Ben are doing well. :-)
    17
  1363. aktuell / actual - I've been getting weekly emails starting with "This is the list of actual software bugs for this week" from a German person for years. This extends to people using "actualize" when they actually mean "update".
    17
  1364. Now let's get that 1mil, Feli! Channel has been growing so fast and I'm living for it.
    17
  1365. The ear worm was used in an episode of The Big Bang Theory. The character Sheldon couldn’t get a song out of his head for days and drove everyone mad trying to figure out what it was! Haha
    17
  1366. Feli! Thank you for covering this topic!! "WHAT? You're German and don't eat meat!?" I get a lot of that too!!
    17
  1367. Now you can make a German episode every now and then, which is then called "Es ist alles Griechisch für mich"! ;-)
    17
  1368. Thank you! / Danke. Marti Fisher's YouTube account is, by the way, a real gem if you are into music. So many of his videos are hilarious, he is a real genius. Look forward to see you dancing. LG aus München ;)
    17
  1369. This is one of the most interesting videos you have ever made on this channel! Well done, Feli!
    17
  1370. Well, Feli, as usual I could listen to you talk about anything, but this was very informative. I grew up Protestant, but half my family is Catholic, so I feel very torn about all this.
    17
  1371. I always find it interesting how the German language integrates multiple words into one word (e.g. Italienerwochenende).
    17
  1372. One of my favs: "Wenn du Wachsmasken magst, Max macht Wachsmasken" :D
    17
  1373. I went to Germany back in 2019. I loved it and always wanted to go back! I only got to spend one night in Munich, so this something I'm very interested in!
    17
  1374. Just a correction: not only in the eastern parts of Germany the first grades kids have their very own day. In Schleswig Holstein as well they have very own " Einschulungstag", in former times Friday or Saturday , and a "service" in the church was inclusive, at least in our rural villages. Church was skipped, it could be an offense to Muslims and atheists. I don' t remember my cone, about 62 years ago at easter time, that was until 1966 time for the first school day. Chocolate wasn' t so easily melting at easter, can happen in the summer.😊 But anyway, they are preaching to offer no or few sweets and instead putting more reasonable and sustainable stuff in the cone. Der Ernst des Lebens beginnt in und mit der Schultüte...
    17
  1375. I loved the daily readings. It was something to look forward to for me. Thank you and Merry Christmas, Feli!
    17
  1376. Funnily enough, we have a kettle, the super-fast kind; a Soda stream; a coffee drip cone (though I prefer to use a French press these days); and one of those long shoe horns which I found at Ikea for $1.50 a couple of years ago. A German visitor would feel right at home here!
    17
  1377. Love all the decorations in the background
    17
  1378. Would like to know your opinion on the translation of the song "99 Luftballons" by Nena.
    17
  1379. The original Leibniz factory is actually just down the street from where I live, so my daughter actually learned about how Bahlsen invented the "Keks" in elementary school.
    17
  1380. gscheid hasch des gmacht
    17
  1381. I honestly don't know why a sheet under a blanket would keep the blanket clean. My number one issue is dust. the blanket will get dusty if you don't wash it regularly and I guess I'm not the only one with a dust allergy. But the second issue: People always claim that only the top sheet touches the body. Is everyone really sleeping with their arms under the blanket at all times? Unless I'm absolutely freezing my butt off, I will always have my arms over the blanket, which puts the blanket right in my armpits.
    17
  1382. It is stupid, but I feel kind of honoured when I hear celebrities speak German 😂
    17
  1383. Thank YouTube for making you a highlight.
    17
  1384. I was about 20 year’s old when the wall fell. I’ve visited the GDR twice short before the fall. And because my mother’s family came from the Görlitz area and flet to the west in WW II, I had a great-aunt living there. I’m not an American, I live in Switzerland. That’s only to explain that I may have a different view. My great-Aunt could travel in my youth because she was retired then. I think somehow the GDR government would not count it as a loss if she would not return. She could visit us in Switzerland too. That’s because for the West German government she was german. She could change her GDR passport to an BRD passport for the time of her stay and therefore travel in Europe. Bevor she returned she gave her BRD passport back to the authorities and got her GDR passport back. For Görlitz it was luck in my opinion to have been in the GDR. I think for some other cities too. That’s because like that there were less renovations or demolitions of buildings to construct new ones. Also the «old» street plaster was left. Like that it has a beautiful old town now. What takes part in Paris in the film «Around the world in 80 days» with Jackie Chan was filmed in Görlitz. The backside is like Feli mentioned that the unemployment rate was super high when I last was there around 2004. What concerns the «ostalgie»: I think nobody misses the regime. But the products were not all bad. And somebody told me she is missing the social life. Everybody new there was a «spy» from the Stasi in each bigger building and sometimes they new even who it was. But life was not so anonymous like today or then in the west. There was more help among the neighbors than today. And you had not to worry about social security. That are the three facts that some people miss in my opinion.
    17
  1385. Your videos are fun to watch as an American. I was in Germany when the Berlin wall opened. I was stationed in Ansbach, but when the wall opened I was taking a class near the border. When the East Germans came streaming across the border, US Army bases set up field kitchens to help them out. I knew a cook and he said that they didn't know what peanut butter was. Obviously being Americans, they were making PB&J sandwiches. They had to bring in translators to explain what peanut butter was. Exciting times. Portion sizes in USA are insane.
    17
  1386. Neues Video mit Josh? Erst Daumen hoch - dann anschauen ;)
    17
  1387. I've heard American celebrities speak German in some interviews: Sandra Bullock, Kirsten Dunst, Chris Pratt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Natalie Portman, etc.. I've always wondered how fluent their German is. It'd interesting if you can do a video with your assessment. Even Putin speaks German.
    17
  1388. “You don’t have to like this video”? Girl, if I could give you give you three likes for this video, I would. Get better soon. Love from India 🌸
    17
  1389. You did an amazing job with this trying to share about German law around freedom of speech. Kudos to you.
    17
  1390. As a new subscriber, I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying your channel!!
    17
  1391. Oh you're so right! These words ARE missing in the english language ! You could also do a part 2 with words like "Kuddelmuddel" 😂😂😂 YouTube : 1 Aufruf, 4 Kommentare, 6 Likes ....lol 😅
    17
  1392. You can use fishies if your under 6
    16
  1393.  @johnclaybaugh9536 I never been shot, so there are no problems with weapons in the US!😂😂😂
    16
  1394. "Good Job Feli" Dem kann ich nur zustimmen.👍😄🤗
    16
  1395. Excellent job ! Years ago on a business visit to Frankfurt, it seemed to me that Frankfurt was Chicago with german subtitles. My business appointment was with Sears in Frankfurt, so it really was a bit of Chicago. How american is Frankfurt ? ps: My wife and I are making gluhwein and cheese fondue for friends this weekend.
    16
  1396. I was surprised when I moved to Germany and saw that they take their dogs everywhere. The bus the store the restaurant everywhere.
    16
  1397. Feli, this is a great video about the differences between German and American weddings. I'm a former wedding videographer with experiences in about 450 weddings in Bavaria and about 70 weddings in California. One thing I liked in German wedding was the "Kuchenbuffet" with some weddings 20-30 different cakes baked by relatives. Since I filmed almost every Saturday a wedding, I gained to much weight.
    16
  1398. Hab bis jetzt 3 Videos von dir gesehen und auch wenn ich nicht deine direkte zielgruppe bin als Deutscher, finde ich deine Videos echt informativ ! weiter so!
    16
  1399. There are „Arsch mit Ohren“ HARIBO gummies too, they are absolutely hilarious and tasty 😋
    16
  1400. Schröder even asked the "Vertrauensfrage" twice during his time as chancellor.
    16
  1401. As a Canadian I can tell you, yes, it’s a thing here. But essentially identify with the Americans in every single other topic in these “random differences” videos. Our cultures are very similar.
    16
  1402. I am from LA and weirdly when I was a vegetarian in college, I found out that a lot of people didn't get it and hated it and thought I would push my thoughts on it, so they bullied me instead. I do feel like America does push that not eating meat isn't healthy. I only went back to eating meat because the opinions weren't as great as they are now and I'm now eating less meat.
    16
  1403. re Walking, in fact that is what I enjoy when I visit Europe, the great transit systems and the walk-ability of the towns and cities there. I enjoy just strolling around and notice all the little things that you miss in a car.
    16
  1404. Sein deutsch ist einfach zu krass :D Mir wär hier auf der Straße wahrscheinlich erst nach einiger Zeit aufgefallen, dass er kein Muttersprschler ist. Hab ich glaube ich auch schon unter einem anderen Video kommentiert ^^ Freut mich, dass YouTube für Dich so gut läuft :) Mfg Marty
    16
  1405. I always find it easier to learn the language by listening to its music or watching tv shows. It’s especially helpful in the beginning, to take a tv show/ series, which you know in your own language already and change it to the new language. Then you know what they’re talking about and can focus more on the new words/language
    16
  1406. A fascinating video… Such a beautiful tradition… I had a German sweetheart from Dresden who showed me photographs of her first year in school… this video brought up a lot of memories. Thanks.
    16
  1407. I’ve waited from the very beginning for you to do recipes lol please keep them coming!!!
    16
  1408. Excellent, as always! I enjoy your light-hearted content, but journalistic Feli really is fantastic as well 🙂
    16
  1409. Such a beautiful city! I've never been to Germany, now I'm getting the urge to visit! (post pandemic) Thank you for your videos and congrats on 200k!
    16
  1410. I went to public schools in California, and we definitely learned about birth control, STDs, etc. in middle school and high school. I did not have an abstinence only education experience.
    16
  1411. It's a kind a like beeing a honest german, I think. I'm german too and it sounds quite normal in my ears, to say it, as it is. It's equal to my own expirience on german Autobahn... cars... balls... (sorry for my poor english)
    16
  1412. I live in northern California and have a cat that I let my cat out during the day. We bring our cat inside during the night because there are lots of coyotes and other predators. Never knew to keep there was a difference in keeping pets. Thanks for sharing.
    16
  1413. Good job, Feli. You took on a difficult task, presenting complex and sensitive issues understandably and objectively. Good to see people like you with courage to meet the challenges with integrity.
    16
  1414. I like this channel almost about his funny and humourous way representing such a big bunch of different topics and culture clashes. But when Feli does a video about some real serious topic, the increase in quality and information is incredible. A lot of respect to Felicia!
    16
  1415. You are super likeable, articulate, and the subjects you've chosen for your videos are interesting to people. Hope you get to 100K--and beyond--real fast. Good luck and stay safe.
    16
  1416. When it comes to engaged, it would also be worth mentioning that in British English it also means tgat the phone number you're calling is busy. Not sure if that's the same in the U.S.
    16
  1417. My mother's maiden name was Hoefer. My second great-grandfather was from Prussia, I enjoy learning the language. I'm impressed with his German.
    16
  1418. My grandma used “schatzi” all the time
    16
  1419. After living in Germany for more than 18 years and returning the US I miss Brötchen and ordinary Roggenmischbrot.
    16
  1420. Wonderful tour and historical rendition of our German heritage in Washington DC. As always Feli, you put a lot of time and effort into your podcasts. Keep up the great work and the best to you and yours.
    16
  1421. Great and very informative video. I was born in Washington, DC in 1950, and except for four years in college and two in the US Army have lived in Northern Virginia just across the Potomac River. I have been to the German-American Heritage Foundation, but did not know of the "bigger picture" of past history. On my father's side I am of German Heritage. He and my mother came from Louisville, Kentucky.
    16
  1422. Kudoes, to Felicia for setting the record straight about Germany it's a beautiful country and always in my heart. " you go! Girl.😇
    16
  1423. Volkswagen is funny for me. I lived in Germany for 3 years and loved every minute of it. I returned to the US, got out of the Air Force about 35 years ago and got into public safety. To this day, I pronounce Volkswagen in the German way and that confuses the hell out of other officers on the radio. :D
    16
  1424. I had a German "chef" a couple of years ago at an American company, so English was our common language. I already had that big red mark in my mind at sensitive/sensible myself, but I remember one conversation when I still used sensitive in a wrong way when both would have had proper meaning. He immediately knew and asked me if i meant "sensible", now I know why.
    16
  1425. I enjoyed this, Felicia. I'm surprised by the number of American actors who speak even a little German.
    16
  1426. birds also go "tweet, tweet" or "chirp, chirp"
    16
  1427. I'm moving to Germany in 6 weeks! Watching ye speak German is making me so excited to learn more German. 😁
    16
  1428. Languages are always easier to learn when you can fully immerse in it. I think as a punishment, for a whole month you don't speak English with him, make him only listen to German music, watch German movies/tv.
    16
  1429. You are so right about Wed-nes-day, as a native english speaker for over 30 years, EVERYONE spells it in their head when writing it.
    16
  1430. Good stuff Feli. You're so good at creating both light AND meaningful content. I fully appreciate both:)
    16
  1431. Loved this conversation. So interesting and now I’m gonna have to follow them too. Welcome back Feli!
    16
  1432. My relatives came from Germany many years ago. I have watched a couple of your videos and I fit much more into the German culture. I have lived my whole life in a part of America that is mostly of German and Norweign background and the people mostly fit in with the American culture.
    16
  1433. I agree the first time I tried gelato I was like "What magic is this?" 😍
    16
  1434. For me there isn't a difference here. My girlfriends and I talked about jawlines of guys already years back in Germany and just used the term "Kinnpartie" for it. It was a very prominent topic when the first season of Vampire diaries started for us because you know Ian Somerhalder has a very prominent jawline. 😅 But I also knew about the concept of only outdoor cats also as a person who grew up in a small village in Germany also so maybe it all depends on where in Germany you are from as well because there are a ton of cultural differences even inside of Germany.
    16
  1435. It is still quite popular in Canada. They show it on TV every Christmas Day. On Christmas Eve they often show "It's a wonderful life" or the original "Miracle on 34th Street".
    16
  1436. Congrats on 50,000! When things get back to normal I would love to see more travel vlogs from you as you explore America especially for parts of the country you have never been to before. Would also be interested to hear you talk about how entertainment is different in America compared to Germany (movies, tv shows, youtube, etc...)
    16
  1437. I like that your country gives you paid leave for you time off. In America it is lacking paid leave for sick, vacation, or parent having a baby. I enjoy watch you Channel. Learning about Germany. I also watch you tuber name Antonette that lives in Germany from New Zealand. Lives with Bilingual children who speaks English and German.
    16
  1438. Here in my part of Baden-Württemberg it's Herrgottsb'scheißerle (Maultaschen), Linsen mit Spätzle und Saitenwürstle and Gaisburger Marsch.
    15
  1439. Interesting. I'm a Brit with a basic knowledge of German. I can understand the first lady more easily than I can standard German, maybe because of the English language influence.
    15
  1440. I admire the fact that you tackle these topics!!
    15
  1441. Ohhh, how exciting! As an American with a German partner, I know the struggle of learning this language haha. Best of luck, Ben 😉 a punishment idea could be 24 hours of Feli speaking only auf Deutsch!
    15
  1442. I like this German guy right now so thank you for this info. I was in a relationship with a French guy a couple years ago too and definitely European men are better in every way. I notice they ask you questions about yourself and vice versa and make you feel comfortable. American men like to talk about themselves and that’s it and when you ask them a question, American men will go on and on and never shut up... sorry, not sorry
    15
  1443. Well done on a really good and informative video. Thank you for sharing ❤ I agree, no-one should be forced into doing anything against their will
    15
  1444. The limits to my German are: ja, nein, „Hier ist das Erste Deutsche Fernsehen mit der Tagesschau“.
    15
  1445. Yay, it dropped during a break in work! That's a really cool camping setup! And yeah Fruity Pebbles is ridiculous, lol. But I appreciate Ben's breakfast! He is correct-- it is indeed the breakfast of champions. Glad idiot parkers and hot and stormy weather didn't ruin your time and you had a blast! Great video! :-)
    15
  1446. I love these random differences, so interesting! Especially comparing them to (my) third perspective. In Israel, we also cross our fingers for luck but call it "holding our fingers" in Hebrew 🤔 And not sure if it still exists among young children, but when I was a kid it was also used when lying.
    15
  1447. Rent is the only thing I use checks for, though I remember having to pay most bills that way before online payments became widely available. You can also get money orders if you don’t have bank checks, but they are often limited to $500 or maybe $1000, so you may have to get multiple ones.
    15
  1448. I know exactly what Ben is talking about. I live in Louisville, KY where fentanyl is mostly a street drug. But in the small towns and rural areas doctors are prescribing it like candy. Our local media is constantly reporting on it. A personal story: not long ago I had extensive dental work. I asked the dentist about pain once the numbness wore off. All she said was "Tylenol". I was surprised but didn't argue. But it caused me to think that 10 or 20 years ago I probably would have been prescribed one of the painkillers mentioned in your video. That's how easy it is (or was) to become addicted. BTW, great job. You shoulda been a journalist!
    15
  1449. I'm from Nuremberg, living in Vienna... Sandra Bullock definitely sounds more Austrian than Franconian to me, too.
    15
  1450. Dont worry, they do !
    15
  1451. Feli: I would to see a video comparing German to Yiddish. I'm a second generation American. My grandparents immigrated to the US in the early to mid 1900's. My parents spoke Yiddish but sometimes is was because they didn't want us to know what they were saying. That was pretty much the same situation with the kids I grew up with as well as my cousins. So I do understand a few Yiddish words but No way can I speak it.
    15
  1452. I never knew that not being circumsized was an option until 2004 when I had a boyfriend that wasn't. At first I thought it was weird, but then I realized that it was the way to go, because they HAVE to keep it clean so there's no problems. My best friend's son wasn't and lived with his dad and the dad didn't show him how to clean it and it got stuck and he couldn't pee, so they had to have emergency surgery. So I think if education is more accurate and readily available, people wouldn't do this. Not to mention when babies have it done, there is not pain relief; when an adult has it done, they get some sort of pain relief in oral or cream form. I do NOT believe we should do this to our babies! If I had a son, I wouldn't. I was reading my health insurance for male babies, and it would cost $300 out of pocket to have him circumsized. I was like wait, I have to pay a doctor to mutilate my potential son's genitalia. Ridiculous! It's just money hungry healthcare. I feel the same about ear piercing. I have 3 daughters and never pierced their ears. As I was forced to have mine pierced when I was 2 or 3. I didn't have a choice and I didn't want that for my girls. Maybe do a video on ear piercing too. Thanks for the info. Ich liebe dich, Feli! Danke!
    15
  1453. Thanks so much @FelifromGermany for these amazing videos! 😀 You really have a true talent to share these and other topics in a way people like us that are foreigners can easily understand and that will definitely have our undivided attention to the final outcomes after the elections are completed. Thanks Feli!!
    15
  1454. Excellent video. Of course, numerous German families settled in the Midwest, back in the 1800s, owning farms throughout the heartland, which many of them still own today. Chicago, being the heart of Midwest commerce, had attracted those seeking employment away from the farms, just like all the other ethnic groups in the region. With farming consolidation over the last several decades, many German families sold their Midwest farms and retired to places like Florida, but the Midwest, obviously, still holds a great number of people with German heritage today.

  1455. Another cool video, thanks Feli. I do have to disagree with your friend from Duke though. The greatest college rivalry is Michigan/Ohio State. Not only is it huge in football but also basketball, hockey, baseball, etc. Don't forget that some high schools in Texas have bigger football stadiums than the University of Cincinnati does. Crazy!

  1456. Idk why I got this video recommended to me, but I'm glad it did.. this girl is absolutely gorgeous!!

  1457. Thank you for the wonderful adventure in Washington DC. I am a 63 year old man born in America to German Immigrants, I have always been proud of my German heritage but I must say that my pride has grown after watching you video. Thank you!

  1458. The podcast IS their baby!
    15
  1459. We have always done the pickle thing in my family. When I was younger (and still enjoyed Christmas lol) I loved it! There was always a special gift for the sibling who found it first. Never heard anyone claim that it was of German origin though.
    15
  1460. I was today years old when I first heard about spaghetti ice.
    15
  1461. BMW-- "Beamer" 🇺🇸 Excellent video 👍
    15
  1462. I love when their Oktoberfest stuff comes out. I pack the frozen stuff for lunches and get the strudel for dessert. I buy most of my everyday groceries there as well. Great video as always, Feli!
    15
  1463. I always found the closeness of wildlife within cities in America as startling. Here in New Zealand you are lucky enought o see the odd opossum in big parks and apart from birds that's about it. In the States you'll see deer everywhere, squarrels, racoons, snakes, even bobcats, coyotes and bears.

  1464. Der Süden ist doch verrückt mit seinen ganzen Feiertagen... :D
    15
  1465. Happy VD, Feli and Ben. In Brazil, Valentines Day (Dia dos Namorados, or Lover's Day) is June 12. I celebrate VD with my dog. I give him a extra biscuit.
    15
  1466. Sheets in the US are usually sold as a set, so marketing perpetuates the role of top sheet. I absolutely use and love a top sheet. It provides an option during the night to throw the comforter aside and cool down while remaining covered. So perhaps American modesty also plays a role. It’s easy to remove and wash a sheet set, and I love cuddling in the scent of a freshly bleached set of white sheets!
    15
  1467. Feli, excellently investigated und perfectly explained - a big thank you, great job! Mr. Vance might learn a bit from you.. Administrations come and go. Very much appreciating (and still believing) in the historic German-US friendship based on the common understanding of undeniable people's rights!! All the best from Lütjenburg/ Germany.
    15
  1468. Well done Feli! A very well balanced piece. I wish we would get more of this type of work from our journalists here in America. I have to say though, I not surprised by this “rock-n-roll lifestyle” behavior. If it is true, one would think since Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, and all the stories from Hollywood, that this type of behavior was over and done. I’m sure there is more to come on this. Thank you for providing us with great content. Keep up the good work you do here on YouTube! Yours, from a fellow Ohioan.

  1469. We had a blast on a trip to Germany recently. We rented a car and spent several days each in Munich, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Freiburg im Breisgau, Friedrichshafen on Bodensee, and Rosenheim. Then 3 days in Vienna, Austria. We went on a lot of walking trips in the towns, and hikes in the mountains. Beautiful country and so much to see! I think perhaps the funniest event for me is when I drove into a parking garage in one of the towns. There was a sign that translated means Parking on First level was reserved for women who are alone, I assume so they have a safer quicker exit from the garage and are closer to attendants. However, my German is very very rusty and I thought it was telling me that I shouldn't take the ramp up to that level so I passed that ramp. The only other ramp was the exit ramp, and the attendant, an older man, thought I was going to drive up that ramp, so he came out and shouted at me in German. He didn't speak English, so it took a minute to sort it out. Once we were on upper floors and parked, I was able to translate some of the signs better. I think that may have been in Freiburg. We did drive to Colmar in France for a day, and we were shocked at the change in countryside. In Germany, everything was neat, well cared for and maintained. Crossing the border into France, we started seeing overgrown lawns, tall weeds and grass growing through sidewalks, roads that needed repair, trash along the roads, and other things that were very different from Germany.

  1470. Feeling about driving fast Driving is the Germans' 2nd amendment :-). And yes, sometimes I do drive fast as well, I have a car that is fast and safe, but of course it all depends on weather conditions, amount of traffic. Driving on the right lane Yes we have the Rechtsfahrgebot. So one should drive as far to the right as it is possible. Going fast of course makes it difficult to go on the far right lanes. And yes, good driving discipline would be to observe the right driving law. And the far right line is not exclusively reserved for the trucks. This is a misconception causing many problems on the roads. The more people who don't observe it do block the middle lane which make it hard to free the left lanes... That annoys me always, and am commuting 65 miles one way to Munich (whenever we are not in lock-down due to the special times we are currently in). And often I'd like to free the left lane, and can't because someone is on the middle lane, but according to speed should be in the right or 2nd right lane. It's often people (sorry to say more young people, more women than men) maybe not having sufficient confidence swiching lanes? Laziness, whatever the reason. free reign on the speed limitless autobahn Feli, you know the area from Ingolstadt to Munich (about 60 mi driving from the north into Munich), by now we have almost the whole way speed limit bridges, regulating the speed limit dynamically. And during communtig hours, the speed limit usually is 120 km/h or 70mi/h. Even at the week-end So no speed limit has become a rumor on any major part of the Autobahn. fast cars Feli is right, the further left, the faster the cars. Even though 300 km/h cars are rare and far & inbetween. Most fast cars (Mercedes, BMW, Audi) limit their speed at 250 km/h. And some cars that can technically go faster require the driver to participate in a specialized driving school before the manufacturer opens up electronically to go faster than the 250. But generally speaking, yes there are man fast driving cars on the roads.: Opel/Vauxhall (used to belong to GM, now are owned by the French) not quite so fast middle class oriented Audi, Porsche as fast sports cars, Volkswagen itself, Skoda (based in Slovakia), SEAT (based in Spain) being mass production oriented (all part of the Volkswagen Group) BMW and Mercedes as luxury and sports cars manufacurers: Germany is a country with more car manufacturers than almost anywhere else, so these cars are better affordable here than in most other countries where people have to pay extra customs and possibly luxury tax to get them. So they are more part of everyday life and can be seen here a lot more often and easily. not observing the speed limit Concerning the going slightly faster than the allowed speed limit: There's a reason: In Germany we have system of sanctions giving out penalty points. A point (outside of towns) is not earned until you go 21 km/h faster than allowed. If one collects 8 points the driver's license is voided and one can't request one for at least 6 months (including psychological tests checking for the driver's mental fitness to conduct a car) Being caught in the range of 20 km/h too fast are currently up to 35 EUR... Within towns limits are stricter and more expensive. If one goes faster than 30 km/h than that person is not allowed to drive for 1 month, with the higher the infraction the longer the time not to use the car... There is talk of strictening the whole catalog of penalties, no-one knows yet when this will take effect. But where the threshold was at 20 will be at 15+, penalties will become more expensive and the loss of driving temporarily will be at an earlier infraction as well. So I hope this helps Feli explain the German auto "Gene" ;-) Feli, you are doing a great job explaining those cultural differences. I enjoy your videos and they remind me a bit of my exchange year at an American High School now a bit over 30 yrs ago.
    15
  1471. I’ve noticed the obsession mostly on social media or in the few “young adult” novels I’ve read when they are describing the hot guy. Also if you watch any make up tutorials where they use contour, chances are they will contour their jawline to make it look sharper. So it’s definitely a thing!
    15
  1472. Feli, thank you for tackling such a hard issue with grace & in a way that average Americans such as ourselves can easily try to understand it even though we will never fully comprehend the subject matter from a Germans perspective. We hope that you don't mind that we've recorded a reaction video to this video as part of our quest to understand German culture on our channel, so this is a token of our appreciation of you & your channel's catalogue. Keep up the good work, & if you ever pass by either Maryland or North Carolina, Biers on us! Prost! 🍻🍺
    15
  1473. I never thought of race in the manner you describe. The idea that collection of the data itself can lead to furthering the very problem ou think you are helping to solve. As an old person, to me this is just more evidence that we can all benefit from views and minds that have a different socialisation than do our own. Billion is a problematic term. Some books avoid its use because of its unclear meaning. "A Brief History of Time" comes to mind.. Not for nothing but you could defiantly contribute to Nebula (watchnebula.com). It is a different platform than is Youtube, less driven by views and algorithms, more driven by educational creators. You YT channel is very good and usually stays on lighter topics but I feel that you have a great understanding of two countries to share in a more serious arena. just my thoughts.

  1474. I grew up in Oregon. We had pretty comprehensive sex ed in junior high, about 6th grade. I now live in Idaho. My kids are teens and I just found out it's abstinence only here 😮 I had no idea. Good thing I talked to my kids at home
    15
  1475. This was fun and informative! The US and Canada were settled originally by Protestant idealists, particularly Puritans in the US, so Carnival was seen as Catholic and anti-Christian from their viewpoint. So the biggest carnivals in North America are mainly in areas settled by the Catholic French like New Orleans, Mobile, and Quebec. You should experience the carnival in Quebec too, so different than the rest of the North America!
    15
  1476. I can't even remember the last time I wrote a check😂no it's really not too common anymore. This was a great vid! Thank you!
    15
  1477. As I and my family are from Pennslvania, this is a topic that really hit home for me. The Pnnsylvania Dutch have historically had a connection with the Anabaptist-Mennonites or Amish as they are commonly called. From Lancaster Pennsylvania. Makes sense as one area both originate from is Switzerland. But, a few other Pennsylvania Dutch who are not necassarily "Amish" were from the Palatinate region of 'Germany". Very interesting video Feli. Thank You for it.😀
    15
  1478. Mir wurde dein Kanal vor einiger Zeit vorgeschlagen und du hast mich süchtig gemacht. Ich musste ALLE deiner Videos rückwirkend gucken. Die Art wie du es schaffst all die Themen so typisch deutsch perfekt auf den Punkt zu bringen (fast wissenschaftlich) und dabei so diplomatisch unschlagbar Sympathisch zu sein ist mehr als bemerkenswert. Auch wenn ich gerne täglichen content von dir verschlingen wollen würde, lass dir gerne Zeit um es weiterhin so perfekt zu machen. Du bist einer der wenigen lauten Stimmen die unsere Welt besser machen. Weiter so. 😊❤️
    15
  1479. Feli: well done! Very polished and professional. You’re such a talent. Thank you for connecting me with my German roots (even though those roots are small). Again thank you!
    15
  1480. When I lived in Germany in 1987, I was surprised to see TV programs uninterrupted by commercial breaks.
    15
  1481. Most important video of the year! I just got back from a mini-vacation where I frequented a bar run by a German immigrant, so between spending time there/speaking with the owner and watching this video, it's nice to know that my pronunciations weren't all that bad.
    15
  1482. First off she spent a lot of time working on this and getting figures correct, so Thank You for that. Second, as I tell my wife everywhere has good and bad you just have to figure out what you can put up with and what to avoid. Number 3, I am American grew up in Wisconsin and have lived in Utah, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Alaska (off and on for 30 years) and spent sometime in Kuwait, my wife grew up in China and is now American and right now we are living in Germany for about 10 months and we love it here. We travel and so far the weather has been great, winter snowed once and melted, it does rain but it is better then snow. German people very nice and Briggs list well I would like to hear about the bad in America, because like I said everywhere has good and bad.
    15
  1483. Das letzte mal, dass ich so früh war, waren die USA noch ne Kolonie. Als ich mein Regal diese Jahr aufgebaut habe ist mir genau das selbe passiert
    15
  1484. I told you sweetheart...it's all in your personality and your pretty smile and great content!! Congratulations!!!and before you know it, 100,000 subs will be tuning in and so will the checks!! It couldn't happen to a sweeter young lady!! You deserve it!! A lot more people to please now, so it's time to get to work lol!! Great job!!😃😄😃
    15
  1485. Your channel is great! We had a German exchange student live with us last year but he had to leave early because of Corona. I wish I had found your channel before he arrived would have been very helpful. I do enjoy still knowing the differences between the countries because we feel in love with our student and plan to visit him. Plus because my dad was military I was actually born in Germany. Thanks for all you info!!
    15
  1486. Thanks for a great video. Although this is from last year, i'm going to comment away 😎👍 advent is TOTALLY a thing here in the USA, although it is more of a Christian observance than a secular one. our family and our church light the advent wreath and say prayers every day of advent as we await the birth of Jesus. our candles are purple for weeks 1, 2 and 4 and pink for week 3.
    15
  1487. I throw an eye on it. Ich werfe ein Auge drauf.... ;)
    15
  1488. I’m also from Germany but living in the US and the comment about the onions cracked me up because I say that to my husband literally every time we go grocery shopping 😂 and don’t even get me started on the bread, especially how sweet most of them are (or how so many things in general are just soooo sweet…)
    15
  1489. Hi Feli! 👋 I just discovered your channel in the last week and am watching the videos. I enjoy them very much. I took German in high school and college and it's been fun to remember various words and phrases. Tschüß!
    14
  1490. Portland is reportedly one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the U.S.
    14
  1491. Hey, watching your videos I’m very interested in everything you compare. My family actually owns the local garbage company in Cincinnati. I’m sure you know by the brown garbage cans. But it’d be cool to see how your country handles the garbage compared to the u.s. I’d be happy to show you around the landfill and take you on a tour. Could be some good content for you in your videos
    14
  1492. Having you both switching back and forth is a great way to build comprehension of the German language.
    14
  1493. Food! Not there isn't good food to be had in the US, but I found the general quality of common food in Europe to be so much higher than here. A simple sandwich in France of a baguette, cheese and butter; or a slice of pizza in Italy! A world of difference. And I love the idea of weisswurst and beer at 10am in Germany!
    14
  1494. We can buy German style windows in the UK. We're planning an improvement next year and I'm considering outside shutters over the windows.
    14
  1495. The thing that jumped to my mind with the history question would be to go back to the early 30's or so, and take a fancy flight on a zeppelin. (Preferably not the Hindenburg though) Congrats on the 100k :)
    14
  1496. This was very interesting and enlightening do more
    14
  1497. I knew a lot of these, whether I used these for years, or I looked up their meaning later on. BTW, most Americans (myself included) became familiar of the word "Poltergeist" because of the 1982 horror movie of the same name.
    14
  1498. I've always slept with a top sheet. I would have a hard time sleeping without one because the texture of most blankets is uncomfortable next to my skin. I prefer a blanket over the sheet if it's not too warm because the weight of the blanket makes me feel more secure. I never have a problem with the sheet bunching because I lift the bedclothes with my arm as I turn, so they're out of the way. It's second nature; I can do it in my sleep. :)
    14
  1499. Ben really is a good sport, lol.
    14
  1500. Den Spruch "den Mund mit Seife auswaschen" kenne ich aus meiner Jugend auch. Nicht dass es gemacht wurde aber es wurde damit im Spaß gedroht wenn man ein "schmutziges" Wort gesagt hatte.
    14
  1501. Er sagt sogar ”switchen“ 😭
    14
  1502. Stracciatella fanboy here, it was invented in Bergamo, about 30 km from where I live. IMHO it's the best gelato ever!
    14
  1503. Hope this isn't creepy or cringe but I just have to say that you are possibly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and any guy or girl would be lucky to have you. Plus your accent is so cute lol Ok, sorry if that offended you I just couldn't not say it. Awesome video btw loved seeing the sights. Jealous, I've always wanted to go to Niagara Falls.
    14
  1504. Congratulations!! Recently new subcriber, from Chicago USA, currently working at O'Hare International Airport!!! Chicago Department Aviation Security!!!
    14
  1505. First, this video was an absolute delight to watch. I am not of German heritage, so national pride does not enter into it, but I found myself really appreciating the stories behind the brand names. "Mercedes" and many others -- so fascinating!! When something is very, very well done like this, it brings tears of joy to my eyes. Oh, I am sharing this with a friend who says "ALDIES" .. (and it really bugs me). Little did I know when I saw the logo on the profile that I would be drawn into something so beautifully done.
    14
  1506. This totally explains the lyrics "at 21 my parents bought their first house" in the "20s" song! :D I can see that, also in Germany, our parents' generation tended to buy homes earlier, but I know nobody whose parents bought a home at 21. My parents bought a home at about 32 and that was pretty standard, at least in our region, Baden-Württemberg. (How could you not mention that we have the motto "Schaffen, schaffen, Häusle bauen!" - "Work, work, build a house!") Because of this motto I never realized that it is actually not all that common for Germans to own a home. For me, it is totally ingrained into by brain that owning a house is a life goal. And I think it's the same for many of my friends. The problem for our generation (in our 30s now) is that we would love to own a house, but we can't afford it. House prices have gone up extremely during the last couple of years. If you haven't inherited huge sums of money, it's not possible to buy or build a house any more.
    14
  1507. Ich liebe es als Deutsche (auch Münchnerin haha) deine Videos zu schauen, ich lern so viel über deutsche Sachen wie zB der Keks 😂😅 Super Video geworden 😍
    14
  1508. The video was great, while I have been ro Oktoberfest when I was a child as my dad was stationed at Augsburg, I would love to go back as an adult and really enjoy it 🍺🍺🍺🍺😃😃😃
    14
  1509. I love Sophie Scholl: The Final Days it was such a well produced movie. The actress they casted to play Sophie was so spot on and such a good actress.
    14
  1510. Living in the States now since a couple of months, I can confirm that sports here is huuuge. Even bigger than I thought it would be. There is always some game on. 😄
    14
  1511. Growing up with the last name of Schreiber in the US, I felt that first one exceptionally!
    14
  1512. same I am polish girl living in usa, and noticed that too that they walk so slow on streets, some drive slow too, then also in stores at registers its always so slow, they like to talk and conversate hheheh. I live in Boston suburs, btw my sister was in past in Cincinati so I sended her link to vlog and asked if she recognise places.
    14
  1513. I wish we had a train system like have in Germany. We do have something on the coasts but nothing in the Midwest. It would be nice to have Nashville, Louisville, Indy, Cincy, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Cleveland ETC connected by rail.
    14
  1514. Absolutely love your channel!! Your videos are so inspiring, uplifting, and entertaining! Keep up the great work!
    14
  1515. 15:27 I think “drawers” is the first time I’ve heard you say a word that didn’t sound completely Americanized. This was another really interesting video.
    14
  1516. Ooh this will be good. May you and Ben have a good slide into 2024, Feli! Thanks for the great content all year long!
    14
  1517. This was fun and your English is excellent.
    14
  1518. An American told me a story when she was visiting Germany and she was looking at marlwladwnin the shop and she shouted to her German friends: "Oh schau, ohne Präservative." Maybe you want to include this one in the next installation . ;)
    14
  1519. I would love to hear you listen to Amish German and comment on it...I grew up in Pennsylvania and I'd hear them speak it all the time and I wonder how close it is to modern German. I always wondered if they kinda speak the equivalent of 1700s German since they have remained so isolated from other German speakers all these centuries.
    14
  1520. When things don't go according to plan is usually where the best/funniest moments tend to reside. This made my day :)
    14
  1521. It would be so interesting to hear how a non native German speaker would do a German accent! I love that idea for a video. This was so fun to watch btw! I would love to learn to speak German someday.
    14
  1522. My German is currently A2, and hardly. So I love hearing you both speak german and English so fluently together as I also totally aspire to be fluent in two lanuages one day! Josh should get his own You-tube channel too - He seems so lovely!
    14
  1523. I lived in four very different countries by the time I was ten (Indonesia, Holland, Germany, and finally the US). What I discovered each time we emigrated to a new country was that I found the food there nearly unpalatable at first, especially German food. Food preferences are formed early in life, and it takes a long time to change them. I suspect this is the reason so many Americans prefer the type of "hard" ice cream commonly sold here, and why Europeans prefer the "gelato" style ice cream.
    14
  1524. Definitely interested in the bathroom differences between Germany & the U.S.
    14
  1525. I was really impressed by the way, GermanGirl, you debunked the statements he made about crime in your country. You clearly had a much better grasp of that point than he did. I've visited Germany three times so far on different trips to Europe and my wife and I will return. No country is perfect. I didn't find the lack of air conditioning a problem probably because we travel during the autumn months. I have heard about taxes in Germany, but they are pretty irrelevant to a tourist. I did meet an older cab driver in Munich who told us he voted for the AfD party. However, his explanation was quite reasonable to me. He basically said that Germany was having to deal with hordes of immigrants who did not speak German and had no job skills. Finding places for them in the economy was hard. He went so far as to say if Germany was going to take immigrants that it would be much better to get Americans, Britons, and other Europeans because they would fit in much more easily. Being from Munich you probably understand my next comment. Bavaria is a very easy destination for Americans to visit because there are so many English speakers and your society/culture is fairly similar to that of America. All in all, Germany is a great country to visit.
    14
  1526. Not to forget "aktuell" (current) vs. "actually" (tatsächlich). :D -- thanks, this video made me laugh. :D
    14
  1527. Love the documentary style. Excellent work! Thanks for putting this together.
    14
  1528. Huh, good one. I was not aware of this difference. What comes to my mind is that oil type might be different in US comparing to DE. And it was stated severely times before by you and other cultural-difference fellows: US people drive everywhere, even small distances, which is actually not very healthy for engine (running on cold engine) and might be the cause of quicker engine wear. I like the series, keep it up! Schön Tag noch, Tomasz
    14
  1529. Ist echt verrückt. Ich könnte euch beiden ewig zuhören.
    14
  1530. Thank you, Feli. Wonderfully explained!
    14
  1531. Yeah Im 53 yo and I can remember a time when there were towns you could walk or bike through and get your stuff etc... but Walmart,shopping malls,strip malls and especially now The Internet killed the small town American Dream and public transportation and roads have always been in the toilet..
    14
  1532. I really appreciate free water at restaurants in the USA. A recent trip to Italy taught me it is not universal.
    14
  1533. Omg I can't believe this is 30mins long! Time has passed so quickly! It was veeery interesting. Please do more video together, the topics are fascinating and you two have great dynamics, so entertaining! Ich lerne jetzt Deutsch. Dank dir kann man viele interessante Dinge lernen (while having fun!) I'd like to hear about german dialects, geography and other cultural stuff like that! You could make a parallelism with the USA. I'd like to know about other regional differences (as you did with the word brötchen) or maybe some colloquial sayings that would immediately identify you as a german/foreigner! (e.g. I didn't know germans don't use genitive in colloquial conversations!) Weiter so! Keep up the good work Feli!
    14
  1534. That’s why you have a duvet cover. It’s essentially a sheet but completely covers the blanket instead of a top sheet that’s just a layer between
    14
  1535. Sincere Insight is never annoying. You're awesome, charming and you definitely deserve it all. Thank you, Cheers and stay safe.
    14
  1536. I wish that I could speak German as well as you speak English.
    14
  1537. Very interesting about what students are taught. In the end you come out with that it must never happen again. Very informative. Thanks.
    14
  1538. Congrats on picking up a sponsor!
    14
  1539. Always get excited to get a notification from your channel I love your videos!😊
    14
  1540. Feli, as a Texan, it would be nice to see you do a video on Texas German.
    14
  1541. I would love to see a german_girl_in_hawaii so please come visit! We are the 50th State of America and have the only royal palace in the US. I love your content.
    14
  1542. Congratulations, the amount of subscribers you currently have is impressive and speaks volumes about the quality of your channel.
    14
  1543. Ihr zwei seit so nette Menschen. ☺️ Nalfs Kanal kenne ich schon was länger und bin durch ihn auf deine Videos gekommen.. Ihr solltet euch Mal treffen 😁🤝
    14
  1544. "Die in hell" hahahaha!!! I took a couple of semesters of German in college back when dinosaurs (like me?) roamed the earth. I don't remember all of it, but as you say, the Germanic nature of our two languages allow me to "get" a fair amount of written and spoken German to this day. Cheers!
    14
  1545. Ich finde es super, dass du Leute, nicht nur in den USA sondern generell und besonders in diesen unsicheren Zeiten aufklärst. Du könntest ganz easy einfach Content über kulturelle Unterschiede machen wie bisher. Aber für Videos wie dieses hier habe ich grossen (sry bin Schweizerin) Respekt vor dir, Hut ab! ❤
    14
  1546. Schadenfreude is my absolute favorite German word that we use in English. It’s nice to have a word to describe a feeling I have almost daily.
    13
  1547. Your patchwork familie we call a blended family.
    13
  1548. I dont even speak german, I speak native bulgarian (born in Bulgaria) and spanish ( raised in Spain) and learnt english on the internet :D But i love your content. I feel reflexed on you and your buddy in the vid! Such an easy going and lovely speak about native languages that if you're easy going about learning new lenguages and love learning more and more, its amazing!

  1549. I install hand held shower heads in all my living spaces. I don't know why they aren't standard since they are so much better, and make cleaning the tub far easier!

  1550. 42 % Steuern ist der Grenzsteuersatz als jeder Euro über 52.000 € wird mit 42% versteuert.

  1551. Frohe Weihnachten, Feli. Thank you for this. I was sad that I didn't think to save each day, so I could go through them all in one sitting. Now you provided me with this treat. Danke sehr. 👍❤️😊

  1552. German Girl in America You have a wonderful channel. I was in Germany many years ago. You have a beautiful country. Yes our public transport systems are looked down upon. We Americans (outside of a few areas like N.Y.C.) could not get by without our cars.
    13
  1553. My greatest recommendation for learning any language: Combine it with activities. Words and phrases do stick much better in the brain when you can connect them to real life. Do cooking together in German to learn the kitchen utensils and foods and numbers. Do hiking together to learn directions and colours and plants and stuff. Go shopping together to learn clothes, numbers, colours, patterns and so on.

  1554. Bei Becks musste ich lachen. Hier im Ruhrgebiet bekommst du in einem Franziskaner eine Becksflasche auf den Tisch gestellt 😂 Ich höre dann immer eine Möwe in meinem inneren Ohr 😂

  1555. Smart, informative and fun. Works for me. I'm of German descent and I'm one of the 'clean look' people which has irritated more than one partner who had beds with many pillows and several blankets, etc so every night was task night carefully removing all the extraneous bedding before we could finally climb into bed. And talk about a mood killer. "Wait wait wait, we must store the pillows first." "OK, honey, you do that while I rearrange the medicine cabinet...." Thanks Feli, I always look forward to your posts.

  1556. Great video! In America we are told that changing the oil regularly is one of the top things an owner can do to extend the life of a car although it is not surprising if modern oil still has plenty of life left in it when we think we need to change it. I think driving shorter distances would increase the need to change the oil due to the increased number of times you need to accelerate. A modern car can cruise at a highway speed without much strain.
    13
  1557. This is such a hoot but ALL TRUE from my point of view as an American living in Deutschland for nearly a decade. (Checks especially are ridiculous 🤪🙄🤣)
    13
  1558. Lol, your accent is so good, hearing you misuse things like "eventually" is just rofllmao. Like if you had a thick German accent my brain would be trying to "denk mit" but in this case, I just take what you say to mean exactly what you say. You pulled it off well >)
    13
  1559. randomly coming across this video this morning, I really enjoyed the back stories you shared of each brand, also didn't know that Adidas and Puma are German
    13
  1560. I would agree. I worked as a chef in Germany for while after high school from the US. It was an eye opener for sure but a good experience. Would like the hear the rest and congratulations to your channel success!!
    13
  1561. No we are a Representative democracy look it up.

  1562. Hi Felicia ! About three weeks ago I discovered your YouTube channel ! Being born and raised in the Cincinnati area, and 59 of my 66 years living here, I just had to check out the German girl living in the USA/Cincinnati !..... after watching one video, I subscribed and did a little binge watching many of your previous videos. I found myself fascinated by your opinions and conception of America and of the Queen City, I am so glad that you like it here ! You also taught me a lot about the German people and culture, I would love to go there someday ! Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work, I’ll be watching 😎!..........

  1563. I’ve heard the term “ear worm” on a music analysis channel and now I occasionally use it.
    13
  1564. The only reason I live in Germany is because my husband is a beamter. He's the Studiendirektor for a Gymnasium. Whether he is a good teacher or not I can only judge by the fact that he's always working. Evenings, weekends, and today is the first day of Cmas vacation and he's in his office working. He works even during Summer break. It's like I married a doctor lol About the paperwork - last week I had to go to the doctor to get a Krankenschreiben doctor's note cuz my husband had Corona. As I arrived at the office and asked for the paperwork, I suddenly was struck with how absurd it is that I had to do this, knowing full well they have fax machines! And email, and scanners. Welcome to the new century where you don't even offer a fax to a customer and I need to drive my car to pick up a physical piece of paper? I asked and she said it's because we're privately insured. WTH. I knew you were going to mention CS. I love that you embrace good CS. I had two bad experiences just last week. I waited 20 minutes in line in the rain at the fish truck. Someone jumped in front of me (well, started a new line beside me) and before I could take my turn she ordered and they let her do it! Then I went to a shop to buy a new butane gas container to refill my lighters. I asked if they would recycle my empty and the lady just said NO. No "I'm sorry no" just no. And I don't think they belong in any trash container I own. Isn't there a law that states if a business sells something that must be recycled differently, they have to also accept the old/broken one? That lady is so mean, every time I come to her shop to buy our weekly magazine she looks at me like I'm ruining her day by being there. Oh, and she smokes cigarettes in the shop.
    13
  1565. You two are just adorable, I love the videos you do together.
    13
  1566. You seemed really happy in this video. It warms my heart :)
    13
  1567. So I game with a lot of Germans on EU Server, and when playing shooting games, some will say "Mist" when their shot goes "daneben". I have been fluent in German for like ten years and every time I still double take, like...he's saying Mist because he MISSED, lol.
    13
  1568. Dang, that 50K special wasn't long ago! Glad to see your channel doing so well, Feli!
    13
  1569. 4 uhr nachzs und ich schaue das video😅 jetzt hab ich bock auf ein geiles bierfrühstück. Kilo mett paar brötchen und ein leckeres weizen auf dem balkon in der sonne :)

  1570. It's illegal in Canada to ask about race, ethnicity, or political affiliation, at least in the context of a job interview.

  1571.  @FelifromGermany  Hi, Grüße aus Hamburg! Hold di stief, Deern! 🥲
    13
  1572. Looks delicious, I just made sauerbraten and potato dumplings, so now I’ll have to try this. Thanks
    13
  1573. It's cool that Been is doing this, and on camera warts and all! I'm not really fluent in any language other than my native English, although know enough to "get into trouble" in several because imho, immersion is key. For instance, my in-laws are Polish so when we visit Poland my conversational skill increases exponentially in a matter of weeks. Otoh, going back to when I was a teenager and an older brother was stationed in Germany several times and used his four years of high school German to improve his fluency, I had interest in German too. One method he frequently used with me was fun phrases and mnemonics that stick to this day, e.g. "morgen morgen nie heute, sagen alle faulen Leute"
    13
  1574. If I was making my own 12-minute tongue twister video, I would spend entire the 12 minutes attempting to say "Fichtendickicht". I propose an English version that changes three words to sound more like an English tongue twister: "In the thick fir thicket the slick finches pick twigs quickly."
    13
  1575. You go me animally on the cookie 😁
    13
  1576. back to the future: whoa doc thats heavy
    13
  1577. something surprising about Germany was just how cheap yet still high quality the food was. going out to the local bakery, street market, and aldi and being able to pick up enough food to last for a week at less than 50 dollars, while still tasting good, was crazy to me. even with current inflation, it's still under what most americans pay for food the selection was wider too, with produce I've never seen in a supermarket
    13
  1578. You forgot the British meaning of Boot! That would be what Americans call the trunk of the automobile!
    13
  1579. Thanks for all your videos. I am from Ohio myself, and in Stuttgart for the next few months. Because of your videos, I was able to avoid a lot of culture shock. I am surprised by how many people speak English here, and speak it well. The friend I am staying has been here 5 months already, and is a bit introverted. He has been taking German classes, and had not gone out much because of the fear of a language barrier. I can say hi to anyone and try to have a genuine smile on my face. In the first week I was here, he spoke to more German people than in the first 5 months. It is fun interacting with people, I do have to say it is mostly over a beer. It is awesome seeing peoples faces light up when he tries to speak German. This is an amazing country, I don't want to go back to America. Mostly because of how walkable it is here. I enjoy walking, but in the states, I need to drive to a place to walk for exercise. Here in Germany, it is part of life.
    13
  1580. I think all the languages they have the same kind of sentences, but the fun part when starts when you try them when you are really drunk! ;)
    13
  1581. This was my 2nd time. I brought my 21 yr old son and we had an absolute epic time. Can't wait till next year!
    13
  1582. This is such an important video. Thank you! I appreciate that in this climate, you are showing courage. It a huge contribution.
    13
  1583. You did a lot of research on this one! Good work!
    13
  1584. This is me with my sister, I want to walk half a mile downtown and she complains it’s too far
    13
  1585. Das war lustig mit Euch im Supermarkt/ It was funny to be in the Grocery Store with you !
    13
  1586. Thanks for the useful history lesson! Good research, clear explanation.
    13
  1587. That is disgusting! If the cat find itself in danger, it can not defend itself! I can't believe that USA does that! They should forbid it everywhere!
    13
  1588. Great video! Very informative. I would love to see you do something similar in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is a very German city.
    13
  1589. 3:15 am and now i want some cookies... and i wish they had some softer cookies in germany, too, because sometimes they have to be crispy but sometimes half backed are even better
    13
  1590. Yes, do the second video. This one was really interesting.
    13
  1591. "Bäumchen rüttel dich und schüttel dich, bringe Gold und Silber über mich!"
    13
  1592. Hi Feli - as a swiss from Zürich I really love to watch your clips - and of course especially this one. You did a great job!! Congratulation!! Just one note thouh: the Swiss German spoken by some TV moderators (like the one old clip with the weather lady) is often very bad Swiss German - because they simultaneously read from e prompter which presents in standart German - the language we usually write in. So they translate while reading - which often causes wrong sounding dialect. AND in the first clip you discussed, there is actually an elderly lady who speaks the Swiss German of Bern, not from Zürich. We Swiss like to listen to even sublte differences in dialect in order to try and guess where exactly - from which of the 25 cantons - somebody comes from
    13
  1593. Feli, this is one of your best videos. Maybe not one of, maybe it's your greatest video.
    13
  1594. I enjoyed this confident free-spirited video. Not planning anything is the best way to live in my opinion. Leaving the comfort zone always opens doors, builds confidence, and leads to some of the most amazing adventures in life. I've hired many exchange students and helped them get their H1B, Green Card, and some have become US citizens. All of them have amazing stories that brought them to the US.
    13
  1595. You pretty much nailed "Suomi", thank you! Du hast die Aussprache von "Suomi" ziemlich ausgezeichnet getroffen! Danke und Grüße aus Finnland (Suomi) 🇫🇮
    13
  1596. Gott seid ihr beide sympathisch, stelle es mir superlustig vor, einen Abend mit euch zu verbringen und zungenvrecher zu lernen
    13
  1597. Such a fun video to watch! You two look so happy together and you're so synched in to each other 🥰 I love that travel is so important to Ben and both of you want to experience different cultures. I've always loved Mark Twain's quote, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness."☺️
    13
  1598. Felicia, with your overwhelming smile and your positive attitude you are a great ambassador for our country! Even me ole "Fischkopp" don't have anything to grumble about... and that's as good a praise a Munichian will get from a northern plainsman. 😉 Keep up the good work and thank you!
    13
  1599. "We just suffer and use a combined strategy of fans..." Ah yes, sounds like Texas in the summer.
    13
  1600. lemonade is no false friend in english and german it is the same. rather in american and german, and english and american it is a false friend
    13
  1601. Even the commercials for Löwenbräu told us it was “Low-en-brow”! I guess they felt we couldn’t handle the truth!
    13
  1602. Here in Belgium we also like crunchy food. I feel the exact same way about this crispy topic, and to be honest I did exactly what you described during my American road trip: touching the bread in the supermarkets to get the most crispy one. One particular store I was very happy about the bread variety, was "Whole food market", where they even made me a fresh vegan and crispy oven baked sandwich. It felt just like home!
    13
  1603. Happy for you Feli! Ben's a lucky guy.
    13
  1604. This is what my middle school social studies teacher told me. He was very particular about it.
    13
  1605. Congrats Feli! I also won the green card lottery (NZ citizen) and became a US citizen in March 2022.
    13
  1606. The same Procedure as last year miss Sophie! Very funny!
    13
  1607. Bavarian tongue twister: "do dadiada da, do dadiada da a, und do dada da a dadian" (german: Dort verdorrt er dir, dort verdorrt er dir auch, und dort würde er dir auch verdorren) (english: Over there it withers, over there it also withers and over there it would also wither)
    12
  1608. Love your videos! This one actually came exactely at the right time to lift me up a bit, so thank you Feli !! 🥰 Schönes Wochenende dir !
    12
  1609. "Nach" auf Englisch is "After"......"After" auf Deutsch isn't at all!!! LOL!
    12
  1610. What do you mean? They are the furthest (relevant) right party in Germany.
    12
  1611. Feli, I just today subscribed to your channel, and I absolutely love your videos because they are fantastic, extremely informative and I'm learning things about Germany that I never knew before. You are a real sweetheart to do your videos and they make me want to visit Germany more and more with each video. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
    12
  1612. This is going in a list of important videos for reference. A bucket list item for me is going to Germany. Especially because I want to try and track down more of my genealogy.
    12
  1613. As always, another uplifting video. Always feel better about life after watching your videos. Thanks you again for your hard work.
    12
  1614. GGIA your grammar, word usage, and enunciation is far better than many Americans. Obviously you are well studied but it is more than that, you take personal pride in your comprehension of the language. Plus you seem genuinely enthusiastic to reside in Cincinnati for most of the year. Good for you! I'll keep watching 😀
    12
  1615. #7 - the safety of Munich blew my mind when I first visited. Even as an American the gun culture here gives me pause. But I thought it was really cool that kids felt safe enough in Munich to take the subway themselves. I was a bit jealous to be honest.
    12
  1616. Your friend got a nice look at the contrast of big city US life and small town and countryside landscape! So much to see just in the Northeast!
    12
  1617. Thank you for videos I really enjoy learning about other cultures . I live in Wisconsin Dells and we cut are own Christmas trees . Wisconsin has the best brats in the US 👍
    12
  1618. "Be nice to each other." That jerk trashes out an entire country and then makes that comment; he's about as incompetent as they come. The U.S. is so much worse in almost every category that living in Germany would be a major improvement. The way I understand it Germany is the most productive and successful country in Europe, and the major drawback would be the difficult language, except that they are better educated and many are at least bilingual. This young lady is a fantastic ambassador for her country, and I will take her word over that of Briggs any day. The two biggest reasons to actually move to Germany would be cute girls and beer, the staples of life. 😉
    12
  1619. Hot chocolate for breakfast: Don't you remember Kaba? My parents gave it to me, together with a Honigsemmel, each and every day in the morning when I went to basic school (classes 1 through 4) in Bavaria, and in winter, they added an extra portion of sugar. Back in the 1970s, they thought it was healthy, but until today, I can't drink Kakao anymore, and drink my coffee black. (That's to you, Starbucks, and that's also to you, Diabetes!) However, I made friends with bread and butter and honey. It's just too delicious.
    12
  1620. Wow, you're almost at the 200K subscriber mark- WAY TO GO!!!!
    12
  1621. In 3 days I'm flying to Germany to move there:D hope you hit 100k by that time so we can celebrate together a new chapter
    12
  1622. I really enjoyed this video Feli. I'm glad that your brother and his girlfriend had a good experience. I live in a part of California that attracts people from all over the world. I always do my best to welcome them and give them tips as to what to see in this area. Macht's gut!
    12
  1623. Your well-founded research absolutely confirms my experiences as well! There has been such an increase in the plant-based selection in German supermarkets and cafeterias, now vegan options are staples at your regular discounter (not only in larger cities) and even in my originally farmer-dependent family the younger generation is either vegetarian or has reduced their meat-consumption. When visiting family in the US however, especially on road trips, I can confirm that it is extremely difficult to find plant-based options and eat healthy. And yes, I have absolutely had the same experience with salads! It’s almost impossible to find a simple salad without a „protein“ topping😮! Wendy’s used to be my go-to fast-food option, but on my last trip I was disappointed by the selection as well.
    12
  1624. Yes part 2 of what's common in Germany and not rhe US. You're videos are always upbeat and fun!
    12
  1625. 99.2k ....you are getting closer and closer. A lot of Americans do not trust our Government and would rather have freedom over safety. You without makeup.....still beautiful. Your grin is KILLER !
    12
  1626. I'm not sure how popular the Grimm tales are here in America but i'm now going to go searching for them as i'm pretty into antique books.
    12
  1627. Nick is spot on with the left lane. It drives me NUTS when the minivan is doing the speed limit in the left-hand lane. And as a sad note No Oktoberfest this year :-(. I understand the reason just sad as I was planning a trip. I would like to see part 2 Feli.
    12
  1628. Wand vs wand always made me laugh.
    12
  1629. “Tell me why Americans prefer American ice cream to gelato.” We don’t. But sometimes that’s all we can get. I do love pistachio gelato. Yum!
    12
  1630. Loved all the answers you gave 😊 I remember driving on the highway in Germany and there would a lot of areas to slow down, so it's not like it's endlessly limitless and there were a lot of constructions going on too 😅 But it was fun, but driving in Oberstdorf was pretty stressful. Yeah it's true that we are more polite than honest, I try to be honest all the time, but as an American I catch myself making little white lies sometimes and then I turn around and think to myself "why the heck did I just do that?" 😅
    12
  1631. I'm planning my first trip to Europe and Germany is on my list of destinations. I stumbled on your videos so I'd like to thank you for the insight. I'm sure you've met many honest helpful Americans but lets be honest, your looks have a great deal to do why guys are quick to runs to your aide.
    12
  1632. Excellent job of summarizing the energy issue! Nice summary and it shows good understanding on your part. Keep up the great work.
    12
  1633. Well, every german Dialect in the 18th century would have been not easy to understand for everyone, that's exactly why high german was invented. 😅 If you hadn't rebelled against the habsburgs in the 30 years war, communication between our countrymen could be much easyer nowadays... 😂
    12
  1634. thank you for making a counterpart!!!
    12
  1635. The German word that I like that is now a part of the English language is zeitgeist. The diphthong clue was helpful.
    12
  1636. Germany is a melting pot as well and people here are proud of their heritage as well. Everybody will proudly tell you that their mom is Polish and their dad is half Japanese or stuff like that. But nobody here will say things like: "I'm 75% white and 25% Asian". That's the point Felicia was trying to make. We talk about the countries, not the supposed races.
    12
  1637. Thanks for explaining the Nazi connection. As well other negative aspects like the heroin. And it is good to hear that that at least some of those companies are acknowledging & accepting responsibility. Germans are known for quality and efficiency.
    12
  1638. This is how I will pronounce these brands from now on. It's going to be fun explaining this to people and seeing the looks on their faces.
    12
  1639. Party Source!! Used to go there all the time to get liquor and rent kegs for parties 🎉
    12
  1640. I recently showed some of your videos to my dad and he really enjoyed the content having been born in Hamburg. He passed away 3 days ago and I know these videos helped him remember all the positive influences and experiences of his heritage/Heimatland. Thank you for your positivity and passion describing the culture and various places. Your mannerisms and how you describe places look & sound a lot like him. It comforts me watching this and knowing how much joy this Karneval topic would have brought. I miss him so much right now.
    12
  1641. I absolutely loved this video, I was amazed with Donna Summers, I love Sandra Bullock!
    12
  1642. Yes to the beer class :)
    12
  1643. Wow, Feli, you've got a beautiful voice and I loved the part where you sing Christmas songs! But with Christmas decorations I think you forgot a thing which might be not so common in Bavaria but is where I live: Schwibbogen :-) Wishing you a happy Christmas season. Fröhliche Adventszeit und ein wunderschönes Weihnachtsfest. Liebe Grüße aus dem Erzgebirge 💕
    12
  1644. A very famous movie in the US is "A Christmas Story", which features a scene where the kid protagonist gets his mouth washed out with soap. Also, in parts of the South, we call all soda "Coke" in the same way you call tissue Kleenex or cotton swabs Q-tips. So you'd say, "I'd like a coke" and the waitress would say, "What kind?" And then you might say, "Coke coke" if you actually wanted Coke brand specifically. :D
    12
  1645. Thank you for breaking things down for us!
    12
  1646. Dieser wunderschöne Mistkerl. Gekommen wegen Feli, geblieben wegen Euch.
    12
  1647. Die Videos mit Feli UND Josh zusammen finde ich am besten!!! Ihr macht das echt gut!!! Those videos with Feli AND Josh are my favorites! You are great!!!
    12
  1648. Excellent, well-researched analysis of the situation. US citizens are not always aware of how lucky we are with our seemingly limitless availability and low price of energy. I really appreciate how Europeans seem to come together to use energy more efficiently. This problem has been building for some time and everyone in the world must work to decrease our demand on energy, as well as reduce carbon emissions.
    12
  1649. From what I remember my schools in New York were similar to what she was taught in Germany. 5 through 8th grade were very basic stuff, but High School was safe sex, and birth control and all that in deep detail. But from what I've seen States that teach abstinence only, are the states with the highest teen pregnancy amounts. You would think based on that, they would realize that doesn't work, and makes it worse.
    12
  1650. We all have different ways of pronouncing words . My rule is blend in with the natives as quickly as possible. On saying that . Thanks for educating me . Fantastic post .Well done.
    12
  1651. I Iive in Ukraine and I am very grateful for the sacrifice and efforts that many people are doing to support us including saving energy in order to stop funding the Russian government. Here we are also having to save energy and other resources, not only because of price but because of Russian attacks to the civilian infrastructure 😭 so thank you to all who are bearing economic and comfort difficulties and support Ukraine nonetheless ❤ 🇩🇪 🇺🇦
    12
  1652. The popular American song when I went in 2000 was Hey Baby I wanna know if You'll be my Girl!
    12
  1653. Wow...ich komme aus München und war schon oft auf der Wiesn aber Euer Video fand ich so schön, die Atmosphäre so toll eingefangen, dass ich gerade restlos begeistert bin und kaum das nächste Oktoberfest abwarten kann. Ihr seid wirklich unglaublich sympathisch.
    12
  1654. There is a video on Youtube of Kennedy giving the speech where you can also hear the German interpreter. He repeats "Ich bin ein Berliner" verbatim. This probably explains Kennedy joking, "I appreciate my interpreter translating my German."
    12
  1655. Trader Joe's is German! My mind is blown.
    12
  1656. HI feli i dont know if you will read or even see this but i want to say that after this month i will have one year learning Deutsch/German. You have become a great motivation amongst other factors for Learning it. Especially with the pandemic. I have a pretty great grasp at the beginner level such for small talk and to get around. Therefore i consider myself a trilingual person who speaks English Spanish and now Deu/Ger. I absolutely love the language i feel such accomplishments whenever im able to connect ideas from one language to another. I also hope to visit Germany one day in my young adult life and test out my language. Once again im practically one year learning german because of you! Your awsome and hope this channel lives on as long as possible. Much greatness 🇺🇸🇩🇪!
    12
  1657. Even as "Munich native" I enjoyed this video a lot. But with "Skandal im Sperrbezirk" you should have mentioned the phone number even every kid in Munich knows... 😎And there is at least one important song missing: Sierra Madre
    12
  1658. I enjoyed this video. I'm Dutch and our language has a lot of similarities and false friends with both German and English. In a couple of your examples the Dutch word has the same meaning as the German word. Like Sympathiek-Sympatisch, Champagne, Gymnasium and Eventueel-Eventuell. But the Dutch word Hel has the same meaning as the English Hell. A special case is Rente-Rente-Rent. In Dutch it means interest, in German pension and in English what you pay your landlord every month. So it's a three way false friend between Dutch, German and English.
    12
  1659. "Prost du Sack!" :-) Danke aus dem schönen Frankenland für das Interessante Video
    12
  1660. The windows and roll down blinds are a couple of my favorite things about German homes. One thing that you didn't mention are the beds. The beds I've slept in while in Germany tended to be like a mattress in a box. A double room in a hotel often had 2 twin size beds rather than 2 double or queen beds, and the German bed tends to have the duvet (which I use over here) rather than sheets and blankets.

  1661. Thank you I really enjoyed this video. It was nice to see someone else's perspective while the two of you speak your native tongue.
    12
  1662. You forgot to mention my favorite German word we use in American: Biergarten!
    12
  1663. As an Austrian my goal is definitely to reach your level of English regarding the almost complete lack of German accent. I grew up in Styria and only learned proper (high) German in elementary school. Thankfully I was able to fully get rid of my Styrian accent when speaking German, but it really shows in English and it's beyond frustrating. I know how the words should sound and pronounce them perfectly fine with my inner voice, but as soon as I open my mouth it seems to have a mind of its own and be like "From Styria, huh? Well, well, almost full Arnold Schwarzenegger it is then."
    12
  1664. Omg, so the wife and I have started watching the show Dark. 6 episodes in and WOW!!! What a awesome show. Thanks for recommendation.
    12
  1665. Kabelsalat is actually one of my favourite German words. I think I came to know it because of VlogDave. 🤔 And I can't say I use 'earworm', but I've heard it used... just not in a long time. Until now 😜
    12
  1666. 12:24 „pay to pee“ ... that shows the guy NEVER visited Germany... you do NOT to pay in most restrooms . If you go to a restaurant (or even McDonald) and you drink/eat there you do not pay. IF you want to use a clean PUBLIC restroom, you pay... one way or the other ... https://www.bussgeldkatalog.org/wildpinkeln/ wildpinkeln=wildpeeing in public and police get you.. cost 35-5000 euro, for special hard cases (handled in Court): Fine or up to 1 year imprisonment. Sooo ... maybe paying 50 Eurocent for restroom is NOT that expensive in comparison 😀
    12
  1667. What an ordeal, so sorry that you had to go through all that! Wishing you the best of luck and whatever the channel name is I will continue to watch and enjoy. All the best. 👍👏👏👏
    12
  1668. I'm an American living for two and a half years now in Prague. For me the biggest changes are grocery shopping for one or two days instead of for a weeks worth of meals and walking and using public transportation. I grew up in California and have driven for nearly forty years until I moved here and now I can't imagine using a car for my daily routine. I'd also ride a bike more but Prague isn't very suited to bikes because of the lack of bike lanes and all of the hills in the city. All in all, I find living here to be much more pleasant than living in the US.
    12
  1669. Wow, this is super interesting once again :) Please, if you can, a second part would be more than welcome :) Now I want to come to the US and do those things myself hehe Greetings from Germany to you in the US :)
    11
  1670. Yeah same, I'm also looking forward to the podcast!
    11
  1671. This was great. Donna Summer and Sandra Bullock blew me away with their German. I'm jealous. I lived in Germany for 2 years when I was in the army. I was always told my accent was very good when speaking German, but I never learned formally, so I was nowhere near fluent.
    11
  1672. Your English is perfect. My ears thank you for pronouncing 'your' as 'yore'. Most Americans pronounce it as 'yer', which sounds classless to me. Congratulations on your mastery of English.
    11
  1673. It's been a minute, glad to see your newest video.
    11
  1674. Hi from Colombia, I am certain these songs will help me with my german, I already had my Oktoberfest-ish event last week when in my university we made this little expo based on it giving info about it and it's brazilian version being the second biggest version of it. And a play about the history and all of that, hope you are having fun. Servus
    11
  1675. (I‘m from Hamburg) and I know Almdudler but mostly from vacation in Austria. But lately you were able to buy Almdudler in northern Lidls 😅
    11
  1676. Well done. You work so hard to produce top quality videos. It shows.
    11
  1677. They (AfD) decided it. Nobody else chose their positions for them.
    11
  1678. I'm American and have always counted on my fingers like a German. I never realized it until I was helping my mother's boss who sells Austrian ceramic table settings, Gmunder Keramic. I was counting inventory and she asked me how many of something there was. When she saw me counting on my fingers she mentioned I didn't count like an American. I find holding up just fingers from the middle of my hand uncomfortable too.
    11
  1679. I understand why you tubers do the shorter videos but I really like these long couples talk/different takes on videos. It makes for more smiles while doing chores 😉 I’m American and my husband is Mexican so I enjoy the cultural diversity. I really want to start a channel myself but I can’t get out of my head about it and wonder if my age (51) would be a hinderance. Idk. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your camera equipment. Maybe one day 🤷🏻‍♀️✌🏻Peace and Love to you both
    11
  1680. Ben seems like a really nice guy, and is putting in some WORK right now... :-) Look forward to your guys' footage from the festival
    11
  1681. Great video! As Americans, I was obviously brought up with the top sheet + comforter. My wife introduced duvets into our home, but we still have the top sheet - go figure! I've always loved the practicality of German culture. When we travel to the EU and spend time with our German friends, we adapt easily including sleeping with windows open, and honestly love having our own duvets! I'm with you on the ridiculous rows upon rows of decorative pillows. I've at least gotten my wife to reduce our bed to have just one long decorative pillow instead of two rows of 2 or 3!
    11
  1682. I would love to see a whole video about German beer! I am a big fan of hefeweizen beer and I always had a difficult time pronouncing the Weihenstephaner brand. Everyone in the U.S. seems to pronounce it differently, so thank you for giving me all the correct pronunciations!
    11
  1683. Grüße aus dem schönen München. 👋
    11
  1684. As always: professional, enlightening, and well-prepared! So glad I watched and thanks to Feli and Ben I learned so much.
    11
  1685. I think we are still told that it’s cleaner and prevents infections. I chose it for my first son because I listened to what was told to me and didn’t do the research myself. Then with my second son I was really torn on whether we should get him circumcised or not. We ended up doing it for him as well, and my reason probably seems dumb but I didn’t want him to be different from his dad and brother. I think though that my decisions would have been completely different if circumcision wasn’t so normalized in USA. I do regret my decisions but in the back of my head I still believe that it’s more hygienic because that’s what we have been told all along
    11
  1686. In the city state of Berlin, instead of Reformation Day (October 31), the non-religious International Women's Day (March 8) was introduced as a public holiday two years ago. Shame it fell on a weekend this year (2020) because in Germany any such public holiday that falls on a weekend will not be moved to the Monday of the following week as in various other countries.
    11
  1687. Will start using the term "disimprove" from now on!
    11
  1688. "Da kann man nicht meckern" is number 1 in every Germans' dictionary 😄😄 Kinda the highest compliment that you can get!
    11
  1689.  @feuerschlange6374  My loveley Mr. singing-club! These jokes become better and better every time! ;D
    11
  1690. Hallo ihr beiden. Jaaa, bitte eine Sendung über Redewendungen! :-)
    11
  1691. I’m very interested in this.
    11
  1692. Congratulations on the car!
    11
  1693. I just want to say that I thank your awesome very inspiring and it's wonderful what you do with your videos . I don't think you should ever 2nd guess yourself . because you are super professional and I'm more than sure your dedication and decisions to make or not make videos is more than up to par . Also if I might add it is hypnotizing and relaxing not to mention very informative these videos you compose . I absolutely enjoy them . please do continue . God speed and God bless .
    11
  1694. Schönes Video. Einen schönen Tag noch
    11
  1695. Feli, thank you for investigating and sharing. I so enjoy learning about my German heritage in America. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas.
    11
  1696. I grew up in Brooklyn and to this day will say Gesundheit to someone who's sneezed. Feli said that she hears younger people saying it more but I once said it to a young person who had sneezed in a class I was teaching and none of the young people in the room knew what I meant. I guess it depends on the region you're in.
    11
  1697. I think it is really awesome when the creators take the time to interact with their fans. It shows how much they care 😊
    11
  1698. Just say, "for pencil".
    11
  1699. Neat. On my trips there, I love being surrounded by centuries of history as soon as yo get out of the (Frankfurt) airport; the local bakeries everywhere (yes, some are chains) and pastry shops; the welcoming service in small shops in cities. We lived in Manhattan for 9 years in the '70s and 80s, which was hardly welcoming. Or clean.
    11
  1700. Suggestion for part 2: "Zipflklatscher", best described with a screencapture from the movie "the Shoe of Manitu" ...
    11
  1701. To be honest, for us germans it's not that big problem speaking such things out loud :) And we never really use abbreviations for expressions like " bs " etc. 😉
    11
  1702. Was für ein Qualifizierter Kommentar 🙄
    11
  1703. Have Ben and yourself watch a German Movie or Show such as "Pipi Longstocking' or ''Winnetou & Old Shatterhand'. He then has to try and explain what happened and how much he understood. I married a German girl and this greatly helped me learn Deutsch (and was fun too) 😀
    11
  1704. I'm a native German and I even don't hear any difference between Michael Fassbender's german and the other's 😄
    11
  1705. I really like your Videos, esp the ones when you are together. Was Josh's Bastian Schweinsteiger T Shirt on Purpose ? ;-) Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland .
    11
  1706. The shimmying was perfect, the Italian had me laughing out loud, and you should have got a Bavarian mustache and passed it off as upper crust English - it might not have rebelled at being glued on to a German upper lip (clearly not stiff enough!). 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nigs The Englishman in Croatia 😎
    11
  1707. Private Schools and Public Schools are completely different. I attended public schools all of my life in North Carolina and they didn't shy away from any topics (minus abortion). It was classified under the term "health class" and it began in the 6th grade. In the 9th grade we went more in-depth into these topics and they gave us condoms. We were also told we could receive free condoms at the local health clinic but I don't know anyone that didn't just go buy them in the store. The only subject that was shunned upon was abortion. Basically, the viewpoint (and this is the South) was/is we taught you that if you are to have sex and do not want to get pregnant use protection. If you need to have an abortion then you failed to follow the advice we gave. Don't take your actions out on the child and thus, own up to your mistakes. In summary, actions have consequences. Not saying this is correct just sharing my experiences of how the school system I went to dealt with this issue/topic.
    11
  1708. Congrats. You deserve it. You give a lot of people a break from the craziness going on right now.
    11
  1709. As a linguistics major this was very fascinating! 😌 Also, I didn’t know Trader Joe’s was a German store, no less an Aldi! 🤯
    11
  1710. Something about a German Girl talking about “beaters” in the US cracked me up! I lived 6 years in Munich, so I can attest to it all. Great video!
    11
  1711. I absolutely love the German language especially when you speak it
    11
  1712. We use the word kaput in Spanish as well. We spell it "caput". But I think it was more frecuent some years ago.
    11
  1713. 25% of my heritage is German, and I grew up with "Gesundheit" to the point where I still say it without thinking whenever anyone around me sneezes. Where I work, I'm the only person who does that.
    11
  1714. Hahaha! I remember when I was living in Germany and hearing "box" all the time and always thinking why are they always talking about boxes? 😅
    11
  1715. Love your videos Feli! So much support to you, you never fail to both entertain me and teach me and this community!
    11
  1716. Congratulations! You popped up on my YouTube feed a couple weeks ago and I’ve been watching ever since.
    11
  1717. I actually love the German accent when speak English. I spent 3 years in Germany and it brings back such great memories. I an starting to learn German again, I love the language.
    11
  1718. Ich liebe solche Videos! Mehr davon! 😁👍
    11
  1719. Very cute!😂
    11
  1720. After living in Italy for 4 years...I kinda have to agree with you...I love having a hand held shower and yes the front loaders save water and clean better...I resent not being able to walk about feeling safe either...just don't get me started on out weird draconian liquor laws. lol
    11
  1721. What a fun tradition. I like your mouse and your proud schoolgirl face. BTW, I pre-ordered my lebküchen from European Gourmet for Christmas already. I’m glad you featured a big box on a video last year (or the year before?); we enjoy their products and wouldn’t have known about them without your video. Thanks!
    11
  1722. My ancestors came from the Silesia area of Prussia in the 1850s to settle in the Schulenburg/Freyburg community in Texas. Thanks for the wonderful video, Feli!
    11
  1723. This is the first I've ever heard of Bernd das Brot, and I'm already interested in learning more. He reminds me of an amalgamation of Oscar the Grouch (from Sesame Street), Eeyore, and Marvin the Paranoid Android (from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Thanks for introducing me to this wonderfully snarky character.
    11
  1724. You know more about the English language than I do and I'm a native. LOL. I wasn't aware of the "light and dark L sounds".
    11
  1725. Coming from Feli‘s hometown, we were all trained in changing footwear several times in school. You would arrive in one pair of shoes, then change into „house shoes“ (slippers) when entering classrooms, then change again into „gym shoes“ for P.Ed. and… just in case it’s raining or wet, have a pair of rubber boots, in case the teachers want us to go outside to play in the mud. Yes, elementary school in Munich was fun.
    11
  1726. 12:50 Fun fact. The "Pfand" system was actually implemented to support the "Mehrwegflaschen" system which uses thicker, cleanable and then reusable glass or plastic bottles, which is even more environmentally friendly. But I feel nowadays the thin one use bottles with Pfand are even more popular then the Mehrweg-bottles than before the system was implemented. Guess we germans don't care that much to carry the heavier bottles around. Anyways, I rather drink tap-water and use a "Sodastream" to fulfill my sparking needs from time to time with some sugar free syrup for the taste. That's the even better option imo.
    11
  1727.  @FelifromGermany  I kinda wondered if Ben was with you. You are a great team.
    11
  1728. False cognates. I found them in Spanish. “Parientes” means “relatives” not parents.
    11
  1729. Never knew Adidas was German company. I was even more surprised with .Aldi.
    11
  1730. We also have a verb for "eating breakfast" in English: breakfast! Seriously, this is a perfectly fine sentence: "I breakfasted on bacon at the diner and will lunch with a client Downtown."
    11
  1731. One of the best things about this country is diversity. This melting pot is what contributes to most things you've just listed.
    11
  1732. I'm always impressed with non-native English speakers from other countries who have such a command of the language...barely even an accent! And yet, few Americans spend any effort learning another language...barely able to speak English correctly, many times. Kudos!I I personally tend to write more like Germans because, in my opinion, it leads to LESS confusion. A 7 with a line through it (I do ALL the time) is far less likely to be confused with a '1' or an 'l' (small 'L'). I do the same with my 'V' to avoid confusing with a 'U'...same with 'Z' (I put a line through it). I don't know if schools here are still teaching cursive (don't think so) but I did. But, like Germans, many Americans stop using it but you will still find some people who combine it (like Germans).
    11
  1733. Haha that intro
    11
  1734. I'm here from the NALF channel to follow the really interesting topics these two are discussing. One of these interesting topics is Nalf's documentary, Unicorn Town. It's available now for pre-order in the States.
    11
  1735. You did a good job with stating the facts with real numbers.
    11
  1736. JT and I just get each other: one of my first sentences I learned when I moved to Austria was "I'd like tap water please." Which I understand is the most American and annoying thing to the Austrians, but dang it bottle water is horrific for the environment and YOUR TAP WATER IS PERFECTLY CLEAN VIENNA! Ahem. Lol. (Other than that, I did try to assimilate more lol)
    11
  1737. Thanks Feli! That was super interesting and I wanted to hear your personal experience in the US and Germany as vegatieren. :)
    11
  1738. omg i absolutely love your “german character” and “American character”
    11
  1739. Coming from the Pfalz, the Pennsylvania "Dutch" have always fascinated me! Monji did a great job with his documentary. 👏
    11
  1740. 8:47 Who wouldn't know? 😄😄 our 17th federal state..."Malle ist nur einmal im Jahr"" 🍻🍺
    11
  1741. Good heavens, it seems like just yesterday when German Girl in America was a brand-new channel; indeed, that's not much of an exaggeration. Congratulations on the milestone! It's a testament to just how interesting, engaging, and enlightening your videos are, and I, for one, am very much looking forward to all the ideas you've mentioned. Thank you for helping us all learn.
    11
  1742. I grew up in the USA with both Disney and Grimm fairytales, i actually have one of the very first English editions of the Grimm fairytales.
    11
  1743. A funny false cognate in Spanish is "embarazado" which curiously looks like "embarrassed" but actually means "pregnant." The other weird one is "Tuna" which is not a fish but the fruit from a Paddle cactus. Tuna the fish is "Atun."
    11
  1744. Some places, like New York, do have deposits for cans and bottles.
    11
  1745. Learning to pronounce the umlaut is something I would want to see!
    10
  1746. Well explained, Feli. Sad (and indeed scary) that the level of civic education in the USA is so abysmal!
    10
  1747. Hab nie gedacht das ich mal so ein Video bei dir schauen würde, aber danke fürs Machen des Videos. Super wichtiges Thema
    10
  1748. The fact that 2 sets of brothers split up. Wow!!
    10
  1749. Barb and Bärbel getting together was the best part!
    10
  1750. Warum gibst du Ben nicht die Challenge, dass ihr einen ganzen Tag nur Deutsch redet.
    10
  1751. Hi, fände ein Video über Wörter oder Redewendungen und deren Übersetzungen cool. LG aus dem schönen München 🌳
    10
  1752. Love it Feli! Nice tour of my city. Hope you come back for a part 2!
    10
  1753. German Girl in America Hello, from another Ohioan born in Germany! 👋👋
    10
  1754. The Ranch dressing was funny. I went out to eat with a German friend who lives here and her mother who was visiting from Germany. They both ordered ranch dressing because they said same thing you did. I’m leaving for Cologne next Wednesday.
    10
  1755. Felix, dein Freund ist echt ein süßer Typ. Glückwunsch
    10
  1756. I’ve enjoyed everything that you’ve done on YouTube, but this is really spectacular! It was so much fun to watch, I learned a lot and the production was excellent, too.
    10
  1757. I love learning all these things I never really thought about
    10
  1758. English tongue twisters: "How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?" "She sees cheese" three times fast. Anyone can do it once. "Fred fed Ted bread, and Ted fed Fred bread" "Nine nice night nurses nursing nicely"
    10
  1759. My first thought was yeah Germans mostly have strong jawline so I can see why they don't think its unique hahaha!
    10
  1760. Schade, dass es dieses Jahr nicht stattgefunden hat :-( Das nächste Mal muß ich nach den 2% Aliens (hab mich weggeschmissen!) Ausschau halten ;-)
    10
  1761. A funny question in Bravo Magazin... I try to translate it correctly. Boy 14 years old asked Dr. Sommer: "I have sex with my girlfriend since two weeks now. She's pregnant now in the 3rd month. Are my sperms really that strong?" 😂😂😂 no joke unfortunately. These kids should wait until they knowledge is better and they growing up more... My daughter is 12 now. And she can ask me anything if she has questions. When she is ready to talk she know I listen to her... My mum talked about it to me and she is Catholic (all my family) and with no sex before marriage adduced. But better to be open then risk a teenager pregnancy. That has nothing to do with religion. It's human thing. And I am Catholic but also realistic. Gut gemacht Felicia. 👍👍❤️
    10
  1762. Thanks, Feli! That was interesting, and it's good to know German culture is being preserved here in the US!
    10
  1763. I was stationed in Germany from 1986 to 1989 with the US Air Force. I felt a great deal of pride when the wall came down. I'm also a German descendent, 47.5%. Our family emigrated to the US from Germany in the mid 1700's. Thanks Feli!
    10
  1764. Both this video, and all the comments, were very interesting! I am Penna Dutch on both sides of my family; and retain a very small amount of understanding of the language. (My grandparents all spoke "the dialect". It has moved on from my local area.) As Feli says, the PA Germans came in a large wave during the late 17th and early 18th century. There was another wave of "New Germans" in the 19th century; and my understanding is that local Penna Dutch did not accept the newcomers very warmly - at least at first. I am a student of the culture of the Penna Dutch, if not so much the language itself. While there are many architectural remnants in my area of southeast PA, the culture itself started to disappear in the 1960s and 1970s. Lancaster County is very much a mixed cultural area - Amish, Mennonite, "church Germans", and modern folks - all mixed together. But nothing is like it was 50 years ago, when things were still more native and organic. Wonderful job, Feli!
    10
  1765. They are called banners.
    10
  1766. What about that one? Easy Level: Three witches watch three Swiss Swatch watches. Which witch watches which Swiss Swatch watch? Medium Level: tomorrow. 😉👍
    10
  1767. Thanks to you and Ben for letting me live vicariously through the two of you. The last time I was at the Oktober Fest was 1980. Ich habe damals in Berlin gelebt. Jetzt lebe ich in Tucson,. Arizona und euer Reisebericht hat mich dazu animiert, im Nächstem Jahr, das Oktoberfest mit meiner Freundin zu besuchen. Sie ist Amerikanerin und war noch nie da!
    10
  1768. “I bEeN hErE sInCe 100 SuBsCrIbErS!”
    10
  1769. I remember hiking up a beautiful trail above Oberammergau to see the Ludwig Kreuz. It was funny to see a cigarette machine on a tree by the side of the trail. They're everywhere over there.
    10
  1770. Chocolate soup with Semmelknödel (A certain type of steam cooked bun) was definetly a thing in my childhood (Area around Berlin)
    10
  1771. YAY!!! Dreaming of going to Oktoberfest one day!!! Thank you Feli for this! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
    10
  1772. I think that my main tip at the stage you’re in, which is when you start getting to know the basics and find out that there are many many rules haha is to be curious and ask WHY My first language is actually Portuguese, which in terms of grammar has the more verb conjugations and the same issues with entonation as German does, so just ask why and know WHY it is said and done like that Because German has these hacks to find out new words and verb conjugations just by applying the rule you already know from another word, and that helped me a lot! Also: CHILDREN’S BOOKS, GAMES, CONTENT IN GENERAL! Works like a charm
    10
  1773. Danke. I especially like your comments about getting good bread and cheese. On those two topics, we Americans really fail and don't even know it. Love watching your videos.
    10
  1774. Even though I don’t know much German, these videos are quite interesting to me, thank you! Wouldn’t mind more like this in the future :D
    10
  1775. 'heavy' Emmet Brown back to the future flashback
    10
  1776. It is a tradition in Denmark too to watch dinner for one
    10
  1777. Super video Felicia! Well done! I'm a product of unsafe sex in 1965, so my mother had "the talk" with me short after my periode has started at the age of 11-12. Sex education as a part of the biology class was I think at the age of 13-14 and of course as an important source of information we had the magazine "Bravo". My parents gave me all the information they could and spoke very openly about sex, they trusted me to handle it safe when the time would come. I had my first boyfriend at the age of 16 and I also had sex at the age of 16 and my mother made an appointment at the gynecologist and I had "the talk" there as well and got protection there to have safe sex as well. I never felt rushed into something, it all happend naturally step by step, finished school, moved together at the age of 22, got married to the same man at the age of 29 (because there was no need getting married only to have sex!! that's so stupid!) and beeing happily together with the same man for 38 years now!
    10
  1778. Enjoyed the video very interesting to hear these traditions. As far as fish fries during Lent. Live just south of Pittsburgh. It is a very large deal here. Television stations will have listings of the churches fish fries during Lent. Also celebrate Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday usually at churches. Ash Wednesday is a big deal also Like listening to this as part of my ethinicity is German and where my traditions came from.
    10
  1779. Dinner for One is also a long time Danish New Year tradition.
    10
  1780.  @FelifromGermany  Stephen Graham just went through the same thing with his new coffee brand! In the end they decided rebranding was the best route, and the community ended up loving the new direction! He posted a video about it on his channel (look up his Bankroll Coffee and “rebranding”). 💵☕️ “Feli from Germany” is not only more fitting and personal, I’ll confess I couldn’t always remember your name, but now I will! 😊 Congratulations on your new path and happy birthday to your brand! 🎈🎉Alles gute! 💜💕

  1781. You haven't done this for the first time, conducting an interview, reporting, have you? This is an entertaining as well as an informative video. So well done. Thank you. And thanks to the unknown cameraperson (I noticed even multiple cameras in the Consulate General).
    10
  1782. Wow. This is like my family. Lol. My family came here, to La Grange, near that whole area. Fredricksburg, New Braunfels, etc... Had a farm and everything. My grandparents spoke fluent German and still had accents. 3rd Generation. They didn't teach my dad German, so I took two years of Deutsche so I could speak with my grandparents in German.
    10
  1783. A lot of people in the comments seem to not write checks anymore. My parents actually write checks all the time to pay for things over a hundred dollars, especially if it's for the services of someone self-employed (like someone teaching music lessons out of their house).
    10
  1784. I grew up in the Cincinnati area and we called local liquor stores "a pony keg" which also refers to a smaller size beer keg. They sold beer, "pop" and other snacks and could be a drive thru. A more recent term for "gym shoes" is trail runners which is a combination running shoe and hiking shoe for running on trails and used by hikers because they are lighter and dry quicker. Loved the video and your two guests.
    10
  1785. Felicia, how did you close your jawline intro? Was it Homer Simpson's "d'oh"? If so, please do a video on weird talking habits. Btw: Reading the comments I had to smile a bit. The US literature of the 40es to 60es is full of male heroes with "chiseled chins". I think this phenomenon is just being reinvented.
    10
  1786. Echt geil 🔥🔥🔥
    10
  1787. This was one of your best ideas to work together with another Youtuber in an opposite situation, German in the US vs. American in Germany. Very interesting and informative points of both cultures. Very good.
    10
  1788. The chrismaspickle is a thing in the North in Germany how i found out when an American asked me about it and i did some research because I was confused by this question :-) (I'm German, didn't know it either ... what a silly tradition)
    10
  1789. Haha this is funny timing. Just the other day I said to my husband, “i want ice cream but not the soft mushy stuff” (American living in Germany here). Normally I like German ice cream ok, but I was definitely craving the thick, creamy American ice cream on that day. If given the choice though, I’d choose the American kind almost every time. It’s a texture thing for me. I prefer it thicker and with chunks of cookies or cookie dough, etc in it. I think the fascination with spaghetti Eis is that it’s a sweet food made to look like a savory food. It like if you had an icecream sandwich that was made to look like a hamburger.
    10
  1790. There is no way you can cover everything in one trip. I have at least 50 places in Germany on my "want to visit"-list, probably more and there are plenty of "wow, nice place"-surprises too. I have ticked off a lot already though, including Berlin and Hamburg. And Lübeck, Ratzeburg, Lauenburg, Lüneburg, Celle, Braunschweig, Hornburg, Goslar, Wernigerode, Quedlinburg, Gotha, Thüringer Wald, Schmalkalden, Meiningen, Münnerstadt, Würzburg, Ochsenfurth, Rothenburg odT, Dinkelsbühl, Nördlingen, Harburg, Augsburg, Garmisch, Hameln, Einbeck, Monschau and many more. Still a lot of places to see! 🙂
    10
  1791. Thank you for making us all feel a little better and helping us smile a little more
    10
  1792. Ah, the video I didn't know I needed today! 🙂
    10
  1793. This video was great. Just like the one with your friend Veronica. It's nice to see you having fun. Also, I don't think I'm alone when I say that you don't need make-up. Save your money. LOL
    10
  1794. Hi, Felicia :-) I studied German in college over thirty years ago, and I still love the language, but I have different strengths when it comes to reading, writing, speaking, or following what others speak (auf Deutsch). While I’m proud that I was able to understand perhaps a quarter of your conversation without relying on the subtitles, it’s clear that I need to work on expanding my vocabulary if I want this to change. I’m thinking if I improve my reading skills, I’ll become more attuned to the grammar and cadence, which will carry over to those other areas as well. So maybe I ought to get out my German/English dictionary and go at it. I’m probably long overdue. :-)
    10
  1795. What a great story. You are easy to listen to: nice pace and very clear, and you pack a lot of content into your videos, especially this one.
    10
  1796. Dinner for one is shown on new year's eve in Estonia too.
    10
  1797. It's a crime to say something like that! Denying the Holocaust is against the law, because it's important to never forget history. If that's what you're trying to say, most germans would disagree! I myself spoke to victims of the shoa! I live next to a Concentration Camp Memorial.
    10
  1798. can't wait to try it!! Thank you Feli, you've inspired me to not only cook German food, but now to learn the language! Im practicing every day during my commute. Love your channel
    10
  1799. Been doing this the other way around and looking up the stars of Dark speaking English
    10
  1800. Omg! Trying something like this, my brain would be done deep fried! Thats really cool how your brain can switch back and forth between languages..Like I said, my brain would hate me
    10
  1801. I'm from Argentina and here about the 5% of men are circumcised. I had the chance to ask some doctors and nurses about this topic and they said it can prevent a lot of problems like urinary infections among the most common disease despite the fact that we live in the 21st centiry. Great videos Feli, keep it up please, I love them.
    10
  1802. The "since/for" thing is the most common one I hear and read when communicating with my German and Swiss colleagues. And I never heard of the light and dark L sound but it makes sense and is one of the biggest give-away's of a German speaker. The fish/fishes thing is done by native English speakers all the time so everyone gets a pass. In any case, I have nothing but the greatest respect for anyone who learns and speaks this crazy language. And nobody cares if you have an accent or don't speak or pronounce everything perfectly.
    10
  1803. One of my favorite things about living in St. Louis was that you CAN drink in public there! And the city has some amazing parks, so in the summer everyone just turns the parks into their back yards and hangs out there - it feels a lot like the vibe in Germany. :)
    10
  1804. In Austria we have no problem with Peperoni.....we call it Pfefferoni!
    10
  1805. I am with you on sauerkraut. I will buy it once in a while because I crave it. It is really just hard to find a good brand that tastes like what I grew up with. I had an uncle who always was making barrels of it in his basement. So fresh tangy crisp and crunchy. Can’t find anything that compares
    10
  1806. Happy 8th year anniversary congrats on 600,000 subs!
    10
  1807. From the reactions I see here, I think that a lot of Americans are confusing regular text messages/SMS with the Messages app in iOS, which is iMessage. Regular SMS is only 160 characters to a single phone number, without pictures, emoji, voice recordings, etc.
    10
  1808. Why is everything so heavy in Germany? Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull?
    10
  1809. Oh my god.... when people ask me what Trader Joe’s is like I say “oh it’s basically Aldi”. 😅😅 now I know why
    10
  1810. Thanks for keeping us updated. I was wondering how Germany, and well, Europe in general, has been doing.
    10
  1811. This series has been great! Keep up the awesome content Feli!
    10
  1812. I'm always learning something new 🙂
    10
  1813. Great Video! Very informative! I'm from The Northeast Part of The US and I never had the opportunity to take sex ed classes. So everything about sex I had to learn on my own through websites and health pan-flits from the doctors office, which took a long time for me to become knowledgeable in the same way as young people from Germany. I wish we had sex education mandatory across the country like in Germany, I think that would help get rid or have less of the stigma, ignorance and mis information, teen pregnancies and STI's. However, not everyone here would agree especially a lot of religious people.
    10
  1814. In Germany, it's common for children's birthday parties to end with a goodie bag full of sweets or something you made together at the party. In my family, we jokingly call it a "Glad you were there and now you're leaving"-gift.
    10
  1815. My theory is that it is good to congratulate others on their success. This increases the amount of positive energy in the atmosphere. The more positive energy there is in the atmosphere, the higher the chances are that more positive positive energy will come back around to me and give me good luck.
    10
  1816. you must not do this/du mußt das nicht tun (deutsch)/ du darfst das nicht tun (englisch)
    10
  1817. Regarding the taps, my experience as an American expat living in Germany has been the reverse. The mixer tap had been the norm in the US (west coast in particular) and the two handles is way more common here (especially in Altbau buildings in Berlin)
    10
  1818. My sister and I had trouble with Rs as kids, and still occasionally as adults. We decided at some point that "rural" is the worst word ever!
    10
  1819. Great job explaining this crazy situation in Germany. It sounds like the entire world is choosing insanity in our politics.
    10
  1820. Hallo Feli ! Ich verfolge Deinen Kanal schon ziemlich lange. Und Deine "Themen" rund um die deutsch-amerikanischen Gegensätze bzw. Gemeinsamkeiten waren schon immer toll. Aber mit diesem Film hast Du noch mal einen "draufgelegt" ! Sehr gut gemachter Film. Danke. Und auch für den Support unserer Luftwaffe. Ist heutzutage leider nicht so selbstverständlich. Also: "Mach´weiter so" !!!👍👍
    10
  1821. About that that "hot chocolate soup": I don't know where the "soup" comes from because in German she says only "heiße Schokolade". And, yeah, I did drink hot chocolate (without whipped cream though) for breakfast pretty much every day until I was an adult.
    10
  1822. One of your best, Feli! Really a joy to watch.
    10
  1823. I love Jungle Jims! We always used zwieback when our children were teething and their gums hurt. They would like to chew on it to ease their discomfort.
    10
  1824. "Understanding train station" is so hilarious, good luck with your podcast!
    10
  1825. Speaking to American tour guides in Munich, sending by fax is still a thing in Germany and it's true that bureaucracy still favors the Post instead of emailing.Two things I would like in America is those wonderful German windows and doors that open horizontally and vertically, and the Pfand machines that I absolutely loved. A lot more incentive to recycle when you get money back! Enjoyed Munich immensely.
    10
  1826. As a fellow German girl living in the USA, I can relate a lot to your first two points on adjusting. Even after a year living in New Jersey, the concept of safe areas and security concerns are strange to me haha. For me, adjusting to the different administrative aspects was difficult, like getting insurance, renting an apartment, the DMV... It seems often very inefficient to me lol. Also, dating is very different. But I still like it here a lot! Grüße aus New Jersey!!
    10
  1827. I took German for 4 years when I was in high school and I'm still learning stuff about Germany and the German language, keep up the great work!!!
    10
  1828. Ich kommentiere selten Videos: Aber ihr Zwei seid so süß! Alles Liebe für euch beide!
    10
  1829. Your American slang is spot on! Lol
    10
  1830. The new lens looks wonderful. It is great to see your channel and production grow. congratulations!
    10
  1831. In regards to uploading old content: what about editing them slightly to add a few additional color commentary as '2021 Feli'? Meaning it could be interesting to hear your reactions to your own past comments. It would also incentive us long time viewers (first time caller) a reason to re-watch to get those view counts up again. I understand its a bit of editing.. but just a thought.
    10
  1832. "World According to Briggs (sp?)" has very little credibility with me, even before your analysis of his Youtube post. I'm glad you took the time to analyze it. I agree with you.
    10
  1833. Nice video, Feli
    10
  1834. in before the disinformation bots discover this video. I'm not calling them "russian bots" because it feels like they aren't the only ones meddling this time. Also, thanks for covering this, and explaining this well. Grüße aus dem Spreewald 🧡
    10
  1835. Ich liebe einfach deine Videos. Alles ist immer so gut recherchiert und einfach erklärt in Englisch. Ausserdem bewundere ich echt deine akzentfreie Aussprache. Ich hoffe dass ich irgendwann so sprechen kann. Es wäre toll wenn du mal ein Interview mit meinem Lieblings Online-Englischlehrer (Speak English with this Guy) machen würdest. Das wäre großartig! Alles Gute für dich!
    10
  1836. Yes, do a part two, always very enjoyable.
    10
  1837. I adamantly concur with Nick, that Germans have a lot to be proud. For example the great musical works that came from there, and those magnificent castles built in the country. Not not least at all my Great-great-Grandfather, Peter Grim, came from there.
    10
  1838. Those boo hands 😂😂
    10
  1839. Thanks for answering this. I always wondered why the words for Germany were so different in English, French and German when other countries tend to have similar names. Thanks Feli!
    9
  1840. you're absolutely not, the first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was "oh, are they gonna make a podcast together?"
    9
  1841. Another outstanding episode. Your radio/TV background really comes through in the interviews and production. Well done, and Frohe Weihnachten!
    9
  1842. I'm from the UK and I studied this in secondary school. We even went on a year 11 history trip to Berlin in 2020 where we visited sites from the Nazi regime and from the Cold War. One of those sites was a museum where the White Rose was mentioned many times
    9
  1843. You have such a great smile! Glad you enjoyed the trip. Sounds pretty cool. Fun to see places through others eyes that have never been too. Luck for car lasting long!
    9
  1844. It's not your channel focus, but you present facts/data very well - I would say professional grade in my opinion. Interesting to the listener and not dull/monotone/etc. Well done!
    9
  1845. Wenn ihr per Wortspiele Witze macht, sind die mehr auf Englisch oder auf Deutsch? Wie z.B.: "Why were the Mid Ages so dark? - Because there are so many knights."
    9
  1846. It's great to see you two creating videos in front of the camera now! I've been married for a long time now, but when I was dating, I was more like a German...direct...and it "put off" lots of people. I was okay with that because if someone couldn't handle it, then I knew that person wasn't for me. In America, it seems like Gen Z is much more direct than Millennials.
    9
  1847. I found this video very interesting especially since both my first languages (English and French) have different names for Germany and other countries. The French name for Spain for example Espagne is similar to the Spanish name Espana.
    9
  1848. Damn, the editing skills were turned up to 11! You're so close to 100k! Any ideas to celebrate?
    9
  1849. Thank you for these well made videos. I especially appreciate your use of video from the elderly Holocaust survivors. They know what's coming if USA continues to follow the path it is following.
    9
  1850. And in the UK, it's either a small, personal pencil sharpener, or a rotary pencil sharpener clamped to a table. We're weird.
    9
  1851. Seriously, Feli- Thank you! While I have always been proud of my German heritage and knew some of the history (for example, I've known many family St. Nicholas Night and Christmas traditions came from Germany), it is only after coming across your videos a couple of years ago that I really got serious about it. Obviously I've been entertained by your postings, but these more serious cultural pieces have been very important. I've recently been tracing family history, which is difficult when it comes to where exactly someone was from, since places had similar names and of course "Germany" itself did not yet exist. I've found that my G-G-Grandfather came over to Milwaukee in 1861, but I've had trouble finding his father's birthplace (around 1832). This fall my Dad beat his second different cancer. Because of all the challenges various family members have fought through, I've had shirts made for everyone this Christmas saying "Eichstädt Unverwüstlich": an older spelling of our name, and the German word for 'resilient' or 'unbreakable' (I hope). And thanks to one of your earlier postings, I know exactly how to pronounce the "v" and "w" 🙂 Again, thank you for making me more German. Fröhliche Weihnachten!
    9
  1852. Kitsch is something that aspires to be high art or "classy" but is actually a cheap, crude, often mass-produced imitation.
    9
  1853. Keep up the great work, and for spreading awareness. There is a wave of vanity and hubris re-emerging all across the planet: folks like you are doing well to quell it. Keep up the good fight.
    9
  1854. Oh noo gute Besserung felicia. Schaue deine videos mega gerne, da ich auch vor habe in die usa zu ziehen. Ich hoffe es geht dir bald besser🙈😊🥰
    9
  1855. As with many others, this was a great video!! I have been watching your videos for nearly 3 years and love how really professional you have become. The quality is super, but the best part is that you have retained the enthusiasm and joie de vivre that you project with every video.
    9
  1856. Beginning to understand why my father loves Germany, he was raised there and now we're in the US. I want to thank you for giving me a link to the culture and what life in Germany is like. Dankeschön!
    9
  1857. Don't worry Josh, we know you're very good at german! That made me laugh because it is sooo relatable! I'm fluent in three languages and still when I have to translate something on the spot it is often a nightmare! Keep up the good work, Feli, your choice of topic are always very interesting! It would be nice to hear more about german food in the different regions (along with the different names they have) and maybe some of your and Josh's experiences with restaurants, friends that cooked for you, etc.
    9
  1858. I recently saw an interview with Chancellor Scholz on a DW video (his English is pretty good, BTW). Being a politician he didn't get into specifics but he did say there are "hardships" for the EU due to its sanctions against Russia, but they must be endured to stand against aggression. I wasn't sure what he meant until I saw your video. Now I understand, at least somewhat. Thanks Feli, well done!
    9
  1859. Wow. As a Canadian, we also have been told JFK got it wrong. Shocked to learn it's actually correct! Crazy.
    9
  1860. Loved Fasching Tuesday in Mainz while stationed in Wiesbaden with the US Air Force in the early 90's. Good times!
    9
  1861. Hey Feli! Thanks for sharing. Very interesting for sure. I’m hoping to see the new movie ,”Bonhoeffer “ which talks about his story during that period.
    9
  1862. Thank you for taking us out!!! 😁😄✨💫🎬
    9
  1863. This was incredible Feli. Great job👍
    9
  1864. Just downloaded the first episode on Spotify, I'm really looking forward to listening! I think the podcast is a great idea, I'm sure there'll be a lot of interesting topics to talk about. Sometimes I (as an Austrian) also learn new things about Germany in your videos (although I usually share the German/Bavarian habits or just things in general that you mention). Could be interesting though to make an episode about differences within the German speaking countries...
    9
  1865. You may not be emotional, but plenty of us are for you. IF I were Ben, I probably would have been bawling my eyes out. Or at least holding back the water works. Fortunately, I am home alone, so I don't have to hold them back. lol I am proud of you! And CONGRATULATIONS! You were brave the moment you made the choice to come here. You have been brave with everything you have done. Many people might not see it that way, but it is a tremendous commitment and journey that you have been through! WELCOME! And I hope your stay back in Germany in the near future with Ben does not keep you there for the rest of your lives. As I think I would miss out on your presence here.
    9
  1866. Sometimes people can ask pretty weird questions indeed. Somebody from the US was really surprised when I told him that I don't like cheese at all. Then he said, but you are from Holland, don't you only eat cheese and stroopwafels?
    9
  1867. I love this idea and concept. Cant wait for the app to be available for Android! Im currently in a long distance relationship with a German guy, and have been for 11 months now, and im only just now really trying to learn German because im supposed to fly to Germany as soon as possible to meet his family, probably near the end of the summer. So, in order to be able to sorta understand and conversate with his parents, brother, and grandma, Im trying to learn as much as I possibly can. I have 0 ideas for goals and challenges, honestly I need to come up with some for myself, but I hope all goes well. Good luck to you on your journey, Ben!!
    9
  1868. Feli, I am an American working in Stuttgart. I love your work! You are so smart and awesome! Keep up the great work! Thanks!
    9
  1869. Happy Oktoberfest, German Girl in America😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
    9
  1870. Die wort "hell" ist meine Favoriten ..when I was in Augsburg and see the beer,my reaction was loolzz it's from hell hahahaha
    9
  1871. Yes. The jawline topic has been around forever especially for men in America. I find that German women tend have a stronger jawline which is an attractive feature to me. Another thing to take into consideration is that Americans tend to be on the obese side which means added weight to ones face thus a less distinct jawline.
    9
  1872. Laberl is actually a diminutive from the word Laib (Loaf)like Brotlaib (Loaf of Bread). In Austria there is also a small bread called Wachauer Laberl.
    9
  1873. Great video as always, Feli! So many interesting facts which were completely new to me. Happy holidays to you, Ben and your families! Greetings from Germany
    9
  1874. This is great, thanks Felicia!
    9
  1875. Thank you Feli! I actually immediately thought you were wrong when I saw the title of the video, but I definitely learned something from you! I feel silly now that I didn’t realize/understand this before!
    9
  1876. Hahaha:) This was fun to watch and I can relate! I was born and raised in Turkey and now I'm married to a German living in Germany so the way I promounce Turkish names changes depending on the language I'm using whether it's Turkish, German or English :):):)
    9
  1877. It was fun to see Oktoberfest through Ben's eyes. It has been quite a while since I was a 10 year old in his shoes. Brought back great memories. I am looking forward to Ben's photography from the whole trip. His picture of the canal in Venice was breathtaking.
    9
  1878. What a great topic. Favorite video so far. Love this girl.
    9
  1879. Thank you for telling their story!! I loved this video!!
    9
  1880. My largest client used to be near Cincinnati so I've had all the varieties (Skyline, Empress, Gold Star, etc.) of the local chili... and I utterly LOVE it. (Three-way and Coney being my favorites.) Totally unique. Sorely bummed that I can't get it pretty much anywhere else. Anytime I fly through CVG I make it a point to get some chili at the airport! On the other hand, I CAN get Graeter's ice cream here in the stores in St Louis (although unfortunately only about five flavors), and it's easily the best ice cream I've ever tasted. My favorite is the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, although every other one I've tried has been killer as well. Never heard of Goetta.
    9
  1881. Wow great video! Thanks guys for bringing a taste of Oktoberfest to us people who have never experienced it. I always wonder how Feli feels when she gets on a plane to return to Cincinnati.
    9
  1882. Ich liebe diese Videos! Danke fuer noch ein gutes Video! :) I loved the part where you talked about dialects and i loved the part about accents. I am african american and i dont even understand the AAVE dialect, African American Vernacular English. It all has to do with the areas you grow up in, and the demographics of the area. I'm glad you are both doing so well in your respective second languages! Viel Glueck :)
    9
  1883. You two look very happy. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!
    9
  1884. Feli, you did it again.. After the energie crisis, after Rammstein, again a clair and well funded vision about a sensitive subject. Mostly you do the little differences, between US and EU or within the US. But occasionally it is mayor. And than your talents come tolight. Like now. And I just keep watching your vlogs.
    9
  1885. Yes! I'm British, my wife is American, I live in Texas, and I am continuously being corrected when I pronounce these brand names 'incorrectly'. Vindication! Thank you!
    9
  1886. You did a great job, love the editing, the music. It's very professionally done.
    9
  1887. When i see it, i think it's interesting how brazil is a 50/50 mix between america and german/europe in this issues
    9
  1888. I really like the German homes. If I'd freely build/choose my own, I would not need AC at all, because modern insulation and window blinds on the outside can replace that in a more energy-saving way. But for older flats that are directly under a roof, we're going to need AC, because the climate is only getting hotter.
    9
  1889. I am originally from Northern Germany. And I have never lived in Southern Germany but I have heard of Almdudler. Oh and I prefer the Dr. Oetker pudding over all the softer ones.
    9
  1890. Guten Morgen, Ein wirklich sehr schöner YouTube Channel, es macht mir wirklich Spaß dir zuzusehen und deinen Berichten lauschen. Sehr angenehm und immer auf eine sehr freundlich Art und Weise präsentiert, ganz wunderbar. Deutschland kann dankbar dafür sein das Du uns so gut aussehen lässt in Amerika, gerade was unsere Sprache angeht baust Du mit Sicherheit einige Vorurteile ab. Zurück in die Zukunft mag ich auch unheimlich gerne. Ein Teil meiner Familie ist damals auch aus Polen geflohen, ein sehr schönes Land, schau es dir bei Gelegenheit mal an. Vielen Dank an dich für die tolle Arbeit die du leistest, mach weiter so, du siehst ja was passiert. Liebe Grüße 🍀 nach Cincinnati
    9
  1891. You are doing a great job with these long words! I enjoyed this video. 😊❤
    9
  1892. Ein weiteres lustiges und lehrreiches Video! Grammatik beherrschen oder Vokabeln aufbauen? Was ist wichtiger, wenn man mit dem Deutschstudium beginnt ?
    9
  1893. "Shoutout to Mr Unterhuber"! Hoffe er hat immer noch gute Plätze an der Sonne und ihm gehts gut. ❤️
    9
  1894. I think the best way for me to learn German is to actually go to Germany which I may try to go in July and that will probably be my birthday/graduation gift.
    9
  1895. Diversity of products: Sometimes too much! I find one brand and version of toothpaste that I like. The next time I buy toothpaste the super market has two dozen brands and a hundred versions of toothpaste! I just pick one and hope for the best.
    9
  1896. This is exciting news :)
    9
  1897. In the UK, safe can also mean like 'sure', for example 'yeah, safe' means 'yeah, sure thing.' probably where the german variant came from
    9
  1898. These two have a wonderful friendship!

  1899. I went to Munich two years ago during the summer! I have to say everything in that city is the true Bavarian experience. Great video Felicia!

  1900. Hey your alive, welcome back!

  1901. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I really enjoy your smile, eyes, and your presentations.

  1902. Love your video! The first segment on how we write is exactly how we used to write here in the US over 25 years ago when I was in elementary school. Hell, we were forced to even write in cursive and still to this day I know how to write in cursive. Sadly today in America schools don’t teach cursive or proper history anymore. I would like to see more things like this because the more I watch this video, is the more America used to be once upon a time.

  1903. Dudester, my own degree is in anthropology and archaeology, but I've taught Social Studies here in Canada. The United States is a Constitutional Republic. Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy. Both elect legislatures, so they are also Representative Democracies. In neither country is the head of government or the head of state directly elected by the people to that position. In both countries, individual rights and freedoms are entrenched in the constitution. So, to repeat, both countries are Representative Democracies despite being, respectively, a Republic and a Monarchy.

  1904. Beautiful scenery and more beautiful girl ^ ^

  1905. Thanks for explaining this. You did a great job!

  1906. 43:58 the actor who plays Roland Freisler in that movie, André Hennicke, is really good. Really captures what a sadist he was.

  1907. A video about German breweries would be amazing!
    9
  1908. Hi from Denmark :) I will allways chose milka over kinder except when it´s schoko bon bons ;)
    9
  1909. I've been to Germany (Bavaria) 4 times and Austria twice. I would love to go back, especially with you & Ben. BUT, I have already committed to a trip to the Holy Land later this year. I wish you and your group a wonderful time.

  1910. I wish there was a way to give multiple thumbs up. I think being able to rank sections of a creator’s content a good idea because a creator could have a better idea of what was liked in an accurate manner. This creator’s approach is excellently done. Much appreciation for this content. I wish good health and all the best to you and yours!

  1911. May I say that u speak BEAUTIFUL German!♡
    9
  1912. Congrats Felicia! That’s awesome! I can’t even imagine my channel ever even getting 5,000... 50,0000 must be a crazy cool feeling!!! Stay awesome! 🍺🍻🍺
    9
  1913. Great research done to present this video. Nice job.
    9
  1914. What is called Dutch Apple Pie in the US is not Dutch in origin. It's from Pennsylvania "Dutch" country, so it probably originates from people of German ancestry.
    9
  1915. Tolles Video Feli! Ihr zwei hattet sichtlich Spaß beim Vorstellen der Tracht. Viel Spaß in München. Viele Grüße aus Baden-Württemberg 👋
    9
  1916. That sounds like a great idea--we should do that.
    9
  1917. I lived in a NYC suburb during my childhood. There was an amusement park called "Playland" (used in scenes for the movie "Big"). In one building they had several rides to test your skills of staying upright, including a teufelrad (with an american name which I have forgtten). That was in the 1940's, but I guess things like that have been scrapped by america's increasingly litigious society.
    9
  1918. Hey! Great List. I agree with most everything, too. Having lived in Argentina about 9 years, I love to walk - I've noted how we Americans don't walk much, and I think that's a huge shame. So, I walk everywhere. Often I'm the only person walking, but that only means I have the sidewalks to myself! I live in a small town (650 people, more or less) so walking at night, I can just walk on the road after 10:00 p.m.! There's NOBODY out, and only a couple cars or trucks go by. The other thing - taking time to eat & enjoy a meal. In Argentina restaurants don't even open until 8:00 p.m.! But, we would make our own meals at home, and we'd eat for about 2 hours with friends, and then we'd have a cup of coffee, a light dessert, perhaps - and we'd talk, play cards, etc. for at least another hour. Even after moving back to the U.S., I still cook at home. Eating out, my family relaxes at the restaurant. We often take an hour to eat - and yes, the restaurant workers, servers, don't like it, because they're not getting as many tips!! (This is a NEGATIVE part to tipping culture.) They treat you well, as long as you eat and get out so someone else can be served - and they get more tips. Thanks for the interesting videos!

  1919. I didn’t realise puma haribo and nivea were German so I’ve learned something today
    9
  1920. I am actively learning German. I'm still struggling with some of the pronunciations but I'm still learning. I love it, I wish I had started learning German years ago.
    9
  1921. My local Total Wine has all of these in stock!!! My favorite Ayinger Celebrator Dobblebock!!!

  1922. Use a top sheet, grew up doing it. Also that way in the US military. And use a slat bed with a foam mattress. Love having window open, esp in winter!
    9
  1923. He might become an icon in the United States also. This is a unique character.
    9
  1924. Cool tradition. Not sure why there isn't a ceremony in the U.S. for going back to school but could be because most of us aren't happy that summer vacation is ending and we have to go back to school 😆
    9
  1925. I have no clue why but I just enjoy listening to you 2 talk German and English seamlessly.
    9
  1926. This was one of the "funnest" videos of you guys. It was like we were just hanging out with you for a half hour. Very entertaining! Gotta laugh about going 130 km/h because not long ago there was a news story about Indiana State Troopers nabbing a guy on I465 around Indianapolis going 130... MPH! 😳
    9
  1927. Hahaha mit dem Statement zu Waffen (bin da derselben Meinung wie du) kann man sich in den USA schnell die Finger verbrennen 😂 Jetzt verstehe ich auch dein Statement auf Instagram, wo du angekündigt hast, dass du bereits auf die Kommentare vorbereitet bist 😂
    9
  1928. Aldi South vs Aldi North being what we know as Trader Joe's blew my mind
    9
  1929. Great video. You both gave us a great feel for your time at Oktoberfest.
    9
  1930. Hey, here also a german from Berlin, I discovered your channel last weekend and have to say that I like your joyful and humorous expression very much! I instantly get a smile on my lips 😅🙂. Further good to practice my bad english. The story with the "Weiße Rose" is very interesting, but also very cruel. I watched the movie and read a lot about it. I can find no words for their braveness! Johann Reichhart, the executioner of Sophie Scholl later stated "Ich habe noch nie jemanden so tapfer sterben sehen, wie Sophie Scholl" 😥
    9
  1931. Danke, die Geschichte war wunderschön. Frohe Weihnachten!
    9
  1932. Not only in Munich . 32168 is the number of Rosi 😂 Nearly everyone in Germany knows it . Spider Murphy Gang is good stuff 👍🍻

  1933. Great to see you’re back. Did your friend have fun in the USA. Oh how was your Christmas, did the Krampus bring you everything you wanted
    9
  1934. Thank you for the very interesting video. You're handling and pronunciation of English is excellent. Also your descriptions are very clear and distinct.
    9
  1935. I am an introvert. I enjoy time alone and when I do venture out in the world, I don't like chaos. This is why I love Germany. I visit a little town called Schluchtern once a year with a friend. She visits her Grandma while I spend a couple weeks being and extrovert (this is a joke). I can walk down the streets and get my coffee and pastries and no one is talking to me. I then drive down the autobahn with everyone driving the speed limit, using a turn signal and never have anyone tailgating. At dinner (which is 3+ hours with good friends) we are not asked 100 times "How does your food taste?". I think I like Germany for some of the reasons Americans don't like Germany, it is logical and no one has to discuss their feelings. Germans bury their problems with alcohol and then they die. While they are alive they just make everything work as efficiently as possible. Felicia, I love your videos and thank you for spending time with us.
    9
  1936. As a Polish American with deep American roots in Chicago, this video makes me want to go there to see if I can find a similar experience. Thanks for sharing this wonderful visit.
    9
  1937. I just admire the fact that Ben is trying to learn German. He already experienced that a lot of Germans will speak English if he doesn't understand enough German yet. I'm also intrigued that Ben likes history and is really interested in Europe. My prejudice would be that most Americans try to see Europe in three days. It was interesting to hear what he noticed in Germany or even liked. I'm a coffee drinker myself and I can relate to the comments about coffee. Looking forward to more videos.
    9
  1938. Parabéns fico feliz por sua conquista você merece 🇧🇷💯🙏
    9
  1939. I’m going to München for Oktoberfest this year! So excited!
    9
  1940. Oh, Feli! Your thoughts on gun control were so well said! I feel exactly the same way! I'm American and I don't understand America's gun culture!
    9
  1941. About the chocolate soup: I am from Munich but my mum is from Lower Saxony (don’t know if that’s actually a regional thing from the north) and I know chocolate soup. But we don’t eat it for breakfast and we eat it without whipped cream. The way we make it is like chocolate pudding but with the double amount of milk
    9
  1942. Great video, amazing research work, unfortunately quite rare on the web, this should be considered best practice work for many YouTubers and similar professionals IMO
    9
  1943. The German cake choices looks better. I’ve never been a fan of store bought cakes. I’m still not.
    9
  1944. I know he was Austrian but Falco. Also talking about him I heard he has a big following with bikers. What can you tell us about them?
    9
  1945. Learning your partners mother tongue is actually such a beautiful thing. In my german-italian relationship, I'm learning italian for over 1,5 years now with an online tutor. You can really tell that when you speak the mother tongue of your loved ones, you can see that it reaches them on a whole different level. I think it's great how invested Ben is!
    9
  1946. Muss dir doch auch einmal ein großes Lob da lassen👍 Ich spreche eigentlich ganz passabel Englisch und verstehe schon einiges. Aber durch deine Videos und deine klare und deutliche Aussprache und die verschiedenen Inhalte aus dem täglichen Leben ist es für mich nicht nur eine Auffrischung meiner Kenntnisse sondern ich lerne eine Menge an Vokabeln aus der Umgangssprache dazu ! Mach weiter so mit deinen Videos und Gruß aus Dortmund nach Ohio!🤗

  1947. Living in the US, I think I was introduced to having a center line in 2's and z's both in German class, and in algebra class, where that was done to prevent confusion between z's and 2's, and perhaps 7's and 1's. Some Americans totally reject wearing shoes in their homes, but I never head of that idea in the U.S. until a few years ago. I'm thinking this may reflect geographical differences.. you're more likely to be expected to take off your shoes in areas where there's lots of snow to stop you from having wet street grime soaking all over everything, but in warmer parts of the country, you may want to wear shoes to prevent accidentally stepping on exotic vermin with your bare feet. When i was growing up many years ago, taking shoes off was presented as an exotic custom of Japanese and possibly Korean people.
    9
  1948. You are definitely correct on a lot of these! I've lived in Michigan most of my life, and people are very friendly and helpful. I have friends who are in different circles which makes things really exciting. I'm not that spontaneous however as I usually like to plan things, but it can be fun every once in a while for me! I am happy that you have been loving life here in the United States. People are so friendly here, and customer service is fantastic especially when you go to some of the more local stores and restaurants. Awesome video, and I love the positivity you bring in the video!
    9
  1949. One thing that's weird is me seeing a Feli video within the first 6 minutes of posting. OK, then, let's watch it!
    9
  1950. The White Rose group needs to be better recognized by the German people I lived in Germany for 5 years and never heard of these people until I found a book on them in Amsterdam.
    9
  1951. This was incredibly fascinating! I mostly understood the Petr Pumpkin eater but yeah, that was a different version. An exploration of the Texas German speakers would be great. Thank you Feli!
    8
  1952. As a German I feel very well represented by you and I like how calmly and respectfully you corrected him and stated the facts :)
    8
  1953. As always, we can rely on your research. Honey cake is a German ginger bread sweetened with Honey. My mother always used it to thicken and sweetened the Sauerbraten sauce. You can sometimes buy the rocking horse shaped gingerbread at Christmas markets.
    8
  1954. If anyone wanted an example of what a fun and a healthy relationship between two young people looks like just watch the first part of this video.
    8
  1955. You two look so happy together! Yes to the VLOG please!
    8
  1956. This was excellent! I live just 3 hours from Chicago and will definitely check out the German heritage sites you discussed!
    8
  1957. Shouldn’t be “Why?”… it’s more like “Why not?”… life is too short… just go for it.

  1958. I'm in Louisville and visit Cincinnati on occasion. Now I absolutely have to go to this grocery store, next time I'm there. Wish we had it here.

  1959. Loved hearing you speak German, its very beautiful, just like you

  1960. Great video

  1961. You always do such a great job on these kind of videos.
    8
  1962. 9:12 It can also mean a stone tablet, which is probably where the meaning of an electronic tablet comes from.
    8
  1963. I’d love to have your old videos reposted. It will be interesting to see them again. And you can count on the thumbs up every time. 💙🙏🏻 I found it an odd coincidence that that other girl’s name is Karen. 😂
    8
  1964. One of my favorites is schmuck. In German it means jewelry. In English, a schmuck is a jerk.
    8
  1965. I lived in Frankfurt many years ago and the German windows are amazing! I enjoyed this video. Just a few points on American homes. Americans often used the garbage disposal to grind up most leftover food. The disposal can be used heavily if the house uses the city sewer system, but not if the home uses septic. . You did not mention the American dishwashers which are used heavily. In American bedrooms, closets are often amazingly large!
    8
  1966. I remember being confused about these words, when i started speaking english
    8
  1967. For part 2: "Miracle Whip". The spelling was even changed to "Miracel Whip" to encourage a German pronunciation
    8
  1968. I’m British and I’m pleased that we pronounce some of these the German way here. Definitely not all though!
    8
  1969. Switzerland exactly is a semi-direct democracy. People can vote about laws and can change decisions (this is the direct part). But the "Bundesrat" (Exekutive) is selected by the parlament (indirect part). But you are not false, usually it is called as direct democracy.

  1970. I’d LOVE to watch the video on German education! Sign me Up :)

  1971. I love your Train Station dialect episodes ! So more German dialect topics here are very welcome!

  1972. I've been waiting 5 years for you to do this!

  1973. Reuploads are a good idea, think of it as reaching out to a wider audience. Your content is is still interesting and fascinsting. Get back up and carry on.
    8
  1974. 16:15 Wow! May I have a little dressing to go with that word salad?🥗😂
    8
  1975. The fact that Aldi is two companies and trader joe's is owned by one has blown my little mind
    8
  1976. Thank You for doing this video, I was born in raised in an Amish community and my first language was Pennsylvania Dutch it’s amazing how much you understand and just FYI the word (epes) means (something) I didn’t learn English until I started school, I left the Amish community in 1996 but still remember most of the language, although some of the words I have to think about, and also the videos you were watching and commenting on had various different types dialects in them that I understood but wouldn’t be able to speak,,, but I am totally impressed that you understand most of what they were talking about.
    8
  1977. thanks for the imput Feli....I always enjoy your take on this ))

  1978. Oh man what timing! I was just planning my dinner. I already have most of this stuff. Looks like I know what I'm making tonight. Thank you!

  1979. My admiration for your dedication and commitment to keep up us update on the changes faced by our bothers and sisters in Germany. great Report! Love from Los Angeles CA

  1980. This is so interesting to watch, I just started German lessons, and the fluency you both have between the two languages is incredible! Thank you for the video! Danke schön :D

  1981. Congrats on 100K. Katie seems cool. Nice way to switch up the video. Stay safe. 👍 👍
    8
  1982. Yes for a part two. :) Although we know about most of the little differences, it’s entertaining to learn what YOU have experienced.
    8
  1983. Love your channel. This was so interesting. I am Hispanic and realized that in using my Spanish pronunciation, I was pronouncing some of these words very close to their original (i. e. Adidas, Audi). Good luck with your wrist.
    8
  1984. Griass ench. Teach him the classical Oachkatzlschwoaf. Greetings from Salzburg, Austria. 🤣👍
    8
  1985. That "subtle pessimism" of which you spoke didn't stay in Europe, but emigrated to America along with my German/German-Swiss ancestors. 😅 Every visit to my relatives in the V-E-R-Y Germanic part of Pennsylvania, would begin with a "gripe session" in which everyone's current problems were aired. "Oy, yoy, yoy..." was a frequent utterance.
    8
  1986. I love the look of the app! If I may suggest languages to add for the future, I'd like to see some lesser spoken languages like Gaelic (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc.) in the app too! I only know a few words of Irish Gaelic, but I love how it sounds and having native speakers of the language would be amazing, not to mention it could give the languages themselves a great leg up. Can't wait to dig into this app.
    8
  1987. Sorry ... All I can say is that Germany is definitely better off if this Briggs character never sets foot there ... pathetic. I DO want to Thank You for your rebuttals to his fox-news-like attempts at disparaging Germans though ! Concise and very informed ! You are also admirable for not attempting to white-wash the few adverse points that might indeed be viewed as underlining his stance of disparaging "our" country ....Kudos to you !! (Btw - I was born and raised in Germany, and it's always amazing to see how much has changed / been improved since I emigrated to the US, believing that it would a good idea).

  1988. A mustard donut?? You’re going to give me nightmares! Thanks for this video and teaching us about it

  1989. Listening to Felicia always puts me in a better mood. Never get tired of hearing from her. Hope everyone joins Patreon so she can get the support she needs to talk more often. Im sure its a lot of work.

  1990. This is fantastic! It's very well made and researched and the work put into it must have been extensive! Feli, you did a wonderful job on this!

  1991. die schadenfreude has a direct translation in chinese

  1992. I've really been enjoying learning about the German culture on your channel. Keep up the great content!

  1993. In pharma research, which is international, we wrote dates as "15 Mar 2020" to avoid misunderstanding.

  1994. Hey enjoy your content!! I have a Grimm's book that I would read to my daughter as bed time stories. Always hated Disney and those unrealistic versions. I love the Grimm's fairy tales far better.

  1995. Servus Feli, Grüße aus der alten Heimat (München, Sendling:-) als ich Anfang Oktober 2011 nach 26 Stunden Flug von München über Atlanta endlich in San Diego angekommen war, war ich fix und fertig, bin in meinen gemieteten Chevy Aveo eingestiegen und wollte zur Travellodge fahren. Bereits an der ersten ROTEN Ampel raus zum Freeway wurde ich angehupt, obwohl ja rot war. Ich blieb natütlich stehen, wurde dann links überholt und der Kerl bog bei rot links ab. Hätte ich mich ich mal lieber vorher über die US-Verkehrsregeln informiert. Ich hab da damals meinen Kumpel besucht, der in San Diego seinen Post-Doc in Meeresbiologie für 2 Jahre im SCRIPPS Institute gemacht hat. Egal, ich kam gut an und hab mich DANN am kommenden Tag informiert, wie man in den USA Auto fährt, ohne aufzufallen oder angehalten zu werden. Bin danach dann mit nem RV knapp 3000 Meilen durch Arizona, Nevada und California gefahren, alles war gut. Viele liebe Grüße, ich verfolge Deine Videos mit großem Intersse, bleib wie Du bist, ich komm sicher mal wieder rüber ;-)

  1996. This is so cool Felicia. Funny customs too, not unlike Halloween.
    8
  1997. In the Nederlands we are way more open of sex . We learn about all the aspect of sex . also we learn about the lgtb way more then germany and the Dutch parents are verry open about sex. Dutch teenagers can get easily protection like birthcontrol . At the age of 16 without consent of the parents and in some cases at the age of 14. We talk to our Friends about sex and also to our parents. I'am glad i had a good sex aducation. It helpts à lot in becomming à women .

  1998. Conservative ? I don't know about that... I don't feel like my values aline in any way with US conservatives. Not at all ...

  1999. My favorite part of travelling through Europe is gelato. Missing that this year.

  2002. You know I do have German ancestors but they all died before I was born. It's nice to connect with my roots! Thank you!
    8
  2003. Margot is awesome. Thanks for this whole video. Occasional viewer - didn't know you have gone so serious and informative about German politics. Elon's obvious double Nazi salutes are shocking to see every time. Not sure about historic Nazis but the chest thump is how American neo-Nazis do it.
    8
  2004. Awwww that was so cool. I’ve been sent the other video before cause I had previously learned some German. I admit I would get a little defensive cause I knew the truth but I tried to enjoy the satire for the comedy it was. I’m so glad you made a follow up I have now passed it on!!

  2005. Your Sweater looks warm & cozy Felicia! 🤗

  2006. i wish i had an air conditioning cat
    8
  2007. I work for a German company, so I speak to a lot of Germans pretty much every day. Two of the three most common mistakes were mentioned: uncountable nouns (informations) and misuse of "since." The other most common mistake I hear is the misuse of "until." "This should be completed until next Friday," for example, instead of "This should be completed by next Friday." I'm not annoyed by any of them because they are speaking a foreign language and doing a much better job than I would. And I've gotten used to it, so I know what they are trying to communicate, which is what really matters.

  2008. "Das ist echt nice!" 😂

  2009. Wow! He can pronounce an Ü! Before I bet, not one native US person can pronounce an Ü!

  2010. I always find it interesting how people from all over the world live, and how it compares to how I live. You can learn a lot.
    8
  2011. Thanks for mentioning Ground News. This is awesome 🤩
    8
  2012. Chapeau, Feli! A fantastic video! You explained the current political climate and situation so meticulously and correctly! I hope some of it will get through and be understood by the Trump voting portion of your American audience and their German counterparts this time... 😢 I've read sooo many disinformed and ignorant comments under your videos as of late...
    8
  2013. Last fall I visited Munich and was offered to try Spetzi (not sure of spelling). Supposedly a mix of Coke and Fanta? Didn't sound appealing until I tried it. Boy is it delicious !!

  2014. Also erstmal vorweg: Du siehst aus wie BibisBeautyPalace mit braunen Haaren 😃 Und nun zum Video: War meeeeega interessant. Josh ist super goldig und mega sympathisch! =) ich würde gerne viel viel mehr von ihm sehen/hören. Ich lasse sofort ein Abo da 😋

  2015. St Louis had similar large German neighborhood in north city called “Baden.” St Louisans pronounced it like bay-den. Multiple German language newspapers, schools, and churches. Like Cincinnati it all went away during WWI.
    8
  2016. Ah this is a wonderful video! I teach high school students German, and its hard for me to talk about the drinking culture in Germany because 1) I'm not German, so I can only hit the "surface level" bits of the drinking culture, and 2) because I am still "new" to drinking, legally speaking, so it's always been a bit uncomfortable for me to talk about this with my students! You bring such good information regarding the differences between the two cultures in a wonderfully appropriate way and it's just perfect! And just a fun note for you, there are some states that do bottle back services! If you look on bottles you will see (and bare with me here cause I only know like two off the top of my head) HI MI NY... These are the states that will buy bottles and cans back and you'll usually get around 5 cents per bottle or can. They do this in the grocery stores in Michigan when you first walk into the store!

  2017. Spending close to 3 year 95-98 at Vilseck Rose barracks I had a great time and many friendships. Would love to go back with the family. Love Germany.

  2020. I think the sizes of kitchens in Germany vary a lot with how old the building and the apartments are because I've noticed that a lot of kitchens in buildings from pre-war are a lot bigger and usually have a pantry whereas buildings from the 60s-80s usually have way smaller kitchens (but they're a lot less spacious in general). I've also mostly ever seen wooden, framed country-side style kitchens in Germany than the modern sleek ones, so learning that these are more common in Germany was pretty interesting lol
    8
  2021. It's crazy to me how very different people can be. I've taken percocets/oxycontin orally and they don't do a goddamn for me other than back me up; I freaking hate them. I don't get pain relief from them and I don't get any sort of 'high'. I had a similar experience to Feli with knee surgery right at the start of the pandemic. Except that in my case, the shitty feeling I had was 100% the anesthesia wearing off but like Feli, the percocet did nothing for the pain; fortunately, ibuprofen did. There are only two opioids that I would ever take again (orally) because they work for me: Tylenol 3 (Acetaminophen-Codeine) for aches and pains and Hydromet syrup (Hydrocodone liquid) which helps with severe coughing. Thankfully I take all these things as prescribed, don't abuse them, and I'm blessed that they don't seem to be habit forming for me at all.

  2024. Feli, you are AWESOME. My wife and I lived in Germany when we were children, and we LOVE what you do. Keep up the good work.

  2025. Rocky Racoon that’s kind of a given considering she’s German 🙄

  2026. Ran into the Gift one when I shipped something to Germany and the postman questioned if it was poison.

  2028. That was a very nice tour of Munich. It's a very beautiful city. 😃

  2029. #AskAGerman This might be a dry topic, but how does auto insurance work in Germany vs. US?
    8
  2030. Thanks for the fun video, Feli! Literally yesterday I was searching Google maps for an Aldi, and of course, none to be found in my state of Colorado. Just for fun, I also searched for Rewe and Lidl (with the same results, of course.) Fortunately, there are some nice Germany bakeries in the area that also sell some Germany goodies. The German side of my family lives in NRW, so I'm very used to shopping at Aldi in Germany (though they frequent the Lidl more often).

  2031. a lot of shootings in the US are caused by people who aren't mentally stable and I doubt they would be able to go through all the trouble of getting a gun in Germany n then carrying out the shooting whereas in the US they can get it easily.

  2032. Absolute Extraklasse. Ein hervorragend gemachtes Video. Hut ab.
    8
  2033. I love this! I’d love more of this topic
    8
  2034. Watching this episode of your journey, I did truly enjoy the radiantly happy smile upon your face beginning after your counselor interview in Frankfurt. As you so said, we do not know to where life will take us, as your roots begin to grow deeper I hope that they will do so in the US and that you will grow a strong beautiful life here. Congratulations and welcome from my heart... :-)

  2035. What happens a lot (and not just with circumcision) is that a physician says "This procedure is necessary" and the parents go along with it. They simply take the physician's word.

  2038. I've been really enjoying Dark, also it helps me with my German. I've noticed a lot of the differences you were mentioning particularly in the kitchens, windows, doors and architecture.

  2042. Being from NY, I didn’t really care who won the Super Bowl…. ….but now 😊, I’m rooting for the Bengals to support you guys. You’re both great together. 👉👍👌

  2043. You are a great addition to American diversity! Many Americans like myself genuinely appreciate having someone like you in our country! I hope you feel more at home here every day and congrats on 50k subscribers Feli!!!!
    8
  2044. No matter the language, with these tongue twisters I just sit here like: My name is potato! Egal in welcher Sprache, bei Zungenbrechern sitz ich immer nur da und denk: I bims 1 Kartoffel! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    8
  2045. And honestly, I think most of our off-the-shelf sweets are too sweet. When I eat brownies made with store bought mix (without modifying it myself), I can hardly taste the chocolate because it’s so sweet, and the chocolate flavor is what I’m after. When I eat dessert, I want rich flavors, not super sweet flavors. I do think that local bakeries generally do a good job making their desserts flavorful but not too sweet.
    8
  2046. An umlaut (?) video would be much appreciated. Thanks for the great video today!
    8
  2047. I can't wait until it is safe to go to restaurants and eat inside with groups of friends; all the German food words and images make me really miss one of the places my friends and I go to celebrate or when we just want a fancy meal.

  2048. I'm tired, I will hit me on the ear

  2050. Another great video! I’m always amazed at how fantastic your English is, for someone who learned it growing up I’m Germany. I mean, that dialect & slang is spot on perfect. Bravo!
    8
  2051. Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing, Feli and Timo. I'd love to try your recipe one of these days :)

  2052. Leckomio, der spricht besser deutsch als ich

  2054. Good job Feli.A complicated situation for sure and you made it informative for me. Thanks!
    8
  2055. Another great video from SuperFeli 🎉!
    8
  2056. Thanks GGIA! Umlauts are funny. I think they’re easy to overdo as an English speaker. Also the r’s. Might be worth a video though I learned from the names you mentioned. Cheers Tschuess!
    8
  2057. Catholic weddings are usually "I will" rather than "I do."
    8
  2058. Lots of similarities between habits in Germany and Greece. In Greece, it’s almost a sin to wear shoes inside the house. We all wear slippers or some form of indoor shoes, and the have extras for guests to use. Also we tend to answer the phone the same way “X residence, Y speaking” but I personally stopped doing this because I’m afraid of random calls and scams getting my name since I moved to the USA (I never got these unknown calls in Greece 🤷🏻‍♀️)
    8
  2059. incredible video. keep up good work feli. i hope more content like this comes in future
    8
  2060. That was a fantastic explanation of what is going on. Inflation has been a big problem. 1 Euro at one point was worth less than 1 US dollar during the month of October.
    8
  2061. Hey there, Love your videos especially during these dark times. Keep your positively going. It is a joy to watch.
    8
  2062. In Berlin the breadrolls are called Schrippen ( maybe it's oldfashioned, but my Mom still says it)
    8
  2063. This was by far the best class. You answered everything that I wanted to know. Thank you! I hope you do more of these in the future you're really good at it.
    8
  2064. For toast, any kind of bread can be toast, if it is toasted :) In the US we have a lot of different kinds of bread, though I guess it depends on how rural you are, and what state you're in, but I grew up in Oregon where we have a large variety. I really love toast/toasted bread personally, sourdough, and rye are some of my favorites. I like the soft fluffy bread toasted too, but yeah, any bread will be called toast, if it has been toasted. It's about how bread is made/what it is made of for whether it is bread, and if it is bread, when toasted, it is called toast.
    8
  2065. I know this will probably make me sound like a silly fool, but I really enjoy your videos, they make me happy, because you are such a wonderful person. Stay safe, stay awesome! Much love from Slovenia!
    8
  2066. This is a great video! Very informative about the German presence in DC. Love the cinematography!

  2069. Great video and your English is perfect.

  2070. In England, "mixer" often refers to a person who is a troublemaker or instigator, someone who likes to "mix things up" for his/her own entertainment.
    8
  2071. im laughing so hard, oh my word
    8
  2072. That plastic and paper plate thing honestly shocked me when I first heard of it. Whyyyy would you do that if you can put your normal plates in the dishwasher within 5 minutes 🤷🏼‍♀️ you would always have to waste money on paper plates instead of buying reusable ones that last for years
    8
  2073. If Ben ends up learning German fluently that’d be fucking sick.
    8
  2074. You're missing that national socialism ≠ socialism

  2075. Thank you for fun video! Love the wordplay 😁
    8
  2076. Fascinating educational history tour, Feli! I hope you can cover the German roots of Philadelphia. Years ago, research led me to learn that my Mexican mother had an 48'er Saxon ancestor, Ernst Karl Schaefer, who founded 2 German book publishing firms, first in Leipzig ,1844, and later in Philadelphia, 1848. The Horner library at the German Society of Pennsylvania in Philly preserves many German publishers' books and is a must see place. The younger brother, Moritz Schäfer, continued operations at the former publishing house which evolved into a water milling technical "verlag" which still bears his name to this day, almost 180 years ago. WWII destroyed the Leipzig book house, after which it moved west to Detmold, Lippe, North Rhine-Westphalia.
    8
  2077. This was great. I can totally relate being an american living in Japan regarding so many of the cross cultural miner pitfalls that litter the linguistic and cultural landscape.
    8
  2078. ​ @FelifromGermany  Not trying to play "gotcha" Felicia. Love your videos. My wife of 49 years was German and from Darmstadt, where I was stationed for 3 years in the military. Naturally, we traveled back often over the years and have been able to watch its develope and change over 60 years. The Darmstadt that I knew back then does not exist anymore.
    8
  2079. Among your best work! Felt like German American Rick Steves. 😊
    8
  2080. i'd like to see the German pronounciation for Stabilo and Staedtler next :)
    8
  2081. The walk in wall closet is called a Speisekammer, a small room next to the kitchen for storage. One by one meter or so in size. At least in the north of Germany some homes have that. Maybe more older homes and not new builds. Quite funny, I learned in school to use the double sink. But I never came across them in any houses.
    8
  2082. Your expression when saying "The End" got me. I grew up with the German versions. Unless my parents threw it away there must be a book of Grimm' s Märchen somewhere in the attic. I wonder if these stories would be approved for children today if they were not cultural heritage.
    8
  2083. Gut und vernünftig gekontert :-)
    8
  2084. Some great observations here. I've been noticing that weird schizophrenia about freedom. I've been asking some of my fellow Americans recently, "What are we free to do?" It seems like we're free to starve to death or go broke from medical or college debt but not to actually live the good life and freedom from fear. I feel like we Americans are raised to believe that anything that limits our personal convenience is an attack on freedom. Great video, as always, Feli, good to see some golden oldies coming back! 🙂
    8
  2085. Yes please cause I’m trying to learn German and I struggle with the umlauts
    8
  2086. Not exactly a challende, but probably fun. Have Ben watch a movie he does not yet know in German. Afterwards ask him what happened and what it was about (and record that). Then have him watch the same movie in English and record him while doing so for a classic "reaction" bit edit.
    8
  2087. I love these conversations! Especially fun listening to you switch back and forth between languages. My German is not that great so switching back and forth gives me practice "verstehening" German while fully understanding the context in English.
    8
  2088. Stops are always voiceless in German. So the same goes for t,d p,b and k,g although a final -ig is often pronounced as "ich"
    8
  2089. By that "logic", North Korea is a democracy.
    8
  2090. Huge difference in “socialism” and “National socialism” read a book.
    8
  2091. More please. Apparently the fact there are weed stores on every other few block around were I live and that really amazes/freaks some foreign students who check around Boulder/Denver. Never loses its charm.
    8
  2092. Thank you for the great description of fasching.
    8
  2093. Well.. I can only imagine how hard it is having your family half a world away - but, you'd be a welcome addition to our country for as long as you've a desire to stay. ;)
    8
  2094. My mom and I were visitng a friend in Passau and we went out for pizza. I ordered pepperoni, not knowing. Fast forward a week, we're at my aunt's house near Worms. We ordered pizza, guess what I did? facepalm
    8
  2095. The crime statistics he was reading are completely wrong and misinterpreted. :D Not sure I should watch the rest...
    7
  2096. I just had to explain to my daughters yesterday about fountain pens. I went to a German school here in the US, and we were required to use fountain pens, so I still use them. As for the shoes, I go to other people's homes for work, and the first thing I do is take off my shoes with people telling me I do not have to. :)
    7
  2097. Yes, Jungle Jim's is a store that's easy to get lost in--been there, done that. I think that going to that store and getting lost inside is something of a rite of passage for the people of the area. But it's one of the most unique grocery stores that you'll ever shop at.
    7
  2098. Thanks!
    7
  2099. I'm not of German descent, but as much as I enjoy the language, I had to watch this. Really awesome! I had NO idea that Germans were harassed after WWI, of all times. I could kind of understand if it had been post WWII, but the First World War...wow. Would be interested in more of these investigative episodes :)
    7
  2100. My inner linguist loves this!
    7
  2101. Hi Feli, ich verfolge deinen Kanal seit längerem (mal mehr, mal weniger) da ich Bekannte in den USA habe, selber aber nur 1x dort war. Für mich ist es interessant zu hören, wie man die USA als Mitteleuropäer wahrnimmt, wenn man dort lebt. Dieses Video hab‘ ich mir zu 100% ansehen müssen 😉 und ich bin schon gespannt, wie oft wir deinen Freund zu Gesicht bekommen. Du machst deine Sache gut und professionell! Weiter so!
    7
  2102. Love you felicia. It's sugar coat, as in put on a layer of something sweet for what might be bitter underneath.
    7
  2103. Now all we need is a collab with Dana from Wanted Adventure!
    7
  2104. hearing the reactions how things were is so great
    7
  2105. As a kid Jingle Jims was a few times a year trip to get all the hard to find ingredients. It's better these days, but still some things have to go there to buy.
    7
  2106. It felt like in my own mall in Strasbourg 🇫🇷 schokobon and Bueno are Life for sure 🍫

  2107. Zis vidio is wery gutt

  2108. Felicia: Sehr gut! Me: Yeah, me and my stumbling tongue. I like that music.
    7
  2109. I love and respect the way you say "Chicago". Spoken like a local
    7
  2110. Your pizza preference even makes me like the channel even more 🤟. The reading thing is kind of funny I always want to read but it's like I inherited my mom's interest in reading and she's mostly of German descent and just real quick most of my German lineage comes from the North I love both as well upper and lower 🤟🦌🤟
    7
  2111. Here in Seattle, we have a gelato shop that has stracciatella, and it's my favorite flavor of theirs. (Okay, that's only a half truth. It's my favorite flavor that they currently do. They used to do a chai gelato that I only had once, and it was to die for. I'm still hoping they bring it back.)
    7
  2112. Can we have a big celebration when you hit 100K?! At this rate it will be before coronavirus is over. I would support you in Patreon and merch. Why not?
    7
  2113. I have a German ancestry so I watching your videos you're teaching me about my heritage so thankyou
    7
  2114. Loved the “WOOOOOSHED”! Good on ya, from a well traveled American. I’m a new sub , but am loving your content. Keep it up! Turbos
    7
  2115. Your Lovelyness, In my humble opinion, trying to compare homes is "apples and oranges". I'd estimate that 90-95% of all U.S. home builders offer "semi-custom" homes. They have basic designs that you customize to fit your needs. I chose that the living room, family room and kitchen be one giant space. Something I noticed about kitchens in Germany was there were no "islands" in the kitchen, also called a "breakfast bar". Another thing I noticed was a lack of a "formal dining room". While my home has an "eat in kitchen", I also have a formal dining room. Something else I noticed, of the homes I was invited to, was the lack of a "den", a home office. The no closets thing, blew me away. All four of the bedrooms in my home have a bath and walk-in closet. You do have us on the windows! I did notice that, even in summer, the home was comfortable, temperature wise, by opening those wonderful windows. Keep up the wonderful videos. You take me back to the best years of my life. Germany, England, Italy, Spain, France, Egypt, Israel, the far east and Australia! Who'd have guessed a poor boy from "the hood" would see all that. I'm a Marine that was MarDet (Marine Detachment) in Germany and England.

  2116. Long time follower here Feli...I have experienced nude beaches and resorts in US....and I found that after the initial anxiety, found it quite enjoyable
    7
  2117. "Hi can we get 2 white claws please" Straight up LOL! I think i disturbed my neighbors.

  2118. New drinking game. Take a shot every time she touches her hair... 😂
    7
  2119. In some states(mostly southern) there are drive-thru liquor stores!
    7
  2120. You do have a stress relieving smile, but you're also much more than a pretty face. You're a smart, funny and overall awesome person. Viel Glück bei Ihren zukünftigen Bemühungen!
    7
  2121. Not German but I’ve known both versions of the fairy tales since I was a kid.
    7
  2122. Last time I was that early, Obama was still the president of the united states.... I'm just kidding: Congratulations Felicia on hitting 100.000 subscribers!! Can't wait to see your 200.000 subs special very soon!! 😉👌
    7
  2123. Great job and production quality.
    7
  2124. Love your vids! Ganz herzlichen Dank dafür und viele Grüße aus Irland! Mach’s gut!
    7
  2125. I have seen others use a patreon. Page to support endeavors or trips or excursions etc.
    7
  2126. Feli: Great job in notating the differences. This was very interesting. I truly enjoyed this video. Keep up the awesome work.
    7
  2127. Ein Schweinsteiger-Trikot!! Unser Held im WM Finale 2014!! Props an Josh gehen raus!!👏👏👍
    7
  2128. After watching your video, I bought the chest for my wife's birthday, and we all loved it! I met her in college in a German class 30 odd years ago, so this was kind of special. Thanks for recommending it!!
    7
  2129. Briggs isn't to be taken too seriously but it's excellent you are correcting him! He's funny sometimes so some people tolerate him knowing he isn't going to be totally accurate. I paid to use restroom in other countries like Peru.
    7
  2130. He was actually meaning not to "visit" Germany and was mostly joking about them, but I suggest you talk to him and educate him and he'll probably ask you for additional information and may even put out an updated version. Briggs seems to be a really good guy, and the thumbnail was a joke. Also, do you think he was talking about the Shengen Visa area program when he was talking about people coming into the country? But yeah, he's always been very receptive of flaws in his data and he does do occasional livestreams if you want to catch him them, too. This was a fantastic video to watch and thanks for your info. I subscribed! :)
    7
  2131. I can understand you struggling with our accents. African American English is tricky for most native English people. We tend to use more slangs and such. So it's understandable that you would struggle with it.
    7
  2132. On the other hand in the US, I wish more residential intersections were yield instead of stop signs like it is in Germany, much more efficient traffic flow😅
    7
  2133. "It doesn't bother me that I dream in English, what's annoying are the German subtitles." In fact, I am thinking like you: I mostly think and dream in concepts. Only when I write do I "hear" an "inner voice".
    7
  2134. Yeah, about the guns... I'm with Feli. Idk that I would like to potentially kill a person over a robbery. My bit of cash in my wallet is not that important to me... I guess the only circumstance I would consider using lethal force is if someone is deliberately out to physically hurt me or a loved one. But I would really prefer any other option than that which I feel carrying a gun on you will already put you in the mindset of eventually wanting to use it.
    7
  2135. Adidas and Haribo, didn't know it was German :D shocked!
    7
  2136. Das ist das best aufbereiteste Video, das ich bisher zu dem Thema gesehen habe. Ich dachte, du kannst mir nichts Neues erzählen, weil ich mir dazu schon sehr viel durchgelesen oder angeschaut habe von Anfang an. Aber die Mühe, die du dir gemacht hast, habe ich bei Niemandem (den ich bisher gesehen/gelesen habe) gefunden. Best Video I watched until now to this topic. And I watched and read some of the publications. I got some new informations through your video. Thanks for your effort.
    7
  2137. I've enjoyed Oktoberfest in Munchen on two occasions. I had a great time. This year I'm planning to celebrate in my Tennessee home.
    7
  2138. Clean and sober 33 years...One day at a time. Appreciate you bringing attention to the problem.
    7
  2139. In Poland we have something like the krapfens, that we call the pączki. We also have a special day in year, called The Fat Thursday, where you are allowed to eat the pączki, and any sweets as many as you can!

  2140. These videos always add a little ray of sunshine into my day. Invaluable especially during these worrying times. Keep them coming! 😊

  2144. ​@ Produktionskosten je kwh: - Strom aus Atomkraft 40 €-Cent/kwh - Strom aus Kohle ca.25 €-Cent/kwh - Strom aus Erneuerbaren ca. 7 €-Cent/kwh!!! Endverbraucher Preis in Deutschland aktuell im Schnitt 32 €-Cent/kwh! Mit Atom-Strom in der Preisberechnung wäre es mindestens 50 €-Cent/kwh! Ohne Kohle-Strom in der Berechnung wären wir bei ca. 27 €-Cent/kwh aktuell! Und wenn das Gas aus der Berechnung genommen würde, wäre eine Kwh mit Kohle in der Berechnung aktuell bei 28 €-Cent! Würde der Strom zu 90% aus Erneuerbarer Quelle stammen [wir sind aktuell bei fast 70% und wenn die in Umsetzung befindenden Maßnahmen von der Union nicht zerstört werden, kommen 80% unseres immer steigenden Bedarfs bis Ende '26 aus Erneuerbaren Quellen], würde eine kwh [ab '26] sicher unter 20 €-Cent uns Endverbraucher kosten! Nur die von den Grünnen genannte komplette streichung der Netzentgelte und Strom-Steuer wird die Kwh um bis zu 4 €-Cent MINDESTENS günstiger machen! --- Kernkraftwerke, wenn die letzten 3 nicht abgeschaltet worden wären in '23, hätten diese in '24 [laut allen Betreibern bestätigt] heruntergefahren werden und komplett überholt werden müssen [inkl, neue/aufbereitete Stäbe], das dauert 8 bis 10 Jahre ohne 1 kwh Strom produktion! Der Neubau bis zur Inbetriebnahme eines AKW's dauert mindestens 15 ehr 20 Jahre! Sollte eine Union also in '26 beschließen neue Akw's zu bauen [wobei Sie in Deutschland keinen finden werden der das machen will, da Insolvenz droht], wird die erste nutzbare Kwh frühestens in 2045 produziert werden! Ein EU-Land hat gerade beschlossen 2 neue zubauen, von deren Regierung geschätzte inbetriebnahme nicht vor 2050!!! - Danke an alle rational denkenden die bis hier gelesen haben!!! 🙂
    7
  2145. Thanks Feli, I had no idea that declawing was this savage. I agree with you, it's barbaric and as you say if you can't cope with a pet don't get one.
    7
  2146. It’s so funny to watch this video being a foreigner who studies German and can relate to your bf 6 years ago 😂 now I’m like “but it’s so easy!!!” “START SHES SAYING CAN WE START” good luck on your journey Ben! ✨
    7
  2147. Hey, great video Felicia. I have really been enjoying your videos. Although I am not German (but I believe there is some in my ancestry) I have been to Germany, Switzerland, etc. and many times I get mistaken for being German and have had many locals start to chat with me in German.
    7
  2148. I definitely applaud you for your fantastic command of the English language, Felicia. The voiced and unvoiced "f" is one sound many Germans struggle with, often pronouncing "of" and "off" the same way. Numbers can also be tricky, with Germans meaning to say, "thirteen, fourteen, fifteen," etc., but pronouncing them like "thirty, fourty, fifty". Most of my students struggle with sentnece structure (Satzgliedstellung) and tenses, tending to use present progressive where they ought to use simple present, or past progressive instead of simple past, for example: "I am thinking, you were drinking at Jenny's party last night too much beer." Sure, we native speakers understand what the person is saying, but it sounds profoundly German. I teach Germans to pronounce the English "r" by saying the letter "ö" and relaxing their lips. I teach the correct pronunciation of the English "th" by telling them to show "bunny teeth", then stick out the tip of their tongue while blowing air out of their mouths. Once they have that down, we practice the voiced and unvoiced "th". I love my job! It's so much fun!
    7
  2149. Yes you can make more travel vlogs or daily or weekly vlog sometimes. You are beautiful without make-up so you can film or make videos at home without make-up if you want. That could be another vlog, the difference how Europe or Germany vs USA when it comes to make-up.
    7
  2150. "German mindset in a nutshell!" ... loved that one! 👍🏻
    7
  2151. As a traveler, I use the word "wanderlust" very often as well as my other friends who love to travel too. I had no idea the word was German, and it was really cool to see that on the list!
    7
  2152. I like the integrity of your interactions. Fun.
    7
  2153. Two Felicias? NALF must be influencing you! Also, Hell is a small town in Michigan so there's another meaning 😂
    7
  2154. You've earned the Silver Play Button and every subscriber you have. You make wonderful videos. As an American born son of a German, I love you and your content.

  2155. In my opinion, To get good Italian food in the US, you have to go the New York City area. Chicago Deep dish style is good but I would rather have a Sicilian slice in New York. It is also a thick slice.

  2156. Ich musste über Christopher Lee lachen, der den Reportern sagte, dass er nicht sehr gut Deutsch auf Deutsch sprechen könne! 😂 Ich war auch sehr beeindruckt von Mark Strong und Sandra Bullock. 😀 Es macht mich glücklich, wenn ich Leuten zuhören kann, die Deutsch sprechen, und anfange, immer mehr Wörter zu verstehen (obwohl vieles davon noch zu schnell für mich war). Tolles Video!

  2157. YA FELI!!! Really like seeing the US through your eyes, so please make more videos like this one! Your friends seem really cool, glad you guys got a chance to enjoy Myrtle Beach together!

  2158. 11:15 „Graffiti estimated damage in Berlin 35-50 Million Euro“ .. where are the links to his sources? I find this https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/4-mio-euro-schaeden-pro-jahr-bvg-will-haertere-strafen-fuer-sprayer ... 4 mio. damage on public transportation... WAY LOWER then 35.

  2159. I was talking to a friend this afternoon, she was picking up a delivery for Postmates and she said the song that was being played was such a earworm. When she said earworm, I said eww thinking she had a worm 🐛 in her ear , then she explained what it was.

  2160. As an American living in Germany the past 10 years teaching English, can confirm all of this. After awhile the incorrect usage doesn't sound so wrong anymore. The most common one I run into is probably aktuell/actual(ly).
    7
  2161. I watch a lot of cross-culture youtube, and yours is one of the best! Very smart and wise for your age! You should try driving on the east coast of the US (DC and north) sometime! Then, you will start describing Germans as "laid back" driver! :)
    7
  2162. Nice to meet you Ben! I enjoyed the Chicago video and thought it was done so well. I wish you and Feli much luck! Tschuss!
    7
  2163. I am moving to Munich from the US next year right as Oktoberfest kicks off. To say I am excited is an understatment
    7
  2164. I love this! I am American but lived in Germany from 1 yo to 9 yo then Italy from 9 yo to 13 yo. Have been back in USA since is was 13 but having grown up in Europe I had the opportunity to grow up in other cultures which my parents made a point to explore those cultures. We still have many of traditions from time in Germany & Italy but also American traditions. I have definitely introduced my husband to many different traditions over the years, most of which he has enjoyed.

  2165. Another great video, thanks so much for your insight into cultural differences! I'm still amazed how German Josh sounds. - A note on "mistakes": I think linguists don't consider regional or colloquial deviations from the standard language, including grammar, a mistake if they are consistently used my native speakers. E.g. using "wie" instead of "als" for "than" would be correct in southern German informal spoken language, but a German teacher would mark it as a mistake in a written test or paper because the standard German grammar is expected there.

  2166. Hi Feli, thank you for your detailed breakdown of the differences between these two systems. Informative video! Cheers!

  2167. Ich muss schon sagen, dir zuzusehen hebt richtig die laune ... du hast so eine richtig positive ausstrahlung :) Wo hast du eigentlich mehr Zuschauer, in den USA oder Deutschland? Über die meisten der 10 Punkte denkt man garnicht nach ... aber wenn du das so sagst ... xD
    7
  2168. I love these tongue twisters. Good as a little language exercise and coordination. I made it up to "Red lorry", now I have a cramp in my tongue and can't close my mouth. Can anyone help me... please?! 🥴
    7
  2169. I like the way you pronounce, greenwich village. Let's start a new thing. They're just copying the English anyway
    7
  2170. Speaking about your last topic, I teach English and I often struggle with the decision whether to correct my students' colloquialisms or not, particularly in dialogues and oral exams. If most Americans use a particular (wrong) sentence structure on a regular basis and my students have picked it up from some TV show, I feel like it's not fair to correct them or take off points.
    7
  2171. Enjoyed your trip to Jungle Jim's . When I was growing up in nyc MANY years ago , my neighborhood (Yorkville) was primarily German and Irish (I'm the latter) . Zwieback was used as a teething bisquit when a baby was cutting teeth . It ws even sold in the aisle where the baby food was . Thanks for the interesting trip you took us on !
    7
  2172. Went to Germany for first time this month! 🇩🇪 Stuttgart to be exact, my parents always told me Europe fall/winters would be cloudy/rainy but there was still a positive vibe around the place 😌also they have Mercedes for literally everything, ambulances to dump trucks mind was blown 🙃
    7
  2173. Reminds me of the early to mid 70's. The outdoors, good scenery, rock and roll. Of course, even if you weren't carrying, you still got a contact buzz from the pot smoke. Ahh, the 70's. Cocaine was good for you and AIDS didn't exist. You two make a great couple.
    7
  2174. Mind blown 🤯. Thanks, SuperFeli!

  2175. I love the german "I need a donkey bridge". Not German but I love!!! the Polish(?) "not my circus not my monkey" LOL

  2176. Servus Feli that was really an interesting video with a lot of things I´ve never heard of. ps. Grüße aus Hannover, es ist gerade 3:37 ich sollte jetzt wohl mal schlafen gehen :D

  2178. Do I say the challenge should a scavenger hunt. He Must follow, and clues to retrieve items and bring them to finish line - very amazing race. You could even station people along that he needs to ask questions and understand their answers send him all over Cincinnati. Certainly many categories Vocabulary can be covered grammar ask questions etc. plus I think it’ll be a lot of fun. I would to Say that I have never seen any of these kinds of products that I thought were at all worthwhile this one I’m intrigued enough to check it out myself. Good on you for being involved with this product. Also a shout to Easy German and other languages cover in the “easy” series. I also like watching Bares für Rares. Es macht mir Spaß.
    7
  2179. Your channel is the first place I heard of people (who are not homeless) not using 2 sheets for their beds, OMG! I was in the service: everybody got 2 sheets. I lived briefly in South America: was always provided with 2 sheets. Humph🙃.
    7
  2180. Love you working with Ben on learning German!
    7
  2181. I love watching you and Ben shopping all the stores and Black Friday in the states because it reminds me of the first time I took my now husband, from Sigmaringen, shopping 😂 he was amazed by stores like Express, and how inexpensive it was, in Ohio. And how invested everyone was in making sure he was 'helped' every five min..

  2182. Zu Sarah Chalkes "hot chocolate soup": Wir haben im Kindergarten manchmal Schokoladensuppe zum Mittag bekommen. Das ist im Prinzip sowas wie heißer Schokopudding, nur etwas flüssiger. Das haben wir dann gegessen wie Suppe. Dazu gab's Zwieback. 😊

  2183. I'm always fascinated with other cultures and traditions. Especially germans

  2184. 4. Well.... usually doppelganger in the US (in my experience anyway) conveys a sense of exactness that look-alike just does not. Verboten is one I've encountered as a stronger form of forbidden

  2185. Feli you’re amazing! I enjoy & have fun with this series 😄 The amount of research that you put into this videos is incredible! ❣️

  2186. I mispronounced all of them, and the rest i didn't even try saying.

  2187. It is a simple fact that most of the time peeing while standing up into a normal toilet you are going to miss the target. Considering this there is no question which way of peeing to choose if you are the one who has to clean the mess afterwards. And pee standing up or sitting down is not a question of masculinity! It's a question of bad or good manners! It is a basic rule I learned when I was a kid. The only occasions where pee standing up are the preferred way to go is when there is an urinal or a messy public toilet. By the way I'm from Munich Germany.
    7
  2188. Living abroad can change your life, if you are opened enough for a new experience and a different lifestyle you will automatically change something after a while and that's absolutely fine and properties like thinking more positive is a good one, keep that and mix it up with the good ones from Germany. People Germany have enough reasons to smile a lot more, that country accomplished a lot in a short time. Thanks for video and that big, big smile in your lovely face!!🥂🍀🌹
    7
  2189. Such a great, well-researched presentation! You are so articulate and well spoken, much more so than most university professors I had. Thank you!! 😊

  2190. Deiner beste produktion bis jetzt. Ich liebe Historie. Das war echt informativ. Sehr sehr gut und Danke sehr Felicia.
    7
  2191.  @FelifromGermany  Even Trump said "America is the greatest democracy in the world" when he was president. You can argue about the superlative of course, but if the president of the USA says it is a democracy, then why is anyone even arguing this? Surely if anyone would know it would be the president right?
    7
  2192. Hi Feli, great job on creating this amazing video and we are very impressed with your 'On Air' reporting skills - Du bist ein Vorbild für alle Deutsche in America!!! Claudia & Stephen
    7
  2193. I believe I was a German in a previous life. I just can't get enough of these Germans in America or American in Germany videos.
    7
  2194. You are so charismatic. I watched a few videos each day since, well, i found you. This is only because of the Carona virus scare. I have more time to watch YouTube. I hope your day is great!

  2195. AC: When I first moved to Austria 20 years ago I was SHOCKED to find out out that buildings here were not air-conditioned. The first thing I bought when I got my first paycheck was one of those portable air-conditioners. All my Austrian friends had a good belly laugh at my expense, but there was NO WAY I was going to be tossing and turning at night trying to sleep in hot, humid weather. Now EVERYONE's running out to buy air-conditioners. I guess I had the last laugh after all... Bug screens: Oh, how I miss those! Garbage disposals: I miss those too! I have yet to see a single garbage disposal in my travels all over Europe. Instead Europeans collect all their organic waste in special garbage cans at home and then dutifully walk or drive to one of those large containers to empty them. Seems very inconvenient to me, especially since we have the technology, i.e. garbage disposals, to take care of organic waste in just a few seconds. As to the popular argument here in Europe that ground up organic waste is bad for the sewer, this is just anti-technology nonsense. Undigested ground up organic matter (from a garbage disposal unit) or digested organic waste matter (from the toilet) makes no difference to a sewage treatment plant. Ranch dressing: I had to wipe the saliva from the corner of my mouth when Feli brought up ranch dressing. All they have here in Austria and Germany is this tasteless yogurt dressing, which is basically plain yogurt mixed with olive oil and vinegar. Blah! And there's one dressing that's even better than ranch, bleu cheese! Yum!! Some other things I miss from the U.S.: Soft toilet paper - I was just talking to an American friend an hour ago about how impossible it is to find soft toilet paper in Europe. Sand paper would be a better description for what passes for toilet paper here. Dryer sheets - Europeans are absolutely CLUELESS when it comes to dryer sheets or fabric softener. They do have something resembling fabric softener here, but all it does is give your clothes a fresh scent. It doesn't straighten wrinkles, it doesn't get rid of static electricity and it doesn't remove pet hair. Standard size refrigerators: The typical European fridge is small - VERY small. They're about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of a standard American refrigerator. You have to actually bend down to open them since they're typically located under the kitchen counter. They typically store a quart of milk, a quart of juice, some cheese and deli, a few tomatoes and head of lettuce and that's about it. Let's not even talk about the freezer space since it's tiny and only fits about two pounds of frozen meat at most. It's basically the type of small fridge you see on college campuses. How an entire continent runs on these tiny refrigerators is beyond me! News anchors: German-speaking news anchors are indistinguishable from talking robots. This is no joke! They have no personality, they do not smile, they do not laugh. They read the news in a serious, monosyllabic tone devoid of all human emotions. If you call a company or government office and get a menu, you guess it, the recording sounds exactly like a robot. The Austrians are far worse than the Germans in this respect. The voice you hear in the subway, busses and trams here in Austria is so austere and robotic, it's enough to bring you to tears! Once while on the subway in Stockholm I got to hear their automatic announcements - the female voice was so soft and pleasant to listen to, you almost didn't want to leave the subway. I wish the Austrians would take a cue from the Swedes!

  2196. That was exceptionally informative and fun! Thank you so much, now I can go to Oktoberfest in style!

  2197. You explain so well, if folks would just pay attention and actually listen. SMH .. :p

  2198. ​ @chrissoclone as Beer at the Munich Oktoberfest is usually only served in full litres, the price in 2024 been around 15€, you can say that Disney is just double the price
    7
  2199. I love your videos!!! As an American I can tell you that the cliches that you mentioned are generally true. I might even venture to say stereotypical. We are self-absorbed and we don’t know about anyplace beyond our own borders if not the places within our borders. It’s a running joke with my friends that Americans learn geography not in school, but from the news as we send troops off to support of fight someplace. Kinda sad, but somewhat true, unfortunately.

  2201. I am totally jelly that Josh‘s accent is so good! I wonder if it‘s too late for me to work on my „r“. In a linguistic class I learned there are differences depending on your region when saying „cot“ and „caught“.

  2202. Great episode! We need part 2! :)

  2203. More beer, please! I split my time between Oslo, Norway and Lucca, Italy, and often travel from one place to the other. In Norway you can get the weissbiere from Weihenstephan and Paulaner (but they cost 4 to 6 Euros per bottle), in Lucca you get Hofbräu, Spaten, Löwenbrau, Paulaner, both weissbiere and helles. A few others as well, I think the own-brand Lidl beer (Perlenbacher) is a rebranded Oettinger. There are so many breweries in Germany!

  2204. Can people of different genders please be friends without everyone immediately assuming they're in a relationship?😩

  2206. Definitely bread and dairy is better in Germany. It was one of the first things I noticed when I visited. Also, the wonderful smell when you walk into a meat deli. I found the food in Germany to he really good in general.

  2207. I learn more when it's fun like this.

  2209. You make Germany sound awesome. I would really like to go there sometime. I am a life long Midwesterner.

  2210. I was quite puzzled in Germany one time, when an acquaintance seemed quite proud that he knew that the correct pronunciation of Vancouver (BC, Canada) was "Wancouver". I thought to myself "If he just said the "V" in his normal way, it would sound like a German accent, but would still be much closer that the English "W" that he's using now." Thank-you for finally clearing up for me just why he did that.
    7
  2211. How I WISH I could go back to Germany. I was stationed in Schwaebisch Gmund in the 80s.

  2212. Thanks for all of your videos, they have been influential in expanding my understanding of German culture/society. I am enrolled at Hochschule Landshut for a year starting this September and I've also lived in Cincinnati down in Clifton next to campus and in Norwood. It's a small world.

  2213. New Jersey here and every one of your "commen in the USA" bathroom traits are virtually ubiquitous here, you totally nail it.
    7
  2214. Regarding the weather, the claim of Siberian weather influencing Germany is complete bull. Siberian weather blows into Korea and northern Japan, which is on the complete other side of the Eurasian landmass. (And it does make January and February in Korea bitterly cold and windy. I've had six years of experience with that.)

  2215. Stop. Feli-time.

  2216. Shower heads on a hose cost anywere from $15 - $100 while stationary shower heads cost like $4. This is why most rentals come with a stationary shower heads. Those of us that prefer hosed shower heads. Buy our own and take them with us when we move.
    7
  2217. FELI! Willcommen zurück! :-D No WONDER that in English, "grim" refers to something seriously upsetting! Strangely enough, I Have heard a few of the Grimm version of a couple of those tales, but it was sooooo long ago! Understandable that Disney "sanitized" them before presentation. It's a wonder that German children didn't have more nightmares from them!

  2220. I was about to skip this episode because of its length, but surprisingly enough it was so entertaining, those 45 mins were like nothing! Thumbs up 😘 30:13 hey Feli, tell him the appropriate word for it: Lichthupe 😁 40:25 that's simply because in the USA there is no such thing as 1300 😄
    7
  2221. Yes I would love to hear about the bathroom. Was always told sitting while peeing made me a sissy (another word was used in it's place
    7
  2222. Ooh, i think we actually needed this Video lol Danke für deinen content insgesamt, liebe deine Videos :)
    7
  2223. Thank you! This was fantastic and helped me nail an audition. Or should I say: "Zis vas fantastik und helped me nail an audizion!" Having gone to school in Berlin, I'm actually better at speaking Deutsch than I am at speaking English with a German accent. But I can hear it when it is done authentically. So this really helped me think about why it sounds different and what is happening vocally to make it sound like a native German speaker. Danke sehr!

  2226.  @FelifromGermany  Hallo! I am really impressed with your well informed and perceptive video! While I do not live in the USA, I have been exposed to its cultural influences for decades, from since reading MAD magazines in the late 1970s. I follow political cartoonists from all over the world and follow a good many American ones. I have therefore remained reasonably abreast of their news, but not only current events, its history, too. In order to understand Editorial cartoons, one must know the culture and history behind them and over the years I have learnt, and continue to learn, about black American history. Surprisingly, knowing African American history has helped me understand the racial communities in South Africa, where I was born. Reading through the comments and rebuttals above pushing back at your video, know that you have produced an excellent, well balanced informational video. The attention to nuance in particular. Danke! - ein weißer Südafrikaner, geboren in der Apartheid-Ära (1969), und lebt jetzt in Wien, Österreich.

  2229.  @FelifromGermany  I get that, Feli. And my comment wasn't meant as a critique, just as a little addition to your video 😉 I think we swiss are a bit paranoid when it comes to politic and power, so we do everything to avoid enabling one person or group to get too much power. Hence the 7 head of states or the avoidance of even having a capitol named LOL

  2230. You nail your "Th" so well had I not known I would not have guessed you are German.

  2231. A very informative and even poignant presentation

  2232. I grew up in the U.S. in like the southwest area and so many people told me you won’t be afraid of guns if you shoot them. Not true at all shooting actually made me more nervous about guns.

  2234. I visited Germany in June of 1994 for the 50th anniversary of D-Day with my father (WWII Vet). Understandably we didn’t stay any place for more than a couple of days, but I can say from my experience that my favorite place was Germany. People were very gracious and welcoming. The only thing I would suggest is that you learn the language. I found the country side beautiful and the weather pleasant. Anyway thanks for the videos.
    7
  2235. Very fun, Feli! Reverse culture shocks for me coming back to America from being a student in Germany: I’ll never forget seeing ice cubes after 11 months! In America found it was Ok to be quieter than most people around me - hadn’t felt that way before- and to be more reflective. US weather more extreme and everything bigger of course. Cheers thanks

  2236. I used to work at a VW, Porsche, Audi dealership, so I knew about those. It does drive me nuts when I hear people say Porsche without the final e and some of them think they're car people.
    7
  2237. I wish you happiness and success with your American dream, young lady. I love your enthusiasm for life. I once spent a week in Munich and found it to be a beautiful city. I probably don't have to tell you Munich and Cincinnati are considered sister cities. My paternal grandparents came here from Russia in 1905 and my maternal grandparents from Wales and Norway around the same time. We are all immigrants or descendants of immigrants.

  2238. Casting is what the director does in English. Auditioning is what the actor does.

  2239. Still haven't watch your video ... but I wondered if you would ever touch upon 'Fairy Tales' Looking forward to it. Kudos for your discretion and waiting through the turbulent past several weeks.

  2240. I'm Australian and the first time I heard an American pronounce Adidas I was so confused and told them I had never heard of the company. Once we figured it out we spent the next 5minutes arguing about how to pronounce it 🤣

  2241. Very interesting!! I've never had German school systems explained so thoroughly.
    7
  2242. Nice rebuttal to Briggs... As some one who wandered over here because he complimented you, I have to say, I agree with him when he says you seem like a good blogger. Coming from California... You get used to his 10 reasons NOT... take them with a touch of humor as they are meant and you will be fine. That said... in most cases almost every stat any one in this country (USA) points to as a social or criminal negative in other countries seems to usually be worse here. It's sad, but most Americans just don't realize it. That said, it will be fun to add you to my play list.

  2243. 6:33 the plants called "Margariten" are called "marguerites" in French and then the "Gänseblümchen" are called "pâquerettes" So it's actually a distance from the vifeo

  2244. Liebe Feli ! Du hast die Weihnachtsgeschichte so wunderschön erzählt, da hat einem das Zuhören richtig Freude bereitet. Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie und Freunden auch ein friedliches , besinnliches Weihnachtsfest und einen Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr. Liebe Grüße aus Norddeutschland.

  2248. You’ve handled the sex topic very well in this post. Germany handles sex education for youth better, more comprehensively than in the US. I think it would be awesome if sex education in the US was similar to that in Germany, but at out States level, not Federal. Your stats of 7.9% Germany vs. 41.2% US out of 1000 was shocking. There are other factors in the US that contributes to teen pregnancies including race, economics, and social programs that actually pay for or promote having babies at a young age. I don’t know if Germany has such factors, too. Your summary was very good. Religious beliefs vs factual information was a good point! Agree completely. Sehr gut gemacht, deutsches Mädchen. Es tut uns leid. Meine deutsche Schrift ist nicht sehr gut. FYI: Our family is German American, still considers itself German, and has lived in North America since the early 1600s. The US and German nations don’t have similar governments. Like, at all. Germany came into being through empire and the sword; for much of your history you were governed by the aristocracy and an emperor. Not you are a democracy. The US resulted from ideals. We aren’t a pure democracy and loathe the tyranny of the majority (well, some of us). For example, our religious rights aren’t derived from government and can’t be overruled by American courts. In theory at least. And we aren’t beholden to a European court on human rights. Government and Courts can’t grant rights to US citizens. We already have those rights. Courts can only remove rights from citizens. The phrase is “crossing a line”, not “crossing a border”. US separation of Church and State vs German was an interesting distinction. It’s a discussed topic in the US. I would prefer the German model of Church and State not separated. :-)

  2250. Love your channel! Hope you never get tired of posting videos! I can identify with what you're saying regarding walking versus driving for really short distances. There's a nice little sandwich shop less than a quarter of a mile away from where I work. I have always walked there, but my coworkers get in their cars and drive to it. I never understood why they do that.

  2251. Great research. Well done.

  2255. Thank you for your video. I didn’t even know about this speech from Vance until watching this (typically I tune out of anything he says to preserve brain cells). This was a very informative and interesting video. I often find I quite like the German laws and society and German life. It fuels my interest to visit some more

  2257. I’m glad you’re a feminist because men and women need to have the same rights, privileges and protections.

  2258. That last question, and your responses, were really interesting. Also, I'm an American who spent a year living in Russia, and booooyyy did it do some funny things to my English brain. It didn't really alter my ability to speak my native language, but it got me thinking, "Wait...is this sentence/construction right or wrong?!?!?!?" alll the time. Feli, I love your channel, keep it up! oh, and both of you speak your ~second languages~ super well!
    6
  2259. I'm from the Hannover area where the purest German (Hochdeutsch) is spoken. I struggled ALOT with words that were dialect with English influence because both the dialect and English are a little foreign to me. Merging them makes it so hard for me to differenciate. I could definitely have a way easier conversation in English. But I'm sure it's easier for Germans from south west Germany.

I'm really curious since you are amazingly fluent in English - about how long does it take you to automatically begin thinking in English after you have been speaking in German for an extended time? This video was really very interesting in showing how much work you have done in the past to speak English like a native speaker because there were just a few times where your German diction slips back into your English pronunciations.

  2263. Man, that sounds fun! I don't think I'd want to come back!

  2264. The "misunderstanding" is generally a disingenuous Republican talking point, to remove the word democracy, or Democrat from the U.S. vernacular. They know "republic" and "democracy" are not mutually exclusive. I feel like it's also a way of justifying many of the attempts to pass draconian voting laws, making the system less democratic. That's my take anyway

  2265. I never was a sports person until I was unemployed during the 2010 world cup. I watched the entire tournament with my late father. We both got quite into it. He passed away a few years later, but I have that connection with him when I do watch it now. I do watch at least a few Bundesliga matches a week when I have the time.

  2266. Would love a video on the umlauts!

  2267. Congratulations!

  2268. 4:59 Same here! LOL I am doing the same two things! I have been back from the States for two years now, and I still slip up wishing people a nice day. LOL And I still excuse myself for getting too close to them. Well, not now, with the Rona... ya know. :-D Greetings from Bavaria.

  2269. Also, American here, and I much prefer gelato. I love how much creamier it is and the fruitier flavours.

  2270. Excellent work, very well done. Love this topic from you, I have learned so much. Photos and videography simply amazing!

  2271. Voll krass wie gut sein Akzent ist

  2272. honestly just occasionally watching your videos, while living since 2015 in bavaria, but in heart true born Praguer I hope you will have nice stay in my home city 😉
    6
  2273. I really like your channel! I moved to the USA last week and as a Dutchie it's quite usefull to watch your videos!
    6
  2274. Liebe Feli Fun fact about Weizen: ‚til the 16th Century ist isnt allowed to brew Weizenbier, because Weizen (wheat) is to feed the people and not get drunk. Du machst das echt klasse! Du strahlst eine Lebenslust aus, dass es mir immer wieder Spass macht, deine Vids zu sehen. A Minga eben, passt scho. Mach weiter so 👍
    6
  2275. Grüße aus München, so ganz nebenbei 😉 Meine Urgroßmutter war Native American, mein Dad wurde in Texas geboren, also bin ich gerade dabei, meine Wurzeln zu erkunden. Ich hoffe, ich schaffe es dieses Jahr mal in die USA. Bin aber bestens gerüstet, u.a. dank deiner Videos. 👍

  2276. wow, what an incredibly insensitive comment
    6
  2277. Great video! Like the history about the German brands too. Definitely would be good to see video on the different beer breweries with some history.
    6
  2278. Congratulations on the explosive growth of your channel you deserve it! You being a Pisces definitely shows! I myself am a Pisces. Great video Felicia!
    6
  2279. I guessed it! You guys make an adorable couple!♥️
    6
  2280. Loved the vlog, Feli. How about you share some cooking vids with us? Low risk and I, for one, would be wildly interested in seeing you prepare some of your favorite dishes! Stay safe and keep up the good work!

  2281. His accent is just awesome, very impressed :O
    6
  2282. Man. It's like those Germans have a different word for EVERYTHING!
    6
  2283. Very nice experience two awesome friends OMG so cool 😄👌
    6
  2284. I don‘t know why but i‘m really afraid that they don‘t film many videos together in the future because the views are unfortunately not very „high“ which makes me sad because i just love their chemistry and their videos together!
    6
  2285. I've been studying Russian, even though my forefathers came from Germany, but I'm surprised at how much I understood. Never had any proper education on German, but crossover and context clues surprise me
    6
  2286. Love your positive attitude and love your smile!
    6
  2287. Thank You, this was so informative. You were such a sweetie when you were young. JRS

  2288. Ah the things we do for love, eh, Ben? ;) Great video and the app is really cool, Feli!

  2289. Congrats on 100k Feli!! I've been here since the start of quarantine and i'm so glad to see you get here! Next, 1 million subs!

  2290. Thats the best reason. Now she can go back and forth and not have to justify why she is coming back to the US and not have time limits between visits.
    6
  2291. Definitely do a second video! I'm an American and I hate wearing my shoes indoors and can't stand tucked in beds.
    6
  2292. i am fascinated with how WELL you PRONOUNCE all your words! (this is a compliment, btw! :)

  2293. Also ich als Rostockerin kann sagen, dass wir keine Schokosuppe mit Schlagsahne zum Frühstück essen 😂

  2294. Thank you for the information! Helpful, I’m the next one))
    6
  2295. Frohe Weihnachten! I can’t believe how many words I recognized when you were reading! The story so much more beautiful in German than it is in English. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and the most happiest of new years!
    6
  2296. Ich mag eure Videos zusammen. 💕 Wie die peinlichen Männlein hier teilweise ihre Eifersucht in salzigen Kommentaren zur Schau stellen, ist aber auch ein kleines bisschen unterhaltsam. 😂 Lasst euch nicht ärgern 😘
    6
  2297. Your point about sentence structure is interesting to me because of the Pennsylvania German influence in the Lehigh Valley, PA. So, those of us with that heritage will sometimes switch the subject/predicate order because of phrases we have grown up with here. For example, "make out the lights" is one, although older and not really used any more. Another example often cited, "throw the horse over the fence some hay". The German settlers in this area came mainly from the Alsace region as I recall. They were mistakenly called "Pennsylvania Dutch", where Dutch was inserted for Deutsch. One of the sounds that still exists somewhat is replacing the "j" sound with a soft "ch" sound. So, instead of saying just it comes out as chust. Love your vids, keep them coming!

  2298. With all the time and effort Josh spent on native German accents and the success he's had, it seems that he is very good at learning accents. So I'm wondering, has he practiced other English accents besides his native accent from southern Ohio? And does he think it would be harder to learn a different English accent than it was German accent, since he'd have to relearn how to speak his native language?
    6
  2299. Oh wow, vielen Dank für die Richtigstellungen! Ist ja echt unerträglich. My two cents: (1) Crime rates and crime numbers: One should also add that the crime rates (mostly) raised because of the increasing number of right-wing, fascist, neo-nazis, "besorgte Bürger" (however you to call them) attacks on other people, immigrants, asylum seekers' residences etc. and not from the source he tried to insinuate... (2) Wrong, wrong, wrong. Germany do not have "high taxes";  - first: you mix up taxes (Steuern) and charges (levies? Abgaben). Even if you sum up both, actually Germany is the centre span: https://steuermythen.de/mythen/mythos-5/ https://www.zeit.de/politik/deutschland/2019-01/staatsfinanzen-einkommensteuer-single-familien-abgaben-differenz-5vor8/komplettansicht - second: Considering only income taxes, Germany is almost on the same level as the US: https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article191736757/OECD-Studie-Bei-der-Steuerlast-gehoert-Deutschland-zur-Weltspitze.html#cs-lazy-picture-placeholder-01c4eedaca.png If you really want to compare the taxes and charges, you must add the cost of an average health care and pension fonds (giving you the same benefits as in Germany) in the US... and then let's see... I would be surprised it's cheaper tbh. The main problem in Germany is the overall taxes people have to pay (income tax, value added tax, tax on petrol etc. combined). Because the reforms taking place the past 20 yrs only benefited people with high incomes. And btw: you compare the real rate of taxation in the US and Germany, the US is far more unequal. The more money you get, the less tax you are going to pay: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/10/06/opinion/income-tax-rate-wealthy.html

  2300. Pros and cons of living in Germany: a pro: culture! This guy didn't mention it! There are five orchestras and a world-class opera house in Munich alone! No city of that size (1,500,000) has anything like that in the States. That would be one of THE best reasons to live in Germany. Great video! Herzlichen Dank!

  2301. How do you know? I was just looking for a video to watch.
    6
  2302. Pa. Germans have a similar word to Purzelbaum. It is pronounced, "Batzelbaum", meaning somersault, too.

  2303. Nicely done, Feli! It was awesome to meet you at Home Depot!

  2304. Good for you, nyc rocks, you have a great smile

  2305. Steffi is so beautiful! I also watched the previous video of yours featuring her as well and thought the same thing back then. Gorgeous girl! Your brother is lucky 💖
    6
  2306. Wow. I stumbled upon this video by accident and this literally blows my mind ^^ I am from Luxembourg and we learn to speak German by the age of 6 I guess, French by the age of 9, and English by the age of 12. In my case, I even have Italian origins but I can't speak an entire sentence in Italian unfortunately, but I do understand like 75% of what Italians speak. This just to say that we in Luxembourg at least speak 4 different languages, but none as perfect as you two do. Maybe it is because I have to switch between those 4 languages all the time at my job. I would love to speak accent-free german and/or french! Also, I could listen to you two all day long! It is so calming to hear your perfect pronunciation and your clear voices!
    6
  2307. I get the feeling that Karneval is mainly celebrated in Central and South Germany, like the Rhine region, not so much in Northern Germany. I'm from Lübeck in Northern Germany and have no connection to carneval other than watching news clips about carneval on TV.
    6
  2308. What a fun video. You are a delight. For the Europeans watching this, if you look at a list of the largest sports stadiums in the world, the biggest majority of the top 20 are all American University football stadiums, and they fill those up every game. :) Thanks for the video. I wish I was on twitter that is a nice shirt.

  2309. I struggle a lot with self-conscious vs selbstbewusst. It's not really that category, but with conscious and bewusst meaning the same, but these words being practically opposites, it always throws me off.

  2310. My grandma made hot chocolate soup for me as well when I was a kid - but usually for lunch. She was from North-East-Germany. Maybe its a regional thing? It's more a thinner, warm chocolate pudding. It is made with additional eggs: while the yolks are mixed amoung the soup, the egg whites are beaten and formed to a sort of dumplings and are added to the soup in the last minute. Through the remaining heat these dumpling get stiff. It sounds that Sarah Chalkes grandma did a simular effect with the whipped cream on top.

    6
  2313. I love your videos soo much! It helps me to learn English! And yes, this German accent is soo bad. I hate it when my classmates start speaking with it!🙉🙉🙉😭😊

  2314. Great rebuttal of an awful video. Full disclosure, I’m a former American, naturalized German citizen who has been here for over 20 years. The inaccurate and misleading representation of crime statistics seems quite in line with a staunch right wing agenda. I would like to interject about taxes. I think that it is a misnomer that the tax burden in Germany is that much higher. Two cases in point: property taxes and total cost for healthcare. We bought our home in Germany about four years ago and pay property taxes. If you compare German property taxes to American, it costs between ten and twenty times more than in Germany. It’s quite common to pay between $5,000 to even $10,000 for property taxes in the USA, which is completely off the scales here. Property taxes are so significant for real estate in the USA, that this is factored into your monthly costs when calculating a mortgage. Yes, real estate costs a lot more in Germany, but Americans pay more for property taxes by an order of magnitude. If you look at what we pay for healthcare and what we get for it, there is no comparison to the situation in the USA. We have a maximum copay for medicine of €10 per prescription or day’s stay in the hospital, with humane annual caps on both, and we have no copayments for doctor visits. Most Americans’ health insurance has really high thresholds of coverage with significant copayments, deductibles and exclusions. The portion of healthcare costs that most Americans have to cover themselves is so high that there is even a scheme of tax sheltered savings accounts to cover medical expenses, and those who can afford it put thousands of dollars into these accounts. Just looking at these two details makes me skeptical that Germans are more burdened by taxes than Americans. Yes, we can also get into free university education in Germany, other social services and the welfare state here, but property taxes and healthcare effect everyone in both countries, even for those who rent - as the rent paid also needs to cover the owner’s costs. Overall, great response. Now, I’m heading over to that over video to give it a big thumbs down!

  2315. 'Nother great topic - thanks! Near where I live in Massachusetts, we DO have a place nearby that sells home-made gelato that is wonderful and Stracciacella is indeed one of the flavors sold. I fell in love with it when we visited Italy a couple of years ago. However, I do love good quality American ice cream as well, and we have some wonderful places that serve it close to where I live, where there's always a line. Just like good quality bread (I make a mean homemade 100% rye sourdough Bauernbrot :) -- I think there's a huge difference in the quality of ice cream as well if it's homemade.

  2316. I like the way you used a split screen … as always very entertaining and informative

  2317. The first lady speak English like she went abroad in her childhood from Germany to the US and now she speaks german after a long time again. But good german. Easy to understand.

  2318. Brilliant, thank you. Käsespätzle next please!
    6
  2319. Yes, a video about German beer types/brands would be great.
    6
  2320. Congrats on such a huge following, Feli! Ausgezeichnet! Just imagine a foootball stadium full of followers!! You have such a cheery manner, it's no surprise you're doing well. People see you as Asian? Seriously?!! How much travelling have you done to Austria, Italy, France, Poland, UK or the like?

  2321. I would recommend learning German by watching German TV and reading German grammar books. I once met a guy from Iraq who spoke perfect English. When I asked if he learned English in school, he said no. He spent a year in a refugee camp where the only TV available showed English-language programming. After watching several hours of TV a day, he was slowly able to start speaking English. He also speaks Farsi (Iranian/Persian), which he learned from his girlfriend. She speaks no English or Arabic, so he started picking up a few words in Farsi whenever she would speak. Now he can carry on a fluent conversation in Farsi. I learned German, first by reading the same grammar books over and over again, since if you don't know the cases, it's basically impossible to speak German. After I'd memorized all the different cases, then I cautiously started speaking a few words with native speakers. In the evenings I would practice any new words I learnt that day as well as their pronunciation in front of a mirror. At nights I would read online German newspapers out loud to myself. And I swear, after one year of doing this I was able to speak German fluently, and I'm told, accent free. Pretty amazing, huh?

  2322. In addition to German, my maternal grandmother had some Pennsylvania Dutch forebears apparently. Always love a good Feli reaction video! :-)

  2323. Yes to your favorite idioms translated haha. My host mom has a "now we have the salad" set of funny translations. I was just thinking of animal translations, and also love flower translations - little goose flower, Easter bell, Pentecost rose haha.

  2324. You're an incredible decorator. That room (woah it's actually the attic, I guess??) tells a lot about your personality. The map is soo cool! Well... Keep it going!

  2325. Interesting video. What I missed: The "schwäbisch-alemannische Fasnet" and the "Guggenmusik". I'm not sure, but when I've hear the first time from it, it was music coming from Switzerland. Thank you for the Music-Playlist. It's many years ago, I've had a Faschingsparty. All the best for you and the viewers of your channel.

  2339. Best name for a podcast ever.

  2340. Your comment on “fake invitations” is very interesting, and even hard for certain Americans to understand. Because American social standards are complex, there are quite a few Americans who don’t understand all of the social cues, especially children. For example, when I was a kid, I met my great uncle for the first time, to this day I’ve only met him once. He invited our family over to his home in Texas, and I was very excited. I later asked my parents when we were going to Texas, and they had this confused look and said”We aren’t going to Texas... we were just trying to please him”. To me, it made no sense and sounded like we were making plans. But it’s all only small talk...
    6
  2341. I've seen you comment a couple of times how some Germans wish Americans would be more honest when having a conversation. I'm an American who used to live in Japan. There its the opposite. Most Japanese feel Americans are too direct and honest, which in Japan comes across as being rude.

  2342. Dieses hääää hat mich gekillt 😂😂

  2343. The company I work for is based out of Stuttgart, and I recall my former boss who was German adding a 't' sound to the end of words which end with a D. I haven't noticed the other ones yet, but I may have to keep my ears open the next time I speak with any of my German colleagues! Great video!
    6
  2344. WOW. Great video! I didn't know any of that about German roads, and driving! I always learn something from you. You'd make a great instructor. 60K is a large number, but it's not stopping there. Just try to be ready, and to be a superstar.
    6
  2345. we definitely need a part 2!
    6
  2346. Thanks for taking the time to post this, Feli.
    6
  2347. Thanks! Feli, you obviously put a lot of time into this; a topic which we in the US would only have a one-sided view of. You kept it moving, and you kept it interesting. 💯
    6
  2348. Yeah. That's one of many things I prefer about Costco to Walmart. Costco doesn't even have plastic bags available. They do have some cardboard boxes, but even then, they ask you if you want them, or if you just want everything placed into the cart.

  2349. A guy from the US asked me when I told him I was from England if I knew Peter who was also from England!!! Like mate 65 million people live in England :)

  2351.  @Malember  And yet groceries are a lot cheaper in Germany despite the VAT (unlike in the USA the marked prices in Germany already include sales tax/VAT).
    6
  2352. "Criminals don't follow the law" is missing the point entirely. It's about how easy it makes it for someone to make a split second decision to end someone else's life when they have easy and ready access to guns.
    6
  2353. That is correct with compound words, where the first word ends with a double-consonant, and the other starts with the same consonant. Another example is "Schifffahrt" ("Schiff-fahrt"). [Journey by ship.]

  2354. Very interesting story. Sounds like you had a bit of luck the way things just kind of fell into place. I really enjoy your channel and when you & Josh do Understanding Train Station

  2358. I hope you were able to play a game of beer pong :) I was a wild college student and had almost all of the traditional college experiences and it was so much fun. I wonder if you stay in a dormitory...Thanks for the video!
    6
  2359. Hi Felicia. What a lovely young lady you are. My wife and I lived in Germany for 4 years, and our two older sons were born there. We've been back a few times to visit the dear friends we made there. We LOVED living in Germany, and would be happy to discuss some of the more subtle, but perhaps more meaningful differences we encountered. Since you've gotten over 3,000 comments, I imagine that someone has mentioned that, if you pay for gas with a credit card in America, you can pump all the gas you want, and you'll get charged for whatever you take WITHOUT having to pre-pay. I hope your experience in America was a very good one, and I enjoyed your video. Tchuss!

  2362. This is the very reason I get my bread from the neighborhood bakery. I like a nice crispy crust. Also, there's a German bakery on my way to work. I will sometimes stop in for a fresh sandwich roll for my lunch, oh, and most of the time something for the ride to work. :)
    6
  2363. I'd really like you to make a video about pronouncing letters with umlauts!
    6
  2364. After you got almost everything in there and gave the tour it felt really warm and cozy. As a guy there's definitely a part of me that couldn't care less about decorating a room. Then there's the part of me that sees your end result and thinks to myself, "Wow, that looks really nice and inviting!"
    6
  2365. I like your YouTube shelf and how your light-boxes illuminate YOU and the background gets some ambient light. This puts better focus on you while the slightly subdued background is just nice scenery.

  2368. Ordinarily, I blow through in-program promotions. Your bit on Kleo was so tightly and richly related to your deeply appealing content that I took it as content. If the metrics support my take, you might consider offering your services as a consultant. I do wish more creators would adopt your rigor. I am convinced you understand how to integrate product advocacy with proprietary content in a way that the creators with whom I am familiar have not considered.

  2379. The USA is a representative democracy, constitutional republic, democratic republic, and republican democracy. All of those terms accurately describe what the United States have. This is in contrast to an authoritarian Republic (modern mainland China and the USSR), Republic without a constitution (ancient Roman Republic), direct democracy with a written Constitution (ancient Athens), and representative democracy with Constitutional monarchy (United Kingdom). The Founding Fathers wrote in the Federalist Papers that they disliked pure democracy (which they described as citizens directly making decisions, which is called direct democracy today) and they wanted impure democracy in the form of a republic (which they described as a system of voters electing leaders who make decisions, which is called a representative democracy today).
    6
  2380.  @chrischreative2245  After all, you are talking about one of the strongest economies and most stable democracies in the world as a mess just because democratic elections are held 6 months earlier? If that's your benchmark, then that's complaining at a very high level.

  2381. Hi Felitzia. Your channel is really my favorite out of all the ones I'm subscribed to. Your videos are getting me through all of this mess this year.

  2383. A lot of similarities between German and Polish customs. In Poland, you won’t have that much customer service unless you go to big cities, visit town squares loaded with foreign tourists like Krakow then expect a lot of friendly hospitality from waitresses. Doesn’t mean they will be in your face like in the US but its easy to get a table, flag down waiter for anything. Some similarities: -shops closed on Sunday except “market Sundays” that fall usually on first week of the month - contactless CC payment widespread but in smaller more remote towns it might be only cash -customer service abysmal especially in smaller more rural towns, especially in eastern part of the Poland - you have to pay to use public toilet Differences: -We use PLN (zloty) not Euro -we jaywalk except in areas where its physically impossible or too dangerous

  2384. ​ @michaelward7728  The channel admin can set filters themselves, but YT does filter on its own, too. It is always the same phenomenon: The comment disappears 1-2 minutes after posting. I tend to write long comments, those are likely to disappear. Happens on any channel with a lot of comments, and on channels where I know for a fact that they do not remove comments. Also, it happens at any time of day, so the admin would have to be online 24/7 to remove any comment within 2 minutes. That's unlikely. It's a known thing with YT, while YT itself has lots and lots of bugs, too. Ever noticed you click on "3 replies" under a comment, and no comment shows up at all? These bugs. I highly doubt that this is actively done by the channel admin here.

  2385. A lot of that sounds like the Roman "Saturnalia." Eating fish on Fridays is the reason McDonalds has, and keeps, the Filet o' Fish on the menu. What did you do with the tie after you cut it off? I have never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, your pronunciation sounded fine to me, but I have heard it is a big giant drunken mess. You looked and sounded so cute trying to say that word. I hope the festival there is a lot of fun for you. That is what America needs more holidays. thanks

  2386. Eine wunderschöne Zusammenfassung! I’m an American living in the Saarland, and I went to Oktoberfest in 2019 for opening day. It definitely was crowded, so your advice on going during the week is good advice to take!
    6
  2387. 20:32 I like your first reaction and the following words to "GUT & GÜNSTIG". Beste Grüße aus München! :)
    6
  2388. Maybe you should create them!

  2389. That same feeling about smoking came up on me when I returned after a longer stay in the US. I felt like being in eastern Europe when I entered Germany again.
    6
  2390. I felt lost in turkey. There in a little village where just a hole in the bottom. So I have to wait to come back to the hotel.
    6
  2391. I wish meat substitutes like impossible and beyond were comparable in price to the real thing, like they are in Germany, as you said. I think a lot more Americans would eat them if they weren’t so expensive. Thanks for the video. Excellent as always
    6
  2392. It does not even bother me, wenn ihr immer von Englisch zu Deutsch wechselt, ich merke das manchmal garnicht.
    6
  2393. Hallo Feli, as a half German/half American here and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you posting this video and doing the in-depth research and interviews that really bring this vid to life! So many Americans have no idea how German America actually is and that English is Anglisch [from the Anglo in Anglo-Saxons] and just how much Germans have contributed to both the U.S. and the world including the "English" they speak today - Vielen Danke!
    6
  2394. Well said. I wish predators didn't think of violent crime as just another way to make a living. I also wish you didn't have to couch it in so many caveats before expressing you feel unsafe in the US in ways you don't feel unsafe in Germany.
    6
  2395. Loving the channel. Keep up the good work!
    6
  2396. This might be my favorite video so far. I've been saying this forever. People -- learn about what engine oil is and what it does. A good engine is a fairly closed system (particularly in newer vehicles), and changing your oil every 5k miles is simply waste. I once drove a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix for 50k miles without an oil change. No issues, and the engine ran great. Note: changing your oil and changing your oil filter are two different things. My personal opinion is that this is a combination of greed/collusion and extreme redundancy/precaution in the US.
    6
  2397. Interesting views on life in the U.S. -- much appreciated. On the shopping bags, we have lately taken to bringing cloth bags to the store, and it's not a big deal once you get used to it. Public transportation in U.S. cities is definitely deficient when compared to German cities. I was in Berlin and Leipzig last summer, and we figured out the U-bahn and S-bahn system in less than a day and used it throughout our stay there. But I will say that the inter-city train system was less impressive. DB featured multiple delays and cancellations, and we ended up having to stand throughout an entire trip, even though we had paid for seats (our scheduled train was canceled and we had to crowd onto the next train). No place is perfect and, you know, I didn't care once I got in front of a schwarzbier!

  2398. My challenge for Ben is to make up his own zusammengesetztes Wort (compound word) in German.
    6
  2399. What a beautiful city! Thank you for the tour and congrats on your 100k followers
    6
  2400. I agree with you about beer. Beer isn't a boutique product, it is a mass product that is brewed quickly. Standard beer well made is the best beer.
    6
  2401. I found your channel a few days ago, and what can I say, you are like a ray of sunshine. Those big beautiful eyes, and that smile, your gorgeous, and sound so down to earth.
    6
  2402. “Wed nes day”… lol 😆 😂 😝

  2403. My husband is from Augsburg, & he was watching this with me & said that you did a good job with the research & explaining the differences.
    6
  2404. Something I never saw on German TV was ads about medicine like direct-to-consumer
    6
  2405. Felicia, between German and English (you're clearly fully fluent in both), do you find one language more expressive or nuanced than the other? Are there concepts or idioms in one language for which there are no matching versions in the other? Do you ever find it hard to express a thought or an idea in one language and think "this would be so much clearer if I could say it in the other language"? If you were to write a story or poem, which language would you find easier to use for that sort of artistic expression? #askagerman
    6
  2406. You should feature some German celebrities speaking English, such as Franke Potente
    6
  2407. I can tell you put so much time into scripting and researching for this video!! It’s very well done. We just moved to Germany in February with our 4 kids and one of our kids is in 4th klasse and another in 5th klasse. Our son in 4th klasse has had a very difficult workload without being able to speak German fluently. We had to hire a private tutor for him and I always think about other immigrants who might not have the money to do that and how much harder it must be for them. And it’s been quite a challenge to figure out which gymnasium for them to both attend. My husband speaks German pretty well so we were lucky he could call and talk and meet with the gymnasium counselors. Anyway, we totally agree with your perspective on the disadvantages of both systems. Americans need to put a lot less emphasis on college - so many get a useless degree and would be better off working. And the debt! College debt is ridiculous! Prices need to be lowered, Germany has a huge advantage with free college education. But yeah, the pressure in 4th klasse isn’t good. Yeah and school funding in the US should absolutely not be based on property taxes. It’s SO very unfair and wrong for poor districts. We did a whole video about our experience here in school and we had so SO many comments discussing the three choices and many Germans didn’t know that Bavaria (which is where we live) calls Hauptschule Mitteschule. They told us we were saying it wrong 😅. Nope!
    6
  2408. I came across your videos by accident and have thoroughly enjoyed your enthusiastic take on cultural and infrastructure differences. I've noticed that traveling to Canada, Bermuda, the UK and Iceland. I hope to travel to Germany and your videos have helped me better understand how NOT to stand out. Vive la differences! Keep up the great work, Feli.

  2409. The frosting culture is something I never got used to...missed my German baked goods during my year abroad!!

  2410. Wow, i love listening to your conversation in German.

  2411. Mach nochmal was mit NALF!

  2412. @felifromgermany Vielen Dank for sharing this video! I’m so honored you chose Chicago to do your piece on! This past year I’ve had the honor of representing as Steubenkönigin 2021-2022 for the United German American Societies of Greater Chicago. I was honored to have my own parade float this year and represent (and Wolfgang was actually in attendance when I sang the Deutsche Nationalhymne for our 100th Oktoberfest Opening night keg tapping!) I’m also a member of various German clubs throughout Chicago and I’m so proud of my German heritage! I’m a member of the Chicago Donauschwaben and I’m actually in the group picture you featured in your video! My mom is one of the Jugendleiterin! :)

  2413. A lot of rules native speakers don't even get: farther/further, discreet/discrete, fiance/fiancee, council/counsel, etc
    6
  2414. Regarding Röntgen: There is the verb "röntgen" (to X-ray) which has the past participle "geröntgt" (X-rayed). I very much like the consonant cluster "-ntgt" which is so complex that many say "geröncht" instead. Must be one of the most complex clusters in German language. 😆
    6
  2415. youtube started recommending your channel and ive been binging it ever since! i love it when foreigners love america because im so used to hearing everyone hates us and im like "aww damn, because i love your country" lol
    6
  2416. This was an amazing video! I didn’t know the US being an undeveloped country at this topic. The attitude of not having sex before marriage I thought to be an Amish thing!
    6
  2417. I enjoyed this video. I've known a few Germans in my life, one being my grandmother, and all of them talked with a German accent. It wasn't so strong that I couldn't understand what they said. Most likely that's because I had my grandmother around since I was born. I live in an apartment and I've had neighbors who were from the New England states like New Hampshire and I've had neighbors from the south, Alabama. I've never had trouble understanding them. Sometimes people will leave off the letter G in words that end with ING. I think that happens more in the south. Sometimes I catch myself doing it. One thing I always thought funny was that my cousin lived in Ohio for the first few years of his life. My aunt and uncle lived there for years and my aunt's family is actually from Ohio. When my cousin was around 6 they moved to the southern part of Virginia not too far from the North Carolina boarder. As my cousin got older he started to have a slight southern accent.

  2418. Kann Ben überhaupt schlechte Laune haben. Er wirkt immer so sunny open minded. 😊 Thank you for this video.

  2419. Once you've crossed the Atlantic once, you're always on the wrong side.... I spent a couple of years in Finland, and I had this same or similar conversation with everyone back then. The healthcare system is something I miss. We have great healthcare in the US but the financial system around it is a total nightmare.
    6
  2420. Such a complicated process Felicia but its worth it and your here legally and your welcome here. Thank you for explaining the process
    6
  2421. Love the beer mug merch. Most youtube sites, it's the old joke "Been there, saw that, got the T-Shirt" A beer mug, approved by "German girl in America", would be something truly unique - just like you.
    6
  2422. Congratulations

  2423. Content worth paying for!🤣
    6
  2424. Stop with the stereotyping.
    6
  2425. I've subbed your channel for years and usually I watch your videos because they are fun and you are exceptionally pretty. But every now and then you put up a video of this caliber and it reminds just how smart, intelligent and articulate you are at explaining complex topics to people who may not understand the big picture. And it's compelling. Well done Feli! All proper respect. You're awesome. ❤
    6
  2426. Okay here it is! Nice video. Been to most of these places as well, but love Shenandoah NP. I feel it is underrated as a park. i stayed at the park in a little cabin out in the woods which was beautiful.
    6
  2427. I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning when I was planning a trip to Germany for my fathers 50th bday and I just love how much this channel has grown and what you’re doing with this trip. I unfortunately won’t be able to make this but you freaking rock Feli!!!!!!
    6
  2428. "Why do my eyes look so crazy here?" Because two weeks ago we were all like "oh neat a gen z perspective on America from someone who grew up in Munich" and now you're famous.
    6
  2429. So I'm Scottish but this video is interesting. Your kindergarten is the same in Scotland except we call it Nursery. We also use most of these words in Scotland.
    6
  2430. Feli, really appreciate the history style presentation.
    6
  2431. Ich bin regelrecht schockiert. Also positiv schockiert. Und auch absolut fasziniert. Respekt an euch beide für euer Sprachtalent ☺️
    6
  2432.  @FelifromGermany  Sure, but as you likely know, many commenters don't actually watch (or pay attention to) the videos they comment in. This was more for them than it was a critique of your video. *Edit: love the channel, BTW 👍
    6
  2433. Hey Felicia I’m so surprise that you’re german! You sound like native English speaker! Yo, I thought you are an American first, keep showing us your incredible videos, stay safe good girl!!

  2446. 🥲 Fantastic content! Thank you so much for sharing your travel experiences. You and Ben are awesome. Your cats will miss you terribly I am sure. Super cool about the upgrades! That is the best way to travel. If you can afford it. Have a great time! Ciao.
    5
  2447. FELI!!! So glad you posted this video! Please bring as many of your friends as will join you! I grew up in Virginia and prior to moving to Arizona (you have to come visit here too!) spent many wonderful days in the Appalachians and even visited that very store you show in Ft. Valley. Great to see things from another point of view, hope Veronica had a great trip too!

  2455. In the US, there is a real emphasis on moving people along in restaurants. Get the order, get the food, get the check. If you stay at your table chatting without ordering more food or drinks, you are keeping them from making money from the next group to come in. In some places, they encourage a slower pace, but this seems to be the exception.

  2456.  @FelifromGermany  I am a long-time fan of your content but I am also a recovering heroin addict. I've been sober for over 11 years and spend a lot of my free time helping combat the drug epidemic in my community. Thank you for covering this incredibly important topic.

  2457. Wow. Never thought about a ton of these examples! Glad English is my first language... thanks for the great video Feli!

  2460. I once confused the Speisekarte (menu) for the Menü (food special/set meal). Cue an embarrassing explanation to the waitress later, and I've never made that mistake again xD

  2461. Maybe I missed something in my Germany trips but there are only two reasons I wouldn't live in Germany: 1 No good Mexican food 2 Haven't been able to find quality hot sauce. Other than that, Germany is pretty awesome. For some context on the weather and A/C. Briggs is from southern California so anything below 70 degrees is freezing for us. He has mentioned a lot on his videos that he hates the heat and always needs the temp to be on the cooler side. He loves his A/C. Probably the reason he moved from SoCal to Portland Oregon. I normally like his videos but he was off on this one. To be fair, trying to do a top ten reasons to not live in Germany is an impossible task. Germany is my second favorite country to visit only behind Mexico. If I had to move to another country, Germany would be my top choice and it isn't even close.

  2467. Wow, you guys seem so good together. I'm happy for both of you and jealous of what you have together.

  2468. Very enlightening. The hotdogs in a jar was a surprise. Hotdogs go really good with SauerKraut. The pastries and candy all looked good as well.

  2470. I think Ben is doing everything right. Repetition is key, so focusing on learning a few times a day for like 20 minutes or so will help a lot. I am currently doing the same with italien. As a challenge he might sing a long a German song. As far as I know he likes that kind of music.
    5
  2471. You both are two very refreshing people who can easily transfer their joy of life to us. It gives me and certainly all the other Follower, much joy to see you here on your channel. * Ihr beide sein zwei sehr erfrischende Menschen, die ihre Lebensfreude auf uns sehr einfach übertragen kann.

  2472. Thank you so much for all you have shared with us. I lived in McGraw Kaserne, Garmisch, Berchesgarten, and Chiemsee from 70-73. Became a DOD teacher and spent 79-83 in Stuttgart. Still married to the taxie driver I met at the Messe in Cologne in 2004. Strangest German law I've heard is needing a license (Platzreife) to play golf in Germany. Insurance is not required.

  2477. I never knew about the German tradition of afternoon kaffee and kuchen until we visited there. After driving all day it was a wonderful way to take a break. Most pastry shops there also sell a carafe of strong German coffee along with indoor and outdoor seating.

  2478. I don't think they're a couple. They continuously call themselves 'friends', and I also don't think they look like they're in love at all. They're just very good friends.

  2484. Well the title of this video shows that many people had questions about him, and they're answering those questions. Calm down. 😁
    5
  2485. I could see why you did this video, to fact check him and I praise you for that. Some people like talking out their a-hole like this guy. At least you point out what he’s right on 🇩🇪+🇺🇸=❤️
    5
  2486. Feli, I'm happy that you and Ben are going to Oktoberfest in Munich this year. I'm not sure of your schedule, but there are a couple of German festivals that are a lot closer to your adopted hometown. The Toledo German American Festival is this weekend, August 26-28. And the Columbus Oktoberfest is September 9-11. If you're free, grab your man, and your drinking shoes and maybe we'll run into you. The first beer is on me!! Prost!!
    5
  2487. I can't speak for other countries either, but here in Austria my experiences are exactly what Feli described. Those who had longer realtionships usually stayed at each other's places regularly. Obviously you would not bring a a one night stand to your parents place though....

  2490. Watching this episode right now. Keep up the great work, your videos are always very entertaining and informative. I'm Dutch myself so many aspects of German day-to-day life are not completely unknown to me. :) At 1:37 in the video, "mini brownies", they have Dutch text on the package :) Grüße von deinen Nachbarn im Westen!
    5
  2491. Hi 😊 I totally get what you mean Felicia! I'm from Australia and unfortunately our bakeries here aren't so good. After experiencing the delicious pastries and bread in Germany and France-nothing will ever be the same again haha 😂 I adore crispy pastries and crunchy bread. I absolutely loved Rischart in München! And Backwerk in Nuremberg 🇩🇪 I don't know how you're coping without them haha!
    5
  2492. The only reason I've seen the sound of music as an austrian is because my music teacher made us watch it when I was in high school. It was an okay movie but I'm not too much of a fan.
    5
  2493. Another great entertaining video. Hilarious 😂
    5
  2494. I love your enthusiasm Felicia. As someone who was born here, I think sometimes I take it for granted, and you bring a fresh take on things, being from another country but now an American.
    5
  2495. American dude living in Munich. I work at an entrepreneurship center in Munich and can completely confirm everything said about entrepreneurship. In general, I see that young german entrepreneurs fear failure more than most Americans. When supporting young entrepreneurs I tend frame the next step as an experiment. This way if the next step "fails" it's ok, because it was only an experiment. Anyway, thanks for the great content. I find your videos to be spot on. Vielen dank für alles.
    5
  2496. I loved this lesson, but, given the way people sneer at me when I correctly pronounce croissant (As in, not kroy SAHNT, or even kruh SAHNT), I may hesitate to—oh, who am I kidding? It may be the most German I ever learn, but I can’t WAIT to be correct!
    5
  2497. I live in Santa Barbara where just about every home or condo costs over a million dollars. We also have a high proportion of renters compared to most of "middle America", and very, very few people in their 20s own their homes. It's a cost thing.
    5
  2498. I think this is the most I’ve ever related to any video here on YouTube.😂👍🏻 It’s been over 2 years since I returned to Germany and I am still overly polite when passing someone in a store here. I just can’t help it.

  2499. Very well done. A part 2 would be great.

  2501. Hallo Feli. When I lived in Germany, in Trier, my ex wife and I always went to Aldi. I particularly miss the coffee cakes that we would buy there. Sadly they never have them here in US. My wife now and I go to Aldi at least once a week to get food. I get my coffee there, bread and canned goods. I so wish they had the coffee cakes I used to buy. So lecker!

  2502. This is one of my favorite videos that you've ever done.

  2503. Der Anfang lol.

  2504. Great video and I had to pause at every single tongue twister to see how well I do myself before listening to you guys trying 🤣. It’s kinda addicting!
    5
  2505. The vlog style videos are a welcome part of your channel. I would never consider going to Bonnaroo, but at least now I know what it looks like.
    5
  2506. You can make any language sound lovely! Love your channel. Look forward to all your content.😊

  2507. Felicia, I can only say how much I appreciate you as a foreigner in my country. You are awesome, love. Well done to you and all you represent. May God bless your in your endeavors here and forward.

  2508. Awwwwwwww mannnn... I honestly thought you were gonna announce you two had gotten engaged! I was SO ready to give a very heart-felt Mazal Tov. 😕 Well... still a Mazal Tov on the podcast. 🙂
    5
  2509. I love the education, and engaging humor. Your, hard work is appreciated .
    5
  2510. Hope that this is the first part of a long-going series. Extremely well made and pretty informative!
    5
  2511. Thought I would like this channel but then you said you liked Wolfsburg instead of Dortmund! I’m kidding. This is a really intriguing channel. Hope to see more!

  2512. The younger generation also very often use the Yiddish words "Zocken(zchoken), Mies(Mis), Knast(Knas), Kaff(Kefar)". There are many more Yiddish words that we Germans use in everyday life but not every word has the same meaning. This is really interesting for me because I use these words every day and I didn't even know before that they are not German words although they sound German.
    5
  2513. So happy for you guys to get to go to Oktoberfest this year! I will represent you at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati with a Servus shirt!

  2514. About accents and specifically dialects, my Oma from Kaiserslautern had a friend who grew up in East Berlin- after saying hi and pleasantries in German - they’d switch to English because the dialects are as different.
    5
  2515. I've never cought a video of yours so early. Congrats
    5
  2516. What I would add: a '3-Zimmer-Wohnung' does not mean that you have three bedrooms. Each room (Zimmer) is counted, hence a 3 room apartment in Germany means that you have a living room, a main bedroom, and another room to be used as children's bedroom or office.
    5
  2517. Relaxing is a very serious thing to us
    5
  2518. Your cat looks like my cat! I wouldn’t ever declaw (my veterinarian would refuse). It’s like cutting off part of the fingers. I keep my cat inside because coyotes will eat them and I live in suburban Indianapolis
    5
  2519. Sehr gut video!
    5
  2520. As a fellow Munich native I really enjoyed the video and am very thankful, that you didn't mention the other subway station, that most locals use. 😉 But I think you should also have talked about the ugly sides. Apart from having a fixed meeting point, everyone, but especially girls and women should know, that there will be a big balloon in the air with a red cross below that you can find medical aid, but also the main police station and a special center for sexual violence or if you feel threatened. Unfortunately,with this many (drunk) people, you will also have a lot of crime. This starts with pocket theft, a lot of fights and assaults, both unarmed or with beer glasses and goes all the way to sexual assaults and rape. For the guys: if somebody is aggressive towards you, insults you, or challenges you to a fight: retreat! Go to a security guard, or police officer and tell them about it. They will quickly take care of the troublemaker. Do not get into a fight,, because believe me, the last thing you want is to get smacked over the head with a Masskrug. This can even be fatal. For the women: always go with atleast one friend. Unfortunately, there will be men using the anonymity of the crowd to touch you. But most importantly, don't wander off alone and fall asleep somewhere. The situation got a bit better in recent years, through the introduction of new safety measures, but there unfortunately are still a lot of sexual assaults and rapes going on, so please take care of your self.

  2522. What distinguishes a republic is the lack of a monarch, not a lack of democracy. The UK for example is a monarchy and a democracy, but not a republic. And right now the electoral college serves to secure that only voters in a handfull of states are getting any attention from candidates. It's the same thing you're afraid of, it's just different regions that are screwed. Also smaller (concerning population) and rural states already have a safeguard against being totally overruled: They get two senators each. By the way: A lot of democracies have high urbanisation and still parties can't and won't just ignore rural voters.
    5
  2523. Am I the only one who has noticed, Feli is turning into a pretty good actress? Her intros are getting to be as entertaining as her observations & contrasts.
    5
  2524. Never am I ever going to use any of that, still, fascinating none the less.
    5
  2525. I gotta say you make some of my favorite content keep up the good work!
    5
  2526.  @RavenDarkCreepcreepypasta  Dann komm auf deine Probleme klar und schnauz sie nicht dafür an, dass sie eine !deutsche! Großstadt als deutsch bezeichnet. Selbst die Bayern meinen ihre Abneigung gegenüber Restdeutschland mehr als Running Gag als dass es ernst ist, also komm mal bisschen runter lol
    5
  2527. I would say the best translation of “partnerlook” is “to match someone” i.e. matching outfits. Love your channel! Thanks for what you do!
    5
  2528. Awesome. i already purchased my tickets to germany to enjoy oktoberfest and explore germany. would enjoy having a beer or more with you guys
    5
  2529. I'm making this comment with great angst. I know it sounds kind of silly but I just chuckled throughout your entire spiel about the word weiner. Lol. It shouldn't be such a funny word unless your in like kindergarten or something. Hopefully after reading this our friendship won't be kaputt. I wouldn't want to make you angry enough to hit me with a stool or throw me down in the schmutz either. I have to go now. I hear noises. I hope that it isn't a poltergeist. Haha. Love you videos Feli. Your always so cute and funny!
    5
  2530. Things that don't (really) exist in Germany: LUCKY CHARMS! I know they're not the healthiest breakfast option, but I miss them dearly. You can order the occasional box for lots of euros online, but I really wish they were a staple here like most of the Kellogg's cereals.
    5
  2531. Thank you so much for doing and posting this video. I love the amount of research you do for every video you post. 😊😊😊
    5
  2532. As an American, I think the week starts on Monday. Sunday is for spirituality. So much about America makes no sense, I agree. Everything else in this video is also so interesting. You are such a beautiful and lovely young woman! Thank you for this and all your other wonderful videos! ❤️
    5
  2533. Coming here from NALF´s channel. I am a German (from Bavaria) who has lived in the States for 11 years. I pretty much agree with everything you and Nick said. Very well done. Love from Germany.
    5
  2534.  @FelifromGermany  NO right in a constitutional democracy is unlimited. Prisoners have their right to freedom of movement limited. You cannot carry a gun onto a plane. You cannot drive into a restricted military area etc. There are always justifiable limitations.
    5
  2535. This was actually a very interesting and quite enjoyable!
    5
  2536. Lol I just saw this on Instagram and then I got the notification 🤣
    5
  2537. I just watched "Into the Woods" today. They kept it pretty close to the Grimm's version.
    5
  2538. Servus aus Minga. ;-) “Hell” hat noch eine Bedeutung: Die Unterbühne im Theater. “Go to hell” ist im Theater auch nicht unbedingt negativ gemeint.
    5
  2539. I just finished getting a grasp on portugese and now I have to learn german, thanks Feli XD
    5
  2540. the first thing I look at is a persons eyes! I never heard of anyone looking at one's jaw line! lol
    5
  2541. Congrats of 50K. I see you're already almost to 52K. Your channel is growing like crazy. The beer mug sounds cool, I would definitely consider buying that.
    5
  2542. Just sort of stumbled on your channel. I have a “thing” about pronouncing things correctly so I watched your video on names of products. I thought I would watch this one to see if I buy any “actual” German products and see if I’m butchering the names. I haven’t seen zweiback since my children were very small. Where I live you give, at least when my children were small, children zweiback when they’re teething. The dry toast sort of rubs their gums. Also some kids have digestive issues when they’re teething. As far as the pain I think Baby Ora-gel sort of replaced zweiback toast. Weird the things you remember.
    5
  2543. Thanks!
    5
  2544. I would pay all kinds of money just to hear you talk, you have the perfect voice to narrate stuff
    5
  2545. Great timing for this video! Flying into Munich in 108 days (but who's counting 😂) and have added the breweries to the itinerary!
    5
  2546. Thanks a lot to you (and, I guess, also to Ben). That's likely been the best video I ever saw of you. Great content and plot. Very fascinating. Loved it. Danke :)
    5
  2547. I used to pronounce “Miéle” as if it was in French haha
    5
  2548. Been learning deutsch since July and I would recommend it to everyone else!
    5
  2549. Love your videos, but also love the comments by your viewer. Unlike so many other channels , your viewers do not want to get snarky. Your answers, too, are fun to read. It is simply great entertainment and the best of the YouTube possibilities. You will soon have many more subscribers!
    5
  2550. I was surprised when you were saying servus, and tschüss. I really thought that was local to Austria only. I mean SERVUS is written on the bottom of some Austrian Air planes :) But I guess it makes sense that Bavaria is right next to Austria that they'd share some common phrases. My HQ is near Vienna so I've been a few times and REALLY want to learn German. I quickly found out that some of the phrases I knew were not at all used in Vienna :) So yes, it would be great if you had a video about dialects. Ciao servus pfiat di!
    5
  2551. It is even more complicated with these pepperonies! In the German speaking part of Switzerland „Pepperoni“ means exactly the same as in Italy and not as in Germany. 😊 Obviously this is the influence of the Italians and Ticinesi in Switzerland.
    5
  2552. Shoah is amazing and mind blowing. I concur with your recommendation. I knew what you were going to mention before you even named it. It's the definitive documentary on the subject.
    5
  2553. As an American who owns his own home, I find the experience extremely overrated. Wish I'd never been talked/bullied into it. Germany wins again! Thanks for another great video, Feli! :-) I love the research and professionalism you put into everything!
    5
  2554.  @Chris_oak80  kids in Germany also do all these things exept for the driving which isnt as necessary because they can go everywhere Independently by public transportation
    5
  2555. Hi Feli, I am watching your videos for a long time, München vs US, often Europe vs US. But this video exceeds all of that substantially. This is main frame economics, deep research and aided by specialists... It is like you had a team working on an explanation and you did the vocals. But I think there were no specialists, no working team. Just you. And that's the big compliment. Great. Well done. And when I ever met you I will start to sing: Du, du allein kanst mich verstehen.. Du, du darfst niehmehr von mir gehen... Frans aus die Niederlände.
    5
  2556. This was great. Both informative and interesting. I live in Hessen and our kids went to 3 different private schools. They usually cost 1-4 grade 350€, 5-7 450€ and 8-10 550€. For every school we had to give info about our income so I am pretty sure the costs vary according to that as well.
    5
  2557. Wonderful video, no-one could have explained our holiday traditions better! However, church and state are basically separated by constitution. That's a very, very complex topic though...
    5
  2558. Wenn man den Kaplan einfach direkt mit René Mariks Stimme im Ohr und den Froschn vor Augen hat :'D
    5
  2559. As a Korean language student from way back, as I recall within the first 90 days, as Feli suggested, in German, Ben should be able not only to count to 100, but all the days of the week, and all the months of the year...
    5
  2560. There is nothing like being scratched with love by your cat 💜 Seriously, my cat has no sense of keeping his claws in when on my lap or arm, but I still would never think of declawing him. Also: in a fight with my other cat he lost a claw (like, completely) and it bled like hell. Showed me first hand that declawing is horrible.
    5
  2561. When I lived in Cincinnati I heard my neighbor beating her child with a belt (the walls were thin in my walk-in closet). I called the police and was told that she has “the right to choose how to discipline her child.” As an elementary education major at Xavier, I was horrified. I will never forget it, as the thought still bothers me 20 years later.
    5
  2562. ich liebe ja amerikanisches eis besonders ben and jerrys :p aber es geht halt auch nix über eine schöne kugel (wasser)melonen eis im sommer bei uns ^.^

  2563. Thanks!
    5
  2564. i'm from rural Bavaria and we still do the "Maibaum stehlen" (may pole stealing), it's amazing :D
    5
  2565. The answer about German customer service made me laugh out loud. This is my least favorite thing about Germany as well. I also cannot get use to how inattentive the staff is in a restaurant. This is a huge difference.
    5
  2566. Make that "three" different coasts - east coast, west coast, and Gulf coast!! By the way, I LOVE your videos!!
    5
  2567. A German Stammtisch! One of my favorite restaurants here in NYC is Zum Stammtisch!
    5
  2568. Thanks! Have fun, guys!
    5
  2569. Hi, Feli: another excellent video. I hope to hear from/about you for a long time to come. Maybe you're the sweetest, most charming person on YouTube?
    5
  2570. Ohh the chicken dance was a staple of school discos in the 80’s/90’s in the UK
    5
  2571. Really liked the video❤️ it's fun to hear different cultural stories.
    5
  2572. Very few Americans in my experience have a good British accent. Meryl Streep, Ed Norton, Johnny Depp. It's a short list, and most are pretty bad. Whereas countless Brits have an amazing American accent. Juno Temple, Cumberbatch, Taylor-Joy, Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and so many more.
    5
  2573. I am so thankful for air conditioning, the temps in a office setting can get too cold but hey at least it isn't 95 degrees in a office/building. It seems that more and more Americans are biking to work or a store to get something, I think more companies should have a 1 hour lunch for their employees, nice video😀
    5
  2574. Lol im watching this vid from Germany now at 3:30 am 😂😂 What time you have in America now 🤔
    5
  2575. I'm with you on the beer. I thought I knew good beer, and then I went to Germany, where the quality and variety are just unparalleled. I also like wheat beers and a good pilsener in spring and summer, and a good stout, amber ale or schwartzbier in the winter. What I don't understand is the overwhelming U.S. fascination for IPAs, which to me taste like they were brewed in a bicycle tire inner tube -- just way too hoppy. In fact, a lot of IPAs taste like they are already skunked. I would rather have a gose or Berliner weisse (at least in the summer). And hey, Budweiser was the first beer I ever drank -- and you never forget your first.
    5
  2576. Made my Christmas hell of a lot better My best wishes to you n your loved ones Frohe Weihnachten
    5
  2577. I was worried I wouldn’t be interested in this video for the entire over 30 minutes, but it was just fascinating. Thanks for the info.
    5
  2578. My favorite German saying translated word for word into English is: You go me animally on the cookie! 😅 I know when I lived in the US and I talked to my family, I would definitely mix some English words into stories I was telling, because they happened in English, so, I'm thinking that's normal...
    5
  2579. OK I admit that I’m a bit disappointed… …because it’s not Josh. But Ben must be the right person, proven by the absolutely beautiful story with Ernest. And the cats know that all us good. 😊👍

  2580. 2:39 WARTE WAS? Das ist meine Heimatstadt wtf :D bin zufällig auf den Kanal und das Video gestoßen ^^ was ist das für ein Zufall??
    5
  2581. That was well said.
    5
  2582. I enjoyed you video very much. Wunderkind = prodigy. In a comment to an earlier video I asked you a trivia question, "Who is Vincent Keymer? Hint, he is a young German." He is a prodigy, a wunderkind. In what field is he a wunderkind? Chess Grandmaster.
    5
  2583. Wonderful!! Thank you for reading this and sharing. Merry Christmas

  2588. Yes vote for umlaut pronunciations!

  2589. Aldi and Lidl are fantastic, especially the magic aisle of weird stuff at Aldi
    5
  2590. You are amazing at promoting products! They are lucky to have you!
    5
  2591. Whatsapp is encrypted, even calls. Easier to send images and larger videos , voice messages, create groups and foward content. There's no point using text messages.
    5
  2592. Good friends. Good times. That makes for a Great Life!!! Outstanding presentation. Oh, yeah, . . adorably pretty friend! Perfect "Wing Man!"
    5
  2593. I'm trying to learn German and English and this video is so useful ❤thanks
    5
  2594. That’s cool. Thanks for sharing pronouncing the German brands. I didn’t know how to pronounce the car brands you shared.
    5
  2595. Always a pleasure to watch your channel, Felicia. Well done,You! Be well. Be. Safe.
    5
  2596. I definitely would love a video about pronouncing ü!
    5
  2597. Congratulations Felicia! Only 2 months later and you’ve already got 42k more subscribers! 🍾👏 We appreciate your honestly and upbeat approach to your videos. Well done. ❤️
    5
  2598. 😂😂😂👍 That was great !! , I like them all but Sitzpinkler was my favorite . Keep up the great work Feli and stay safe .
    5
  2599. Thank you Feli. Astounding that so many here need to be taught basic civics by someone from another country. It’s sad. But you do an excellent job explaining things, so thank you.
    5
  2600. It sounds like Germany teaches more about their dark past than we Americans are taught about the atrocities of our own slave trade history. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
    5
  2601. You should also speak to him alot in German. That should help him learn quicker as well.
    5
  2602. Oh yes, please! More of those! I really like your videos! About honesty and politeness: I grew up in Franconia and I'm living in Switzerland for about 25 years. The swiss are very polite they also sugarcoat their opinions for not to hurt the other's feelings. But sometimes I miss the German directness.
    5
  2603. I loved your reaction on her tasting 💖 I am the Sabin’e’ who send the snacks to her 😅 🥰🥰 Thanks for agreeing with me on the Daim and the Schoko-Bons 😂 I sent her how Lebkuchen is pronounced but she didn’t read that part 😬😅😂🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for the amazing reactions - I had pretty much the same feelings watching her video 😁😅🥰🥰 Greetings Sabine 💖
    5
  2604. Ahh you HAVE to do this next year! Apr 15 is a little too soon for me to book but if you do another trip next year I’ll definitely go! Germany has always been in my travel bucket list! 🇩🇪💜
    5
  2605. The Germans in the most northern states (i.e. those that have coastlines on the North or the Baltic Sea) pronounce the "s" in "st" and "sp" without a "sh" sound. That makes it easy to recognize a "Nordlicht", that is, a Northerner, by listening to the way they say words that start with an st. or an sp-.
    5
  2606. Shenandoah is extremely beautiful. Skyline Drive is something to be experienced at least once. I haven't driven through it in the fall, but it must be amazing with the leaves changing colors. That entire area is so peaceful. Being away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, it's almost like time slows down.
    5
  2607. I'd like to throw in some more extreme "crispy" culture here: I'm german and my boyfriend is from Iran and when we eat breadrolls in the typical german style (crunchy outside, soft inside) he usually takes out the soft part and hands it over to me as in his opinion that part is not baked enough! Or he cuts the breadroll open and puts it on the toaster, to crisp up the soft part...I guess that's as he is used to iranian bread which is just a very flat layer of dough and always fully baked. I should keep this episode about american bread in mind though in case we ever go to the US^^
    5
  2608. Felicia: Uploads a new video Me because I'm seeing more of her: Heart eyes This comment is on this video for a very specific reason. Also over 50k now. These past couple of weeks sure has seen your number of subs utterly skyrocketing!
    5
  2609. I really enjoyed this one! It is great to hear how the names of German celebrities as well as Austrian ones are pronounced in the original language. I definitely would love to see a video about how to pronounce the vowels with umlauts over them. When I have traveled around Germany and Austria, I tend to struggle at times with trying to pronounce those particular letters correctly.
    5
  2610. I just watched the first 10 minutes with the crime rates and the graffiti and I obviously don't live in germany since I didn't notice any of these problems, when walking home totally alone and unharmed by night in a crowded city and a lot of beautiful Buildings without graffiti on them. What land is he talking about? Still I don't see any point. The US have a 5 times higher murder rate than germany soo.. It's rather a reason to move TO germany, if you live in the US.. not? (Source: https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/murder-rate-by-country/) This is obviously a really crappy take on germans
    5
  2611. Congratulations on 60K subscribers! I love how one of the questions was about if you have visited Frankenmuth, Michigan! I go there at least twice a year as it is a short drive from me. I've filmed a lot of videos there, and I always find something new and exciting there even if it is a restaurant I haven't been to before. I hope you and your friends are able to head up there later this year as a video of your reaction to Frankenmuth would be fun to watch! I loved the incorporation of some German in the latter part of the video!
    5
  2612. This was a neat video. I remember talking with a German girl once and she said she was going back in "Awe-jest", which I assumed was a German pronunciation of August. I thought that was neat. I never thought of different sounds of letters in different languages like that before. I had trouble with "w" and "v" when I finally took a German class. Who knew "through" was a tricky word? Also, if all German women look like you, I'm moving there immediately, right now. Coronavirus is worth it. You are fantastically pretty!
    5
  2613. Greetings from Ukraine.Thank you for this great lesson.
    5
  2614. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years almost to the day since I was in Cincinnati starting my exchange. Your video definitely made me miss OTR.
    5
  2615. YESSSSSSSSS I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WHEN THIS WASN'T CHOSEN BUT NOW IT IS I CAN'T WAIT
    5
  2616. I would say, the bags are recyclable. Also, most trash is separated by machines. But in Germany there are separate bins for different types of glass, paper, and metal.
    5
  2617. I think you do pretty much nail the stereotypes. I had similar experiences going to college in the States a while back. What I found most bizzare was the absence of seals on the doors. Most inside doors even had a noticeable gap between door and wall, which would make them about zero sound proof.
    5
  2618. Sehr spannende challenge 😁 Hau rein, Ben!
    5
  2619. I agree 100% with how well you entertain and how infectious your smile is Felicia !! Love your channel You are adorable and hope you get well very soon !!!
    5
  2620. Pretty ladies enjoying the USA.. fabulous!! Love your videos
    5
  2621. Very nicely done, Feli... Thumbs Up! I can't think of any that you've missed... and your guests were a great addition (subbed 'em already). Of course, Ben's always a pleasant 'plus add.' A tiny, tiny quibble: your book author source misspelled Pittsburgh's 'yinz' as 'yins.' Ben is correct: many Pittsburghers do proudly self-describe as 'Yinzers.'
    5
  2622. What I want out of this channel is for you to keep being yourself and keep doing what you like to do. You're enough. I think Patreon is a great idea and I would absolutely support you. As for merch, I would be proud to rock your sticker on my guitar case. Congratulations. I have a feeling this is only the beginning for you.

  2623. I'm culture shocked.. So many things I see are so normal in the Netherlands and never even realized they were German.. Like Maggi for example, we Dutch use it to give soup a little more salty taste but also as a means to make broth (Maggi cubes). Katjes are NOT German, it's a Dutch brand! (I love liquorish, aka 'drop'). Milka is Swiss, the royal family of chocolaty goodness apart from Belgian chocolate. Also, where is the red capped (scharf) Hela Curry Gewürz? 'Zilber Zwiebeln' (Zilveruitjes) are smaller and white. 'Amsterdam Onions' which are bigger, yellow, sweet-sour pickled onions. The silver onions we use in cold dishes like beef salad (Rindfleischsalat), Amsterdam Onions (yellow colored by Saffran) are bigger and much like 'süße Gurken'; more sweet than sour. Zwieback is what we Dutch refer to as 'beschuit', as far as I know the German term means 'double baked'. It's the thing you did with stale bread to not let it go to waste in the 'old' days but just toast it to eat with 'Fruchtmarmelade' or any other moisture rich 'Belag' (topping) to keep it from sticking to your esophagus. Lastly: HARIBO macht Kinder froh und Erwachsene ebenso, the phrase I grew up with whilst gobbling up gummy bears (Gummibären)

  2624. I wish I could this year - but if you are going in 2025 I'm in!!!!

  2625. Awesome video

  2626.  @eyalter8992  I did not just mean the Lederhosen, also learning German etc. And last time I checked Bavaria was still part of Germany.

  2627. You should make a video of your impressions of the differences in regional areas of America. The South, The Rockies, The Midwest, New England, Texas, The SunBelt, Southern vs Northern California, etc.
    5
  2628. I love your videos! You have such a refreshing way of discussing controversial and often misunderstood topics. You're videos should be a must view for everyone crossing the atlantic ocean for the first time. I come from beautiful Switzerland and people here tend to totally misjudge americans. They think Americans are very superficial and don't care a lot about other people, which in my opinion is completely wrong and just based on misunderstandings. It's mostly based on the huge differences in the way American ans Swiss people communicate. I made a lot of good friends in the US, and I always love to visit. I think you videos really help people to understand how Americans think and behave and you are contributing a lot to cultural understanding, which I think is a beautiful thing. I wish I had such a nice accent and vocabulary in english myself. Also witer so und merci viel mol :-)

  2629. Most German players names are pronounced correctly here in Wales, probably due to our fun way of spelling and pronouncing things 😎

  2630. It’s funny your video just uploaded.. I just watched a concert version of 99 red balloons by Nena in German… (great song)

  2631. I had German roommate in Italy and she was using labor meaning lab or laboratory, and I told her that it actually means human working power :D

  2632. I got my Lederhosen from the Black Forest a few years back. I love them and can’t wait to wear them to my local Oktoberfest this year! I also want to thank you, Feli, for my my own personalized beer mug! Since my name is Brad, I can’t help but wonder if the picture of the personalized mug in this video and in the shop is mine!

  2633. Thank you for making this video! I now know the correct way to pronounce my last name! Sincerely, - David Schweighofer

  2634. You're so sweet! I imagine you're overwhelmed by the positive return on your kind video... Americans also tend to get bashed a lot for so many things (and I KNOW you know what that's like as a German - I've seen it in the commentary :( ). Sometimes, it's nice ...no, amazing and uplifting - to have someone appreciate you once in a while! :) Well, I have to tell you, I absolutely love German engineering.I owned was a BMW 323 (BMWs are AMAZING. Favorite car brand, hands down.) Had so many cool tricks and features, I was finding things out new things about that car for years. :) Love hearing about other cultures (I think you mentioned that as a positive thing about Americans as well...heh!) - so, you nailed that one. LOL - But keep up the great work! Count me as another recent (last few months) fan who's binge watched. :) Also, consider getting a patreon. I'd donate. :)

  2635. Amazing vlog well done 😊😊❤️❤️👍👍

  2636. "Pleasant and entertaining", which is how I always react to your videos. Like to mention that these ultra-long words don't really exist in everyday conversations and I doubt, that any "real" people would consider to use them. If I had to, I would definitely split them up into their components to make them more "readable".
    5
  2637. It's funny how while you're reacting to celebrities German, I'm amazed by your English :) English is not my first language and I wish I spoke like you!
    5
  2638. crazy how so many of those words have a false friend in italian which bears both the german and the english meaning!
    5
  2639. I don't even have those social media accounts and I still saw that clip lol. And today, the long-awaited Feli explainer haha. Love it!

  2640. Cool earrings!!

  2641. I was channel-surfing on the radio this morning and discovered Cincinnati has a station that plays German music on Saturday mornings. It was kind of interesting and relaxing to listen to!

  2644. I always enjoy your videos. I'm glad you went places other than NY City. That city is a major hub of activity but it is not like the rest of the USA. The same with LA. The US had better public transit prior to the 1950s but then the Oil and auto industry bought up all the "right of ways" used by trolleys and trains. Then got rid of the train and trolley cars. If we want to add more public transportation, other than buses, the city or town would have to buy up a lot of land and move a lot of people to create the lines. Another issue with trains across the US is that it is just huge and vary diverse landscape. A lot of mountains to tunnel through, swamps and rivers to cross. I agree the US needs to do better with recycling. Many places do. Where I live we always recycled plastics, paper, glass, metal, and cardboard. One day we will actually reuse items instead of melting them down to re-craft.
    5
  2645. This is easily my favourite of your many excellent videos. I laughed out loud throughout! One minor point that I think you got wrong: It is English SPELLING in particular that is weird and inconsistent, much less its pronunciation. 🍌👍😂

  2646. Crazy amounts of Halbwissen in the comments.
    5
  2647. American homes have foyers. They are usually tiled and with a coat closet. That said, they are much smaller than the one you showed for the German home, with maybe enough space for one to two people at most. Also, most homes in Japan, South Korea, and China don't have closets or central A/C either. The owner has to buy wardrobes. That said, A/C is pretty common, but it's a split mini system with wall mounted unit in each bedroom and a large standing unit for the living room.
    5
  2648. I lived in Germany for two years and I agree💯
    5
  2649. This is my first video of yours, your English is almost perfect, the one thing I noticed, in English, we generally don't pluralize foreign words (yes we do, but mostly no) so spaghetti isn't pluralized, if you want to count them, we could say spaghetti noodleS
    5
  2650. Very good tutorial, Feli!!! I think you have a very serious calling to be a teacher!!! Your absolutely outstanding. You don't overwhelm the beginner with rapid fire, staccato foreign words and phrases that makes the whole lesson incomprehensible, unlike some other channels. Keep up the good work!!!

  2654. Ein super Videobeitrag! Sehr professionell und kurzweilig. Liebe Grüße aus Berlin/Germany. Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie ein gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest.

  2655. The "Making Of" videos for both original parts can be found on Marti Fischer's YT channel. It looks like they did not add manually curated English subtitles for these. So if you don't understand German, you may have to make do with auto-translated English subtitles via the video settings.
    5
  2656. Wow, honestly I watched this video and I want to go right there, I'm from Argentina and I find judging people all the time, exactly as you said, being jealous and envy, thanks for the video :')
    5
  2657. Wow, I must not be hip as I haven't heard most of those American slang terms before! I have heard a couple of them such as "low key". I'm 32 years old, but I feel old, lol! This was a fun one!

  2658. Your videos have helped me so much in my german learning journey. Ich danke Ihnen beiden!

  2666. Are you sure you're not secretly an American? Sometimes during this video you completely lose your accent. LOL. A cute teenager turned into a beautiful young woman. The ''JFK'' doughnut. Ha. Interesting video. Lots of information. Thanks Feli.

  2670. Thank you for ripping all that anti-immigrant anti-refugee BS to shreds.
    5
  2671. Well done walking the tightrope of politics. Your videos and observations are really informative and I learn from each of them. Thank you. Having Vice President Vance lament the restriction of speech a week before his president said that any student taking part in an illegal protest will be jailed or permanently deported is impossible for me to square. Since he did not define what an "illegal protest" means, I'm left with a chill that we have entered a different, and decidedly unAmerican, era.

  2672. If you want to remember the names of all the Great Lakes in the upper part of the US think of the acronym HOMES Huron, Ontario, Erie, and Superior I hope this also qualifies as a "donkey bridge"

  2673. Love this! A second part would be amazing. :)

  2674. From what I ever saw, the products found in bakeries in Germany ran rings around most of the baked goods we get here in the states - everything was fresher and not usually packaged for mass consumption. I bet they used fewer or no preservatives too. Keep up the good work, stay safe and well Felicia!
    5
  2675. How about if Ben completes all the challenges on time then Feli eats the pepper 🌶?😈😉

  2676. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 As always, you nailed it Felicia. I am endlessly impressed by your ability to explain things so clearly and concisely. Even when you use German phrases your pronunciation, descriptions, examples are so easy to follow and interpret. I feel my IQ increasing whenever I finish one of your videos. LOL... Kudos to you and your channel for the high quality of your content. I hope that you continue to find inspiration and purpose to continue making these great videos. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  2682. OMG this video is so extremely racist. I’m also from Munich and almost everything he said is completely wrong. I life next to a refugee camp and the only thing that changed was the numbers of foreigners in the subway.... uhhh scary. Actually I dated a Syrien refugee for a short while. He was an extremely nice and respectful and to be honest the most handsome guy I ever dated. Of course not everything is amazing in Germany but live is actually pretty good.

  2683. In many places in the U.S., youth play both in clubs (recreation leagues and travel teams) and school teams. In fact, for most sports, if you don't start in recreation leagues and develop your skills at a certain level, you will never make the school team in that sport. So, American kids commonly start playing sports as young as 5 or 6, and if they are talented, they are on travel teams by 11 or 12. If you aren't on the development conveyor belt by then, you simply won't catch up. Sports are serious business in the U.S., and many parents hope their kids will earn college scholarships or even turn pro, despite the fact that, inevitably, a teeny fraction of kids ever play beyond high school.
    5
  2684. Thanks for the information regarding the German fuel crunch Feli. It will be tough on all of us the next few years and the whole world really needs to buckle down and start using other energy forms. There are plenty of good energy sources around us we have to have the will as a unified globe to use them.

  2692. I grew up with the same versions you did, including the older version of sleeping beauty. I was raised in Wyoming and my mom read all of the Grime stories as well as a lot of other things. I have a copy of the original Grime stories translated into English. These stories are the original teaching for children to warn them about evil in the world. Best wishes to you from Idaho. Wayne

  2696. I enjoy your lessons very much! :D Diese Tipps hätte ich damals zum Abi gebraucht. Mach weiter so!

  2697. You're the second German I hear speaking such good English. I've heard multiple times Germans usually speak at least 2 or 3 languages. Usually German,English and French. I think that is awesome!Germans are smart😊 love your videos and how you don't make them long and boring. Danke!

  2698. Because my feet were getting tired, the Mexican restaurant in Frankfurt am Main looked like a good place to sit down and have a drink. It looked just like a Mexican restaurant in America; even the margaritas tasted the same. The only difference was that the bartender was seriously German, and possibly the only person in customer service during my trip who was friendly; just in case anyone was wondering. :) thanks for the fun video

  2705. I think this calls for rearranging your shelving to accommodate your new award. Center it behind you or off to one side so when you are creating content that it will be ever present as a reminder to all that watch and they will know that you are a great achiever. Great job German Girl. You did it with actual thought and work instead of just showing off bikinis or pantyhose. I commend you for the great job you have done.

  2706. I love your videos together and I hope you will make many more of them! I am very much looking forward to the one on idioms. It's always such an interesting topic for a language nerd, and especially for a translator like me. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

  2715. Servus, Feli ! Danke
    4
  2716. Thanks Felicia, this was my favorite video of yours... so far. You showed us several things at once. Most importantly that reading children intense fairytales does not create psychological problems for those children. You are a perfect example. (Unless your YouTube personality is a complete illusion. Hah!). In America our Grimm's tales were really cleaned up for the kids a la Disney. Not quite the same but the dark parts were lessened. Since then the concept of 'age appropriate' entertainments for kids has become quite stringent. Over time well intentioned parents have become even more fearful of exposing children to the darker sub-currents of life. And it seems to me that children want to understand these things, And if they don't get them from their parents they will get them some other way.... or they will be stunted in their knowledge of life. So thanks a lot for this discussion..

  2717. When people find out I'm German I always get a comment along the lines of, "Oh, you're German? I bet you could build a great car." Every time.

  2718. The “Frog princess” was a Masterpiece Theater movie in 1986. They also had another movie in the 80’s that had Robin Williams voicing the Frog. These are more true to the books than the Disney movies.

  2729. I have been living in Germany for 16 years. As much as I try to not have an accent they all know I am American. I live with my German husband and we speak German at home and a bit of Deutlish also if I am being honest. Problem is with all the accents and dialects in German. We live on the Dutch border where it is a mix, then we have Köln which has their own accent. It is all very confusing. It helped immensely watching tv. First year lots of tv and figuring things out. By the way I came to Germany at 45 without any German. I studied 5 years of French which didn't help at all.

  2737. Congratulations on 30k and being featured by YouTube! I don't know why YouTube featured your channel, but perhaps it is because, in comparison to many other channels making cultural comparisons, you appear to be researching the answers or at least sharing your personal observations rather than repeating stereotypes. I did notice one odd pronunciation in today's video: the word "rural" pronounced similarly to "RULE". The seemingly official way to pronounce it is "RURR-ull", but many people don't or can't say it that way and say it "RUE-ulll". I don't know if there are any videos to teach GERMANS to pronounce this as Americans do, but I found one to teach AMERICANS to pronounce it as Americans do!!! https://www.dictionary.com/e/video/rural-pronunciation-video/

  2738. So ironic! I just bought a beautiful leather bound collection book of the brothers Grimm fairy tales! Love your videos!

  2739. I don't remember the exact name of the TV program, but Ben could watch the daily Deutsche Welle news for kids (I think it's 15 minutes long) and tell Feli the summary of the news broadcast. Feli would be able to determine how much of the news he understood. I guess this isn't a challenge with a goal, but it could help Ben learn vocabulary and also keep up with current events (auf Deutsch).

  2743. American mind in the grocery store: "I better be polite and keep my distance in the checkout line to not encroach into anyones personal space". German mind, right behind the american: "How unpolite and mindless! Do you think you are the only one here? What a waste and inefficient use of space!" 😂😂😂 haha that got me, especially. So relatable. 😂

  2744. I'm glad you all had an amazing time in Myrtle Beach! Watching the fireworks while having dinner is so cool! I stayed in Myrtle Beach around New Year's Day, and I saw many fireworks go off at midnight while watching from my hotel room.I definitely would love to see more of these vlog-style videos!

  2745. I'm from Canada and right now I live in Ireland. A big culture shock I had moving here were the sizes of the streets. The streets in Canada are wide and spacious, and it felt like they shrunk when I moved here because they're a lot narrower and windy. Another thing I was shocked by were how small and short the buildings were, because in Canada they're really big and tall.

  2746. Here in Berlin the world women day (march 8th) is a holiday now as well. That's because many holidays are actually regional and Berlin had fewer holidays than every other state of Germany.

  2748. Super, dass ihr mehr Videos zu zweit machen werdet. Ich bin unheimlich beeindruckt von Josh's akzentfreiem Deutsch. Wie toll, dass jemand (freiwillig!) so viel Energie und Leidenschaft in das Erlernen der deutschen Sprache steckt. Und man sieht wie sehr sich das bewährt. :) Übrigens habe ich auch bei mir gemerkt, dass ich im Englischen deutlich lauter spreche. Ich glaube, dass liegt daran, dass man mit der Zeit auch die Kultur und Gestik etc. mit der Sprache mit aufschnappt. Ich habe auch mal davon gehört, dass mehrsprachige Menschen eher dazu neigen, mehrere Persönlichkeiten zu entwickeln, wenn auch nicht unbedingt auf eine ernsthaft krankhafte Weise. Makes sense to me. :D
    4
  2749. Your English sounds perfect to me! It's amazing how I can not hear a German accent! German is one of my favorite forgein languages! I like Icelandic as well, sounds rather odd!
    4
  2750. Hello again! This is a great video. Thank you for doing this. It is a bright spot. I smiled when you brought up Germans who love to plan. It made so much sense because one of my Aunts who married into the family had a father who was born in Germany and she used to wear the family out on vacations that she hosted because she would plan each day of vacation out so that not one minute was wasted and many sights were seen from morning to night and all hours accounted for. This wore the rest of the family out and everyone needed a vacation from Aunt Julie's vacations! She is a lovely woman though and we all love her deeply and we know she cares. We just wanted her to relax so we could too. I was glad to learn what you shared about German planning and not wanting to waste time so that I could understand that perhaps her Father was this way. I never got to know him well as he was old already by the time I grew up enough to be aware of him and he did not come to many family functions due to heart disease.

  2751. I know Kleo is the main resource you’re using and is personal to you, but as a supplementary resource I would recommend Seedlang from the Easy German team it’s been super fun and helpful. Also, the thing that has probably caused the most problems in my German learning is not memorizing the gender for each word as I learned the word which was fine at first but became nightmarish when grammatical cases were introduced😂
    4
  2752. That is a big ass TV!! Tell me Ben has a nice gaming console too. :) I've been using Duolingo to learn German. I will definitely look into Kleo

  2753. This video made me want to try cooking some german dishes.

  2754. I think those relaxing comments REALLY hold true with vacations... Being on vacation as an American, we might bring work along with us. While being a German, Germans are on VACATION!!!

  2755. Glückwünsche and congratulations, Feli. You are one of the best ambassadors for Germany!!! I love your smile and your very good background informations. Thumbs up! Greetings from Germany Erwin PS: I wish my English would be half as good as yours. ;-)
    4
  2756. Yes for convenience and customer service! I still find it irksome that I can’t buy Ibuprofen at a supermarket or even Budni/DM. And staff in restaurants make you feel like you’re ruining their day by wanting to order food or pay by card. And something I like about Germany: public transit is great. And I find the work/life balance to be a lot more healthy. Nobody pressures you to check email on holiday or get back soon if you’re sick. Life comes first. LG aus Hamburg!

  2759. I agree with most of the recommendations in the comments, but I just wanted to add Queer Eye Germany - it's so wholesome and each episode is in a different city in Germany plus you get to hear how people actually talk. Similarly Nailed It Germany is also really fun if you like baking and also cake fails. Outside of Netflix, I also enjoyed the Cold War spy series The Same Sky

  2763. I've never been a sports fan or spectator, but I loved playing football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, motocross in school then went more into off road racing. Awesome video!!! Your German friend's sounded 100% American, I couldn't hear any German accent at all.

  2764. I would like to hear about the different dialects and also how Austrian German differs from the German spoken in Germany. ☺️ I'm also interested in more discussion of the different states in Germany.

  2765. This video is great, and I'm only partially saying that as a person who grew up around and loves Chicago. I could go for even another hour of this style.

  2769. Facism can rise in countries with and without weapons. What matters is the political belief in the dictator. Dictators can not rise if they don't have a strong support for their regime. Guns do not change that. In fact easy access to guns could make things even worse. All you need is a few armed people without remorse that threaten everyone and the other people will probably give up as well. Militia and paramilitary groups are dangerous. The SA was basically such a group that threatened the general public in favour of dictators with weapons. In fact one could argue that a gun owning population would make things even worse. Because what does the state have to do in order to combat guns? They need to gear up in order to stay ahead. Now what's better in case a government becomes a dictatorship? Is it better if the police drives bulletproof cars with a whole armory in it, has tanks and military helcopters or if they have a pistol and that's about it. I'd take the cop carrying just a pistol any day.

  2770. I would love a video dedicated to pronunciation of German beers and beer types. Hefeweizen is one of my favorite types of beer, but no one in the U.S. seems to know how to correctly pronounce it.

  2771. Thank you Feli for everything you do. Have a happy and healthy new year.

  2772. Hey Felicia, a fellow german here ^^ I gotta say I really like your vids and i agree with almost everything you say xD BUUT i gotta say that "lame excuses" are not an exclusive thing to the US :b I actually got served ALL THREE of your examples, by the same girl. sooooo..... yeah. still. MUCH LOVE!

  2773. Nicht nur, dass eure Fremdsprache sehr akzentfrei ist, sondern auch eure jeweiligen Muttersprachen sehr clean sind. Ich denke, dass das zusammenhängt ^^ Ist auf jeden Fall sehr beeindruckend. Schade, dass ich den Zugang zu anderen Sprachen erst sehr spät gefunden habe und jetzt einfach "keine Zeit" mehr habe, mich mehr damit auseinander zu setzen.

  2774. Would LOVE to get back into German! GREAT language!!

  2775. My thoughts exactly every time I get one of those Cookies at Subway here in Germany: Man, they could've used a couple more minutes in the oven! Actually, the first time I had one, I thought they just screwed it up or pulled them out too early because they were running out of supply, only after the 2nd time I had to realize there was method to the madness, and since then it's chips for me to go with the menu ;)

  2776. I'm from Berlin. In my elementary school there were every once in a while as lunch in the cafeteria hot chocolate soup, we loved it. Most of the time it came with bread. ^^

  2777. The app looks awesome. I learned numbers from 1-30 in German because I watch a lot of tutorials on card making and boxes. I've learned a few words here and there. I would love to learn more German so I can understand the videos. Lol. I've even learned numbers in French for the same reason. It looks like he's doing great.

  2780. I had German for 3 years in school in the Faroe Islands, but I had it as a 4th language subject, the others being Faroese, Danish and English, so I wasn’t able to focus too much on it. So now I only have rudimentary German skills. I live in Denmark now, and have been thinking about starting to learn German again. 😊

  2781. Es macht richtig spass euch zuzuschauen! Da waere ich gerne ein teil davon. Ich hab hier leide rkeinen der Deutsch mit mir spricht, ausse rmeine familie am telefon. Lebe auch in Cincy.

  2782. I don't know if there are similar traditions in south Germany, but in North Germany (I'm speaking as a person from Niedersachsen) there are many traditions in country regions on Pfingsten. The boys and men younger than 30 years in my village (and in the villages nearby) used to go into the woods and chop little birch trees (Pfingstbäume) for confirmed girls, business owners, a family with a new born baby or if someone in the household married. After that, everyone goes to the Frühtanz (Early dance?). Barbecues and of course a lot of beer and alcohol take place in this event, too. It's always a lot of fun.☝🏻😅
    4
  2783. You are adorable. I am German American. I was stationed in Germany 2yrs. When a local asked “what” I was, I didn’t know how to respond. I wasn’t going to say German to a German. I finally said Minnesotan. 🤷‍♀️🤣

  2784. Deine Ausstrahlung ist einfach zuckersüß. Ich hab schon nur ein paar Videos angeguckt, seit YouTube dich mir empfohlen hat und jetzt taucht dein Lächeln überall in meinen Empfehlungen auf. Darüber bin ich nicht traurig. Herzlichen Glückwünch mit deinem wachsenden Erfolg und ich wünche dir viel mehr in der Zukunft!

  2785. Thanks for this video. I had a German friend in England who told me a funny story of how he went to a pub and ordered a Lowenbrau (sorry, I don't know how to make an umlaut on my computer.) Of course, the German man pronounced it in the correct way, but the barman said, "No, no, no!" wagging his finger, "It's 'Low-wen-BROW'!" My friend got a big laugh out of that. So did I :)

  2796. Speaking of photography. I worked for Carl Zeiss from 2008 to 2018. I'm retired now. It was my best job. I love it and miss it very much. Best wishes from New York.

  2798. That shirt is sexy

  2799. I was really hoping you would make a video about this. Thank you! My concern is we live in a world now where depending on your political leanings, conservative or liberal, your views of what is acceptable speech can be vastly different. So, depending on what political party is in power, they will be enforcing their view of what that is. As an older person now that lived through the 60's I have to admit that it is shocking to me that liberals are the ones that want to restrict free speech and conservatives are the ones fighting for it. I never saw that one coming.

  2800. I will toss in a YES, PLEASE for creating a video on how to pronounce the umlauts correctly!!!

  2801. Probably my favorite holiday!

  2802. Mind blown. I keep running into Americans who immediately tell me that they speak German (and that it’s really easy to learn anyways) but when I switch over to German to ask how come and that’s awesome and so on, their expression turns blank because what they actually meant was that they know the words danke/Bier/ and whatever other stereotypes you can think of. And I wish I was exaggerating and that that happened once or twice, but it seems to be a common thing.
    4
  2803. Hi Feli! I used to speak Brasilain Portuguese, but that was many years ago. So I took your advice. Now I'm enrolled at Live XP to revive my Carioca Portuguese. Thank-you. Obrigado. & Danke, mein Freund!

  2804. I've read it (I think) but I only knew the first one! This was fun, Danke!
    4
  2805. This is one of the reasons why I love the show "Dark" so much. The parts that take place more-or-less in current times really show Germans using Americanisms or even better, a mix of German and English like when one of the characters said, "Dann holen wire den Shit ganz easy." Cracks me up!
    4
  2806. Carving a turnip vs a pumpkin I think there's no contest the pumpkin is the winner. The British isles might of been the origin of Halloween or All Hallows Eve/ All Saints Eve/ Samhain, but the use of the pumpkin for carving the Jack-o-lantern in U.S. with association with Halloween wasn't until 1866. Happy Halloween from Salem Massachusetts!

  2812. My dad was in the military, US Air Force, and we were stationed at Templehof in Berlin for 3 years ('80-'83), so some of these things I've known since I was a little kid.
    4
  2813. More of this. This is really interesting. You might do one on strange (to you) expressions we use. For example, "He hit a home run with that one."

  2814. Hi Feli, fantastic video. I lived and worked in DC for more than 20 years, and I knew most of this, except for the Friendship Garden! I am familiar with the heritage foundation and the museum, as I worked for the American Association of Museums for a long time. It is good to spread the word about German influences on the USA. On a personal note, my heritage is half English and half German (Mayer and Bruns families.) Now I have returned to the homeland and live in Rhineland Palatinate, where I teach English. And try to understand Pfälzisch. 😆

  2815. Wonderful video - you did a great job covering so many interestings part of Chicago and its German heritage. Glad you had a good time - do come back and see more!

  2816. I can't speak to why others know the word "wunderbar", but I know it because I grew up watching "Hogan's Heros".

  2817. Really good, Ben! keep going, mate :))
    4
  2818. Another great video! I agree with the eating out here in the states. Usually the wait staff will start pressuring you to pay the check and leave if you are spending a lot of time hanging out. Probably heavily related to the tipping factor most staff expect here in the states.
    4
  2819. Excellent video, I learned a lot!
    4
  2820. This sounds amazing. I was already thinking of visiting Germany later this year, but wasn't really sure what all to do while I'm there since it'll be my first time leaving the states and I was going to be solo, so this sounds awesome and like it could help ease the stress. Of course, I'll still be stressing about things like my medicine/insulin and such, but at least I won't have to plan out events or feel like I wasted my trip because I didn't have a good plan!

  2821. I was an English speaking nanny for an Italian toddler for about 6 months... I reinforced a lot of the Italian I already knew and learned a TON of new vocabulary by watching cartoons with her in Italian. She was pretty stubborn and didn't like watching in English..!

  2826. I'm a bit shocked looking at the comments about corporal punishment in the US and most of you trying to play it down or explain it. Really, no one (no child or adult) deserves to be hit/spanked etc.. It's abuse - plain and simple. If you cannot discipline or educate your child in other ways, that says more about you than about your child.
    4
  2827. This was adorable. It's a nice break from all the Will Smith and Johnny Depp videos.

  2828. Yes! I was happy to see her video on this topic. I knew before watching that this would be one to recommend to people who are interested/ worried. 😊

  2832. My family's cats were all outdoor cats. If they want to go out, let them. They can lounge in the sun, chase birds Ect.. But we always let them in whenever they wanted in, and we always had them in over night. (Unless it was during warmer months where he would just sleep on the back patio chairs)

  2837. Felicia, I enjoyed these latest videos. Really like the vlog style and you seem to be a natural at it. Would truly enjoy more videos in this style. So many places to be explored.

  2841. In the US, home ownership is big key to family wealth and being able to transfer that wealth to your descendants. In fact many African Americans believe that because of discriminatory sales and mortgage practices, they have been denied that wealth.
    4
  2842. I love how there are certain emotions that we don't have words for, in English, but German does have. The most obvious example being 'schadenfreude', pleasure in the suffering of others. But also, 'weltschmerz', literally 'world-pain', more figuratively 'world-weariness', specifically the world-weariness that comes with knowing that reality will never be anything like you think it should. And yep, in America, "beamer" / "beemer" is slang for a BMW. I don't know how affordable / common those are in Germany, but in America, owning a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz is a status symbol. Not so much if it's old and/or ill-maintained, but if you drive a shiny new BMW or Benz, you're probably doing well. ("Box" can have a more vulgar meaning in English, but I'm sure I don't need to get into that.)

  2843. Ihr zwei seid extrem symphatisch und sehr offen. Es macht Spaß euch zuzuhören. Mein Englisch ist leider ( ich bin in der DDR aufgewachsen und da war Englisch nicht vorrangige Fremdsprache) eher schlecht, d.h. ich verstehe zwar das meiste, wenn ein Video auf Englisch gemacht wird, aber es richtig zu schreiben oder zu sprechen fällt mir, schon wegen der anderen Grammatik, schwer. Ich versuche das aber zu ändern, auch durch Ansehen eurer Videos. Dann werde ich hoffentlich bald auch mal auf englisch antworten.

  2844. I have not found any harder french tongue twisters, but I have found a french sentence that covers the whole alphabet "portez ce vieux whiskey au juge blond qui fume"

  2849. One note for non-Americans, yes, we really do use red Solo cups for beer. However, we also use them for any kind of party and drinks as their super cheap. I've met non-Americans that think this is just a movie thing.

  2850. Yes, please! Would love to hear more about the many dialects of German, especially Plattdeutsch and Thüringisch.

  2851. Wow, I didn't realize you had so many subscribers! Congratulations! Soon 500K! 🙂

  2852. This is a fantastic video. kudos to you Feli!
    4
  2853. I think that a good challenge for Ben's second-month check-in/test should be to listen to your german family/friends talk to him solely in german. It could be their opinions of him or about you. Anyway, I loved the video. Great job with your German Ben

  2854. I'm from Chicago and visited my grandmother in Cincinnati and jungle Jim's was definitely the best part of Cincinnati

  2855. Felicia, your English is perfect. That being said, I'd like to see a video in German (with English Subtitles) about any subject at all, just so I can hear the language spoken correctly by a native speaker. It's been a while since I've been to Germany and I miss hearing it. Danke schön. BTW, yours is a beautiful country; I love it there.

  2856. even if you pass we're still gonna want you to eat the pepper. 😂😂😂😂 But seriously, good luck on the journey!!!!

  2857. We sooo need to remember, or it happens again. Feli, you are a good Mench!
    4
  2858. Hi Feli! Interesting video as always. I'd say here in Italy males usually pee standing up and I think that's the reason why male public restrooms are always way dirtier then womens! Speaking of female perspective, it would be interesting to hear about your experience as a woman in both the USA and in Germany, for example: do you feel safer in the USA? Would you say that catcalling happens less in Germany? Are the USA media more prone to impose body expectations or gender stereotypes? In short, how is it living in the USA compared to Germany, from a strictly female point of view? Have an amazing weekend! :)

  2861. The old joke is Skyline is Alpo and Kerosene. You should have tried Gold Star when dipping into meat. I really miss Goetta though. Raised east of Cincinnati, but haven't been back that way for several decades. Appreciate that you appreciate the U.S. when too many of its own citizens don't appreciate their own country. Happy to have you here.

  2862. Wow, tolles Video. Hat Spaß gemacht mit euch durch Cincinnati zu laufen. Die Stadt gefällt mir!

  2865. I'm from Canada and when I moved here I didn't know that bacon was not just a slice of ham it was totally different also I had to learn the standard system which isn't as precise as the metric system but easier to learn... love your videos and I was stationed in Balmholden, I probably spelled that wrong LOLOL but it was a great experience

  2866. Great video ithink the kit would look nice next to my Sheffield United one😉
    4
  2867. Feli! As always, seeing your video makes me (and probably everyone else) happy. A couple of notes: one is that because I studied Spanish - a Latinate language - in school (for many years), I find it easier to "find my way into" other Latin-based languages than German. (And this is despite the fact that much of the structure of English is descended from Northern European languages.) Second, English-speakers do use, or have used (it's a little archaic now) the word "smoking" in reference to clothes. There is, or was (you'll virtually never hear it now) such a thing as a "smoking jacket", but it did not refer to a tuxedo. The way to picture it would be as something that a wealthy or aristocratic American man or Englishman, in an earlier time when people dressed more formally/elegantly, would wear inside his home while relaxing; say, while smoking his pipe and reading the newspaper, seated in his favorite leather easy chair in his dark-walnut-paneled study or library. Such a jacket might be made of a dark red velvet-type material with a black fur collar. It's something you might see in an old movie set in a British manor house - very retro. Cheers!
    4
  2868. That is...something. I might need therapy after that one, lol. Always a pleasure, Feli! :-)
    4
  2869. Felicia getting all humorous in this episode!

  2870. Interested in going. I will not know when I will know when I can go or not. If I can't make this one, I hope you will do another.

  2877. Wow, you're a bright spark. Greetings from Merrie England ! Can't believe you've only been in US for 3 years. Your accent is faultless. We in England are very attuned to accents, and there wasn't a trace of a foreign accent in your speech. Only comment on your video is that many of these words came from Jewish immigration/ psychology - kitsch, angst- doppelganger etc
    4
  2878. This vlog made my day better! I miss not being able to go to Halloween parties this year especially since Halloween lands on a Saturday this year. I always make it a tradition to buy one costume every year, even though I won't really be able to wear it until next year.

  2879. Your new room looks absolutely pretty and comfy :) You have a good taste in decorating.

  2882. My husband and I will be going to Oktoberfest this year for the first time, and we can't wait!!! Probably Sept 24 and/or 25!
    4
  2883. Feli, I was laughing my ass off. You are most certainly priceless!!
    4
  2884. You clearly didn't listen. Personal dignity is the higher fundamental right in our constitution, and has been since the very first day of this German state since 1949, with explicit approval of the three western allies. And insults have been a crime (although a minor one) as per §185 of our code of criminal law ("Strafgesetzbuch") ever since the foundation of the 2nd German Reich under Emporer Wilhelm I. and Reichschancelor Bismarck in 1871. So your reference to the StaSi shows that you know sh*t about the history of Germany, and German laws especially. This law predates the founding of both post-war German states.
    4
  2885. But a correlation does not require causality. Besides, what's so bad about a divorce?

  2886. Thank-you. You read it very well!

  2887. Many of these words is pronounced in Sweden very similar to the German way to say the name

  2888. I always thought Nivea was from England. I'm 63, and I remember my grandmother using it. And she lived through both wars.
    4
  2889. this really amazes me! like how is it possible to speak such good german without growing up bilingual?😱
    4
  2890. Been there. IF Heaven is 1/2 as good as München Oktoberfest, will be a damn nice time to spend eternity.
    4
  2891. i am a football fan. you are an awesome person. I like these vids and keep them coming, its great to hear about differences. i been learning german slowly for 22 years.
    4
  2892. Danke Feli! I haven't been to Deutschland in over 10 years, having sung there a few times. Deutsch is my second language, and I truly enjoyed listening to your discussion. I had to pay attention to the subtitles as I have forgotten a bit over the years. Brings back some amazing memories!!
    4
  2893. "Good job, Feli." I really got nothing to add.
    4
  2894. Omg that’s who we ordered from for my husbands Lederhosen for our trip to Munich this year!! I feel so validated to hear you approve of them!

  2895. Number one and two make me want to go to Germany.
    4
  2896. Thanks! You did A LOT of research for this video. Very interesting.
    4
  2897. This is a really nice video. For someone who isn't a sports fan you did a good job discussing the differences between the 2 countries. Thankyou.
    4
  2898. Before quarantine, learning german culture wasnt even on my radar. Now, it's like I cant get enough! It's really cool seeing the similarities with french too between english and german
    4
  2899. I wish I had known the details of Fasching and St Martin's day when I arrived to study in Bavaria many years ago. This video would have helped me to appreciate it more at that time.
    4
  2900. Prefer this new kind of a YouTube "visual podcast" channel rather than just a podcast with no video. In addition to German I'm also learning how to listen--Josh is an excellent listener, I am not (large family). Congrats on all your new endeavors.

  2901. I graduated from UC in 1988. Over the Rhein has changed dramatically since then!! It was pretty rundown then. Thanks for the city update tour

  2902. FELICHEN!! Immer wunderbar von dir zu hören! Wie immer hast du ein sehr gutes Video gemacht!!

  2903. There’s a lot of variety in the “blaccent” too. Black people from New York sound different from black people from LA, or Houston, or Alabama

  2904. You're actually the first person I have ever heard of besides myself who doesn't like meat. That's so cool.

  2906. This was a great idea for a video!! 😃 As an American, I grew up with the Disney versions. My mom though is obsessed with fairy tales and made sure we all knew the Brothers Grimm versions as well. There was a series in the 80s called Faerie Tale Theatre that we had on VHS and watched all the time. They did a total of 27 episodes (my favorite was The Twelve Dancing Princesses). There were quite a few big names in the episodes - Robin Williams played the Frog Prince, Jeff Goldblum played the Wolf in The Three Little Pigs, Carrie Fisher played Thumbelina, etc. These versions/plays are much more accurate to the original stories (Rapunzel's prince goes blind and her tears heal him, as you explained, for example). Not 100%, but more so than the Disney ones. I am pretty sure they are all on YouTube now.

  2907. Cool earrings 🤗

  2908. Wow I always thought Ohio is kind of lame....but there seem to be a lot of nice things to do in Cincinnati and the skyline is also pretty nice 😃 What do you think of Cleveland and Columbus? Congratulations for 100k subscribers! 🥳🎉🥳🎉

  2909. Need to do that place with my blog one day when I am in Cincinnati - funny place :) Enjoy "Gut und Günstig" ;)

  2910. So glad you're back and feeling better! Great video as always. That thing about the acceleration lane was pretty interesting. I never thought about how long these were in the US. Thanks for this--great to wake up to! P.S. I'd love that video about cross-cultural training!
    4
  2911. You make even the smallest facts interesting and have such enthusiasm for life. You've broaden my perspective on some of the cultural differences between the U.S. and Germany and because of your channel I met a really nice German woman on my last visit to Disney World and we discussed experiences in German vs America life. So thank you for all you share!

  2912. Ich kann es einfach immer noch nicht fassen wie gut er Deutsch spricht 😂 das ist richtig richtig verrückt!!! Hut ab! Gibt es das Sprichwort in der englischen Sprache sinn mäßig? 😂

  2913. Great story. Awesome. Please continue with other interesting facts.

  2914. There are 50 states in the Union, so it is a federal republic. It is a constitutional republic as well, as is Germany.

  2915. oh〜so nice, loving this vlog!!!!

  2916. "which in real life is pretty rare" ...reminds me on the infamous "Pimmelgate-Affäre". ;)
    4
  2917. Great vlog, sounds like you two had good time and even better made some good memories. I don't know why but I love Niagara Falls, always impressed with Horseshoe Falls and all that water flowing over it. Hopefully you did the Journey behind the falls a really impressive view from below the rim of the falls. Next time you go home make a vlog of Munich for your YouTube fans.

  2918. That's a very uncool thought for most modern-day European Union citizens. Obviously, the vicious Russians (= Russian dictatorship) are an exception right now, but the thought of someone having a private assault rifle and cleaning it with an 8-year old is just crazy and outlandish. We here have no need for such assault rifles, because common-sense people solve disputes with words, not by firearm ! Our approach of regulated but legal gun ownership is therefore the right thing to do. Not US-style "Shoot first, only then think." You need to think first, and preferably not shoot at all !

  2919. Hi Felicia, I enjoyed your reactions to Briggs' count down. Since you lived almost all your life in Germany, I would be more inclined to believe your opinion on living in Germany, than Briggs' opinion. Also, his statistics were not based on truth. There is nothing Briggs said that has deterred me from wanting to visit Germany as often as I'm able to do so. Also, I'm taking a German language course to learn to speak German, and I would agree that it is not an easy language to learn, but that's the same learning to speak any new language. Perseverance and determination is needed and I am determined to learn German; I won't give up! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Take care of yourself, Felicia and please stay well!

  2920. What do you think of American style “German beer gardens”/Restaurants? I went to Hoffbrau steakhouse in Las Vegas…ugh! I wasn’t impressed. Any authentic German restaurant chains in the US?❤️your channel!
    4
  2921. Nice room makeover. The new lens is a killer. Such clarity. Wow. As for background, might suggest something with orange/shades of orange (brighter shades).
    4
  2922. You are a very genuine and happy person. You are the kind of individual who gets to one plateau and then on to the next. You are enjoying your journey and fully appreciating every moment. I wish you well.

  2925. This has also brought back memories of German Christmas cookies, we as a family still make pfeffernüsse (with icing instead of powdered sugar) but I also grew up with macaroons, anise cookies (but ours were star shaped) thumbprint cookies and crescent cookies. Thank you again for the flood of memories from my childhood.

  2929. As usual, both very interesting and very well presented. One gets the impression that the young woman is naturally very friendly.
    4
  2930. When I was a young kid, I enjoyed getting to lick the spoon or the bowl when my mother made cookies. But my first ex used to make cookie batter, and then just eat it rather than making the cookies! That baffled me. And cookie batter ice cream? Way too much. And yes, most American cookies, cakes, pies, and the like are way too sweet. And I say that as a native.

  2931. I swear I've seen every single one of them and they all send me scratching my head like what the hell lol. Stones favorite show!

  2932. Room looks great. Those big round chairs are so awesome. I used to have one . They are SOOOOO comfortable. You can basically throw yourself on them in any position and lounge in heaven. The kitter kat is cute as can be. Think when my old dog moves on I might get a cat....or 2. The one thing I wished you talked about but didn't was.....well being a history nut I love maps. The one on the ceiling looks awesome. Where did that come from? I have tons of unique stuff I've collected at flea markets over the years....way too much. Perhaps if your interested I'll send you a picture of all this madness I've collected. Love your vids/channel/you......you always brighten up my day....even dreary gray rainy stormy ones like today. I need to become a patron.....been meaning to forever but keep forgetting. Sometimes I'm an airhead or get sidetracked....which reminds me..... don't be concerned about the shelf incident......I'd probably build one shelf upside and backwards. Love and respect...stay safe and healthy .💖🤗💖🤗💖🤗💖🤗💖🤗

  2935. So glad to see a video post with your new channel name!
    4
  2936. This is fantastic! Would love to hear a similar video of you reacting to really old-school Yiddish (if anyone's left who still speaks that). Also, for the Hinkelhaus, in English we would say "chicken coop" (as in a place where chickens are cooped up). Kind of a weird word.
    4
  2937. Your English is flawless! Love your Q&A videos.
    4
  2938. I have watched many of your videos and you speak better English then Americans. You are an Amazing person. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the Great job. This is my first ever post.
    4
  2939. Hahaha that’s awesome. I’ve lived in the US for 7 yrs and can definitely relate. Especially the positive mindset, Mexican food and carpet. Not so much on convenience though cuz Asian countries does a really good job on that as well 😂

  2941. Thank you so much for your content. I can come home from Stressful day at work and destress with your video
    4
  2942. "Audi" has a really nice ring to it when a german native speaker says it. In France we say "odi" 🤣. But we say Adidas, Nivea (always thought it was a french brand btw lol) and Aldi almost like you 🙂
    4
  2943. We were only allowed to use the No.2 pencil when I was in school. Love your content. Part 2 please & thank you. Bye. ;-)
    4
  2944. Thanks ever so much, Feli! As with so much on YouTube, I stumbled across your videos by accident - but they're really super (and well made), your personality is delightful and the topics are of great interest. In fact, I find the videos rather addictive! :o (I've experienced German-British and Polish-British differences, and was married to a German, at one time.) Tchuß!

  2945. Thank you for the tips! 🤗

  2948. In Dornröschen gab es noch den Part, dass alle Prinzen, die vor Ablauf der hundert Jahre versuchten Dornröschen zu erreichen, in den Dornen der Rosen hängenblieben und verhungerten In Dornröschen there were also a Part that says that all the Princes that tried to reach Dornröschen before the hundred years were over got stuck in the thorns of the roses and starved to death

  2952. I’m Italian and lived in California for the past 20+ years (unfortunately) and I agree in full!! I miss Europe so much and can’t wait for my yearly vacation to go home (alas COVID ruined this year plan!) I’m waiting for my next vacation......,

  2953.  @FelifromGermany  Hi Feli, a few weeks ago one of my nephews had his first day in school in Bremen and guess which day it was. Yes, it was on Saturday 😉. In Lower Saxony it's the same, but this "tradition" is just 10-15 years old, I think. I had a big school cone in the 1970s, almost bigger than me. My Grandparents bought it in Eastern Germany when they visited their relatives and it also was a hexagonal one. All of my four siblings had this school cone (it was a very solid one) and even my youngest sister, who is 14 years younger than me, had it. And we all have been the ones with the biggest school cone in our classes 😂.

  2954. Wow, Josh, your German is the bomb!

  2960. This is so funny. Here in America my favorite soda is called "Sierra Mist "! They would never call it that in Germany. That's hilarious 😆

  2963.  @FelifromGermany  The downside is that you'll most likely never be "fully happy" in one place anymore Ahh, but the upside is if you can pull off owning homes in both, and then truly live a bi-national life. No matter what anyone says, that's a lifestyle that 99% of us would envy.

  2964. Als Münchner kann ich nur sagen :Alles zu 100% richtig erklärt.

  2966. U guys are awesome...so fascinating the culture exchange is enriching, thanks Felica, I hope you continue to express ur thoughts 💭 and ideas, both culturally and politically. Even if it’s unpopular, we have to put a stop to ‘cancel culture’

  2967. 8:42 "Gut geplant ist halb gewonnen" it is!:trophy-yellow-smiling:

  2968. Totally agree, part 2 when ever is convenient with you. Thank you for sharing, we in the UK have a lot in common with the German culture.

  2969. Ben as a lederhosen model is not what I was expecting but wears it well.
    4
  2970. I corresponded with a German guy for about 20 years starting when I was in high school. I always wondered why his handwriting was so different, now I know! Some Americans do take their shoes off once they are inside, they just don’t wear house slippers and usually they are clean freaks. I have an aunt and the first words out of her mouth when you’d go see see her were, “Take your shoes off.” She’s 94 now and says she was crazy.
    4
  2971. Going back to the Netherlands: how clean and organized everything is. That so many people still smoke🤯

  2972. no joke feli, you sound so much happier with a significant other by your side...and for some reason that makes me happy

  2973. You have made my day thank you

  2974. Just love your smile.
    4
  2975. I totally agree with the dating point of view,
    4
  2976. Love the video and definetely the app, it's awesome. Ben should try to sing one of Rämmstein songs!
    4
  2977. You did a lot of research for this. Good work!
    4
  2978. Wow, that's a huge selection of German products in the US.

  2979. Some states have a deposit for bottles and can Oregon and Comifornia do
    4
  2980. When I came to the states from France I noticed I also dont walk as often, this country just seems so much bigger. Things seem farther away
    4
  2981. Das Video macht mich fertig... Anstatt, dass ich euch einfach zuhöre, wenn ihr Deutsch sprecht, lese ich den Englischen Untertitel, um alles zu verstehen. xD Aber Respekt an Josh. Er spricht echt sehr gut - könnte fast Muttersprachler sein. :)
    4
  2982. Congrats on 50K! You'll hit a million before you know it! 🤣🤣 I have reservations about a Patreon and merch, though. I've seen other YouTubers start out innocently enough, only to see their channel blow up to the point where their channel essentially became their full time job. I suppose you could find a happy medium where you could have a Patreon and sell merch while staying true to yourself and your channel. Best of luck for the future and stay safe. 🙂

  2983. American here.. In the 1970s I grew up hearing and reading the original version as we had a Brothers Grimm book.

  2984. These cultural insights and comparisons are priceless. I have visited Germany & really enjoyed it. Thank you! Keep up the great videos...

  2985. Plenty of AL DI stores in Australia we love 'em.

  2986. Die Schwaben sind da sicher anderer Meinung 😂 aber nein allgemein geb ich dir da schon recht ^^

  2987. My challenge for Ben: German tongue twisters! "Hinterm dichten Fichtendickicht picken dicke Finken tüchtig." "Griechische Eichhörnchen tauschen tschechische Streichholzschächtelchen." "Süße Typen tippen Tüten" My Tip for Ben is: German is way closer to Shakespearean/King James Bible English than he might yet have realized. Both in regards to word order and outdated verb forms. So: he might want to re-read the Bard... all the "Thou speak'st aright"s may come in handy now for developing a German phrase.

  2988. Mexican American here reporting from München!! Prost!! 🇺🇸🇩🇪🍺
    4
  2989. I'm from Long Island NY born and raised . Currently live in South Carolina. NY so dang expensive to live but fun to visit. Anyways though I'm actually going to Germany for the first time on February 16th and am staying for a week in Munich. Super excited to experience Germany. Have always wanted to go since I was a kid.
    4
  2990. Definitely would like to see part 2. Everything you say is so true, my wife who is American but grew up from an early age in Europe through college. Needless to say she would buy square pillows for our bed, wrote letters and numbers as you describe, ate her food with a knife and point her fork upside down. Even her side of the bed the sheets were pulled out and my side was always tucked in. 🛏😂 I travel to various countries in Europe twice a year and I noticed the pillows are so small even on king size beds. What's up with that? 😂😂😂 Tschuss
    4
  2991. German Girl you are fun, entertaining, and adorable! I do have some German heritage.(My mother's maiden name is Henchel.) Keep up the good work!
    4
  2992. Clearly they had a ton of fun making this. I love this channel. It's so much fun! :) Interestingly, the "Irish wristwatch" one easiest ones for me. The German ones were very difficult for me. Part of the reason being that when I was in college I had a year of German, and for many reasons, my memories of that class are quite traumatic. :)
    4
  2993. This was such a great and informative video! I always really appreciate the amount of research you do on your channel. Very well done! 😊
    4
  2994. I’ve grown up in the US and my goal is to learn German without an accent. So 👍🏼 you’re sounding great and you’re definitely an inspiration:)
    4
  2995. Yes, please. Do a part two. I love your energy in this video.
    4
  2996. Congrats! Seems like yesterday we celebrated 20k!
    4
  2997. This was outstanding. I can tell you put a lot of hard work into it!
    4
  2998. This is such a heartfelt message from you Your injury reminds me of my torn Achilles tendon injury when I was a graduate student back in the day. After my surgery, it took me a year to fully recover. I suspected that it was on roller blades or skates that caused your injury. Fortunately, you're going to start your OT quickly after your. Just remember that each day brings you closer to full recovery. Get your rest and be patient with yourself. Be safe, stay safe!

  2999. I think kindergarten in America has shifted in focus since I was young (mid-1970s). Your description of the German meaning was how it was for me when I was young. It wasn't mandatory for parents to send their children to kindergarten, just highly recommended. And the focus was more on socializing, fun activities, and field trips. That said, it was part of the elementary school system. --- As for Gesundheit (געזונטערהייט), that came into use in America from the Yiddish spoken by Jewish immigrants during the 1850-1920s. The same goes for spiel (שפּיל) and kitsch (קיטש) and schmutz (שנוק), and their meanings are the Yiddish meanings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_words_used_in_English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlO5vUS5KnU

  3000. I think Germans tend to be less overweight than Americans just from my own observations. Very much a consumer culture most things are larger including portion size in restaurants.
    4
  3001. I really enjoyed this! Thanks for the hard work that went into this project!
    4
  3002. Excellent and very informative video, Feli! I agree with other posters that you’ve done a thorough job explaining the energy situation in Germany. Thank you for your interesting videos.
    4
  3003. There is a difference. Passing in the US is defined as a passing maneuver. That means you change lane, pass and change lane again. In Germany passing is taken literal: if you are on the right lane and for whatever reason the left lane slows down, technically you're not allowed to pass, so you'd have to slow down. Of course pretty much nobody enforces that, but that's what the law says - passing is "passing by another car" and does not necessarily involve a lane change. In the US passing involves a lane change, you are perfectly fine in pretty much all states if you just keep going your speed on your lane, no matter whether you pass someone in the process.
    4
  3004. in regards to "pennen", "etwas verpennen" means to totally forget sth (like an appointment). "Penner" can be used as an insult and also to describe a homeless person (also not a nice term)
    4
  3005. Thanks!
    4
  3006. Welcome that is awesome. So glad you had a great experience. I suggest traveling
    4
  3007. I absolutely love the Octoberfest short you did. I can't stop playing it.
    4
  3008. Hi, Feli. I am from the US, but am of 95% German ancestry. Am writing a historical novel, and found your channel while searching for historic weather data! Glad I did, you are a great communicator. Just need to soak up a lot about German culture. Thank you
    4
  3009. Congrats, Feli!! Keep up the good work - and stay save.

  3011. I need to learn German 😍
    4
  3012. Love your videos! Glad you like it here. I have been to Germany a couple of times and a few other countries in Europe. Although I really enjoyed my vacations, there is no place like home.
    4
  3013. Thank you both for sharing with us out here in YoutubeLand. Through your perspectives of the US you've helped us gain some interesting insight into Germany as well. I enjoyed observing the casual, authentic conversation among friends and in your native language. These videos certainly confirm the beauty of the German language. (Makes me wish I started learning German at a much younger age.) If possible with your format, please create more videos like this presenting some spoken or conversational German. Great vlog!
    4
  3014. Thanks for a another entertaining video belated happy birthday. You have really helped dealing with these crazy times. Your hardwork is greatly appreciated and like always u rock

  3015. hey dude your german is so good, weiter so 😃 war wieder ein schönes Video von dir vor allem harmoniert ihr zwei sehr gut miteinander, vor allem das switch from g to e is great🙃

  3016. Really loved this video. A lot of these make sense once they are explained.
    4
  3017. I knew about Puma & Adidas being founded by brothers. I didn't realize Trader Joe's & Aldi were founded by feuding brothers! That's awesome!

  3018. First! 🤣 Hallo Feli! 👍🏻

  3019. I found Felicia's "heavy" German accented English to be hilarious. :)

  3024. Eigentlich wollte ich ja schlafen, aber das gebe ich mir jetzt noch ^^ Wird bestimmt wieder sehr unterhaltsam!
    4
  3025. Very nice video! One of my favourites is the word "Body", which is used in German for a piece of female clothing, like a bodysuit or something you wear for sports.
    4
  3026. I dont know how this got on my reccomended videos but so glad for it! Great video
    4
  3027. Ja, "ick(e)" is used in Berlin for "ich"...but then the WHOLE sentence is in dialect and not just "Ick" followed by High German for the rest of the sentence... A Bavarian also wouldn't say "Ich gehe jetzt nach hoam."
    4
  3028. Great work Feli, thank you !
    4
  3029. Lovely presentation as always! Thank you for the free education

  3030. Schönes Video. As german I like your Videos to 111%, because it's interresting to know how it is in the US. Thump is up!
    4
  3031. I had been looking some Scottish accent video and yours popped up. I have to say I'm quite impressed with how thorough and overall how good I feel about the video addressing the topics! This is not my normal experience on YouTube. Great job! Also, Ich liebe Deutschland und Bayern! I lived there for a little bit and I loved it so much. I would have never came back if only I was fluent in German. Keep up the great work! Tschüß!! P.S. Please do a tour of the place you record in as it appear it looks to be a beautiful old house of that's close to my heart!

  3032. Ich habe beide Teile gesehen ... und kann den dritten kaum erwarten :)! Ihr macht das beide großartig und Joshs deutsche Aussprache ist unglaublich (aber wahr :)). Ihr seid ein tolles Team!

  3034. You should hear my Saarländisch you would not understand a Word i bet 😂👍🏻

  3035. Sehr beeindruckend! Ich unterrichte Deutsch als Fremdsprache und Englisch, habe lange in Amerika gelebt und bin von euch beiden begeistert. Dieses Niveau erreicht man meiner Meinung nach nicht nur durch Übung, sondern vielmehr durch ein begabtes Ohr. Bravo, Bravo ! Liebe Grüße aus Wien :-)
    4
  3036. Bleib gesund und genieß das Wetter 😇💕 Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 😘
    4
  3037. You really should have a mutual channel as well. 😊 It's fun to watch you guys switch back and forth. - I enjoyed it a lot. Talking about picking up incorrect grammar from native speakers.... It bothers me, when I see myself using the adjective instead of the adverb, even though I know better. 😂
    4
  3038. What does the Fox say? 😊
    4
  3039. Thank you very much not only for hosting Q&A videos, but for your channel in general. The topics are always interesting, the discussions engaging, and the information illuminating. It's enjoyable to hear about how American and German culture are simultaneously familiar yet dissimilar, and we all greatly appreciate your thoughts on such a breadth of subjects. I know I've certainly learned a great deal about Germany, Bavaria, and even Cincinnati, and I look forward to learning even more.
    4
  3040. So excited to be attending my first Oktoberfest this year!! I have really enjoyed your channel and learning from you!
    4
  3041. I'm new to your channel but really enjoy your perspective. Very informative from a very pretty, down to earth young lady. I'm curious to know what the general perspective of America is to the average German citizen.
    4

  3043. I'm so happy that you included kitsch, as I think it's a great word. To me, kitsch is when you display something that's tacky - LIKE a pink flamingo lawn ornament - fully KNOWING that it's tacky, which then makes it kitschy!!😀 I also wish that "Weltschmerz"🌍 would become a part of America's lexicon, as it's a very expressive word IMO.

  3044. Entertaining and informative 👍🏻🇺🇸🇩🇪

  3045. It would be great to hear how to pronounce the umlaut vowels. Also, I’ve been having some philosophical discussions and Jakob Boehme came up. I presume it rhymes with Goethe. Is that right? It sounds like you were saying the vowel should be longer because of the ‘h’.

  3047. The way you presented the differences between formal-informal, and inter-generational greetings was excellent. Your short lesson also shows how a language can reflect the culture of a country.

  3058. I like both, so it mostly depends on my mood as to what I'll get. I see them as being two different desserts. That said, there is a gelato chain near me that serves up excellent product (they do have straciatella) and one of the reasons I enjoy it so much is because it really does remind me of the Eis I used to enjoy in Germany when I was a kid.

  3059. i have to tell you. This is a very informative chanel. great in its detail. never had a interest in going to germany. But now..........thanks. keep up the great job. why hasnt anyone from another country used this model?

  3061. @FelifromGermany  this video is one of the most well done and topical videos; and you have a very unique perspective giving insight into your current home and your homeland. You come from the area at the heart of support for the person at the centre of your own video, and live with the folks that, arguably, may be at the forefront of a similar leader. Your tone, delivery, and detail threaded the needle very well.

  3062. Ich habe dich vor kurzem abonniert und gefühlt darauf fast alle deine Videos durchgeschaut😅...ich liebe deinen Kanal und auch dieses Video war echt klasse! Ich liebe deine Art und Ausstrahlung einfach :). Und auch Josh ist ein wirklich sympathischer Kerl😁. Die 100.000 Abonnenten (und natürlich noch viel mehr😜) hast du dir wirklich verdient☺️

  3063. Thanks, from a fellow Cincinnatian. 😊

  3064. That was a really good explanation! I was wondering why it happened when it did. Thanks for the hard work!

  3065. Love your videos. And, I’d love for you to present a part 2 of things you did for the first time when you came to the US. I remember in the 1970s when I first visited Great Britain, it was the first time I had ever seen unrefrigerated milk on the shelf in the store in some kind of triangular shaped package made out of shiny cardboard. Thanks 🙏🏻

  3066. Beautiful tour. Neuschwanstein is so beautiful when you see it for real one literally feels like in a fairy tale. I hope you guys have great weather in Vienna, which makes it all the more beautiful.

  3067. Yes, I write and receive lots of checks here in the US. I write checks to pay the pest control and the utility bills and receive them from my renters and as freelance paychecks. However, the country where I saw checks being used the most was in France especially my time in Normandy and Brittany.

  3072. Germans don't necessarily walk to get somewhere. We also walk for pleasure. (Spazieren gehen) Walking less than a mile to the post office in Texas, locals would offer me ride or ask if my car broke down. After about six months getting to know many neighbor's and other locals, they actually signed a petition to tell my husband to buy me a car. Which parked in the Garage. After a while I met some German women and we would meet for walking. Locals called us the grazy Germans. I found it quite amusing.....

  3073. I wish I had known about this site sooner!! I ordered my first lederhosen from a site that claimed to be in the US but it shipped from Pakistan. The quality is okay (pricing is the same) but the shipping process took over 2 weeks and I thought I had been scammed 😅

  3074. Good video!,Another popular sport, that a lot of people regard as, is Nascar and they have a big tailgate experience. Would you like to see more bars and restaurants show regular season soccer games when you visit them? I see Hockey becoming the third most popular sport here with the minor league expansion going on. Looking forward to your next video

  3075. Absolut beeindruckend, es ist so faszinierend, ihm zu zuhören! Besonders, wie er auch die deutsche Jugendsprache/Alltagssprache übernommen hat mit dem „ne“ am Ende oder dem Eindeutschen der englischen Vokabeln („switchen“) und die korrekte Verwendung der Zeitformen (z.B. „wenn es eine gäbe“) - wesentlich besser als die meisten deutschen Muttersprachler:innen :)

  3093. Felicia this is another one of your great videos and I am glad you made it. I lived in Germany for 3 years and enjoyed my time there. I have also lived in other countries as well but America will always be my home and I am glad that you are here as well. I was not able to find anything in this video that I disagree with. Please keep doing these videos and I will keep watching them.

  3097. Thank you for sharing your culture. It's so nice and you are a fantastic ambassador for Deutschland. And I don't think any culture has done as much as the German people to understand and grow from their mistakes.

  3104. I’m always surprised that for a country so large, that there isn’t a greater disparity in accents in English in the US. There are certainly different words used in different regions but I feel like I can go anywhere and still be able to pretty much understand people. It seems like even in England (not counting Scotland or Wales) there is a greater difference in regional dialects. It can be tricky to understand people in Liverpool and the north of England.

  3105. One tradition my neighbor hood used to do for Halloween was called boo bags. I want to say it’s almost like a fun little harmless prank with no remorse. All throughout October right up until halloween you would see these bags of treats on people’s front stoops. You would fill two bags full of whatever you want to put in them (usually candy) and a piece of paper saying you’ve been booed and at night you would run to two houses and leave the bags by the front doors. Don’t let anyone catch you-it’s supposed to be anonymous! Always had to either be quick or do it when the target family is not home. You can only be booed once, so you have to take the piece of paper from the bag and tape it to your front window.

  3106. Excellent video, thank you for taking the time to let us know the German perspective on what's happening. Keep up the good work.

  3109. Wieder ein super informatives Video von Dir mit Josh! Zum Thema falsche Grammatik kann ich nur sagen, dass ich mich nicht von der Mehrheit beeinflussen lasse und auch weiterhin den Genitiv als auch den richtigen Gebrauch von "wie" und "als" verwende! Warum sollte man etwas absichtlich falsch machen?

  3110. I would love for you to do a video on how the 2 dots accent (I don't know the name of it..sorry!) changes the sound of the vowel.

  3115. I once had to drive from Munich to Hamburg early Sunday morning. Saw this red dot getting bigger in my mirror and flash red Ferreira passes me. I was doing 125 KPR and it almost blew off the road.

  3116. I grew up playing soccer (and that was in the 70’s) and even got to play a little when I lived in Germany as a kid. I played through high school and into the army. I also played little league football and into high school. I’m not as much of a football fan anymore, I absolutely LOVE Ice Hockey! I actually play hockey now at 51 in what we call a beer league. Loved the video and your contagious smile 😊
    3
  3117. Miss Felicia, I'm mighty proud you have say so many nice things to say about my home. The one thing I didn't get in Germany was trying to "chit chat" with someone waiting to cross der Straße. Me: "Hey, how you doing today"? Them: a blank look or a short "gut". I never made one friend in Germany. The one thing I'm positive of is, Germany has some of the most beautiful women in the world. You, young lady, are living proof of that. 😊

  3118.  @FelifromGermany  Don't you mean if it had been done in English?
    3
  3119. I'm a little behind on your videos lately, 😔 my grandmother came over on the boat in the 30s/40s she did forget the German language although my brother and I used to joke with her when we were little. It's very respectful that you know multiple languages and have worked so hard to be here. Western society has spoiled alot of that here and people just want things for free. I went to DC in 15 and saw some things, but in December, no leaf's glad your having fun. Portland,Oregon
    3
  3120. I rather enjoyed the conversation. It was very organic and not planned. I have a friend I text with in Germany and I introduced her to your videos. She really likes them and thinks you're very good at it. I like that I learn little things here and there so when we chat I either understand why she says she does things or what she means when she tries telling me something in English. Loved this one, love hearing the language and how you both spoke in German to each other. I'm a fan and sub so please keep doing what you do so well and.... Stay Gold!!!!
    3
  3121. Feli, you ask an interesting question about something I haven't thought about for many years. Fairy tales were, it seemed to me as a little boy, intended for children. I much preferred our version of them, especially after I eventually read the original Grimm's Fairy Tales of which my family had a copy. Ordinarily I liked books but this was definitely the exception. I never saw the need for, nor the attraction to, the excessive, unnecessary carnage. All the horrible mayhem added nothing desirable to the stories so I never went back to Grimm. Another turn off for me was the pointless cruelty to animals in Grimm. It was just not suitable entertainment for a child and I knew that at the time. Disney was right to change the stories.
    3
  3122. So, I grew up having no intention of ever standing up to pee; since my parents got divorced when I was three and growing up with a single mum and my older brother living with my father I just didn't know that this would work😂 Later in school I saw other boys do that and I was mind blown😂 But until this day, I usually sit down. Except for public bathrooms, but the funny thing about that is even then I usually as I assume a girl would pee not wanting to touch the toilet
    3
  3123. I just wanted to commend you on another great video Felicia. I hope that if you ever come to Louisville, Kentucky that I would have the opportunity to meet you. Please continue to do your videos because every one of them is entertaining as well as informative.

  3135. Hi Felicia! Bin durch Zufall auf deinen Kanal gekommen. Ich liebe Sprachen und finde du machst einen ganz tollen Job mit deinen Videos! Dazu ist dein Englisch auch wirklich extremst gut.

  3139. Wir lieben Sie so viel!. Ich wuensche Sie eine Buergerin waere. So eine nette Fraulein! Die Vereinigten Staaten sind besser wegen Sie. What a sweet young lady. I must return some compliments to Germany. You have a much more sane healthcare system that isn't based on greed like here. Your streets are cleaner. Also your wonderful musical heritage, witness Beethoven and Brahms (Jon Brahms is not my real name). I am an American living in Maryland and now I'm jealous of Cincinnati for having such a nice girl there. Na, Ich wuensche Ihnen viel Gesundheit und Glueck. Bleib zu Hause und wasche Dir die Haende auch, Lol. Sie haben ein huebsches Laecheln!

  3140. You've got an interesting channel. I've enjoyed the videos you've made. You remind me a lot of my German-born German professor in college: Christine Boetzner. Same facial structure and speech pattern while speaking English. I think she was from the southern part of Germany as well. Keep up the good work Felicia!

  3141. Klasse! Das war ein kurzweiliger Start in meinem Sonntag! :-)

  3144. Bei dem Beispiel "Die in hell" is mir beinahe der Kaffee aus dem Mund gespritzt. Der war gut! Zum Thema Limo: Frag doch mal deine Eltern, wie die Limonade kennengelernt haben. ich denke mal die kennen das auch noch so in der alten simplen Form.Wasser, Zitrone od. Orangen, Zucker, gut gemischt und fertig ist die Limo.. Aber du hast das sicher als Kind nicht mehr so zu sehen bekommen od. auf Straßen-Flohmärkten erlebt und daher verbindest du Limonade mit fertigen Mineralwasser Produkten. Ich kann eigentlich mit dem Begriff "Soda" nicht viel anfangen, da ich den Sinn dahinter nicht sehe.

  3145. Interesting thing about the child rearing, my overall impression while in Germany was that the children were more mature acting there, than in the US.
    3
  3146. Don't be ridiculous. The mental gymnastics that some people are capable of is just embarrassing. At least eight states banned the procedure the day the ruling was released. Now more to come. There 100% is a loss in your choice of what you can do if you live in any of those states. Federal laws are meant to protect human rights when the population in certain places is too uneducated or dogmatic to understand what is good for the whole.
    3
  3147. Danke für dieses tolle Video😊
    3
  3148. As soon as the question of being confrontational and patient came up, before you even began answering them, I said to myself aloud "Yes!" and "No!" respectively haha. Classic of south Germanics! Especially Austrians haha. World renown for it, just as much as north Germanics (Scandinavians) are for their stubborn bullheaded nature and reclusiveness. Love it. I do have a good bit of both South and North Germanic in me via my dad and mom's sides respectively, so I also tend to be regarded as a confrontational, blunt, bullheaded, stubborn, impatient, and hyper-analytical type of person haha. Though I am trying to work on that and change it as of late.

  3149. You got a letter from my girl Susan??? 😱 Yeah she's got a funky last name. She's Polish 😁

  3150. I've been to some German parking garages where you put your ec card in the slot when you enter, and again when you leave, and the system automatically debits your parking fee, and it takes no longer than using a ticket.

  3151. What an awesome opportunity for anyone able to be part of this! I just did a quick price check for flights from YHZ to MUC and back and It's about $2700 cad for 2 people.

  3152. Amazing video well done 😊😊❤️❤️👍👍

  3153. Your challenge should be having a conversation with Feli's Oma! Good tip: watch german tv - watch it live and find a channel you like and keep watching - you will get to know the sounds and the words will start jumping out.

  3154. I'm just starting to learn German and this helped me better understand some of the things I've learned so far. Particularly the capital nouns so, danke! Ich lerne jeden Tag ein bisschen mehr.

  3158. Regarding misunderstandings: Here in Austria, and in Bavaria, we sometimes say "I steh grad voll aufm Schlauch." ("I am really standing on the tube right now.") ... But it doesn't mean to literally "stand on a tube". It means you have no clue about something right now, or can't follow along. 👍
    3
  3159. That sounds like so much fun 😊
    3
  3160. Weird how "a carneval" in the USA is basically a Rummel, when in most parts of the world, it's a specific type of event during the year, traditional festivities in the weeks before lent that involves various events, street parades with people in traditional costumes, sometimes with masks. It is that way whether you're in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Spain or Brazil. But not in the USA. Maybe it is, because those are all countries, with a (at least somewhat) dominant catholic culture, but the USA (while there are catholics) has a more dominant protestant culture?
    3
  3161. Thanks! Very informative I like that you presented stats on your subjects.
    3
  3162. "iu" is believed to be pronounced like a long "ü", at least since Middle High German, and "sc" is the modern "sch", so "diutisc" (-k) should have sounded like "dühtisch". The long "ü" later mutated to a "oi" sound, now written as "eu" (in lots of words, cf. "liute" -> "Leute").
    3
  3163. Thank you so much! I love all your tips. I have 2 kids at the German School of NY, but me and my husband do not speak it. We are American and my kids sound like native German speakers now (pretty cool). However, I would love to learn more German myself. That's my goal for this year.
    3
  3164. My biggest piece of advice would be to eventually learn to think in German. When I was living in Germany, I realized that I didn't have to think of what I want to say in English, translate it in my head to German, then attempt to say it in German. In all fairness, I completely stopped speaking in English. I eventually even started dreaming in German. Interestingly enough, in my dreams, my German friends would speak in German, while I was struggling speaking German while awake. I realized that if I could dream about my German friends speaking their own language, then the knowledge was in my head, I just wasn't trusting myself to speak it while awake. That's when I stopped being afraid of making mistakes and just gave it my best. Trust yourself and don't be afraid to say something wrong. Sure, it might be embarrassing and everybody might even laugh. Just let it roll off your back like water off a duck. Good Luck!!!

  3170. Love your shows so far. Have you covered “hogan’s heroes” a American TV show 1965-71. I was told that it was forbidden to be shown in Germany until 2000 because they did not want to upset German audiences. When it was finally shown in Germany it went to number #1 new comedy.

  3171. Also, if you're in Munich or anywhere where Dirndls and Lederhosen are worn as Tracht and you want to wear one without actually buying one, there are also places to rent Trachten 😊

  3172. I remember watching this in high school when the wall fell. I was 17 years old. It was really a big thing. growing up with the Cold War, it was odd at times we were. We were told to be afraid of Russia and everyone associated with them.

  3175. Handheld shower heads are getting some traction here. I have them in my house but before they were fixed. So to clean them I would use a cleaning bucket and a plastic glass to get the water where I wanted it. Yes, the handheld is much more convenient in that aspect also...

  3185. You missed my favorite. I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit. Upon a slitted sheet I sit. Ich habe eine Deutschese namen, aber Ich kann nur ein bissien auf Deutsch sprechen, nur im schule. So I won't even think about trying the German twisters. Mein Ururgroßvater kam 1850 aus Berlin.

  3186. What I like about your videos is they make me feel much better about my personality. When I went through college, my roommates and friends thought I was kind of rude and weird because of how I act or speak in certain situations. In some of your videos, you explain me perfectly! Very glad you're enjoying your time in Cincinnati. Pennsylvania and Ohio have a massive German community.

  3187. MY 3 Most favorite Classical music composers were mentioned!! Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven!!! How about saying the German pronounciations of the nanes of the members of the band: Scorpions?

  3191. When I was on a college tour in Germany, we were in Koln, trying to find some place. One of the guys in our group saw a young woman walking by and in English said "Miss, could you ...". She looked at him with disgust and began walking faster. I spoke some German and said "Entschuldingen sie mir bitte, wir sind Amerikanishe Studenten,..) She paused and answered my question. I Later learned that Miss sounded like Mist to her, and what Mist means in German. I understood her reaction then.

  3195. “I try not to be condescending when I’m not asked my opinion..” Americans: concept does not compute in ‘Merican 😂 I’m married to a German and this is all definitely accurate. Especially for the beginning of us dating. If it wasn’t for your videos on dating a German girl, I definitely would not have understood a lot.

  3197. Of all the countries I have visited in my life, Germany ranks at the top of the ones I enjoyed. Friendly people, lots of history, different cultures within driving distance (seriously, every region in Germany basically has it's own culture), great, healthy food... The only thing I'm not fond of is the language, but that's just cause I never managed to learn it.
    3
  3198. Tja, hätte die "New York Times" doch lieber Feli gefragt! ;-) Tolles Video! Ich lebe in einer Region in der "Krapfen" "Berliner" heißen. Auch bei mir bedeutet "Ich bin ein Berliner" , dass man aus Berlin kommt......und nicht aus einer Fritteuse! ;-)

  3199. Nice video first of all. I know another explanation for the origin of the word Alemania. The German territories were conquered during the Carolingian era and the lingua franka was spoken under the conquering forces. Under the new citizens, how dont speak frankish was considered do be all man, so the name of the Allemanes came about for the non-Franks in the empire.

  3204. I really enjoyed this one! I grew up watching the Disney versions of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. I remember back in either elementary school or middle school here in Michigan, we had to read the Grimm version of Cinderella in class. I remember we were all disgusted and shocked about the stepsisters cutting off their toe or heel to get the foot in the slipper, lol! That is what happens when we all grew up with the Disney versions and then read the original Grimm version! Other than that, I haven't really read any of the Grimm versions of the same fairy tales. I do know that a friend of mine in Indiana (she also has German ancestry) who is a dancer and once was a dance teacher organized and choreographed a dance production about the Grimm fairy tales a few years ago. Thank you for the video!

  3205. I worked the other end of Black Friday for years so I spend the day hiding. I think it's fallen off a bit. It used to be only the one day and even only til noon so people really went crazy. :-) Hope your Holiday season is off to a great start, Feli! 🙂

  3217. As an American I'm extremely used to vending machines. That said, when I visited Barcelona in undergrad, the hotel I stayed in had a vending machine full of beer. My mind was blown. I came across a few more of these in Monaco and in Rome, but I've still yet to find a beer vending machine in the States.

  3218.  @FelifromGermany  Detailed explanation, I once planned a ski trip for about 25 people, driving to a ski area and let me say there is a lot of behind the scenes work that is needed. Plus dealing with 25 individuals, well, kinda like running an adult day care;)

  3222. Ah, the good old days, when I was the English speaking boyfriend and my (now) wife tried to help me learn German. We both decided, that Swiss German wouldn't be a help, since we lived just outside Basel, both worked in Basel BUT I also worked in Rheinfelden Baden (D) AND my wife was from Bern, so teaching me Bärndüütsch wouldn't be a help at the Musikschule where we worked in Basel. So we concerntrated on Schweizer Hauchdeutsch. Jetzt ist die Familiensprache Hochdeutsch, temperiert mit Schweizerakzent und teilweise Schweizerwortschaft. "Wo hast du das Auto parkiert?" "Wollen Velofahren oder mit dem Tram fahren?" Allerdigns, der Anfang liegt mittlerweile fast 40 Jahre her. Meine Fehler sind seeeehr fiessend geworden, meistens haben sie mit Endungen zu tun, hie und da mit doofen Artikeln (warum ist ein Tempomat Maskulin? Und die Bremse Weiblich?") . Und Zahlen auf Deutsch sind fast unmöglich. Ich wiederhole Telefonnummer Zahl-für-Zahl, um sicher zu sein, dass ich sie mir richtig gemerkt habe. Akzent: ich bin jedes Mal stolz, wenn irgendjemand fragt, wo ich in Holland herkomme. Das englische "R" ist immer noch ein Problem. Manchmal kann ich es angehend richtig, manchmal nicht so sehr. "S" und "ss", "z" und Schweizer "ch" sind noch immer schwierig.

As a multilingual immigrant, sometimes I face some of those situations too 😂😂 my local friends sometimes forget that I am not from here and start talking about events/famous people/tv shows from their childhood or alike, and I just have NO CLUE of what they are talking about 😂😂 Loved the video 😊

  3228. I loved the one about a compliment being, "there's nothing to complain about." It reminds me of when I was preparing to give a presentation to a group of German executives and my German colleague warned me that the best response that I could hope for was, "not bad."

  3232. Really liked this. As a Dutch guy I can relate to the accent part (especially since my parents are from Amsterdam and I was born in Limburg (very close to Germany, Aachen is like 'around the corner')). As a matter of fact it's quite astounding how in such a tiny country like the Netherlands, people from the North have so much trouble understanding people from the South, whilst there is a maximum of 400 km (250 miles) in between.
    3
  3233. Really interesting, I never knew that myth was a thing among Americans. One thing that may be worth mentioning in addition to what Feli said in the video: In some German dialects (at least in Bavarian), you use articles most of the time, even before names. You'd say "Ich hab den Thomas heute getroffen", literally "I met the Thomas today". So to me personally "Ich bin Berliner" actually sounds less natural than "Ich bin ein Berliner". I can't speak for people from the north / from Berlin though :D Great video! :)

  3252. About the cold thing. Many Americans are heavier and that cause them to not feel the cold as much (espcially men). Plus Mid-Westerns have this self image that the cold never bothers them. (This might also explain WHY so many Ameicans think air conditioning is vital and not just a luxury).

  3266. Back in 2008, I broke my arm and had to have surgery. I, too, was prescribed oxycontin not really knowing what it was. The first time I took oxycontin after returning home, I felt like my breathing slowed so much that I was in danger of suffocating. As a result, I never took it after that first pill and just lived with the pain. I am so glad that I had that bad reaction and decided not to take any more of it. It is really sad to see how many people have been negatively impacted by opioids in the US. Let's hope we can get this under control. P.S. I have a good friend who was one of the first German students to attend UC back in the 1980s. In fact, I met several of the first group that came to UC from various parts of Germany. They were a fun group. My friend was from Hamburg but still lives in the US all these many years later.

  3268. The comments about understanding accents in other languages were provocative. I can hardly understand Venetians speaking Italian even when they're speaking standard Italian. Not a problem elsewhere. Good to know this is universal.

  3274. Yes, please do a video on German/US bathroom differences. As for Americans peeing standing up vs sitting, I'm an American man and it wouldn't occur to me to sit. No one has ever suggested this to me. Firstly since we have higher water in our toilets than in Germany parts could accidentally touch the water which would be disgusting. Next it would take longer to pull everything down, possibly untuck shirts then put it all back as opposed to - whipping it out. Notice there is often a line for the lady's room but rarely for men. Next, especially in public you never know how dirty a seat might be. The less you touch the better. Men's rooms in public have urinals specifically for standing. If you're in the woods, a back alley (ha ha) or anyplace without a toilet men definitely have it easier being able to stand. Common decency dictates you lift up both the lid and the seat to pee standing up. I'm guessing a jealous woman came up with this 😂 but they even have a device so women can pee while standing. Hope this helps from an American viewpoint.

  3280. Very good research and it is good to know. If we we are going to mention heritages from other nations then it is only fair to mention the German heritage. Yes, they did contribute to the development of this sovereign state called the USA. You did a very good job Feli on the historical accuracy.

I know that nobody's life is perfect all the time but it seems that you have been able to accomplish a lot of things as quite a young person. Your future seems bright no matter where you plan to spend them. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 I think it was a good idea for you to do this video. I feel like I know you a lot better now and will be looking forward to all of your future videos. I think it will be easy for you to grow your channel even more because American's love to hear people say nice things about their country. You always find the right words to express your opinions honestly but respectfully and sensitively. Perhaps you should consider a career as a diplomat. LOL... Just kiddings. Lovely video.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  3299. Great video, Feli! You sure seemed to stir up some arguments in the comments about guns. It is a very rough topic in the US that stimulates fights very easily. Despite how many gun advocates there are in the comments, many Americans do not like the prevalence of guns and gun culture in the US, but a lot of that has to do with the cultural divide of where in the US people are from and what generation they are from.
    3
  3300. Excellent video, Feli!! I learned a lot. This is TV quality! Well done!!!
    3
  3301. This is hilarious!! :-) Feli, you speak English better than most native born Americans! When I hear some people speak, I want to scream! :-( I never knew that there are German dialects. In New England, a drinking fountain is called a "bubbler" and a car's turn signal is called a "blinka." An ice cream soda is called a "frappe." In Texas, a soft drink is caled a "sodee." Be safe, stay safe.

  3308. Hi Feli! Thanks for yet another amazing video! I agree with you in regard to driving personalities. I was raised on the east coast and now live on the west coast. Since my family lives on the east coast, this offers plenty of diverse driving experiences. I was somewhat surprised by the driving personalities in other countries. However, I wonder if the driving habits might be relative to location and the level of congestion based upon the density of the area (e.g., urban, suburban, rural, etc.)? Germany is one of the larger counties in Europe. Geographically speaking (by area), it is actually smaller than the state of Montana. This leads to a higher population density. In Germany, the density is much higher (623 per square mile) than Ohio (284 per square mile). Germany's density is higher than most other individual states. Thus, outside of the cities, there is generally less congestion on most roads, highways and interstates in the United States. This is also despite the fact that there are more cars (per capita) in the U.S. than most other nations. I suppose that I am a bit more relaxed. Even in the Silicon Valley (where I live), I am not an aggressive driver. I think that the same is true of many people in this area.

  3314. Felicia that was an excellent follow-up from your first video and I would love to watch a part three. As for walking I walk just about ever place I go and I usually don't worry about the weather. I like walking because I am a photographer and I can't really see much from a car. I won't comment any more on this video other than to say keep them coming.

  3319. >Wow, as a former collegiate level government instructor, I was extremely impressed with your understanding of this topic. You put many Americans to shame. I have to ask, did you major or minor in government, or did you get this thorough an understanding growing up in Germany? Because yeah, most Americans (on both sides of the D/R divide) are really not well informed on this topic. >When I was teaching this stuff, almost 40 years ago, I too was sure to teach that the US was both a Republic and a democracy. My definition (and examples) of democracy mirrored yours, but I had a slightly different take on Republic. One problem with the term "Republic" is that it has been appropriated by totalitarian countries (like China). As such, your usage of it to describe states seems to give the term more currency than I think it really deserves. In my taxonomy, I simply defined a republic as one of three general forms of democracy, with democracy being any form of government where power and authority rests with the people. These three forms I labeled 1. Direct/Pure democracy, 2. Representative Democracy/Republic, and 3. Constitutional Monarchy, which of course is just a representative democracy with a titular head of state. >The whole federalism thing I do NOT include in this discussion, because federalism comes in several styles. US federalism and Canadian federalism have are premised quite opposite one another, and German federalism is different from both of them. But also, bizarre as it seems, a type of federalism can also exist in states that we would not consider democratic. Even a totalitarian state like the USSR had elements of federalism in its structure. >By the way, you might be interested to know that some micro examples of pure democracy can be found in the US, in the New England town meeting, the form of government some small towns use. (Or at least were still using 40 years ago, I may well be out of date by now.) Actually, given the depth of your knowledge, I'll bet you already knew this but it just wasn't important enough to include. Well done.

  3320. Up until "safe" you used the words just as they have been used here. Some are very old in the way you used them. "Heavy", for example, was used the same back in the 50s. (See Marty in Back to the Future II.) Some of the other words have or have had the same usage here as well. Keep up the great videos. I'm really enjoying them.

  3331. I had been studying German for about 7 months (and had just completed a first semester of German at uni) before taking a trip to Germany and surrounding countries in 2004. I was happy that most people pretty much let me try speaking German and would answer in German too. But there was a guy at a cafe in Berlin who wasn't having it - he heard me trying to pronounce "Ich möchte" and said "Hey man, we got a line, just tell me what you want." 😂 I learned "Ich möchte eine Cola mit Zitrone, bitte" pretty quick while I was there - that was the big thing to put in your coke at the time, and I remember it being really good. What Ben was saying about rebuilding places after the war - when I was in Wien, our tour guide at the Staatsoper was telling us the same: how some parts were still made with the original marble and ornate woods, but the areas that were hit with bombs had to be replaced with cheaper materials, because they just didn't have the money to rebuild as it had been. Typical "German sterotypes"...yeah, we saw them. Most people were pretty nice, if basically keeping to themselves, but there were a few: One female cashier who looked pretty muscular had her cash register mess up on her while assisting a customer. She started screaming at the register and hitting it with an open palm... I'll never forget Wolfgang in Wien. He was our hotel concierge. I was explaining our reservation, but somehow our room wasn't the one we asked for in the reservation. He went nuts when he couldn't find it: "Oh no..noo...this can't be, WHY IS IT NOT IN THE COMPUTER?!?!" He went to call his manager and after some time, came back to give us 2 separate upgraded rooms because somehow our reservation was wrong. Finally, this money taker, yes, in an underground parking lot in München...We didn't realize that they had 2 different trays, an IN and an OUT tray (they weren't labeled or anything), and we casually put the money in the OUT tray...he glared at us, grunted and POINTED to the other tray. He absolutely REFUSED to take the money while it was in the tray he wasn't expecting it to be in 😂 Kleo was very cool - I was able to get through the entire course in a week. I loved having it tell me the level of my pronunciation, BUT there were a couple of words that I clearly know how to pronounce very well, and it kept saying "Oh, not quite", and when I'd hear them say it, it was EXACTLY how I pronounced it. I'm in Anja's course right now as a refresher, and she mentioned that you would be in it, but we haven't hit those videos yet 😅

  3334. This was awesome and I can't wait for the second part!!! Here in Prague, there are two famous tongue twisters aside from Czech itself where every letter is pronounced and they have words without vowels. Also, one letter in particular, the Ř is pronounced by rolling the R and adding a sound that is a cross between the "j" in Judge and an "sh" as in Shut. Here are the two tongue twisters. The first is simply saying 333: tři sta třicet tři :) The second is mostly nonsense but its a complete sentence with words with no vowels. Strč prst skrz krk. Stick your finger through your throat.

  3335. My experience with opioids was similar to yours. I had my tonsils and adenoids removed at the tender age of 58. Vicodin and dilaudid made me feel weird and I was still in pain. After the risk of bleeding passed, I switched to ibuprofen and felt so much better, I think some people don't get the good feeling and aren't at risk of becoming addicted, I was on the pills for 2 weeks took them as ordered and went off cold turkey with no problem. I was lucky. I am a R.N. During the 2000's. the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals started the pain scale of one to ten. Pain was whatever the patient said it was. In my experience, most of the patients said their pain was a ten or eleven. All of this added to the problem. Very insightful video and I love your channel!

  3336. Oh wow, that was unexpected and awesome! That seems to be a great program very much in the spirit of NATO. Glad Florian got his wish. He worked so hard! Also, those Top Gun moments were fun, lol. Was it strange to do the interviews in English as you obviously were all German? Also, I was confused by your coat. Was it hot or cold in April in Texas?

  3338. Ok... found something I didn't know was missing but needed in my life. That belt/ buckle at 15:07, where did you find that? Thank you for all the information!!! We do see Rare Dirndl every year at what I believe is the worlds largest German heritage festival in Milwaukee! They're so great to deal with so I do highly recommend them as well.

  3339. Danke für den zweiten Teil des Videos :) Man hat bei Teil 1 ja schon anhand der Orte und Tageszeiten gemerkt, dass da eine Menge geschnitten war, insofern find ich es toll, dass du eine Fortsetzung gemacht hast.

  3342. haha this started a fight between my father am i.. were a christian family. and for a long time i had horrible feelings about sex, shit even just saying the words penis and vagina, that was always like a 'bad word' which is ridiculous... but i have a toddler.. and when she gets to the age of 12 or 13 were going to have the talk.. im going to ask her if she wants to be on birth control if its something she feels she needs... i always want her to feel open and honest with me. i want her to feel safe enough to ask me questions she has.. my dad thinks thats just me giving her free run to be a whore and have sex with whoever she wants whenever she wants.. but its not that.. i mean for me, my sister was 13 when she got pregnant with my oldest nephew... i do not want to be a grandmother that early. its not me giving her permission or my blessing to sleep with who ever she wants.. for me its knowing teenagers are going to be teenagers... i was a teen once, and i know things happen... im not naive, ignorant nor am i stupid. and i would much rather her be safe and responsible if she is going to be sexually active.. which come on.. teenagers are. most are atleast. my dad will never agree with me, but he is not her father.. i mean i once had a condom break when i was 16. (in a committed relationship, with the same man im still with weve been together for 10 years) but i was so terrified... i went to one of my friends house to talk to her mom because i was so scared... so i NEVER want my daughter to feel that way.. i want her to feel comfortable enough with me to come to me with questions and concerns!!! i think the USA could take some notes from germany on his subject!!

  3352. As a dane I really love this video. Very good idea with the flags. You will find many of the german meanings of the words similar in Danish, except a few. In Denmark rente is the amount of money you pay for having a loan in the bank, or the money you earn by investing your money. By the Way. In Denmark, when you are Old and retire from work, you go on pension. 😁👍🏻

  3354. The USA is a representative democracy, constitutional republic, democratic republic, and republican democracy. All of those terms accurately describe what the United States have. This is in contrast to an authoritarian Republic (modern mainland China and the USSR), Republic without a constitution (ancient Roman Republic), direct democracy with a written Constitution (ancient Athens), and representative democracy with Constitutional monarchy (United Kingdom). The Founding Fathers wrote in the Federalist Papers that they disliked pure democracy (which they described as citizens directly making decisions, which is called direct democracy today) and they wanted impure democracy in the form of a republic (which they described as a system of voters electing leaders who make decisions, which is called a representative democracy today).

  3355. Thanks for the video. I was in the US Army stationed in the tourist town of Wertheim am Main for 3 years 1982-84.Sad to say i didn't experience alot of the German traditions you mentioned but wish i had. The one memory i still think about is how the Castle town was decorated in Christmas lights and the great food available. Even though i had a German girlfriend at the time we still seemed to experience Christmas in many ways like we do in the USA. The only reason i can think this was like that was there were so many Americans in southern Germany basically from 1945-1991 so over time the Germans who lived outside of US bases mixed traditions just like we do today in the USA with mixing cultures and traditions. I know in 1983 there were some 300,000 U.S. troops and family members in southern Germany. Now from what i heard less then 75,000 plus. Also many of the bases are gone now. Sorry for the history lesson. But just saying i wish i experienced the Christmas in the German way when i was there. Merry Xmas!!

  3359.  @hairyairey  Well, I deal with it professionally and politically in Germany. Germany is the largest country in the EU in terms of population, but only the 4th largest in terms of area. The average house size in the US is 245 m² (2637 sqft), in Germany it is 150 m² (1615 sqft) and in the UK it is 105 m² (1130 sqft). In the USA there is statistically approx. 29,500 m² (317.535 sqft) of land available for each inhabitant, in Germany it is 4925 m² (53.012 sqft) and in the UK 3600 m² (38.750 sqft). However, Germany has very strict laws to protect nature and avoid urban sprawl. As the population increases, the area of the country does not increase. This makes it increasingly difficult to provide land for the construction of single-family homes. There just isn't enough space for everyone to have their own house.

  3360. I really enjoyed this one! I usually don't think about all the different phrases we use in English as we just say them unknowingly. For example, I use the phrase "happy camper" often in my speech. I also like how people here in the United States have different accents (in general). As I'm from Michigan, I have gotten a lot of feedback from people on how they recognize that I'm from either Michigan or the Midwest in general. I know German has a lot of different dialects. I remember when one of my German colleagues worked here in the US for a couple years told me how different the German is in Germany compared to Austrian German.

  3364. Just think, when you came to that fork in the road (I know, you picked it up & put it in your shirt pocket.) if you'd stayed home for a more conventional career you would have no idea thru first hand experience why America is called the world's melting pot. Your videos are some of the best. Lucky me as I came upon them by accident. 👍👍

  3388. 👏great job! You covered the correct standard of the limitation on speech in the USA, that is “incitement to imminent lawless action.” This overrode the previous standard “clear and present danger”, that is “yelling fire in a crowded theater.” Prior to Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the USA also banned hate speech, and the titular Brandenburg was charged and convicted of a hate speech crime, which the Supreme Court then threw out, setting the newer standard. I feel it should be important to point out that people who defend this “unlimited free speech” often point to the need to protect political speech like handing out fliers urging men to not comply with a draft… when Schenk v. US was decided on that very issue, and came down against allowing that speech, and the decision that came out to protect that speech were it to happen today came from abolishing hate crime laws. The USA was apparently all for suppression of anti-government organizations, but hate speech was too far. 🤷‍♀

  3393. If the argument is that customer services is better in the U.S because they rely on tips, someone needs explain to me why customer service in Japan, where they don't rely on tips, is superior to the US, and vastly superior to Germany. And Japan is not the only place where that holds true. I do not accept that argument.

  3395. Sehr gut recherchiert und vorgetragen!

  3396. It is a frequent pattern that Americans adopted French peculiarities that didn't survive in France itself but the US got stuck with it. Other examples: - The excessive tipping culture. In 19th century tipping was little known in the US and today it is ubiquitous while it has all but disappeared in France. - spelling address with two d. - the short billion, i.e., that 1 billion is 1000 millions rather than a million millions.

  3405. Yes. I just renewed my US passport and it took 5 weeks. A friend renewed his and it took 3 weeks. So you have time to apply if you do it soon. Currently, no visa is required for US citizens to enter Germany.

  3406. Yes. The EU has adopted US laws which means your passport has to be valid at least 6 months.

  3410. I really enjoyed these videos, it's nice seeing you two chatting about language. Makes me crave meeting with my friends abroad again. Damn you, Corona! I think foreign accents in a different language can fall into the uncanny valley. Obviously this is a highly subjective opinion, but as far as I'm concerned, a really heavy accent is just funny and shows that the speaker is being himself while still making the effort of using a non-native language, whereas someone trying to imitate a certain accent from the non-native language while retaining part of his native accent just sounds like he's trying too hard. I sometimes catch myself doing this, too. Then I just "germanise" my English a little bit and get rid of the hint of a British accent that keeps trying to creep into my speech.

  3411. There was this ad for some language school, where the family get in the car and the song in the radio is "I wanna f*** in the a**", at first they look surprised but as they do not understand they start swaying to the rythm : D Why happy as a Schnitzel is weird, but happy as a clam is not? : D As a person who works with Americans through the phone (and English is not my native language) I feel pretty good with understanding accents, but imitating them is impossible to me : ) With German I feel like I understand a lot, in my head my sentences sound awesome and I end up with saying "eeeeh, na jaaa...." : D I would love to meet up with you too, you seem super cool. Greetings from a Pole (who learned few languages, but learning is not equal to knowing : D English, German, Latin, Dutch and Spanish)

  3415. I think the vegetarian and veganism in the United States is decreasing for two reasons. Both of which you outlined. If you’re out and about, it’s difficult to find vegan or vegetarian options at a lot of restaurants. People get tired of eating the same limited thing. Plus, these companies like Beyond have priced themselves out of the reach of a lot of people. Vegan cheese is absolutely ridiculously priced. They are gouging people because the people that care enough about eating vegan will pay the price. But their pricing discourages new people from eating that way.

  3417. I went to Catholic and public schools in Massachusetts in Maine in the eighties. In my Catholic grade school we had books on human biology with the naked man and woman just like you had in Germany. In middle school in Maine, we had a woman from Planned Parenthood showing us how to put a condom on a small zucchini. In high school, we had the full course on contraceptives, venereal disease, abortion. We were also told about the difference between "intercourse" and "outercourse." We also had a presentation by Maine Right to Life on abortion (which seems pretty crazy to me, looking back on it, given how fraught the politics of all this were and are even more so today) which was just as graphic as all the pictures we'd previously seen of genitalia afflicted with various sexually transmitted diseases. Then, we had a Planned Parenthood "non directive ethics" section where we were told all about the law regarding pregnancy (if you are male, and get a girl pregnant, you have no say on what happens to your child: she can abort, give the child up for adoption, or keep it without marrying you, in which case you will have to pay child support until the child is 18) and then told we needed to figure out how we were supposed to behave based on that information. It was all enough to put a a teenager of sex altogether, forever.. Which I suppose was the objective. The planet can't handle more babies, and our parents wanted us to behave ourselves, after all..

  3420. Elections can be called early, but usually as a result of a vote on confidence regarding the Chancellor. The Chancellor can ofc call for such a vote and have his party and/or coalition to vote against him which will then result in new election. That is actualla how Merkerl became Chancellor the first time after Chancellor Schröder forced an early new elections that way.
    3
  3421. The president of the federal republic is able to arrange new elections, not the chancellor. He needs a "vote of no confidence" (Misstrauensvotum) in the Bundestag for that. We had this situation in 2005.

  3425. My daughter leaves tomorrow from Michigan to the University of Freiburg. I am excited for her, but very nervous as a parent. It's her 3rd trip to Germany, but I still worry. I wonder if it still has any effect on your parents with all your coming and going? She speaks pretty good German (as far as I am told as I don't speak/understand it - lol), but I don't know if she has the German accents down as good as your English (or so she says). Anyway, I turned her on to your channel. We are both entertained by your content! Keep it up!

  3429. Like I have commented before, my time in Sweden at a young age (15) has influenced me in a very positive way. When I arrived I took very few clothes and only one pair of shoes because I planned on totally immersing myself in Swedish culture. In hind sight this was spot on as I assimilated right in and when I left it was hard as I missed the differences that Sweden offered. Sweden tends to be a very tolerant culture and very open minded. I am happy to hear that it sounds like you have approached a new country and culture in much the same way and we Americans are the benefactors as you are an amazing outgoing person well deserving of a green card! I make a point to try to watch as many videos of yours as I can as they are always a pleasure. Keep up the great work that you are doing!

  3434. My family and I are going to Oktoberfest in Munich! I’ve been watching your videos since we’ll be in Germany for 2 weeks. I’m so excited! I hope I run into you lol

  3435. Hallo Falicia! Hope your weekend has been going well. 👍🏻 Always wanted to drive on the Autobahn... Wish America had highways like that. Stay safe & healthy. 🍺🍻🍺

  3436. Miss Felicia, you're an absolute joy to watch. I look forward to each of your videos & have found myself going back & watching the ones I missed before I found your channel. It's great to hear another perspective while learning more about a country I've always been interested in, Germany. Glad you found your way to the US, it's people like you that help make this country great.

  3437. Your observational skills are impressive young lady. I hope you and another Cincinnati youtuber named Clancy Burke would do a collab. It would be very interesting.
    3
  3438. I’m trying out the app and I love seeing you in it! It does feel more natural like speaking directly with someone. I like it!
    3
  3439. I really enjoyed Germany when I was there many years ago. Spent 4 months there when in my 20's. Got to go to Oktoberfest in Munich (Munchen). One of the few places in the world that I'd like to live other than the U.S.
    3
  3440. Great informative video. I would love to have another with proper pronunciations, but you will have to speak much slower and repeat the sounds! LOL. Congratulations on your success on YouTube.

  3441. @Feli - Does Germany have "Crazy cat ladies"? In America these are women who have 20 - 30 indoor cats. If you talk about circumcision add to that if how common is it for German women to have breast enhancement surgery and if the sale of male enhancement products is as common as it is here in the US. The short videos are great. Keep making them.
    3
  3442. I‘d love to see a second video!
    3
  3443. As always, such a great video Feli! Don't feel bad about the locks here in the US. I was born and raised here and I can never remember which way to turn to unlock the lock. Also, congrats on 80K subscribers! It's increasing so fast!

  3444. I think Ben should read out loud a children's book in German for the channel.

  3452. unglaublich, dass ich Deinen Kanal erst jetzt gefunden habe - Ich finde es super, dass Du unsere Heimat und Kultur so transparent, offen und auf den Punkt rüber bringst. Danke dafür, dass Du das ein oder andere Klischee, welches bei vielen US Bürgern über uns Deutsche im Kopf herrscht etwas entkräften konntest, im Gegenzug dazu kann ich (ohne bisher in den Staaten gewesen zu sein) sagen, dass ich einiges über die USA und vor allem deren Mentalität lerne, was mich dazu bewegt hat das ich 2020 auf jeden Fall einen 3 wöchigen Trip durch die USA zu machen um den Lifestyle, die Herzlichkeit und die Leute persönlich zu erleben. Danke dafür, frohe Weihnachten für Dich (ich hoffe im Kreis deiner liebsten) sowie einen guten Rutsch. So und jetzt schaue ich mir Deine anderen Videos auch noch an :-)

  3461. Hallo, Fraulin Felicia: When you'd asked if people would like to see an updated version of your "Dating Scene In Germany" post I personally would love to see an updated version of this video

  3462. Great topic, and terrific video. Addiction is often a response to social isolation, hopelessness, cultural exclusion, all things the American way of life perpetuate, in contrast to the sense of belonging that is pervasive in Europe, to a large degree. Add in for-profit medical and pharmaceutical industries that actively market and promote their products, and who dump huge amounts of cash to supressing and controlling contradictory evidence, and you have a recipe for an epidemic. Top it off with further marginalization of addicted people, and they slip further down into the isolation, hopelessness, and exclusion. The predominant attitude in the U.S. is one of "rugged individualism" where the individual is on his or her own, and deemed responsible for their own plight.

  3467. This video is very professional and a lot of hard work went into it. I can see Feli getting work with the Travel Channel, Globetrekker or one of those travel shows. She could be a presenter or a producer.

  3468. No way! 😍 You both together in a video. 👍

  3470. Nice channel Felicia - I've enjoyed many of your vids - good learning tool. But I'm wondering how your english is at such a high level - almost native speaking skills. I know many german families all across Germany, and all have very distinct german accents when speaking english. You don't have this - and your english is probably better than most americans. And, you've been in Cincinnati on/off for the last few years - Cincinnati is the beginning of the 'southern accent' for Ohioans. If you're learning from them, their accent will influence the english you learn - and I'm not hearing that at all in your speech. Plus, your personality and energy is great - very outgoing - which is very different from all the germans I have met. Germans are wonderful people, but they are more reserved, and conservative compared to you. You are more like an 80's american girl (a compliment - too many american millennials are obsessed with their cell phones, affecting how they communicate and interact with others - big problem here). Keep up the good job with your channel - you should be a german diplomat! Best Wishes ~

  3472. The 5th one was a culture shock to me. 😲 I didn’t understand how policemen and their cars would just settle down the interstate, shoulder, or curve waiting to catch a wreckless driver. It reminds me of Sheriff from Pixar Cars who was sleeping on the fields of Radiator Springs only to find a speeding Lightning McQueen winding up on town. 🚓

  3476. Loved the vlog content... so glad you guys were able to stay safe while traveling to Myrtle Beach, and glad you were all able to have a great time too! So yeah, more vlogs please. You're almost @ 100k, can you believe it? I think I've been subbed since like 5k or so - back to 2016 ish. Lovely to see how far your channel has grown in such a short time. Keep up the great work Feli.

  3486. Hi again Felicia, congrats on 20K+. And belated congrats on completing grad school! What bachelor and masters degrees did you get from Univ of Cinti? Since it sounds like you're no longer a student, where do you work now and what kind of work do you do?
    3
  3487. I've never seen any of your videos before. For some reason YouTube included you in videos I might interested in watching. I absolutely found it interesting. I like learning about other cultures/countries. Hearing your POV of Germany and America was interesting. Looking forward to watching more. 👍
    3
  3488. I was more of a Astrid Lindgren and Otfried Preusler child 😂 My mum never read the Grimm fairytales to me as a child. I did read most of them in elementary school once I learned reading, so I am familiar with them, but my first introduction would have been the Disney Version. (At least with the older movies, not those that came out afterwards.)

  3489. A++ Nice job! Reasons to own would be you are limited in what you can do in a rental [landscaping, interior decoration] and each month, your rent does nothing to build your own personal wealth. How our retirement works in the US factors in to home ownership. It is wise to own your home and have it paid off when you wish to retire. Since we don't have the level of social infrastructure Germany does [especially healthcare], when we graduate to a fixed income, we have to be sure we have our expenses carefully controlled to pay for health insurance, taxes and so on. Renting carries no stigma unless you're renting in public housing/public assistence.

  3490. hahaha Feli, "I am americanized already, I am the 'light version'!"....... Danke für den Lacher! Du hast sicherlich recht damit, aber das kam soooo trocken rüber. 🤣

  3495.  @FelifromGermany  I feel dumb rn. I shouldn't have commented on something when I didn't hear the whole context. That was stupid on my part. Next time, I will not do that. Thanks for being professional with me Feli, despite being ignorant for a moment.
    3
  3496. Hello, I am trying to teach myself German so I started talking to my cats in German. Oddly they seem to understand it better than English! I tap my couch and say Kommen sie! and they jump up next to me! I wander around singing little songs to them in German (probably with very poor grammar) as a way to practice common words. Thank you for your Videos.

  3497. AWESOME work on this video, Feli!!

  3498. Ich finds cool dass deine Videos auf english sind weil dann lern ich auch noch mehr!

  3499. As a matter of fact (dafür wurde ich von meiner High School in Idaho 1982 gefeiert) ist das Deutsch vom Josh richtig endgeil! Das schönste Gefühl im gemeinsamen Miteinander ist, zwischen den Sprachen zu wechseln, OHNE es selbst zu bemerken. Just do it...

  3500. You go girl! You’re so genuine and kind. This is why I watch. Great content and creator!

  3501. Ich will dir einfach mal danken! Spätestens seit Corona verfolge ich deinen Kanal, frische meine Englischkenntnisse auf und lerne viel über die kulturellen Differenzen! Du bist herzerfrischend!

  3512. Spent 3 years in Germany, '76-'79, Frankfurt am Main. Thoroughly enjoyed it...except the long, gray, winter days. Narrow streets? Not many US streets have been there since the time of Luther or before! Christmas decorations? We absolutely loved the Weinachts Markt on the Romer Platz and the Gluhwein! Shopping at the Kaufhof was a treat, and our neighborhood backerei and metzgerei treats sure went well with the Henninger brau! Looking forward to more videos.....

  3513. I lived in Germany for 8 years....I can appreciate your perspective on the differences...

  3531. I'll be having a tiny house built soon, and wanted to try and give it a german feel. I'm really hoping the builder could install the outlets, light switches, and windows the same way. Funny u mentioned that part about the bathroom light switch outside the bathroom. I messed with my ex witht that when we had visited for the first time.

  3532. Yes, we have the Grimms’ Fairy Tales book that my Mom had as a child. Pretty cool!

  3533. Fantastic video Feli - As a native English speaker (and German learner) I really felt like I gained new insight! For example, I never realized "Die Polizei" is singular - I always thought it was plural. I know you mentioned in the video (@1:42) that you sometimes wish people would actually point out mistakes to you, so I have just a couple of small nitpicks: @10:56, you mentioned that you don't think there are any scenarios where one would use the present tense with "since," but there actually can be - e.g. "Since I live in Berlin, I like to read German newspapers." Admittedly, this is a different usage of the word "since" than the example in your video - here it's being used as a subordinating conjunction rather than a preposition, but it's something to be mindful of, nonetheless. @13:33, you imply that "fish" is uncountable, however, in the sense you're using it, it actually is countable, it's just that the plural happens to also be "fish." So you would say, "Fish are swimming in the pond," (but never, *"Fish is swimming in the pond.") Uncountable nouns would always take a singular verb, e.g., "Milk was a bad choice!" or "Art is dead!" Also, while "hair" can be uncountable in sentences like, "My hair is falling out," (not *"My hair are falling out."), sometimes "hair" can also be countable, e.g. "I tore twenty hairs off my head while trying to master English grammar..." And just to really compound the confusion, "fish" can sometimes be uncountable - e.g. "Fish is the poissonier's specialty." Overall, I have to seriously compliment you, Feli: English grammar is a rich tapestry of confusingly overlapping minefields, but you navigate it quite deftly - moreso than many native English speakers!
    3
  3534. This is the most important contribution on your channel I have seen so far. Thanks a lot! Sometimes I had discussions with people from the USA about freedom of speech, and it was not easy to explain why it is necessary to limit freedom of speech to protect it from those who abuse it to destroy it.

  3535. i don't even speak german, but came across your channel and love it! you are so entertaining and have such interesting content! will keep watching and maybe pick up a little german!

  3536. Congratulations Feli! You earned this award because of all you do for this community. Your videos are so much fun to watch. And living in Cincinnati doesn’t hurt!

  3537. Hi Feli, vielen Dank für dieses ausgezeichnete Video. Wenn ich Dich nicht längst abonniert hätte würde ich es jetzt auf jeden Fall tun. Dies ist wirklich eines Deiner besten, wenn nicht das beste Video von Dir..!! - Du wirst immer besser und das bleibt hoffentlich auch in 2022 so, und darüber hinaus..!? Bis dahin: "guten Rutsch ins neue"...

  3538. I love the german accent. I just wished i could practice more. I love listening to Feli speak. Her voice is beautiful . This guys german is a pipe dream. I could only dream of speaking half as well as he does (sound wise let alone grammatically). I used to live in northern kentucky, and now central kentuky with friends in Heilbron/neckarsulm area who i speak with reguarly (mostly english). When visiting that area the schwäbisch dialect is harsh to understand. I still have problems to this day.

  3539. Thank you so much for pointing out, and for providing, the English subtitles for the German parts! I would have had no idea what they were talking about

  3544. May I be reborn as a German in my next life. I really liked this video.
    3
  3545. I am totally with you. Also in my opinion it is important to teach about birth conrol, health savety, etc.. I totally understand the religios concerns because a lot of americans are way more relgios than germans. However, also in marriage it´s good to know about birth control, etc. It´s fine to mention abstinence as savest way or to discuss in religion class but I think it´s important to teach knowlegde of how your body works.

  3546. Now imagine explaining why you speak German as an Austrian, whose country is by the way called Österreich by natives...

  3547. Ach Feli am Morgen vertreibt Kummer und Sorgen. :-) In Oesterreich bin ich natuerlich mit den Grimm Versionen aufgewachsen, bis auf die Dornroeschen Version, davon hoere ich zum ersten Mal.

  3549. Thanks for the random differences. Maybe you can do a second series in the future?

  3550. Karl-Konrad Klotzkopf Um Felis Erklärung noch etwas allgemeiner zu formulieren: Im Englischen sind durch die Zeitformen Bedeutungen grammtikalisiert, die im Deutschen durch Lexik ausdrückt werden. Es ist also nicht so, dass man in einem bestimmten Zusammenhang immer nur eines verwenden kann. Ob du das eine oder das andere verwenden solltest, hängt davon ab, was du ausdrücken möchtest. Wenn im Deutschen zum Ausdrücken deines Gedanken „schon mal“ gut passt. Dann passt im Englischen sehr oft present perfect verwendet. Passt im Deutschen „damals“, dann simple past. Bei „gerade“, „in diesem Moment“ passen continuous Formen.

  3551. Welcome to America. I hope you will consider becoming a citizen. I just want to say that, despite what some commenters here may say, it doesn't matter who you are, where you are from, or what may have happened in the past. The creed of America is that ALL persons have the right to be as individuals, free to make their own choices as to how to live their lives. Obey the laws as set down where you live. respect your neighbors. and try to understand the essential truths laid down by our founders: We are all created equal. That doesn't mean we are equal, but we all have the right, and the ability to prosper according to what we will do, and we want to do. It's up to you. No lord, master or should tell you how to live. Anyone who does is a pretender and a fool. I hope that you will prosper here. Good luck to you. I wish for you happiness.

  3554. You know I love you Feli so I have to point out your pronunciation of "stinginess". It is pronounced "stin · jee · nuhs". You're the BEST!

  3555. How about naming German food (dishes).

  3556. Thank you for covering this! That was such an important speech to all people.

  3563. These are some interesting laws indeed. I'm curious if the average German knows about these or are they like some of our laws here in America, for instance in my home state of Florida, (if 5 or more indigenous people are on your property they're considered a war party and you can "defend" your home 😳🙄) yet we haven't struck that from our books....🤔

  3566. Hello Felicia, I just came across your site here and wanted to say welcome and congratulations on all you have accomplished so far in your brief stay here in this country so far. It appears you are well on your way to finding your way into a career that will end up suiting you in such a way that will make you not only happy, but will also make you a very successful young lady. You are already very well spoken and carry yourself in a truly professional manner which I am certain will serve you very well. This is just the first video of yours that I have looked at, so I have no questions at this time as I will first take a look at a few more if it's alright with you? Other than that for now, take care and welcome again to America...:) Mark

  3571. Sooo true!! Here in London we all say “Merc” when referring to a Mercedes-Benz 😂 We also call BMW’s “Beemers” 😂.. I came across your video by chance, and found it to be very informative, thanks! Btw, your spoken English is great too! 😉

  3572. I'm pretty shocked about how many people in the komments consider spanking normal. WTF is up with you all? No one deseves physical punishment. ESPECIALLY NOT children. That's just abuse of the fact that an adult is physically stronger than a child. There are always other solutions than violence and if you can't help yourself reach out for (professional) help. For your childrens sake. They will thank you later with a better relationship between you when they are older.

  3574. This was a very interesting video, danke sehr Feli! I live in a city/region in Southern Ontario, Canada, Kitchener-Waterloo, that has a very significant Amish/Mennonite population (enough so that the grocery stores, hardware stores near the towns where they have their farms have horse stables for them to 'park' while doing their shopping). Kitchener used to be called Berlin, so we have historically had a large German population here (further evidenced by having the largest Oktoberfest, globally, outside of Munchen). I used to work at our local Farmer's Market when I was in high school, and worked alongside many Mennonites. Being German and understanding a great deal of the language, I was able to follow much of their conversations - but they definitely had some unique dialects & pronunciations of certain words! Very nice people!

  3585. I think this is something that was widely accepted a few decades ago in US. Like when I was a kid everyone got their cats declawed. I dont know of any cat owner who has done this. I say this as someone who owns two cats and is fairly well involved in the local cat community. Its really seen as unacceptable these days.

  3586. You really have to do this regularly. It's fun and interresting to watch you both! You are so sympathetic. 🤭
    3
  3587. Hi Felicia. You speak English exceedingly well. You diction is very exact, if that is the word I want. Pointed. Most Americans of my acquaintance slur their words a bit more. It seems to me that your accent is faintly Canadian. Is that an attribute of German being your first language, or is it the way you learned English (perhaps from an English accented rather than an American accented teacher)? Thanks. You have entertaining videos.
    3
  3588. Du bist sehr sympatisch. Tolle Videos, die du machst :)
    3
  3589. This was good stuff, Felisha. It gives me more thing gs to talk about with my friend from Germany. You explain things so well, too. I hope you make a 2nd video of words like this. Keep doing what you do so well and, Stay Gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  3593.  @dontcareimacat7821  In Germany due to historical reasons this is a point not everybody wants to discuss.From my point of view it is more important where you grew up than where your anchestors come from. I think this is a general german point of view.

  3594. You have such an effervescent personality and your videos are a joy to watch. You represent Germany well to your 225 thousand subscribers, but welcome to the United States!

  3595. Neben Englisch und Deutsch ist es echt spannend so ein bisschen auf eure Körpersprache zu achten. Die verrät mehr als alle Worte in Englisch und Deutsch. Auf jeden Fall eine sehr gute Idee für Videos, sehr cool, sehr unterhaltsam definitiv.

  3596. I also forgot to mention that in Puerto Rico we keep the Xmas tree and decorations up until 8 days (Las Octavitas / The Octaves) after the Three Wise Men Day and then the tree is taken down. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorklatinculture.com/las-octavitas/%3famp Normally the tree is kept until Feb 2nd in wish we call "El Día de la Candelaria" in wish signifies de end of the Christmas Season in Puerto Rico. We celebrate Feb 2nd with a huge bonfire in wish we use the dried Christmas trees to light. http://www.elboricua.com/february.html

  3606. Die Offizielle Profibezeichnung für einen Zollstock ist "Gliedermaßstab" Ich glaube, wir benutzen ihn noch aus purer Tradition. Ein Maßband ist viel genauer, beim Zollstock kann leicht ein Gelenk abgeknickt sein, und die Fehlertoleranz summiert sich auf. Ich glaube, er wird auch in Deutschland langsam aber sicher aussterben.

  3612. Ob im Radio die Explicit oder die Clean Version eines Songs läuft, das entscheiden die Stationen in Dtl. selber. Bei sehr konservativen Radiostationen, die auch in ihrer Sprache und wie sie mit ihren Hörern reden sehr gediegen klingen, die bleiben auch in der Musik sehr konservativ und spielen die Clean Version. Das betrifft vor allem Stationen, die ein älteres Zielpublikum haben oder die ein Familienprogramm machen, dass auch verstärkt Kinder ansprechen soll.Bei Radiostationen, die vor allem Teens und Twens ansprechen soll, die haben kein Problem mit den Explicit Versionen. Denn die Regelung über das wegbleepen ist nämlich in Deutschland und in den USA anders geregelt. Wörter wie Fuck, Shit sind in Deutschland auch im Deutschen durchaus erlaubt, außer sie sprechen die ganz jungen Menschen an. Da werden Schimpfwörter auch hier weggebleept. Aber es ist durchaus bei den Radiostationen immer Thema, ob man die Clean oder Explicit Versionen spielt. Es gibt sogar Songs, die haben neben der Explicit und Clean Version, ab und an sogar eine Radio Version. Die kann entweder nicht ganz so glatt sein wie die Clean Version oder sogar schärfer ausfallen als die Clean Version. Ich glaub von dem Fuck Song existieren unterschiedliche zensierte Fassungen des Songs.

  3617. Felicia, I think you're awesome! Your content and perspective is very interesting. I have been an avid NFL football fan since 1985 and am a Pat's fan ever since the Grogan years. Did watch before that, especially remember the Steelers Iron Curtain defense, but as far as I recall, I became a serious fan in '85 (Chicago vs New England in Superbowl)
    3
  3618. There’s no reason in the world why you would be able to pronounce Greenwich correctly. That’s because it’s one of the completely illogical pronunciations that the US inherited from England. Actually, when I lived in England for years ago I was constantly caught flat-footed by British names that I mispronounced. Next time you’re in the Boston area try asking for directions to Worcester. Outside of New England this is a name that 90% of Americans would mispronounce.

  3620. Mass/public transit is very good in pretty much all of Europe. At least it was when I lived in Germany from 1982-1984, not sure about it in "Eastern Europe" (former Soviet Bloc countries). I don't know if they still do this, but they do not close public restrooms for cleaning. The "cleaning lady" just comes in and cleans, no matter what.

  3621. you're amazing. great video.

  3639. Tolles Video. Gerne ein Video mit Sprichwörter.

  3640. Dick in English also means detective, especially when spoken in the early to mid-20th century. In the 1973 movie The Sting (set in 1936) when a character said, "He's a dick though", many modern moviegoers thought he meant jerk. Actually, he meant detective. There was a 20th century comic book police detective named Dick Tracy.

  3647. Hi Felicia, Wonderful video a usual. Briggs is a comedian and, like others have said, his lists are meant to be as light hearted as possible. He likes doing Top good things about places lists too but I believe has mentioned his to 10 bad things lists get more views and requests. I also believe he is in his 50's which would mean his uncle was in likely in Germany in the 50's or 60's. My mother was from Germany and I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work. 😊

  3648. I remember some of my german friends told me at their Uni in Bayern (Passau) they have a Harry Potter quiddich league🤯. I always thought that was quite amusing but awesome 😅.

  3651. It’s been really cool to watch this channel go from dead (not in viewer count but there was a period where you weren’t uploading anything anymore) to this explosion in subs. You deserve it all. If you do setup a patreon, there will be many (including myself) who will be more than willing to throw a few dollars a month at you to help in production. I do wonder if it might kill some of the joy you have in doing this as you might feel more pressure (or an obligation) to upload things within a certain timeframe (because x amount of people paid x amount this month) whereas up until now (I believe) you’ve just been doing it when you want. Essentially, it might start to feel like a second job rather than a hobby. Sorry for the wall of text and congrats!

  3654. Von jungen Leuten wird immer mehr und mehr englisch in deutschen Sätzen verwendet, vor allem wenn es um IT oder Spiele geht. Youtube trägt da viel dazu bei wenn ich meiner Tochter zusehe wie sie bei Twitch einen englischen Stream verfolgt. Da hört man dann englische Begriffe und wenn sie dann mit einer Freundin am Telefon darüber spricht werden manche Wörter "eingedeutscht". "Gedownloaded" is glaub ich das beste Beispiel für so ein Wort. Herunter geladen ist doch nicht schwierig zu merken aber man hört gedownloaded einfach zu oft so das man es dann selbst verwendet. "Das musst du downloaden"......"Das musst du herunterladen" sagt kaum jemand :) Schlimm ist nur bei älteren Generationen wie meinen Eltern zum Beispiel. Die haben ja schon Probleme sich mit einem PC zureht zu finden, verstehen zwar schon ein wenig englisch aber wenn dann solche verworrenen Wörter vorkommen steigen sie natürlich vollkommen aus :)

  3660. I am from Louisiana and must say Mardi Gras is a must a least once. We have a lot of parades. My 2 favorites are Spanish Town in Baton Rouge and Bacchus in New Orleans. Mardi Gras also has alot of good music and food. I have never heard of mustard filled donuts but we do have King Cake which is great. If you get the slice with the baby in it you are supposted to buy the next one. We also have crawfish boils which are a lot of fun to. I do not see how anyone could not come to it and not have a good time.
    3
  3661. Very much enjoyed your video. I did myself live internationally when I was younger, and did have many American and German friends, together with friends of all nationalities. I did learn from my American friends that many Germans settled in America in the 1840s, and many of the northern states of the USA have many people of German descent, together with German surnames. In some parts of more heavily German settled parts of the USA, families would often speak German together, and English in the wider population. There are so many links historically between the USA and Germany, thanks for informing us about the modern-day ones.

  3665. Congrats! As someone who was stationed in the Army in Germany in the 80's i wish we had the internet/ utube before i went there it would have helped so much. It's great for US military members that will go to Germany to get a head start on German life. Also for others who have other plans on going to Germany. I still find it interesting to see things you have to say about the German people. Sure cultures and generations change over time but for the most part things stay the same including the USA

  3667. Well done Feli. I've enjoyed many of your videos. I don't really want to say I enjoyed this one, but only because the subject matter is so challenging that it perhaps sounds a bit trite to say I've actually enjoyed it. Let me just say while I didn't 'enjoy' it, I truly think it's your most important video. Once again, well done; more power to you, girl.

  3668. Squirrel, Eichhörnchen, écureuil in french, quite difficult to prononce to foreigner too. For the German speaking it's a bit like äküröje 😄

  3671. It sounds as if Felecia put more work into Briggs' video than Briggs did!. It appears that guy got his crime stats from the Neo-Nazis. There are some things hard about speaking German, but he picked all the wrong ones. Compound words are not that tough. Having a lot of different words for the word "the" is tougher. Having to remember the gender of thousands of words and use gender in sentences seems unnecessary, not to mention strange for an English speaker. Ironically, that Mark Twain essay that Briggs mentioned criticized German for being too soft in tone, for instance, complaining the German word for "hell" (Hölle) sounds like "holly". When i was a kid, U.S. media still portrayed German as very harsh, in terms of Adolf Hitler shouting out warlike words. SO HERE ARE MY Top 10 Reasons not to move to Germany: 10] I'm not allowed to leave my house because of this damn virus. 9] Reports of German grandmothers watching from windows and doorways for any violations of social norms. 8] Lower quality of American football... although, come to think of it, maybe not lower than the Bengals. 7] Too much Europop. 6] Easier and cheaper to get a degree in nuclear physics than a German driver's license. (As in a recent GGIC video) 5] When you try to have your kids reenact Hansel & Gretel at a picturesque river, you find out that Mute Swans are a--holes. 4] No German teams to cheer for in Battlebots. 3] Apparently you can't go out looking like a slob. Where's the freedom?? 2] Raw pork considered as something desirable to eat. 1] When you go looking for fireworks on the 4th of July, the place is just dead.

  3676. In the middle of the video, I had to see what the remaining runtime was, because it was so interesting, and I didn’t want it to end soon. So, I’m waiting for another part now! :) Concerning different dialects every few kilometers in Germany: in the TV show Wetten dass...? there was once a guy who had several people speak a certain sentence to him, and he was able to tell astonishingly precisely, where this person came from.

  3681. Ein richtig schönes Video! Würde mir gefallen wenn ihr noch eins zusammen machen würdet, über Redewendungen und co. :) Ich finde es auch ziemlich lustig das Josh seine Deutschlehrerin aus Thüringen kommt. Komme auch aus der Nähe von Erfurt. Ich musste lachen, als es darum ging das der Akzent etwas sächsisch klingt, als Thüringer fühlt es sich wie normales Hochdeutsch an. Sobald man aber in einem anderen Bundesland ist, wird man gleich gefragt ob man aus Sachsen kommt. 😂 Wünsche euch beiden noch viel Spaß und Erfolg 😇

  3682. Felicia, your English pronunciation is awesome., as if it matters.

  3683. This is really one of the best YouTube videos of this genre. You're very inciteful!

  3684. my mom is German, she always would end sentences with "neh?" I am not sure how to spell it, but that is what it sounded like. I heard other Germans say that as well.

  3685. Good to see you had fun at the festival and survived the storm to. 🙂
    3
  3686. Tremendous presentation, great video 👍. Informative and enjoyable. You really broke everything down well. I love America and would probably never live anywhere else. As far as visiting I thought maybe Berlin but most likely not. There is no way I could make it without air-conditioning. Munich was never mentioned so I'm thinking that's one of the nicest places.
    3
  3687. Felichen!! The MOST IMPORTANT SUGGESTION I can give you for learning German (I had about 3 years of it in College) is to REVIEW ENGLISH GRAMMAR FIRST. Students need to know all about the various parts of speech ..ie. what are Nouns, Pronouns, Articles (Definite and Indefinite) Verbs (transitive and intransitive) Adverbs, Cases Of Nouns (Nominative, Accusative, Dative and Genitive) Tenses, Syntax the idea of Conjugation and "Person" in conjugating...plus LOTS MORE. There is a BOOK AVAILABLE from AMAZON called "English Grammar for Students of German" by Zarach, Melin & Oberlin..$19.95. I would suggest to ANY student to read and review using that book (about 165 pages long) It's BEST if you know as much of this grammar before heading to class because these ideas WILL ALL come up as you progress through the German material.I hope you find that helpful!! Tschuess!

  3700. New subscriber! I love hearing about America from an outsider. Its good to know what our impressions are! I also love how friendly our culture are as well. Last year, my hubby, and my 16 year old daughter and I were on vacation in Phoenix (we are from Iowa). We went to a 4th of July festival. We took public transit, and there was obviously a huge crowd of people on the platform at the end of the night, trying to get back home. It was around 120 degrees F, and my daughter started getting overheated, and then her anxiety kicked in with so many people around us. We had paper fans from the festival, so I had her sit down on my feet and my hubby and I were waving our fans on her, trying to cool her down. A few people around us saw what was happening, and everyone backed up a little bit, giving her more space and everyone pulled out their paper fans and started waving them on her as well. It was so nice of all of them, and they were all concerned. We were able to cool her down and head off a full blown panic attack. I feel things like this happen all the time here, no matter where you are. People genially care about each other and are always willing to help.

  3705. thanks for explaining the “Angst” when I was just scrolling on Youtube saw many english videos with “ Angst” and I never knew why they used a german word because they have fear and being scared.

  3707. I can completely relate to the last point - one of the times I was in Mexico for my last job, my coworker told me he could tell I learned Spanish in school because of how proper I spoke 😂 Now I have been learning French the last couple years and will be moving to France once restrictions are lifted, so I am much more aware of trying to make sure I speak with more colloquial words! But you guys are right - people are just impressed you are trying, even if using more slang and common phrases (even if technically incorrect) can be a struggle!

  3708. I totally agree with tenses. When I started to learn German I was already taught English and I thought that there would come next 16 tenses or more to learn, but nothing like that happened. In fact Present Tense and Past Perfect are quite enough for me unless I don't wanna say sth in so called "Indirekte Rede" ;)

  3711. The umlaut pronunciation vidoe would be very helpful! :D Thanks as always for such great videos on how to pronounce things in German. Been learning the language for only one year and my best friend lives in Germany, so I love your videos!
    3
  3712. I’ve been binge watching your videos. They’re a lot of fun. You’re super cute, with a pretty smile. Have you ever talked to the other German you tubers, dominik get Germanized, katja D.F.E, and trixi rabbit
    3
  3713. Yes, please. This is great. Sometimes I even understand a noun or adjective as it goes by. Some questions come to mind. Questions about dubbing American TV shows into German. What happens to jokes that don't translate well or at all? Do they leave it be, and hope that it makes sense in context, when that might work? What about word play or idioms? Or ambiguous sentences that lose their ambiguity when translated, which makes the confusion impossible? Do they just write new jokes? Some things relating to Howard, or to Bernadette's Polish ancestors, might be a bit tricky to keep funny. Did you ever switch to German or English to speak privately, and then find out the other person understood what you said? St. Louis is like Cincinnati in that a lot of Germans settled here. I know enough German to know some things are just said wrong. Does it bother you when you hear an American pronunciation of a German proper noun -- street name, surname -- because English lacks some German consonant and vowel sounds? Mayor Schoemehl. Spoede Road. Volkswagen. How about the reverse: American or English words or proper names that use "th" (either sound), "w", "j", "g"? How hard was it to learn the sounds that don't exist in your first language?

  3714. Fascinating insights into some of these companies I learned a lot. Thanks Feli.

  3715. Hi from peru love your videos 🇵🇪😊
    3
  3716. Great video You reminded me of something I did when I was there. Yes that was annoying to have someone ride your bumper when driving over there. So I asked my land lady there to write me a message in German and it said 'Wenn Sie näher kommen, stellen Sie sich bitte vor' I put it on a small card large enough to read and put it my the back window of my car. I got allot of flashed lights and I would just wave back. Who knows what people were thinking when they saw that hopefully good. I had my nationality decal on my car so they knew I was an American.

  3717. I love, love love your smile and optimism. You really make my day. I am so glad you enjoy the USA! Have a great one, take care and keep making videos!

  3718. Having lived in Germany for many years I agree will all 10 points. Of course everyplace has its pluses and minuses, good and bad. Things I love about Germany: Bier! Food, Automobiles especially Porsche, travel, other beautiful and interesting countries are close by -- especially our favorite vacation place, Kaltern am See in Südtirol. History, and all the colorful villages, towns and cities. Currywurst! :-) And especially my old home town, Heidelberg! Ich hab mein Herz in Heidelberg Verloren! My wife was born and raised there. I had to laugh about your observation about people being kind of judgmental and maybe a little nosey. Hanging out the windows looking what everyone else is doing. "Did you know so-and-so bought a Mercedes? He is a Gardener, that's not proper for a Gardner, and how can he afford that anyway?" :-) Have to compliment you are your English language skills -- amazing! And you are so articulate! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on all of the topics that you cover! Very enjoyable! BTW, my wife's cousin's son and wife live in Munich and we attended their wedding @ Frauenchemsee last summer. Munich and the surrounding area is a very beautiful part of Germany! Stay safe and healthy and keep these excellent Vlogs coming!

  3719. We have a linen closet full of flat (top) sheets that have literally never been used... they come with every sheet set. Honestly wish the option was common to opt out of including (buying) the flat sheet in a set. Ours is simple... fitted sheet, seasonally adjusted blanket... that's it. :) Fun episode!!

  3720. Great video......when I was living in Germany it seemed the most important thing for a male adult was his car, his dog and then his family, in that order....😎

  3721. Wow!! This vid put the biggest smile on my face! Thank you. Really got the feeling! Too happy to even feel jealous.

  3722. 8:48 „Toastbrot“ is in Germany that special white toastbread you buy for toasting at home, because you can not buy that already toasted in the shop. I wonder how many Germans would eat that untoasted.

  3723. So interesting! I wish I would have known about the German-American Friendship Garden and all of this when I was in DC a decade ago. Thank you for doing this, Feli!

  3728. This video was hilarious (in a good way) and true. I guess the German people take things very literal. I have friends that were stationed in the Army in Germany and I've only heard great things about their time there.

  3729. Great video, Feli.. So well done and I really loved your description of the way it is celebrated here and in Germany. I also love your smile and energy.. Very well done!😊

  3730. So much fun to listen to the both of you! Again, Josh, I'm blown away by your level of German! Here is Switzerland we definitely have parallels to Bavarian. Now, about the Boston vs New York accent: Feli, you would 100% be able to distinguish the two! "Pahk the cah in Hah-vahr yahd" I would enjoy a "Sprichwort" edition of your collab.

  3731. Very well done. You’re easy to listen to and comprehend. Thank you.

  3732.  @SuperBizalz  Not only is spanking psychologically harmful for children, it doesn't actually teach kids much (except being afraid of their parents). If a kid has done something wrong, TALK to them. Explain why. Sure, it requires more work that just hitting them, but corporal punishment IS abuse. Period.

  3733. For us Austrians & Germans, excessive bureaucracy is in our DNA and we grow up with it. An American would probably go nuts and be like WTF ? But we here are used to every little thing being documented and regulated. 😊

  3736. That sounds like a fun trip and a really decent price for all that is included. I hope to go someday, but I should probably learn some German first... and also get a passport. :)

  3737. "Pedal to the metal" is "Vollgas geben" The pedal in question is the gas pedal, which when all the way to the metal floor of the car, is all the way to the metal and giving full gas to the engine :) As a Canadian living here in Germany, I often feel that same bit regarding people not respecting personal space, but then, my wife (who is German born and raised and who has lived here all her life) gets annoyed by such people too. I also feel the apology apathy here too (even from my wife). My wife attributes it to post WWII attitudes towards Germans, with them having been taught one too many times to be apologetic for things they, having been born post war, did not do.
    3
  3738. I think this is the 1st sponsored youtube video I've seen where the sponsor bit not only doesn't feel like a transactional plug for money, but actually adds to the subject/content of the video. Perfect fit for your channel and this video.

  3739. Sehr unterhaltsam und informativ. Hab's mir tatsächlich gerade noch ein zweites Mal angesehen.

  3740. Feli, great job! I loved the whole segment.
    3
  3741. Thanks for presenting the facts. The real target audience for the original video is almost certainly the american republican, that is then happy in the knowledge that everything is great in America and much better than elsewhere. It might be distracting from a few issues and facts on the home front! Just after Barrack was elected I was in New York. Being a crazy European I went on the subway from New York to central park. Many thanks to the coloured people who helped out. For a while I also had a dream.. MfG

  3742. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am a minority and I feel like some Germans might not welcome me. Unfortunately it only takes a few people to make you feel unwanted. I would definitely visit and would probably live there too. The Pro's really seem to outweigh the con's.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Also, I love Audi's. 👍👍👍👍 Great job Felicia. You are such a professional. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  3743. Congratulations Felicia. Love your channel. As an American of German ancestry I really connect with your channel. And always find your videos/topics interesting and your great perspective. BTW, you are so pretty and cute!

  3747. The beer mug idea would actually be super cool, I’m an American living near Nürnberg right now and a 0.5 or 1 liter mug would be cool if you could incorporate some like german/American cultural imagery on it as kinda like a unity thing between the two countries! Everyone loves beer, and I especially love Bavarian beer!

  3750. I'm English, I think I mostly speak RP, although I've spent my whole life in Oxfordshire so I think my accent must be somewhat influenced by that. One thing that comes to mind is that I pronounce either as "eether" and my mum pronounces it as "iyther". 4:31 I would say fizzy drink or soft drink. 6:49 Caramel - so three syllables, but with the last one less stressed than they said it. 7:38 With a long "are" sound. So like father to go with the map's example. 11:08 Originally I think I would have just said "you", but thanks to influence from the internet I think I would say "you guys" most often now, and sometimes even "you all" or "y'all". I don't say "yous", I would associate that as Irish, although I know people around the world say it. 14:18 Just how it's spelt: cray-on. 15:12 I'm not really very familiar with this word, so I don't know. Maybe just however I heard it most recently. 15:55 When I first heard this question I thought it meant plimsolls, but I realise it meant trainers. 17:59 I didn't hear anybody say it, but I'm pretty sure I say what the map wrote as "sih-rup" 18:49 I probably wouldn't say anything, sorry. But if I said anything it would be bless you. 19:38 Probably drinking fountain. 20:41 Definitely different, and I think even more different than the people who said it differently on here. 23:00 No, I don't pronounce the T. 23:30 Loy-u. 23:57 A really massive lorry... I guess? I've never really seen anything like that. It looks huge. 24:34 Sem"ee", like what Ben said some people in Kentucky say. 24:57 Definitely roundabout. 25:48 With an S sound. 26:16 Trolly. 26:57 Firefly. 28:13 No word. 30:26 A rainbow? I mean, it's the kind of weather that makes a rainbow likely. 31:25 I'm pretty sure he's describing a vest, although they're not just for men. Children especially wear them a lot.

  3751. Great observations. Your video lighting is excellent. It really separates you from the background. I so want to visit Germany. My wife has been for work and felt very at home.

  3752. Thanks!
    3
  3753. One further aspect that should be considered in the total equation is the differential in property taxes in Germany compared to the United States. What we pay in Nürnberg in property taxes per year is substantially less than what Americans would pay for a home of comparable value per month. This makes it more difficult to compare the tax burden between both places, but significantly tips the scale to the benefit of Germany.

  3754. Darüber kann man eigentlich nur lachen... das meint der doch nicht ernst oder? ^^,

  3756. The medical industry should not be part of capitalism. It will only get worse and worse when profit is the goal when it comes to health care. I'm not a socialist by any means, but I'm also not a fool. Health care should be equal across the board, except when it comes to cosmetic and elective procedures.

  3757. Guten tag, Felicia, I'm still David, an American of Germany ancestry. I am fairly new to your channel. But while you say you love things about America, "We" love you, too. Glad you are here. - Dr Dave, Tucson, Arizona. USA.

  3762. I LOVE your English and the content! German and English are my second languages so this combo is perfect for me.

  3763. I’m American and I grew up with the Grimm versions first and then the Disney versions later. My Mother would ask me to compare and contrast them. It’s a good way for someone who’s a writer, like me, to be able to write and adjust topics for an audience. I own a gilded version of the Grimms tales. It was a gift from my husband.

  3764. Thanks!

  3765. I also experience my first Oktoberfest this year as well while living in Munich. The thing I just realized is that my experience at fair and fest grounds in the US is that there is an entrance fee and all the rides and good is an additional charge. We have been to several dults and now Oktoberfest and there is no charge for entrance. It’s fantastic.

  3766. There is no such thing as a "time for an oil change sign" for cars at least in Germany. If the oil sign is on, that is not a good sign! Oil changes are included in the generell maintance/service intertervalls programmed by the car manufacturer. Really interesting! I've never heard that before.

  3767. I just received my Lebkuchen-Schmidt Nuremburg Chest today. I have never tasted Lebkuchen before and it is amazing!! I am so glad you shared this in your video. I also purchased a bottle of Gluhwein today, so I am ready to enjoy these treats for the holidays. Dankeschon!

  3771. Congrats on 20,000 subscribers! I was a TA in the German dept. at UC in the '90s. I never really understood why "Skyline" is so popular either.

  3780. Hello und moin Felicia! Wollte mir grad ein Video von Richard David Precht ansehen und bin irgendwie auf deinen Videos gelandet. Es ist jetzt 2 Uhr nachts und das hier ist mein drittes Video. Wow! Die machen nicht nur Spaß, wie das hier, man lernt auch noch einiges  - über Amerika und über Deutschland. Danke dafür, ... das ist wirklich sehr gut. Werde dich jetzt abonnieren und freue mich auf mehr! LG aus Hamburg!

  3781. Well done again. You have a pleasant personality that most average Americans don't have. Keep up the great work.

  3787. Two very nice people; your video was a pleasure to watch. And I know you read this all the time, but your smile is incredible! I began learning German in high school, and have been in German-American clubs for... well, let's just say decades. I would say my German skills (speaking and listening more than writing and reading) are "heavy conversational", and that's actually pretty disappointing after all these years! Much to my chagrin, language skills just don't come easily for me. Ah well. I'm impressed by Josh's German, and equally amazed by Feli's nearly flawless English. My German teacher did push us hard on proper pronunciation, so Germans don't usually think I'm an American right away. But as I stumble over grammar, they figure it out... 😉 By the way, while I was taught "hochdeutsch" in school, I've been around Bavarians most of my life, so it was fun to see you show the difference between "squirrel" in German (Eichhörnchen) and in Bavarian (Oachkatzl). Oh, and Oachkatzlschwoaf is one of my favorite words to say in "German"! I also noticed Feli's big smile when saying "squirrel", as that seems to always be a difficult English word for German's to say. 👍

  3788. This is such a great report and feli big respect to you. A realy fantastic research. Persons like you.would be very welcome to journalism and Broadcasting Services. I know what I'm talking about as a former Journalist. For the Bavarian Broadcasting Service Bayerischer Rundfunk in Munich by the way😊 so I know how much work and research is behind such a Report. Congratulations many thanks and keep on going. 👍👍👍👍

  3793. I'm from 🇩🇪. After I moved out of my parents house, I bought a boxspring (140x200), but before that I had a "normal" bed. I have a duvet and a pillow and a fitted sheet for the topper. In my childhood home I used to sleep with the shutters down. It had to be completely dark. However, now in my apartment I don't have shutters and I now sleep with a blackout curtain and the window cracked open. 😅

  3798. 20:15 Endlich versteh ich was! Bis dahin hab ich deine Videos ja nur wegen den grau-schwarzen-blau-braunen Augen angeschaut. JK! Love your videos and super content. Great job Feli! Keep going! ps: OK, maybe one thingy. Since you were talking in German: How's your Bavarian accent? Not sure if I would have picked it up if I haden't known you're from Bavaria. Did you speak dialect before at all - and can you still? Or are you maybe losing it?
    3
  3799. A very good analysis, Feli. You do a great job with videos of this kind where the depth of your research and your express intention not to be partisan shine thru in spades. Great work and thank you! I can’t imagine why YouTube would want to demonetise this or any other of your videos. I, for instance, feel discriminated against by YouTube by being prevented from seeing your video on the recent German Federal election. Mach nur weiter so! Deine Arbeit ist vortrefflich und gehört zu den Besten überhaupt im Internet. 🤗

  3802. German Girl in America Agreed. Gender equality is a MUST. And yes they most important women don’t use the term “feminist”. You know why? Because a strong woman doesn’t need to label herself. She needs to act, not to talk.

  3805. Ich find es immer so verrückt zu sagen wir haben hier keine Meinungsfreiheit. Ich gehe mein ganzes Leben schon demonstrieren und man darf hier alles sagen, außer die Sachen die aus Gründen verboten sind. Ich denke, du weißt wovon ich rede Adolf Typa Shii Man wird hier nicht verhaftet, weil man seine Meinung sagt und muss auch sonst nicht um sein Leben fürchten. NOCH .. Denn ich denke genau die Menschen, die sagen wir hätten keine Meinungsfreiheit, sind die wegen denen wir irgendwann keine mehr haben 😑

  3806. I remember having a discussion/argument with a German colleague about this. We were creating a user survey and we wanted people to sign up to give feedback/test the website etc. We asked for demographic info. She was like "OMG you can't ask this in Germany - everyone is the same! You can't ask for race, ethnicity etc.". I had to tell her that we wanted to make sure the users who were participating represented ALL our user base, not just "100% Germans". We wanted a broad sampling, not a uniform/homogenous one. So she did end up using the term Migrationshintergrund. Another case where, yes, all human beings are the same, but if they all come from the same group and the same background, you're not getting a diverse opinion or diverse feedback.

  3808. “Basically a Texan at this point.” I laughed! I’m sorta surprised no one has opened a European-style bakery in the area because what Florian said about ‘murican bread is spot on. I’m lucky we have several French/Central European style bakeries in the area (even out here in the suburbs.) a few Semmeln a week is my happy place. Wonderful video and deserving of a very large audience!

  3812. Between hearing about people getting arrested in their homes for posting memes on the internet in England (another YouTuber I watch often says he's afraid to go to Europe because of things like that) and having plans to visit Germany in 2028, I would absolutely be interested in knowing more about freedom of speech in Germany.

  3815. I have been subscribed to both of your channels. It's nice that you got together to do a video.. I would like to see you do more videos together also speaking German together. I have also lived in Ohio and Virginia.

  3816. Thanks for keeping it real ! Thanks

  3817. I was never big on watching sports either. I played basketball, ran track, and things like that but unless I was actually playing the sport myself I just found it really really boring. I do like the UFC fights though. Honestly Felicia I'd rather listen to you talk here on youtube than watch a sport. Your content is very good, holds my attention, and your just so beautiful to look at in general. I think I just have a good old fashioned crush on you lol.

  3818. I would love to see a part 3

  3819. I think you’ll be an excellent tour guide.
    3
  3820. of course! we want as many videos about German and English as you guys have the time for
    3
  3821. You should be doing this on Public Broadcast (PBS) you are brilliant and talented.

  3822. I love this video. Thanks, Feli

  3824. It's fairly common in Boston area to have light switches outside bathroom. I've never lived in a place that didn't have the switch on the outside. The homes are older here so that is prob why
    3
  3825. Congrats on the 100K! You made me laugh about the accents, you should definitely visit Central Louisiana, you wouldn't understand much due to the warped accent. Lol Cajun Country has its own dialect but it's comprehensible. And we have the most beautiful sunsets (but then, I'm biased 😀)! I think you'd like NOLA--not only the French Quarter either, but you shouldn't go there alone. Hook up with a resident of you can cause parts of the city can be dangerous, especially at night.

  3826. I didn't know that my ideas of dating were so...German for the most part lol

  3827. That's awesome, new lens looks great!

  3828. Maybe an idea for you! Naming things in the room and getting points for each object and then get different rewards when you accomplish a sertain score

  3829. I for sure knew the disney movies from early childhood on, but me an my sisters grew up with the original fairy tales as bedtime stories as well. Especially, because my Mom was a member of the german fairy tale society 😀. But that broadened our horizon even more because she had dozens of fairy tale collections from all over the world. France, Turkey, Persia, Russia, Sweden, Spain, Mexico and so on... It was lovely and exciting as well, our childhood.

  3830. Thanks!

  3831. Very cool trip- I am already set to visit the area next month! We will stay in Innsbruck then cross the border to visit the Zugspitze. Then ride ICE to Berlin. Sadly we only have a short layover in Munich. It's a lovely city, I have spent several days there. Have fun!
    2
  3832. Wow Felicia, great job. You have become a really good editor and made a great video showing us how much fun you had last September. And I'd forgotten how wonderful your smile is until I got to see it again today! You have the brightest smile on YouTube. :-) We gotta get you a better car though - a 13 year old Toyota just won't do!
    2
  3833. Can't wait to see / hear his progress 😁👍 I can also recommend to watch movies with English subtitles. My Kids learned English with Novakid before we moved to Boston. They have a great online program and you can also pick a native teacher. Is was also quiet affordable compared to other programs.
    2
  3834. You currently live in Cincinnati, Ohio? So do I! Yay!! Perfect city to live, since it is a German/Irish city.
    2
  3835. It is worth to visit Polish side as well, cities like Wroclaw and especially Krakow are having so much charm and can easily compete with Prague.
    2
  3836. Thank you for the laughs Felicia

  3837. In the netherlands we have a thing called a BVO or "bier voor onderweg" which means the same thing as Wegbier
    2
  3838. Wow I think the cost was the thing that surprised me the most. Speed is something we always hear about but would still be something I'd like to do, nice. This was a great video, Felicia, and thanks for the heads up on Insta. Keep doing what you do so well and as always.................................................... STAY GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2
  3839. Cool idea Feli! Won't make it myself but I hope everyone has a blast!
    2
  3840. I love the fact you stated this 4th of July had a weird connotation. It's as if you we're born in the USA.. Time to declare you're not leaving, ever... I loved the travel blog, just like the one when your friend from Germany came to visit. Just curious if you're going back to Germany to visit anytime soon. I would love to see a blogs with your Germany friends and family. Thank you Felicia.
    2
  3841. Thanks!

  3842. My first culture shock was in 1979. I was in the Army, stepped out in the streets of Frankfort and was stunned to see Mercedes Benz and BMW taxi cabs. My first thought was "How rich are Germans?"
    2
  3843. I look forward to your video on educational differences. As an American who has spent time in Austria and Germany, I've been very impressed with the respect and importance given to professional schooling. Universitat isn't the only option like in the U.S., and going to Gymnasium isn't necessarily the best choice, as Americans might automatically assume. Technical education is fantastic here, and this is something that the U.S. can learn from.
    2
  3844. Wow! 50k fantastic. It seems to me you were most of those things already, which is why you were attracted to America. You are independent and creative. A very positive person. I admire your attitude. Continued success.
    2
  3845. I'm so happy the YouTube algorithm decided I needed you in my life 🤗
    2
  3846. Fantastic job,! Well thought out post! U.S. people rarely think about the rest of the world. Having been stationed in Giessen, in the late 80’s and 1990, I understand. Also, listening to Deutsche Welle, the Economist, and BBC news helps me get a perspective which American news misses. Curious how much wind and solar is being used in Germany? Living in Pennsylvania, the liquified gas only helps us, so I am also curious how much US natural gas is being bought by Germany now.
    2
  3847. Very impressed with answers. You tend to not offend anybody. Takes alot of forethought! 🤓
    2
  3848. I enjoyed watching this, lol! As a content creator myself, I have a lot of bloopers myself, so I know how it feels. We are all human after all! Thanks for sharing!
    2
  3849. That’s great! Congratulations.
    2
  3850. This video realy goood ;)
    2
  3851. Why the US adopted Schadenfreunde, but not Honigkuchenpferd, is beyond me.
    2
  3852. Q&A is always fun...especially considering how honest you've been on this channel. I always enjoy hearing food and drink stories. Whenever I'm in Germany I'm always suprised by the sheer number of Donner restaurants there are. Granted I'm mostly in Frankfurt so I'm sure it depends on the region. But they're everywhere! Anyway, keep up the good work!
    2
  3853. One habit I acquired after moving to Germany was opening the windows to let the place air out. In the US, as I recall, this was only done to let cool air in when it was too hot (ACs were not so common in Detroit homes 50 years ago) but now I always open the windows for a while in the mornings and evenings, no matter what the weather.
    2
  3854. BEER MERCH, sold.

  3855. even your bloopers are good content! LOL

  3856. Would've been cool if you submitted you form on July 4th :D

  3857. I've heard and use earworm. It is not totally common in all communities though.

  3858. Great vid !! ..thanks so much for a little history , we have been to Munich and Hoffbrau haus - and yes love the Aldi beer...keep up the great work
    2
  3859. That sounds like a sweet tradition. I think it would be great here in the US.
    2
  3860. Thanks!

  3861. Interessantes Video, auch für einen Deutschen :)
    2
  3862. My Mom still writes 7 the German way and she's lived here for 55 years.
    2
  3863. Wow, I just watched your Q&A for your 30k subs a few minutes ago. You're now at 39 100 subs. Amazing and kudos.
    2
  3864. Felicia you speak so well in front of the camera. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honestly you speak like you are reporting the news or conducting a classroom lesson. Did you study language or linguistics in college?? Anyway the quality of you videos is superb. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You are so easy to understand and follow. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I look forward to your videos and whenever I get a notification I stop everything to watch it.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good luck with everything while you are here in the US.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    2
  3865. Just a little correction regarding vacation days. By law you are entitled for at least 20 days a year if you work 5 days a week. It 24 days if you work 6 days, like shift workers.
    2
  3866. I've only watched a couple of your videos, but I really enjoy your content. I offer you one point though to help improve your already-spectacular command of English. We "give" compliments, we don't "make" them. I've been studying German for two years and completely understand these kind of mistakes. My best to you and yours.
    2
  3867. It's still barbaric and cruel. Whataboutism does not change that.

  3868. 🙃Thanks!

  3869. Thank you so much, I was missing the ice cream I got in Germany now I know to get gelato.

  3870. I would love to give the autobahn a go ! Great video girl ! I really enjoy the content. Well done !! More PLEASE !!!
    2
  3871. Thank you for explaining ranch dressing. I came across in some books lately and wasn't sure, what kind of dressing it is.
    2
  3872. I love my Raycons. I bought a pair the last time they sponsored the channel. I bought them for podcasts but also now use them for listening to music when I'm running. The ability to turn on and off awareness mod is a win-win feature.
    2
  3873. Such nice people - enjoyed all the comments.
    2
  3874. My experience growing up in downtown Landsthul is very different than that of most people's positive descriptions. As an adult I realize the Germans were just teenagers but I was much smaller and constantly called out as a occupier. These interactions were always violent.
    2
  3875. Three coasts, you forgot Texas. Feel free to visit Texas, tons of stuff to see in this state alone.
    2
  3876. I hope this goes well and you keep doing it in the future. Germany is a bucket list destination for me and would love to go if I could afford it. Maybe 2024?
    2
  3877. Speedy recovery! Also now you can do a video about your experience with the US healthcare system after something major happened.
    2
  3878. I still don't understand how we couldn't run a dirty bucket of mopwater against Trump and win a landslide. Might be the first time a country went Fascist on "vibes". At least Germany had real problems Hitler could exploit. As a History Teacher, I'll admit I miss when the fears of the Founders were abstract, not things I could say, "Hey, here's a guy doing EXACTLY what they were afraid of." Great video as always, Feli!
    2
  3879. Congratulations on your achievement You have reached the elite level of YouTube creation. ELITE !!!
    2
  3880. Hello Fili, hello Ben! I can't believe I'm only the second viewer and the first like button of this video. This was interesting and answered a lot of questions about your relationship. I wish you both the best in whichever country you are living. Have a great day, and goodbye for now!
    2
  3881.  @FelifromGermany  Same goes for when you limit SALT in your diet too!
    2
  3882. Love your channel and I was particularly excited to see this one since I live about an hour away from Myrtle Beach closer to Charleston :).
    2
  3883. I might have subscribed to your channel just because you say "Servus." That and the fact that I think you are awesome. Keep doing episodes - I'm looking forward. BTW- If you like Mexican food - you have to go to the real places in the States for Mexican food like San Diego: Carne Asada burrito and three rolled tacos with Guacamole :-D

  3884. Meine Mutter hat mir auch ab und zu warmen Schokopudding zum Frühstück gekocht 😊
    2
  3885. Thanks for sharing this. I love languages and unfortunately only speak one (I’m trying to make that 2 but so far haven’t succeeded) so it’s nice to hear about English from a different perspective.
    2
  3886. first off, congratulations on your permanent resident card. Eventhough this video didn't apply to me (I'm a citizen already), it was still informative. I had no idea what people non resident immigrants go through to get a green card.I knew the process was long but didn't know the many steps.
    2
  3887. Oh yeah I experienced the same number confusion in the Philippines, because they used to write the same way like Americans 😂 my two ones in my phone number becomes two sevens 😂
    2
  3888. Your videos are so entertaining and very professional. I really enjoy them 😊 Thank you ❤️
    2
  3889. I spent two years in Germany in the military and the thing I miss most is the broken or bread. I will be enjoying you talk about Germany in the US. I can understand why the guys may whistle. You are very very attractive
    2
  3890. Das Video hat mir sehr gut gefallen und das Festival scheint sehr abwechslungsreich gewesen zu sein hoffentlich hat es euch viel Spaß gemacht
    2
  3891. Thanks!

  3892. I write in all capital letters. I don't really know why, but I started doing that my sophomore year of high school. At work, my co-workers have no problem distinguishing my handwriting from anyone else's. Part 3? Yeah, go ahead. Why not?
    2
  3893. Mega 🤩 Hab vor ein paar Monaten eure Kanäle nacheinander entdeckt und beide abonniert. Jetzt macht ihr einfach Videos zusammen😂💕😁
    2
  3894. Thanks!

  3895. Danke! Thank you so much Feli!!
    2
  3896. Hello. I'm just now finding your older videos. I enjoy these. I also look at on YouTube NDR which is a German public broadcast service. After your video I'll watch NDR 'Wei get das?' Appreciate your videos.
    2
  3897. Danke!
    2
  3898. I'm from the midwest, and referring to someone with just their first initial is definitely something that happens here. But only with certain letters for some reason. Like, you wouldn't say F instead of Feli. But you might say B instead of Bill, or J instead of Jason (I get this one a lot). I don't know why some letters are good for shortening and others aren't. It's also pretty common, mostly with teachers, to refer to them as Mr. or Mrs. initial. I had at least 5 or 6 teachers growing up who were commonly referred to in that way.
    2
  3899. Have always wanted to visit that Castle
    2
  3900. Danke. Das sind wieder gute Beobachtungen. Interessant wäre freilich nun auch mal über die "Freiheiten" in der sogenannten Pandemie zu reden. Da die ergriffenen Massnahmen uns alle betreffen und sogar in die Grundrechte der Bürger eingreifen. Freilich ein grosses Thema; man könnte sich aber zunächst mal auf die "Diskussionskultur" und die Medien etwa beschränken!
    2
  3901. I'm opposite from you. I was born in the USA, but my nationality is German and I'm living in Munich. This video is well done and very accurate. I'm experiencing the reverse of what you are.
    2
  3902. I have heard of them. You did a great job as usual.

  3903. love to hear more

  3904. I grew up in Rheinland-Pfalz and in this part of Germany it is a common tradition to go on a 'Maiwanderung' (=may hiking trip?) on May 1st. You meet up with friends and just go outdoors. Like on Fathers day there is a lot of alcohol involved... So it's basically a drinking trip
    2
  3905. WTF!! :D Er spricht ja wirklich perfekt Deutsch! Wenn man es nicht wüsste würde man nie denken das er Amerikaner ist! Big Respect Bro ;D
    2
  3906. in southern austria we have a news show called "Servus, Srečno, Ciao" to enhance the close neighbourhood of austria, slovenia and italy
    2
  3907. German: "Sicherheit" -> English: "Oh, do you mean "safety" or "security"? Not a false friend, but an ambiguity that drives me nuts, because as a German, I am not used to differenciate between these two. By the way, there is a beautiful town in Austria called "Fucking", and you should really try their lager beer "Fucking Hell"!
    2
  3908. In Australia you are not allowed to shoot at any targets shaped like a human.
    2
  3909. A video on German beer name pronunciations would be great. Maybe a taste and review of some brands would be a plus as well.
    2
  3910. I'm a German teacher in Indiana and my students always ask if I know any traditional Oktoberfest/Drinking songs. The only one I can think of is "In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus." They also ask about traditional dances. Would you know of any that you would be willing to teach?
    2
  3911. The sad thing is, systemic racism still exists in the USA. There are also a lot of non-systemic cases of racism, such as police brutality, that still go with little acknowledgment. So, even though it would be amazing if we lived in a world where racial categories dont exist, it is still something we need to acknowledge, talk about and fight. So, in cases of discrimination, "race" is still a category to identify as (for the time being)
    2
  3912. "One of my favorite cities in the US" Me, a Chicagoan: immediate thumbs up lol
    2
  3913. Is 'far-right' really a negative moniker? Is 'far-left' or 'centrist' less negative or equally negative? I have my own opinion, but this is about 1588's assertion. And why would she bring up other similar political parties in Europe? This is a channel about Germany and things relating to Germany. If anything, she would have to explain all of the notable political parties in Germany.
    2
  3914. I can’t stop watching your videos. I used to live in Austria when I was in my 20’s and I learned German there. I haven’t really been able to interact with German speaking people since then and I’m discovering as I come across your videos on my feed that I miss it a lot more than I realized. Vielen Dank. Tschuss uns fiati

  3918. Hey, I really enjoyed your video. I have three cats myself. I know where I live in NJ we have also banned declawing. The indoor outdoor thing, I know many people let them out especially if they have a farm to reduce their mice population. I don't personally let my cats outside. If I had space to build a cattio maybe. After seeing the Netflix special Don't f**k with cats, that's a good enough reason for me to keep my girls safe inside.

  3919. East and West Germany reunited 30 years ago. What are the differences that still exist between former east and west citizens and culture?
    2
  3920. Merry Christmas Feli!
    2
  3921. Yay! I moved to the Lincoln Square/Ravenswood area in Chicago, and I always see that German building there, Dank Haus. I'm glad to know more about it! And thanks for the awesome video.
    2
  3922.  @chuckwin100  Yeah, I think that's what Feli meant.
    2
  3923. Welcome & congratulations! You’re a fantastic addition to our diverse family! Do you have any plans to become a citizen?

  3924. I've driven my car to my next door neighbor's house a few times. Admittedly there was a lot of stuff being transported in the car.

  3925. The hot chocolate soup is I think just „Puddingsuppe“ and tastes soooo well. I love it

  3926. the " try to pronounce e at the same time" really helped with the u with umlaut sound! really surprised it did tbh, great video as always keep it up :)
    2
  3927. 🏆 CONGRATULATIONS 🏆 I was thinking about your videos. Are you aware what's extra special about your videos? It's connecting people. They wipe away stereotypes and prejudices. Your videos bring us closer together. They show, that we don't have any reason to hate each other, but we have 1000 reasons to be curious and learn about each other. :-) ❤️ P.S.: I love your videos. But you are lousy in unpacking!! 😛😉
    2
  3928. Thank you Felicia!
    2
  3929. Hi. I am an English teacher living in Germany. I think that your videos are great because I cover a lot of the topics that you discuss. Would you have a problem with me using your videos in my classroom? Please get back to me.
    2
  3930. Thanks! As always, informative, educational, and to-the-point.
    2
  3931. Thanks!
    2
  3932. You guys are amazing! I'm Chinese born in the US but I hardly speak my native language. I spoke Chinese when I was younger but I spoke it less over the years so little I have almost lost my ability to speak Chinese. Very impressed with you guys! Love your channel, Felicia!!
    2
  3933. Love your content and your the manner in which it is delivered. I’m not surprised at the growth. Congratulations. Not sure about funding or merchandise. Part of the charm is that it’s personal. Would that be lost if you try to monetize this? Keep up the good work. You have huge fans!!!
    2
  3934. Both of you should do more joint videos. Every comment you both made is spot on !!!
    2
  3935. Congratulations!!!
    2
  3936. Loved this video would like more of them like this one. You are such a great narrator which makes your videos a cut above the rest of them, you have great talent for that.
    2
  3937. I'm lucky, to get to a German Christmas market I only had to travel 500 miles (800km) from London to Hannover, one of the markets that was still open this year. Recommend it to anyone.
    2
  3938. Oh, and regarding the cost of having a kid? I actually found the receipt from the hospital from when my mom was born here in 1945. I adjusted it for inflation, and it was maybe around two thousand tops. It really wasn't that much. I have friends who have kids now, and the stories about the costs are part of why Americans are hesitant to have children. I can find the photo I took of that receipt if you want, and you're welcome to use either of these stories.
    2
  3939. German is just beautiful, I really want to learn this as my second language
    2
  3940. Yes Feli with the skits. I knew they would work so well. Go Feliiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Love the vids.
    2
  3941. And already another 1.8K! You're looking particularly wonderful today.
    2
  3942. Ich wünsche dir gute Besserung! Ich kann mir garnicht so richtig vorstellen, mir etwas zu brechen. Obwohl ich 12 Jahre aktiv Kampfsport gemacht habe (auch viele Jahre Wettkämpfe), habe ich mir nie etwas gebrochen. Aber gerade fürs Fallen ist die Fallschule beim Kampfsport sinnvoll. Ich kann mir das aber gut vorstellen, die rechte Hand (als Rechtshänder) nicht groß nutzen zu können. Ich musste für einiges sogar auf Linkshänder "umschulen".
    2
  3943. Voll krass😳 das klingt hald echt als hätte er nie was anderes als Deutsch gesprochen bzw. als wäre er komplett zweisprachig aufgewachsen.
    2
  3944. Could definitely see your concern when you began the video. Felicia thank you for sharing. I grew up with other versions of those fairy tales and Hans Christian Andersen along with Asian fairy tales while living in Japan. There are several sources that The Brothers Grimm used and their collection as you pointed out on one of them. There is one version which Cinderella frankly forgives her sisters and her stepmother for what they did. And thus winning the Adoration of the Nobles and the common people. I am not sure which version of The Princess and the Frog I grew up with but I heard several different versions growing up.

  3948. Jeez, I missed all that by a couple of days. Thanks for the visit and opening up whole new windows of information. Wow.

  3949. Thanks!

  3950. This is one of your best videos I've ever seen. So much information.
    2
  3951. I found the Lafayette Park information so interesting because I noticed that statue in the 70s but was never able to find any information about it. I waited for many buses in that park.
    2
  3952. Thanks!
    2
  3953. Congratulations on getting your green card. Your English is great. Much better than I speak it with my East Texas accent. The US is now a little better place.
    2
  3954. Well, that educated me more than I thought it would.
    2
  3955. Come visit OKC! Lol😁
    2
  3956. Another great video from you 👍👍👍👍
    2
  3957. Thank you for this post. This was clear and understandable!! and I for one am thankful that Germany takes such a responsible view of their accountability (re: how easily hate speech can cross over to hate action) IMO a person should be able to speak their opinion. however, is it possible that the opinion is harmful to another human? then keep it to your-freaking-self!! We are not all that interested in it! I believe this is something the US "leadership" has not yet learned, and it is somehow acceptable for anyone to give a hitler salute at the presidential inauguration.
    2
  3958. I don’t sleep with a top sheet because I’m very warm blooded and can’t sleep if I’m too hot. I was so glad to discover that Target sells fitted sheets and flat (top) sheets separately because I have much more need of new fitted sheets than top sheets! In the winter I’ll use a throw blanket if I get cold.

  3962. Hey Felicia, sehr cooles Video. Seit 4,5 Jahren bin ich jetzt hier in den USA und habe seitdem einige Videos von Nalf gesehen. Ich fand eure Unterhaltung sehr interessant, da ich mich in vielen der Punkte wiederfinde. Manchmal zustimmend, manchmal aber auch anders denkend. Meine Frau ist aus den USA und deshalb bin ich nun auch hier. Ein Punkt den ich an mir entdeckt habe, ist wie sehr mich das Leben hier in meiner Persönlichkeit verändert hat. Bereits beim ersten Besuch in D, nach ca. 2 Jahren USA haben mir meine Freunde gesagt wie “schlecht” mein deutsch geworden sei. 😂 Und ich stimme total zu! Z.B. ertappe ich mich dabei, wenn ich deutsch spreche, gewisse Dinge von englisch ins deutsche zu übersetzen. Oder sogar “Hallo, wie gehts” zu sagen wenn ich jemandem auf der Straße begegne. Es dauert dann immer etwas bis ich wieder im Deutsch-Modus bin. Wobei ich schon denke, dass man mit so einem gravierenden Schritt - für so eine lange Zeit in eine andere Kultur einzutauchen - unweigerlich seine Persönlichkeit verändert, was aber eine enorme Bereicherung ist. Genug der vielen Worte, ich freue mich deinen Kanal entdeckt zu haben und bin gespannt was ich hier noch entdecke. MfG Daniel.

  3963. I've definitely complimented people on their jawlines before and had a bf whose jawline I found very sexy.

  3964. Last year I have moved from Serbia to Germany and my favorite cultural shocks was fireworks for New Year (Silvester). We couldn't see each other from the smoke. 😂

  3973. Outstanding video, Feli. I like learning German from you.

  3976. Congrats for the 50K subscribers! I feel you have a big future with your channel. If you continue making videos you could reach 200K or 500K subs .

  3977. I hope you watch Jojo Rabbit soon because it's a fantastic film. Thank y0u for this video! I'm learning German, and I find it really entertaining.

  3979. Super Video Feli! Habe dein Video aus versehen gefunden und jetzt bin ich ein Subscriber :) Liebe Gruesse aus Shanghai

  3980. Another crazy fact: Germany has more whiskey distilleries than in Scotland! It’s crazy, but true 😮
    2
  3981. Sounds amazing, props to you for putting Seiffen on the list! :D

  3982. Challenge: write a short poem/story in German
    2
  3983. Slip was introduced into German via French not English. It is a French use of the English phrase slip-on/slip-off. Le slip = undies, slip de bain = speedos. So we are using a bad French corruption of English.
    2
  3984. I did feel bad for the tent campers during the wind storm (we were in a camper) but it really helped break the heat a little, the 1st 2 days were so hot it wasn't even fun for me. Of course it is quite possible I'm just getting too old to keep doing these summer festivals. 🥰
    2
  3985. Hi Feli, I was just notified from Lingoda that I successfully completed the Super Sprint challenge for the last cycle. This was for French (sorry, but maybe German will be next). I just want to say thank you for the tip and the discount code. By the way, the cat here is fluent in Spanish, English, and now French.
    2
  3986. Lived in Germany for 3 years and loved the backerei. Especially love good brotchen und brot. But German pastry, except for strudel, leave me cold. Too hard and not sweet enough. Like the softer, sweeter cakes, cookies, pies, etc. in the USA. Miss the brotchen. 🙁
    2
  3987. I just stumbled across your youtube channel and i love it I m from austria btw
    2
  3988. Ich finde es immer lustig deine Videos als deutsche zu schauen und alles aus der anderen Perspektive zu sehen. Echt interessant! Man merkt auch, wie deine englische Aussprache immer und immer amerikanischer wird und der deutsche Akzent verschwindet🙏❤️tolle Videos, weiter so! 😊
    2
  3989. Yes please, an episode on breweries and their history and pronunciation would be nice! Thanks for this video we enjoyed it.
    2
  3990. Thank you!

  3991. Years ago, my gf had some Mom issues in therapy. Free govt psychologists (idiots) gave her pills that made her sleepy and dopey. I flushed them down the toilet and we got couples therapy that really helped. Conclusion: The best drugs are NO drugs! 🙂
    2
  3992. Hä?
    2
  3993. I don't know how you were able to stay so unbiased in this video, I certainly couldn't have, but kudos to you! This is the best summary I've seen so far! In my opinion, energy prices in Europe will fall sharply after the current Russian government collapses and western companies are able to move in and restart the export of fossil fuels from Russia to Europe, but again, this is only my opinion. I think next year, by fall, life will be easier for Europeans. Let's see how this comment ages...

  3994. The part about Mercedes was the biggest surprise.

  3995. Your cat is so cute🥰🥰 I love cats too!

  4000. This is hilarious, I absolutely love this! 😆

  4001. Love the map on die decke.

  4002. That was a fun video and really enjoyable we got to see you without makeup which your still a beautiful person and a little bit of silly it was fun
    2
  4003. I usually reply to "Thank you" with "No problem" for something like holding a door, but if it's when I give a gift to someone or pay them a compliment, I'll always say "You're welcome" when they thank me.
    2
  4004. Unless its a Porter or a Stout. I can't drink a cold Porter or Stout. Gross! Danke fur das video. <3
    2
  4005. Guten Tag Frauline! Keep up the great work. Funny, spell-check keeps wanting to say “Gluten” tag!😂 Auf Wiedersehen!
    2
  4006. Hi Feli, 100k subscribers ahead! Amazing achievement! Congrats from Munich. I guess you will have made it when I wake-up tomorrow morning.
    2
  4007. Good job explaining all. You did your due diligence on researching this. Hockey is very popular in the northern states especially, the original six cities, in the pro game and from Maine to North Dakota across the top tier in the college game. Keep this up. You will become an active sports fan.
    2
  4008. Tack!
    2
  4009. 8:25 It's funny what different cultures can perceive as mean or rude. I was just thinking that we see answering the phone with just 'Schmidt' is somewhat rude and off-putting. As for hanging up abruptly, it does seem like some of my fellow Americans just don't really care about ending a conversation. On the other hand, it's seen as rude for people to hang up too suddenly and it's also seen as rude to hold someone on the line when they are trying to wrap up the conversation. Often we just fail to strike the middle ground.
    2
  4010. Congrats! Glückwunsch! I'm watching your videos for almost year now and they are always very interesting. Ich gucke deine Videos jetzt schon fast ein Jahr und sie sind immer sehr interessant.👍🏼
    2
  4011. There have been soft cookies in German stores for several years now, but obviously the standard is still crunchy. I have to say that I love the soft cookies you get at Subway, but I wouldn't say I prefer them over harder ones.
    2
  4012. Thank you very much for your video - As a fellow German in an anglo-saxon country, I really enjoyed it as many Anglo-Saxons seem completely unaware of the historic versions. So while in Germany most people know the Grimm version, there are much older versions of many of the fairy tales (e.g. by Giambattista Basile (Pentamerone,1634) and Charles Perrault (Histoires ou contes du temps passé, 1697)). So I moved away from calling the Grimm's version "original", but nevertheless, the historic versions deserve to be known.
    2
  4013. Absolutely Stunning

  4014.  @FelifromGermany  I didn't mean that you forgot about it!!! I'm just comparing it to USA and Germany, some of the same things in common!!!❤❤

  4015. You deserve more subscribers!

  4016. New visitor. Love the videos. Thanks for the cultural lessons

  4019. This is super helpful!! Thanks for great content!! Would love to see more tips like this.

  4020. I heard so many English speaking people pronounce the discounter Lidl like little (in the American accent)
    2
  4021. Hello Felicia! I really enjoyed this vlogs as I have enjoyed many of your vlogs. You speak English very well. I love how you enunciate your words and your diction and pitch are perfect! Since I was very young, I have been interested in Germany as a country and the many cultures that make up the country. I planned to come to visit Germany and spend some time there, as well as Austria, Sweden and Switzerland. So, your vlogs are helping me learn somethings about German culture. Also, I'm learning to speak and read in German (I don't expect to be fluent with reading and speaking German, but I do want to be able to communicate on an elementary basis with my spiritual German, brothers and sisters). Lastly, it's so important to me to let you know how much your vlogs are helping me. Please continue the good work you are doing, and yes, I would love to see a part 3 to this vlog!
    2
  4022. If you set up a Patreon, at your current subscriber level, you'd probably make about $2,000 a month. So, yeah, Patreon is probably a good idea for you!

  4023. Übern Haufa kuschelt gheast :D

  4024. I'm one of the germans who discovered you through your reaction video in march. Usually I hate reaction videos, but yours was really good! Then I watched more videos and subscribed right away :) Greetings from Münster, NRW
    2
  4025. Awesome video as always! The throwing the frog at the wall really shocked me lol
    2
  4026. That's a very informative video. I wonder how GGIA's view might have been affected if either of Cincinnati major league pro teams (or 3 as of this year w/ MLS) had won a playoffs game since she was born, insofar as her Cincinnati friends would be more interested. (BTW, her friend #2 in this video sounds more like a native speaker of American English than a lot of Americans do.)
    2
  4027. I love your videos and I appreciate the US so much more because of them (though I'm sure Germany is a great place too). What I like about America is that people go to such lengths not to upset one another. Most people think (probably correctly) that they are probably not going to make anybody think differently and it is not worth ruining a relationship over. It seems folks gradually try to change people's minds. I used to have different cultural views, but through my brother's example, I have changed those.
    2
  4028. I'm from Hanau, the birthplace of the brothers, and I also grew up with the original versions. I had them all on tape and would listen to them to go to sleep when I stayed at my Oma's haus across the road. I also had a big book with all the tales which I would read from time to time. I didn't watch or hear about the Disney versions until I moved to the US. Coming from Hanau, the originals were a big part of my childhood.
    2
  4029. And I can confirm that watching TV in the language you like to learn, helps big times! And also is fun!
    2
  4030. Thanks!

  4031. Hope your wrist has healed well!

  4032. Goodbye Felicia, hello Feli. 😊

  4033. Feli & Ben... hello from Florida, USA. I noticed the KLEO app is (currently) only available for Apple...do you know if Android will be added, soon? [Ben, study hard, and every day...Feli is determined you should learn German. ...and you are doing very well, already !!!] Feli & Ben... hallo aus Florida, USA. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass die KLEO-App (derzeit) nur für Apple verfügbar ist ... wissen Sie, ob Android bald hinzugefügt wird? [Ben, lerne fleißig und jeden Tag...Feli ist fest entschlossen, dass du Deutsch lernen solltest. ...und du machst das schon sehr gut!!!]
    2
  4034. I think I could make a list odd 10 habits I lost when I moved to Cincinnati from another past of the US. Starting with not expecting anyone to care what high school I went to, and not eating chili with cinnamon and cocoa in it.
    2
  4035. Great Video Feli

  4036. 6:17 why do I think about the french here :D Keep it up! Greetings from munich:)

  4041. That was FUN, Feli!

  4042. German Girl in America jetzt mal auf deutsch :D mir war schon bewusst dass es dir (zum glück) nicht um views und sowas geht aber ich war dennoch ein bisschen in Sorge😅Auf jeden Fall super interessantes Video und super lustig, bitte mehr ;)
    2
  4043. Not like Black Friday in the past....lines around the corner!!! And people fighting each other
    2
  4044. We love your videos! So well done! Husband and I both studied German language but very rusty now. My great grandparents came from Germany, so I find this subject endlessly fascinating. Thank you!
    2
  4045. Thanks!
    2
  4046. Thanks God I'm Danish, so I'm pronounce the names the way it should be done 😁

  4047. ¡Gracias!

  4048. I'm intrigued by paprika lay chips. I have never eaten marshmallow fluff, though I'm not really a fan of marshmallows in general.

  4049. German Girl In Portland, would be an interesting vlog to hear what you think of my city. Congrats on 100k!
    2
  4050. Boah krass wie gut er einfach deutsch spricht. Da wär ich nie drauf gekommen, dass er englischer Muttersprachler ist. Woah. Its just incredible how good and flued he speaks german. Never have I ever get it that he is a native english speaker.
    2
  4051.  @scelestion  indeed, it is possible for men and women to be friends. If it weren't, you've just excluded about half the world's population from your list of possible friends. I do like the way these two work together though.
    2
  4052. Nod of appreciation to the title. 😊 Also, excellently researched video!
    2
  4053. "I guess this is my job now" 👍

  4055. Danke!

  4056. Thanks!

  4057. pepperoni was kind of surprising to me. My favorite pizza is pepperoni with mushrooms, but I sometimes like both hot peppers and bell peppers on with the "salami". A local restaurant has a special pizza called a Burning Rome with Pepperoni(salami) hot peppers and some bell peppers. as always I enjoyed your discussion
    2
  4058. Cool to see you in the natural habitat and speaking German, ha ha. I hope you've had a nice stay home. For me it always feels weird being home, you're in your hometown and your parent's house but feel like a guest rather than like this is home. And everything in the hometown is so familiar, yet a lot has changed since the last visit. It is a bit like one is living two lives and you keep hopping back and forth somehow. Have a happy weekend and all the best from a Hessian on the Emerald Isle. :-)
    2
  4059. Thanks!
    2
  4060. Loved the double Feli intro! You're really upping your game! Ceiling fans are a must for me, I had my house wired for them in the 80's before it was normal (Florida) & still have them in every room today ( Costa Rica). Love your info & energy (and smile), hope you hit 100k before your next video!

  4061. 13) Shaderfreude - We have that in Bulgarian. "Злорадствам"[Zloradstvam]...It literally translates to evilrejoyce or evildelight(as a verb)...when you experience joy from someone else's misfortune.

  4062. Chill video, good editing. Schöner Ausflug!

  4063. Beer mugs, that works for me. Love your channel

  4065. Thanks for clarifying what was going on with this - in an entertaining way.

  4066. All great places to visit in the Northeast! Glad you beautiful ladies had a good time. It's pronounced "Grenn-itch" Village by the way. One of those weird English exceptions lol

  4068. This is really interesting

  4069. I’m from NYC, I feel the German people’s struggle to find parking 😩 It’s a nightmare to find a parking spot in a bustling city like NYC.
    2
  4070. I feel your show has much value for people from Germany who work in the U'S.I work for Daimler here in the Portland OR area.Have met multiple wonderful Germans over the years.Your profile of them has been confirmed by my observations too.Thank You so much!
    2
  4071. I’m giving you a thumbs up. (Or is that number one in German?). I think you should have your own travel / comparative culture TV show. You’re a very talented videographer.
    2
  4072. Loving your differences videos. Keep them coming.
    2
  4073. I would add become and bekommen :D everyone in my class did that wrong

  4074. For more information Dutch and so on Irecommand the YouTube chanel " Langfocus" I thing he had a video between the relationship between Dutch and German and lower German and fresian🙂another language in Schleswig - Holstein 😁

  4076. You're not paying 42% taxes for every € earned. Man zahlt auf den ersten Euro oberhalb einer Verdienstgrenze (5xxxx€ oder so) 42% Steuern, nicht für den Verdienst unterhalb der Grenze.

  4077. Thanks!

  4078. We live in Stuttgart and have been to Volksfest once before Covid and now this year that it's back. We love it! Went with our kids for the carnival and to the beir tents at night. It's awesome and definitely am experience we'll never forget. I'm hoping to go to Oktoberfest in Munich next year. I feel so blessed to be able to live here. Love your videos! ❤️
    2
  4079. Thank you for these videos, Feli. They are always so educational and enlightening!

  4080. Ich lieb deinen Kanal ich kennen dich von Montana ihr seit die besten😍 wenn ich groß bin will ich in die USA ziehen
    2
  4081. Wow!! This is very exciting!!!!
    2
  4082. Besides enjoying the whole video, also enjoyed listening to the music on my headphones you chose.
    2
  4083. This is a great video. As someone who personally experienced the unrest in Leipzig, the border, the opening of the Wall and the entire transition, I think you did a wonderful job compressing the information into this format. Good job!! // Anecdote: About a month before the Wall fell, I was in a car with 4 Jewish psychiatrists on the way to visit Bergen-Belsen (the former concentration camp). To lighten the atmosphere, one of the doctors asked: So what do you think about the unrest in East Germany? Will anything come of it? And although we had direct contacts to the leaders of the demonstrations in Leipzig, I responded with the deepest of convictions: As long as you or I are still alive, nothing is going to change there. A month later, the Wall fell.
    2
  4084. Congratulations
    2
  4085. Congratulations and well deserved! You put out great content that is fun and informative and you are the reason your channel has blown up, before long it will be at 100k. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing, plus a beer stein would be awesome merch.
    2
  4086. Tell Ben to watch Learning With Anja on YT. She gets all the beginner basics of learning German together and the videos are enjoyable!
    2
  4087. It doesn't matter how fast you are because there'll be someone faster than you
    2
  4088. I don’t mind if you redo some of your key videos. My condolences on the loss of your old channel name.
    2
  4089. Cincinnati represent!
    2
  4090. Thanks Feli. You a such a great representative of you country and just so smart! I'm 75 an was stationed near Oppenheim with the US Army in 1970 and 71. I have very strong positive memories of my time in such a wonderful country.
    2
  4091. Feli, please, make a video about German Beers!
    2
  4092. I lived in Germany for 3 years and couldn't really understand its school system, as I do now with this excellent summary video... thanks, Feli, you are a great reporter too!
    2
  4093. Thanks!
    2
  4094. Thank you. I really liked this (and your video about Germans and Chicago. You are a delight to watch.
    2
  4095. Excellent Video. Didn't know there was so much heritage in Chicago. Looking forward to you next videos. Just curious who is your videographer/camera person. Nice editing too.😎
    2
  4096. Thanks! A fair presentation of U.S. civics that all Americans show know. Once again, Feli hits it out of the park.
    2
  4097. Good job, your videos are always entertaining. Glad you are in Cincinnati and a fellow Bearcat!
    2
  4098. Everything is smaller in Germany except for the Dönor! Mmmmmm

  4099. When I am in Munich, I love shopping at Karstadt. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
    2
  4100. The intros are always great
    2
  4101. holy shit, Dornröschen hat mich richtig überrascht. Ich kenne alle anderen Märchen so, wie sie von den Gebrüdern Grimm erzählt werden, aber Dornröschen hab ich noch nie so gehört, obwohl ich im Kindergarten in der Dornröschen-Gruppe war.
    2
  4102. You are awesome and you absolutely owned him with your brilliance. Thank you for shining a positive light on Germans and Germany.
    2
  4103. That was interesting because I wouldn't have expected some of the German words to be closer to latin than English. Sympathisch/simpatico (Spanish) and marke/marca (also Spanish) are the same.
    2
  4104. Thanks for making these videos. I stumbled upon your channel last week and really enjoy your content.
    2
  4105. Feli, Ben seems like he's a good guy. Great catch. ;) He's pretty too. lol.
    2
  4106. Part 3 go for it
    2
  4107. Michigan and Oregon have bottle/can deposits where you get 10¢ back for each. I feel like a lot of grocery stores here have it. Also I studied abroad in Germany and I came back and I miss the good bread too 😭
    2
  4108. Great story reminders! I could listen to you tell stories all day long. Even in the bad parts you are smiling and happy. What a gift!
    2
  4109. Can I just tell you that i love your videos? I JUST discovered you today and been watching the videos while baking and cooking in the kitchen and I ENJOY it so much. You got such a great english that for me as a german i wouldn't have known you're from germany if you wouldn't have said it. At the same time you speak so chill and clear that it's so easy so just listen to you talking while doing e.g. chores. Even my dad thinks you're amazing and he isn't really into anything english or American related😅
    2
  4110. I am an American who spent several years target shooting in 4-H and totally agree with the statement about guns. Learning how to operate one safely has nothing to do with the fear of them being so commonplace or being shot. Shooting is a great sport, be it target shooting or hunting. However, there are way to many people in the US that have such a love for guns that they have to carry with them wherever they go. You know you love your gun to much when you have to take a picture posing with it or taking it out on a date to Chipotle.
    2
  4111. Tack!
    2
  4112. Hvala :)
    2
  4113. Perfect. I am still hopeful that you will actually make a T-shirt that says: “I AM JELLY DONUT” And you can touch your hair all day as far as I’m concerned. :))
    2
  4114. I agree that meat is much more present here in the US than in Germany but it is not something I put much thought into however I have noticed I too as a Pestcatieren (veggie, eggs and fruit) it is a challenge to find options on a road trip even here on the Pacific NW (Portland, OR area). When I lived in Germany back in 1999 I ate meat then and did not pay much attention to what was available in the Rheinland Pflatz federal state. I am from Iowa City Iowa which is located in the middle of the county and I suppose is very similar to Cincinati OH as far as food options. My diet is usually veagan but I due consume some dairy, fisch and eggs especially when visiting my mom. Yes! My mother was very concerned when I stopped eating meat altogether a few years ago because she was concerned if I did not eat meat with my meals I might not be getting the proper protiens. Naah, I like that I am not eating something that had to be murdered aside from the fish ofcourse but this not really on my mind most of time.

  4115. Danke!

  4116. When I was young, we learned cursive in 2nd or 3rd grade, and were required to use it through 6th grade. I don't think they do that anymore. Kids' handwriting these days is mostly terrible. I don't use any cursive in my regular handwriting, although I cross my z's, and strangely enough I write my lower-case a's like a printed a, with the extra thing on top. I write all my numbers like you, except for 1. After elementary school, we really only use pencils for math and filling in bubbles (as far as testing goes). Fountain pens are unfair to left-handed people. I'll never understand how people can sleep with sheets tucked in. It's uncomfortably tight, especially near the feet (especially if you sleep on your back). I sleep with a duvet too. The double mattress/double duvet thing seems practical, if somewhat unromantic, hehe. I also don't understand wearing shoes in the house. It's so dirty. I don't like slippers either, because it can make my feet sweat, but I wear them if it's so cold that socks aren't enough. Part 2 please!

  4117. I remember "right turn on red" being a NEW thing when I was an early teenager... late 1970s/early 1980s. I think the concept was supposed to help with fuel economy coming out of the 1970s oil crises - don't waste time idling engines at a stop light when it's often safe & to allow right-turns after first coming to a complete stop. This was actually one of my biggest concerns when I was preparing to drive in Germany for the first time. I didn't want to assume it's OK to turn right on a red light and break the law, but also didn't want to be an annoying driver holding up traffic if I found myself needing to turn right at a stoplight! I did find the correct information before arriving overseas, but it wasn't easy to find at the time.

  4127. I'm surprised what I've actually pronounced the German way. Lol Adidas I have always gone both ways on. Not realizing it was a German company.

  4134. I was just in Germany last week. Due to the coronavirus, they officially gotten with the times and are going contactless! 😂 everyone's life got a little easier.

  4136. I really like your clear and consice response to each point.

  4137. Thanks for the rebuttal.

  4138. Really awesome to see both of you guys together... I was a bit surprised because I subscribed to both of you quite a long time ago ... would like to see more of that 👍
    2
  4139. Reading books by Angelika Bohn would be my suggestion for upping your German learning game. The books are full novels in graded reader form, but they are appropriate for adults learning German. I think there are ten books in the series, which is called "Einfach Deutsch Lesen", and they run from CEFR A1to B2. Viel Spaß beim Sprachlernen
    2
  4140. I remember when you were setting up that bookshelf during your last Patreon Q&A! It is so cool to see it fully built! I can't think of anything to send you for it, but I know it is going to look great! The new office looks incredible! You did a great job setting it up!

  4146. I'm from the U.S but a lot of my family is from Germany. I'm really taking interest in Germany recently, thinking about where I come from. I visited Austria last year that was great! I spent a few hours in Frankfort for a lay over, but didn't get to see much of the city. I can't wait to visit my families home town of Hanau in Hesse. I looked at pics recently and its strange how much that place felt like home. I guess its because we were there for centuries and I still have some family there. Thanks for the videos!

  4147. Excellent informative video! Well done!

  4150. The very, very best vegetarian meals I've ever had were in Germany, and I never even knew what I was eating (some long German words at the steam table/counter where you ordered, the dishes were mostly like casseroles). I lived in Frickenhausen (am Main) and worked at a US Army Kasern in Kitzingen, and used to drive to Würzburg to get lunch. My coworkers wanted to know what I was eating and I said "I don't know", so I brought them lunch, they all said it was delicious, but they didn't know what the different dishes were either, but we all agreed they were all delicious. Vegetarian meals were easier to find in Germany than in the US. You can certainly find vegetarian meals in large US cities, but if you live in a small town, or even a small city, vegetarian meals are much harder to find. I now live in a small town, population 23,000, and the only vegetarian meals available are 'vegan' burgers at fast food 'restaurants', or fast 'casual' restsurants (i.e. Denny's). I do really enjoy all German food, but there are only three or four German restaurants in the greater Los Angeles area (which I have to drive two hours to get to, and they're not anywhere as good as the German food I had in Germany). I was very fortunate to live in Schweinfurt, Berlin, Dahn (bei Rhineland- Palatinate), and Frickenhausen (am Main) totaling 25 years, and am sooo embarressed to say my German is soo schrecklich. Too much talk, (I) enjoy your videos Feli (though some of them are a little long), thanks for your thoughts (you're a real pleasure to look at too).

  4151. We don't erase it, we just don't seperate people because of that. You are free in Germany to live your culture, religion etc.,and we would never ask on a public form which "race" you are part of, because it doesn't matter if you are black, white, whatever. Why would it matter?
    2
  4152. So many reasons to live in the US 😃💖 I agree!

  4157. Die Idee mit den Sprichworten und Redensarten finde ich sehr interessant. Sprache (und Dialkete) sind ja mehr als nur reine Kommunikation, da schwingt auch viel von Kultur und Tradition mit, grade in Redewendungen und Sprichworten (Anm.: und nun bin ich mir grade nicht sicher ob es Sprichworte oder Sprichwörter heissen muss oder ob beides okay ist ;) ). Das bringt mich zu einer Frage, ihr beide habt offensichtlich viel von der Kultur des jeweils anderen Sprachkreises beim Erlernen der Sprache mitbekommen, was waren denn da für euch die grössten "Kulturschocks" oder Momente in denen ihr dachtet "Moment, das sagt man wirklich so? Wieso das denn?"? Danke für Eure gemeinsamen Videos und bitte mehr davon.

  4158. In Cincinnati when I was a kid, many people used to use "Please?" instead of "What?" when they missed what someone said and wanted them to repeat it. This was said to be a direct translation for the German use of "bitte?" for the same purpose, and the usage used to be frequently mentioned in articles about Cincinnati. However, it wasn't universal and my mother couldn't stand it, so no one in my house used it. Nevertheless, she INSISTED on using "Gesundheit" as a word for when someone sneezed, I assume because she didn't want a religious response to sneezing. I don't know if anyone around Cincinnati uses "please" that way any more; I haven't heard it at least 30 years. https://www.wordsense.eu/please/

  4159. These are really fun spots.

  4160. 16:04 - If you're interested in my opinion as a native English speaker, I would say it qualifies as an "arch" now, but it would not have back when it had doors in it. When it had doors, it would definitely be a "gate" but now I would probably call it the "old gate" with the word "old" being important not because of the age, but to convey what it used to be. "Arch" is also correct, but it doesn't convey its history.
    2
  4161. Great research. This was a very informative video.
    2
  4162. Yes definitely do a part 3!
    2
  4163. Sometimes it's dialectical as far as I know. But it's also used on purpose when somebody is counting or for example telling a phonenumber. The numbers 2 (zwei) and 3 (drei) are otherwise easy to be mixed up when you only hear them because they sound so similar.
    2
  4164. GO BENGALS!

  4165. I would love to see the old videos. You are a good person Felicia. I am sorry you had to go through all this. I think you are fabulous! Ps. Are they going to patent "sports" cars "hot-dogs" and "mobile" phones? It gets a little crazy.

  4166. I'll have to check out Ground News. Thanks for the tip.

  4173. Czech-English false friends proud = stream, (electric) current dub = oak list = leaf, sheet pod = under pot = sweat most = bridge pasta = a paste to = it led = ice let = flight bit = beaten house = gosling kontrolovat = to check rod = gender "Soused" sounds like "so sad", but it actually means "neighbor".

  4174. Yikes!! I have mispronounced every single one of these!

  4180. I follow different channels of Germans in the USA and Americans in Germany. Usually it's all about stereotypes, language barriers, culuture shocks, reversed culture shocks and reversed reversed culture shocks. I noticed that German Girl in America is adressing unusual topics lately that aren't covered by any other channel. I really appreciate this. Feli is different. I like that a lot. At topic: I was raised with the Brother Grimm versions of the fairytales. I wouldn't say that the Disney versions are bad storytelling. It's just that I am to old to relate to Disney. (Yes, I am old. You don't have to tell me.) I am especially fond of the tale of "Rübezahl" (Beet number/Counting turnips. I don't know how to translate it), because the princess isn' t the usual damsel in distress.

  4183. The last member of the White Rose group died on March 6, 2023: Traute Lafrenz. This week’s Economist magazine obituary is of her. When I was in Munich last year I learned about the White Rose and was fascinated. The anti nazi movements within Germany are not part of most English speaking history courses except at the University level. The leaflet dump they did in the atrium provided far more influential that they could have dreamed. With weeks the leaflets were in the hands of resistance groups all over Europe and within a month in the hand of allied intelligence. Sadly they had all been rounded up and most had been brutally executed by then.
    2
  4184. Feli — with respect, it is your imperfections that make us love you just that much more! And yes, Beervarian mugs should definitely be a thing! 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  4185. Can I say it's very embarrassing when you bring up that some Americans don't believe in facts. I completely agree with you. It's even scarier in the south.
    2
  4186. Thanks for great content. I was in Munich in 1973 and had a wonderful time. Augustiner-Brau definitely the best!

  4187. sheibenkleister seems like on of those "im about to swear but i caught myself" like in english(especially religious folks) will say "cheese and rice" instead of "jesus christ" when theyre frustrated

  4188. Good Luck to you both.

  4189. Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾. The satisfaction on being free after having your Green Card is something Americans wont understand. I have been in the usa since 2002 got my Green Card after getting married to a German American in 2014. In 2017 got my permanent resident. Then in 2019 I became an American Citizen. One thing I am going to add is the process is expensive, so start saving your money. The whole amount for me to start from student visa to Green Card, Permanent Resident and Citizenship was about $12,000 with a good immigration lawyer whom you must have for the whole process to go smoothly. Immigration laws are so complicated in the USA, trust me.

  4190. In Polish we say ,,milion" for ,,milion" ,,miliard' for ,,billion" ,,aktualny" for ,,current" ,, materiał" for ,,fabric" ,,ordynarny" for ,,vulgar" ,, zwyczajny" for,,ordinary"

  4197. Sehr amüsant ihr zwei! :) Ich hab es sehr genoßen zu erfahren was ihr alles erlebt und wie das ist beide Sprachen so gut zu sprechen. Bin echt neidisch, aber kann es ja selbst ändern! Freue mich auf weitere Video, macht weiter so! Servas ;)

  4205. Congratulations. When I saw the knife in your right hand I thought please be careful and don't cut yourself. You are still healing, no need to start over. This may just be the parent in my head speaking. HAHAHA. Stay safe. Take care. 😃

  4206. Very Enjoyable and a history lesson.

  4208. Your discussion of different accents in Germany and the U.S. led me to find videos about guessing American accents. Check this out and join the guessing game: https://youtu.be/gb3mEAfOVY8 :D On another note, I would LOVE to see you two discuss German idioms and how the "translate" into English and vice versa!

  4209. Your best video ever. I'm going to Chicago............. Thank you.

  4210. Please do make a part two. The slippers in the house makes sense but I rarely do it. When I was in school we were required to use a pencil on most schoolwork. Pens only on written essays etc. They don't even teach cursive in public schools in my area any more.
    2
  4211. A lot more travel and personal vlogs

  4212. Thanks!

  4213. This is fascinating. More please.

  4214. Nürnberg is very important, but not the uncontested "Christmas capital of Germany". Dresden (where the best Christstollen comes from) is just as important. And Aachener "Printen", a special type of Lebkuchen, are a famous Christmas staple as well.

  4215. So tempting! It's been years since I visited Munich.

  4217. In my hometown it was common to go around the houses at Faschingsdienstag or -montag and ask for money or treats. Dont know if thats a common thing in other parts of Bavaria. There is even a phrase you have to say i still remember. " I bin a kloana Bumbanickl und hob an großn Sog, und weil i no nix drinna hob drumm bitt i um a Gob".
    2
  4218. Danke! I was mocked and teased mercilessly for pronuncing Mercedes correctly here in London for decades, that I gave up and start mispronouncing it like everyone else.
    2
  4219. Thank you for the in-depth video. A surprisingly serious topic for a channel that tends to be on the lighter side. I love your content, even though German is my mother tongue ;-), and think it's really great that you also deal with topics that aren't so funny.
    2
  4220. And you like to say squirrel. LoL much congratulations on having 50K subs. And I hope 2020 is the year it really blows up and grows.

  4222. Well....I'm a German and living at the moment with corona in Germany. Thank you for the nice video and for correcting the video of this other guy. You are right in most things. Germany is a really safe and nice place to live, even if it rains more than in other countries. We have high taxes and 42% of the income will be for the state. But the other 58% is ordinary enough to life. Average net wages is in Germany 3.323€/3.586$ in USA 4.451€/4.804$ (Source: Länderdaten.info). But like you said, we have many benefits of this taxes. All people have a kind of health insurance and ordinary if you have to go to a doctor or a hospital you don't have to pay for this. Even if you are really ill. For example: Anybody has to pay money for a coronatest/coronatreatment even if he/she needs ICU Care. Or for example Job insurance: In Germany all workers need by law a working contract. It depends on the time how long you had been working for a company, but you have a term of notice up to a year. The company resigns you and let you work with full salary until the term of notice has ended. After this you have 2 years a Worklessinsurance which grant's you a monthly income without working. After this 2 year had passed we have a social care system. There you get more than enough money for living until you find another job. And this are only two benefits especially related to the actual crises. Well German isn't the easiest language, but I don't like english too. Even if it is easier. Sorry for mistakes.😅 I'm living now 40 years in Germany and I seldom saw people like "Nazi's". I think that every country, even the USA has their extreme right-wing guys. But this isn't that major problem in Germany. By the way...In the USA between 1st and 8th January 2020...1006 people had been killed related to guns.(de.statistica.com) In the whole year 2018 in Germany 4 people had been killed by a gun and in the same time we had in average 695 criminal acts per month related with a gun. Even if you think that USA has 4.5 times more citizens, I think germany is really save. I don't know who this guy is or what he wanted to reach with his video, but the numbers haven't been right, the assumptions were wrong and he tried to show only negative sides of the country. In fact is Germany a really save and nice place to stay. Now a little bit german...with this disgusting long words. Hallo liebe Bloggerin. Danke für die Korrektur diese blöden Typen. Mir kommt er wie einer dieser absolut rechten Amerikaner vor. Insbesondere wie er zu Beginn auf sie deutsche Asylpolitik zielte. Ich persönlich finde du hast ihm sehr gut sie Luft genommen und ihn mit Zahlen und Fakten entkräftet. Vielen Dank dafür. Ich hoffe bei euch geht es soweit noch, bezüglich Corona, auch wenn es wohl eine etwas andere Situation als bei uns ist. Halte durch und bleib gesund. Halte dich an dir Regelungen, ich persönlich denke, dass was der "Chef" der USA täglich mitteilt ist fast nur Mist. Also bleib mit deine Lieben zuhause und vor allem gesund. Liebe Grüße aus Stuttgart. Kai

  4225. Pudding, traditionally in Britain, was a soft sweet or savoury dish but has been pretty much integrated with the French dessert which is a sweet dish served after the main meal.

  4226. What a cool video! Really enjoyed it! Ben is so good at reading mostly unknown German texts. I'm impressed. And his passion for culture and appreciation of the German sense of quality is so contagious. I see my own country from a fresh perspective. That's one thing I always liked about Germany or Europe in general, the rich culture and architecture, whereas America has incredible, breathtaking landscapes, but cardboard box architecture. Or these skyscrapers in the cities. Some buildings are quite nice, but the general architecture is nothing compared to Europe. Btw, that guy doesn't have a right to keep you from taking pictures, he has a right to keep you from publishing them. That's a big difference. Don't be too intimidated by some people's exaggerated sense of self importance, unfortunately, you encounter that quite often in Germany.
    2
  4227. I just stayed for 11 weeks in a day-care hospital here in Germany. And I had to pay 0€. Zero Euros! Would I be willing to trade this huge benefit of German health insurance for a little bit of friendliness or for better customer services? Hell, no! Never ever. Every country or society has its pros and cons but when it comes to the really important things Germany beats the US in every aspect.
    2
  4228.  @FelifromGermany  Yes, or in a larger sense, because the Swiss are not in the EU. The Swiss are smart :) Thanks again for the video.

  4237. Never thought about all that, a mattress over springs or air mattress with covers, two sheets, two blankets, pillow and cover, and sleeping bag for winter, thanks for the update, Feli, ❤see you next time, I smashed the like👍👍
    2
  4238. Actually, ceiling fans and natural air flow would compliment each other very well.
    2
  4239. So much interesting stuff, especially with all the different accents. When I, an American, lived in England for awhile sometimes other American's there couldn't tell where I was from.

  4243. Prost to the US!!🍻 Es gibt Clubs in Berlin da gehst Du Freitag Nacht hinein und kriechst Sonntag am Morgen Richtung U-Bahn mit Zwischenstopp an der Dönerbude wieder hinaus. Zumindest war das früher in meiner Jugend so. Eine Freundin von mir arbeitet in einer 24h Bar. So ein schönes, leckeres Bauern-Frühstück dazu ein frisch gezapftes Bier mmhh 😜😁 Tolles Video, dich machen wir noch zur inoffiziellen Botschafterin in den USA. Übrigens ist die Geschichte des Bieres eine sehr Interessante, falls du mal Zeit hast, man glaubt gar nicht wie wichtig die sogar ist für die Welt. Vielen Dank für dein Video Hast einen ordentlichen Blutwurz mit dir?

  4254. Fun episode. When I was stationed in Germany, I LOVED the rolling shutters and the tilt windows. Would love to have been able to install rolling shutters when I built my house. Not much sleeping with open windows in Texas - Too Hot all summer. Grew up with top sheets and still use them. Not too fussy either way.

  4255. Has Ben only been studying German for a month? He certainly seems a very quick learner to be able to understand you and also so speak without much hesitation. Is it that you are immersing him in German?

  4256. Just liked your video during the intro!

  4257. Very good video. A few days ago i saw a short documentation about this topic on the channel Arte.

  4259. Glad you're doing fine! Happy thoughts, Feli!

  4260. Puh, hab beim Verkauf von Sonnenbrillen immer wieder das Wort "decent" verwendet 😂 danke für das Video
    2
  4261. Yes, finally my favorite: pathetic. I only figured out what pathetic actually means a couple months ago.
    2
  4262. Definitely interested in more about German dialects! 😊
    2
  4263. Fascinating! It’s a lot to process. Good video!

  4264. It’s really refreshing to see the “normal” or unrehearsed German Girl. Makes me like her even more!

  4266. I love this. My bilingual ass is a happy camper right now

  4267. A lot of these comment is why I hate a lot of Americans. I grew up with guns in the South, I've been in the US military for 19 years and sent a lot of rounds down range on a lot of weapons systems in a lot of different settings. Grow up. The US government has more firepower than all humans on the planet combined, and there are very few times where I've ever felt I really would have felt better with a firearm. If you think you're tough, if you're not if you need a gun. I have NEVER needed a gun a my life, on the civilian side, I've walked the streets of some of the most "dangerous" places in the US. I do always carry a knife, but never needed for protection. You fools need to stop worshiping guns. If you're mind cannot solve a problem, a gun never truly will.
    2
  4268. This was so well done. Unlike so many other videos of this type, this was 10 out of 10.
    2
  4269. How about a Video where Ben has to guess the german dialect. It might not be too bad to learn some things that aren't standard german.
    2
  4270. Feli, you always make me laugh!! Your the best!
    2
  4271. Cool video! I used to live in the Rhineland state for a couple of years but don't remember anything about the carnival,so cool you can drink legally at 16, a lot of kids drink here at 16 here but have to hide it due to drinking laws here👎 Good info on the history of the Carnival!
    2
  4272. 😞 But it was another great video! 🙂
    2
  4273. Loved this video! My family here in Louisiana is of French heritage and we had the tradition of stockings that had fruit and nuts in them on Christmas morning as well as a small gift. I'm certain these similarities stemmed from some German tradition as well.
    2
  4274. this is very educational... but most people still say it the way they want to & they do not want to be corrected
    2
  4275. We also have a lot of these words in french! Chef, sympa, sensible

  4276. We need a beer video!

  4277. Here in Berlin I walk much, much more than in the States. And if it's too far to walk in a reasonable time the public transportation is amazing. U-Bahn, Straßenbahn (trams), S-Bahn (light rail) and buses. Back home in the suburbs there is really no choice, public transportation and bike paths are virtually non-existant.

  4278. Köszönjük!

  4279. What a coincidence that this came out on the day my best friend from Germany is visiting lol I love the fact that I know German thank god 😂

  4284. Danke, du hast den Wahlkampf hier sehr gut zusammengefasst. Auch als Deutscher der die Entwicklungen genau verfolgt hat, habe ich sogar ein paar neue interessante Fakten erfahren.
    2
  4285. One is English, one is German. There are no two names. German is the Latin word of a tribe living in Germany 2000 years ago. The french knew another tribe, they call it Allemande. (from Allemannic). In slawic languages it's called Nemetz. The British got mixed up with the languages also, that they call the people from Netherland the Dutch, although the word Deutsch refers to germans. That all happened centuries ago. The germans wonder more, why swine turns in pork, or cattle into beef, if you kill it ;-)

  4286. Very interesting and informative video. Thank you for sharing.
    2
  4287. I have been to Wiesen 5 times, and stayed in 5 different places. I wish that I had seen this before I went the first time, your tips on dos and don'ts are extremely helpful for anyone that hasn't been there before. If you go next year, maybe I will see you there.
    2
  4288. I also had books of the Struwwelpeter (that one really scared me as a child, especially those long fingernails of the figure on the cover) and Max und Moritz (which didn't scare me at all, but is really cruel as well, thinking about it now). I actually didn't watch any of the disney movies and remember the stories of snowhite and the frog prince as you told them. I knew a little bit more children friendly version of cinderella, however. It was similar to the original one with the birds and lentils, but I don't remember the eyes of the sisters being picked out. I am also not sure if cutting off parts of the feet was mentioned, but I do remember the rime with the blood in the shoe. When I was a child, my favourite fairytale was "Des Kaisers neue Kleider", I found it really funny.

  4289. Dein Freund ist ja mal einfach MEGA sympathisch. Ich würde sagen "guten Fang gemacht". Und ich finde es total cool, dass er Deutsch lernen will. Viel Glück euch beiden und Erfolg für die Deutsch-lern-challenge.

  4294.  @defenderdawg  The system doesn't protect smaller states right now. It gives absurd power to a few swing states, some of them quite large in population. The founding fathers could not have known what the US would eventually look like. Many of them were against political parties, let alone only two of them (the partisan landscape only looks like this since after the Civil War) carving up the country. But even if you ignore all that, smaller states don't just get "protection" - their voters get dominance over the majority in both chambers of parliament, the executive branch and (by extention) the judiciary. And to be frank, that benefits one party, whose current platform would not ever get a popular majority. It's just not democratically viable.

  4295. Bitteshoen! 🌹 I’m sooo... happy for you! Merch would be nice; love the beer mug idea! I could add it to my small collection! 🍺 😂

  4296. Thanks for the video, most of us will never get to experience Octoberfest in Munich.
    2
  4297. That was very informative. I only knew a little bit about the Brothers Grimm and the original versions of these stories. I'm glad you shared that with us, Felecia.
    2
  4298. Actually, many new kitchen stoves now have gas on top and the oven is electric. The electric oven is more precise and can include options for convection style or rotisserie but the family cook will still prefer gas on the top. And, why wasn't your turkey in a roasting pan?

  4317. Thank you for your entertaining videos! 😀 It brings back memories of my youth while living in West Germany! Do you know when the drinking age last changed in Germany? When I was only 12 years old living in Heidelberg long ago, an event came to town that was setup close to where we lived, and I was able to go to the beer tent (with women dressed in Dirndls) and I ordered beers with no questions asked! I got so sick that night! 🤢 ... I don't drink that much these days! 😉

  4318. Thanks for the interesting video today I enjoyed it🤗🎃

  4319. Hello, Felicia! I just found your channel and enjoyed this video! I have German blood in my veins (my last name is Stetler). When you mentioned that someone asked about loosing your accent I was suprised. I do hear a bit of the Bavarian sounds in your voice but it acctually sounds great. I hope you succeed in all you do here in America.

  4320. Congratulations on the 100K and the silver play button!!! Your channel has really exploded the past few months.

  4326. Thanks! Thank you for your recent videos on the German elections, parliament structure and freedom of speech. Very helpful. Well done and some of your best. Also, thank you for informing us of Wahl-o-mat. That was a lot of fun.

  4327. Good job :-) Your kitty is awesome; kitty loves looking out the window n napping in sunshine.

  4328. I had an Austrian person ask why Americans call their money "Bugs", i had to explain that its actually "Bucks", and is just a slang term.

  4329. I have traveled to many countries around the world, including Germany and Italy and I have tasted many varieties of icecream and frozen desserts, including many flavors of gelato, but I prefer the the creamy texture and vast variety of flavors of American icecream. There is no comparison for me.

  4333. You could try singing “red leather...” up and down the musical scale.😀 Loved the video!

  4334. Fascinating dialog! As a native bi-lingual, I've encountered many of the situations you discussed. I really enjoyed this video.

  4335. Thank you very much, that you corrected all those wrong „ informations“ - this guy simply does not like Germany and wants find reasons for that..... you did a great job ! 🙋

  4336. Loved it! Please do another part!

  4337. I always pronounce audi, nivea, adidas the German way. That's the only way I know. I'm nigeria by the way. American pronunciations are different from what I'm used to.

  4339. Zwar ist das ein älteres Video, aber ich bin voll erwischt worden😂. Jedes Mal ( ich arbeite im Verkauf ) wenn ein Kunde eine Beratung möchte, und ich merke er hat Schwierigkeiten mit der deutschen Sprache, gehe ich zum englischen über. Im englischen bin ich ganz gut, bei weitem nicht perfekt, aber es reicht. Ich dachte immer es wäre ein Entgegenkommen, hab aber nie darüber nachgedacht ob es dem jeweiligen Recht ist. Deine Videos hatten also einen Lerneffekt 😂. Und sie sind super unterhaltsam, auch für eine Deutsche!
    2
  4340. Thanks for sharing this trip with us!
    2
  4341. Thanks again for an amazing video! One of the things that has made America so great is because it is filled with good people from around the world. We are a young nation (in the grand scope of this world) comprised of immigrants. People came from elsewhere for many different reasons -- including both liberty and opportunity. We are lucky as a country to have had so many wonderful people become a part of this "great American melting pot." At the same time, we need to continue listening to and learning from people around the world. GGIA (German Girl in America) is one of those people who make this country great!
    2
  4342. Wow, I am so surprised at how many Americans in the comments have said they had never heard of the jawline as being a thing or at least one of the multitude of features on a person's face that contribute to attractiveness. As an American myself, I really notice the jawline and how that contributes to making a person look more feminine or masculine. However, this could be because I am an artist and love sketching portraits and I am very good at getting a likeness of the person. So I suppose I am just much more hyper sensitive to the shapes of the features of a person's face. I have also always been very into animation and am aware of how female versus male characters are drawn to distinguish gender. One of those details would be the jawline. And perhaps it is the invention of animation and comics a century ago that made the jawline a more noticeable feature. The physical differences between man and women are drawn slightly exaggerated, simplified, and idealized. One of these details would have been the jawline, as can be seen in even the 1930's Superman as being more square and thus attributed at being masculine and strong. And if you compare this to the drawing of Lois Lane or any female character you'll see a difference in how the jawline is drawn.

  4344. Hi Felicia. I would support a Patreon page. Also, since you already have Affiliate links to things that I don't need such as Microphones, you definitely have to sell Merch for things I really need like German Beer Mugs :-)
    2
  4345. Love this video Felicia. We spent Christmas and New Years in Munich 2 years ago. We enjoyed the Christmas Markets and of course the gluhwein. Something very interesting and different that in USA is that most of the restaurants were close for dinner and all the supermarkets, We did not know it and did not make any reservations so, we end up eating at the train station😳 that was the only place with food that did not requiere reservations . Lol. For New Year’s Eve, we did make a reservation ahead of time and after that we enjoyed the crazy fireworks 💥 at Marienplatz. It was a lovely trip .
    2
  4346. Yes. A part three 😊 I like the way the Marine Corps taught us to do our dates like this ... 16 Mar 2020 Tomorrow is St Patrick's Day. Is there an equivalent to that in Germany?
    2
  4347. Loved this video, Felicia! I have several friends in Germany whom I originally met through a Facebook group formed from the YouTube channel "Germany vs. USA". And yes, there are quite a lot of cultural, political, and even socio-economic differences between us. The numbers thing, for example, but even how you count on your hands, is different. I was born about 22 years before you, and so my time in school (Kindergarden - 12th, 1977-1990) was still "back when" handwriting and printing were taught. It's my general memory that we were taught print first, then taught handwriting, and we used both for quite a while. I don't have a clear distinction in my memory any more when or if there was a point at which we ever stopped using handwriting. I think perhaps it transitioned to a point where we could print if we wanted to, but I remember all the students around me to varying degrees using both throughout K-12. When I heard, probably vier oder fünf years ago that they were (or were about to) end the practice of teaching handwriting, I kind of felt like it was just another nicety taken away. Don't misunderstand, I'm not hung up on the past, and how things "used to be done". It's just that some things aren't bad. However, there's also other priorities here in the U.S., particularly associated with (whatever the education industry term is for it) continuous achievement testing, and cookie-cutter "standardized testing" and its associated curriculum. In my view, that's really squeezed out so much that used to be taught, or simply so much that used to be done. BTW, regarding what you said about birthday parties, groups of people, greetings and partings... as someone born here in the U.S. (up in Euclid, Ohio, actually) I think I like the German notion of how it should be handled better than my own culture's norms. Speaking of my home town (which I left in 1982), if you get a chance you should visit Cleveland. The "Emerald Necklace" which is our metro park system is kind of nice. I really miss Ohio sometimes, and I definitely as an adult miss the change of seasons.

  4348. This was a fun video. I am an American, in my 30s and my parents read these original stories to me too. And just last month, the old version of the Frog Prince was an assigned reading for my 6 year old son. Maybe because we have a big influence of German immigrants in my region?

  4349. I do enjoy an occasional vlog....

  4350. In the Netherlands we also do the 'three sign' in the same way Germans do :)

  4351. The last time I experienced White Christmas was at latest 2009 and I am from Düsseldorf. I spent last Christmas & New Year in Nuremberg and it was more snow than in Düsseldorf but only 2cm. Somedays I want Sunday to go shopping which I thinks comes from the South Korean videos I watched.

  4352. Danke, Feli!! Your videos are always so informative... and they always make me feel so good. You have such a beautiful personality here. :)

  4380. Beautiful vlog, thanks for sharing your impressions and what an amazing beach, really nice. I totally love beaches and water. It seems you had a lot of fun at this time and that's just wonderful to see you guys using a time out from everything, it's necessary from time to time. Don't worry, believe it or not you look pretty good without any make up and of course with some as well!! You did it right!!!
    2
  4381. Hallo Felicia. Thomas. You should of paint your wall sea blue with flowered wallpaper border along the ceiling. But leave the ceiling gloss white or a dull eggshell color. To me that would nice. After all it's your room. Create it to your flavor. You did a good job. Tcussi Felicia😉👍✌

    2
  4386. Wow. What a big topic. I am glad you made this video. This topic needs all the light shed on it as possible. Lots of people refuse to acknowledge this. I am happy you are. Maybe you could help spur the real change that is needed.

  4387. You are almost at 150,000 subs...You deserve all the accolades...Congrats..!

  4390. Hi Felicia! I recently subbed to your channel. I have a question if you get to see it: could you discuss some of the differences between different regional dialects like low german (plattdeutsch) and bavarian. How different are austrian and swiss german from german in germany. If you learned standard german from germany would you be able to communicate with any german speaker or does it really depend on what country/region you are in? #askagerman

  4397. Hi Felicia, really a great video with deep reflections and empathy: I also did live in Cincinnati and now live in München and can so much appreciate what you are feeling and saying. Keep up the great work!

  4398. Congrats! And thanks for the guided Tour through Munich! 😃

  4399. Just a brief comment on this, particularly for Feli... From what I am able to pick up on (I actually watched another Q&A video you did after this one before actually watching this one) you're pretty fortunate that you found Ben. I'm not saying this to stroke his ego, but just that there's a LOT of idiots out there (stereotypical "idiot Americans") who function as though the rest of the world is America's play-thing, everyone needs to bow and scrape and service us, etc. CLEARLY Ben is not like that, and that is soooooo cool. I think you found a good one! :D What Ben said in this video as well as the other one which came after is also something I personally found to be true: Germany is an absolutely beautiful country with so many amazing places, and Germans (no matter their reputation here in the U.S.) are a very lovely people to know and deal with. If you treat them with humility and as fellow human beings, that's how they'll treat you in return. I love love love Germany and can't wait to go back there myself. And I'm also so thrilled for Ben that he's found someone who seems to really complete him and with whom he has the potential to be the person he was truly born to be. Yay for you both!

  4400. Where do you have to pay entrance to drink beers at Oktoberfest?
    2
  4401. Thanks for sharing your road trip. If ever in Wisconsin. Milwaukee has Summerfest for great music and there’s Wisconsin Dells as well. It’s the water park capital.

  4402. Hi Feli, you should do this more often! Ich fand es sehr gut, mal etwas anders als sonst :) Viele Grüße aus Frankfurt (aka Mainhatten)

  4403. Thanks!

  4404. The decimal point between the US and Germany used to confuse me. This video is very interesting!
    2
  4405. I like a supposedly typical German property in your videos: precision or accuracy! Also how you switch effortlessly to a proper German accent when pronouncing German words. Greetings from Schleswig-Holstein.

  4406. He took the video down! Thank you for clarifying you did a great job😊👌🏻👍🏻

  4407. Churches are not taxed. The government grants the two churches (Roman Catholic and Protestant) to use the tax system to collect the membership fees which saves a lot of administrative expenses. There are quite a few "free" churches that don't use the tax system and members just have to pay their membership fee.

  4408. Congratulations! I applied on the day they changed the law (June 27th) and my interview is scheduled for January!

  4409. First 32 minute video I watch without getting bored. Great content! Keep it up!

  4410. Super Video, sehr interessant und professionell gemacht. Bitte mehr davon 😀💯

  4411. Congratulations! Happy New Year!

  4412. Great video, Feli. That was a lot of work, for sure, but the results are awesome! 😍
    2
  4413. The video is on point and totally great! It's pretty much the southern perspective you described and I really love the bavarian Biergarten. You just missed out the GREAT "Vatertag" (fathersday) on "Himmelfahrt"/(Acension Day) and the tradition for german men (and often women too) to roam nature with a handcart and LOTS OF BEER/ALCOHOL. The handcarts are often modified with speakers, coolers, electrical motors, etc... At least in the north all those groups meet at local lakes for party. Most of those groups start at 9 to 10am and end in the evening (19/20pm). It depends on the total alcohol consumption haha...
    2
  4414. So, I really appreciate your collective commitment to go into this issue of inter-cultural life in a matter of some depth. There are quite a few videos out there that seem intent on going over the same old tropes (the electrical fixtures are different, Americans don't use the metric system, what is the best fast-food hamburger, etc.) but I have stayed a subscriber because you seem willing to be both more creative and more thoughtful than some other channels. I will check out the podcast, and both of you have my best wishes for its future. I am looking forward to it.

  4416. Note that college football is a bigger deal in some areas, altogether eclipsing professional sports, particularly in areas with a school whose team is actually competitive (e.g., OSU, whose stadium holds more than a hundred thousand people and regularly sells out).

  4417. The Hofbräuhaus in Newport is one of my favorite places when I’m in Cincy! Especially with the live bands when people dance on the tables.

  4418. In America, we know The Frog Prince because of Shelly Duvall's Fairytale Theatre. A children's television show from the 80s-early 90s in which Hollywood's best and brightest would reenact the Fairytales of the Grimms, Perault, and Anderson in addition to stories from American folklore like Rip van Winkle, John Henry, and Pecos Bill. Robin Williams played the Frog Prince.

  4419. Thanks!

  4420. Teil drei? Ja, bitte. 😃 I’ve noticed some of these with the German group I sing with. Many of the members are German expatriates.

  4421. Good job to you both, or the both of you

  4422. In 2018 we was in Münich and the english park was fantastic. It was a so damn big heatwave then and it was so nice to jump in the channel and taking a bath :D fantastic city.

  4423. Kitty is pretty cute. Good to know you are a cat person. I like dogs too, but I’m a cat person. Love the map on the ceiling. And those wood doors are nice.

  4424. i have yet to find a bagel in german stores that comes close to the NYC quality. as a german that is one thing i really miss having lived in the US.

  4425. Thank you for your video and I’m grateful on behalf of my country that you are here!
    2
  4426. This is so interesting! I like this format a lot and would totally watch a follow up.
    2
  4427. Exactly. I don’t know if the person packing behind me is trained, let alone sane. I would actually feel less safe.

  4428. Thanks!

  4429. Just a quick comment.. just wanted to say that you are obviously a beautiful & intelligent women. I think that you represent Germans/Germany with the utmost respect and we are all happy to have someone like you in our country. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch and it's so nice to see you accepting of all cultures without being mean or hateful like so many people are these days. I have traveled quite a bit in my life but you've actually inspired me to take a trip to Germany. I definitely appreciate you taking the time to enlighten us about your culture and give your honest opinions about life in America - so thank you for that. I was just curious too if you've ever visited Cleveland, Ohio? (It's where I live). Also, have you visited Kings Island while in Cincinnati? I've always heard Germans love Amusement Parks :-).
    2
  4430. Thanks Feli! I’ve been watching your videos for months now as I prepare for my first trip to Germany ! I have found them super helpful in learning about cultural differences, some history, etc. and found them so enjoyable & have shared some with my husband to help prepare him as well! We may overlap our trip with yours a little?? Not sure of exact dates, but it would be fun to run into you. We start in Munich at Oktoberfest then on to Fussen, Zugspitze, Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, then end in Berlin, all by train. I can’t wait! I’ve been doing Duolingo for 240days straight just to learn a little German & be somewhat familiar with it. Any last minute advice?
    2
  4431. Just a big, big YES to that whole video!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤓🤓🤓🤓🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

  4432. That's so cool! I grew up in Pennsylvania Amish country, and I remember some of those awesome chocolates. The only places you can get some of that stuff now are at Lidl or Aldi supermarkets.
    2
  4433. At 1:37...THANK you for that reminder. I appreciate your perspective and hope America can eventually start implementing new measures to help our long standing problems.
    2
  4434. Omg i have the same struggle while translating😂
    2
  4435. So glad you were able to visit Chicago's Christkindlemarket, something that I, as far suburban Chicagoan was not able to do this year. Frohes Fest, und einen guten Rutsch!
    2
  4436. I love history. Thank you very much. I am of German descent.
    2
  4437. Thank you! I've learned (at least) two new things: Never ever drink Weissbier out of the bottle (admittedly I did many times), and at least in Bavaria don't finish your glass fully, since there is the "Spuckschluck" remaining. Well, in the North of Germany most of us do just that I guess. ;o)
    2
  4438. Well deserved - congratulations for this achievement!! Your channel is an intercultural learning channel (ILC instead of TLC). Du bist ja schon gut in Richtung 200K unterwegs - solltest schon bald ein größeres Regal suchen :-)

  4439. unglaublich, bin sehr beeindruckt.

  4440. Leonardo Di Caprio used to visit his Grandma even when he already was a big film star. She lived in Marl. I'm originall from Recklinghausen which is a neighbouring city of Marl and sometimes he was mentioned to have been there in the local newspapers. I think it is heartwarming to have such a good relationship even at this distance.

  4441. wow you are almost at 100k! Im so happy for you omg! Congratulations!!!1

  4442. As an Ami who lived in Germany for five years, I agree with the statements about German baked good being a little more crunchy. Regarding broetchen, it was delicious just out of the oven and still warm -- a crisp crust and heavenly taste. Your point about it being less fresh the second day kinda makes the reason for softer US bread easier to understand -- Americans don't shop every day and we expect bread to be "fresh" for at least a week after purchased. My German broetchen was only good for bread crumbs on the third day after purchase. I recall some bakeries sold a special bread on Saturday which was still pretty good on Sunday (the bakeries closed on Sundays).

  4443. Ein weiteres unterhaltsames und informatives Video. Thanks so much !

  4452. We suffered through our first 35C day of the year over here in Germany and we were successful at surviving without AC! We finally figured out the perfect combination of window opening times and a dark cave home and fans during the day to keep it cool(ish) inside 😂

  4453. OK wow. Als sie gesagt hat das er Akzent frei Deutsch spricht dachte ich mir ja OK man hört es aber sicher so einwenig raus. Als ich den ersten deutschen Satz von ihm gehört habe dachte ich mir nur WTF alter. Ich war geschockt. Manche die 20 30 Jahre in Deutschland/Österreich leben sprechen nicht so fielen wie er. Das ist wirklich unglaublich 😳😯 I am shocked
    2
  4454. I'd love to go.
    2
  4455. I find it interesting that some of the German used words were actually older US slang. 'Box' for example was a term I heard often in the 80s when referring to speakers. Also... the word 'safe' is or was a slang term in England with a similar meaning to the German slang.
    2
  4456. Congratulations on 50K subs! I hope you get many more. Love your channel.
    2
  4457. You are a very good observer, it's not just the usual stereotypes that are kind of repeated throughout YouTube.
    2
  4458. Congrats! I really like your videos, you’re so charming, upbeat and sincere what’s not to like! Cheers 🍻 Merch. doesn’t even have to be branded, what about introducing US people to any stuff you love from Germany although the stein is definitely a winner :)

  4459. OMG... I can´t watch anymore :-D This is so funny :_DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  4460. Not a big fan of group trips, but a trip with the “Friends of Feli” might be just the thing. Hmm.

  4465. Jojo Rabbit is an amazing film! You should watch it

  4466. Im an American. First time I've ever heard of this. USA is a big country. Could be something that's only in one part of the country. Or different part of the country. I've heard of jawline but I mean never thought it was a big deal or something people put a lot of emphasis on. Could be a big deal in like LA or something where people are a bit more concerned with things like that or plastic surgery. Really have no good explanation.
    2
  4467. Hog is also a slang term for motorcycles as well, giving the American title a second meaning
    2
  4468. When I was younger, the phrase, "drive through", was almost never used in American English. What are now called "drive throughs" were called "drive ins". You can still use "drive in" that way -- any native American English speaker should understand you. We use context to distinguish the different meanings of "drive in".

  4469. NOW I SEE WHY THIS VIDEO IS RECOMMENDED TO ME😊 1:Energy 2:Beauty 3:Quality 4k
    2
  4470. It appears you are on the rise! Before today I had not heard of your channel. One of your prior videos came up as a suggested one for me. Honestly, I thought it was going to be something I’d skip over and move on after a minute or two. Yeah, I was wrong. Your videos are super interesting and informative! I spent about an hour or more watching your content early this morning while not being able to sleep. I appreciate the topics you cover and enjoy hearing your views on the US, even if I disagree on some stuff. Learning more about German culture is great, too. I would LOVE to visit some day. I know you did the warm beer thing a while back, but perhaps you could do one on the beer differences-like lousy beer-or the great ones-versus Bavarian purity (Franziskaner is one of my absolute favorite beers). It’s just stuff I’ve read and know very little about. Congratulations on 50k! If you have student loan debt I hope your channel can help pay all that off VERY soon. Keep up the great content! Cheers! 🍻

  4471. in some parts of India, there is a custom where the bride's brother steals the groom's shoes and asks for "ransom" in order to return the shoes...... in Bayern you kidnap the whole bride..... 😲🤦‍♂ (all in good fun, i suppose)

  4472. Warum gibt es in Rumänien eine derart hohe Rate? Viele der in öffentlicher Hand stehenden Apartments und Häuser - und damals gab es im dortigen Sozialimus sehr viele davon - wurden nach der Hinrichtung Ceaușescus (in 1989) "für 'n Appel und 'n Ei" an die Mieter verkauft (auch um den Ausverkauf an internationale Immobilienhaie zu vermeiden). Es wurden Preise <10000 DM für 60 m² aufgerufen (und die mussten in Leu bezahlt werden, nicht etwa in einer starken Währung. Da viele Rumänen vorher mit dem eigenen Geld nicht viel kaufen konnten (ähnlich der Situation in der DDR) und es deshalb nicht ausgeben konnten, war die Kaufsumme quasi sofort vorhanden). Es ist klar, dass dann viele Mieter die Wohnung einfach gekauft haben, war die Alternative doch die, dass man anderenfalls mit sehr viel höheren Mieten rechnen musste. Zusätzlich für Deutschland: Der Standard Häuslebauer konnte in then 50ern (teilweise auch noch in den 60ern) ein Haus für 30-50K DM bauen. Es gab keine wesentlichen Restriktionen, was z.B. die Beheizung der Wohnung, die Isolierung, die Art und Weise des Dachausbaus und die elektrische Installation betraf. Auch musste damals das Haus für Ortsansässige nicht unbedingt genauso aussehen wie das Nachbarhaus, man musste nur mit dem entsprechenden Bauamtsleiter "reden" (Heute nicht mehr möglich). Das Dach oder die Installationen wurden damals sehr oft entweder von Bekannten und/oder unter der Hand gemacht. Auch dieses ist heute nicht mehr möglich, so dass überteuerte Fachfirmen diese Aufgabe übernehmen müssen.

  4473. Please x1000, make a whole video for musicians how to pronounce Johan Sebastian Bach... (and doing so make them finally understand that "BAK" is not the correct pron.). many thaks from Finland!
    2
  4474. I appreciate this channel how you put the camera in front of you and tell us the differences or the topic. No cats, no "I'm really sick and my lighting is bad", no Raid Shadow Legends, no distractions doing camera tricks, your videos are easy to watch and I feel educated and happy after watching. I understand those things need to happen for other channels, but I came to hear your opinion on the cultures in 5-10 minutes and I am glad you can tell them to us directly. Have a good day

  4484. I live in the uk but have travelled to Germany quite a bit. This video was so interesting! I was like oh yeah! I love the separate duvet’s and mattresses in Germany, I could not feel my partner moving at all and because there are 2 mattresses the bed is bigger which is nice. I also love the shutters as they make it pitch black. ❤
    2
  4485. The taxes for the majority of Germans are even lower because the median income is much lower than the average. The average income in Germany is especially misleading because of the high disparity between large number of low income and a small number of extremely high paying jobs (with an unemployment rate of almost 4 million people and Unterbeschäftigungsquote of 5.7 millions).

  4493. Please make a thrid part of this conversation! Thanks and Gruß aus München;-)
    2
  4494. I love your videos! Thank you so much! You are one of the few YouTubers that have inspired me to learn German. It would be nice to see a video about the hardest words to pronounce in German like "Eichhörnchen" for one.
    2
  4495. What a wonderful video, Feli... so much great info - just as with all of your vids/vlogs. And I just LOVE to listen to you speaking your native Deutsch; it sounds so lovely and musical!! p.s. You are so gorgeous, Feli... your eyes are so beautiful and captivating!!
    2
  4496. Hi Felicia: thanks for a great video. If you ever get a chance, you owe it to yourself to go to one NFL game. It is a unique experience. I've attended many an NFL game in a few different cities from childhood on -- & have been a diehard pro football fan for 50 years now. I know the Bengals didn't do so well, but you aren't ungodly far from Cleveland, Indianapolis or Pittsburgh, so there are a few teams to choose from. 👍🙂♥️🏈

  4497. Loved Munchen Oktoberfest years ago when I was stationed in Wiesbaden...Huge tents many stories up and people get drunk in the day but polluted at night!!! And went on American Express train trips was funny at night when people were drunk dancing in the dance cars

  4498. Meine Herren! Wo nimmst Du all diese Energie und Begeisterung her? Klar, der Erfolg motiviert! Dennoch hast Du hier etwas ganz anderes und einzigartiges ins Leben gerufen. Du unterscheidest Dich auf aller positivste Weise von so, so Vielen und Vielem. Bleib wie Du bist und vergiss nie wo Du herkommst.... und alles wird gut! Nur das Beste wünsche ich Dir!
    2
  4499. Another bizarre thing we Americans do: if we live within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores or other shops, we NEVER or rarely walk to them. We’d rather drive 15 min than cross the street. It makes it so we are less likely to patronize the stores we are closest to. It is also probably a reason why we are overweight my beautiful German friend. Don’t get me started on how door dash is making us lazier.

  4500. Definitely do a sequel maybe a regular break down/ segment like this

  4501. Als ich 15 Jahre alt war bin ich im Rahmen einer politischen Bildungsreise nach Polen gefahren. Ich war dann mit vielen Gleichaltrigen in einem Restaurant. Als die Bedienung die Bestellung aufnahm, meinte ich "i will become a Pizza Hawaii" ... das Gelächter war groß ... ich brauchte dann etwa zehn Sekunden um zu kapieren das ich doch nicht zu einer Pizza mutiert war und stimmte in die heitere Stimmung ein. Das ist mir seither dann nicht mehr passiert. :-D Tolles Video, viele Grüße

  4502. The roof closet is an amazing idea. Also I have germans friends that have solar panels in their house, which I think is mind blowing 🤯.

  4503. You are one of the most delightful persons I have ever listened to, because of your energy, objectivity, your positive attitude, and warm personality. Thank you for sharing !
    2
  4504. You should definitely re-upload some of your vids! If people see the vids and your face, they'll recognize you and your content even with the name change. Sorry for your abrupt introduction to American legal messes though...

  4507. My father and his family were all from Germany and I remember those folding rulers when I was kid.. you solved the mystery of where it came from! I remember when I lived in the US some people did have nicknames for certain people using their initials. In my country now, we use only nicknames when basically gossiping about someone but we don’t want to say their name. Also I think Americans put their crossed fingers behind their back when they are telling a lie. Anyway nice video!
    2
  4508. love this channel! We in the US need speech therapy to properly pronounce German, or just a lot of exposure to German.
    2
  4509. Hallo Felicia! Mir hat dein Video sehr gut gefallen. Besonders weil mir deine vernünftige Recherche zusagte. Ich bin froh und stolz und darüber und dankbar dafür, in Deutschland leben zu dürfen. Viele Grüße aus Hannover nach Ohio, Moritz 🇩🇪 PS: Vergangenes Jahr war ich für ein Trimester in Dänemark, dort gibt es hohe Steuern. 😁 PPS: Was hast du studiert?
    2
  4510. Great editing at the beginning of the video. I heard that Germans see the kitchen cabinets as furniture, and will take them when they move. Is that true? I do like the look of the toilet water tank in the wall, but that would just make the eventual maintenance more difficult. I like the German style windows.
    2
  4511. I could probably listen to yall speak in German all day, and not even care if you were talking about me, or anything in particular. It just sounds so neat.... and fast.... the mid west is alot different that were you guys are visiting. By far.... alot of it is more wide spread an open areas... you should check out the hover dam, or the Grand Canyon sometime..... really amazing views. I live in Oklahoma, love it here.... you know.... tornado alley.... lol actually I live in ground zero.... Moore, ok to be exact, but it's really not as bad as everyone hypes it up to be. Eh,
    2
  4512.  @FelifromGermany  I'm cool with that to be honest 😁🤟. I wonder if there's regional differences... I'm from the northeast. Totally gonna go down a Google rabbit with trail about this 😆

  4514. When I was growing up in the USA, a long, long time ago, sanitized versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales were quite popular. One that I remember quite well was "Hansel and Gretel". I don't think Disney ever made a movie of this story. Anyway, a very good video with lots of interesting information. Thanks!

  4515. I've been living in Austria since '82. And while I didn't move here for the bread, it's a most welcome perk.

  4516. WOW. Wunderbar. Love it.
    2
  4517. Dear Feli, Glad to know you are ok! Hope the surgery went well last week! Wishing you all good things and all the best. Take all the time you need to get better that is the most important thing! We can wait!
    2
  4518. As a rule of thumb for the wie/als case: if youre comparing with an adjective ending on an r (besser/größer/schöner) you tend to use als. If you're comparing you directly to someone like "i'm just like you" or "Ich bin genau wie du" you'd say wie. Aside of that I just wanted to say how impressed I am. I got relatives in the US who are from germany and they sound more american when they speak german. Good job !
    2
  4519. That was great fun following you around Chicago. I enjoyed your drinking Glühwein .. I actually did that at the Christkindlmarkt in Nuremberg years ago

  4521. Hallo. Ich lebe seit 1996 in Florida. Ich bin aus Karlsruhe 😊 ich finde es super wie sie versuchen deutsch zu sprechen. Es ist nicht einfach. Ich finde englisch ist viel leichter zu lernen. Ich bin ein Arschloch🤣🤣🤣
    2
  4522. My first tip for Ben: Relax (and train) your face-muscles !! In the german language is more "action" to get your lips in the right position than in the english to pronounce words the right way (i think). Puhhh... , den Satz auf Englisch zu schreiben war schon eine Challenge...für mich 😉
    2
  4523. Thanks!

  4526. Thanks!

  4527. I'm not even a subscriber, but I couldn't pass up this happy moment when I saw you in my feed (or whatever it's called). And, I'm astonished by how American you sound and act/project personality wise. Only by the channel name does it become obvious that you have an accent -- certain words/vowels have a very, very, very slight inflection. :-) Anyway, congrats -- and love the smile!!!
    2
  4528. Yes, there is! At the end of the 19th century, German author Karl May wrote several books about the (fictional) Apache chief Winnetou and his friendship with an immigrant German called Old Shatterhand. The two experience exciting adventures in the Wild West. The books were already very popular and were then made into several very successful films in the 1960s. These are still shown regularly on German television today (especially on public holidays). There are also several Karl May festivals in Germany, where the stories have been performed live for decades. I don't think many Americans have ever heard of it, though 🙂

  4529. I'm definitely not a typical American in that I hate using top sheets and never have them on my bed. I just use a fitted sheet with the padding underneath and a comforter. I also am perfectly fine with a single pillow. I know many friends almost require 2 pillows for sleeping. The thing I never really got used to when traveling in Europe was the fact that many showers didn't have a shower curtain. I always thought that was very odd... ;)

  4530. One of the reasons why I enjoy your videos is your positive outlook on things and how you're always looking for the brighter side.

  4531. I have never watched a vlog from Briggs before. I watch you all the time. After this vlog, I am certain both trends will continue.

  4537. The two of you did luck out with the weather. I'm in Colorado, and we're getting buried in snow.

  4538. One of the best things I loved when I lived in Germany is " saying it, as it is" I really apperciated the honesty and how frank the people are
    2
  4539. Great Video. I'm a fan of your channel. Sandra Bullock is one of my fave actors and so sweet. I was surprised when I learned, that Billy Joel is a half german (his father was german) and Josh Groban has german roots too. Billy and Josh are two of my favorite singer. Cheers from Berlin P.S.: Chocolate Soup (Schokoladensuppe mit Eischnee und Zwieback) is an east german recipe (DDR). My granny cooked it a lot and it is very delicious. Here the recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYyUO4mvssg&feature=emb_logo

  4540. Hey Felicia, one of my viewer recommended your channel to both me and my YouTube friend 'Get Germanized', so I thought to drop by and say hi! I teach and talk the German language & culture on YouTube, and most of my viewers are from the US :) Cheers from the Sauerland! 👊 Your fellow German Dave :D

  4541. Way to ACTUALLY educate listeners! I love your logical approach, not only to illuminate the concepts but also to provide explicit examples we native speakers can study.
    2
  4542. I was there this year on opening weekend, and again on closing weekend, my second year at the Wiesn. It's always great fun. I've already made plans to go next year - hopefully the weather will be better!
    2
  4543. I definitely want to go!! Great video! Big surprise for me were some of the songs in English. I just never expected that. Great drunken crowd singing songs though. I guess I just expected all German drinking songs.

  4544. I would be so wrong when writing in Deutschland. Great video, for without the illustrations I would not be clear. 👍⭐⭐⭐

  4546. Awesome video! Are you going to do a follow-up on her thoughts and opinions of her vacation? Was it her first time in the U.S.? Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on the new car!!! Owning a car gives a person a larger sense of freedom, probably because the country is so big and with a car it is so much easier to just pack up and travel in a moment's notice. I own a car a large SUV and 3 pickup trucks, don't ask me why but somehow I manage to drive them all Lol... growing up my parents would take our family in a big RV on cross country road trip vacations that would last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks and would usually go from Idaho back to Washington DC, New York, Pennsylvania etc... then to California. It was definitely memorable times!

  4549. I believe many differences in US pronunciations are probably regional as well, I noticed that the “American” version in many cases were not how I say them, but I know in certain areas they do because of those regional accents throughout the country, very interesting video! 😉
    2
  4550. I didn't know that I was obsessed with "jawlines"! :-). Actually, I've never heard of this topic before. Maybe its a female/generational thing? These people that may be obsessed with jawlines should be more interested in a person's character than something superficial like jawlines! And that personally is a difference I find between Germans and Americans (especially women). Germans are less interested in superficial things, in my opinion.

  4551. Merry Christmas
    2
  4552. Omg ... this is such a niche but relevant video. I'm studying in Bavaria right now and have asked two Germans if they've ever seen this movie, and they had never heard of it! I was so shocked. Now I'm about to visit Salzburg for the first time :)

  4553. The shelves are more practical for advertising your products but the tapestry gives the room flavor especially the bohemian design so I pick tapestries. It's just a preference :))

  4557. There were a number of flags in the restaurant where you ate. Correct me if I'm wrong, but those flag were from the 16 German states (Lander) or were they a mix of states and cities?

  4558. You gave me some good questions to ask my friend from Germany. I'm curious to hear her responses and how they compare to your answers. Great job, and as always....................... STAY GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4560. Living in Brazil during most of my time, I can say that there's a mix of alternatives here. Generally speaking, most bedrooms look like German bedrooms, with the exception of two single matresses for double beds, the question related to sleeping with open windows and lack of ceiling fans. In a hot country like Brazil, ceiling fans and/or air conditioning are a must, while sleeping with open windows is rare due to the fear of an invasion. Matresses are available for all bed sizes, but I've never seen people using two indivudual matresses in a double bed (which in Brazil is called couple bed). Heating and insulation aren't common in Brazilian houses. American style bedrooms do exist here but they are more common in posh houses. Closets, for example, are something mostly for the rich.

  4572. I have been trying to learn for a trip later in the year, at times I am finding it is much simpler than french to learn and hear (cos some words are so close to english) then at other times i am so thoroughly lost.

  4573. I had no idea that Haribo was German. They are by far my favorite brand of gummy bears.

  4574. Shit no twitter account and as an old SGE fan I would defently not set up one for a Wolfsburg shirt. So I'm sorry but I'm still a subscriber to your chanel and hope that someone with a misguided taste (aka VfL Fan) could catch his/hers dream shirt (that was close I manage to type the r in the last second) but any way very entertaining vlog (as ever) thanks for sharing.

  4575. Thanks!

  4576. Thank you, Feli! This totally helped me for an audition!

  4577. I won’t do business with Patreon but if you sell a mug or T shirt I would buy one. Or if you accept direct donations, I would send you something. I believe people deserved to be compensated for their services. I enjoyed your work and you should receive something for it.
    2
  4578. I love your videos. :) I have shoes by the front door that only wear in the house, and I change as soon as I get home. I sleep with a comforter and duvet since my first trip to Germany. And numbers I started writing differently years ago to make sure there is no mix up. My four looks like a computer 4. My seven I'll put a line through. My eight is like 8 (one circle on top of another). And I've started writing zeros with a line through them. And the date I write as 01 Mar 2020.

  4579. You are so enthusiastic and entertaining thank you for being you.

  4580. Young lady you need to start a cat channel your cat is so cool.

  4581. If you look at cartoons from before WW2 that mention Germany, the typical German was portrayed as this stiff, militaristic Prussian with a "Pickelhaube". So I guess the mentality towards Germany changed after the war, since Prussia was dismembered and Bavaria was really the last big region of Germany that didn't change politically after the war.
    2
  4582. I'm having to learn this for a school play, thank you so much

  4583. Awesome! Congrats from your neighbor in Ky! Nice to see people educating themselves in other cultures too!

  4584. Congratulations on 200k+ subscribers. I've been watching you since before you had 30,000 subscribers.

  4585. That was awesome. Well done. I bet you will start to see more and more Patreon supporters. Thanks for the video. It was fun getting to know you a little better. Cheers!

  4588. Your channel is the only one I get alerts for when you upload a new video. I'm glad you enjoy our country. It's nice to hear how a lot of the things we take advantage of, are the things you like most about us.
    2
  4589. That was a great video. I knew most of the pronunciations of the words as I have German friends and they correct me. But being in Canada we just pronounce them the North American way. I never knew NIVEA was German . So thank you for the enlightenment.
    2
  4590. Well you have "im such a lasy dog" Love your channel 😍
    2
  4591. You imitating a German accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    2
  4592. I live in Cincinnati as well. Lived here my whole life. At least we have a rich German heritage!
    2
  4593. This was absolutely fantastic Felicia. I was talking to a German citizen on Reddit today and I had to use the "I only understand Train Station" that I learned from you because she typed part of her response in German. I then plugged your channel.
    2
  4594. I found that this video was delightful. Thank Ben for his candor!
    2
  4595. Thank you for the video. I have to say New York is not America at all. The real America is in the interior. Anywhere east or west coast is generally trash. If there's public transit, you are in the wrong place. America is about freedom and open-roads. You need to drive 30 minutes to get to stores and not because of traffic. We have so many trees and ponds that you can never have in a city. I'm not trying to make this political, but visit Red Republican areas and they are vastly different from Blue Dem areas. Tourists seem to flock to population dense coast cities which are usually super expensive and over-crowded.
    2
  4596. Some of those are the same in French, eg. Sympathetic is not Sympathique, the latter is usually shortened by French people as Sympa and it means cute or likeable, but the one that really gets me every time is deception is not deception, same word, spelled the same but in french it means disappointment.
    2
  4597. Ich bin mit den Grimm'schen Märchen aufgewachsen (Bin in den 1980ern geboren). Natürlich kannte ich auch die Disney Filme, aber die existierten eher so nebenbei. Auch wenn die Märchen der Gebrüder Grimm grausamer sind, finde ich sie interessanter. Heutzutage hört man öfter, dass die neuen Elterngenerationen diese Geschichten zu grausam finden... Ich denke, es liegt immer auch daran, wie die Geschichten den Kindern vermittelt werden. Struwwelpeter zum Beispiel ist ja auch ganz schön harter Tobak, Albträume hatte ich deswegen aber nie (dafür aber von einer gezeichneten Kurzgeschichte, die mal in der Sesamstraße gezeigt wurde... irgendwas mit Ratten..., das war ziemlich fies.) Zum Froschkönig: Ich kenne die Geschichte als "Der Froschkönig oder der Eiserne Heinrich". Wenn der Prinz und die Prinzessin ins Königreich des Prinzen fahren, in Begleitung von Heinrich, dem Diener des Prinzen, hören sie nacheinander drei Mal einen lauten Knall. Dies sind die Ketten, die sich um Heinrichs Herz gelegt haben, aus Trauer um das Schicksal des Prinzen als er zum Frosch wurde und die nun, da sein Herz vor Freude anschwillt, gesprengt werden. Ich finde das Video ist super gelungen, mach gerne noch ein zweites davon!
    2
  4598. Thank you for bringing back the time of my childhood :-). Without TV-set in the household I heard these stories every evening and feared them. I remember another cruel scene I think it was a speaking horsehead (?): "O du Falada, da du hangest“ „O du Jungfer Königin, da du gangest". The issue with the cruelity was solved because there was always a good end. I think that's why we could sleep well after such a story. Anyway, we never told these stories to our children. We read from Astrid Lindgren or "Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer". Ich schreibe mal auf deutsch weiter: ich mochte nur ein Grimmsches Märchen und vielleicht kann mir jemand helfen es zu finden da ich mich nur bruchstückhaft erinnere: Der Held bekommt drei Aufgaben: eine, einem Soldaten das Pferd unter dem Hinter stehlen (ich glaub die schafft der Held), von der zweiten Aufagbe weiß ich nur dass der Pfarrer in einem Sack war, durch eine Pfütze gezogen wird und der Held dem Pfarrer erklärt "es ginge schon durch die Wolken", daher die Nässe. Die dritte Aufgabe kenne ich nicht mehr. Kann mir jemand aus diesen Fragmenten den Namen des Märchens nennen?

  4599. Just ran into your YouTube channel! I enjoy watching, great work!
    2
  4600. Thanks for the clarification! I was stationed over there in the 80's and 90's and loved it and have been back to visit relatives. I felt very safe going anywhere I chose to. BTW, and this is not to take away from German Girl, but some things are cultural and people in other parts of the country feel different about some things. Just like here in the states, not everyone trusts technology. They are forced into it. Great video and as others have said, I love your non-combatant style!

  4601. Ich wünschte ich könnte so fließend English sprechen wie ich es verstehe. Tolle Videos :)

  4606. What probably shocked me the most was how the frog was thrown against the wall=- I remember reading Grimms stories in English as a child and I always like the German version of Little Red Riding Hood

  4607. 44:09 It wasn't boring at all. Oh, Ben...don't forget the umlauts.
    2
  4608. More, more, more :D And I was just thinking and wanted to ask you so bad - in what language do you swear? Now I know :D

  4615. Danke for another video, Feli. Answering personal questions, especially online, can be very hard. I enjoyed the insight into your personal life! Hope you're feeling better.

  4618. I don't had idea that the Nivea is a Germany brand, hahaha. Great video!
    2
  4619. No, she is right, because this is how to pronounce the original name of it, not with the accent of Americans. You have no clue.
    2
  4620. Ich habe damals immer auf KiKa Jojo und Croc mit den Märchen geguckt😁. Damit bin ich so aufgewachsen.
    2
  4621. Danke for answering all these questions! Happy late birthday! Anyway, the comment about music made me think if you followed the Eurovision Song Contest? When Lena won in 2010 that song was in my head for days and it's still one of my favourite Eurovision tracks!

  4622. Shenandoah is beautiful. I camped out there for a week a long time ago and can still remember the beautiful sunsets.

  4629. SUGGESTION: Traditionally, when people have monetized their work (selling music CD's or doing stage performances or whatever) they have charged a particular mandatory amount for each performance. Patreon is totally voluntary for anyone who participates in it, so, if anything, I would think you could feel LESS "weird" about it than someone who charges for a music CD or a gig on a stage. Your content is good. People like it. DO PATREON.

  4630. Servus aus München! Bin neu hier ;)

  4631. That would be awesome if you would make a video on how to pronounce umlauts please 🤗😁

  4632. Last silvester Party in the "Berghain" 6 days lets go
    2
  4633. Well in considering that different countries have different rules to their pronounciation of the letters it just makes sense that way. Anyways it is good to know the pronounciation of the words
    2
  4634. I really appreciate your videos. I have never been to Germany, but I have met, befriended, and worked with many German's here in the USA and I liked them all. Except one grumpy old German engineer I worked with at one time who was kind of an AH. Otherwise, intelligent, funny, imaginative, and honorable folks. Good workers and good partiers!
    2
  4635. Strange coincidence. I recently started following your channel and one of the first things I did was to look up what servus meant. I never heard that before. So now I can confirm your explanation is correct 🤣 On another note, your name suits you very well!
    2
  4636. Great and very informative video

  4637. This is your funniest video yet! Loved it Miss Felicia!

  4641. What German brand names did I even pronounce right? Hahaha! I think I was only right with Haribo. 😂😂😂 Totally enjoyed this one! Will force my husband to watch this. LOL!! Sending love from PH 🇵🇭

  4642. Fantastic video! Very informative. Regarding traditional German Christmas songs, is "Silent Night" one of them? I believe Silent Night originated in Austria but I wonder if it quickly migrated to Germany.

  4643. ...ja, Maulwurf & Frosch(en)...Spracherziehung...ich lach mich heute noch schlapp darüber 😂🤣😂

  4646. A very nice counter advice on the video. A very good job. Thank you for the demonstration of courage and take on the video. Thank you for your videos.
    2
  4647. Thank you so much for this video! I always felt like americans don't know the true origin of their disney stories. I don't think I grew up with my parents reading the Grimm's fairy tales to me (at least not a lot) but I remember watching the show "Simsala Grimm" on SuperRTL when I was a kid and learned everything about the fairy tales there. We talked about Grimm's fairy tales in school a lot actually and even talked about the cruel parts. so even tho my parents probably thought it was too cruel for their children I learned about it later in school. But I didn't see the Disney films till my late teens, I think. I even watched Cinderella only a few years ago and was so confused about it. Watching the Disney films confused me a lot about my memories of these fairy tales ...
    2
  4648. I would love to see a part 2.
    2
  4649. Thanks, for making these very informative comparison videos!💯

  4650. Technically it's not hard, but all gas stations have video surveillance and your car can be found pretty easily with the number plate. It's just not worth it to try

  4654. Beer Mug. Can’t miss. I have an extensive beer pint/ mug collection here at home. I would be thrilled to add one of yours, or if you do a set , that too, to my collection. I also look forward to your German heritage in America video as about a third of my ancestory hails from the state of Mecklenburg Vorpommen, near the Baltic Sea. My sister has done research on this and has discovered that my last name originally had two n’s, but was “ anglicized” in the 1850’s when my ancestors came over here.
    2
  4655. He Guys I am from Germany and I have to say that's your german-basics are pretty good. Learning a new language is always heavy. German is definitely not the easiest language in Europe but you have a very good teacher! :) So don't give up and enjoy!
    2
  4656. Love your vlog. Differences I remember from my three years living in Germany in the 1970’s were: 1- fork stays in the left hand while eating not just switched when cutting meat 2- Drivers very courteous at merge points alternating turns and also they stay in the right lane except when passing. Generally much more attentive and better drivers. 3- They eat fairly rare cooked pork... I was always taught here that it was unsafe 4- It may be different in bigger cities but in the village I lived in people made eye contact and greeted one another when passing as strangers on the street. If we didn’t they thought we were unfriendly and we thought why are they staring at me? 5- windows covered with sheer translucent curtains instead of heavy opaque drapes( because of privacy of Rollladens... loved them for sleeping in!) Just a few that came to mind.
    2
  4657. LOLOL well I had serious culture shock when I came home from Germany on leave, I was at least six months behind on music and movies forget about it LOLOL anyway I actually was looking forward to going back LOLOL also I missed Hiedi my girl at the time, anyway I was sent to Central America soon after my German experience so I suppose that culture shock was truly a life altering experience but anyway I'm going on...loved the video...

  4658. Love your channel. As an American that hasn't traveled to Europe before, hearing your comparisons is really interesting.

  4662. I once traveled by train through Cologne at the beginning of Carnival in November. So many people were dressed up in unusual costumes. I had not idea what was going on. It forever shattered my perception that German people are always serious.

  4663. Thanks!

  4664. A hundred years ago or so, the word Gymnasium was used for American high schools with traditional academic studies which would include math, foreign language, and specifically Latin. I am not sure when the term fell out of use in English.

  4665.  @FelifromGermany  someone hasn't watched all your videos obviously. Never thought you were bashing anyone.

  4666. Very enjoyable, learned a lot!

  4667. You both have such an adorable smile. It made my day 😊

  4675. I'm a Canadian, 62 years old. I've never in my life seen a form that asked for my race. I'm a bit shocked too.
    2
  4676. Hi Feli, Great video! I was watching a video between Hoch Deutsch and Bavarian, Bavarian was so much different than Standard German. Do you speak Bavarian? A video on the differences would be interesting. The video was talking about people from Bavaria going to Berlin and not being understood when speaking native Bavarian, same from Austria. Anyway thanks for the videos I have been following your channel since the beginning and it's wonderful how it has grown! Tschuss

  4677. I didn't realize that Germany was just America back in the 80s
    2
  4678. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing this because I had no idea!!! Wow! Big like from Texas!
    2
  4679. Hast Du sehr gut erklärt. Daumen hoch !

  4680. Thank you for sharing German traditions with us. Have a Merry Christmas!

  4681. As a kid in Northern Kentucky, I grew up using the term "soft drink". I heard my cousin say, "Hey Grandma, can I have an orange Coke?" I thought that was strangest thing I ever heard. She was also raised in Northern Kentucky. As a young man, I started playing music with a guy from Cincinnati Ohio (just a few miles from where we lived) and he called everything" pop". After a while, I picked that up and to this day (I'm 63 years old) I call it pop. One last thing is when I was a kid, I thought a soda was bought in an ice cream shop as in ice cream soda. I never new it as just being a carbonated drink until I was older...
    2
  4682. Thanks, from my perspective you speak very good very basic good understandable English - thats good realy 🤗 no kidding 😀

  4683. I lived in a small village in Germany but even there no one talks about buying a house
    2
  4684. Your best video yet. I wish you’d make more like this one.
    2
  4685. Hi Felicia, ich gratuliere Dir ganz ❤️lich! Ich folge Dir erst seit kurzem und finde Dich und Deine Videos sehr informativ und unterhaltsam zugleich. Keep it up!! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
    2
  4686. Thanks!

  4687. As an italian I can say that the italian portion is really bad.

  4688. Thank you for joining us! I would love to go to Germany someday. Be safe!
    2
  4689. Thanks!

  4690. Honestly, I prefer to have Gelato, but I haven't found it at a cheap price where I live... :/
    2
  4691. Feli, I have been to neutshwanstien and austria! Thank you for the video!
    2
  4692. Haha I'm definitely guilty of thinking you and Josh were a thing oops (even saw my comment there in the video 🤣). Welcome to the channel Ben and kudos to you Feli!!
    2
  4693. Thank you Felicia, good video
    2
  4694. I really enjoyed this video. Your comments are very insightful and you’re fun to listen to. Thanks for making this video.
    2
  4695. Thank you for the kind words. As you mentioned my favorite is the diversity from shore to shore. My least favorite is all the unhealthy food that is offered. I don't even go down the cereal isle anymore. Haha
    2
  4696. I always heard a sunshower as The Devil was drunk. Maybe my grandparents changed it for me. :):hourglass-purple-sand-orange:
    2
  4697. Good video! Cheers!
    2
  4698. I too used to use the trick of trying to use the English word pronounce in the German fashion when I did not know the German word. As often as not, it worked! I do believe though, that German has borrowed many more modern English word verbatim .
    2
  4699. Glückwunsch zu den hunderttausend Abonnenten Feli!
    2
  4700. This is fascinating. Awesome video!
    2
  4701. I love this video . Thanks Feli this is very informative.
    2
  4702. What a trooper! You have such a great positive outlook. I love it. You will heal quickly and be right back in the groove. I like your German ingenuity in coming up with clever ways to do things with one hand. Perhaps you can use the time to brainstorm about future topics and ideas for your channel and record it instead of writing a list. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
    2
  4703. Great video, glad to get to know you better. I'm American and I start counting with my thumb also.
    2
  4704. When I was younger my grandma read me the original stories but I always preferred watching Simsala Grimm, which is pretty close to the originals but leaves out the very cruel and disturbing parts. Also Yoyo and Doc Croc are super cute.... :3
    2
  4705. In Sweden Dinner for one is called Grevinnan och betjänten (Countess and the servant)
    2
  4706. This is so fascinating. I was thinking that Munich has better subways because the infrastructure was rebuilt after the second world war, that New York and other cities have older infrastructures. This is the case probably with passenger rail service generally. The US gov developed a huge interstate highway system (based on the Autobahn) after the war, but other developments on that scale have been rare. To paraphrase one of the commenters below, Americans love their cars. I personally hate mine, but that's another story altogether. Anyway, I like the videos. Nice going.
    2
  4707.  @FelifromGermany  I suspected as much! Excellent job, Ben. The two of you make an awesome team!
    2
  4708. Great video!! Well worded from beginning to end, subbed. <3
    2
  4709. Okay so we definitely need more of that. Bitte Dankeschön :D
    2
  4710. Thanks!
    2
  4711. In high school German class, I got so confused by Gymnasium.
    2
  4712. Hope you heal fast and rehab even faster. We'll all be waiting right here for your 100% return.
    2
  4713. Thanks

  4714. “Drie Glaser”. Comments about race were very insightful. We are fairly schizophrenic as a Nation about the subject. I really enjoy your videos and perspectives! Keep up the solid work!
    2
  4715. As a native speaker I 100% admit that I say “wednesday” like “wed-nes-day” in my head when spelling it 🤣
    2
  4716. Danke!
    2
  4717. Cat merch! Things for cats or with your cat! I need all the cat stuff! Maybe fun pens with things you say to your cats in German? So cute!
    2
  4718. Your videos are very good, thanks for making them. Have you ever thought about getting a job in Hollywood? Either in-front of the camera, doing voice work or behind the camera? I think you would be very good.
    2
  4719. Thanks for this video - so helpful!! :)
    2
  4720. Really good job! Thank you!
    2
  4721. This was a very good one! The one with Sarah Chalke was definitely my favorite one of the bunch, lol! That one made me laugh! I remember hearing or reading about Kirsten Dunst having German ancestry, so that one did not surprise me. However, I had no idea that Sandra Bullock could speak really good German. I learn something new every day!
    2
  4722. Congratulations🥳🥳you should throw a party, when lockdown is over!

  4723. Du hast die Krankenhäuser vergessen- in deutschen kann ein Bier zum KH Essen dazu bestellt werden, was in USA absolut nicht geht (...zumindest in den 90ern wars so) da gabs selbst im Getränkeautomaten Bier, kannste alles hier vergessen :) ....LG von einer Fränkischen Krankenschwester in San Diego
    2
  4724. I love the Christmas story, thanks for the video Feli! ❤
    2
  4725. Hallo Fell, This is an excellent and evenhanded presentation!❤ While some laws governing freedom of speech seem highly subjective, they would seem almost impossible to enforce.
    2
  4726. you have come up with a great idea, certainly original! keep up your channel😀
    2
  4727. Thanks!
    2
  4728. I think my pig whistles. Ich möchte mehr davon. :)
    2
  4729. I have been to Germany 3 times and one thing I really enjoyed the most was the roundabouts at intersections mostly in rural towns. They make so much sense. Wish we had more of them here. Excellent video. Thanks. Tchuss.
    2
  4730. Very glad you are happy here in the USA. I hope to visit Germany 🙂
    2
  4731. funny that you can actually use the donkey sound in Bavaria to say "ich auch" (me too) - "I ah"
    2
  4732. Very helpful! Thank you!
    2
  4733. deine Videos sind echt sehr gut und auch sehr interessant- mach weiter so :)
    2
  4734. Love the video! So much I want to comment on, but if I did I think it would a little too much.
    2
  4735. I knew them all except the fact that Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi. I love Trader Joe's!! Thank you

  4736. Great work …….amazing content….
    2
  4737. Thanks!
    2
  4738. Thank you for this video. I'm an American that was stationed in West Germany (aging myself) and I very much miss your country. I'm hoping to expose my wife to German culture and food. She's Irish/American. 95% Irish. I've got a struggle in front of me. She's a redhead also. Hopefully I'll live to respond again.
    2
  4739. Good information. Definitely do part two. In general, I think Americans are more shallow than Germans initially. Americans are overly preoccupied with being nice. Germans are outwardly colder, but are more real and kind. Naturally only my opinion.
    2
  4740. You both are soooo good at switching back and forth (German to English and the other way around), whenever I try to do that my brain literally short-circuits and I suddenly forget both languages. And mind you, I’m fluent in German and a English lol
    2
  4741. The hardest part of German is the 16 forms of THE....
    2
  4742. BTW, I just used your sponsor link to subscribe to Ground News.

  4743. Fun fact: Feb 14 is also YouTube’s birthday! ❤

  4744. Die in hell is my favorite of all the ones you listed LOL ROTFLMAO!!!! OMG!
    2
  4745. Thanks!
    2
  4746. I’m happy you’re alright. Take the time to get better. We all love you and your content!
    2
  4747. Congratulations! Job well done! You put a lot of quality effort into your videos. You deserve the accolades.
    2
  4748. As always, your presentation is very enlightening!! It seems like your a Bearcat for life!
    2
  4749. Excellent report, Feli from Germany. Keep up the good work.
    2
  4750. What the schnitzel?? Ich kanb nicht glauben was ich da sehe :D
    2
  4751. For the audience: "Squirrel" is funny, because in Bavaria (or maybe more in Austria) the probably most famous fun test word for people who come to Bavaria (in southern Germany) or Austria (Salzburg and the nearby Upper Austria) is "Oachkatzlschwoaf", which just means squirrel tail. Funny that both the English word and a German dialect word of the same animal are considered difficult ;-)
    2
  4752. Danke für deine Aufklärungsarbeit auf der anderen Seite des Teiches 😀
    2
  4753. Glückwunsch!! We are so excited for you and all of your accomplishments! We are super excited to see where you go next 😊
    2
  4754. When you made the point between British English vs American English on using are vs is it reminded me of another difference. In American English if someone asked where you were you would say, "In the hospital." In British English you would say, "In hospital. And just for fun. "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence only in American English.
    2
  4755. I like you Felicia, you have a real "can do" attitude, which makes you a great American! When I was younger, my mom use to say to us (her 3 boys) "mind your own beeswax" when we were inquiring about someones peculiar behavior.
    2
  4756. Surprised to see that in Romania we pronounce correctly ... all of these
    2
  4757. Hell of a information bout every single brand you are incredible Felicia. We love Germany
    2
  4758. Hope you feel better soon!
    2
  4759. What about an entire day of speaking only German with you Feli? If he slips into English he has to start again the next day?
    2
  4760. This was so interesting.
    2
  4761. Do you just sit on the floor? Maybe I missed it but what is your kitty's name?
    2
  4762. Yes ,your English is flawless is your presentation.You appear to be a nice energetic young lady.Good Luck in your future.
    2
  4763. Prost Feli von einem deutschen Auswanderer , nun in NC. Macht Spass deine Clips anzuschauen. Viele Grüße Peter
    2
  4764. Great video! I have a German last name and people rarely pronounce it correctly.
    2
  4765. Merry Christmas to youand your family...and thank you for your amazing Advent Calendar ...
    2
  4766. Thanks!
    2
  4767. You are so eloquent and comprehensive in your discussions. Lived years ago in New Orleans where the highlight of carnival fell on Fat Tuesday. Many parades organized by Krewes. You would probably enjoy it immensely.🙂
    2
  4768. Anytime I’m in Europe I always buy Milka chocolate.
    2
  4769. OMG this American "tucked-in nightmare"
    2
  4770. Americans really don't understand other cultures. We do. We had you runnin on all TV stations. The "you won't find this on a map" running gag with americans is actually a real problem. Vance couldn't get so much people on his side, if our cultures would be more present over there. imo. Danke Feli, sehr gut und fair erklärt.
    2
  4771. Super Video! Mich würde interessieren, ob bald wieder ein Vlog kommt und wie man so in Ohio lebt und wie dein Alltag aussieht. LG
    2
  4772. Thanks!
    2
  4773. I'm German, and, yes, the originals of course. As you said at the beginning, these fairy tales are part of our culture. I once saw a book called "Grimms Märchen für Kinder" or the like. I had a look into it and could tell by the length of the stories that they must have been heavily shortened. I never saw one of the Disney movies. What for? I knew the stories.
    2
  4774. Congrats! Hope you make yourself at home and have time to see everything you want. Maybe even open people's eyes on different ways of doing things. 👍 Red white and blue suits you, tho I'm sure Germany will always be #1 lol. Prost! <<< I had to look that up...I tried
    2
  4775. This was one of best yet! A classic :)
    2
  4776. Proud Colorado parent here. I had the honor of officiating my sons wedding. It was small and very intimate! This was both nerve-wracking and a blessing!
    2
  4777. Thanks! Huge amount of work, very clear and informative, insight from the German perspective that I never heard before. American right wing seems to be flirting with fascism, the population is swallowing it far too easily. American education system needs to teach similar lessons.
    2
  4778. 6:04 You live in Cincinnati, which is a cold northern city. I live in Garland, Texas where the temperatures are much warmer. It is 52 ℉ at 8:55 am. People here wear sweat shirts, sweaters, and long pants until it warms up about mid April, when we dress the way you are describing with flip flops, and shorts, the way you are describing. During the summer it is usually 98 ℉ to 102 ℉. We dress for hot weather. I would definitely like to see a part 3. 👍
    2
  4779. Felichen!! Deine "Mini-Series" videos sind sehr lustig und eine sehr gute Idee!

  4780. Might have to get a passport 😜

  4781. Na, ick will ma´ sagen, det die Küche ohne ´ne richtije Currywurscht nich komplett is, wa? Seit je her gilt Berlin och als die Geburtsstätte der Rollmöpse. Zugegeben, die Heringe kamen schon damals vonne Küste. Mit die Bahn, jepökelt und einjelegt in Fässern ... der olle Fritz wollte ja, dass wir alle mehr Salz fressen und ihm damit sein Steueresäckel füllen. Aber den Namen, den ha´m wir dem Schlonz gegeben. Haste ja och in jeder Eckkneipe jekriegt, genauso wie Salzgurken. Die Tartoffel - oder "Pommes de terre", wie die feinen Pinkel zu sagen pflegten - hat uns der olle Fritz ja och uffgezwängt. Nur, wie willste den Plunder für´n Winter einlagern ohne dasset gleich wieder keimt? Einpökeln hat da nich funktioniert. Kannste nur in Streifen schneiden, in Öl einlegen und hoffen. Und denn kam eenes Nachts der rote Hahn in die Kammer - wat een Malheur sach ick Dir. All die Würsche, det Kraut und der Grünkohl, die Schweinshaxen ... allet über´n Jordan und zu nüscht mehr zu jebrauchen. Nur die Tartoffelstreifen, die war´n plötzlich knusprig lecker. Und deswejen heißen sie - ohne Witz - Pommes Fritz. Ach, und den Döner Kebap ham´se denn ja och hier in Berlin erfunden.

  4782. Great video Felicia. I was stationed in Germany for a couple years so I actually like the writing style of Germans. I would love to see more videos like this.
    2
  4783. The state?
    2
  4784. I just subscribed too. I been watching for a while. What I like about your channel is that your upbeat and positive. We need more content like yours today. Any topic is fine, doesn't have to be about Germany or US just stay upbeat. Thanks for content.
    2
  4785. Declawing is absolutely barbaric!! If your afraid of cat scratches on either yourself or your furniture you shouldn't have a cat!!

  4786. Thanks!

  4787. In Michigan we have returned bottles and cans for 10 cents since 1976. I don't know why most states have not done this yet. All glass, plastic, cardboard, metal cans, etc go into a separate bin for recycle. Once again this is not the case everywhere, but it is the growing trend. Where i live it has been happening for 10 years.
    2
  4788. Yes please, more German 🍺🍺 pronunciation. 😁
    2
  4789. It would be pretty cool if you made a book about German american topics or something
    2
  4790. I always love it to see our old bedtime stories. And so funny my boyfriend just hear it from the kitchen when you say in your Video Ruckedigu Ruckedigu and just Starts to sings "Blut ist im Schuh" Strange that we all have this memory deep in your heads with Blut ist im Schuh. Also Krampus ist a great tradition with his funny mask's. Or Frau Perchta the original Frau Holle (This one ist really bad with trash in your body and take out your Organs first) Just Check Out also the videos from Flula and Conan O'Brien he explains also how we get teached to behave right as kid's. With the Struwwelpeter. So funny how Flula explain it at the American TV show from Conan O'Brien.
    2
  4791. Nice video
    2
  4792. I had situation with "spare" and "sperre", apparently "spare part" was confused with the "blocked part" sparre.
    2
  4793. i lived in berlin for 5yrs 1980 to 1985 its so wonderful to here you speak and how informitive your videos are thank you for doing them
    2
  4794. Awesome, loved this video! You are beautiful without makeup! And omg, hi Josh! I miss your talks with him. He is such a cool guy! Glad you all got to spend time with him. I enjoyed this kind of video. Wouldn't mind seeing more of these. Thanks for sharing, Feli. Stay safe!
    2
  4795. Echt krass wie gut Josh deutsch kann!! 🤩🤩
    2
  4796. The look on his face after the cheesy transition is great
    2
  4797. Ich bin mir sicher, dass eurer Podcast super sein wird. Ihr habt im Video gesagt, dass es auch menschen aus anderen Ländern erreichen kann und ihr habt total recht. Ich spreche Englisch und Deutsch. Das wäre mir sehr viel helfen! Cheers from Brazil, keep up the great job, you guys rock! ❤️🇧🇷🇩🇪🇺🇸
    2
  4798. Hey Feli, what a great idea! I'm from NY but have been living in Vienna for a quite a while - I wanted to offer to show you guys around Vienna until you mentioned the part about the professional guide. But if you're still interested, I'd love to meet up with you guys. Whenever any of my friends from home visit me here in Vienna, I usually take them to a "Heurigen", a traditional beer/wine tavern that offers traditional Austrian dishes or we go to the Kahlenberg hills overlooking the entire city which was the site of the (in)famous battle with the Turks that ended up saving European civilization. I'm sure you guys will have a great time in Vienna!
    2
  4799. High and raising crime??? Germany??? Hahaha🤦‍♂️ this video is already starting with fake news...
    2
  4800. Great video. Just subscribed!
    2
  4801. The word for “safe” and “certain” is the same in many languages.
    2
  4802. Very good video. Informative! Like the forward honest dating idea rather than the games here. Not going for dating but now I have a 'heads up' in the process if it becomes a issue. Yes continue with the comparisons because the more informed I am the better experience I'll have. Thank you.
    2
  4803. this was STUNNING! By far your BEST!
    2
  4804. One word used in both English and German that blew my mind was “rucksack.” It was just completely random and caught me off guard. Lol.
    2
  4805. This is such fantastic information and, unfortunately, not widely known by Americans. Thank you so much for sharing the nitty-gritty details of everything you had to go through in order to get over here. And welcome to you and every single person who endures this process.
    2
  4806. Felicia, great vid as always! Bring up part three! :-) I really miss ATM drive ins in Europe. I was always wishing there were some in Austria, where I live!
    2
  4807. Awesome video Feli , have you ever been to the uk. , if so where #ask a German
    2
  4808. Ich habe mir auch schon einige Videos zu diesem Thema angeschaut (Rezo, Kayla und Parabelritter), und ich muss sagen das dein Video die beste Zusammenfassung enthält (Ist ja auch fast 40 Minuten lang). Super Video, ich glaube viele nicht-Deutsche Zuschauer/innen finden es sehr nützlich. P.s. Ich hatte immer schon ein merkwürdiges Gefühl bei Rammstein. Ich stehe hundertprozentig hinter den Betroffenen.
    2
  4809. Your room looks great, you did such a good job, I love the map. Cheers
    2
  4810. From one Ohioan to another, You deserve it. I can honestly tell you that you make nights I work much better when you put out new videos. As far as merch absolutely would be interested. I don't know much about patreon.
    2
  4811. A fun fact for you, college football stadiums are the largest stadiums in the United States. In fact you have one that is just North of you in Columbus, Ohio that holds a 105,000 people and that would be the OSU Stadium where Ohio State Buckeyes play.
    2
  4812. I am a recent subscriber and am enjoying this channel, in part because I lived in Ludwigsburg for two and a half years, which stirs up some old memories. The topics are fun and interesting, and the content is given by such a charming host. You said you were curious about our sports interests, so here goes. ≡:o) ≡:o) ≡:o) I'm not a big sports fan, with the exception of the Olympics (because of the human drama as much as the activities). I am, however, a volunteer official for the Charlotte Roller Derby league (Charlotte, NC). I became involved with it by invitation from a friend, and I think my involvement has more to do with the great people than the sport itself. This doesn't mean I don't care for the game, I absolutely do, but I care for the team players more. You would think that a man working with a women's roller derby team would look out of place, but not so much. There are a number of us working as referees, as officials, or are just plain fans. The Women's Flat Track Roller Derby is international. Munich has a team, The Munich Rolling Rebels Their FB page: [ https://www.facebook.com/munichrollingrebels/?_rdc=1&_rdr ] Th Cincinnati team is the Cincinnati Roller Girls Their web page: [ https://cincinnatirollergirls.com/ ] Pay a visit to a bout sometime; you might enjoy it, or at least wonder what is going on down there.

  4813. I will make a complement, you have great charisma!

  4814. 3Uhr nachts.. Ich bin da. Hab ja Ferien
    2
  4815. 24:00 Siehste, ich hatte 2020 eine Knie-op in Deutschland und habe anschließend Paracetamol und Metamizol bekommen, Opioide standen gar nicht zur Debatte. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich das Metamizol dann auch nicht genommen, da ich generell die Anwendung von Schmerzmitteln für eine schlechte Idee halte, wenn sie nicht absolut notwendig sind.
    2
  4816. Hi, Feli -- as always, you explain things very well. In fact, I was about to say "sehr gut", because that's a German phrase that's stuck somewhere in the corners of my mind. I think that many Americans have a greater tendency to use German-based words or expressions the more they have German ancestry... and this tendency exists even if that ancestry is relatively minor or small. For example, for most of my life I understood my ancestry to be Irish (Irish Catholic, father's side) and Scots-Irish (mother's side -- different than either Scottish or Irish...hard to explain), and really nothing else. Then, a while back, my father mentioned that we probably have some German ancestry. (Many white Americans have ancestors from multiple European countries, owing to the very "mixed" nature of American society/history.) I hadn't known that before, but it seemed to explain something: when I was growing up, if someone in our family sneezed, we would ALWAYS say "Gesundheit", NEVER "bless you" or "God bless you". In fact, I always had the feeling, from childhood on, that saying "bless you" or "God bless you" would actually be embarassing, because it seemed too overtly, intrusively religious -- and I still feel that way to this day. And I freely use all the German words/phrases in your list, plus quite a few more, so maybe I have German "in my bones". I hope this gives you more insight into Americans' affinity for German/Germany. Cheers!
    2
  4817. Thank you. Very informative and thoughtful. I lived in Germany for a while and loved it.
    2
  4818. Hi Feli! Congratulations on your amazing work. I enjoy watching your content. You're an excellent comunicator.
    2
  4819. You're always very informative and making it fun. I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos, they help to inform and educate me on my German heritage. Thanks again!
    2
  4820. In 1975, our school hosted a group of German students. We picked them up in the school bus at the airport. I was so excited to meet Claudia, my German student who stayed with me, and told her I had a gift for her. She had a puzzled look on her face. Been there, done that. On a side note, our school group that hosted students then spent several weeks with their families in Germany. We were in Winterberg. It was beautiful !
    2
  4821. That was so cool, Felicia! I grew up with a set of Brothers Grimm (English translated) leather bound storybooks from the late 19th century. They were my German great-grandmother's, and then my grandfathers and passed down through the family. I wish I could look through them right now but unfortunately they're in NY and I'm in California. I forgot all about this! Thank you for this whimsical and hilarious distraction from the real world. x

  4824. Feli, you are an excellent presenter, thank you

  4825. Kneipen und Kirchen haben Sonntags auf, Frühschoppen ist eine super wichtige deutsche Tradition, wichtiger als Auto waschen! Damit macht man keine Späße ;) Pubs and churches are open on Sundays, Frühschoppen is a super important German tradition, more important than washing your car! You don't fool around with that ;)

  4826. Feli for President when? I know you have my vote regardless if your Red or Blue (which you sound more Red than Blue)

  4827. 1 Sympathisch seems to me is similar to our word sympatico meaning connected to another person
    2
  4828. I'm glad you had a great time and that you tested negative upon your return. It looks like Myrtle Beach may get the tropical storm headed up the coast. Hopefully it will be spared. I wanted to answer a question you asked in the video about the cars. You said, "Why America? Why?" My wife calls it peacock feathers. Young males strutting around using cars as feathers. You may need to do a video about the difference in German and American male teenagers around 18 years old. :) Be well. Greg in TN

  4829. Wow. Sein Deutsch ist unglaublich gut. Er hat ja wirlklich gar keinen Akzent, klingt fast besser als bei Muttersprachlern.... Beeindruckend :)
    2
  4830. Felicia, when I was there I thought it was not polite to mention this but I soon realized that the German people would readily talk about it openly, I found this out from the girl I was dating at the time, that's a whole different subject, anyway I was really impressed with the way it was handled though I often felt odd because I didn't know how to express myself in a way being young and dumb really LOLOL I've since grown to embrace my adopted German family and I absolutely love the food, anyway love the video...

  4837. Really excellent rebuttal. I've been to Germany a number of times, from the mid eighties before the wall fell, to the last time about ten years ago. I was always an amazing, totally safe, and wonderful place. Far cleaner than most places in the US, both urban and rural areas, with friendly people and beautiful sights. His so-called high crime is far lower than most all American cities as well. Nice work dispelling some of the misinformation.

  4846. I'm not sure the percentages these days, but it was really common for certain regions to not have a meal, but only a reception with passed hor d'oeuvres and maybe alcohol. You could even make 2 weddings in a day.

  4850. My 2nd language is Spanish, so my brain is hardwired to automatically put a Spanish accent on anything that isn't English. So when I was stationed in Heidelberg, they made everyone who was a new arrival had to take a basic course to learn some German phrases and a lot bit about the culture. So I spent the entire time I was there trying not to put a Tex-Mex Spanish accent on my German phrases 😂
    2
  4851. Really awesome video ! This kinda idea of talking with other people learning the language on the other way around as a native/ non native is really inspiring and cool to watch ! Keep it up!! 👍👍
    2
  4852. back in my university studies we just made up funny sentences IN german -that would make perfect sence... even on a grammatically high level. my personal favourite (till this day) remains: dass das 'das' das kann, einfach so auf sich selbst und mit sich selbst bezug nehmen. toll, dass das 'das' das kann. übersetzt: "damit dieses 'das' dies kann" [...] oder "um dies als 'das' zu können" [...]selbst unsere germanistik dozentin hat erst einmal einen schnaps gebraucht -mindestens. ps: ich studiere deutsch auf lehramt... :) und ich schreibe kommentare klein, ja ;) (except names and typo stylistics)

  4859. How about Ben saying some tonguetwisters? I've made up a few: Mit keiner Kleie und keinem Keim kann kein kleines Korn keimen. Der Zahnarzt zieht Zähne mit Zahnarztzange im Zahnarztzimmer. Mit Zange muss er Zunge ziehen nie und Zähne ziehen immer. Vier fünfmal vervierfacht macht mehr als fünf viermal verfünffacht.

  4865. I have watched many of your videos, but this one was by far my favorite. I am a WWII history buff, but I'm sad to say that I had never heard of the White Rose. Thank you for sharing this story with us. I intend to check out the Sophie Scholl movie you referenced. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunely to travel to Germany three times for work over the past 10 years. I am currently planning my 4th trip to Germany, (purely as a vacation this time), and am looking forward to being able to take my 16 year old daughter with me for the first time. By the time we go, in June, she will have just finished her second year of German class in school. She is very excited for her first trip abroad.

  4866. Before the "Einwegpfand" (one use deposit) we had a lot of beer cans. In the 90s it was very common to get a "six-pack" at the gas station. Very common was the "Eders Six pack" which kinda completly got wiped out of the market.

  4867. Thank you. I enjoy your relaxed informal style.

  4871. Fun fact: There are 14K McDonald's in the USA, but there are an estimated 20K castles in Germany.
    2
  4872. I'm enjoying the video. We are the opposite as we are American's living in Germany. My kids go to German school. Could you explain why German's love to make inside of buildings so hot in the winter? It's like American's do with cold buildings in the summer.

  4884. In Arizona there is a very popular gelato shop called Frost and the best flavor there by far is straciatella. It is a birthday tradition for many of my friends and family to get together there and the ice cream there is the best hands-down. To the rest of y'all Americans, you are really missing out - gelato is heavenly :) Sincerely, a Frost Gelato addict

  4888. For what it's worth, Felicia, we've had cats for over 25 years. The first one we had, we got declawed because we assumed it was a good thing to do and had no ill-effects. After that time, we've never had any of our cats declawed, and never will again.  As for inside-outside, we've come to let the cats, themselves decide. None have ever been outside only (what would be the point of that?). Some, however, have insisted on being inside and outside cats. The others who could adapt to it, we've kept inside only. Even though we've always lived in the suburbs or small towns, there has usually been enough traffic around to make us nervous about letting them out. Cats have a very difficult time judging the speed and direction of cars, so it's best to keep them inside--but only if they can tolerate it. Also, inside-only avoids some nasty diseases, fleas and other bad situations (our outside-inside cats were excellent hunters and always proud to bring us dead snakes, birds and even a wounded baby rabbit on occasion!) Believe me, it's best to avoid that if possible!

  4889. Yes please do a video on how the umlaut works. I still struggle on understanding it.

  4890. As a native English speaker who has taught adult literacy and English to non native speakers, I have learned just how many exceptions and odd spelling and pronunciations we have. Great video!

  4898. My grandparents would set their freezer temperature by how soft the ice cream was when they dipped it out of the carton. They liked theirs on the softer side too. I have never had gelato and don't even know where I could get it but I will certainly look for it. German's don't need to be surprised that we use a lot of dairy and peanuts. Those are huge industries here. They market their stuff like crazy. To the point of making sure their products are in the government food recommendations! All the basic flavors are the best. So, Americans and Germans and probably everyone agrees there. But in American, we are actively marketing anything that someone thinks will sell.

  4901. The part about the taxes was quite inaccurate as well. P. ex. You don‘t have to pay the highest tax rate with an income of 50.000 €. The highest tax rate will only be applied for every euro you earn on top of the 50.000 €.
    2
  4902. First of all: ich finde Deine Vergleiche mit dem deutschen und amerikanischen Gepflegenheiten immer sehr anschaulich, sachlich und vorurteilsfrei vorgetragen. Deine Beiträge sind immer interessant und sehr fundiert! Was jetzt so typisch deutsch und logisch klingt, soll eigentlich nur sagen, wie sehr ich Deine Frische mag, in der Du das alles verbreitest. Go on like this! America always was a strong partner to Germany, so show us the differences as long as there are some. Tschö mit"Ö"

  4903. surprised you didn't revert to German to swear lol loved it

    2
  4905. You should speak to some "old timer" about theses meanings , most were used it n say way you are in Germany, we are just using different words now , such as the word "nice" could also be used today as "sweet", "rad" "awesome" "cool" and the further you go back you will see we just update the word by generation. Just my opinion! Enjoyed the video!

  4911. Thank you for our commentary. I am of Pennsylvania-Dutch heritage, which you may know is essentially German. My maternal Grandmother spoke fluent Pennsylvania-Dutch and I'm sure you would have understood her. I am 66 years old, way too old for you, but I live in Fairfield, Ohio. Thank you for your commentary, I appreciate it. You are very smart and you observations are very enlightening. I am retired and would like to visit Germany some day. Please keep up your commentary!

  4926. Hi Felicia and Josh, it's funny that you mentioned dreaming in another language. Since the early 1990s I'm spending my vacations in the US (since 2008 in the home of my American "family" in Florida) and usually after a few weeks I start to dream in English. That happens each year (except 2020)and I think this is so funny.
    2
  4927. Thank you Feli for the informative video. (This was the topic I voted for in your survey.)

  4939. Wow, tolle App! Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn es die bald auch für Android gäbe.
    2
  4940. Feli, many thanks for publishing this video and doing such a great job of it. I am only just now seeing it, but every day in this country makes me more fearful that we will fall prey to repeating history. It was a timely and important story to share.
    2
  4941. George Orwell would agree with you that language shapes our perceptions.

  4942. i like this vid, i like german and been trying to learn it since i first heard rammstein in 1998. americans are flip flop in what they say about being honest. im always honest to everyone, i think its the better way to be.

  4960. Funny how I never knew blitz in football was short for bitzkrieg. I can’t believe I never thought of that before.
    2
  4961. Well I've been a sub before you even had 10k subs and I didn't just bump into you, I actually searched for you since I'm interested in both countries and yours was the first channel that youtube adviced. Having seen most of your delightful contents, I think youtube has a great algorithm at that point. Congratulations on 50k Felicia!
    2
  4962. Thank you Feli. Really enjoyed the video as a German-American and huge fan of Washington DC spending yearly vacations there to enjoy its vast history. I learned a lot and will find new parts to visit.
    2
  4963. Ziemlich beeindruckend. Bin Linguist und hab gerade mein Examen an der LMU München fertig gemacht. (Ergebnisse lassen noch auf sich warten). Mein Englisch ist einigermaßen akzentfrei (British and American), aber natürlich kommt der deutsche native speaker immer mal durch. Bei Josh merke ich nahezu keine "Einbrüche" in der performance. Lediglich die Klangfarbe ab und zu, das minimale stretching von einzelnen Konsonanten und Vokalen und ein paar s-Laute fielen mir auf. I'm flabbergasted to say the least ;) Way to go! Besonders fällt mir auf, dass er die Farbe des Hochdeutschen ziemlich gut trifft und es sehr effortless klingt.
    2
  4964. Great video! Would be perfect if somehow the best of both countries could be combined, yet keep the overall feel and cultures unique.

  4965. Vielen Dank. You do it nice and easy!

  4971. Thanks for discussing this. It’s such a brutal subject, that people need to remember.
    2
  4972. My in laws and my husband are from India. My parents in law have moved back to India and my brother in law always seems to teeter on the edge of going back. But what I noticed is that once you’ve lived somewhere else you may not be completely satisfied with either place. My in laws moved back because of their social circle and it was kind of hard for them to move back originally though they have mostly re-acclimated.
    2
  4973. this video needs more views and likes. Great video Feli! Would love to see more of content like this. Better than any history lesson at school^^

  4974. this video was so great so much great info. i do like me beer. i mostly drink craft beers from diffrent local breweries. i drink 7% beers. spaten beer i had before and i liked it.

  4977. Ich kenne alle Filme von Disney und dazu die Original Geschichten bei Die Schöne und das Biest war ich sogar damals im Kino als Kind in den 90er Jahren mit meiner Patentante. An Weihnachten ist 3 Nüsse für Aschenbrödel ein Pflichtprogramm genauso wie zu Silvester "Das letzte Einhorn" und "Dinner vor One" wobei letzteres sogar aus Deutschland stammt.

  4978. There is an episode of Star Trek where Dr. Crusher is the last person left on the Enterprise after every other person disappears. At one point she turns on the view screen to look outside and sees what looks like thick fog. She asks the computer, "What is this mist?" In the German dub of the episode, they left "mist" in her line. "What is this shit?"
    2
  4979. I learned something today. 😀👍
    2
  4980. I really enjoyed the video! For me as a German person it was really funny to listen to the "good old" fairytales thain I also grew up with ^^. For those of you, who are thinkin that Grimm's fairytales are bad, you have to know that there are also fairytales from Disney that are based on fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen and these fairytales are really really evil (for example "The little mermaid" or "Frozen").
    2
  4981. Looks like a CDU/SPD coalition to me. I do think Vance/Musk speaking out about how bad Germany was gave Merz the chance to push back and win back voters who might have not liked his working with the AfD last month. As an American, the fact that 84% of Germans voted today just shows that if the US had an Election Day on the weekend more people would vote. And that percentage really highlight that maybe Germany is more democratic as the US only had 57% of voters casting ballots in November 2024. It will be interesting to see how Trump/Vance work with Merz as they pretty much ignored him even though by American standards he would be considered a Republican.

  4982. Very nice video. Wow I didn’t know how different the bed setups were.

  4983. -there are "soft baked" cookiesavailable in Germany But I get your point. The two things we really missed when we were in the States were bread with a nice crust and soda water at that time it was really hard to find soda water - we found some (Gerolsteiner imported from Germany) in the cocktail aisles in the US but that might have changed by now. Also things tend to taste a lot sweeter in the us.. its uncommon - but with a bit of search we were able to find anything we wanted

  4984. Everytime that I see your videos, I learn something new about the German culture. I enjoy learning about the German language and the German culture from you. This is a great video! I have a request. On the series, Wednesday, there is an episode where Wednesday is speaking German on Thanksgiving. I ask how did the actress, Jenna Ortega did in speaking German. 🙂👍🌹🇺🇸🇵🇪🇧🇷🇩🇪🌎🌍🌏⚽🏆

  4988. Congratulations, you are a credit to the world. Your English is better than mine and I've lived here for 75 years. (If you ever hear an accent from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or New York you will understand why I say that.) This vlog is so detailed and complete that I would recommend it to anyone needing info about the DV lottery. There is really no safe place in the world right now with covid-19 but be safe and stay healthy. I hope you can see more of the USA when it is safe to do so.

  4990. Fun fact, sauna is *Finnish*, and one of only 2 words from Finnish used untranslated in other languages worldwide. Don't know what the other word is...hyvaa paivaa.

  4995. Hi you’re so lucky .... I’m doing it for 8 years and until now I had no luck ... I’m still doing it and hope that I will win it some day so that I can move from the cold Canada down south in the warm USA ... fingers crossed .... Herzlichen Glückwunsch

  4997. you dont even have to leave germany to hear different languages.. thick swabian and bavarian dialects are almost incomprehensible to other germans..

  4998. Ich fände das Video mit den Redewendungen und Ähnlichem auch sehr hilfreich, weil das am Ende genau die Aspekte sind, die zb ein C1 Level vom native speaker unterscheiden.

  4999. Hey Glückwunsch <3 Bald kommt schon der nächste Meilenstein. Schön zu sehen, dass es dir wieder besser geht. Bye.

  5000. Ich könnte euch beiden stundenlang zuhören. Es sind genau die Themen, die einem auch wirklich zuerst einfallen und diese Kombination "German Girl in the US" und American Guy in Germany", die beide sich seit ein paar Jahren durchschlagen, ist einfach perfekt. Wirkt total ehrlich und sympathisch. Die Chemie zwischen euch stimmt und ich glaube dieser Austausch ist einfach win-win-win für alle.

  5001. Very interesting and entertaining and very well done!

  5002. EX0stasis That word was actually borrowed from German with changed spelling. But those tables are actually called kicker in German.

  5006. I grew up with the original Brothers Grimm stories, in California. My son, now lives in Berlin. His apartment is few blocks from where the Grimms are buried. I visited the graves several times, on my visit to Berlin. Very cool old cemetery. Wish I could show you my photos.

  5011. TheHC97: You’re partly correct with the term “Mittelschule”. I also raised with “Mittelschule” as “Realschule”, but in Bavaria the “Hauptschule” is called “Mittelschule” for a few years now.

  5012.  @SticcyBRA  Wir hatten mal viele Bars/Kneipen aber die meisten davon mussten schließlich. Mein Onkel war Besitzer einer Kneipe und musste die verkaufen weil es sich nicht mehr hat. Zumindest ist es bei uns im Ruhrgebiet bzw Dortmund so was eigentlich ziemlich schade ist.

  5014. I would be super interested in a video about intercultural relationships. I've been dating an American for a few weeks now (I'm German/Bavarian as well 😀) and some things really are different...
    2
  5015. I am a 1st generation American. My family is Germanic from the area that is now Croatia. Both my grandmas were excellent cooks and my step grandpa was also a great cook. They made many meatless dishes I think because they were frugal, but also prepared the greats like suerbraten, schnitzel and then more American stuff like prime rib and BBQ. Well fast forward and now I eat only plants for health reasons. I plan on trying to make some of the German staples in healthier versions. I should also mention both my grandmas were EXCELLENT bakers and that is what I really miss. Especially on my birthday. I always asked for, and got a Zitronenkuchen...I can almost taste it now.
    2
  5016. Many of the observations you make as being typically german are actually quiet typical for western europe. I'm from Belgium and you would find that we have very similar cultures
    2
  5017. Wow did you explain that well
    2
  5018. This was fun and phunny. I had to watch it twice!
    2
  5019. Totally well-deserved and we're all happy for you!

  5020. Thank you for taking the time to share your fun and refreshing experience ! Yes, more vlogs would be greatly appreciated !

  5022. So glad I found you.. I just recently met a German who lives here.. and we text fine.. and understand eachother but when we talk it’s difficult.. this accent is kind of hard to decipher.. haha.. this video will help.. thanks.. much love everyone ❤️

  5023. Danke!

  5024. Part 3 yess! I really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work and be happy!

  5025. This is a great video! I relocated to Cincy 7 years ago and my family wasn't too thrilled. However, your videos have shown how unique and wonderful the city can be. One UC grad and another on the way!!

  5026. I find that the kitchen faucet is a single lever and the bathrooms have hot and cold faucets. Most showers also have a single lever. Very interesting, especially about the insulation and thickness of doors. As always...

  5027. OMG This sounds amazing!
    2
  5028. you're so pretty :) it's not why i watch the video tho, i watch it because it's informative.

  5029. Good job Ben

  5030. The vinegar thing is a big deal. My Oma would bring her vinegar back when she would travel home to Germany to make her potato salad and cucumber salad. The flavor is different from any vinegars you can just buy off the shelf in the US. It made the dish in my opinion
    2
  5031. Cooles video, danke! Würde sehr gern Neuschwanstein besuchen aber....nicht im diesen Zeiten :( Zum Glück bin ich schon im München gewesen so ein kleines Punkt für mich :) Du bist aber Super! :D
    2
  5032. I have a book called Of Sugar and Snow: The History of Ice Cream Making that is a pretty interesting read about ice cream in general and more specifically it’s development in the US. Not sure how easy it might be to find a copy as I got mine from a library sale.
    2
  5033. What a fun tradition!
    2
  5034. Not for nothing but you are a highly educated woman with much to contribute to any country, what country would not welcome you? You speak EN like a native speaker, and even as we have no official language; EN is our language (that is changing to EN & ES). I am happy things worked out and welcome you and look forward to your citizenship as "one of us". Thank you for your entertaining and informative videos about a country that has some mystery and controversy in the U.S.A. As a (non religious) Jew I am delighted to see modern Germany progress as a world leading country and without doubt the strongest force in our closest continental ally, Europe. I am old, I crossed at the infamous "checkpoint Charlie [before your time]" and saw the then Eastern Germany. The Russian female officer looked through my backpack like she had lost a contact lens. The reputation for precision and quality that has always been German lives today. "German made" is a comment meaning super premium and deserving of a higher price. Tesla is building Giga Factory 4 in Germany so I expect the relationship between North American and Europe to be further fueled by Germans, Oh and yes, my dad (Harold J Cooper, DVM 1932-1997) was veterinary drug researcher for Bayer A.G. Again, welcome!

  5035. Like deserved with the intro already :)

  5036. Great video I wondered what your thoughts were on American sports especially the NFL. Since you are in Cincinnati there is a team there the Bengals, which were the worst team in the NFL last season (sorry Bengal's fans). Yes it is a big party I like to tail gate you meet all kinds of people you meet fans from the opposing team that have traveled there. Since I live in the northwest my team is the Seattle Seahawks (NFL) and since we are close the the Canadian border allot Canadians come down for games. Back in October I went on what we call going on the road to a game. That is when your team is not playing at home you go to the city where they are playing. In this case I went to Cleveland Ohio to watch the Brown's and the Seahawks play I made a holiday out of it. I hope that gives you an idea of sports culture and what some of us. Yes we can get a bit crazy a fanatical about it. We have an MLS team here as well the Seattle Sounders FC, and they have hosted some of the premier European teams here in the past. No hooligans allowed here act like that here and it will be a quick trip to jail. They also won the MLS cup last season they beat out Toronto FC. The Sounders play in the same stadium (Century Link Field) as the Seahawks now they do not draw the same crowd the Seahawks do in a stadium that holds 69,000 the Sounders crowds are getting bigger and during the MLS cup the stadium was sold out. One thing NFL games can be expensive to go to as an MLS game is fraction of the cost. In the NFL depending on how popular the team is, is a factor in how much a ticket will cost and it can get fairly pricey.

  5038. Thanks for you new video. Don't worry, Josh. I used to teach German in the UK and in the US. "Als" and "wie" ... I am currently teaching Englisch in Germany. Whenever "as" vs. "like" OR "als" vs. "wie" comes up students are struggeling. I dunno why but these words seem to be particularly challenging.
    2
  5039. Thanks!

  5040. I'm German (Bavaria!) and I hate the US bed with a blanket and sheet. Have to work on getting it out from under the mattress when I get in, it always gets tangled and in a hotel I'm left wondering when they washed that blanke the last time. I want my Bettdecke, that's mine alone, so I can weave it between my legs or toss it off or wrap myself into it w/o stealing my wife's part, LOL. The two mattresses on the other hand never made sense to me, hated them as a kid when I sometimes slept between my parents and haven't learned to love them since. I do like the built in closet though, Kleiderschrank steht immer etwas im Weg rum.
    2
  5041. Keep the videos coming. Your positive energy is so refreshing!!!
    2
  5042. As an American, all of these are really nuanced and true at the same time! My favorite was the handwriting, it's so true
    2
  5043. I love your Patreon video clips especially since I don't have instagram, tik tok or any other social media!
    2
  5044.  @FelifromGermany  Sadly, it's the same types of disussion under each video regarding energy and Germany right now. The issue is complicated, but most people just repeat the same few bullet points they have picked up somewhere. Apparently, if only we had a few more AKWs, everything would be fine - und die Grünen erst!
    2
  5045. The Nurenberger Elisenlebkuchen are really the best you can get in Germany, in my view. I adore them for Christmas, so I would recommend all your viewers in the US to try it once...
    2
  5046. When I was in Germany in the army in 1977 I was struck by the historical ambience of Germany. I'm from Oklahoma, and a building over a hundred years old in Oklahoma is rare. What would you say is the age of some of the older buildings in a small town in, say, Bavaria or Hesse? It's refreshing to come across such an upbeat personality. I intend to subscribe to your channel.

  5047. It would make the people of Wisconsin happy if you tried some cheese that has been made exclusively with ingredients born and bred in Wisconsin. Wisconsin considers itself the home of American cheese excellence. When the lockdown ends, perhaps you could consider an automobile excursion to Wisconsin.
    2
  5048. I live about an hour away from where you guys stayed in Virginia. Skyline drive and the whole Shenandoah valley is so beautiful and I’m glad you guys decided to visit it!
    2
  5049. Very well done
    2
  5050. The "beleidigte Leberwurst" would be the equivalent to "don't be such a sour puss" here in the USA

  5051. I am pretty surprised you got twinkies down in Munich. I have never seen them here in Hamburg

  5052. Love the video

  5053. Ben, I’m trying to learn French. I had some basics in high school, but I’m finding real French sounds very different from what I learned in school. I tend to listen to an online YouTube French teacher, comme une francaise. Sometimes I listen while gardening, or hiking. It’s best if you immerse yourself for just a bit every day. I also watch French TV series or movies with English subtitles. Best experience… talk to Feli and her family! Viel Glück und alles Gute! Ihr beide paßt so gut zusammen! ❤️

  5054. Can recommend all these Destinations, especially Dresden and Seiffen 👍 travelers will be definetly amazed.

  5055. I have always preferred hard cookies. Even when I bake cookies at home, in Michigan, I bake them long enough to have a crunchy bottom. The soft store cookies just taste odd to me!
    2
  5056. Congratulations, Felicia! That is a wonderful accomplishment, and you certainly deserve the recognition. You have one of my favorite channels on YouTube, and I am so glad that you are recovering well from your injury and surgery.
    2
  5057. I wish we were better at protecting renters here in the US. I’m glad I’m an owner.

  5058. pleasant and knowledgeable - like always. Excellent video quality too. THANKS

  5059. You know that you love her when you can do the intro with her. Greetings from Germany 🥰
    2
  5060. Great video! The YouTuber who made this video generally does tongue in cheek videos so I think most of what he was talking about was meant more in a humorous way rather then rock solid facts so I really hope you weren’t upset by it or anything. Saying that though it’s rather cringy to hear people act like the Nazi Party is still a force in Germany or that Nazi beliefs are still somewhat held by a majority of Germans, it’s not funny and honestly there are probably more Neo-Nazis in America then Germany.
    2
  5061. Too funny 😂 Talk about messed up stories!
    2
  5062.  @FelifromGermany  sorry about that hun I thought you was still going to college anyway I like your program have a super day.
    2
  5063. Great video buy a beautiful woman. I learned a lot of you about Germany. Please keep the vlogs coming.
    2
  5064. Almost to 100K! I remember finding you when you were at a few thousand. Congrats on all the success. Always great videos. Well deserved. Also, my very German family makes and prefers very crispy cookies while most friends prefer the softer variety. It must be our subconscious German roots!

  5065. 2 white claws please

  5066. Americans who are fluent German speakers tend to sound Dutch because the American 'r' sounds similar to the Dutch 'r'. An example would be the 'r' in 'mister' (American English) and 'meneer' (Dutch). However, some other native English speakers, particularly Aussies, British people and Kiwis, who are fluent German speakers sound more German, less Dutch. That is because their pronounciation of the 'r' at the end of words is similar to German. An example would be the '-er' in 'water' (South English, Aussie, Kiwi pronounciation) vs. 'Wasser' (German). If you want to know if a foreigner has decent German skills, you can assess that by hearing whether they're pronouncing German words in an exaggeratedly loud and harsh-sounding manner ('JAAAAWOHL!', 'WUNDERBAAAR!', 'SCHEIßE!') If you actually speak German you'll know that in German-speaking countries, only a selected few do sound lound and harsh – unless of course you're not serious, but just joking, then it's funny. So much respect for Mark, Sandra and everyone actually investing in knowing the language and culture. ♥️ – A native German speaker who lives in the Netherlands, worked in the UK and volunteered in the US

  5067. Awesome perspective! I think the conservation thing is always a challenge in the U.S. So many passions around what to do and how that sometime people just opt to do nothing. There's a phrase that has become popular over the past few years "Be the change you want to see!", so don't wait for others to change and certainly not for the government to change, just do it yourself. Hoping you will be able post more videos of your trip and Vero's reactions! I think also comparing cities to entire countries can be a challenge. In New York, you have a TON of different cultures and opinions meaning that sometimes progress on infrastructure is stymied by discussion. The German culture is notoriously efficient, practical and proud of its many great technological achievements. My Mercedes-Benz is a great testament to this, however many look at it and think me wealthy when I am just capable of finding a good deal and fixing anything that breaks! Thank you Feli! You should really make your way out West to see a different side of the country. Much more laid back and friendly and the food is just the best!
    2
  5068. "Wait. What? This is like cement." I have long had that sentiment as well. It's one reason I've been averse to eating ice cream. I just get so tired of bending spoons on it.
    2
  5069. Noch ein gutes Video von dir Felichen!! Auch ist es immer nett ein hübsches deutsches Mädchen zu sehen!! Meine Gute!! Ich habe bemerkt dass du fast 100,000 Subscribers hast!!! Jetzt bist du ein Youtube "Star"!! Wunderbar!! Tschüss Liebchen!!
    2
  5070. I would love to see a part 2.
    2
  5071. Yeah. It sounds interesting. If they come from Georgia, there'll be some differences with Germany for sure, especially with regard to sex education.
    2
  5072. When you start your intros with "Hello" in English + then followed with something in German, I didn't know what that word meant in English ( I certainly didn't know it was "hello" in German). I thought that you were using a word to refer to your viewers. Like that you we're using a term that meant some kind of term of endearment for a group of people. Like you were saying hello friends or hello folks. I have been watching your videos off + on for about a year or so & just discovered what it really means. I only really remember guten tag being used as a German greeting.   Not that it is a huge deal but in American English one of the religions that you mentioned is pronounced judy (like the name Judy or juDee) - iz um (at least were I am - suburban NY). Not that all native speakers necessarily all agree on everything. I know it must be crazy especially since there are different dialects. Keep up the good work!
    2
  5073. Great vlog Felicia! Been to Myrtle Beach multiple times and always a good time
    2
  5074. Can't wait for that Frankenmuth video. Are you gonna vlog the experience? Wir waren 2015 in Michigan, ham es aber leider nicht nach Frankenmuth geschafft. Next time😇
    2
  5075. There's nothing quite like an NFL game live. College ball is more of a party. Both are great!
    2
  5076. And when the Grimm's fairytales didn't impress you anymore the parents switched to Struwwelpeter (which is like a R-rated children's book).
    2
  5077. Felicia you are a star on the rise, not sure how I stumbled across your channel but, I'm glad I did. You create good content and keep up the great work 👍. And I'm so happy for your success.
    2
  5078. You guys are such a great couple. Enjoy!

  5079. Thanks!

  5080. Meine Eltern haben mir keine Märchen vorgelesen (dafür andere Bücher und Geschichten), aber im Kindergarten bin ich mit Märchen in Berührung gekommen und in der Volksschule dann auch mit teilweise echt grausigen Sagen.

  5081. Beste Filmempfehlung! Danke! Die Filme sind wirklich toll und man muss immer wieder darüber schmunzeln, welche Wörter sich im Pennsylvania Dutch erhalten haben!

  5082. I stationed in Germany from 1990-92, I don't remember any 24 hours stores. Love your channel!
    2
  5083. Hallo, so interesting! Yes, please more German dialects! Love your videos, Felicia
    2
  5084. Very informative ! A few of these companies I’ve never heard of. I never knew Knorr or T Mobile was a German company.

  5085. Thanks!

  5086. I am so BUMBED that I cant go!! We went for Oktoberfest in 2022 and used all my vacation time, so I have to build it back up for 2025. We are going back to München, Rothenberg, und Brugges Belgium. Would really love to meet you guys and all of our YouTube freinds.
    2
  5087. I would help support you! Especially if you're tryin to do it full time. I love getting all the German content, but you have such a great personality, I'd listen to whatever it is you had to say! :) My favorite videos tho are the unexpected things you notice that any native wouldn't think twice about. Hope all the best for you!!

  5088. ​ @markmower1746  Until 1848 there was no Germany and no national consciousness. The culture of the North Germans (seafaring nation) is different than that of the South Germans near the Alps or East Germans. A Frisian speaks a completely different language (no dialect or accent) than a Bavarian or Sorbe (Slavic people). The majority of northern Germans are Protestants, while those in the south are Catholics. But yeah, none of them look Asian or African, but that goes for all the other Europeans too.

  5089. I was happy that you found NALF! He is a real nice guy! He videoes cool! I hope to see more! Thank you!
    2
  5090. You two are amazing and very impressive! And please make that video about phrases/ Sprichwörter! That will be funny, I guess! Ich sag nur: "my lovely mister singing club" ;o) By the way, I remember my english teacher. She was obsessed with the correct pronunciation of the "th". And it helped me a lot!
    2
  5091. I miss the A paper system so much 😭 it was so nice as a student at a German uni. I was very thrown off by how many winky faces my German friends sent me at first though lol
    2
  5092. Thanks! It is too bad that the German language is known more for the shouts and screams of the World War battlefields and the harsh orders of the Divine Right authoritarian governments that dominated the German cultural landscape even before Hitler and the Nazis, then for the artistic utterances found especially in the German Leider where the poetry of Schiller and Heine was set to the music of a Schubert or a Schumann. Even in the German words set to the dramatic music of Beethoven. Schiller: (aus) Sehnsucht Ach, aus dieses Tales Gründen, Die der kalte Nebel drückt, Könnt ich doch den Ausgang finden, Ach wie fühlt ich mich beglückt! Dort erblickt ich schöne Hügel, Ewig jung und ewig grün! Hätt ich Schwingen, hätt ich Flügel, Nach den Hügeln zög ich hin. Heine Du bist wie eine Blume. So hold und schön und rein; Ich schau dich an, und Wehmut Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein. Mir ist, als ob ich die Hände Auf Haupt dir legen sollt', Betend, das Gott dich erhalte So rein und schön und hold. And Beethoven with his librettists Sonnleithner and Treitschke from Fidelio 1. Aufzug, 9. Auftritt Chor der Gefangenen.- O welche Lust, in freier Luft Den Atem leicht zu heben! Nur hier, nur hier ist Leben, Der Kerker eine Gruft. Erster Gefangener.- Wir wollen mit Vertrauen Auf Gottes Hilfe bauen! Die Hoffnung flüstert sanft mir zu: Wir werden frei, wir finden Ruh'. Alle Andern.- O Himmel! Rettung! Welch ein Glück! O Freiheit! kehrest du zurück? and of course Schiller's An die Freude Freude, schöner, Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken Himmlische, dein Heiligtum. Diene Zauber binden wieder, Was der Mode Schwert geteilt; Bettler werden Fürstenbrueder. Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. That this 'Ode to Joy' has become the International Anthem of the European Union shows that there is something good to be found in the German language and culture , that not even the worst actions of Hitler and the Nazis could ruin.

  5093. Loved the video Felicia! Been wanting to get to Munich and this was a wonderful introduction to the city and sites. Thank you. Looking forward to part 2. Be safe.. Cheers!

  5096. If you want to listen to spoken German, the Tagesschau (the main evening news program on ARD) is on YouTube each day. The good thing is that with video, there's context to help you figure out what's being said. https://www.youtube.com/user/tagesschau

  5097. Shared this. Such a great video, cool idea

  5098. the italian words are totally written or pronounced wrong hahaha

  5104. I've always counted by starting with my thumb first. , it's there so why not use it ? . My ancestry is 2 / 3rds German so maybe that's why , the rest is English and French. Your channel is great ! , keep up the good work and be safe.

  5107. There is a whole book on www.amazon.com about untranslatable insults in different languages. Did you know that a weird insult you hear in French is "You stupid shoulder blade!!"
    2
  5108. I do want to add a few things to this. As a person on long term pain management therapy I can tell you there are issues but there are also doctors out there that do the right thing. While I probably wasn’t put on pain therapy for the right reasons I have always stuck to my dosage and have cut back considerably over the years although I haven’t at this time gotten off entirely. I have a bunch of issues and we need to work on a couple others first. What I will tell you is there is a disparity in medication prescriptions between men and woman. Men are given these drugs much more liberally than woman. There is also a difference between addiction and dependence. I only say this because many people use addiction instead of dependence when that’s the proper term. Anytime someone takes an opioid long term they will be dependent on it. If they stop taking it they will have withdrawal symptoms. Addiction is when people get a feeling from taking it and need higher and higher doses to chase that high. They also usually have a dependence in that if they stop taking they will have withdrawal. They also get cravings for that drug. Another issue is that Purdue lied about the usage of OxyContin as well. They claimed it lasted 12 hours even though they knew it didn’t and this caused people to need more and more to cover their pain which greatly attributed to their addictive issues. I was told this by my pain management doctor. The one thing I want to say is yes we have a huge problem and doctors need to not be giving these scripts out like candy and believe me I have seen them doing that over the last 20 years, but there are people that still need pain meds and some of the doctors have developed this attitude where they don’t want to order it at all. My daughter went into the ER with a kidney stone and the doc refused to give her meds. This is one of the most painful things someone can go thru. So I am just saying they have to find a balance. Most people don’t need them but a few do and that needs to be something that is taught to the doctors. I don’t think a phobia is any better than just handing them out for everything like they have been.

  5109. Regarding how normal swearing is in Germany, one of my favorite memories was in the beer tent at the Vasen in Bad Canstatt (basically the same thing as Oktoberfest in a town outside of Stuttgart). I was SHOCKED when one of the classic songs was played, which is apparently an American song that I’ve NEVER heard of. I can’t remember the name but I’m sure anyone who’s been in a Oktoberfest celebration knows it” ...and for 24 years I’ve been living door to Alice.” Then the whole crowd shouts “Alles! Alles! Who the f*ck is Alles??” Keep in mind the people in the crowd are from all generations, so there were a lot of older folks in the 50s, 60s as well as the younger adults. In America you’d never expect this from your grandparents!

  5110. This is great and you two are very cute together / hope to see a lot more of that going forward !

  5111. Excellent Part 2! I enjoyed this even more than the Part 1. You two have good energy with your videos!
    2
  5112. Cool Video. I expected "Weltschmerz" on this list and the good old "Rucksack". Cincinnati is as far as I know very german.

  5114. I'm so very happy this video got unblocked so I could watch it! I agree with you that Christoph's choices weren't all that long (esp as German words go)...heck, I think [sic] Geshirrspuhlmachine is longer than the ones he mentioned.

  5115. Thanks! Great shows! Keep 'em coming.
    2
  5116. Yes!!! Please make a part 2!!! It is so fascinating to me hearing about German culture and the differences between Germany and America

  5117. Most overrated sight in Munich, believe me.

  5118. Also Bavarians live only on the south-east regions of Bavaria that's only 60% of the total population. The other regions are populated by Franconians and Schwabians with their own culture and dialects.

  5119. I'm brushing up on my Spanish lately and if I had someone to speak it with everyday it would be awesome. Best of luck you two!

  5120. When I was stationed in Hielbronn, Germany, there would be a couple German/American beer fests on post every year. The one American food the locals loved was American ice cream.

  5121. Hi Felicia! Still enjoying your channel! Usually I walk around in my socks unless I have several bags in my car, and have to make multiple trips. You should visit Texas. There is a large German community in the south-central part of the state (New Braunfels) Also plenty of your favorite, Mexican food! Have a great day!
    2
  5122. "Servus" it's a bavarian dialect and means hello

  5124. Quick grammar correction, someone would "give you a complement" not "make you a complement".

  5125. Bob Almendinger As a German: yes, the german Word for Germany is indeed Deutschland. So I would say I live in Deutschland. Regarding graveyards: yes you need to continue to pay for family plots on graveyards otherwise they will be “recycled”, but you are allowed to take personal things and I think even the headstone. Exemptions might be very few old graves from the 18 hundreds, I’m not sure if somebody still pays for those or if at one point they are just considered cultural heritage.

  5126. Great video as always! Good Job!

  5128. I just came back from Germany and the customer service issue is so true! “I’m sorry, I have a question.” *customerserviceladylooksatmelikeiaskedhertosellmeherfirstborn *Iaskmyquestion “No, thats not possible.” “Is there someone else we can ask?” “No.” 😡

  5130. There are over 1500 types of sausage in Germany: more than 500 types of raw sausage, over 800 simmered sausages and 365 types of cooked sausage, including 60 liver sausage and 50 types of blood sausage. Each region has its sausages: Coburger (32 cm), Franconian, Hessian, North German, Nuremberg (8 cm), Silesian, Thuringian and, and, and.

  5134. Another great video Feli. You and your assistant did a great job of modeling the appropriate attire for Oktoberfest. Can't wait for Oktoberfest to get here. Prost!
    2
  5135. Absolutely would like to see a part 3! I did see you counting thumb first in your part one video. It did not strike me as odd though... just reinforced that I'd seen it before.

  5137. My wife is a sex ed teacher at a church here in the US, believe it or not. The United Church of Christ (UCC) and Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) have co-sponsored a program called Our Whole Lives (OWL) that is very comprehensive and, in my opinion, far better than what we have in the public schools. It takes the approach that sex is a part of life just like eating or sleeping. The program has multiple levels, such as a basic "where do babies come from?" for young children, the more detailed biology of sex for pre-teens and the classes for teens actually focus more on relationships. One aspect of the program I like is that the instructors spend plenty of time going over the curriculum with parents so they know what little Johnny or Susie will be covering in class. Now, anyone who grew up in a traditional more conservative Christian church was probably taught that 1) sex is only for making babies and 2) you're not supposed to enjoy sexual pleasure, especially if you are a woman. Also, homosexuality is considered deviant behavior as is the use of birth control. If these are your beliefs then the OWL program probably isn't something you'd be interested in as it takes a more open minded approach. Many parents from traditional backgrounds, however, say they didn't like the narrow views they were brought up with and want something more comprehensive for their own children so to the OWL program they come. If you are a parent looking for a better way to teach your children about sex, I recommend you contact a UUA or UCC church near you.

  5139. Haribo always tastes different in other countries than in Germany; you adapt to the tastes of the countries. For example, gummy bears taste slightly soapy in France because the French like it that way. Lakrize is much stronger in France than in Germany because it is not allowed in Germany. Stronger liquorice is a medicine in Germany.
    2
  5140. Thanks for showing the Over the Rhine section. My grandmother was born there. The families were immigrants from Bavaria and Bohemia. Family names were Schoeniger, Weber, Kahle, and Burhen. Many cousins still live in the area! They had a wonderful confectionary and bakery in that neighborhood before the first war (WWI)

  5141. Ich habe mich schon oft gefragt, was das englische Wort für die Isolierung bei Häusern ist, da ich wusste, dass isolated eine andere Bedeutung hat, aber ich war nie motiviert genug, es auch wirklich mal nachzuschlagen. Also danke, dass ich das jetzt auch endlich weiß :)

  5143. Hi Felicia, from South Africa here and recent subscriber. Really enjoying your content. I didn't expect anything interesting to come from this topic, but you're clearly very adept in getting the most out of the simplest topics. So well done! Jawlines and chins in South Africa are quite a common attributes when people are speaking about faces and attributes when referring to the level of attractiveness. :)

  5144. Thanks for providing content during lock down. I am sure it is hard to keep your channel fresh during quarantine. I was actually in Munich when it started. My wife and I look forward to your incite and friendly face.

  5146. I know what it means in Latin, but I have never used it in my life. Not in Hamburg and not in Berlin for sure.
    2
  5147. Definitely make Part2. For the record, though, I tend to write the same way you do in terms of letters and numbers (aside from the 9), so it likely depends more on the region than heritage. I can also tell you that most people tend to write the 'American' way not because its easier to read/write, but because said style was mass-produced thanks to keyboards and typewriters.

  5148. I liked this video a lot! Keep doing german travel stuff <3

  5149. Thanks. Very enjoyable and I learned a few things.

  5156. Thanks!

  5157. Great video! Me and a friend of mine are planning on visiting Germany next year. It's been a good 6 years since I was last enrolled in Deutschklasse in college, so I've slowly started refreshing my vocab. But I love all your cultural videos! We learned some of this stuff, but it's always better and more interesting/informative to hear a native person's take on things, rather than reading it from a textbook or seeing a slideshow.
    2
  5158. The most stupid question I was asked in the US (by a lawyer in San Diego): "Do you have computers in Germany?"
    2
  5159. I’m so happy for you. With your entertaining and informative content, you’ve earned your award. Congratulations Felicia!
    2
  5160. You should definitely continue this series. Very interesting insight on the difference between the german and american mindset.
    2
  5161. that was nice, i like the idea of using the synergy between your two channels, next time for me it would be enough to just follow a nice conversation wherever it goes, i mean without the "script" you had, but i totally understand, why it helped this time :) when i think about it, i might be a bit disappointed you didn't talk at least a few sentences in german because that would be fair, but well, maybe next time, it was fun to watch though
    2
  5162. I absolutely LOVE this video! Please don't take offense to this, but I was laughing like crazy because I paused the video right at the spot where you made a funny expression. And it happened THREE TIMES! But beyond that, I love how you pick apart every detail. You should become a person who debunks things. I think you'd do really well. And also, the faces you made were just incidental. I don't ascribe any judgment because of that. I really like your channel and think you do a great job.

  5163. The stereotype about being straight forward is also being said about Dutch people.

  5178. Good morning glad to be the first actually spot this video. And I want to wish you all my and Ben a merry Christmas season.

  5179. As an aside, you have some of the best 'thumbnail' pictures on YouTube. I think "Slip Homeoffice Toast" should become the next big meme. :D

  5180. The vlogs are a nice change of pace
    2
  5181. OK genau 1 Min nachdem ich das Video weiterlaufen ließ, habt ihr genau das beantwortet. Lustig finde ich ich mag es nicht z.B eine Serie auf Englisch zu schauen dafür spreche ich es viel zu wenig, dadurch finde ich es zu anstrengend. Aber Untertitel mag ich auch nicht. Hier hatte ich kein Problem das ihr die Sprachen wechselt. OK die Untertitel waren an aber ich hätte sie nicht benötigt. Weiter so. Abo ist raus. LG :-)

  5182. Wow what a great idea! I would love to join you. Greetings from Austria 😍

  5184. 10. Well, he started off "strong" going straight for the fear-mongering and outright lying about refugees. 9. Has this guy ever been to Chicago? There's graffiti everywhere! And you know what? It really isn't that big of a deal. And chain-gangs? Really?! Um... Wow. That's extreme. 8. Um, water closet/WC is a British term, AFAIK. Considering the UK was part of the EU until very recently, it's really not surprising that certain British-isms would have spilled over into countries where most ppl learn at least a little English. BTW, I encountered restrooms that you had to pay to use when I was in Japan as well. Notably up on Fuji-san. 7. Is he joking? That's one of the best things about the German language! Backpfeifengesicht remains one of my favorite words to this day! Also, English has the habit of creating compound words as well - some of them can be pretty damn long too. Maybe it has to do with English and German both being Germanic languages? And sorry, Mark Twain - he was right about a hell of a lot of stuff, but English is definitely a more difficult language to learn than German - largely because we borrow words, occasionally changed how they were spelled/pronounced, and sometimes even completely change the meaning! 6. And like a typical American, he focuses entirely on how much they pay in taxes and completely ignores all the benefits they get from their taxes. All colleges and universities in Germany are free. Their healthcare isn't completely free at the point of service (like the NHS in the UK), but it's a teeny tiny fraction of the insane amount we pay in the US. And I'm sure there's a ton more in benefits that they get that I don't even know about. And this American wishes our system was more like Germany's. I know in Sweden, they actually do all your taxes for you and just send you a thing to sign acknowledging how much you owe/are getting back in a refund. There's absolutely no reason US taxes should be such a nightmare. Oh and we pay taxes on every bit as much as Germans do, we just have no idea because only an experienced IRS agent that focuses on making sure the ridiculously wealthy in our country are actually paying their taxes even knows what all those taxes are! And that's without even going into the completely nightmare that's corporate taxes and their insane number of exceptions and deductions! 5. Um, yes. It is way easier to track your spending in cash. That is a fact. 4. Is this guy from Florida or California? We get winters like that in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin all the time (worse in MN and WI, ofc, but we've definitely had more than our fair share of those kinds of winters in IA). Last year's winter, we had a ridiculously cold snap in February where we actually got down to -40 (it's the same in F and C) in Iowa. I remember Feb being especially bad all winter specifically because my partner couldn't leave the house due to the solid 2 inches of ice that stuck around for the entire month. I think we had 2 thaws, but it never got warm enough to do much more than turn the snow into more ice. BTW, if he thinks it's bad in IA, MN, and WI? He should try a ND winter! And don't forget that Alaska is part of the US as well! Also, if Briggs thinks that 32F is cold... Dude, WTF?! Have you ever been north of the Mason-Dixon? 3. Europe's climate is a lot more temperate than the US's (well, most of our regions anyway). They don't tend to get extremely hot days in Europe all that often. Or they didn't use to anyway. I live in Iowa. We generally expect to get about a couple weeks or so with temps in the upper 90s, and probably 3-4 days with temps in the 100s (F). In August, it usually cools down a bit to the mid-80s to low-90s, but the humidity often puts the heat index much higher. Even so, with the exception of extremely humid days, I would typically just have the windows open as long as it was below 90F. We didn't have AC when I was a kid - and that was only back in the 90s. My partner's a lot more sensitive to heat that I am (thanks to his meds), so we have to use the AC more these days. Ironically, he doesn't even notice humidity, unlike me. 2. Um, there's definitely a lot of places like that in the US. Downtown Chicago is essentially shut down on Sundays. This is also true in a lot of small towns throughout the US. 1. I'm gonna let Felicia address all the misinformation about Germany in that one. Wow. Yikes! But bringing it back the US for a moment. We've got nazis here too. Plus the KKK, white supremacist militias, and plenty of other right wing extremists, militias, and terrorists - way more than Germany has. Fascism and right wing extremism has been on the rise worldwide, but it's always enjoyed a special place of privilege and tolerance in the US. Waco was one such group. Timothy McVeigh belonged to a right-wing militia. The KKK is still very much around and very active. Dylan Roof wanted to start a literal "race war." I have voted in every single election since 2004 and there has been a candidate from an actual nazi party on the ballot here in Iowa every single time - they exist and they get enough signatures to be on the ballot. So before we go poo-pooing Germany for having right-wing extremists, nazis, and white supremacists, maybe we should take a moment and consider our own backyard first. So yeah, that was about as terrible as I expected it to be. I did like hearing Felicia explain things about Germany that I didn't know as she knocked this clown down a peg. This was just me ranting and pointing out how stupid this guy is from an American perspective. As for me, I only see one reason to not live in Germany and it didn't even make it on the list - no screens on windows. XD

  5186. Definitely a part drei would be great! And I have seen many people opt to count from their thumb, as well as starting with their pinkies, then going in either direction around their hands. One thing you will never see one do however, is begin counting with their middle fingers, unless being clever, flipping whoever they're with off subtly. haha. And I am 100% one of those people who are out in flip flops, shorts & a t-shirt in the 40s (Fahrenheit). And failing to spell Fahrenheit reminded me that it itself is German, which is rather humorous to me, seeing as no one uses it much except the US. Feels quite ironic.

  5189. I grew up with a German mom....but in San Francisco. Driving on the autobahn....so accurate. Lived there for 3 years and go back to visit my dad all the time. I find it super stressful, also smaller one lane roads sometimes. It always shocks me how reckless Germans drive on dangerous roads with regards to speed. We were in the Black Forest. I equate it to their impatience. All of what you said is so true...lol. The good and bad. Found you through creator on the rise. Congrats on that! 😁😂

  5190. Nice video👍🏻. I noticed the Spaten beer on the shelf when showed the beer section. Spaten is my favorite beer! It’s hard to find here in Tennessee, but I do manage to get some now and then 😉.

  5192. I'd have already joined the Maßkrug (1,0l) option on patreon if it wasn't for "Kurzarbeit" :( but count me in for around August ;) Have you considered a video on differences in terms of job market, like getting/applying for a job, workspace, leaving a job, etc.?

  5199. Felica, as a native English speaker, complements on your accent. I need to listen quite closely to hear it. You should do a video about Birthdays... Sockenkranzen, sweeping city hall steps, bringing cake to work/school etc

  5207. An especially good video, Feli. Thanks! While working in Singapore some years ago, I became fast friends with some Germans. I did broach the subject of the war and the Holocaust with them, though delicately. It would have been useful to have had your video under my belt a little earlier. One incident from my work life highlighted the differences in attitudes to the war between Germans and non-Germans. One day, someone in our group shared a clip of a scene from a German WWII movie — not a documentary but rather a scripted movie performance — in which Hitler becomes absolutely furious about the news he has received regarding battlefield failures. But the English subtitles were changed to make the subject matter not the war, but rather something regarding an aspect of our profession. We are/were scientists, and the subtitles had Hitler reacting to receiving a negative peer review for a scientific paper he was trying to publish. Well, we were laughing till we had tears in our eyes. But not all of us. Our German colleague could only shake his head with dismay and remark that we wouldn’t be laughing if we understood the German. I have since seen this same clip used to parody other situations. Here’s the clip I have in mind. You won’t find it funny unless you’ve gone through the agony and heartbreak of trying to publish your scientific research. https://youtu.be/-VRBWLpYCPY

  5210. Regarding the point about "feeling judged" I definitely lost that feeling after moving to Berlin, but I've heard that it's more of a Berlin than German thing
    2
  5211. Your accent is freaking me out. It is so perfectly a blend of German and Californian! I love it, but it's noticeable and it's messing with me - I think you could pass for either for most people!

  5214. The great mystery to me is why the average American woman is 5 ft 3 inches tall but all the American snobbish, trendy fashion shows show the clothes on women who are 5 ft 10 or 5 ft 11 inches tall. "Normal" clothing for American females only fits tall females. You have to look for the subset of clothing marked "petite" if you want something that fits the average American female body.
    2
  5215. As soon as you mentioned "pepperoni," I knew where it was going. I went to Stuttgart as a kid-- ten-year-old me was perplexed about why we ordered "pizza salami" (with a Spetzi, of course). ...I like the back-and-forth, flag-draped style, too. It makes things clear, and kind of fun. Keep it up, Felicia.
    2
  5216. You are so gorgeous Felica! I like the casual, layer back feel lately. It’s been refreshing to see new setting and not so formal settings...just enjoying life and letting us sit in for the ride...I hope u don’t change how you express urself cause of something a jealous hater said. Coulda been a Russian troll for all we know. Ur as fit as we all strive to be. 🔥😉👍

  5218. that's an incredible jersey, awesome giveaway! also, it would be great for you to check out a football game in a power 5 conference. Closest to you i guess would be Ohio State ranked #5 in most valuable football programs. If you could check out football games in the south, thats definitely where football is taken to another level. 15 of the top 25 most valuable college football programs are in what one would consider a Southern State. I went to University of Florida. We were ranked #9 on the Forbes most valuable college football program averaging $117Million per year over the last 3 years. Love your videos. Go Gators!

  5221. The V/W discussion reminds me of a scene in the comic opera "Zar und Zimmermann" by Albert Lortzing which shows the reverse of the German error in English. A British character speaks German with a heavy English accent, and when he delivers the line "Wann werden wir uns wiedersehen?" pronouncing the W's as in English, I once saw a staid German audience crack up.

  5227. Hallo Feli, es macht mir richtig viel Spaß deine Videos anzuschauen. Es ist unglaublich, aber durch dein Video, habe ich mich tatsächlich an meine Schultüte und meinen ersten Schultag erinnert. Auch wenn dieser über 40 Jahre her ist, erinnerlich mich an die „riesige“ hell rosa Tüte, mit dem kleinen grauen Kätzchen auf der Vorderseite. Meine Eltern hatten diese so vollgepackt, das ich fast nach vorne überfiel 😂 Da wir Deutschen ja bereits soviel von Amerika übernommen haben (Valentinstag und Halloween) wäre es doch witzig, wenn du eine SCHULTÜTE-BEWEGUNG startest 😅
    2
  5228. Hey. Ich mag deine Videos. Wie hast du die Clips ausgesucht, hast du dir einen bestimmten Anhaltspunkt ünerlegt oder einfach was du lustig fandest, ausgewählt.
    2
  5229. Wow, so gut möchte ich mal Englisch sprechen wie Josh Deutsch. Aber es ist ja nicht nur die Aussprache. Ich bin zwar noch ziemlich am Anfang des Videos, aber bis jetzt hat er sämtliche Endungen korrekt benutzt und auch die bekloppte deutsche Syntax in Nebensätzen. Ein falsches Genus habe ich auch noch nicht gehört. Eine akzentfreie Aussprache ist die eine Sache, aber eine hundertprozentig korrekte Grammatik ist mindestens genauso schwierig. Bis eben gerade hätte ich noch gesagt, das ist nicht möglich, eine Sprache so zu lernen, wenn man erst mit 14 anfängt und nicht dauerhaft in das Land gezogen ist.
    2
  5230. Wow those were all great questions, excellently answered. Thank you. I do enjoy getting to know you better. America definitely needs more people like you. I would of thought polish in your background. Back to the Future is a great movie. Pineapple should never be put on a pizza. Outstanding video 👌👏.

  5233. A couple of comments: 1) Thanks for the video. You did a great job of summing things up. 2) Although we use the term "Soccer", it is actually an older English slang term for Association Football (the type of football that is the most popular sport in the world). There are other types of football: Rugby rules football, Australian rules football, Canadian Football, American football... none of which are soccer (or Fußball, as you may know it). 3) I don't think you can stress enough how crazy out-of-control college sports are in the US. Like the Bundesliga and the Premier League, there are tiers of college sports teams (Div 1, 2, 3) with Division 1 being the top league. Many of the Division 1 student athletes in the "money making" sports (basketball, football) are barely students at all. Most would very likely be unable to gain acceptance to any of the universities they represent. In spite of not being the best students, they are outstanding athletes. I would estimate that any of the top 20 Division 1 university basketball teams could beat ANY national basketball team on any given day. I have always found it to be really weird for universities to play the role of the "minor leagues" for professional sports in the US.

  5237. Ben saying he's wearing a white T-shirt to Oktoberfest; ha! I know you all were pulling our leg about that, but that's about as depressing a thought as staying in a hotel room the whole time you're in Munich for Oktoberfest, playing solitaire on a computer, and only leaving the room to eat at McDonalds.

  5271. Whatever success you are having you completely deserve! You are correct that Patreon and merchandise is a bit tricky. We love you for your sincerity and you are ohne Fassade. You are obviously not doing this for money but it does cost you something to do these and you should absolutely want some financial support in that regard. Frankly, I could use another beer mug 😉 but yes most of us have enough die Utensilien!

  5272. Thanks! Great video. I was wondering about eating a bowl of soup or chili. I always crumble crackers up then scoop it up with a fork or if I have a sandwich I dunk it in the soup. Haha how would that go over in a European restaurant?

  5273. Eine Bäckereifachverkäuferin erzählte mal von einem Urlauber aus Frankreich, der "normale" Brötchen bestellte, und nach drei Tagen dann immer "ordinäre" Brötchen sagte.

  5274. I’m a 70 year old American, that had always wondered how a people could have become so corrupted by Nazi, ideology, until recent years. The present (01/24/2024) GOP ideals have made me much more sympathetic on how masses can be led astray.

  5284. I had sex education in the 6th grade in the state of Illinois and it was very similar to what you described in Germany. I moved to Texas right before I started high school an found out there is no mandatory sex education for students. The only sex education students in Texas got (at least where I went to school) is in health class which is an elective credit and not necessary for graduation.

  5285. Americans eat what we were given as children and because many of our parents and grandparents remember when saving pennies might a lot, we ate cheaper. I much prefer gelato to ice cream until I have to pay for it. It is interesting to me to realize home-made ice cream in the U.S. is more like gelato than store bought ice cream.

  5287. How about a video on the pronunciations of towns and states......
    1
  5288. That's the trick, you can insult someone as badly as you want in germany, it just have to factual. For example calling Höcke (one of the AfD bigshots) a facist is completely fine, since a court ruled, that he factually is. I can't call someone a fat pig. But I can state that they are obese in a friendly manner. That's completely fine and most of the time hurts even more. Thats why german satire is so savage, all it does is show things as they are. E.g. they don't insult Musk by saying he is an insecure over the top narcissist. They just factually show, that he has never invented a single thing himself, he just buys himself into companies and then showboats.

  5293. Really really interesting......the race thing.......seems to me another example of how many European countries/cultures are more advanced (not sure that's exactly the right word......but hopefully you get my meaning).Strange to me .......in a land of such large immigrant ancestry.Sad in a way that its so prominent in our conscience. And yes.....I think your exactly correct.....it does more harm than good culturally.I rather think its something left over from the old European national rivalries. As for the restaurant thing......once again......you Europeans have it right......it should be about the experience and being with loved ones.....a adventure....special.I almost hate going out to eat with most others......I have begun to decline the invitation to go just because most people gobble up their food so fast......like it's their last meal on earth or something.I like to take my time....savor the taste's.....the moments.And YES.....a PART 3!.......and 4........and 5.....,and........

  5300. Danke aus München für diese super Überblick zur Situation in Deutschland. Um die Verstromung von Gas zu reduzieren, so hat Deutschland durchaus die Möglichkeit Strom aus Biogas zu gewinnen, was auch durch Bauernhöfe geschieht, die aber auch wieder durch politische Rahmenbedingungen ausgebremst werden. Neulich kam ein Bericht, wo ein Bauernhof eine Überkapahität im Gegenwert von ca. 650 Haushalten einfach verbrennen muss, weil er diese Überproduktion einfach nicht einspeisen darf. Es ist schon der Helle Wahnsinn, wie Deutschland sich immer wieder selbst im Weg steht

  5306. Wow, so glad I came across your YouTube channel. My wife and I are sitting here in Köln and watching your channel on our TV. We moved to Köln, from Cincinnati, back in 2015. We love it here (my work), but we are required to return to the US next summer. So, we will again be back in Cincinnati. It's fun to see your perspective, and hear you talk about our hometown! Vielen dank!
    1
  5307. I'm sure I'm not the only one that is glad that you are here in the States and that you make these videos. Your perspective on the other video was precise (guess you are German), interesting and informative. Personally I don't know what happened to start me watching your videos. ...but here I am watching another one. You seem to be a genuinely nice person. It must be your welcoming and friendly smile or your charming personality that keeps me returning. Either way, keep those videos coming.

  5308. I just put in my three week notice a few days ago. As you said, for most places around here its two weeks but now that I hear in Germany its three months, I'm going to stop complaining.

  5309. Liked you videos! Western Pennsylvania has a huge population of German heritage.. For decades there were a lot of Pennsylvanians who said that they were "Pennsylvania Dutch", even my sister..LOL. I had to explain to many friends and relatives, that there's no such thing!! You are of German heritage... Anyway, many people in the "Appalachian" region of Pennsylvania, who had Grand Parents that only spoke German... Just thought that I would mention that fun fact...

  5326. It is the most embarrassing thing as a Republican conservative when I hear other conservatives make this claim. How hard is it to understand that the US is in fact BOTH a Representative Democracy AND a Constitutional Republic. It is NOT AN EITHER OR. Any country that has laws is technically a republic. So, basically every country is a republic. I really wish people would stop saying this nonsense.

  5329. This video was fantastic! I will take it to heart and try to use its information to fight how dangerously close we are in the US and other places today to this happening. Political movements and so-called Christian organizations that denounce Jews, subjugate women, harass people of color, and have little empathy for the disabled. It’s still here in the world and it’s not hiding anymore

  5332. Sorry to hear. Heal quickly. Try a little different format. For awhile, keep vids short, and post more often if needed. But keep it sized so that you don't have to edit much. It would still work. might be a part 1,2,3 thing. Hang in there, and good luck.

  5354. One cultural observation between Americans and Germans: Germans do not form a line when at movie theaters or other situations when queuing up is appropriate. In america, if you "buck" the line, you risk starting a fight or at least being yelled at. I find Germans to be somewhat brusque or pushy in public, yet on a personable level , can be quite friendly and personable when in private with friends or acqaintances. I speak from someone married to a German wife for 50 years and who has visited German many times over the decades to visit with the in-laws. Love this format between Nalf and Felicia. I have been subscribed to both of your channels for a long time. I am a Portlander , as is Nalf.

  5358. A very informative video. Cincinnati is just 50 miles down the road from where I live in Ohio. “Body bag” was the most surprising word to me. If someone asked me “Do you have a body bag?” my response would be “Uh, no…should I have one?” If you’ve been to the Sonic restaurant chain, that’s what we call a drive-in because you drive a car into a parking spot with a speaker where you order food to be brought to your car; McDonald’s is a drive-through because you drive up to the speaker and order, drive to the window to pick up your order and then drive away, thus, drive through. Subbed. Have a great day and be well.

  5369. Really cool video. I've bought and eaten gelato but didn't realize I was eating European ice cream. I thought it was something specifically to Italy since I was in an Italian restaurant that had a gelato bar. Side note: You're really getting educated making these very interesting videos. Maybe I'll see you on Jeopardy down the road.

  5381. Funny video! To all the Europeans out there: we still use checks in the US because they give you a buffer period of 3 to 5 days to change your mind or cancel payment. If you pay by bank transfer, like here in Europe, the payment is immediately deducted from your account and deposited into the receiver's account within 24 hours. If you've made a mistake or are dissatisfied with the service or item you're buying, there's nothing you can do as that payment is gone forever. In the US however, you can order your bank to stop payment on that check. This gives you excellent leverage, and for the recipient, provides an incentive for good service. If you liked drive-through ATM's, you'll love drive-through banking. I'm not sure if they offer that in Ohio, but in NY we have drive through banking everywhere, where you don't even have to leave your car to perform most banking transactions. You speak with the teller via an intercom and you slip your ID and other documents into a capsule that gets carried to the teller inside the bank via an air chute. We also have 24 hour supermarkets, especially in Upstate NY, where one of my favorites things to do when I had trouble sleeping was to go grocery shopping at 3 in the morning. It was so quiet and peaceful! Re gun culture, you're absolutely right and I share your opinion 100%!

  5390. I drink filtered water because I love my water to be COLD... tap water doesn't get cold enough to be refreshing/thirst-quenching for me. I'll use tap water when cooking something quick like instant ramen, or needing to bring a big pot to a boil. I visited Iceland a few years back and not only was their tap water freezing cold, but SO pure right from the tap. I couldn't get used to the warm water though... it had a very sulfuric smell so you'd be washing your face/showering in a rotten egg smell. The paper plates and utensils are definitely for pure convenience. We don't use the paper stuff for large get-togethers, but we do use cheap, easy-to-wash plates and silverware. I personally don't even have a set of fancy dishes.

  5391. Hi Feli, Growing up my family treated our cats the same way as yours did. However, we lived in a rural area and occasionally we would have a stray cat that would show up and just stay so would would feed it and pet it but it remained outdoors. Oddly enough the stray cats were great hunters and they kept my parents garden free of pests.

  5403. Germans (it seems) all have very similar handwriting - I was walking in Charlotte NC and I saw a restaurant sign on the street, and the handwriting "looked very German", so I walked in and I asked who wrote the sign, sure enough it was someone from Germany! As far as taking off shoes, the further north you go, the more likely the people will take off their shoes (I grew up in Canada and we always take our shoes off).

  5404. As a former Cincinnatian and UC Bearcat, I would be partial to a video on must-see/do in Cincinnati. I still have family and friends there, and now being in Charlotte, give frequent advice to friends visiting or passing through there ( I still visit a couple times a year). Curious on your take on the topic...

Nachdrücklich muss ich aber sagen, dass es nicht verwundlich ist, da ich den qualitativ hochwertigen Inhalt des Kanals des deutschen Mädchens in Amerika schon kennengelernt habe. What i also really like is: Der Teil, als beide festgestellt und erklärt haben, wie die unterschiedlichen Sprachen ihr Kommunikationsverhalten beeinflussen. So zum Beispiel meinten beide in Englisch häufiger und lieber "smalltalk" zu tätigen. Wow. So interesting.

  5419. I spent just shy of 10 years stationed in Germany - mostly in Frankfurt. As for the number of "bases" in Germany I have bring up a point that may not be clear to Americans. In the states we have fewer bases - but they are LARGE in comparison. Not just in land mass, but in population. Ramstein is pretty much the only US base sized base there that I can think of. Most of these are small installations with a handful of units or activities versus a full-up base on one large property. Why? Whelp, it's because we pretty much took over existing WWII German installations - which were scattered around an area with a couple of units on this base, another couple across town on another base etc. Strategically, this was pretty smart when you think about it. There were thousands of these places after the war, we probably had 200 or more of them when we started drawing down after the Gulf War. The German government wasn't fully prepared for this, so reuse plans quickly went awry. Many of these small installations sat and became overgrown. Some were destroyed, some revamped and reused (like Herzo Artillery Base - now the HQ for Adidas). I loved my time in Germany! The thing I never understood was that so many Americans didn't take the opportunity to learn about the country, the language, and to go out and make German friends. Nope, if they said they went to (fill in military community) it meant they went there to the PX or something, NOT the town. I, and later my family, would just pick a direction and "go get lost" on weekends. We saw some really cool places that way, and met some really cool people. And Feli - your parents likely remember the US bases around Munchen. They went away right after the Gulf War ended. As for the military discounts in the US - most of that only dates back 20 years. The direct (government) military and veteran benefits (VA etc.) have been around decades.

I know why my people settled in Wisconsin. It is very similar to where they came from. I went during Kirmes festival. If not for the language, I would have sworn I was in Wisconsin. Loved it!

  5461. Just found your channel. As a Brit, I've always been curious about how ordinary Germans got through life in the last 80 years. I must say, British education is massively inferior to the rest of Europe. We don't learn enough languages (because everyone learns ours!), nor do we look outside the UK as a whole regarding history. We may as well be in the middle of the Atlantic 😂 Thank you for such an informative video 👌

If I can make it to Germany someday I don't want to insult a girl.. for instance, by trying to pay for a meal. On a different note, most German movies I've seen have music in English. What's going on there??

  5465. I love gelato! I love ice cream! It's not either/or with me. My first gelato experience was in Italy (well, actually San Marino) in 1987, and it was a game-changer for me. Back then it wasn't as popular or easy to find in the U.S. as it is today. But, to me, comparing pitting ice cream against gelato is like pie vs. cake. They're both great desserts but two different things. I love ice cream because of its creaminess, and I'm pretty picky about it. I don't buy the ice cream brands that have too much air in them. I prefer Haagen Dasz because it's denser than other more "airy" brands. There's also a local ice cream shop here in NJ that's very popular and is the closest thing to Haagen Dasz I've found. They make all their ice cream on the premises. Anyway, ice cream is number 1 in my book, and so is gelato! lol

  5473. Guten tag Deutscher Madchen. I lived in Giessen, West Germany for three years when I served in the US Army in the 70's and 80's. My favorite City in Germany to visit was Munchen. I especially loved the " Deutsches Museum " which is like our Smithsonian Institute I think. I enjoyed living in Germany then and i found the people very friendly if you at least did try to learn their language and culture. My first Christmas there I was part of a program that joined Soldiers with no family with them with German families who volunteered to host them for Weinachten. On the form they asked if I spoke A) No German.......B) a little German.....C) Fluent German. I checked " B " because I had taken one year of German Language in 9th grade High School. I had forgotten most but if you stopped me on the street and asked me " Wo ist der Bahnhof ? " I was your man. I would tell you immediately in my very confident German " Gerade aus, und rechts ". ( that was always the response in our text book ) Actually I had no idea where the train station was. Frau Otto and her son and and grandkids spoke no English. Fortunately they invited their very charming young neighbor from upstairs also. She was from Russia and was an actress in the Giessen Stadttheater. I had taken two years of Russian in my later years in High School. Haha so between my poor German , better Russian and their bits of English we got along quite well. Dankeschon for the video. Liked, U-Boot ( subbed ) und Rang Bell

  5485. Dear Kate, I would like to add to Feli's comment that private schools are not very common in Germany. So most kids attend public schools that are under supervision of the state you live in. Usually there is a ministry for education that sets up the contents that are taught in schools. And there are scientists that work as adviser for the ministry when it sets up those contents (at least I hope so).

  5492. The way Americans use the German word "Angst" isn't quite correct. Then again, can't really call it wrong if they used it to patch a hole in their own language and the meaning is not exactly the same as in German, it just is different. Then again, you could say similar things about most words one language adopts from another. Not all, but some Americans also seem to have a off understanding of "Schadenfreude" and use it in the context of someone wishing bad things on someone. Most Americans seem to get it right though.
    1
  5493. Here is a small list I can think of : lust / Lust, craft / Kraft, art / Art, spiel / Spiel, fee / Fee, kind / Kind.....Imagine the embarrassment that can arise when a German speaker trying to learn English uses " lust " when he/she wishes to mean " Lust " lol.

  5495. Freut mich für dich. Ist ein sehr interessanter Weg, den du da gegangen bist, irgendwann halt mal Glück gehabt, dann aber definitiv das Beste daraus gemacht! Ganz stark. Ich bin ein paar Jahre vor dir auf anderen Wegen hier in den USA angelandet, bin immer noch hier und auch doppelter Staatsbürger. Finde deine Videos auch immer gut gemacht, weil du halt nicht irgendwelchen Blödsinn raushaust, sondern recherchierst und dann die Stimme der Vernunft erschallen läßt, statt irgendwelche Stereotypen zu füttern. Bist auch nicht eine dieser besserwissenden Superdeutschen, die in den USA immer nur die Fehler brandmarken und Deutschland bei all den Fehlern als heiligen Gral der Unfehlbarkeit darstellen, was natürlich auch Unsinn ist, ich aber unter Deutschen hier sehr oft beobachte. Da frage ich mich immer, was machst du dann eigentlich hier in USA, wenn alles so Schei.. is? Also, ich danke dir ganz ehrlich einfach dafür, daß du eine so authentische Repräsentantin unseres Geburtslandes bist. Ich lebe übrigens in Washington State. Ist zwar etwas teurer als Ohio, obwohl lt. Google die Mietpreise in Cincinnati nicht viel niedriger sind als hier. Außer in Seattle, aber das ist ja nicht ganz Washington. Viel Glück auf deiner weiteren Reise durchs Leben!

  5501. If an American asks me why we are so obsessed with our "no speed limits" autobahn, I'm often comparing it with the right to own weapons in the U.S. In both countries theses things are considered to be a symbol of individual freedom. In both cases people in other countries just don't understand why we are so fanatic about this. Even within our countries these are highly controversial topics.

  5504. Feli, I mentioned German men peeing siting down in a Tweet thread. I expecting to get a lot of “real men stand up to pee!” However, I got only positive responses. So I went back & posted the following:”‪Anyone wanting to know about how men pee in Germany might check out “German Girl in Ameirica” on YouTube or Facebook. She has a video on the subject along with many more interesting subjects.” So if you see a jump in hits on this video, that may be why. Thanks

  5509. "irritated" is also a very dangerous false friend, especially in a business context Germans often say "I'm a bit irritated", which means "I'm a bit confused". It may well contain some annoyance, but then it's actually a very friendly way of saying "if it's like I think, I'm really a bit angry", but with "irritiert" there's still room for clearing up misunderstandings. So it is actually an invitation to provide clarification. However, an Englishman then sits bolt upright and thinks the German is super unfriendly and might let the deal fall through.😄

  5522. Ich und meine Freundin sind als Veganer 2014 für 3 Wochen mit einem Wohnmobil in den USA unterwegs gewesen. Auf unserer Reise von LA -> Frisco -> Lake Tahoe -> Vegas -> Phönix -> LA hatten wir die ganze Zeit eigentlich keine Probleme uns "zu ernähren". Selbst am Lake Tahoe gab es ein kleines, feines veganes Cafe damals schon! Gut sortiert waren auch die Whole Foods Märkte mit veganen Produkten und jede Star Bucks Filiale hatte "soy milk" für den Latte Macciato. Dumm angeguckt hat uns eigentlich nie wer wenn wir uns als Veganer ausgaben, aber Californien ist glaube ich (auch damals schon) viel weiter gewesen als der Rest der USA. Im mittleren Westen hätte man vermutlich Bauklötze gestaunt, hätten wir uns als Veganer geoutet.😅 Ansonsten kann ich nur sagen das dein Kanal super ist und ich mich freue ihn gefunden zu haben.

  5525.  @FelifromGermany  it was a real punch in the gut emotionally. Purely from a business standpoint, part of me was thinking “you didn’t save her. Why do you think you’re entitled to tens of thousands of dollars, when you couldn’t do the thing she was brought in to do?” Fourteen years earlier, we lost my father to lung cancer. At one point during the summer when he had been fighting it via chemo and radiation, when he had been wiped out by the process, we called hospice to see if they could help us. I remember this nurse who had been a nurse for a while and a hospice nurse for over a decade - so she’d definitely seen some things - talking to me. I remember telling her that the oncologist said that the tumor had been massively shrunken, down to the size of a postage stamp. I asked her what if we were just able to let him rest, regain his strength, and maybe he could finish his chemotherapy treatments and wipe out the cancer. She looked at me in a way that wasn’t condescending or patronizing, but both sympathetic and sad. I remember her saying “oh sweetie… They will always be willing to give him one more chemo treatment, right up until he takes his last breath.” I remember being confused at that, asking why? And she looked down at her hand and made a gesture with it of a person getting money in their palm. After he died, I remember the table in the eat in kitchen covered with medical bills. And I understood. Thank you for saying what you said here. All my adult life and then some, I’ve had friends and others say something like “well sure we could have healthcare like they do in Europe. But they have to wait so much longer to see a doctor and the care isn’t as good.” I’ve had friends in Canada, the UK, France, and Austria all tell me that wasn’t true. But hearing someone like you who has people who listen to you say it - thank you.

  5527. Bavarians drink warm beer when they feel under the weather. Like you feel that you start to have a cold or something. Drink a glass of warm beer and you'll sweat it out. Ice in beer should be made illegal. That's just gross. It waters it down. Makes no sense.. About the dirndl... I live in the country side of South eastern Bavaria. In the Bavarian forest. I own several dirndl. I need them for work. 😂
    1
  5528.  @FelifromGermany  I'm a waitress. In a typical Bavarian restaurant. I need to wear the dirndl. Yeah... You're right. Dirndl is either formal wear, what you wear during the fest time (Oktoberfest, gäubodenfest, etc) or work clothes. Not every day wear. 😂

When the country is back to Business, maybe you can visit the state I live in, Michigan.

  5539. I´ve grown up in an International School ... as a German ... so I am bilingual as well ... the FUN comes in when you start using German Dialects ... I come from the Frankfurt Region and had a fellow student from ( I think it was ) Idaho ... She currently working in tourism and kept jumping between Germany and the US ... Every time she jumps from English into German and back, especially with a Hessian Dialect ... I burst into tears laughing ... this is soooo hilarious ...

  5540. You mentioned in another video that Germans aren’t so religious. Given your comments in this video it sounds like most Germans do celebrate Christmas. Would you say that Germans do believe in God but don’t often attend church, or would it be more accurate to say Germans are largely agnostic or atheist ? If they are largely agnostic or atheist, why would Christmas be so largely celebrated there? Thank you!

  5544. You are a marvel. I think Americans like you because you are not critical of us. We are in a moment of cultural tension now, and we tend to be more critical of ourselves than you are. People often praise you for having such a good command of English. Yes, but you are also very bright and positive. I can't sense what kind of employment you seek, but I hope it is in a field where your great skills as a communicator are allowed to shine. Your videos are a real gift to us.

  5545. Thank you for this Video. I'm from Germany and I need to comment it also. - Some of the new crime after 2015 is between refugees (which is unrelevant for rest of the people in germany) and the other are crime against refugees which is very sad. - Regarding restrooms: It is illegal to fee for restrooms in restaurants for their guests. There is just the exception for restaurants at the highways. - yeah we pay about 50% of our income... but not for taxes... this is for much more including healthcare... but this is one reasons why here not so many people die due to corona... I'm happy to pay and survive :-) The Healthcare include payment while you are off because of health problems... huge benefit during corona. - About digital payment: its not about we dont trust to pay digital, we just prefer not to be trackable.... this is still because Nazi time and the horrivle time in eastern geremany. With this experinece you don't want to be trackable. - I have airconditioning in my house... a very efficient offcourse. But I don't use it often, as mentioned in the video: I just dont need and like it. - You are allowed to be loud on sundays... for leisure activities... while the daytime. - Hmmm Nazis are very bad and it is sad that there are some... but we are very sesitive against "Nazis". I would rate the US-President as a NAZI... so atleast we don't make them president.

  5569. Every German who has been working regularly for at least 5 years(to have a title against the social fund) and at least 35 years (to retire earlier than aged 67) and therefore been paying into the social funds has a pension which will cover the minimum necessary for subsistence and might be even rather comfortable if you actually have been earning average or above average throughout your working life. And no German need ever fear being unable to pay for any medical treatment. If you come up with a means to capitalize this you will find that Germans are much richer than you would imagine.

  5571. Screw you. Cincinnati is a fantastic city to live in. It has a lot of charm, plus great suburbs to move to with rising property values and great schools. Cincy is also home to many F500 companies including GE, PG, Kroger, PNC, just to name a few. Then there are rich traditions in Cincinnati as it is one of the oldest cities in the Midwest. The city is also being gentrified heavily, so there are a lot of great businesses opening up as well as rising property values across the metro area.

  5572. Hey Felicia, great topic to discus! I am an American Living in the Netherlands. My wife who is Dutch and I watch TV Series and a past series we watched was "Grimm", which was a great show.

  5577. As Polish Silesian I need to add some context After WWII Poland becomed a communist, non-independent state and the communists wanted to make Poland 100% monoethnic country so they sent all non-Poles to their country of origin But after collapse of communism in Poland in 1989 German minority is officially registered here and have rights to own schools, culture etc We even have German minority representant in our parlament (Ryszard Galla) so German Silesians are very welcomed here and now we live in peace and support each other <3 Of course, there are people who don't like Germans but they're not even woth mentioning If you want to know more about Polish-German relations in latest decades I reccomend this short video by Sozial-Kulturelle Gesellschaft der Deutschen im Oppelner Schlesien https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydwP9j0h5o4

  5578. I eat with my left hand, and cut my meat as you described. When I was in germany (2 YEARS) I found myself right at home. I actually learned to use my fork in the left hand as a 1st grader in England. In the dining hall we sat on long benches at lo-o-o-ng tables. I started eating right handed and ran into some difficulty with the guy to my right. So I switched .

  5583. Hi from India! Some 30-40% of India is vegetarian for religious reasons (including me) so it has obviously never been a problem here. I found a nice variety of options when I visited Europe (Italy, France and Switzerland; would love to visit Germany sometime). Never been to the US, it seems difficult haha. Many of my vegetarian friends/relatives started eating meat when they moved abroad because it was too hard to manage otherwise.

  5609. I wanted to agree with theallseeingmaster that a car moving at much higher rate of speed flashing from a distance is important because if you have ever tried to break hard at those speeds it is not very safe- the brakes are not all the same and it will pull the car off coarse. So it is in my opinion a good thing to do to avoid causing the faster driver an accident. As for unlimited speeds guess you didn't know Texas has one and said all new Interstates will be unlimited. Thanks for the video, see you in the next one.

  5614. I had no idea Germany celebrated carnival . You should come check out Mardi Gras , Louisiana's version of carnival in New Orleans and in Cajun country. They sound very similar in many ways . I'll never forget my first Mardi Gras in 1986 when I was 15. The French quarter is much to packed now mostly of tourist during Mardi Gras but the outlying parades where the natives go are really cool . It's something you should try and experience while you're here in the US if you get a chance. Bourbon Street is a 24 hour nonstop party all year long until midnight on fat Tuesday . The cops roll through the French quarter pushing everybody off the streets and don't let you back until about six in the morning . That's the only time the quarter is shut down all your long

  5617. I agree with you about driving on the autobahn. Yes, it is fun to drive really fast, but when you are just driving normally it can be really stressful sometimes. Especially when it’s only a 2 lane autobahn and the right lane is always filled with trucks driving 100km/h and the left lane is filled with Audi’s and BMWs driving 200+ km/h.

I have lived in areas of the US where the winter lows are -35F for several weeks a year. You are a great ambassador for Germany. One-half of my ancestry is from NW Germany, but my wife's side is from Bavaria. I am going to put visiting Germany back in my bucket list, mostly due to your YouTube channel. I need to also visit Cincinnati again since several of my ancestors lived there in the mid-1800s.

The recommended top loader has a ratcheting screw mechanism the idea is like a front loader the wash circulates from top to bottom then also the paddles at the bottom beat the dirt out of the clothes. The unit pictured uses less electricity....cheers

  5646. I have to disagree that America teaches abstinence-only sex ed. When I was in 8th grade back in the 1980's in rural Ohio, we had 1 week of sex ed where the boys and girls were separated for the first 4 days and then together on the 5th. The boys were with a local medical doctor and the girls were with our regular teacher (a woman). All of us boys were taken aback when the doctor came in and said, "We are here this week to discuss sex and sexuality which you guys might refer to as fucking". That may seem shocking but he was letting us know that nothing was off-topic, we could ask anything (of course nothing personal), and he wanted us to feel comfortable. Everything was covered from anatomy, to diseases, to personal responsibility, etc. Then finally on the 5th day the girls and boys were brought back to together where every type of birth control available at that time was brought into the classroom and passed around and described. There was nothing dirty or provocative about the class but it was fact-based and straight forward.

Gerade frage ich mich sogar, ob das nicht ein unbemerkter Beweis für Wiedergeburten ist. Ganz ehrlich: Er quatscht da so natürlich vor sich hin, der war doch im früheren Leben Deutscher! lol Hab jetzt nicht alle Videos auf'm Schirm und höre mir das Video gerade auch nicht komplett an, aber spricht Josh auch noch andere Sprachen?

  5654. The 42 per cent income tax is definitely a mistake! Yes, we DO pay 42 cents for every additional Euro we earn when our income exceeds a certain amount (which is afaik far above 50,000 €). BUT that's not the average tax rate. The first 10,000 € you earn in Germany per person are tax free. Then another 10,000 are taxed with a really low taxe rate and so on. Thus, the 42 per cent are our German - you Americans are going to hate me for the compound noun ;-) - "Spitzensteuersatz" (top tax rate). A couple earning 100,000 € will pay around 20,000 € in taxes with a chance to get quite a bit of refund when doing their tax declaration. To be fair, they'll also pay round about another 20,000 € for our really world famous social security system. About half of that for our "Rentenversicherung" (401 k system) which is a non commercialized/non privatized pensions system paying every German pensionist who worked fulltime for 40 years about 65 to 70 per cent of their average net income for the rest of their lifetime once they reach the age of 65 (increased to 70). Another 8 per cent go to obligatory health insurance for every employee and all of his relatives (unemployed spouse and children under 18) which is the cause why close to nobody in Germany is without health insurance. By the way: the same amount of social security is payed by every employer. This enourmously strong social security system is definitely one of my top 3 reasons FOR living in Germany.

  5655. Have to plead guilty to paper plates/plasticware: when my daughter-in-law died suddenly a few years ago, we started doing all the cooking for our son and 4 kids who live next door. Making meals for 9 every day was more than we could keep up with, even with a dishwasher. But we do rinse/recycle the plates and wash/reuse the plasticware. At least, this way we only have to run the dishwasher once a day…

  5664. Great video! I would definitely visit Germany if I had the chance to. I don’t think I would want to live there though. One of my German coworkers (he lives in Nettetal) once commented about how “us Germans like to make rules for everything” or something like that. He meant how there are rules and regulations on everything. I prefer having the freedom to what I want when I want however loud I want. But I definitely would want to visit!

  5667. Ich mag Deine Ohrringe. Sie erinnern mich an Traumfänger der amerikanischen Ureinwohner. Cheyenne, Siox etc . Hattest Du während Deinem Aufenthalt in den Staaten Kontakt zu Nachfahren dieser Ureinwohner? Bis Du interessiert in deren Kultur oder liegt Dir mehr am modern way of live in the US?

  5676. I love your channel! I'm in Canada, and I have no German heritage, but I find it fascinating! Some of our holidays are the same, and some don't correspond at all. Canada is not particularly religious, so we don't have many of the same holidays. Even Thanksgiving in Canada is at a totally different time than The States, although it's essentially the same holiday. Keep being awesome!

  5688. It's not much, but hope it helps, sorry you're being forced to change something you've poured your heart into for the past few years, especially doing everything you could do to find the best solution for you and her. Sorry again Feli for all the stress and heartache this has put you through. By all means re-upload your older videos, I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure we won't mind. I wish you the best of luck in all of your current and future endeavors, and looking forward to seeing content from Feli from Germany!

  5690. Hi. Es waren mehr Worte als ich dachte, aber ich habe noch ein Wort, daß du vielleicht noch nicht wusstest. Das deutsche Wort "RUCKSACK", es wird in Englisch oder USA ausgesprochen wie "RUGGSEGG". Das Wort gibts auch in Russisch und hat die gleiche Bedeutung. Gruß Kalle

  5699. What I miss now in America is having a Rechnung being sent with an order and paying it once I receive the order via a bank transfer. I miss the bank transfers greatly! So easy! I also miss the pharmacies in Germany. You can’t get good advice in pharmacies in the US and they don’t sell the same things like they do in Europe. Sinupret is pure gold! I also like how many meds in Germany are sold with herbal preparations like the cough medicines. Lastly, I miss the stores. I miss the fresh, inexpensive groceries, and that the stores are mostly full of fresh ingredients with limited processed foods. I miss the Biomärkte and DM. I miss shops and bakeries having kids’ areas and people being more welcoming of kids. Whilst I have found good bread here, I still miss all the variety of the bakeries in Germany. No one can beat Deutscher Kuchen!

  5705. Congratulations on the new studio.Zum Wohle! You worked hard and it looks great. Funny that word " Staubsauger". I have not heard that used in a long time. In my part of Philadelphia the people of german descent were mostly from Swabia. Our local German club is the Danube/Swabian Club. The old timers used that term to describe a drunk, (later on for people who had a particular bad drug habit.) Never knew that it meant Vacuum cleaner.

  5708. I had a former girlfriend take in a cat and had it declawed...the cat never forgave her and when we split she tried to take her cat with her but the cat wouldn't leave and even bit her so i kept Stevie (my first indoor cat) for 12 more years, meeting my wife and starting my family she stayed with us until she was victimized by feline cancer. My daughter has had cats and none of our furniture that we have ever owned was worth more to us than the cats well being. They were and are indoor/outdoor cats. The cat she had now is a polydactyl and it would seem a shame to deprive her of that amazing gift.

  5709. Tolles Video! Ok. Das mit Handy, Public Viewing und box wusste ich, aber das andere nicht.

As far as good Italian food is concerned, in Cincinnati, you may have a hard time finding good Italian food, but in New York, Boston and a number of other cities, good Italian restaurants are easily found.

  5722. Mind blown... I know hut and hat, yet until now, I never realised that Pizza Hut does NOT mean HAT .. The logo really reminds too much of a hat. I guess that always stopped me from actually thinking while reading - or reading at all. (i'm german)

  5723.  @FelifromGermany  I'm glad we have universal health care paid by out taxes. I'm assuming Germany would be similar to NZ in this regard. Surprised Americans are opposed to this type of system.. Looking forward to your American Healthcare VLog. Happy and Safe Christmas.

  5756. I haven't tried Erdinger weißbier, but I prefer Weihenstephaner over Franziskaner. Dunkel is my favorite style though - I actually really liked Hofbräu's dunkel the one time I tried it, more so than the weißbier I had in Munich (mostly Franziskaner and Paulaner, as that's what the restaurants had).

  5759. Caught your Christmas video and you mentioned Advent Calendars. I had never heard of them. Suddenly they are everywhere. Both of my local grocery stores chains have Advent Calendar displays near the checkout. Target here also has displays. I got a youtube ad offering "authentic Advent Calendars" directly from Germany. And finally the local online newspaper did an article on "the most expensive Advent calendar" Could you be responsible for igniting this Advent Calendar craze????
    1
  5760. You can say anything you want in germany and many do, but that doesn't mean, that you don't get any backlash. Germans are pretty fact based, so if you use alternative facts like some of the things in number one, which are flat out wrong, you will be getting your backlash. I think, that is a good and important thing to protect you from fake news ;)

Dont ever get the nasty sausage or jagdwurst in a can or jar-- it is so awful Salvi i guess is Violet and black licorice. Läkerol with salvi i like. Nougat i love! Milka mit Haselnuss oder Daim!

  5764. I LOVE hefeweisse beer!

  5765. Wow!! Thank you. There are many that I've been pronouncing right, but a few that I've been pronouncing wrong. The one that stands out the most is Miele. I actually thought Miele was an Italian brand, as I heard it pronounced 'me-elle-lay' here in Canada.

  5766. I'm American live in Berlin, Germany for over 40 years! This year we didn't have no snow at all in Berlin! There is a big difference between Bayern and Berlin! I think it great that on Sunday that most everything is closed! What makes me angry is people bring up Nazis my wife is NOT A NAZIS! Germany is a great country! I love living in Berlin, it like living in the U.S.A. This guy don#t even live in Germany! Thank you for this video! Yes, you're right!

  5772. Other things I had never done before moving to the US: - driven an automatic - used a garbage disposal - worked a ceiling fan or knew how to turn the thing off again - used an express elevator - used a water fountain - at least not something like the common US type ones - knew what a solo cup was or drank from one - used a personalized automatic voice messaging system at work or in a hotel room I am sure there are tons more, but that's a start.

  5777. You are so right about the English plural vs the American singular: I still stub my toes when I hear the English say, for example, "Thus and so Corporation are implementing..." or whatever. In the US, it would be, "Thus and so Corporation is implementing..."

  5784. The house I grew up in just north of Seattle had the washer in the kitchen, simply because there was no other place for it (the house was less than 800 square feet). No dryer- we used a clothesline or the laundromat on rainy days, sometimes a drying rack. On another note, I have a Miele® W4842 washer I bought ten years ago, and nothing compares to German engineering IMO. It is terrific. Glad to see you're approaching 100K subscribers!!!

  5791. Sheesh...call me ignorant...but I didn't really realize half of these sayings are German!!! I mean, lots of American English come from German, Spanish, Italian, Latin...You teach us Americans a lot about Germany, but it's really awesome to learn about my own language more too! Kaput? Doppelganger? German huh? How cool :) Thanks for the great info!

  5792. Please make a video just quoting random German taxes 😄 Love to hear you say "Mehrwertsteuer" and even more "der Soli" at 17:51 <3

  5797. I live up in Mansfield Ohio. My mother moved from Germany in the early 1950's. Have you been to the Cincinnati Donauschwaben park? I know what you mean about the friendliness of people. I ski at the local ski resort "Snow Trails" and ride the lift with people from out of town. They remark at how friendly people are at our ski area compared to a resort up north. It makes a difference.

  5804. As someone pointed already out, Eisendrache is "Iron Dragon". Although one can probably argue that you could have Something Like "eisener/eisiger Drache" (icy dragon). But i guess the Band named themselves after the metal. "Versengold" ist really interesting, as gar as I read it the Name has multiple puns and alusions. First as you said IT could refer to "Vers" or the plural "Verse" and denote that the Lyrics of this band are pure gold. But at the same time, IT could be aluding to the expression "Fersengeld geben" which means "to run away" usually after Bring cought doing Something one should have done. Considering the Tone of Versengold's music and Lyrics this could easily be seen as the Band having to tun away for critiquing or making fun of someone. And a little more far fetched, it could be seen as above but inserting a pun in "Kopfgeld" or in their medival setting "Kopfgold", which would bei a Bounty. But since they are so quick to run away (Fersengeld geben) the Bounty ist in their feet/Heels instead of their Heads. PS: never gonna unhear Feli say " Sex with an Ex ist usually pronouced with a soft 's'"

  5807. Felicia and Montana finally United! Girls, what took you so long! A dream combo! - And as far the „Austrian Dialekt“ is concerned: there is no one Austrian Dialekt, there are so many! I guess Montana thinks of an upper Austrian sort of dialect that she heard near Passau, but that would definitely be different from the dialects spoken in the Tyrol, in Carinthia or even Vienna! 😀

  5808. I had a great time living in Germany Feli

  5809. Awesome video! Incorporating the comments of other people from Germany was a great idea. My father was four years old and living in Honolulu when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, so I've heard more about the Pacific side of WWII. It's only as an adult that I've gotten more interested in other aspects of the war. In the past decade, I've tried to visit the countries where my family lived. They did not come from Germany, but if I make it to France, I'd like to visit Germany too. The stumbling stones, in particular, intrigue me.

  5817. The Mardi Gras celebrations sound the most similar to your carnival (sorry for spelling). It is celebrated at the same time, right before Lent, for much the same reasons. The only place that does it right is New Orleans, LA. Specifically the French Quarter. You owe it to yourself to do Mardi Gras at least once while you are here. Love your videos, you're always so positive and fun. It's a great break from how crazy world has gotten lately.

  5833. I went into this video with DEEP apprehension and anticipation of another slam against American ways. But this was a pleasant surprise. I can only speak of the way it was when I went to primary school 40+ years ago. We learned cursive in 3rd grade and were given the option of continuing to use it--with one caveat: You HAD to write in cursive for the remainder of the semester. It was that same way with pencils/pens. As for letters and numbers, I can't tell you when or where I learned my habits--other than maybe it was a result of writing really fast and adapting my characters to fit. That said, keep these nice gems coming!

  5840. In Teilen von Baden-Württemberg und Hessen wird 'Stein' zu einem Maßkrug, auch zu solchen, die es z. B. in München auf der Wies'n zu Hauf gibt, gesagt. In Bayern werden sie "Humpen" genannt. Die Bezeichnungen "Bierkrug" und "Maßkrug" werden überall in Deutschland verstanden. Mit Wein oder Apfelwein gefüllt werden sie in Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz und Baden-Württemberg "Schoppe(n)" genannt. Das hat aber überhaupt nichts mit shoppen zu tun! ;-p :D Grüße  In parts of Baden.Wuerttemberg and Hesse (southwest Germany) we call beer mugs - also those 1 litre mugs made of glass, which you often get your beer served in at Oktoberfest in Munich - 'Stein', too. But "Bierkrug" and "Maßkrug" are commonly understood in every part of Germany. In Bavaria, they are called "Humpen". Specially if filled with wine or cider, in Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Wurttemberg we call them "Schoppe(n)". But that has got absolutely NOTHING to do with shopping. ;-p :D Regards

  5866. I'm Swiss and I've never seen the movie. It really isn't a thing here (even though we traditionally really love Edelweiss as well ;) ). I've only ever heard of the movie when Americans referenced it and always wondered why that is so. Since Sissi is pretty loved around here too and the biggest Christmas movie by far is 3 Nüsse für Aschenbrödel.

  5892. A long time ago.....In Germany my German friend parked the car. She pulled out a paper clock, set the hour/minute arms and placed on the dashboard. I asked her what she was doing and she told me that the parking space time was only an hour, so she was setting the time that she parked. I laughed and 1/2 jokingly said to her "why don't you just set it ahead an hour to give us more time?" She replied "it's forbidden and against the rules" . I chuckled and said "this would never work in the States, we like bending and breaking rules"

  5893.  @nathanaelrobinson4831  : When Levi Strauss emigrated to the USA in 1848, German citizenship (as we understand it today) did not yet exist. What existed was the "German Confederation", (= "Deutscher Bund") an association of cities and regions to assert their own interests. Jews have always had a difficult time in Germany. In 1848 the Nazi regime was far from in existence. German Jews were then treated like resident foreigners, but they were just "German citizens" like anyone else residing in that region. Until 1848, Levi Strauss (and his parents) had no other homeland apart from Germany at that time. So he was German. His family left Germany more or less voluntarily for economic reasons.

  5935. using the same bullshit logic he did in his video you could also say: don’t move to the US because, -most people are fat -most people are stupid -the citizens will shoot you -the police will shoot you -the food is unhealthy and packed with harmful additives, sugar, fat & salt, so you will get fat, get diabetes and die -the political system is run by corrupt, right winged, conservative, sexist, racist, fascist idiots -the president is a sexist, racist, lying, criminal moron and a lot of people still like him. -the healthcare system is shit. people die because they can’t afford medical help. -the education system is shit & expensive. So people are barely educated and in debt. -the system for law enforcement and prisons is shit. many people are mistreated, tortured or killed (f.e. Guantanamo is still open) -there are huge problems with human & equal rights, racism, sexism, corruption and politics all over the place. -and so much more -so if you are not a wealthy white straight male you should literally move to ANY european country and you will most likely be better of. so yeah don’t move to the USA Disclaimer: Note that these are extreme stereotypes and illegitimate generalisations. They are not 100% accurate or true. This is just for the purpose of showing that the US has a lot of big problems and using the guys logic against him.

  5945. Thanks so much, I really enjoyed hearing the differences between American and German social behavior. At work I answered my phone with my last name only, and thought it was an efficient way to start communication, while at home or on my cell I answer with "hello". Funny, I also want the sheets and blankets un-tucked. Have to say your English is better than most Americans, and far better than many. Looking forward to more of your observations.

  5947. I love Germany! It is funny that all 6 things are issues that drive me crazy in Germany! The tap water issue is widespread, I never got tap water in Munich! Customer service-- I went to the pub next to Platzl hotel and ordered a cheeseburger, it was not a cheeseburger so I asked for something else but I got charged for both! I was in Munich during the major heat wave over the summer and it was not fun!

  5948. also the 42% income tax is simply wrong. the first 9400€ per year are tax free. for every € more you are charged 14%. this rate increases up to a max. of 42% that you have to pay for every euro ABOVE 57k €.

  5955. I lived in Giessen in around 1979-1980. I used to take the train to Frankfurt by myself all the time to go to my favorite hobby store. I was about 11. Never had any problems with the German people, especially if you got away from the military installations. I understand we are pompous and arrogant as Americans lol. I can’t imagine it’s changed THAT much as this assclown is implying. I will have to say though, my step mother is German and hearing her talk to her mom on the phone is like listening to a nasty argument! Lmao. Just kidding. Love watching your videos. And you have the cutest smile ever!

  5960. The story about Black Friday being so names because that’s when stores went “in the black” is a myth. According to Encyclopedia Britannica: “A more accurate explanation of the term dates back to the early 1960s, when police officers in Philadelphia began using the phrase “Black Friday” to describe the chaos that resulted when large numbers of suburban tourists came into the city to begin their holiday shopping and, in some years, attend Saturday’s annual Army-Navy football game. The huge crowds created a headache for the police, who worked longer shifts than usual as they dealt with traffic jams, accidents, shoplifting, and other issues.”

  5965. The type of video that you picked apart here has become all too common and represents the dumbing down of society. You did a real nice job and kept it authentic. I like how he said everyone be nice to each other but he is doing the opposite with his bias. Keep up the good work this is great.

  5976. This does not exactly fit your criteria, but one of my favorite German adaptations of an American/English expression is Abgefacked. I'm not sure of the spelling, but I think you know what I'm trying to say. By the way, I also noticed that the word "cool" also made its way into the Russian language. I watched a Russian-made movie called "Nightwatch" (Nochnoy Dozor) and one of the characters was telling his dad that another character was okay, that he could be trusted - he was cool . . . as best as I can write it, "eta coolnye." So it was basically a Russian adaptation that takes a foreign expression and applies Russian conjugation. Anyway, this has been for me personally the most interesting episode of your show. I grew up in Germany as an American and saw this kind of language process most of my life. Thank you for a more modern take on this.

  5988. Hi Feli, Congratulations on reaching the 100,000 subscriber milestone. You have a sunny good nature and an engaging personality and I am sure the number of subscribers will continue to grow. I hope that the physical therapy goes well and that you get complete use of your right hand back soon.

  6007. I try to convince my family that I think Germania a lovely language, but they're convinced it's harsh. If they could hear your spoken German, they might see how musical the language is. Love the videos. Very straightforward and interesting.

  6010. I very much enjoyed watching this video. As an intermediate beginner, I am trying to absorb as much as possible to better my understanding of the German language. I hope to be at a level like you both are. Thank you for your post! Looking forward to seeing more! Vielen danke! 👍

  6018. When quarantine is over, visit Frankenmuth, MI and give your thoughts. I've always wondered what a real German's take on it would be.
    1
  6019. I think legal cannabis is the most important thing for today's Germany. I can't help but think if German people could have relieved stress by having a chat and smoking out that would have avoided a whole lot of historical unpleasantness.

  6031. I would not be able to bear sleeping in bed without the sheets tucked in. I even think of it as a cave to sleep in so it is hilarious that you used that description. It looks like you already added a video but for the record, I would say yes to another video. Good luck Felicia and thanks again (wrote a longer comment below).

  6034. Love this. I always thought adidas and puma were somehow American companies with Spanish based named, hence the car name puma. Love the background info. Very useful.

  6049. Not learning German is my greatest downfall, my Oma was German from Cochem, but my dad was born in England but speaks fluent German but my mum who’s English always said he was too lazy to teach us 🤣 and we only saw my Oma 4-5 times a year, all my cousins on my dads side speak fluent German, I’m trying now but it would have been easier when I was younger ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  6058. You both made really good points, and it was a very enjoyable video! Hopefully you two will continue this conversation in the future! I also agree with Nick that Germans have a great heritage and culture, and absolutely should be proud of that! Every country through history has had a few bad apples, but I do think that Germany gets a particularly bad rap where other countries get a pass. I don't think Germans should be afraid to show pride in their country and culture, especially since I've learned that they really pull together for their families, communities and the nation. ☺️😀

  6061. Indoor vs. outdoor: My old cat used to go outside plenty of the time; he tended to hang out in our backyard, and it was never much of a problem. We lived right in urban San Francisco, too. Maybe it's more of a regional thing to have a strict indoor/outdoor cat divide. I do know my cousins used to have strictly outdoor farm cats, but those cats were semi-feral anyway (they fed them to keep rodents away). "Declawing": utter barbarism. Should be illegal. It's like foot-binding for cats. Any owner who does that isn't fit to own a pet. I think it only survives in the US because we have such lax regulations on everything and so bad people get away with animal abuse.

  6065. It’s a food item, but currywurst is almost unheard of in the USA. It’s one thing I miss about my time in Germany. I loved a good currywurst. You can get bratwurst (especially in Wisconsin), but it’s tough to find a good currywurst.

  6068. I broke my right wrist playing football my junior year of high school. Like you, I am right handed. I had to learn to do my homework left handed. While doing and undoing my jeans (button and zipper) was difficult, the thing that was hardest to do was using toilet paper! Good luck!

  6069. i was born and raised in Cincinnati but lived in Bonn for a year so I have experienced some of the things you're talking about. They're not really better or worse, just different.

  6070. Easy German videos is a good idea to follow where people get questions on the street.

  6071. I'm a teacher. One thing I see that one never saw when I was growing up is young ladies wearing pajamas to school or out to a mall etc. I don't see it a lot but I see it. Sometime they look like they are wearing underwear. This asking for your race on everything is obnoxious and boring. I have always disliked it. They ask it when it does not matter or is not relevant. We are race obsessed in this country. Your point that it creates race consciousness is correct. Nice video.

  6084. Your channel is so awesome! I have lived in Hessen and Rheinland-Pfalz areas for about 16 years growing up. It's great you are spending the time to share and explain your, and German's, views. I do miss the village culture and how welcomed I was in new communities. As we say in my second home, Glück Auf!

  6085. Literally within the past week I was thinking Feli should do a video on this topic, because the pop/coke border runs within about 20 miles of Downtown Cincinnati (not to mention Ben being from the other side of that border).

  6086. Hi, great video. I'm American but I completely agree with you on the bread and pastries. I'll come out and say it, American bread is terrible. You mentioned people say if you look you can find it I don't think that's true. Even in specialty bakeries bread doesn't come close; I don't know why. As far as cookies go I think in the US our soft cookies are the best. I love Mrs. Fields white chocolate macadamia nut right out of the oven even if it is a chain store cookie. Our hard cookies tend to be hard all the way through, not hard on the outside with a bit of soft in the middle. I'll give it to Germany on this one. For those kinds of cookies you can find good ones in italian bakeries and German ones as well. You have to be careful though if they are Americanized with double the sugar. Anyway, fun video, thanks!

  6100. Gelato texture is better, but the main thing missing in Germany is peanut butter flavor. Hazelnut Eis is a decent substitute, but still not the same. I've recently been able to find some "Erdnusse Eis" in Munich but it seems only because I got lucky a few days because when I go back it's not there anymore. Really hoping this will catch on more soon!
    1
  6101. Great content!!! My wife and I love your videos. The one I laugh at when over there is "hilarious." My friend in Vienna recently told me that they left the ski area early because if wasn't too hilarious. I also enjoy the way German speakers use "make" for everything. "You make a concert" or "You make a picture." BUT!!! My German is poor, so when I am trying to communicate over there it is handy that "machen" works for just about anything. We are currently in the Houston area under quarantine because we just got back from Munich. It was beautiful, the food was great, and we had the place to ourselves. Thank you for helping us get through being stuck at home.

  6131. Really enjoy your videos. You present on video very well. I used to watch Kelly but now find you much "warmer". Thanks for your insights! I can't believe how well you have mastered the American English language. Hope you make the US your home.

  6164. I grew up with an electric stove growing up in Arizona. My in-laws in Ohio have gas and that was a learning curve to use it. I love induction by the way. My friends just remodeled their kitchen and have the appliances part of the cabinets which I like. However, then I would have to give up my Bosch appliances....and I love them.

  6169. Love your videos! Most children are not allowed to use anything but pencil in school. Once in high school, that changes usually. However, you wouldn't see elementary children using pens. I was very surprised at the differences in the writing of numbers and letters. Very I interesting esp how Germans write the number 9. I've never had anyone answer a landline other than "Hello". Like you, I saw this in movies but never heard it myself. I agree that most Americans wear shoes in the house. We have a strict no shoes policy in our house..even any repairmen or service technicians have to remove shoes. I agree with how Americans end their phone conversations. It's just a quick bye and that's it. We def sleep with our blankets tucked in.

  6176. Hey, mispronouncing Regisseur as Ressigeur is something people do here in Sweden too! Only, in Swedish the word would be Regissör, mispronounced as Ressigör. We borrowed the French word, too. And apparently it doesn't sit well in Swedish mouths, as a lot of us keep switching the letters around. Interesting to hear that Germans do the same! Semmel was kind of fun to hear, there is a similar type of bread called a Semla here in Sweden. Basically a bread roll that you hollow out, fill with almond paste (basically marzipan, but coarser and with egg added), and top it off with whipped cream. And then either eat it as is, or put it in a soup bowl and pour boiling hot milk over it. And eat it with a spoon while it gets all wet and soggy. A Köttsemla is another version of that. Fleisch Semmel? Well, Köttsemla is not really a real word, it's a nickname for a hamburger. Not everyone might understand what you mean. :-)

  6177. Great video. When I have been in Europe, I was often confronted by Europeans who spouted criticisms of Americans that were pure stereotypes. They had never been here but they thought they knew all about the United States and it's citizens. Hopefully your videos are clearing up some misnomers and wrong assumptions about us. Your English is awesome. You sound American.

I never really understood how similar the British were to Germany and the US. This video is amazing and sheds light on the small differences that can have, well, a difference. It's made me aware to try and think more widely than I already do.

Mir war allerdings neu, dass es die amerikanische Version von Eis ist. 😅 Ich dachte auch, dass es einfach typisch Ben & Jerry ist. Das weiche Eis mag ich nicht besonders, weil ich das Gefühl auf der Zunge sehr unangenehm finde wenn das Eis schon fast flüssig ist wenn man es isst. Deine Videos finde ich im übrigen sehr unterhaltsam und interessant. 👍🏻👍🏾👍🏿

  6197. I posted a comment yesterday on an International facebook group for people in Munich, I'll copy it below: Just for reference, people in Germany especially in big cities like Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Berlin, Köln don't usually buy a house their whole life. They rent till death and the cycle goes on. With property prices right now in these big cities even surrounding areas such as Freising (500-600k for a flat for 4) and Mühldorf (300-400k) are beyond the reach of the vast majority of residents. I don't think owning a house is necessary for financial stability especially given people change jobs so frequently these days to increase their salary, which sometimes requires relocation. So unless you can work remotely (somewhat long-term ) then it might not make sense to settle down in one place if you are looking to maximize your salary income. Also, when you make the mortgage payments, a big chunk of that is interest which is money down the drain sort of like rent. So unless your interest payment is significantly lower than the rent, it's not that much of a difference. Also, realistically, not everyone can buy a house anymore in these big German cities. Every year the population will increase because of skilled workers migrating and the space will runout, so suburbs like Freising and Mühldorf will eventually become urban centers. Unless the government actually builds the subsidized housing it promised it's not going to end up well for the majority of people renting.

  6199. When I visit the German wife's family, the door thing always gets to me. And they also have the light switch outside the bathroom, always trips me up. Now usually when I go it's cooler part of the year, and it always surprises me how much they open the windows (the American in me freaks out how much heat they're wasting). Part is that they love fresh air, but also those radiators work pretty well, so it's not a big deal to open a window and let in some cooler air. In fact usually the bathroom window is open, and when you need to shower you go in and close it (and usually it doesn't take too much to warm back up). I will never get over how small their kitchens are, as mentioned tiny fridges, one small sink, often just two burners. And her mom would always start freezing ice cubes for me ahead of time because I go through so much ice, and I couldn't live here without my fridge ice-maker. As an American, I like my drinks cold, which they hardly ever put in the fridge. Though to be honest, they leave them outside as it's usually pretty cool. The compartmentalized rooms does take a little getting used to, even when she lived in an apartment there was this random room which was their living room, and that felt so odd to me. But I do like it when I go there and I can just shut the door and not feel like I'm disturbing anyone late at night watching TV. We don't like how our house, like most US homes these days, has basically a wall for a kitchen, open to the living room. Oh, and we're dying to change out our windows here, US windows suck, especially builder grade, and she wants windows like in Germany, not only for the different states (i.e. tilt open from the top), but also that makes them so much easier to clean the outside. You just have to tilt then in, or open them in, etc., while in the US you usually have to be outside to clean that side, which can be near impossible for the second floor. Maybe a future installment can be about TV. For instance at one point (not sure about now), you basically were renting your TV? Or something to that effect where you had to pay another fee upfront. But I think often they will get some shows and stations on a different, more comprehensive TV plan. Like I have a feeling her dad pays a lot less and gets sports from all over, HBO, I know their Netflix would have some content that we don't get because (at the time) they didn't have Disney+ or that DC streaming channel, so their Netflix would still have Disney as well as DC content. Though I also remember, at least years ago, there was a channel that late at night, it would just air...adult content. That surprised me that I wasn't paying attention and next thing you know...oh my.

  6205. Another spot-on comparison Feli. I almost always said goodbye to my German friends or co-workers with a Cheers, Mox gut or bis morgan with the goodbye. One thing I do remember was the number 0 in the US it is just that but in Germany, I remember having a / through the number. I do like my sheets tucked in but I do miss the goose down comforters. Not much use for them down here in Tampa Florida but in Ohio, they would be great to have for the winter. Look forward to your next comparison video. Auf Wiedersehen bis zum nachsten video

  6214. Ms. Felicia, I have just found your channel and find it quite entertaining. I have a few questions that hopefully will provide you with contents in the future. 1) As I am a deaf individual, I am curious as to whether Germany takes good care of their citizens with disabilities. Obviously I am not implying that a German would stone them or anything absurd. What I mean is there closed caption available on all shows, are there laws requiring doors to be large enough for wheelchairs, are there beepers for the blind at crosswalks? Are people with Down Syndrome and severe Autism treated politely and helpfully? Does Germany have a good mental health environment where crazy people are medically treated and not simply thrown out in the streets like here in the United States? 2) I believe Germany has a reputation of quality products, but I haven't seen anything about infrastructure in Germany. Are the roads well kept, are the bridges safe and new, is there a good public transportation system, etc.? 3) My understanding is that Germany has a medical system that is very easy to use and cheap. However, I don't know if it is excellent. As someone who has been here long enough to perhaps experience the U.S. system, do you prefer the U.S. doctors or the German doctors? 4) You appear to have moved to the United States right after graduating from University, so I am not sure if you have any work experience in Germany. But if you did work there, what is your opinion of the work world in the United States as opposed to in Germany. Are the American lazy and fooling around, or is Germany more relaxed? 5) In this episode you claim American are too polite and non-confrontational. I must ask are you specifically ignoring the way people here treat the service industry and strangers out in public? Because I am absolutely appalled at the lack of manner here in the United States and wish I could drug everyone into being a better person. So I can't comprehend your comments in this video on this subject. 6) And last, I look forward to your video specifically on education in Germany. I am baffled by the different schools, and must ask how that works. Does a teacher decide the student is dumb and they have to go to the lowest school? It seems absurd, but you already said school is free (paid by taxes), so how else do you separate who goes where? Also, what do they teach in the school and what is not supplied by the school itself (sports, theater, Home Economic, etc.)? Thank you for the content you've provided the world. So much more wholesome and positive than the majority of influencer contents that flood Youtube. I hope you'll continue to post as frequently as you have recently, during this unfortunate isolation period. Keep safe, even young people like you are at risk.

  6224. Thanks. this was fun. I'd like to see your 2nd half of the story. As for a few comments .. I grew up 30 years ago in Northern Mn in USA. We had a strong European influence, so much of what you said about manners and walking, talking with others applied for greeting and saying goodbye. I now live in the American south .. and I find the talk talk talk .. and now quick ok bye rude as well. . :) Printing was encouraged till grade 3 then cursive was expected on all assignments and penman ship was graded. There actually was a girl's style, woman's style and men's style at the time. I was a little surprised. I hear that is gone now. Nib pens were discouraged because they were messy and could run out of ink at inopportune times.

  6233.  @FelifromGermany  By the way, thanks for the videos, they really have helped me learn about some aspects of German culture without having to run into it the hard way. Helpful, because at the Country Bar I go to there is a group of German Au Pair's with whom I am well acquainted, and dance with. Unfortunately I am probably not going to see my primary dance partner before she goes back to Germany with the Social Distancing going on, and her going back mid April.

Also I'm 80 years old now and I had a Grimm's Fairytales book as a child, but it was the cleaned up version without the really horrific stuff. I think Mother Goose was just as bad if you learn the back story behind the tales. Good vlog...I really enjoyed your story telling, thank you.

Maybe he has, I'll have to check that out. Out of all 10 reasons I think only the tax one would keep me from moving to Germany. HIs number 1 reason to not live in Germany, what a joke. I'd be willing to bet there are more Neo Nazis in the US than there are in Germany.

  6254. I did training for a job a few years ago and the dude that was training us was Egyptian. I always remember if someone ever asked a question like say "Does this thing have to be done this way all the time" he'd sometimes respond to the question with what was supposed to be "not necessarily". The problem was that he was saying "not necessary". It took me a few days into the training before i figured out the mistake he was making. While "Not necessarily" and "Not necessary" may look the same they mean two totally different things. If you don't know the difference you probably shouldn't be in a situation where you're training people and they're asking a lot of questions about the job they are about to do.

  6257. #askagerman Discovered you about a month ago. The best Foreign Person in America channel I have seen. Love it. Question - Now that you have lived here for several years, have any of your mannerisms changed in such a way that when you go back to Germany, your friends and family tease you about becoming Americanized? Or that fellow Germans even find slightly annoying? As an example: Do you find yourself, at least initially, trying to engage Germans in Americanized happy small talk, like a typical American? Or any other mannerism, good or bad, that they tease you about or comment on? Thank-you! (P.S. Now that I think about it, your very upbeat personality seems more typically American than German. Do fellow Germans comment on that?)

You watching and reacting and then rewatching and commenting was also refreshing and much cleaner than how many others do it. (Ps.: Always weird to comment in English as a German to a German :), but this way others understand it aswell.)

I'm not that a fan of Disney World (or Land) and I even never remember which is which and where! For me New Orleans was more interesting than a visit of Disney World in the nearer Orlando back in 1987!

  6283. The U.S already pays the most per person on healthcare than any other country on Earth. In fact, when you consider government insurance funding, medicare, Medicaid, the U.S actually spends almost 2x more on healthcare than the military. There is no excuse for it. It's just corporate greed influencing politicians to keep a profitable system. Also, as a Navy veteran I can assure you now the military wastes more of our budget than adopting a free healthcare system ever would.

  6299. As an aussie we say 90 % of those words correctly. Maybe its how we were taught english (the correct way) i.e Aldi .. not pronounced all but Al like Alan. Adidas never pronounced with a dee sound always a did sound, i assume that comes from our love of soccer and their associated ads. Schwarzkopf i pronounced the english version which is wrong, BMW and mercedes i got wrong but then again I do call one a merc n the other a beamer (bmw) lol. Everything else is standard Australian.

  6300. I buy advent calendars every year for my son, he loves them. A lot of American Christmas traditions come from German immigrants. Most people dont know that there were a lot of German immigrants came to the US at different times in history. I have never heard of the Christmas pickle. I ALWAYS have a real tree at my house. Great videos, keep up the work.

  6302. Just as much as Germans can't properly pronounce 'squirrel' (aka skwiwwel or else), English-speakers can't pronounce the German word for it - Eichhörnchen. Ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit 🙂Danke, Feli, für Deine Videos, ich folge Dir schon lange. Als Deutscher, der über ein Jahrzehnt in UK gelebt hat weiss ich, dass Reisen (im Sinne von woanders leben bzw. sich richtig zu integrieren) eine ganz tolle Sache ist die einen nur bereichern kann. Ganz viele Grüße aus Karlsruhe!

  6310. Feli, love your videos. Your English is better than native "English speakers". As a German language lifetime "relearner" I would appreciate it if your would talk to the German language police and tell them to get rid of definite articles (der, die, das) which are superfluous and also to put verbs in sentences where they make sense rather than at the end of sentences. BTW, Of the many cities I have visited in Germany, Munich is my favorite (and I'm a non-drinker) Go figure!

  6311. Thank you. I love hearing about German culture and your experiences with ours. By the way, don't feel bad about teaching the kids how a German writes since you're teaching them German.

  6318. French-German girl here 🙋🏼‍♀️. In France, we speak of "la mâchoire", Kiefer in German and we say someone has "une mâchoire carré", a square jaw or jawline, and that's kind of a topic. Girls would often say they like men with a square jaw. I also heard about the exercices you mentioned in the video but i didn't know it was called jawline in english. And i totally agree in Germany this isn't a thing.

  6321. I really liked your video. I knew of the brothers Grimm version of Disney movies and other stories from them. I know they are dark, but were telling a story of substance. The princess stories though seem really messed up. Is it because Germany is known for being the Fatherland, but at the same time trying to equal it out with Mother nature? I will have to say I am biased towards the Disney versions, especially Once Upon a Time. It allowed the "evil queen" to tell her side of the story and ultimately redeemed herself, because people are not black and white, but shades of gray.

  6323. Love your videos Felicia, here's a serious question for you; are you not sick and tired of questions and all the rest about Nazi history? Many in the west still remain obsessed with it I think. I admit it's truly a fascinating and indeed scary history. But if I were in your shoes I'd be sick & tired of it by now. FWIW know you don't have to answer for those people who did whatever. You're a lovely and awesome young woman. Keep doing your thing. :) One other question is, without wading into the politics of it, what are your thoughts about the latest goings-on in the EU relative to your homeland? Seems everyone during this pandemic is hunkering down and nationalizing again? I wonder if the EU can survive it. -- Stay safe!

  6328. Super Video und toll wie du diese falschen Aussagen alle in die Mangel genommen hast. Ich dachte auch erst omg das klingt schon fast nach US Propaganda gegen Deutschland, wie deren Flüchtlingspolitik, welche er nachgeplappert hat.

  6329. You both are so cute! So I'm a 60 year old German- American who grew up bilingual my in the US and has lived most.of his life in Germany....I sadly had to admit knowing more of the German expressions than Montana's English ones...;new to me were all of them, except maybe low key, although its usage has changed. And Feli's German expressions, I knew all of them.

  6330. I like how you counter your super-serious topic (drug abuse in the US) with a fun topic like this. Like you guys I go to Aldi (or as we say in Kentucky "Aldi's" 😀) for the basics and Kroger for what I can't find at Aldi. What threw me about the first time I went to Aldi was it was configured like a maze. You have to pass by all items whether you want them or not. At a US supermarket you can skip the aisles of items you don't need. BTW you and Ben grocery shopping together? My gosh, you might as well be married! 😜

  6352. I grew up in Austria and my parents definitely never showed me the Disney versions of all these fairy tales. I had a book of Grimm's fairy tales and I don't exactly remember how toned down the versions in it were, but I don't think it was the actual cruel original ones. I do remember though that at some point I was told the same version of Snow White and Cinderella as you were, and I was very very young. I never knew the version of Sleeping Beauty with the rape, though, you are right, this is probably too messed up even for German/Austrian parents to read to their kids.

  6358. Yeah I think you could make a Patron page. I might support you with a small amount in the future as I do with others, but most likely not before next year. No, I wouldn't buy merch. I've never done this as I'm alien to the concept. I don't understand the need for this. I buy a brand only if it has the best cost efficiency for my needs and I don't really dislike the brand. If I like someone's work I directly support him/her/it. Congraz to your channel growth! 🎊

  6365. What horrifies me about American bedding habits is the thought of having to share a blanket/comforter with my sleeping partner. I change the extent of how much of my body is covered with my blanket several times per night, depending on how cold/hot I feel. I might want to stick a leg out. Being cemented under a shared duvet would make me feel very confined. And btw, at least here in Austria the common pillow size is 70 x 90 cm, and not square. Great and interesting video!

  6366. One of my close friends in high school was obsessed with jawlines! So funny, I haven't thought about it much since then, but it definitely is a thing here in the US. Wouldn't have thought other countries thought about it less.

  6378. Schön das es wieder ein Video von dir gibt. Bei all dem was derzeit so passiert ist es vollkommen verständlich und nachvollziehbar das dir nicht danach war irgendwelche Videos zu machen, manchmal gibt es Dinge die vielleicht in dem Moment wichtiger sind oder einem falsch vorkommen. Solange Du es mit dir guten Gewissens vereinbaren kannst ist alles okay. Du bist eine ganz tolle Frau mit dem Herz am rechten Fleck die sich ihre Gedanken macht. Die Dinge die derzeit passieren sind wichtig und richtig, sie sind notwendig für die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft und zwar auf der ganzen Welt. Wir können nun entscheiden wie wir zukünftig weiterleben wollen und zwar alle und nicht sortiert nach Privilegien. Zu den Märchen. Die original deutschen Geschichten sind wohl etwas zu heftig und brutal für Kinder wenn Du es als Zeichentrickfilm darstellen möchtest, nach den ersten Vorstellungen dürfte es wohl Proteste der Eltern geben und das wäre dann eher kontraproduktiv für das Geschäft. Ich habe noch alte Bücher mit den gesammelten Werken der Gebrüder Grimm die waren sehr gut geschrieben, auch die Zeichnungen waren immer sehr schön, man sah das sich da jemand echte Gedanken gemacht hatte. Zuerst haben meine Eltern mir die Vorgelesen und später haben wir sie zusammen gelesen. Meine Eltern haben sie mir dann immer erklärt. Mein Lieblings Märchen war immer. Der Teufel mit den drei goldenen Haaren, König Drosselbart ein Märchen eigentlich wie geschaffen für Disney und Von einem der auszog das Fürchten zu lernen. Sorry für den langen Text, aber manchmal ist das so. Liebe Grüße nach Cincinnati. Bleib gesund 🍀🌹👏👍✌️🙂🍻

  6383. First, your videos are awesome and I enjoy watching them. Now crime is everywhere and the stats are all over the place. I live in Toledo,Ohio north of you. Crime is about the same. Weather is about the same from Cincinnati or Ohio to Germany. It's winter, it's gonna be cold DUH! I think this guy just needed content to make a video. His video won't stop me from visiting Munich. It's on my list IF I would travel Europe. My German heritage lived just outside Munich, as why on my list. I hope family and friends are safe and in good health.

  6386. Hallo, Feli! Carnival and Mardi Gras are very similar in what they are all about. Mardi Gras, I guess you could say, is more of the secular side of things. A tamer version of Carnival in Brazil. Topless women in both, but Brazilians know better than to ogle at them and throw beads.

  6389. Excellent! Don't know who that person is, but maybe he watched too many episodes of Tatort and Soko Wismar! :-) I agree about taxes, but you are correct, Germans get a lot more for their tax dollar (Euro) than we do here, in my opinion. The other negative is the weather, but more because it is grey and overcast and raining a lot, rather than being cold. This why Germans migrate south during Urlaub months. When it is cold it can be bone chilling because of the humidity, but that is compared with the dry Rocky Mountain region where I live. And because of the humidity, during those short hot periods in the summer, lack air condition can be brutal. When you open the windows at night to let the cool night air in, you also let in unwanted guests, such as mosquitos, because normally there are no screens. I should point out that German homes are almost always heated with hydronic heating (radiators) so there are no ducts for central air. Its more complicated to install air conditions in an existing home. Stores and autos usually have air conditioning today. I have asthma and allergies and July to September for me in Germany is a nightmare (mold spores in the air), but it would also be the same or worse for me in most of eastern United States. I prefer to be west of the continental divide. In every other way living in Germany is Ausgeseichnet! Keep up the excellent work, German Girl! And thank you!

  6393. Hitler's "National Socialism" was a socialist movement as much as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" is a democratic and republican movement. Instead of arguing about the name, which can be misleading, let's examine the actions of our "Mustache Man." The Nazi regime was quite suppressive of left-wing opponents, pro-industrialist, and its ideology was rooted in far-right, fascist principles. The only aspects that are socialist about the Nazis are that they promoted certain social welfare programs and public works projects, but solely to consolidate power and ensure loyalty rather than achieving social equality. I don't understand the argument that the establishment parties are quite suppressive of free speech in Germany. Last time I checked the news, the AfD was fairly represented during elections, despite their claims to the contrary. What is true is that other parties are not cooperating and are often massively critical of the AfD, which actually helps the AfD by allowing them to position themselves as outsiders/ victims. What I find astonishing about AfD voters I have encountered so far is that most of them have never read the party program and don't fully understand what it stands for. Often, they support policies that are against their own interests. But as you pointed out correctly, they don't really care about the other issues because the only political topic they care about is illegal immigration. And by the way, it is not true that there is unity among the major parties regarding energy policy. Quite the opposite. However, I get what you mean. I have encountered many politically uninterested or uneducated people who view things that way because it is simply the easiest position to take. Otherwise, they would have to dive deep into the matter, and who has time for that? Sorry for the long reply, but I simply wanted to add context.

  6400. I appreciated this more in-depth and nuanced exploration of a complex topic. When you first started making videos and advocated for a race-blind approach it seemed naive in light of America's history. I was glad to see an acknowledgement of the counter-arguments to that approach here. Race is a social construct, not a biological one, which is why definitions shift over time. The U.S. Census Bureau had persisted with the "Negro" option through the 2020 census, even though it is increasingly seen as a derogatory term, because that is how many older African Americans self-identify. And with the significant increases in immigrants from the Middle East, in part because of our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 2030 Census will have a new category "Middle Eastern or North African" because people from that region didn't identify as white, black, or Asian. It's also been at the heart of the paradoxes of the American experiment since the beginning. On one hand, the core idea of America, "e pluribus unum", (from many, one) is (in my opinion) perhaps the greatest idea for a country in human history. Likewise the assertion in the Declaration of Independence that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." On the other hand, the nation that resulted from those ideals was built in significant part by slave labor on lands made available for settlement through a centuries-long campaign of genocide against the indigenous peoples who already lived here. We had to fight a civil war to end slavery, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, and only in recent decades have we begun to grapple with the injustices perpetrated against Native Americans and a more serious recognition of our obligations under long-ignored treaties. The relative ease of global migration these days has confronted every developed nation with the question of how to grapple with an increasingly multi-cultural society. But the United States, however imperfectly, has been a multi-cultural society from the beginning. And that has been a key advantage for how pervasive our mass culture and media have become.

  6401. Hallo Felicia, ich möchte Dir ein generelles Kompliment für Deinen Kanal machen. Als USA-Fan habe ich schon viele gute Videos über das Thema gesehen und abboniere einige einschlägige Kanäle und Deiner ist auf jeden in den Top 3! Deine Sprache ist sehr klar und die Untertitel sind hilfreich. Deine Themen sind vielfältig und unterhaltsam und Du wirkst sehr sympathisch! :-) Auch DSCHOSH! ;-) hat mich beeindruckt! Ich kenne übrigens Cincinnati ein wenig, da ich 2018 für zwei Monate in der Nähe (Mason) für eine Deutsche Firma arbeitete. Mach bitte weiter so und ich freue mich auf die nächsten Videos. LG Markus

  6405. Erst einmal herzlichen Glückwunsch Feli! Das hast du wirklich verdient. Ich schaue deine Videos sehr gerne! Falls du noch Ideen für zukünftige Videos brauchst, greif doch mal das Thema Religion auf: Erkläre doch bitte mal die christliche Religion in Amerika. Ich blick da nicht durch, denn es gibt da so viele verschiedene christliche Kirchen. Was hat es damit auf sich? Gibt es inhaltliche Unterschiede? Gibt es überhaupt evangelisch und katholisch in den USA? Gehen wirklich so viele US-Amerikaner sonntags in die Kirche? Gibt es in keinem Staat Religion- oder Ethikunterricht? ... Viele Grüße aus München!🥨🍻

  6416. Congratulations, Feli! Your reluctance to quickly "cash in" and monetize your channel says a lot of good things about your character. But I think that if a lot of your viewers say they want to help support you financially or buy merch with your "brand" on it, that will be a "critical mass" indicating you should do it. Also, it would be a fair trade, in exchange for the quality entertainment and education (informativeness?) your videos provide. (I say "quality" because your performances, as well as video and audio editing, really are excellent.) I myself would love to buy a "German Girl in America"-imprinted beer stein. (Please make sure it's packaged well to prevent breakage!) Cheers, Feli!

  6417. #askagerman Hi Feli! :) How pronounced is your dialect? Would love to hear you talking in "Bavarian" :) Just discovered your channel and I love it! Also, I'm absolutely fascinated by languages, dialects and accents. If you ever feel like doing a video about dialects I'd be happy to help. I was born in Austria but Nottingham in the UK is "my Cincinnati" ;) My Austrian dialect is rather pronounced and there are countless words you might have never heard of... might be interesting for English natives to hear how differently it sounds! Let me know if you are interested :)

  6419. I'm one of those drivers that drives exactly at the speed limit. Driving in Germany was hard for me because the trucks in the right lane have to drive 80kph (if I remember correctly) which is slower than the speed limit. The flow of the middle lane is faster than the speed limit and the left lane is ludicrous speed. So yeah, constant lane switching. I loved Germany except when I was driving.

  6420. Vielen Dank, Feli!

  6421. An interesting word choice mistake I've heard native German speakers make is saying "please?" when they don't understand what you said. But that's also a Cincinnati thing, so it won't make you sound out of place here. :)

  6422. I must compliment you on how well you enunciate and your stage presence. You could/should become a TV newscaster. By that I mean - enunciate: to speak with utmost clarity. stage presence: the impressiveness of ones manner.

  6424.  @Antidemonn  No, you really don't. Otherwise, you would not have made your original post in the first place. Learn how the Green Card lottery works. In 2018, there were 7,068,792 applicants from the Europe region, of which only 41,706 were selected. That's a 0.6% chance of getting selected. 49,392 were selected from the Africa region, 15,997 from Asia, 4,995 from Latin America, and 3,863 from Oceana. The overall average success rate is 0.5%.

  6429. So entwickeln sich Sprachen immer wieder ein bisschen, durch die Internationalisierung werden die in Sprachen übernommen, nicht immer bewusst, oftmals haben auch die Medien einen Anteil daran wie sich sowas dann entwickelt. Einige Deutsche Worte klingen dann irgendwann einfach komisch, obwohl sie korrekt sind. Es gibt ja auch einen französischen Einfluss. Österreich verwendet teilweise noch ältere Begriffe aus dem Deutschen.

  6447. I live in France but always go for groceries in Germany (Grenzgänger*innen Privileg 😎) because it's cheaper and I actually always wondered why it was called Aldi Süd here in Baden-Württemberg and if it was called "Aldi Nord" in Northern Germany, and when I went to Berlin I realised that they do, but now i know all yhe backstory so thank you ! (Also funny because I used to live in Essen and I absolutely did not know Aldi was from there, I guess the city of Essen do have ONE achievement that isn't coal related 🤣) Also, France do have Aldi as well but it's only called "Aldi" and there is no north or south added to the name. However, Aldi in France is still more expensive than in Germany, except for the cheese for some reason, and also when I want Breton products I just need to buy it in France, even if the alsacian versions of the Breton products aren't as good as the Breton ones 😂

  6462. About the restrooms: what she said about frequency is mostly true about Western Germany but not Eastern Germany. It's one of the things you definitely notice when travelling/moving there. Paying for public restrooms is a lot more common here. I don't necessarily know why but I think it's a leftover from socialist times with the whole "acknowledging and respecting workers" thing You can still definitely usually go without paying though, as long as you say you're sorry

  6470. very good video and true. i would add that you go to jail when you show Nazi-Symbols. And in Germany no Policeman would kill any person without investigations and without accusation. Also compare people killed in shootings every year US/Germany if you want to know whats the safest place.

  6472. I am new to your channel, only having seen a few videos starting with part 1 of this series. I wholeheartedly agree with you on on race in the US. I think of people being American first or from another country and don't like precursors "African American", "Chinese American", "Mexican American", etc. I believe it causes racial divides in the US and wish it would just stop. Thank you for the video, I love learning more about your homeland and the differences here.

  6480. in quite a lot of those points our traditions here are the same :D /in Bulgaria/ but here basically most families do different things. Ours at least makes Christmas Eve the gift-giving time - and all the days to New Year are some sort of celebrations too - especially as my birthday's on the 26th. Wish we had something like Christmas markets or the Krampus run though. Those sound really fun.

  6511. That was fun. By the way a Beamer could also be a BMW motorcycle here. And, it is rare to see a smoking jacket over here anymore these days, but Hugh Hefner was notorious for wearing one all the time at his mansion. It slightly resembles a dinner jacket, and is worn by men only at home (in rare cases at a club) often with pajamas. A man wealthy enough to need to own a tuxedo, might also own a smoking jacket. James Mason playing Humbert Humbert is seen wearing one in Stanley Kubrick's movie Lolita, at home reading in his chair and Lolita comments on it. Nowadays a smoking jacket is so rare it might need to be custom made. My interest in German language and culture was recently stimulated by watching what I thought was a very interesting television series the Weissensee Saga with English subtitles. Sadly the television network that was showing that has been removed from my lineup. They also had a couple of very good French series with English subtitles: A French Village set during and after WWII, and the delightful, contemporary Capitain Marleau. Please keep posting. Your videos are charming. Also, many years ago I had a friend Walter, who was Dutch/Austrian and he taught me some German in the bar at night: Die Hand, Der Arm, ein Glass Beer, oh and, der Ashenbecker (not sure about the spelling there) I could go on but I shouldn't.

  6518. Good video. I enjoy seeing and talking with people from other countries. I have some responses to some experiences in your video. One thing to note is that Germany has about 83,000,000 people with the majority coming from a similar ethnic and cultural background. The contrast is that the USA has close to 340,000,000 people with every ethnic and cultural background and we add about three quarters of a million new citizens every year -- also from almost every ethnic and cultural background. People with similar ethnic & cultural backgrounds tend to settle in similar areas of the USA. That tendency is not unique to the USA, it's a natural human tendency. Regarding the "excessive" use of plastic bags . . . here, in California, many cities & towns have prohibited or limited the use of plastic bags by merchants. We still use them but most people shop with woven shopping bags. However, I have discovered that many of the currently used shopping bags seem to be made from recycled plastic. Go figure. There are also many plastic bags made from bio-degradable plastic. Indeed, even the non-biodegradable plastic bags will disintegrate when left in the sun for a few weeks. Everything is degradable under the proper conditions.

  6519. If you want to go down a rabbit hole (I'm sure there's a German equivalent of that, too 😃) in British English something "vanilla" might be referred to as "bog standard" - many keyboards must have been worn out by people arguing online about the origins of that one!

  6521. I am an American who lived in Dresden, Germany for 13 years. My take on the Brigg's video was that it was very mean-spirited .(Of course, he did use the word "roast" in his introduction, which is intentionally playing up the "negative" aspects of a person or place for entertainment purposes.) I think the reason he selected the neo-nazi issue as number one was because it is the most reprehensible of the ten reasons--not necessarily that it is the most prominent reason. And while I agree that it is the most reprehensible of the ten reasons, I can say that in nearly 13 years living in Germany (1998 - 2010), I personally saw only one instance of outright anti-immigrant abuse--a drunk older (possibly homeless) man was harassing a couple of young female tourists (possibly from Japan), telling them they should stay home and get of Germany. [His German was very slurred and hard to understand, but I got the gist.] I said nothing, but I walked in front of him and just stood there; first looking at him, then turned back to continue waiting for the tram to arrive. Fortunately, that was enough to get him to shut up, and the girls quickly walked away.] Just a short postscript. Upon arriving back home in Louisiana in 2010, I was trying to find some German beer, so I went to the local drive-in liquor store (shaking head in embarrassment). The person in line before me had a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, and on his flabby bicep was a swastika. Outside of documentaries or movies, it was the first time I saw a swastika in real life. After living in Germany for 13 years, I returned to small-town Louisiana and saw my first non-historical swastika. The implication, of course, is that Brigg's logic for his number one reason not to live in Germany would be exactly as applicable to any video he might make called 10 Reasons Not to Live in the USA. If he has or will make that video, and doesn't list this as his number one reason--then Brick would only demonstrate a serious lack of credibility, judgement, and class. Felicia, your not so subtle eye roll and parody of his ending words "Be kind of each other." was a perfect reaction. The Brigg's video was obviously done with a very mean-spirited mindset, attempting to be funny while displaying an ignorance so great that he had no idea how offensive and uninformed he was being, or who he was hurting. Your grace and calm delivery of "real" research to counter his misuse of data lent a beautiful sense of credibility to your video. Your open acknowledgement of the truth of some his statements demonstrated your willingness to approach your work with a critical thinking approach. And finally, your graciousness in the midst of such (perhaps unintentional) vitriol was top class! Outstanding video. Wonderful job as a content provider and -- just as a good human being! I wish content like this was more readily available when i was living overseas. There are numerous channels that follow in the same vein of yours from all over the world, but of all of them I have seen, your channel is consistently the most informative, insightful, and entertaining. I just wanted to take the time to say congratulations. Well, well done!

  6532. Congratulations on 50,000 subscribers! I have been enjoying your videos so far, and you have been doing an awesome job! A Q&A video is always a great idea especially since you have earned a lot of newer subscribers. I should probably do one for my own channel while I think about it as it's been a while, lol! I love the idea of checking out German heritage in the United States. Once we are all able to travel again, I would highly recommend checking out a city in Michigan called Frankenmuth (it is about an hour or so north of Detroit). It was founded by Germans in the 19th Century, and it has a Bavarian-theme to it (one of the restaurants is called the Bavarian Inn). A cool video idea would be to check it out (if you do go up there) and compare it to Bavaria to see if it is close to Bavaria or if it is more gimmicky. I go to Frankenmuth once or twice a year, and it is really awesome! Keep up the great work!

  6543. So I'm an American and I like to write out my own list of all my thoughts on it when I see videos like this so here it is: -i agree - my 4 is the American one but a lot messier I guess, but most of my friends write it the German way - I don't write a line through the middle, but most of my friends do - yep - I don't write a line through the middle, but a few of my friends do - I write it the American way, but I see the German way pretty often - my handwriting has elements of American cursive in it even tho I only learned it for a year. They were teaching it in 3rd grade and my 2nd grade teacher decided to teach us just so we'd have extra practice before we got there but then we moved to 3rd grade and they started teaching it in 2nd that year. So people in my grade that weren't in my class never learned - most classes I'm in (I'm in high school currently) require pencils. I think it's so you can erase, and when we occasionally do Scantron tests (which we're not doing a lot of anymore; I only have one teacher who still uses them), the machine only processes a #2 pencil. Most teachers allow me to use pens when taking notes, but classwork is in pencil, some teachers are more lenient than others about this - those pencil sharpeners are pretty much gone now, though they are still around. My last house actually had one in it lol which was pretty cool - I try to wrap up the combo but everything else I agree with - I just hate phone calls so I generally avoid them so honestly no idea - I hate tucking in the sheets, it makes me feel trapped. Also, when we 'tuck-in' a kid it's more of a saying goodnight while pulling the blanket over them thing, not necessarily actually tucking in the sheets - I've seen both beds here, I've seen the duvet and the sheets and comforter here, double mattress I've never seen - I take my shoes off while inside, but I go barefoot, I hate wearing slippers. I just feel more comfortable that way, I don't really care about the cleanliness (unless it's raining or you have mud all over your shoes- then you absolutely must take the shoes off- otherwise I don't care) Wow that was long

  6555. This is a very straightforward, educational, high quality video. Growing up around Cincinnati, it's surprising to realize how many little bits of Christmas tradition here seem to be influenced by German ones. The idea of candles in trees, which died out here ages ago, still sounds crazy. We're always told that Christmas trees burn very easily. One year my father decided to test this out in the driveway after Christmas. The needles on the tree burst into flame almost instantly and were gone in about 30 seconds. There are normally a pair of weekend Christkindlmarkts in November in Cincinnati (one of the two was cancelled this year due to construction on Fountain Square). Other than being wayyyy shorter, I wonder how they feel compared to German ones.

  6571. Wow! Die Geschichte von Lidl kannte ich noch garnicht, danke für die Info! (Übrigens spreche ich Lidl auch mit einem kurzen "i". Das habe ich von meiner Mutter und meiner Oma so übernommen und ich glaube, viele im Norden sprechen das auch so aus.)

  6575. Just stumbled into your channel. Kinda fun seeing some of these things. Also refreshing to hear you say Ich. You pronounce it the way I learned it in high school. My kids also took German and they learned to pronounce it Ish.

  6589. I would like to see a part 2 to this. =) Also, the pencil sharpeners aren't always attached to the wall (sometime a shelf or something). In the United States during grade school, especially 6th grade through 12th grade, exams are often taken with multiple choice scan-tron sheets. The answers bubbled in on the scan tron sheets can only be read by the machine if they are bubbled in by pencil. =)

  6601. I didn't know most of the English ones, and "Spezi" was new for me as well. In Switzerland "pennen" has a bit of a negative touch, like someone is lazy or a slob, and if someone is "ein Penner" he may be homeless or at least come across like one.

  6603. Hey, I really enjoy your videos! Hopefully this isn't too personal, but growing up in Munich did you ever get evacuated because of an unexploded bomb from ww2?

  6605. I grew up in Mt. Lookout, Cincinnati and lived there for almost forty years. I now make my permanent home in the Pacific Northwest. I haven't been able to take my eyes off your gas fireplace in the background. My parent's fireplace looked almost exactly like yours. I'll go out on a limb and guess you live in Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, Clifton or Mt. Adams. I'm half German and half Irish ( a potent mix!) Love your videos and keep up the great work!

  6606. Hey, cooles video. Finde es toll, dass du die typischen Klischees berichtigst ☺️ bin selbst Deutsche und ich hasse es, wenn Leute so auf die negativen Vorurteile getrimmt sind. Aber hab noch eine Frage, was mir aufgefallen ist. NDP ist doch schon lange verboten oder?

  6608. A friend of mine wanted to propose to his girlfriend so hired one of those advertisements that said "(Blank) will you marry me." His girlfriend didn't have her glasses and could not see the advertisement.

  6609. I was raised with the German versions as well, being a German born in 1979. I think keeping everything brutal and/or sexual from children is not really beneficial. Certainly there are things inappropriate at some ages and I would never let a five year old watch a splatter movie or anything crazy like that. But in order to mature one must encounter good and bad aspects of life.
    1
  6610. Ground News!!! Thanks Feli! Now i know, where to read my news in future ^^ Greetings from Germany 👋 Ich wünsche einen schönen Tag :P //Edit: Habe das Video nun zuende gesehen. Sehr spannende Themen und hoch interessant! Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass diese Unterschiede so extrem sind. Ich hatte immer den Eindruck, dass die USA einfach nur zwei extreme Lager hat und Deutschland eher in der Mitte zu finden ist. Vielen Dank für das Video!

  6611. Hello Felicia. You got yourself a new fan already. I will watch more of your videos because I have already developed an intimacy with the German language,German vehicles, and German women. XD

  6617. German Girl in America interesting tbf I never created the group chats so I’ve no idea how it works, either way interesting video, just subscribed and excited for more content!

  6618. This was quite enlightening; if the situation had arisen before I watched this video, I easily would have tried to use some of these words, especially "mist." Thank you for saving someone (probably me) from potential embarrassment.
    1
  6619. And yes i think you should profit from your time investment. It will provide you incentive to talk to us more.

  6623. My Grandparents tree always looked like yours (electric lights however) :). My Grandmother baked Christmas cookies and hung them on the tree for us kids :). I enjoyed this, thanks.

  6624. Other than the time of year, this is similar to a trip I have coming up in a couple months, except I'm going Berlin-Prague-Vienna. Sounds like it will be amazing.

  6625. Another spot-on video Felicity. There are differences in on Christmas is celebrated in Bavaria and in Hessen states. Having lived in Augsburg, Giessen, and Frankfurt for many years it was clear to me. As I child I remember having St Nick fill my shoes with the items you listed was a wonderful tradition. I miss the Christmas markets in Germany and the Gluhwein. The Gluhwein also reminds me of RosenMontag and the parades in Cologne and Mainz. If you have not done a video on that day and tradition I think people would find it interesting. Just from this American's perspective, Weihnactsstollen is not a fruit cake I am accustomed to. Weihnachtsstollen is mush tastier and I would not regift it the following year! Hope you enjoyed the holidays with your family.

  6628. Wow, I really enjoyed your presentation, very precise and informative! My buddy and I did visit Oktoberfest 2019 and really enjoyed the time there. We both bought real "leaderhosen" and enjoyed the party of the lifetime to say the least! I wished that I saw this video ahead of our visit there. I really love Germany and I do visit my graduate school buddy, Joern, in Hannover once every 2-3 years for the last 20 years! We drove rented 2018 Porsche 911 from Munich to Stuttgart on Autobahn to enjoy Cannstatter Volksfest as well. Anyway, now I just moved to Columbus, OH, a few months ago, I did have a chance to enjoy mini Oktoberfest at Hofbrauhaus here, remembering all the good times we had in Germany. Anyway, if you are still in Cincinnati, let's get together at Hofbrauhaus there for some beers! I'm buying! I will drive up there with my 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera (in Lava Orange, lol!).

  6635. Hallo ihr Beiden!! Eure Chemie vor der Kamera ist wirklich gut, man merkt ihr versteht euch, ihr solltet tatsächlich das ein oder andere Video mehr zusammen machen. Einen guten Lehrer/Lehrerin zu haben, gerade wenn man mit einer Sprache beginnt ist sehr wichtig um gerade wenn man noch nicht so sicher ist, die Lust und den Spaß nicht zu verlieren, wenn es jemand ist der mit der jeweiligen Sprache aufgewachsen ist, ist es natürlich ein weiterer Vorteil. Da das gerade in den Schulen nicht immer so gegeben ist, sind Reisen in andere Länder für das Erlernen einer Sprache eine sehr gute Sache. Ihr hattet definitiv sehr viel Spaß miteinander in dem Video und dem Thema. Es ist auch ein sehr spannendes Thema, da Sprache sehr vielseitig ist und sich durch unterschiedliche Einflüsse auch immer wieder verändert. Schön euch so zu sehen. Ein sehr schönes, interessantes Video. Es war sehr kurzweilig. Vielen Dank, bleibt gesund, alles Gute!!🍻🍀🌹❤️

  6639. OMG, I can't believe it all comes back now I'm watching this video. I'm talking about the first part, differences in handwriting numbers. I moved to the US over a decade ago and my first experience filling forms (to open a checking account) was a disaster. Although I'm not German, not even European, the way we grew up learning to write numbers appears to be the same as you guys. When I submitted my forms, they misread many of the numbers and screw things up. From that day, I had to learn how to write so that people here can understand correctly. I made a few subsequent mistakes but now I'm writing like most people do here in the US, LOL

  6649. Es gibt aber auch einige witzige englische Tiernamen, bei denen ich mich immer frage, ob sie von Kindern vergeben worden sind. Mir fallen da spontan "jellyfish" und "starfish" ein. Da könnte man wie Josh auch gerne mal ein paar Deutsche fragen: "Na, was ist wohl ein Geleefisch?" :D

  6651. Thank you for this video. I can't tell you how much I love that you read German peoples comments in German - their native language. I am not German, but found that very respectful, so much so I subscribed.
    1
  6652. It had never occurred to me that we don’t use “for example” as much in English, (at least, here in America). I actually had to pause the video and think about it for a second, because my first inclination was to argue we do use it. I mean, certainly we use it occasionally...But you’re absolutely right - Once I thought about how I would phrase a sentence where I was listing an example, I realized that the most natural word that would come out would be “like.” And then that made me remember an old teacher I had way back in grade school who gave us kids a lecture one day about how much each of us WAY overused the word “like,” (and also fumble words such as “um”), and challenged us to go the whole day without using it, unless it was in its “correct” form, as a verb, (“I like proper grammar!”)... Yeah, that lady was fighting a losing battle 😂 Some of us did genuinely try, though, and it was really difficult. Even when I try to do it now, it’s not easy - I have to slow down my speech and become more aware of each word, and very purposely avoid each “like,” choosing other words/phrases, (“such as,” “for example,” “for instance,” or “in a way”) - it makes me sound like I’m either a really brainy/bookish person, or perhaps foreign. Very interesting! Great job with these videos!

  6653. In the US, pepproni can also mean some little peppers. Brand in English is also a ownership symbol burnt into the flesh of cattle with a hot iron, maybe where the the two words meet ? Many years ago, when my sister was visiting in Germany, I tried to write her a letter, using an old German/English dictionary. I tried to tell her, that her(then) boyfriend Bob was there at our house. It came out as "Your little friend Bob is standing by our window." All the funnier because Bob was around 6'3" and weighed over 200 lbs. (I don't speak metric either.)

  6656. In Hispanic culture you will typically introduce yourself to the entire group ( as in meeting someones family ) with a handshake and greeting each person individually as in meeting each person for the first time. Showing respect to each family member. Upon departure one would say "good bye" individually and a general "good bye" to the group

  6670. I wonder if the two-mattress thing might also come from the older houses and narrow stairs. Having wrestled even a US Full mattress up my ex's late 1800's house stairs, two smaller mattresses would have been a lot easier. Honestly, I don't have much experience with a duvet, but I could consider trying one. I've used the top sheet and blanket combo for my entire life, simply because that is what my parents also grew up with.

  6694. First excellent video!! Interesting tidbit, brides are generally kidnapped 2-3 days before a marriage in Kyrgyzstan! I have been to a few weddings in America that fit what you describe! The most bizarre wedding I am aware of, is a couple getting married in the nude! Did not attend but heard plenty of people talking about it!!

  6700. So schoen gemacht! Ich freue mich dass ich deinen Kanal gefunden habe. Du hast alles erfasst was ein Deustches Weihnachtsfest mit sich bringt. Vielen lieben Dank. Ich lebe schon seit 1975 hier in den USA und habe 2 Toechter mit meinen Mann erzogen, mit vielen Sitten und Gebraeuche besonders zur Advents und Weihnachtszeit. DieToechter sind jetzt fast 40 und 44 Jahre alt und freuen sich jedes Jahr mit ihren eigene deutschen Weihnachtstraditionen zu feiern. Sehr gut gemacht. Jedes Jahr versuche ich meinen Amerkanischen Freunden ein bisschen ueber Advent und Weihnachtstadition und Geschichte zu uebermitteln. Alle sind immer begeistert! Dein Video werde ich zu meiner Facebookseite hochladen. Ich hoffe sehr dass das in Ordnung ist. Wuensche Euch ein Gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest...!

  6711. I think it is a lack of knowledge if a person declaws a cat. Glad to say here in USA it is now much less then before. I live out in the country and our cats will only be indoor. It is much safer for the cat and the birds. Also who wants tics on there cat.

  6729. I too loved the hot/warm soft pretzels. My wife and I craved the light and fluffy pastries for a long time when we moved back to the states. I did like the bread better but my wife liked the soft white bread better. I just think that in the US had so many different nationalities that a lot of products are tried with manufacturers and it is strictly what sells the most. Good bakeries sell more of what you and I like. I have also requested certain breads that they didn’t have but were willing to try baking and selling at least for a while. Most still sell it. I really miss Germany 🇩🇪. I hope to return but until then your channel brings great memories and I am excited to hear how things have changed over the years. Thank You

  6732. You should set up a Patrion. You provide a service to people, even if that service is pure entertainment and you diverse to be paid for that. Don't think of it as donations, because it really isn't a donation. It's a tip, because donations are given out of sympathy. Tips are given for services people think is worth something. Your videos ARE worth something to us.

  6734. OMG you said a bad word! Hehe j/k. Walkability is also affected by how a city or town is laid out, and how that affects one's perception. A lot of suburbs nowadays, you'd be walking on a narrow sidewalk that has the street on one side, and a wall on the other (the other side of which are people's backyards), and it could be like that for well over a mile. It doesn't make for a pleasant walk. A longer walk with interesting, changing scenery is better than a shorter walk where everything always looks the same. My ability to withstand cold temperatures seems to change depending on where I am. When I lived in a place where it snowed, I was good about enduring the cold. Now I'm someplace warmer, and the slightest bit of cold has me scrambling for my jacket. The race thing...yeah, America sucks sometimes. The way billion is used in Germany seems weird. It would make more sense if million and milliarde were switched. But to interrupt the sequence of *illions like that...it doesn't seem logical. A little off-topic, but one weird thing about the use of separators between sets of digits: the way some East Asian languages (like Chinese and Japanese) count, they should be using a comma every four digits when writing Arabic numerals. But they still use a comma every three digits. I don't know why, maybe because it's a borrowed numeral system, and they don't want to cause confusion. Part 3 please!
    1
  6735. To the counting thing, it makes sense, because it goes like this: million, Milliarde, billion, billiarde, trillion, trilliarde.... So it is an ongoing system.

  6746. The problem with "als" and "wie" is also very common in Niedersachen (lower sachsony) because in "Plattdeutsch", which is mostly spoken by elderly people, there is no "als" used with that meaning. In general i think it is very interesting that "Plattdeutsch" originally was also just a very strong german accent, but it even has its own grammer and therefore is considered as an own language!

  6748. Adding to the confusion is that there are two of you in this video. Poison isn't just the meaning of a German false friend, it's also one of the most famous false friends between English and the French "poisson", a few species of which are actually poisonous. There's an English word "firebrand" that isn't used to describe anything about fire, other than possibly referring to someone with a fiery** persona, though historically both syllables of the word referred to fire in some sense. (**Where does that spelling come from? Wouldn't firy or firey make more sense?)

  6769. It's much easier for a German to learn English than it is for an American to learn German! The best way to learn a language is to spend time in that Country. The second best way is to hear the language as often as possible! Watch German TV, switch the movie audio settings to German, hear German songs..... Keep trying Ben! I believe in you! Ich wünsche dir viel Glück und Erfolg beim Lernen 🍀🍀🍀.

  6770. I'm am american and I think gelato is so much better than regular ice cream it has such a nice soft creamy texture and is so much more flavorful....I think most americans prefer regular ice cream just because they are used to it and they are conditioned to think that is what ice cream is and gelato is viewed as kind of something different and kind of a novelty or treat....but i would rather have it than ice cream any day!! So much better!

  6790. I'm an American who only speaks a little bit of German and I couldn't tell any difference in the 'Inglourious Basterds" accents. All that my ears registered was "German". About the only difference I can detect, and not very well, is the difference between pronunciation of "ich" (or mich or so on...). What I was taught is that in Northern Germany it rhymes with "wish" in English, but has more of a throaty quality, something like "ickh" or "ick", in Southern Germany.

  6791. Also dass die Einkommenssteuer bei 42% liegt stimmt nicht ganz, das ist der Höchststeuersatz, mit jedem Euro den man mehr hat , steigt der Prozentuale Steuersatz . Außerdem wenn man unter 9000 Euro Brutto ist, zahlt man keine Einkommenssteuer. Und noch dazu kann man viele Sachen absetzten, mein Vater zum bsp. ,er ist Pastor und kann BonBons, für seine Stimme absetzten oder Lehrer ihre Kosten für ihren Arbeitsplatz zuhause. Und Kirchen zählen als Gemeinnützig, heißt Leute die Spenden können die Spende von den Steuern absetzten und die Kirche zahlt keine Steuern, außer natürlich Umsatzsteuer. Das man Kirchenmitglied seien muss um zu Heiraten, gilt nur für die Evangelische und die Katholische Kirche, bei Freikirchen zahlt man keine Steuern und man muss nicht mitglied in der Kirche sein. Leider dürfen Homosexuelle noch nicht in den Krichen Heiraten, das wäre noch ein negativer Punkt bei den Krichen in Deutschland aus meiner Sicht. Ich finds ziemlich Lustig das der Typ sich anfangs so gegen Flüchtlinge stellt und behauptet sie würden Kriminalität mitbringen, aber dann auf Deutschland zeigen und zusagen das wir ein Problem mit Nazis haben. Wir haben ein Problem mit Nazis das stimmt, aber erstmal Rassistisch zu sein und dann auf andere zuzeigen ist einfach nur Frech. Wir erleben in Europa ein Rechtsruck, vorallem in Polen und Italien, Ungarn.

  6795. Schöne Beobachtungen der Kommunikationskultur verbunden mit Individualismus, hat mich damals auch mehrfach verwirrt. Das setzt sich ja noch weiter fort bei der Frage von Wettbewerbsdenken und persönlicher Bevorteilung, der Durchsetzung des Stärkeren, der natürlichen Haltung zur Verhandlung von Preisen, Verträgen oder Konflikten. In Deutschland gibt es eine viel defensivere Kultur dazu, angelsächsische Kulturen sind da viel aggressiver untereinander. Das sieht man auch an der Unternehmerkultur, daran wie Freundschaften gestaltet werden, oder auch wie gern Leute im Business „Banden bilden“ - wo Deutsche eher versuchen etwas anzubieten und eine gemeinsame Basis des Vertrauens zu bilden, versucht man in USA/UK einander einander Dinge zu verkaufen. Letzteres finde ich zwar nachvollziehbar, ist mir aber fremd. Vertrauen wird in USA/UK irgendwann etwas sehr technisches und track record-basiertes. In Deutschland ist Vertrauen erstmal etwas intuitives, was dann auch geprüft werden kann - was jemand aus USA/UK wiederum als irgendwie anmaßend wahrnehmen wird schätze ich. Kann sein dass in USA/UK so oft und so lange mit der kulturellen Durchmischung nach gemeinsamen Nennern gesucht werden musste, dass man sich eben auch den „Markt“ geeinigt hat, wo man einander verkauft, ein gutes Angebot macht. In Deutschland zwar auch, aber da besteht auch noch ein Bewusstsein für Vertrauen - Du lässt mit dem Kauf einer Dienstleistung oder eines Produkts oder mit einer Kollaboration in Dein Leben, und das wird beschützt. Is ja auch lustig zu beobachten wie das mit der Nähe/Distanz am Arbeitsplatz stattfindet. In Deutschland sehr unterschiedlich von Firma zu Firma, aber eben durchaus möglich lange in einer Firma zu bleiben und ein Leben dort zu haben mit den Kollegen und der Firma selbst. In den USA und UK wird das „vertrauensvolle Verhältnis“ lange nicht so gepflegt, da wird eher per Machtkampf einander ausgebeutet - und wer das Spiel gut kann wählt konservativ. Eine ziemliche Tragödie für einen Gemeinsinn. Soweit meine, wie Du merkst etwas pessimistische, Beobachtung. Ich weiß Deutschland seit meinen Jahren im Ausland umso mehr zu schätzen. Auch jetzt zu Corona-Zeiten nochmal insbesondere. In den USA ist es jetzt eine Lotterie-Frage wie Du das überstehst. in Deutschland ist es auch nicht einfach, aber was hier an Rücksicht und Solidarität eingesetzt hat, das kann ich mir in den USA kaum vorstellen. Die Kultur dort funktioniert dann wieder eher über Angst um was Eigenes. Aber Solidarität unter Nachbarn? In einer Kultur der Übervorteilung nicht so einfach zu machen. Aber ich lerne auch gern dazu und lasse mich überraschen. Und es wäre nicht das erste mal dass die USA die Welt überraschen.

I won a Blue Ribbon at the County Fair, years ago, for my chocolate chip cookies...I am absolutely a fan of soft/chewy cookies...I purposefully engineer my baked goods to be soft, moist and chewy....that also includes bread/pastries...nothing turns me off more than hard cookies or crusty bread(bagels are the worst)...I don't want to have to wrestle with bread or chip a tooth on a piece of concrete cookie...soft bread is pleasing- chewie cookies are delightful- and soft/moist cake is the best.....

  6821. Your videos are great. We have hosted 3 German high school exchange students and will be hopefully getting our 4th later this year. We had the opportunity to go and celebrate our 2nd German exchange daughter's Abi with her and her family last summer. It was really odd to be at the school for Abi ball and all the kids were drinking. Would never happen here. We did learn to play flukey ball with her family which was great, but strange that her younger sister and family were all drinking playing. We had a great time.

Often in movies Italian accent sounds superweird, we don't use 'Signorina' anymore (or at least it's becoming more unsual) and I find more natural do the '3' using the first three fingers of the hand (I have trouble with the 2 here in the UK..I always forget not to do it with the palm towards me 😂😂)

  6830. When I first came to Germany in 1988, I knew German breads were "dark" compared to our American bread, but I didn't know about the texture. So when I sat down for my first German "Abendbrot", I asked myself why they were serving us guests stale bread. Of course, it had been freshly baked that day, but I had no idea! Nowadays I love German breads and "Brötchen"! When my German wife moved to the US with me in 1990, the bread caused her to experience a culture crisis, so we had to drive across town to a German bakery to buy her "real" bread at least once a week. When I was a kid in the US, cookies were always crispy. A cookie store chain called Mrs. Field's started selling chewy cookies as a specialty in the mid 1980s. This unfortunately caught on and has since become more widespread than crispy cookies. And real home made pies have a crispy, flakey crust, not like the doughy crust you get at most supermarket bakeries.

  6836. This is a bribe! I would love it if you would review/react to a Truly Julie YouTube video. Julie is toddler with an Iranian mother and a German father. I believe mom is second generation but dad is definitely a born and raised German. His English might even be better than yours! Just kidding yours is the best but his is pretty good too. Julie's father speaks German to Julie quite a bit. You might be interested in her earlier videos as well, but what I really would like you to review are the recent ones when Julie goes to Germany to visit her grandparents. I have so many questions but I will limit myself to just one. Can you tell from Julie's expressions or reactions in the video if her father's attempts to teach Julie German are working? Also, what would your suggestions be to help him (or any parent) keep the language alive in their child.

  6860. Anti-gender-discrimination laws require (not that ALL schools follow these laws) that girls and boys have to learn everything together. Prior to the Clinton administration (it wasn't Bill Clinton that drafted the legislation, nor did he debate, revise it, vote for it, or pass it - he just signed the law Congress told him to sign - so please don't take that as a shot at Bill) boys and girls were separated for sex-ed classes. Now - technically anyways - that's against the law and can get teachers and administrators fired.

I had the chance with a job offer from Auckland New Zealand in 2017 to work abroad but eventually didn't do it because I didn't want to leave my girlfriend behind. Well now we are married since May 2020 and I am happy I stayed here in Germany. Of course I sometimes think about how my live would have been in NZ but it's alright. You got yourself a new subscriber and a regular viewer. I hope we stumble across one another sometime. I would love to have a little chat with you. Greetings from Schwäbisch Hall.

  6879. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, AC and garbage disposals are not common here. AC is getting more common, but garbage disposals are still not. I've lived in many houses and apartments and only had a garbage disposal in one of them. Also those slide up screens must be a more Eastern US thing. I've never seen them at all. Our screens can be removed (they sort of pop in and out), but they do not slide open at all. I think the only reason the percentage of homes with AC is so high is because of the millions of people who live in large cities and the southwest.

  6880. The good thing is that since you've been on TV, maybe some Directors will actually see this and use it in future movies. :)

  6882. I would disagree with the Nazi point seeing that there are also Neo-Nazis in the U.S. I would find it hard to live without air conditioning, but to be fair where I live average temperatures all year is in the high 90's (F). So maybe if Germany is not as hot than I might be fine without air conditioning. I enjoyed your reactions of disapproval.

  6883. LOVE TRAVEL VLOGS! 😁 Is that a gopro? You definitely need the newer one with image stabilization. Bedroom scene was bad, but it was less noticeable after that. (not a critism, I have a couple travel vlogs and that stood out). Overall very enjoyable.

  6903. For me I like you and your videos because of your positive persona and mostly unbiased points. Also due to the fact that many years ago we lived in Germany and my daughter was born there. I have many friends in Germany and listening to you is a wonderful way for me to reminisce lol. Thank you and as far as the Patreon, I would like to see where it would lead. I vote go for it.

  6908. Noch eine Korrektur zu den Steuern 42% stimmt leider ebenfalls nicht. Ich denke das Problem ist dass die Youtuber nicht wissen was ein progressives Steuersystem ist und was der Unterschied zwischen Spitzensteuersatz und Grenzssteuersatz ist. Richtig wäre dass jemand mit 52T€ Einkommen ca. 10500€ Steuern zahlt da sind etwa 20% (inkl Kirchensteuer und Soli) . Hinzu kommen 10400€ an Sozialabgaben (Krankenversicherung, Pflege- und Unfallversicherung, Rente, etc.) Das wären dann zusammen mit den Steuern etwa 40% ABER eben alles bereits zusammengerechnet! ////// Eng. Another correction, the 42% tax rate is unfortunately also not correct. I think the problem is that the Youtubers do not know what a progressive tax system is and what the difference between the top tax rate and the marginal tax rate is. Correct would be that someone with 52T€ income pays about 10500€ taxes (which would be 20%) (including all taxes like church tax and soli). In addition there are 10400€ of social security costs (health insurance, nursing care and accident insurance, pension payments, etc.) That would then be together with the taxes about 40% BUT everything already added up! All costs for doctor appointments, emergency and hospital costs and medicine included :)

  6924. Inuit have many words for snow. On the one hand it reflects their environment. However it also happens to be the other way around. There are cultures that have only one word for blue and green. When they are first taught the concept of blue, they have difficulties actually perceiving it. I, personally, would ask someone where the differences between blue, turquoise, and green are. On the one hand you don’t have words for what you don’t perceive and on the other you perceive objects according to the concepts you are taught. This shows us how unreliable perception is and how much we shape the world, that is, our perception of it.

  6932. I married a German (northern) and she said she got to avoid this thing where if unmarried by 30 they had to go through town with a broom or something (or was it a wheelbarrow or rolling trash can), like sweeping the trash away? Don't remember the details, nor if that was a German thing, a northern thing, or just local village thing.

Whatch RicknineG & for that monies he postes our name and or days our name & videos before that hit YouTube. Merchandise is cool,I don’t Belice the matrix is very good,but ppl see you name. I’m not a T-shirt person so,that leaves me out of most ppls mercy store,too! Also,delivery charges & length of time for delivery is kinda long. That’s my 3 cents anyway. Caio’.

  6943. Today I bought gelato. It is so, so, so, so much better than traditional American ice cream (from the store). The flavor is more intense to be sure much like German coffee versus American coffee. One big difference, though. Home made American ice cream is just wonderful compared to what you get in the store. Then I am not so sure which is better but home made may win.

  6969. I was prescribed Percocet because of a badly broken leg. I took it until the pain subsided and never touched it after that. I was thankful for the pain relief at the time. It’s also a tragedy when people who need pain relief can’t get it because of the backlash against opioid pain killers.

  6986. I'll be going to Germany for the 1st time in October. I'm going to Duesseldorf for Doro Pesch's 40th anniversary concert. And I might be going to Munich as well since I just found out Semblant is playing a show 2 days before that and a scenic train ride to Duesseldorf is pretty cheap. I've always wanted to see the Fatherland.

  6990. While some indoor/outdoor cats do live a long time, indoor cats have a higher average expected lifespan than outdoor cats. You could also flip that statistic on declawing cats and say that 75-80% of Americans decide not to declaw their cats even though it is an option. I think it was more popular years ago and I would suspect that the number of cat owners who do this keeps dropping as more and more people realize how cruel it is. There is nothing sadder than seeing a declawed cat try to scratch and climb things only to remember that she can't because she lost her claws years ago. If you are really worried about your furniture then you can have special plastic covers glued to your cat's claws. You protect your furniture and the cats keep their claws. You do have to get the claws clipped and the plastic covers replaced every once in a while but it is much better than declawing.
    1
  6991. I do enjoy your videos. My question to you is. Have you interact or try to learned more about the Natives American?

  6992. Let add my "wtf" moment when I visited Germany and Austria. To ticketing gates at public transport! Especially the metro. How is this system of trust works? Are people really so thoughfull about it that they still buy tickets eventhough they can pretty much get around for free. Sorry, but being born and raised in a country that has automated gates, and stil 8/10 get in free by jumping over over doubletagging the person in front of them, this baffled me so badly.

  6996. A few years ago I backed a Kickstarter for 'Fluent Forever'. Check it out. The author has put a lot of time and effort into his language learning program. There isn't a single best language learning program, but his is very good. It has a bunch of resources online for pronunciation samples by native speakers and flashcard solutions for learning new languages. Image learning, not translation. Learning is magic and it works. And Ben, Good luck and go for the hybrid approach. Darwin was right.

  7000. I also think (like many others) that the original video was meant to be a joke, thus the "roast" comment. It just.... put in slightly too much effort towards trying for actual facts to be a real roast? Not really that funny. If it were a roast, it'd be "Number one: Humor is outlawed there. The only acceptable pastimes are following the rules and cleaning your house. Number two: The Germans are luddites. The only air conditioner allowed in the country is an ancient device called a 'window,' and the only method of payment accepted anywhere are coins with pictures of sausages on them, proving that all Germans are deathly afraid of any new technology." etc. That'd be a roast. Obviously cheesy and stereotypical and stuff. You don't cite statistics in attempt to roast. Just my opinion. Enjoyed your response tho. You went all in and were super polite. XD

  7005. Hey! You made it out to my backyard! I love a couple hundred meters from Jungle Jim’s in Eastgate. Yes the prices are high, you are correct. But many items are hard to find here. I lived in LA for 20 years and we have Alpine Village with its store, deli, and restaurant (and Oktoberfest) in South Bay Los Angeles for authentic groceries and food. There’s a similar site south of there in Orange County, California by the coast. Both are fun but the selection is not as great. I do like ALDI for better value in chocolates, desserts, sausage and German or European foods. At least the sales tax is lower here than at the other Jungle Jim’s. And no city tax. That might make an interesting episode, about taxes and finance and how/why German healthcare and food is less expensive than here. Vielen dank.

  7006. Ah you live in Ohio, just noticing from the big tag of Cincinnati on your video

  7007. Wow, danke Feli! Ich schau mir die deutschen Videos zum Thema an (Rezo, Kayla, Parabelritter, Solmecke) und trotzdem habe ich gerade noch Dinge erfahren, von denen ich nichts wusste! Btw solche art videos gefallen mir richtig gut. Quasi Rezo-style auf englisch!

  7008. Woo Hoo! :-D Hi Felicia!
    1
  7009. Definitely make a Part 2. I never noticed the number differences before. During your video, I kept looking down at my keyboard to see what was "right", but it seems like a mix. 1 & 9 are more German and 7 is more American, but a 4 with a slash is a way that neither do! I write a 4 more like your 1st graders, but no tail to the right. Never used a fountain pen before. Pencils are mostly still around in schools in the US because they have to be used on Scantron tests where you fill in the bubbles for standardized tests. Not sure what you meant by the sheet tucking in. Don't understand what is nasty about tucking in from the German POV. Funny how my growing up in a USA family with German heritage, a lot of the German mannerisms still got passed down. The way we were taught to answer the phone and shoes by the door. The way we greet family and say hi/bye is more the German way, but the USA way is more common with my friends.

Congratulations on this achievement, I came across your channel a little while ago, I was stationed in Germany back in the late 80's early 90's when the wall came down and the land based Cruse missiles were decommissioned. I was at Wüschheim when it was closed. A lot history in that short amount of time I wish I was back there at times it is a beautiful country. Keep up the good work and hope you make the next level.

  7021. The secret is your enchanting smile! I didn't want to reveal that but your smile is so infectious - even more than the current one. It would be very hard to believe that you cannot make everyone you meet smile too. In a world in crisis mode your smile makes it all easier to deal with, so I for one would want to keep you smiling and keep healthy and happy! So congratulations to your success and ever growing fan base, you earned it!
    1
  7022. Congratulations, your videos are well made speak with intelligence. If I may make a suggestion for a 50k subscriber video, a cooking video were you go over a typical German meal you would eat at home. Not so much something traditional, just something that is common in Germany; for example my family being Mexican we either eat rice with a protein, tortillas with anything (similar to how slices of bread are used in the U.S.), or a caldo (stew). Once again congratulations, y 'te deseo muchas mas bendiciones' (I wish you many more blessings.

  7023. Regarding differences in numbers etc. Something similar for music notes: the note "h" in German is called "b" in English whereas a "b" in German is a "b flat" in English - caused some major disharmony when playing with English speaking friends for the first time :-D Also maybe you could talk about the different system of time (am/pm system vs 24h).

  7044. It's not age dependent, it's more competence dependent, you might have more doubt on yourself if you talk with "experts" like teachers, professors, your boss, especially if you are in a dependent (devote) situation. You hold yourself a little back, when criticizing your boss - but some bosses especially encourage you to do so. Of course it depends on the choice of words. But with anonymous people you consider everybody as equal leveled and not as wiser than you. Everybody can advice everybody. It's a battle of competence - and it's most often considered helpful - you help others to know and obey the rules. It's a bid of a game to guess, if an advice is welcome or not.

  7045. Great list! I’m American and don’t have any of these 😅 We have a shoe horn somewhere in the junk drawer which is useless when trying to put shoes on at the front door 😆 We used to have a fold up yard stick from like the 1970s in our junk drawer and then a full stick version in our pantry but I think we got rid of them years ago. The spritzer maker I remember seeing tv ads for often in the 2010s but I don’t think they really caught on like some appliances.

  7077. I am German and grew up with the Grimm's version. Das wäre auch die Version die ich meinen eigenen Kindern zuerst präsentieren würde, weil Märchen unglaublich viele Werte an die Kinder vermitteln (natürlich über das Unterbewusstsein). Das hat mich sehr überrascht, als ich erstmals erfahren habe, welchen Einfluss klassische Märchen auf Kinder haben :)

  7082. Really enjoyed learning the correct pronunciation of these brands. The only one I was already saying correctly was Adidas because I worked in a soccer store for 10 years and the adidas representatives , who was German, always trained us from the beginning on the correct pronunciation. The grocery store break down was very informative. I had no idea about Aldi and Trader Joe’s.

  7083. I would totally buy a beer mug! You should totally put a mini how to speak German lesson on there!

  7084. Our bread culture and pastry culture is the same in Slovenia as it is in Germany. But in the past few years stores started selling soft American-style cookies too. They usually come with a "soft baked" label on them and there isn't a big selection of them like it is with the "normal" crunchy ones, however. I tried some soft baked ones and I actually quite like them, I buy them regularly now. :) Honestly, I think both the European and American style cookies each have their own appeal, I like both. Bread, however.... I could never eat what we call "toast" over here as if it were bread. Toast is only good if it's toasted, otherwise it's a huge no for me. xD

  7085. you deserved it. congratulations.

  7086. OOH! "Gute namitag" is almost exactly how we say good afternoon in the Swiss dialect I speak!! So interesting! Edit: Also "Springe" is "to run" in Swissgerman too! And "jumping" is "gumpe". I wonder if it's very similar in Pfälzisch then?

  7087. I could only laugh, because I lived in Berlin, Germany, for 4 years. When I came back, I remember correcting someone mispronouncing Porsche (Porsh), and I said it’s (Por-sha). Then I was told I didn’t know how to say it🥺. We had the same conversation about Nivea lotion. 🤣

  7099. Hey Feli! Like your channel very much, very positive and informative. Keep it up! Enjoyed the Chris Pratt part, when at the end the interviewer shows the German sign for number 3 on fingers (index, middle and thumb extended), and Chris mimics that gesture, but using the American 3-fingers sign (index, middle and ring extended). Reminded me of the Inglorious Bastards, when Michael Fassbender's character accidentally exposes his non-German identity when ordering another round of whiskey (telling the bartender "drei Gläser") and showing the non-German sign for three. Maybe you can talk in one of your future episodes why Germans do it differently compared to the rest of the world. Liebe Grüße aus Kiel. ;)

  7100. One aspect that German speakers, even those with very good English, often get wrong is that they use the simple present tense too much. This is an immediate giveaway because, relative to speakers of European languages, English speakers do not use the present tense all that much! Germans will incorrectly say 'I go there' instead of 'I'll go there', for example.

I didn't know Germany did that. Then he even brought up the WORDS! 😂 lol. Made me laugh, It's so true! He hasn't convinced me, even if there is no AC and it costs £.50 for a bathroom. I feel bad people still bring up the Nazi stuff. He can't actually think that. All they need to do is watch your show!

  7106. I really enjoy watching your channel. I would like to hear more about the differences. I must say that I enjoy listening to you. Your English speaking is so good that I sometimes have to remind myself that you are German. When I lived in Germany , Augsburg, I would listen while riding the bus to work. I found that I was understanding the language well enough to keep up news reports. I was born and raised in Southwest Virginia so my southern accent made me feel uncomfortable when speaking other languages due to being self conscious of how my accent sounds😄 I am usually asked to talk in English so they can listen to my accent and usually in a humorous was😂. I am very happy for your success with your videos and wish you a wonderful life.

  7135. Congratulations on the 60K! One thing you mentioned regarding gas pumps in the U.S. is that they are prepaid. While this is true in most areas, there are places where you can pump first and then pay. For example in Wisconsin, many areas outside of the bigger cities are like this and I like this approach much more than prepaying for gas. Great video and danke for talking about these items!

  7137. I think the apparent pride that Germans have in driving fast can probably be summed up in two words: Michael Schumacher. I have to be honest, unfortunately. I have seen some videos here on YouTube that have shown some horrific automobile accidents on the Autobahn. In the words of the Bridgekeeper in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail": "If you do doubt your courage, come no further..." 😕

  7138. I live in the US and I've switched to a duvet but I still use a top sheet. I feel naked without the top sheet. I do love the two blanket thing though. When we were in Iceland all the beds had separate blankets for the two sides and it was so comfortable. I am always cold at night and my husband is always hot so next time I replace our bedding I'm going to get different small inserts for each side.

  7140. It's funny hearing an European female point of view on dating an American. I'm an American guy living in Germany and my experience dating females here are pretty much similar to what you're saying. I find European females easier to get along with than Americans. The only bad thing I could think of is most European females will categorize all American men based off of the one American guy they dated in the past, or whatever they hear from their friends. I believe if you have bad experiences with someone you shouldn't look at everyone of the same ethnicity or from.that country the same....

  7141. You are a wonderful representative for your country here in the US. Don’t apologize too much for pushy German drivers. Come to New York and sit at a green light a second too long and drivers will sit on their car horns! Thanks for your videos.

  7148. Josh's Deutsch ist wirklich Klasse! Ich könnt euch stundenlang zuhören. Gerne mehr solche Videos 👍 Ich weiß jetzt nicht ob das in die Kategorie 'Idiome' passt, aber eins meiner deutschen Lieblingswörter ist 'Verschlimmbessern'. Dann gibt es noch die vielseitige Verwendung für 'Bitte' (Pardon? Please. Go ahead. Here you go. You're welcome. Not at all.) Klassische Redewendungen wären "Ich glaub mein Schwein pfeift!", "Ist mir Wurst!", Ich glaub du hast den Ar*** auf!" oder "Ich versteh nur Bahnhof!?" Und viele, viele mehr.

  7154. As a native english speaker, I'd like to commend you on your English! It is one of the best i've heard for a non native, I know Germans who live here in England and have done for a while, and I still reallly notice that their English is sometimes pretty wrong. As someone who is learning German, I notice by their sentences, that they still use german structure... verb second, time manner place etc. But your English sounds 100% Native. I legit wouldn't know that you were German!!!

To Chip's point about a giant drunken mess it happens everywhere it just part of the "experience". I look forward to your findings tomorrow in Cincinnati.

  7170. This is my first time to see one of your videos and I have enjoyed it very much. My wife and I do a lot of traveling and have enjoyed all the times that we have spent in Germany and especially in Munich. We live in Columbus but my wife is from Beijing China. Your English language skills are terrific.

  7171. Interesting about the term "beamer". I always used "bimmer" or "beemer" to refer to a BMW. Granted, that is US slang. In our many travels to Deutschland, we've heard lots of "Genglish" (German/English) where the conversation drifts from one language to the other and then back again. Based on our limited German and the English we hear, you can usually get the gist of a conversation pretty quickly/easily. Danke for another fun/interesting video Feli. You stay safe as well. Auf wiedersehen!

  7177. Thank you for your sharing report on this very serious issue. I think the most important part was when you related your own experience about when you hurt your arm and how you opted out of taking the pain meds you were given. If more people were informed that they don't need these prescription drugs or that they have the option to take normal over the counter pain relievers as a first choice it could make a big difference in a lot of people's lives as well as the lives of their family members. Perhaps if it was made more of a hassle for doctors to prescribe these drugs or were monitored more closely regarding their prescription practices at the risk of loosing thier medical license it could change the whole thing. All the best to you Feli and we like your channel!

  7180. Hi I agree with all you where saying I do like to say at first I was thinking Briggs is a Nazi but more likely he is a Sad Brexiteer or a Russian Troll, I do like to add the high taxes Germans still have money left over to travel all over the world every year most time two times, Also look at the death rate with the corona virus all over the world it is good to pay more in taxes if it keeps you and your family alive Germany is the best place to live trough this time. The paying with cash Germans a very match like there privacy and dont like to be tracked by the government and dont like to be tempted to spent money there dont have. My last point air conditioner Germany had a bad experience in the 80.s with legionnaires disease form air conditioners, until today still the United States has 8,000–18,000 cases a year, we all know air conditioners can give you a summer flu, how will this be with the corona virus ? regards I like your youtube Alex

  7207. I really enjoyed your video; it was very informative! One thing I do question, I grew up in the US, and I have never heard Audi pronounced like you claim is the American pronunciation. The pronunciation I've heard is very close to your German pronunciation. Maybe it's a regional thing? Edit: By the way, German Girl in America, your English is so good, all Americans should strive to speak as well as you! Who knew the poster girl for perfect English pronunciation is a native German.

  7211. Now I never realized cutting my food with right hand then eating with left hand was European way of eating. I have always done that, but it might be because I am Ambidextrous so it just seems more effective. Why would I waste time to switch fork hand.

  7213. Thank you for the videos Felicia. Did I notice that the adopted English words ending in "er" are pronounced without the usual Deutsch hard R or any rill? Cutter in your German pronunciation sounded more like 'cutteh' than 'cutter-r'. Is this a flag that the word is imported rather than native German?

  7215. Thank you so much for this video, I love the Christmas Markets, I have been flying over to Germany every year for the past 7 years (I missed 2019). The smells and sounds of the markets are amazing! I tried the Eierpunsch I did enjoy it as well. Also I dont know the German word but its like a deep fried potato pancake with applesauce or a garlic sauce. I hope I can go in 2020.. Which is your favorite market? I really liked Nuremberg

  7223. Noch eine Sache zu der Statistik der Tötungsdelikte in 2018. Die ist deshalb so hoch, weil erst 2018 die Opfer des Breitscheidplatzes erfasst wurden. Es gab zwar "nur" 7 Todesopfer, allerdings werden bei vollendeten Tötungsdelikten die Verletzten (75) auch als Opfer gezählt und tauchen damit in der Kriminalstatistik als Todesopfer auf.

  7244. It's interesting, that more than 20 years (I am about that much older than you) later, it was still the same in German schools: Pencils are for first grade and later only used for drawing or sketching. "Serious" writing had to be done with a fountain pen. Even more, in my time in the 1980s ball pens were frowned upon and barely tolerated before the higher classes. Supposedly the necessary pressure compared to fountain pens ruined children's penmanship. And we received grades for handwriting/penmanship until fourth or even 6th grade or later! I believe a lot of "traditional" phone habits stem from a time until the 1980s or so when misplaced calls were somewhat frequent. There were no displays etc., calling was expensive, so one wanted to make clear whom the caller had called. My late father used to answer the phone with our phone number and his last name which was uncommon and mannered but he did this maybe also because my uncle with the same last name had a small business in the same village and we would get sometimes calls from his customers who got confused. I think the shoe customs got more strict. I don't remember kindergarten, but I certainly wore street shoes in school, never slippers. At friends places I either stayed in street shoes or wore socks, bringing slippers would not be common.

  7254. And this again proves my thesis that you can only truly copy an accent if you speak the language you‘re trying to copy the accent of... Thanks for this! 😃 I very fondly remember the story my English teacher in school told us where some German kept pronouncing „I‘m German“ like „I‘m chairman“ in the UK and confusing the blip out of everyone with it 😂

  7255. Could one or both of you talk about dubbed American TV shows in Germany? Sometimes I worry about things that may not be much of a problem, and definitely are not my problem. Like, what do they do about sitcom jokes that rely on local common knowledge or wordplay or idioms? I've already asked my friend, Helga Thalheimer, of the German Cultural Society of St. Louis and the German School Association of Greater St. Louis, about Rajesh on "The Big Bang Theory", so I now know he is dubbed in Indian-accented German. But what about dialog like "some place fancy, like Olive Garden", or language-specific jokes? I worry. Not my problem, but I'm curious. How do they solve it? Or do they?

  7256. You are so right that most of these things are never mentioned in English class (except maybe for since/for and the tenses)! Thanks for sharing.

  7260. Oddly, I often enjoy listening to people speaking English with an accent. The only time it's a problem is when the accent is so thick I can no longer understand the words. Otherwise, I don't mind the little grammatical mistakes (who cares?) or the mispronounced words. As long as I can understand what you mean, I'm fine.

  7261. There's a really good German-language show on Netflix called Kleo. It's about a Stasi assassin during the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification. It's a well-produced action-spy thriller with that quirky German humor. Also, highlights the weird period of West Germans coming into the East and how new things were as the East German state was suddenly fading away.

  7269. Aldi stores are spread widely throughout Australia, and are very popular. And you'll be interested to know we actually pronounce them the same way as you do! Another one Australians get pretty right is Adidas. I'd never heard anyone say "a-'dee-das" until now! I learnt German in high school, so I have always had a pretty good idea of how to pronounce these brand names the German way. But your pronunciation of VW was interesting, and makes perfect sense. Another German word you didn't mention but is widely mispronounced in English-speaking countries is "dachshund". I have heard it pronounced as "dash-hound" or "daks-hound" or "dash-hoond". Why not just call it a "sausage dog"? That's what it literally means!

  7280. 9:35 So I guess you aren't studying anything technical or science related, if the format of the paper is what annoys you the most. Calculating back and forth from metric and imperal system is just a annoying and unnecessary pain in the a** and can also lead to mistakes in fabrication by simple misunderstanding or missing out the unit. And that even due to the fact, that the US even officially use the metric system but never really actually switched due to pure habit I guess. It couldn't be convenience, since the up scaling with prefixes like kilo, mega etc in steps of ten actually is much more convenient imho and leads to less possible mistakes by conversion. Come and join the rest of the club/world finally USA, it won't hurt (much)) #SIBasiseinheiten4thewin!

  7282. I live in Italy and I noticed that German stores and supermarkets always have a huge selection of vegetarian/vegan products: for example Lidl, Drogerie Markt and Aldi. So I already noticed that Germans are more inclusive when it comes to plant-based food. Thanks to your video now I know that Germans are constantly reducing their meat consumption, so it all makes perfect sense. Going to German supermarkets always allows you to have a broader and more interesting choice when it comes to vegan products, even though I have to say that in the latest years the amount of vegetarian/vegan products in Italian supermarkets is becoming bigger and bigger.

  7307.  @FelifromGermany  Yes. Met them on the ferry. Dad, Mom, and three children all high school age. We talked about Germany and your blog came up. They were familiar. Talked about sex edu in Germany vs US. I shared your post about that. And your post about Christmas. Singing. And we discussed the EU. The Dad was pro-EU, of course. It was a great time. We talked about WW2. I remember you stated you got so tired of hearing it in school. Anyway, he said something like,"Yeah, we messed up." I said, "No, you, your wife, and kids didn't. Germans 70 years ago did, but not you. Today, Germany is very different and better in every way." I love Germany. Always have. Our name in German is Questenburg. Glad you made it down here to Raleigh. I love it here. Believing all your future "flirting" experiences are great one. :-)

  7310. Found this very interring as I was stationed in Kaiserslautern and Zweibrucken for three year and my job had me traveling all over souther Germany and north to Baumholder. My oldest daughter was born at Landstuhl. For one year we live in a German owned Apartment on the edge of town and made many friends there. Also belonged to a German =American sports car club they're learning a lot of German History. One of our German employees was a woman who lived in Berlin when the war ended , she was around 20 at the time and it was the only thing she wouldn't talk about.

  7318. Great video. Yes a little long, but very interesting to me. I too cringe during that scene in Inglorious Bastards. But I’ve seen it many times, as that is my favorite Tarantino movie, and I love Tarantino movies. As for me picking up on different German accents or dialects , I am hopeless. I do have substantial Germanic ancestry in my family. But they emigrated to the USA during the 1850’s, as many midwestern families can claim. I am pretty good at German geography. My sister has done a fair amount of family history and has found that our German people primarily came from a middle sized city called Schwerin which is located in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommen about half way between Hamburg and Rostock. However, your hometown Munich is the city that I would like most to visit , as I have heard a lot of great things about the people, and culture in that part of Germany. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. It was very entertaining. Take care!

  7327. Hi German Girl! Wow...that IS different, and it probably leads to other major cultural differences too! Like the stereotypical debate about “leaving the toilet seat up”. In the U.S., I would say that it’s universally recognized that there’s a cultural phenomenon/stereotype that men and women in the same house constantly argue about “leaving the toilet seat up” (or put another way: “forgetting to put the toilet set back down when finished”). Essentially, it goes like this: Women — presumably in their haste to go to the toilet — will fail to notice that the toilet seat was left “up” by a man in the house (ie, when he was done peeing standing up), and so the women accidentally sit on the dirty/cold toilet bowl rim before realizing the situations (or, as Ive heard as a joke, they went to sit down and instead, their bottoms “fell in”). This “toilet seat” debate has even become something of a “perpetual battle of the sexes” stereotype here, with U.S. women being VERY insistent that the men in the house should put the toilet seat back down when finished peeing (or they will complain to their friends about their husband/boyfriend/son, etc,., who is so unthoughtful that they never put the toilet seat back down). And on the other side, men insist that “it’s no big deal” to leave the seat up, and ask “how could you not possibly see that the toilet seat is up?” Ive also heard men jokingly say “it’s just as much work for men to LIFT the seat up, when the women forget, and “leave the seat down”). I’ve even seen this issue/stereotype appear in movies, books, game shows/reality TV, etc., and it’s a very well-known “thing” among Americans! BUT.... if it’s true that men in Germany mostly sit down to pee, then this whole cultural issue/stereotype probably doesn’t even EXIST in German either (or maybe it used to be a “thing” there, but has gone away as the custom of men sitting to pee has become the norm in Germany). All very interesting!! Would love to see videos about the difference between US and German bathrooms, and similar things. Thanks, and keep the videos coming!

  7334. English is my native language and I never thought about having a "light L" and a "dark L". After saying the word little a few times I see what you were talking about. As little kids we are taught each letter in the alphabet and their sounds. For most of the consonants the name of the letter has the sound of the letter. The letter "C" does have both a hard and soft sound which sometimes confuses kids when they are first learning to read because the hard "C" sounds like the letter "K". Now I'm interested to find a video that goes through the German alphabet and sounds. It's been over thirty years since I took German and I forgot except for the letter "W" sounding like our letter "V".

  7339. Cool stuff, The best thing I learned was point the collective nouns at point 5 - ‚the police are on their way‘ sounds even wrong to me, despite being exposed to english every day . At least it only applies to „to be“. Since/for I have heard before but forgot. Thanks for the video, super helpful

  7344. Hi Feli,,,,an American guy living here in Bavaria. Just watched this video I have have to agree with you on a couple things with Sundays and AC. The rest of this guy's opinions don't make sense. I feel safer here then just about anywhere in US. Munich is a refreshing big city, relaxing and easy going. Trying to learn Deutsche, I'm the worst in my class.

  7349. I don't know if it is an American thing, or just an Ohio thing, but we add S to most grocery stores. Krogers, Meijers, Aldis etc. Also places like J.C. Pennys. None of those are supposed to end in an S, but they do when I say them at least.
    1
  7350. Well Felicia, that american video was totally rubbish. Except for some very little totally not important minor things, everything is the same in the Netherlands, were I live. And I am very sure that that's the same for Belgium, Switzerland and the Scandinavian counties. It's a fact that a very big part of the Americans almost have no clue what is and what is happening outside of their country. But it's also a fact that we Europeans in general know much more of what is happening in the rest of the world. That doesn't mean that every American is 'dumb' or that every European is 'smart' but it's something that I experienced more than 40 years ago when I was in the military and unfortunately it didn't really got better. So I'm really on your side on this. ; )

  7361. I liked watching the back and forth opinions you both shared about the 2 countries. I'm from Canada and have my roots in Italy and love Europe especially when I went out for supper with my cousins, we would spend 3 to 4 hours eating and talking Great time. Keep smiling Felecia. I would watch more of these conversations. CHEERS 😀❤😀

  7366. Like 80 % of what you say could be valid for most Central European countries I would say as most of those things are regional (I mean other videos as well). In The Czech Republic we share most of the cultural things I'd say.

  7367. Now you've met a second person who shares your thoughts on indoor/outdoor cats. I have three cats, two tabby grays that could be brothers to your cat, and one tuxedo gray. I have a cat door that allows my cats to come and go as they wish. They sleep in their cat beds most of the day (which sit on my own bed), then go out for a few hours in the morning and evening. At night we are all snuggled together in the same bed. They love to hunt as most cats do for moles, voles, mice, and rats. I would never declaw them for any reason whatsoever! We are a happy family for sure!

  7371. Er hat Recht, der Thüringer Dialekt unterscheidet sich schon vom sächsischen. 😬 Wird immer verglichen und das hören Thüringer nicht gerne 😂 Ich bin dort geboren und wohne immer noch da. Allerdings habe ich keinen Dialekt. Fand den schon immer grässlich 😬 Ich war ganz überrascht als er Erfurt gesagt hat, weil ich nicht damit gerechnet habe, dass er den Namen meiner Stadt nennt. Hört man echt selten 😅 normalerweise kommt immer München, Köln, Hamburg, Berlin usw. 😅

  7379. If you are the Addams Family type, then yes; German weather is bad. I lived in Ireland for 9 years and have returned to Germany recently. There's few things that I defend about Germany, but complaining about the weather...? With that opinion about weather, that guy would've shot himself after a month in Ireland. Personally, I really miss the schizophrenic Irish weather though – but I know that I am part of a minority here. PS: I lived in the southern part; heavily influenced by the Gulf Stream. I know that weather (in general) uses to be more stable up north in Eire. PPS: Danke, Feli, dass du hier mal den Müll rausgebracht hast.

  7381. Ich studiere Grundschullehramt. Mir wurde in der Uni deshalb nochmal extra beigebracht, wie man Zahlen richtig schreibt, ohne den individuellen Touch, welchen man sich über die Jahre angeeignet hat. Die 9, die ich schreiben soll, sieht sogar noch mehr wie ein g aus, wie meine „normale“ 9.

  7382. A point of information: Participation in the US Census is not voluntary. The US Constitution requires it, and refusal to participate is punishable by law with fines of up to $5 ,000. One may view it as either an intrusion or as a civic duty such as voting, though non-participation in US elections is allowed, unlike in Australia, where it is required by law. Love your excellent videos, BTW -- from a fellow midwesterner.

  7383. That was great! Yes, a part 3 would be appreciated. German people are heartier, is that the right word?, anyway, more walking, bicycling, healthier. The more information about your Country of origin the better. Thank you again.

  7385. I've been surprised to see the term "cutter" used recently to mean " small town person". I can only assume it comes from the movie "Breaking Away" about hometown kids beating college kids from out of town. Not super common but I'm surprised to see it still around considering how old the movie it. Clearly some people are using it that way. Great blog by the way. It has motivated me to try to recover the German I knew 45 years ago.

  7389. Felicia: another great video! As for German words used in English in a strange way (from a German perspective), I would suggest: „Angst“, „Weltschmerz“, „Wunderkind“, amongst others... Maybe a topic for another video?

  7390. Many in this country consider Cincinnati as the northern most southern city. If you go to Lexington, even though it is only 90 miles, the accent difference is VERY different. Thanks again.

  7395. Not sure if this everywhere in Germany but the first time I went to a German restaurant I experienced something I have never seen before. Went to the restaurant by myself and the waitress went up to a couple sitting at a table that could seat four people. She spoke to them then waved me over to sit with them. I sat down and they just continued talking and did not acknowledge I was even there until I asked if they could help me understand the menu and order. The surprise to me was having me just join a table with someone already sitting there.

  7396. I really enjoyed this video. Honestly I was shocked how different the writing is between the two countries— it could easily lead to mistakes and misunderstandings if you’re not aware of it. I also have to compliment this lady — she has a very engaging and uplifting personality for these videos. Well done

  7402. The videos you did were you offered your opinion on a topic and then included the opinion of other native Germans were a great watch. Any chance you doing more of those? My favorite was when your friend came to America to tour with you and gave her impression of America. The two of you in the front steps discussing your trip was fantastic!!

  7424. Hallo, congrats on 50k subscribers. I was one of your early subscribers. I came across your channel when I first started becoming curious about Germans/Europeans. Until a couple years ago I never really thought about Europe. Then I came across some German Foreign exchange students' channels in the US and was blown away on how good they were at speaking English. I was able to learn about Germany through them and I felt barriers were broken because I got a better scope of what Germany/Europe was about. On a side note, I read the comment of a previous video where the German said he thought it was strange that Americans said they were German and he didn't consider them so and then you concurred. I always thought German Americans (Americans with German Heritage like myself) were like long lost relatives. I thought Germans from Germany would feel a kinship with us. But at alas, that doesn't seem to be the case. Anywho, sorry for rambling and have a great day.

  7425. My favorite 'Germanism' I hear all the time from Germans who smoke cigarettes is: "Do you have fire?" Of course they should ask: "Do you have a lighter?" or, more commonly, "Can I get a light?"

  7427. Congratulations on 100K subscribers! Your channel has really exploded in popularity, and it is a tribute to your pleasant personality and engaging content (and you’re very pretty, which never hurts, either). All the best to you s the channel continues to grow. My sister-in-law has just married and relocated to Cincinnati, so I will be back there. The city looks very, very interesting, and I’d like to see more of it. Maybe (without giving away your favorite haunts too much) you could do a bit of a visitors travelogue, places that you have discovered since you have been there. The German flavor of the city is quite apparent, even in the little bit of it that I just saw.

  7438. I don't think that Americans necessarily like American ices cream more. I think Gelato just wasn't regularly available. I always thought Gelato was just the Italian word for ice cream, and I didn't actually encounter it until I was 25 or 26. Trying both, I definitely prefer Gelato. It's just not as common in the US.

  7442. Das die deutsche Sprache einen Einfluss hatte in den USA wurde mir vor 8 Jahren erst richtig bewusst als ich in Honolulu mich mit einem älteren Herrn aus Texas mich auf Deutsch unterhalten habe (er sprach texas german ) . Für das seine Vorfahren vor über 150 Jahren über pennsylvania nach Texas übergesiedelt sind . War sein Deutsch beeindruckend gut . Als Schweizer finde ich beeindruckend wie sehr sich die deutsche Sprache in den USA manifistiert hat sowohl Worte die gesprochen werden als auch komplette Sprachen wie Texas German oder pennsylvania dutch .

  7443. What is your favorite vacation spot in Germany myself while I was there in the military I like the zugspitze I don't know if that's the correct spelling also like oberammergau also do you see the difference between a States and Germany in regards to nudity Germany appear to be a lot more relaxed than the states

  7444. The “ad” for Lingoda was too long. Otherwise, I enjoyed this because I lived in Germany for three years and noticed every difference you mentioned.

  7445. Many of these words were brought back to the States by Soldiers. I remember my German teacher in Mannheim telling me that American English uses a little over 400 German words. One I always thought was interesting was 'pause', I think they are spelled the same, but pronounced differently, (pawse in english,and Powsa in German) but mean pretty much the same ...love your channel..

  7450. You're quite right about the tourist experience at Neuschwanstein. We were hurried through the castle with minimal time for questions, and not near enough time for us to linger and look as we like to do. Next time we go we plan to be flexible about just which tour group we're in, if you get my meaning.

  7460. Soft cookies really didn't become popular until the 1970s. Maybe that's why I like them, because growing up, all we had were hard cookies, and had to dunk them in milk to make them sort of soft. As I get older, I'm sure my old teeth will appreciate the soft cookies even more. Be well. Greg in TN :)

  7474. In certain states certain deposit refunds are given for cans and bottles. For example when I lived in AZ aluminum cans were recycled and deposit refunds returned by weight. So crushing cans were more effective to take up less space. In MA deposit refunds are given by individual can or bottles. So neatly cleaning and storing them before returning to the store is more effective. Some states do not require a deposit for these items, so I can understand why people would just toss them into recycling bins or I hate to say just the trash bin. 😔 All I can say is if I'm paying a deposit I will surely do my best to get this money back. Helps my wallet and recycling!

  7480. Good video. A lot of this was new to me. As a math tutor I did however adopt the German way of writing the number 7 and the letter z. Otherwise a 7 could be confused with a 1 and the variable z could be confused with the number 2.

  7481. I just subscribed to you're channel today and I can't stop watching you're videos they're that good. This video is very entertaining. Briggs is critical of a lot of cities when it comes to crime. Besides you're very nice and I love the smile. I've always known Germany to be relatively safe.

  7497. Girl.. 50,000 is a lot, but you need to slow down with all the Patreon, and merch talk. I know it's a big moment for you, but it's only 50K. How about you wait until after 100K when Youtube recognizes you as a big channel. When you know that you're not just plateauing here with a small influx of subscribers. Wait until you know that the views are still going to come in. Just take it one day at a time. Don't get ahead of yourself.

  7498. Good video !! I was stationed in Germany for three years in the late 1970's when I served in the US Army----- I enjoyed many things about German culture and lifestyle----- Yes, there were many differences compared to the USA but I found Germany to be an interesting and pleasant place to live--- I think Brigg's content stems from his own ignorance about modern Germany and his desire to gain views through the use of "clickbait" tactics

  7499. Hi, I spent 25 years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. JPL is responsible for the unmanned exploration of the solar system. I was the Software Systems Engineer for the Galileo spacecraft. Galileo went to Jupiter with German engines, more correctly the thrusters for most maneuvers and one big (for a spacecraft) engine. I lot of my job was: 'Allright (children), have your programs play nice together.' 🙂 That was a communications and coordination assignment. For some of the teams I was also a software reviewer. Often also a mentor. (I started with computers in the early 1960s.) A team came over from Germany for a few years and I got well acquainted with all of them. One interesting thing that has become a worldwide protocal is how you read numbers over a com link (telephone-ish). For say 25, German custom is to say "five and twenty" in English it is "twenty five." So... you read each digit at a time: "two, five." Much more reliable. Oddly, in a pre-JPL life, I worked on the testing of the software for the Deutschland, the (then) training ship of the German navy. She visited San Diego, where I lived and worked, and I had got a very complete tour of her. I enjoyed your video. Yes, please make a sequel.

  7514. Umm...WOW! So much really neat information! I looked at a Miele vacuum cleaner years ago, but settled on a Sebo (still a German brand, I think), but that turned out to be the very best vacuum I've ever had. I still have it and 13 years later it still runs like new!

  7520. Wow, I'm also shocked to hear so many cats are declawed in the US. If your furniture is /that/ important to you, then either don't get a cat or get her a good scratching pole/tree. My sister has a cat and she didn't even have to be taught to use the scratching pole instead of furniture, it was just instinctual for her. I'm not a fan of animal mutilation in general (like cutting dogs' ears and/or their tails) unless it has to be done for health reasons. Otherwise it's just cruel imo. I'm glad declawing isn't really a thing where I live.

  7528. The 42% taxes on income is not true! That's the so called margin rate that taxes the last earned dollar/euro. The rate rises with the income and between 8.000 (single) and 14.000 EUR (married) are exempt from taxation. Your total tax on 52.000 EUR would be between 25 and 30% which still is high and depends on being married or not. This guy should do some proper research before posting such bullshit! Lot of the other issues are silly. Graffity or long composed words are a reason for not visiting Germany? Literally almost every German speaks English, you will never get a problem with conversation. The 80 letter word is just a hoax, a joke we use ourselves to mock about German composed words. We do compose words and you can combine words into one, but we don't exeggerate that. And to those of you who don't speak German at all it is simply not relevant. Our loving of cash is just a natural form of prepaid cards. You can't spend more money than you have if you use cash. By the way almost every store accepts card payment, except very little ones e.g. hot dogs stands. But they just accept bank cards instead of credit cards because credit card companies charge them with a lot of fees. His no.1 issue on nazis is just pure nonsense. Mothers distancing from their babies? Nowadays? Molotows cocktail attacks on tourists? I haven't heard of a single one. He imposes an impression as if you always have to look behind you if you walk down the street. Has that guy just read about Germany or actually been here?

  7530. I suspect that now, the continuing high rate is just habit. It has been going on for so long. However, as you mention, it is going down, and there is no reason to think it won't cpontinue to. The trend in general is to go more "natural" with all aspects of childbirth and infant care, so that would follow. There is no medical justification for it unless something is wrong. A drastic decline in overall population will, however, likely have a negative impact on sales of lotions, lubes, and coconut oil.

  7531. Danke! Thank you so much for recommending the Gingerbread chest! I bought it for my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loved it! Her absolute favorite gift! The discount using your code was also appreciated and substantial. Everything is so tasty in that package. Meine Frau war sehr glücklich! LOL. I discovered your channel because, for absolutely no reason, I decided to (attempt to) learn Deutsch at 52 years old (I'm a Texan who knows English and Spanish, btw) ; started with Duolingo going on one month. I supplement it with some amazing YouTube channels. And, I really enjoy your channel. You made our Christmas! Thank you! Gracias! Danke!

  7546. Jan 6 is the same in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico's most practiced religion is Catholisism. We call it "El Día de los Tres Reyes Magos" (Three Wise Men Day). It is a gift giving day and traditions is set where children collect grass in a shoe box and place it next or at the end of the bed on the ground so that the Three Wise Men camels can have something to eat after their long travels to gift one toy for each child. We adults exchange gifts with friends and family and we also do a big party with lots of drinks and food.

  7556. Hey Felicia! Bin grad aus Zufall auf das Video hier gestoßen...mir wurde das "Top 10 Reasons not to live in Germany" Video letztens vorgeschlagen und ich dachte mir direkt "Um Gottes Willen, was für ein Schrott...das guck ich mir gar nicht erst an." Nun stoße ich auf deine Reaktion und bin so froh es geschaut zu haben. Es macht mich wirklich wütend, was dort geredet wird und vor allen Dingen WIE. Das Lustige ist, ich wollte dann doch gern mal das Original sehen, war auch ziemlich neugierig, was die Kommentare dort betrifft. Und zack bumm "Dieses Video ist nicht mehr verfügbar". Hast du da was mitbekommen, wieso das gelöscht wurde?

  7557. Some of your vids popped up on my feed - nice channel. The difference in writing letters and numbers really surprised me. Sorry about the beer prices:) Since you're in OH, you might want to try Great Lakes Brewing Company's "Edmund Fitzgerald" - it's an IPA, but pretty mild/great flavor. Thanks for reminding me about Rammstein. They're coming to Philly and I have to order tickets.

  7566. Feli, some of what you are mentioning in American houses (single large rooms, excessively large refrigerators, etc.) are in newer suburban homes. Most houses in your neighborhood will not have that floor layout or large refrigerator because of the age of the homes (built in 1900 or earlier). Your editing skills are on fire when American Felicia speaks with German Feli! 🇺🇸 👩🏼‍🦰 🇩🇪

  7570. I like watching your videos, since my niece is an American living in Munich. Kind of the exact opposite. Now, she has been there a while, and went to German schools. Germans don't realize she isn't German. She came back to the US to attend university, and returned to Munich with her American husband. He is really going through the culture transition. But in visiting, I have been exposed to the number differences, the bedding, and something you left out, the windows.

  7577. My 3rd year German teacher in H.S. would always use the "Morgen, Morgen nur nicht Heute sagte alle faulen Leute" saying when someone did not have their homework and the kid said he/she would have it "tomorrow". It does translate to "Tomorrow, tomorrow not today, all the lazy people say". I am not sure why he used "sagte" (Past tense) instead of "sagen". He would follow up with "Bist du ein faulen Leute (person's name)?" and ask if you wanted extra homework. Unless you were REALLY dumb you answered, "Nein, danke". LOL

  7584. The word diutisk has a cognate in Oldnorse, þjóð, which survives in modern Icelandic , þjóð, and modern Faroese (my language), tjóð. The modern meaning is nation, as in the people, not the country. The name for Germany, however, is Þýskaland and Týskland respectively

By the way, welcome to the US. I hope you enjoy your time here and develop a great circle of close friends. Please excuse the errors. S omehow the computer set itself so I can't correct mistakes.

They really have been the most helpful thing to keep up some of my regular routine while still minimizing direct human contact. My vaccine was drive-through, too! I thought that was a very safe way to vaccinate thousands of people at a time. Also, "parkett" must be the German spelling; in English we use the French spelling and pronunciation of "parquet" (par-KAY) to describe a hardwood floor with a pattern.

  7605. A Water Closet (WC) is the name for a toilet you can flush with water. It's origin is English. It's basically the system invented by mr. Crapper. The reason people are asked to pay for toilets in places with a lot of public though traffic is to have staff to clean the toilets, which actually earn a living wage.

However, although I do pronounce Adidas with the accent on the first syllable, I was just mimicking how a friend pronounced it thinking they were being silly and joking around with the pronunciation. Saying it that way just became a habit and my way of continuing the silliness. Little did I know that I was pronouncing the name correctly! The joke is on me, I guess! LOL! 🇩🇪 ❤

  7622. Great Channel! Excellent Work! I thought I'd give my two cents as to why Americans seen to prefer top loader washing machines. Is a Top Loader: Harder on Clothes? ABSOLUTELY! Does a Front Loader Clean Clothes better than a Top Loader: Yes, DEFINITELY! Two Questions: 1.) What does a quality German Washer Cost in Germany? 2.) How long do they last? OK, so why Top Loaders Everywhere? 1.) Cost: A Top of the line Top Loader is around $800. No frills units can be had for $300-$350. A Quality Front loader runs $1000-$1500. 2.) Reliability: The Parents had a top loader that ran for over thirty years with no problems. I inherited it, ran it for another 5 years or so and then bought a LG Front Loader when the gear box went out. Ran fine for 5-8 years and then Nothing but one problem after the next. The first units like mine (15-18 years old) were under engineered. Being an engineer with a full tool box, I've had to fix: 1.) Door Seal Leakage 2.) Door Seal Mold and Mildew. (Leave the front door OPEN when not in use or your clothes will STINK.) New Gasket ~$100 3.) Water Leakage out back. It's on it's second set of replacement seals and bearings. Any Leakage, Bearings go out FAST! Bearing & Seal Set ~$50. 4.) Pump motor seal went out, New Pump Motor $25 5.) Door Lock mechanism kept giving false door open alarms. Rebuilt it. 6.) Replaced the drum spider due to corrosion and leakage ~$250 just in parts. 7.) Rear Motor Mount failed. Found a used mount on eBay or that would have been $200. The wife hates this machine with a passion and there is NOTHING wrong with it now! The one sure way to have her talk Divorce: "Honey, Let's buy a new Front Loader."

  7623. On your accent. First. Your English is PERFECT. You still have an accent.....but it's neutral and faint enough where you can tell you aren't native-born American........but you can't pin down WHERE you're from. If I didn't already KNOW you were from Germany, I could just as easily have guessed Poland.....or another Eastern European country. In any event, I'm probably like any other American man. We like accents.....lol. Good video. You're very honest. 👍

  7634. Hallo Felicia👍. I am from Denmark(nachbahr🇩🇪🇩🇰), and I have always leaned that it was polite and rigth to sit down at hometoilets. My mother is a womens rigths woman(I was born in 1975), so she had strong opinons on this matter, and my wife expects the same👍. But in public toilets I prefer urinals as they are less descusting. By the way I have to share my love for your hometown, München. Have been there more times than I can count and Augustiner Helles is the best Bier in the world(Ich liebe es🍻). Alles gute aus Dänemark👍😀

  7644. I can think of a phrase we use here that is the same as your German "safe". That's a safe bet, i.e. a sure bet. There's a unique descriptive quality to the German language; many of your examples were like it. Beamer - a beam of light shines forth. As if it could've been "lightshiner". Neck holder.

  7645. Congratulations Felicia for doing so much and so well, and you're only 25! I mean I'm gonna be 34 in a week but you've done so so much! Honestly I can barely detect your accent and you speak English a lot better than most Americans I know. I worked overnight so I'm about to partake of some cannabis before I go to sleep. Speaking of, I am akin to Germans apparently because I like to mess up the sheets and comforters and manipulate them to my desire. Also, as I mentioned cannabis, to my knowledge, that is relatively well tolerated in Germany. Do you know if that is so? Good job Felicia and keep it up!

  7654. You just triggered a strong childhood memory! My mother is from Germany and she baked her cookies crisply. I hated it! :) To me they tasted hard and burnt and I called them space shuttle tiles! My mother is a fantastic cook but she could not even conceived of making chewy cookies. Thank goodness for my American Grandmother! However I was spoiled by my mother's other desserts and dishes. PS I was eating Nutella regularly 30 years before the rest of the United States thanks to my German Oma sending us treats from Germany.

  7661. I am into smoking pork shoulder and other meats and because of my German heritage, how do they interpret American barbecue into their culture. I was watching a German language video and he was describing his preparation when he used the phrase "money muscle" clearly in English to describe that part of a pork shoulder, I understand what you mean when Germans blend in English to a conversation. Very well done and thanks for being there.

  7665. 11:49 You say his numbers are probably accurate on the graffiti bit, after debunking most of his numbers on the first part. I would not trust any of the numbers this guy uses. I did check the numbers, and at least some seem to be in the right ballpark for the graffiti subject. Berlin is actually famous for its graffiti culture, from the time it was an enclave of freedom within the soviet block. The graffiti on the Berlin wall is legendary and very much part of the identity of Berlin.

  7678. Hi Feli, another informative video, Danke! I think you need to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras (Cajun [French] for 'Fat Tuesday') and then compare/contrast that celebration with the events in Koln. We'd love to see a video of that! Is there any significance to the beginning of Carnival Season with Armistice Day (11 November at 11:11 AM)?

  7681. Thank you for this video! One of my uncles was in Germany for a while in the late 1940's, and when he came back, he started to add some of the German Christmas traditions he loved to what my family did here. When I was born and as I grew up, I got to know some of these (as well as you showing some other wonderful traditions!) It's great knowing about the background of some of these, so thank you!

  7683. I actually think it’s pretty common for people to own indoor-outdoor cats in America. When I lived in a quiet neighborhood I would let my cat out during the day and she would pretty much just stay in our fenced in yard by choice. But at night she would always come in because we didn’t want her out there with the outdoor only cats who were territorial and aggressive. Or raccoons or possums. But now I live in a busier place so the cats stay inside. Unfortunately we don’t have a fenced in yard so they could easily run into the street. As for declawing, I would never do that. But my family did in the past. They didn’t know how cruel it was because it was so culturally normalized. Thankfully people are being educated slowly!

  7685. So entertaining and informative! I learned so much from your video, and I can't wait to watch this with my 13yod. You have a wonderful "on-air" presence and are a joy to watch.

  7686. I am surprised that even with my native accent I pronounced Audi and Adidas accurately. I already knew about how to pronounce Porsche and Volkswagen. What surprised me was Mercedes-Benz. The German pronunciation caught me off guard! I got the beer brands, the hair brand, the airline, and the household-appliance brand wrong. Lol.

  7691. As a first gen in America from Cleveland, Ohio with all German relatives from Frankfurt I can attest by living in other places in the US the shorts and a tshirt when it’s 60 degrees is not only an Ohio thing but mainly is just a thing here and kinda has become a joke 🤣 it’s like we’re so done with winter that any little bit of warm weather we just shed the layers, not me though 🤣 but I can say when I was in Frankfurt and we actually got lucky because it was abnormally warm in October 75-80 degrees we went on the river Rhine cruise and it was warm enough for me to be in a tank top outside and my aunt was cold so she went inside by the window with the blaring sun on her and we checked on her 20 minuets later and her face was beat red and I was hot after two minuets just standing there inside the ship and she was like “ No I’m fine, it feels nice “ and I’m like girrrllll you look like you’re about to stroke out 🤣 I think it’s just an air conditioning acclimation differenence but I lean more on the side of always getting cold and I always have layers lol I love how spot on your videos are and the fact you live in Ohio I can relate so much watching you to my own life, friends and family in Germany 😌

  7692. As a german I grew up with the original versions. My favorits were little red riding hood, the wolf and the seven kids and Hansel and Gretel. Those are even more brutal. But it was way worse to listen to the stories in "Der Struwwelpeter" written by Heinrich Hoffmann or "Max und Moritz" from Wilhelm Busch. I wonder how disney would change those stories to fit as a family friendly movie😏🤭
    1
  7693.  @FelifromGermany  I have not!! Can't wait to check them out! I'm practically giddy! And I remember you talking about how reserved Germans can be in social situations - but Florian looked quite excited! Also, loved the "top gun knock-off" music! Still can't believe how jaw-dropping this whole video was! You are taking the whole "Differences and similarities between the Us and <insert other country here>" to a whole new level - downright genre defining :)

  7696. Wow that's interesting! I'm a Jewish girl from Israel and I never knew Christian American boys were being circumcised as well 😱 Could be that the procedure is done differently there? Because I think most Jewish men don't experience any of the problems that are described in the comments...

  7697. Thank you for correcting Mr Briggs video. Some of his content can be quite snarky but that seems to be his overall attitude towards life. I've never been to Germany however my sons are around 50% German based on my ancestry but much more so on their mother's side. As a side note, he & I live only a few miles apart but we've never met - which is probably a good thing.

  7701. Hi Felicia. I love your enthusiasm - which comes through in all of your videos. As for this video, I have seen all of the features you pointed out in American homes. The built-in closets are a relatively recent feature; older homes don't have them, but are often added if/when the owner remodels the home. As for the air conditioning, it has become a non-negotiable necessity in most homes - especially in the south where it is so hot and humid during the summers. And as for the garbage disposal, I use mine to dispose of all food stuff, except for things like bones and artichoke leaves, which will ruin the disposal. Keep up the good work!

  7709. That's what people said when they let Catholics from Ireland and Italy into the USA in the late 1800s. That's what people said when they let Ashkenazi Jews (including half of my ancestors) from Eastern Europe into the USA in the early 1900s. That's what people said when they let Vietnamese and Korean immigrants into the USA in the mid to late 1900s. That's what people said when they let Arab and Latino immigrants into the USA in the 21st century. Xenophobic bigots repeat the same lies every single generation that if we let this current group of immigrants to our country, it will be too late for our country. They've been saying that for generations. And it's always been a hateful despicable lie.

  7715. I would definitely like to visit Germany some day ! Thanks for refuting the info on the other video ; he sounded like a "hater " anyway . :P I have to also say that , if we go to visit other countries that we should first of all respect the differences and that we should not think that our way of doing things is the right way or the only way .

  7717.  @FelifromGermany  haven't actually written in so long lol, but that absolutely makes sense. Glad you've enjoyed the Queen City. I'm originally from Louisville, Kentucky, and Cincinnati is a very similar city...and very close. Big reason I miss UL playing UC every year, such a big rivalry. Several friends played for Xavier's soccer team, actually.

  7722. In Texas there is a German "dialect" of sorts that is mainly spoken by the older generation. There is a video of a German guy listening to it and seeing how well he can understand it. Would be interesting to get your take on it.

  7726. I finally managed to find a bottle of Erdinger weisbier at my local grocery store. THANK YOU, FELI, for tickling my curiosity--I REALLY like this beer.

  7738. Has your attitude to privacy changed since moving to the US? Germany is quite different to the US and parts of Europe when it comes to privacy. For example rules about taking photos in public where people or licence plates are there, dashcams are forbidden, very little CCTV, down to things like everyone having private profiles and misspelled names on social media so they can’t be found, and using cash for privacy reasons (though people use Payback...) After all, we have Germany to thank for the GDPR. Just wondering if you’ve noticed then difference and if anything has changed for you. Cheers! American Guy in Germany #askagerman

  7753.  @FelifromGermany  Getting close to 100k subs. I remember subscribing when you had like 5k. congrats. yes in the US we just call them christmas lights, that's all I've been saying. Perhaps that is not popular name anymore because has been a movement called secularization, which people want to remove the association of Christmas and the 25th of Dec. Maybe it's another one of those culture differences, that didn't seem to be as popular in Germany when I was living there. In the US we put them on trees but also around the windows and doorways just like you do. It's common thing to do right after Thanksgiving and kids love to take part in the effort. Then generally you take them down after christmas or new years. Before LEDs were invented, these were little incandescent light bulbs, and if one burnt out, the whole thing would stop working, very frustrating to find the dead one, but they ran on 115V AC power. In europe these would be much more dangerous to run on 230V AC because that can amount of voltage can kill you, which is why in the US most appliances and outlets are 115V AC.

The level of fluency , the pair of you show is scary 😱 I have a very good memory - I guess that’s half the battle. P.S. if you ever want to learn London English ( modern cockney ) - working class level to middle class level, let me know 🤣 (joking obviously) , be lucky Feli !

  7757. I'm a German guy in Canada. I grew up in both countries going back and forth so I learned BOTH writing systems. : ) I was expecting to see the capital A (the German one is like a tent while the Canadian one is like a O) which is perhaps all I remember of the German writing after all these years in Canada. Still have my old "Fueller" (fountain pen) from school. As for the rest I never tuck in anything, take off my shoes when coming home, answer the phone with silence (spammers key off "Hello") since real people realize the phone's been answered & shake hands when greeting people.

  7759. With regard to the income tax a few corrections, you currently start to pay 42% for income that exceeds 57.052€ (roughly 62.000 Dollars). Of course for the part of your income below this threshold you pay less than 42%, for the first 9408€ you pay no taxes and after that it increases until you reach the 57.052€ and the 42% for further income. There’s one more increase but that’s at 270.501€ for further income it would be 45%, but of course it’s more than unlikely that you earn more than the equivalent of 294.000 Dollars per year.

  7761. The very last part she spoke about was good to hear. The big thing about the US is individualism and everything revolves around the people. It also helps that we're a Capitalist country. The more money a company has the more successful they are. Customer service is very big here so the customer is satisfied with the company so they keep coming back which brings in more money for the company. I've dealt with some bad customer service here but not everything is going to be perfect. I'm overjoyed to see someone so enthusiastic about living here where I've seen natives here complain about the country. We LOVE that you're here!

  7777. Another one you might hear used in America is gestalt. And of course it's another one of those words which was borrowed from German as a professional term, not a word for everyday communication. And to be fair, at least a couple of these words actually came to US English via Yiddish.

  7794. Mich würden die Englischen Sprichwörter und Redewendungen interessieren. Was, was ich sehr oft benutze, ist, ‚that‘s not my cup of tea‘ (das ist nicht mein Geschmack/das gefällt mir nicht) Klar kann man nach Beidem googeln, aber vieles ist ja nicht so sehr in Gebrauch. Welches sind die am Häufigsten benutzten Redewendungen/Sprichwörter, die in den USA benutzt werden? Danke für ein klasse Video ihr Beiden! 😁👍

  7795. Keep doing what you are doing - Welcome to America - we also hate Nazis, just like you. We are growing , just like you are , We accept change, just like you (I hope) we are civil and organized and hate Trump, I hope you concur .

  7796. Got a lot of chuckles out of your response to the hit video on Germany. The guy attempts to be humorous but goes way over the top especially at the end. My visit to Germany in 2006 was wonderful. My first stereotype corrected was watching TV. American movies and "Hogan's Heroes" made me think the language was harsh, but in reality the lady on the news sounded hot. Bavaria was much cleaner than just about everywhere in the U.S.--I've been coast to coast. Our host was a German who I had previously met in Miami. All Germans we met were nice, I watched World Cup Football at a German family apartment, Germany lost to Italy as I recall. The family spoke little English yet they were awesome hosts and the experience was like an American Super Bowl party. I never experienced so much as a nasty look and did not see any graffiti until I saw a bit on the way to Lake Constance. Graffiti I think is more a big city thing we don't see much where I live in Florida's Space Coast. Frankly I liked Germany better than Cincinnati. But I know experiences differ and am happy to know you like it there. Thanks for the great video! I give it an A+ to the other's D-.

  7803. Interesting. I was surprised about your list. I think Handy is fine, it’s just the nickname for a mobile phone. I’m familiar with this from 1997 when I was living there and back then in the US we called them simply a “cell” or cell phone. Hey, gimme your cell or “do you have a cell?” It was distinct from referring to it as just a phone, which was a landline phone. Back then most Germans did not have landline phones to their apartments, they only had them if the had a house. By contrast, In the US almost everyone had a land line phone. Nowadays, when some one says phone, it almost assumes it’s a cell phone. No one calls it a cell anymore, it’s just a phone or mobile or smartphone or iPhone.

  7808. Great video, Felicia. I took note of many of these when I was living in Germany back in the 80s. Another one that I still to this day after 30 years of not speaking German on a regular basis is "natürlich" and "naturally". Even though they technically mean the same thing, they are used much differently. Germans say "natürlich" as in "well, naturally that is correct", whereas Americans and Brits both would say "of course" in the same way. For us to say "naturally" in such a context by itself would sound weird or condescending. Personally I love the German use of "natürlich" and want to say it all the time in my native English conversations. Even after three decades of not speaking German. Ich hab' leider viel verlernt. Eines Tages hoffe ich wieder nach Deutschland gehen. By the way, in your last example, "die in hell" would be considered more of a phrase rather than a sentence for both English and German.

  7813. We have a brand new house in Bayern that has screens built in that (manually) pull up and down. They have notches that catch at the bottom of the window. Incredibly helpful over the summer. Make your own ranch! 99% of it at American grocery stores are full of complete junk. I've found recipes just for ranch or there are some that start by making your own mayo (also highly recommend) then adding herbs and such that make it ranch (use avocado oil for either).

Which bearcat sporting events did you go to and which one did you enjoy the most? And will Cincinnati be your permanent home or are there other cities within Ohio, (yuk) or other states that you'd want to move to? CONGRATZ on hitting 50K, now its onto 100K. Great job and keep up the great videos.

For a suggestion like I mentioned in a different thread the difference of growing up in Bavaria and speaking suddeutsch vs Berliner deutsch ! In someways it's like two different languages. Anyway congratulations from one of your loyal supporters in California. You should seriously think about Patreon if that is something you want to consider. It would definitely make your channel grow! You have a lot of admirers! Tschüss

  7860. Felicia I love your videos and this wad no exception. I was stationed in Berlin from 1979 to 1981 and actually enjoyed living in Germany. I don't think anyone should criticize any country as they all have their own beliefs. I have lived in many states in the U.S. and there are even differences amongst them. I say live where you want and don't try to discourage anyone.

  7867. Ich finde es toll, dass du so ein Video machst und die vielen Falschbehauptungen über Deutschland aus der Welt schaffst! Das ursprüngliche Video klingt ja fast schon nach einem Progagandavideo vom Trumpe Donald gegen Deutschland. Und wenn der Typ im Video erklärt, dass die Deutschen WC sagen und er nicht weiß woher das kommt? Mhhh, vielleicht von englischen Wort water closet? Aber das sagt letztlich schon alles über den Typen aus

  7868. Thanks for taking this propaganda video to task. I appreciate that you did it in detail, looking up statistics, and giving personal 1st hand observations. Part of this video is political in tone, and misinforms people who are ignorant to begin with. The more I heard from this joker, the less I liked him. He's loud and noisome, and sounds like he comes from some backwards area; if you've ever seen the movie "Deliverance" you'll know what I mean by 'backwards area'.

  7872. I was stationed in Aschaffenburg during the 90's while in the Army and always wondered what German people actually thought of American soldiers in their town.

  7882. If you have a landlord who wants to be mailed a check, most, if not all, us banks will be willing to send that check out for you from your bank account. You can usually set this up online from a tab that says something like "bill pay" or "pay a person" This isn't an argument that the US doesn't use checks; it is why I, an American in my early 30s who gets paychecks directly deposited, rarely deal with checks directly and still have the same checkbook from when I opened my first checking account at age 16, I think.

  7887. Ich muß sagen, das ist das erste Mal, dass Ich so eine gute Analyse höre, von denen Fehler, die von Deutsch Muttersprachler so oft gemacht werden, die aber nicht von denen selbst erkannt werden. Ich glaube, das liegt teils daran, dass man in Deutschland sehr gut, aber sehr Lehrbuchmaßig Englisch (und andere Fächer) gelernt wird. Vor allem, deine Analyse von denen Lauten, die auf Deutsch "nicht existieren sollten", die aber doch schon da sind (wie z.B. "w" gegen "v") ist sehr gut, Hut ab! (Ich wieß wovon Ich spreche, Ich habe Deutsch als Fremdsprachenphilologie in Heidelberg studiert, und bin mit eiener Engländerin verheiratet), sehr gut!

  7888. Trust me top and bottom load is between house to house... HEY YOOOOO lma (But no seriously its a house by house basis... I had bottom till 3 years ago and Dry Cleaners ALWAYS have bottom load from my experience. As for the food part... I think it depends on the restaurant vs mom and pop shops. (Mom and pop shops are handled with care you get a good meal.... a Fastfood/restaurant "WE NEED TO COOK THIS NOW MAKE THEM PAY NOW SO THEY CAN EAT NOW!!" (not healthy lol) Most Americans have blinds that are on the inside and if they have blinds on the outside its usualy Rectangles facing outside towards the sidewalk Than when you close them the go from skinny and long to flat and cover everything ... Or they are a big blind you cover all at once. GREAT VIDEO... Love learning about foreing thins. (I think a guy is called "Japanese man Yuta") i love foreing perspectives on their country and our country to compare.

Rising Youtube girl! :-) Falls du mal wieder ein Video machst die Dinge die in Deutschland/US besser oder schlechter sind koenntest du die schlechten Schoesser and den Tueren in Amerika mit denen in Deutschland u Oesterreich vergleichen. Ich habe nie verstanden, warum ein Land mit relativ hoher Kriminalitaet Schloesser hat die man wirklich mit einem Fusstritt "knacken" kann. Das waere hier nie so leicht moeglich. Nur so eine Idee fuer evtl. ein Element in einem zukuenftiges Video.

  7912. Hi @Feli From Germany have you ever given any thought to either expanding this segment or partnering with someone? I feel like outside of Bavaria, there's really not a lot of information on different styles, accessories, what goes together and what doesn't? I did months of research before buying my most recent set to replace my old one. It'd be great to have a segment that really went into detail. Greetings from a subscriber and fellow Cincinnatian.
    1
  7913.  @FelifromGermany  yes, exactly, and also all of the different details. When I was shopping for my Lederhose I wasn't sure if I should get a belt or suspenders (turns out that some now don't even have buttons for Hosenträger) or buttons or ties for the legs, a vertical or horizontal butt seam. What style of shirt goes with different kinds? What about vests, socks, etc. It seems like there is no guide to these kinds of things the way there is for things like kilts for the Scottish.

  7925. I think Briggs was trying to make a political point about refugees and missed things like customer service. USA and Canada basically have it down. Speed limits on the Autobahn, how can someone control their car at 200 KpH? The metric system it's a pain to convert if you're used to the English system. How many milliliters in a pint of beer? Having acquaintances I don't want everyone to be my BFF or a stranger. Nice video, love the channel too.

One meaning that you are not man enough to take a cold shower and the other, you take orders from robot toilets. And yes, Schadenfreude is a very up and coming word in America. We say it thinking we've saved a complicated explanation but then have to give one anyway to explain what the word means.

Me: "No, New Zealand" Her: "But that's just Australia" Me: "Actually, it's a completely different country" Her: "No, It's just Australia" At this point I had to just walk away...... I have also had people ask me what language I speak in New Zealand. This has only happened twice. I think this is more understandable than someone asking what language they speak in Germany.

  7950. As a longtime multi-cat owner here in America I will speak about the two issues that you raised. I have had both indoor and outdoor cats. Even in Suburban areas where there aren't a lot of traffic there are other threats to outdoor cats. Especially around here there are a lot of stray dogs and I have had cats killed by stray dogs. Also there are feline communicable diseases out there that can be transmitted to other cats by stray cats. I have one cat that if she gets out she runs away and doesn't come back for a long time. People drive crazy around here and do not watch out for animals so that is another reason to not let them out. Also if you let your cat out around here, we have this group that goes around, steals any cat they see and tries to spay or neuter them and then clips their ears. So basically they do surgery on your cat without verifying whether it belongs to anyone. The other reason we have to keep cats indoors here is because people who run dog fights will steal them for bait. As far as the issue of declawing cats. Most animal lovers and cat owners I know would never do this because it is cruel and barbaric. This isn't common among cat lovers. The majority of cat lovers know that it is cruelty and will not have it done, and there are a lot of veterinarians who refuse to do it. As far as I'm concerned only selfish people do it.

  7951. Totally agree about AugustinerBrau im Munchen. I was there in 1976, it was the best beer. I traveled from Munster to Berlin to Nurnberg to Munchen then zum Salzberg. The Augustiner Brau was the best

  7954. i was born in Cincinnati and grew up there where my German ancestors had immigrated in the 1850s; my family's favorite German restaurant is Mecklenburg Gardens in Clifton across from University of Cincinnati Medical Campus. Feel their food is pretty authentic compared to food in Munich

  7966. These videos are great for people who might be visiting Germany. When I first went to Germany, all of us had to attend the “Headstart” program for like two weeks where we taught both the language and the culture. It was a good class; probably should have been longer, but in lieu of that, something like these videos are a good glimpse into the culture. Danke!

  7970. The tax point is wrong and I'm a shocked that you did not correct him. Literally, nobody pays 42% income tax! The system is a progressive tax system. 42% he mentioned, is for every € we earn ABOVE 56k€. I'm probably not able to explain a progressive tax system in English but it is like a ladder: You pay 0% for the first 9k you earn and have several steps up to the highest step: 56k€ and beyond where you pay 42%. Everyone who understand German can look it up here: https://www.bmf-steuerrechner.de/ekst/eingabeformekst.xhtml Others: Just put the yearly salary in the box, push "Berechnen" and you get a curve of your tax and a "Durchschnitts​belastung", which is your average tax. If you earn 60k€ (which is quite a good income in Germany), you pay about 27% taxes, 28,5% with the "Soli". But every Euro you earn MORE, is taxed with 42%. So if you get a rise for 100Euro, 42 of them goes to the tax.

  7974. Very interesting content. I'm an American Army Brat. Dad was stationed somewhere in Bavaria and met my German Bavarian mother as a young soldier there. They were married in Germany. My brother was born there in an American Military hospital. My mother is now a US Citizen and they live in North Carolina and have been married 66 years. I've visited Germany myself only once about 8 years ago and love Germany. I'm opposed to the huge American military industrial complex and the trillions it costs us, month that could be spent on healthcare for example, so I have mixed feelings about our presence in the world. At the end of the day I'm happy for the military there. Otherwise, I might not be here. LOL

  7978. Congrats on 50K, see you at 100k! I would suggest a little review of Mainstrasse Villiage across the river in Covington,Ky. Do some restaurant reviews and general info but with a slant of "insiders info" or where the locals would go rather that typical tourist stops. I did a brief drive thru on my way to Florida but would consider a longer stop with more qualified information.Love your content.

  7981. One alternative to Kacke am Dampfen/shit hit the fan is "Poland is open". Clearly refers to WW2 and with that extra negative connotation with the war something is really REALLY bad when that idiom is used. I find that quite fascinating. Like giving the meaning an extra boost of bad 😅

  7986. The northern part can actually be rather mild due to it being closer to sea level. Unless you speak of the north eastern part, where the cold winds sometimes blow from east. The southern regions are usually higher on average due to the topography which means higher chances for snow.

  7999. I will explain small talk, for those who don't get it: the surface level topic doesn't even matter; the point is to communicate TONE to the other person. And usually the tone is, "hi! I'm glad you're here!" But simply saying that is too obvious, plus it might sound insincere if you say it wrong. So instead you talk about sportsball. If we were all golden retrievers it'd be simpler; we'd sniff each other's butts and run in circles.

  8001. Individual reactions to opioids vary. I am fortunate that while I've had to use opioids several times for acute pain for relatively brief periods, I've had no desire to continue after the pain has passed. In fact, I am the one who begins weening myself off the drugs as the pain diminishes. At various times I have taken Demerol, Dilaudid, morphine, oxy and hydrocodone, and yes, fentanyl. In the case of fentanyl, I received it by IV for acute pain relief before emergency surgery, and recently, when I ruptured a blood vessel in my liver from coughing due to Covid - spent a month in hospital for that. The euphoria wave was tremendous and I told the doctors that I understood how some people could become addicted. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there is no way to screen people to identify those with a propensity to addiction prior to administrating them.

  8039. As an American, I definitely prefer gelato. I think the prevalence of "american-style ice cream" is attributable to two factors: 1. It's cheaper and 2. It's been around longer (at least as far as US availability). Re Spaghetti Eis -- it's just sooo cool! I remember getting it with my 4-year-old son in Berlin, we both were fascinated. We waited for the truck every day of the visit to order one!

  8043. I had a very similar experience last year, but with a twist. The feeling was exactly as you described from start to finish. My interviewer was nice (I was intimidated at first but he was extremely nice and made good conversation as well), and I felt almost normal afterwards although things obviously weren’t quite the same. There were about 60-80 people in the waiting room when I was there. But I was also running very late because I had showed up about 5 minutes early at the wrong Federal Building across town. The guards at that Federal Building told me to run because, apparently, the folks at the other Federal Building are extremely punctual, and others who went to the building where I showed up would burst into tears because being late generally meant you missed your interview. I had to race to the subway to get to a very similarly named building across town to make it to my interview. I got there more than 30 minutes late but thankfully they were still checking people in when I arrived, and I made it out the elevator just before they closed the doors for my scheduled appointment time. My interview and oath ceremony were at a Federal Building that houses the FBI in lower Manhattan. Very intimidating indeed!

When below 75F the temperature is sweaters go on; below 70F jackets; below 60F hats, coats and gloves; below 50 add scarves and wool socks to that boots if you have them; below 40F if we own it we wear it. It does not matter if it matches, we are trying to survive. So, welcome to Florida Feli!!! :-)

  8057. That was really interesting. You do quite a good job presenting your videos. I'm a lot older than most of your viewers. I'd say some things are different with people who are older esp with handwriting. and phone etiquette. I learned handwriting in school and still sort of do an abbreviated handwriting if I put something on paper. However, most of the nos and letters I would write the same way as most Americans. We were MJCH more polite on the phone, of course, I am not sure it's all our fault that things have gone downhill. Telemarketers and just spam calls mean there is a lot more junk phone calls. Most of my friends text. As for the bed. TRUE. Not changed either. I agree with Germans on this. I make a bed by tucking inn the bottom, but when I sleep it goes around me, esp if its' cold out.
    1
  8058. Interesting video, when I first got together with my husband I insisted we share a large duvet as thats what I know from growing up in Australia, but I also always use a top sheet, he used to kick the sheet to the side and I got sick of him stealing the blanket. So for several years now we have had separate duvets and actually I make my side of the bed with a top sheet and cotton blanket for summer and then only use the duvet in winter and he sleeps year round with the duvet. But we both sleep better that way. 😀 (He is the German btw).

  8060. Lidl is yet another one. Lidl has just started its US expansion, while it is now established strongly in the UK and Ireland. In English, people pronounce the name 'little' (the UK slogan = Shop a Lidl smarter). In German, it's pronounced 'leeeeeeeeedl' (notice the long 'eeeeeee' sound).

  8063. Hey Felicia... There are a few things you left out about alcohol in the U.S.A. . First, in addition to "dry" counties and "wet" counties, some states also have "damp" counties where you're allowed to possess and consume alcohol, but can't buy it. Second, there are some states that are socialistic about alcohol in that you are only able to buy alcohol in stores owned and operated by the state or county government. These vary from all things alcohol to only hard liquor. In Virginia, the commonwealth owned stores sell only hard liquor and Virginia wine, with other wines and beer sold in supermarkets, etc. In Pennsylvania, they have a three-tier system with stores and restaurants that sell six-packs of beer, "beverage distributors" that sell only cases of beer and some snacks, while the stores owned by the commonwealth sell hard liquor and wine. In Utah, the state government stores are the primary source of alcohol sales, although beer can now be found in some Walmarts. (One beer brewed in Utah is called "Polygamy Porter". It's sold with the slogan "Bring home some for the wives"!) Finally, there are more than a few p;laces in the U.S. where the beer ABV is limited to 3.2%... Another great video!

You are very good at this and come across as a friendly and likeable from your smile to your easily understandable, almost no accent voice. Thank you for all your time and hard work you put in to make these fun vidoes. Danke Schoen!! As for what next, I just want you to keep doing what you do so well, insights and maybe a bit more about life in Deutschland and why 2 names, lol. Anyway, just keep doing what you do so well and as always................. STAY GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  8082. I do find that Germans dress very warmly! I lived there for university and it was not very cold yet, but people were wearing gloves and scarves. I found it so strange and thought that they must be so warm! But I also find that in Europe in general, buildings are kept very very warm in the winter. It is almost unbearably hot and stuffy inside. Maybe Americans are just used to cold air conditioning 😅 Thanks for posting, Felicia!

  8105. Dark is one of my all-time favorite shows! My teenage sons and I like it so much, while we were in Berlin in April we went to three of the filming locations for Dark - the church - Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf, the bridge - Königsweg Brücke and the high school - Reinfelder Schule. It was so fun to visit these places. I have watched several of the shows you mentioned and do have to recommend Babylon Berlin. It's a great show too. Some other German shows that I really enjoyed (some are on Prime, others on Netflix) include Generation War ( Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter), Dogs of Berlin, Line of Separation (Tannbach) and the Charité series. One thing I've noticed, a lot of the same German actors are in a lot of these shows. Nothing wrong with that, they're all great actors!!!

  8107. The taxes thing is still wrong. With 50k€ you do not pay 40% of taxes you pay essentially 24.28% (https://www.imacc.de/einkommensteuersatz-steuersatz-berechnen-deutschland/). The confusion comes often from the fact that the Grenzsteuersatz is higher than the effective tax. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenzsteuersatz 40% is in this case the tax rate for the highest tax bracket for all the income. The rest is lower. The first 11000€ are tax free. Then you start with 15% with is the quickly going up to 25% and then in a slower pace to 42%. All the other parts of the "tax" are insurance contributions for health, retirement, care etc. which you could not rate as taxes, as these things have to be paid privately in the US. Anyway, thanks for making this video. I also saw the original and though what a summary of fake news and misinformation. Looks like he has some sort of anti EU agenda or is completely misinformed and has no problem with it.

  8110. Hi Felicia! May I say that I'm Bavarian, too? The only soft cookies, or Plätzchen, I got here were from a supermarket and were marked as "American style". And indeed, they were pretty American. Not like the real thing, but close enough.

  8119. Hi Felicia, what a great collaboration with you and NALF! Please do more videos like these! I think Germany is a great country and I love structure and rules, especially when it is beneficial for everyone involved. Because Germany focuses on quality of life for all their people, it is high on my list of countries to live, 2nd only to Switzerland (in my opinion 😉). I agree with both of you, we Americans are friendly. Yes, sometimes our friendliness can come off as superficial. However, in harmony with what both of you said, it does depend on the person and the circumstances. Although, I'm not a person who does a lot of talking, I do smile often at people, whether I know them or not, because I'm a very nice person. Also, I really do care about people, so my niceness is never perceived as phony or fake. It's the real thing!🥰 Thank you, Felicia, please stay well🖐

  8122. Taco Bell is this vegetarian's refuge too! (I've always preferred black beans or lentils as a ground beef substitute.) I've followed a vegetarian diet since 2003. Tried going vegan once, but I'm half French, and giving up cheese and butter proved to be impossible. I'm really, really surprised by the statistics on meat consumption in Germany. Pleasantly surprised.

  8129. yea the same thing happened to me 40 years ago from a bike crash. Had the surgery pins inserted no plate. For 6 months afterwards if I bumped my wrist against something I would get a burning sensation for about 10 seconds which would go away. In my 70's now only ill effects I have is my hand ,will get numb after riding my bike for over an hour this has been recent so it may be more due to the aging process. I am sure surgery techniques have improved since then best luck with your procedure.

  8130. Chef. How is "beamer" on this list, but not chef? When I learned about this it blew my mind. 😂 And it can cause super confusing situations. A former colleague of mine (we were in customer support together) was talking to a customer on the phone and his exact words were: "My chef will recall you." His English was not really the best and to this day I wonder if the person on the other end was as perplexed as I imagined, since our company doesn't do any cooking, we're a telecommunication company (I still work at the same company, but in another area). To whom it may concern: "Chef" in German means "boss". So, he was talking about our then boss. Now, recall, that one is a bit tricky. I think he thought of this word for two reasons. 1. "To call someone" is a phrase you learn in school. 2. "re-" has an air of "repetition" or "again". In addition, a number of German casting shows call their second auditioning round "the recall" - for whatever reason, I never really understood that, but this set people's minds on connecting the word "recall" with getting back to someone, if that makes any sense. So, yeah, my colleague was trying to explain to the customer that our boss would be calling him back. 😅

  8140.  @FelifromGermany  So what is the German word for raccoon? And what is the literal translation into English? I had a friend share your fairy tale video with her German friend, and the German friend said she also learned the German versions as a kid instead of the Disney versions.

Austrian here, my favorite was always The Little Mermaid, where she not only looses her voice but also feels like her feet are pierced by needles every step she takes, and at the end has to choose between killing the prince or dying by jumping into the sea and turning into sea foam (spoiler altert: she dies, and if I remember correctly, she does it while her sisters are watching too)

  8151. Feli: ich habe gerade 2 Kinder im „Märchenalter“ und die Geschichten, die man heute in Österreich/Deutschland zu kaufen bekommt (bei den typischen Verlagen, Ravensburger etc), sind immer noch nahe am Original. (Also bis auf Dornröschen; und Aschenputtel weicht auch eher stark vom Original ab, insbesondere zum Ende: kein toe-cutting, kein hot-shoe-dancing...) Hast Du die kleine Meerjungfrau bewusst ausgelassen? („Arielle“ hat ja mit dem HC Andersen Original auch nur bedingt was zu tun...)

  8170. Enjoyed the video, I had no idea that the Autobahn had speed limits before I went thru a culture intro course while being stationed in the Military in Germany, didn't know that so many Germans visited Spain but not so suprising considering how pretty it is there, one of my favorite places to go when I lived in Germany was Luxembourg city, great bars and dance clubs.

  8173. She could read the ingredients off of a can of Chef Boyardee ravioli and it would put me in a good mood. Interesting to hear the different takes on our cultures. Wondering about your return trips to Germany. Have your friends noticed your differences in social circumstances? If so, has it become an issue? Also, I was never aware of the bed issue. Perhaps sleeping in the "tucked-in" variation saves us time in making the bed in the morning. Assuming that folks actually make their bed.

  8179. Hi ich komme aus Nordeutschland (ein Dorf in der Nähe von Bremen) und ich habe noch nie von einer Heißen Schockoladen Suppe mit Schlagsahne gehört. Das einzige was mir dazu einfällt ist Milchsuppe, das sind Nudeln in Milch aufgekocht und ordentlich Zucker drin, aber ich weiß nicht ob das speziell Norddeutsch oder allgemein deutsch ist. Ich glaube die Milchsuppe gibt es auf jeden Fall auch in NRW.

Some of your observations might be uncomfortable but you are so fair about it that there is no agenda! Great education for us in the States. What’s your play back home? I’m always interested in what you have to say especially that you have a positive opinion of us. Everyone likes to be appreciated.😃

  8191. Hi Felicia! Danke ihnen für dieses Video. In den 90er Jahren habe ich als "Ami expat" in Deutschland gelebt und für eine Deutsche Firma gearbeitet. Dort sind meine 2 Söhne geboren (Jahrgänge 1994-1996) und aufgewachsen (ihre Mutter ist Deutsche). Während dieser Zeit habe ich viele schöne Dinge in Deutschland erlebt. Eins davon ist wie die Deutschen Weihnachten feiern. In Amerika feiern wir eigentlich nur den Tag "Christmas Day." In Deutschland feiert man eine Weihnachtszeit. Und die fehlt mir sehr. Um die Weihnachtszeit halbwegs anständig zu feiern habe ich, zusätzlich zu einem Tannenbaum, auch einen Adventskranz. Die Süßigkeiten, die Sie im Video erwähnt haben, sind nicht leicht in Südkalifornien zu finden. Neulich wurde ein Aldi in der Nähe eröffnet. Vielleicht kriege ich doch einen Weihnachtsstollen? Ihnen einen schönen 2. Advent!

  8193. I'm Canadian. I've only ever been to a few places in the US (pretty much the drive from Buffalo, NY to Hilton Head Island, SC). A lot of it was nice, a lot of it was not. I have never been to Germany or even Europe for that matter. Based on this video alone, I would MUCH rather move to Germany than I would the US. Some of his arguments against Germany I actually found as a positive (especially A/C and better environmental standards). BTW, been loving your videos, I think I've binge watched them all in the last week! Thanks for the content!

  8195. Thanks for correcting Briggs' video. I am really astonished at what reasons he conjured up and how he could just cherry pick random "facts" and anecdotes and publish them without doing a proper fact check or putting things into proper perspective, like comparing them to the whole of the country, the whole of german society as it is today, or comparing them to situations in other countries. Not sure if there was a certain motive behind it or if he just doesn't know how to critically fact check and do research. It was probably to fill a top 10 list, that YouTube loves so much.

  8200. Yes, I have grabbed a hat, put on a wrinkled tshirt and gone to the store, but I do find it tacky when people go to the store in what I would consider pajama pants. I tried to convince one of my bosses the comma in the number thing, but she just did not understand it, and I did not want to argue. Living near the downtown area of a small city I am starting to walk to more places; especially now that my car is broken. A continuing series of videos like this would be great. You can mix in other stuff so you wont get bored. Thanks

  8202. I got to go to Grafenwoehr with my reserve unit in October and November of 1994. I didn't think the weather was that cold. There was snow on the ground when we got there. I don't think it snowed the rest of the time I was there. Those temperatures he's talking about sound more like South Korea where it got down to -30°C in the Winter. Now that's cold. Minnesota cold. Which is where I spend most of my time now 😊 Fun video. I stopped watching Brigg's videos a while ago. I think they get off bashing places they've never been to.

  8205. Congrats on 50k. You deserve it because you provide much value for people and people appreciate that. One thing that I think would be cool in the future is maybe seeing you immerse yourself in another culture and show us your journey as you explore it, learn the language, and eventually make some cultural comparisons to Germany and America.

Observed social distancing, wore masks, and avoided areas of the town where there were large crowds of people. We had a blast. I am glad you are enjoying the States. I'll be traveling to Munich once everything opens back up. I cannot wait.

  8214. I'm Dutch, I have heard of the word, but not often :p and in Dutch there is no word for it to translate it directly, you would use several ways and words to do it like in German. As far as I know this is not a feature that is much considered by anyone in regards to attraction in NL. The face in general, yes, eyes definetely! Legs, arms, hair even but jawlines will need some explanation :D

  8220. I would go for a German style mug. Almost anything that was German culture themed, that way I know it's authentic and not what someone imagined them to be. Also, this might be a strange one, but I'd love to get one of the candle Holiday wreaths you spoke of awhile back. I really did love the German traditions and would love to have one for the Holidays this yr. Maybe stickers or mugs saying thx for being a part of 50k? I'd go for hoodie or anything personal. Maybe a ty note with each purchase? You could include a translated German word for us to learn hehe. You could make your own kid coloring books with you as the German girl in America theme. Would do well for people with kids at home during these times. I have a ton of ideas. Sorry if they sound crazy.

  8223. Kleo probably doesn't claim to teach German to any specific level. But, what's the highest level CONTENT (on the CEFR scale) that this app DRAWS upon? Please, reply: app reviews don't include this info! And say 'Hi' to Josh for me! Love 'Speaking Train Station', but not the title! Consider: 'Beyond Train Station'. I think it describes the goal of the channel much better! How's that for German directness? : )

  8224. i love how in french the german idiom "einen frosch im hals haben" (having a frog in your throat) which is this constant feeling of needing to clear your throat, is called "avoir un chat dans la gorge" (having a cat in your throat). i'm not aware of a similar english idiom though.

  8244.  @FelifromGermany  exactly ! Für die Amis ist es wie lang vermißte geliebte Verwandte wieder zu treffen, für uns wie verhaßte Verwandte möglichst vermeiden wollen... - Die Szene im Einkaufszentrum ging dann noch weiter : hatte mich von der freudigen Warmherzigkeit irgendwie spontan anstecken lassen und dann im selben " Stil " mit dem auf mich zu krabbelnden Kleinkind kommunizieren wollen - und sofort einen eisigen ( ! ) Blick von der deutschen Mutter geerntet, die das dann auch sehr schnell unterbunden hat - denn Fremde sind doch eher potenziell gefährlich, gell...

  8253. Hot chocolate soup is actually a Eastern German thing. It was served to me (born in the GDR) all the time during Kindergarten and primary school - not for breakfast though, but for lunch. It is basically like a very thin chocolate pudding served with "Knäckebrot" (crisp bread)
    1
  8254. I have seen a lot of videos like this. None seemed to be so spot on and current as this one though. Good job! Especially the stuff about "nice" and "safe", I didn't even consciously notice it, but now that you mention it, I think you're absolutely correct, and you explained it rather well, too.

  8255. I feel like "I just missed you"... Although born in NY, I grew up in Cincinnati through all of my school years, including a degree at U.C. (Go Bearcats!) Moved to Charlotte, NC after; when Northerners were still considered "Damn Yankees." Found your YT Channel after meeting a couple from Bad Reichenhall and considering a trip in the. ear future. Flew out of MUC on my way to the States from North France in June. ** Funny, how Zinzinnati is originally a German establishment.

  8263. I grew up in southwestern and southeastern states (of the US) and everybody except Asians wore their shoes inside the house. Then I lived in upstate New York for 9 years and nobody there wore their shoes inside. I believe it was because it snows so much there which makes your shoes too dirty to wear inside. Now I'm back in the south and my wife is Asian and we go barefoot inside, but of most of our neighbors wear their shoes inside, but many of them moved here from up north and take theirs off. I assumed Cincinnati was north enough, relatively speaking, that they would not wear shoes inside, but I guess not. I wonder what's common in Cleveland where they probably get a lot more snow?

  8269. @FelifromGermany  Just type in the Youtube search bar María Jesús y su Acordeon - "El Baile de los Pajaritos" and you'll find it. It's a woman singing with an accordion. Idk if she's the one who wrote the Spanish lyrics, but I think she's the better-known one out of those who sing it.

I used to go often but my new job requires a lot of travel......I would love to see a video on Cincy Deutsch.....also love the idea of German heritage in Cincy. After all, that’s how come I live in the area

  8287. A common kitchen thing in Quebec Canada, but more in old houses an rural areas, We have wood fire oven/stove to cook. Thats make sense here because alot of houses are heated up by wood furnace in winter due to harsh temperature (cost less than hydro electric when it's like -10°C to -50°C outside) So wood for your furnace and wood for your stove and that heat up your house aswell!

  8288. You have such good diction and say your words completely which is wonderful. Along with your enthusiasm smile and beautiful green eyes you can easily mesmerize people. Also the way you express ideas is so polite because it seems to be accepting of everyone's differences. I am finding myself looking forward to seeing your next videos Every time I get on. Thanks again for doing such good informative videos. I took 1 years of German in high school and the teacher made it fun for us so I remember a lot of words. Have a good day. Doug

  8299. As an American, I agree that the whole being rushed to eat at a restaurant could be annoying but I have been a server before and the reason we give you your check right away is because the faster we get people in and out and have more tables to serve, the more money we make a day in tips. In the south (I live in Tennessee) restaurant only pay their servers $2.75 an hour (which all goes to taxes) so the money we live off of is ONLY the tips we make. It would be nice for servers to be paid hourly and allow their tables to take as long as they want to eat. THEN AGAIN maybe thats why Europe countries have a lot worse customer service lol

  8302. Awesome Feli, I am so glad you enjoyed your road trip to Boston and NYC, your channel was reccomend some months back to me and I have found it very insightful and amusing and it has also made me miss Cincy and a 5 way at Skyline and Maiback Bockbeir or a Hefe at Hofbruahaus, I miss my home region sometimes and you shed light on it , you may not realize it but you are a Cincianntian... I live and work for the Natioal Park Service in Yellowstone Natioal Park and truly live in heaven, but home is truly home . I miss it some times but channels like yours bring me back...imagine that!! A girl from Munich Germany remind me of my German roots in Cincinnati... go figure.. on a side note any time you want to experience the Rockys or Yellowstone's wonders let me know you have a place to stay and a base to plan your adventures from. This is truly amazing country. Just let me know.

  8307. Idee für noch ein Video: Es gibt bestimmt Dinge, die ihr nicht versteht und vielleicht auch niemanden in eurem Umfeld so direkt fragen wollt. Meine Erfahrung mit anderen Ländern und Kulturen ist, dass es immer ein paar Dinge gibt, die man nach egal wie viel Zeit und Gesprächen einfach immer noch nicht versteht. Gibt es sowas bei euch? Ich fänds super spannend euch über solche Dinge reden zu hören. Ideenaustausch.

  8321. Im Sauerland (NRW) benutzen wir das Wort "Steini" für eine spezielle Art von Bierflasche. Das ist die 0.33l Bierflasche , die etwas breiter ist und nicht so hoch und ein paar Wellen drin hat. Ich habe grade danach gegoogelt und die Bezeichnung kommt, wie könnte es für Deutschland anders sein, aus der Norm DIN 6199 („Normblatt für die Bierflasche Steinieform 0,33-l“).

  8326. So, I'm from NY but living in Germany's junior neighbor, Austria. In my opinion, Americans should never complain about the harshness of the winters in Central Europe. Has this guy ever been to Minnesota? To the Dakotas? To Upstate NY? The winters in Germany and Austria are mild in comparison!

  8327. You're up burning the midnight oil! I don't see any of those things that would keep me from living there other than maybe a couple such as the high taxes. A lot of the stores here in the U.S used to be closed on Sundays especially in smaller towns and communities, that's the way the community I grew up in was. And most towns and cities here in the U.S have noise ordinances(laws) about being noisy or being disruptive especially at night. Even though you're from Germany I can tell that you put a lot more time and effort into your research than he did and you were more honest and non bias about it. Really enjoyed this video Felicia! And it was actually kinda nice having a longer video. Hope that you and your family are doing well with everything going on in this terrible time.

  8329. Thank you for correcting this uncultured F'ing S'heel. It seems like this guys whole aim was to discredit Germany for having a better policy on immigration. It's a whole lot of aspousals and not a lot of research. Thank you again for your honest videos and light hearted demeanor. Salute!

  8332. It's more of a story about "Dick" in German. When I lived in Germany, there was a treat you could buy called "Super Dickmann" which was a Marshmallow treat covered in chocolate. Without fail, every time a new American came around, they would see these things in German stores and get the giggles.... some people can never grow up!

  8344. I know what you mean about the bread. I only live about 100 miles from the area I grew up in, but the food is soooo different. One thing that I love that I just can't get where I live is REAL Italian bread. It is so hard on the outside that you can knock on it, but the inside is light an fluffy. My mother-in-law always gets it from the Italian bakery for family meals and when I am in town she buys an extra loaf for me to take home.

  8349. Spot on with the comparison between the two countries/cultures. While I am not a huge soccer fan I did attend 7 soccer matches in Germany at different levels. In Frankfurt Am Main and in Giessen (Hesse). The enthusiasm of the fans was limited to in and around the stadium and the public transportation areas. Prior to moving to Tampa, I held season tickets for football at The Ohio State University. Nothing compares to a Saturday afternoon in Ohio Stadium. Thanks for sharing your viewpoints.

  8367. My Opa was from Hamburg (didn't understand why the Americans laughed when he first told them he was a Hamburger)! He left Germany right before WWII broke out and was so ashamed of his homeland's actions that he renounced his German citizenship. I recently found out that had he not done this, I could have dual German and American citizenship. It would be interesting for me to hear about pathways to citizenship in both directions. You may not be an immigration expert, but you know more than most and your insight would be interesting. Congrats on 50k!

  8380. Definitely make a video on how to do the German accent. As a German that came to the US at 21, learning British English in school, having done an exchange year in Canada, and now having lived in the US for 16 years, I don’t know how to do a good German accent anymore.

  8382. Your content is cool and unique! I agree that honesty is more important than being polite, even if honesty hurts people's feelings. Passive-aggressive behavior does not look good for anyone. Also, driving in NY (mostly on our State Highways outside of the big city) is a lot like driving on the Autobahn in Germany, based on what you described.

It’s not too fun, but of course there are worse things that can happen. I love your videos! I’ve watched you a lot since discovering the channel recently. You are absolutely adorable, with or without two good arms! I love your smile, your energy, and your positive attitude. Please keep posting as often as you can, given the difficulty of shooting and editing... but take care of yourself too. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences—you’re wonderful!

  8396. Enjoyable video! I loved your reactions. None of those reasons (of the truthful ones) deter me, not even the high taxes! A lot of people in the US have an innate fear and distrust of taxes, and simply LOVE criticizing countries that have higher taxes and more social programs as if they are inherently undesirable. It's just a cultural thing when it boils down to it. A bubble view that is hard to burst out of, in order to objectively look at the larger picture. Interestingly, a handful of the top 10 HAPPIEST rated populations on Earth, also have some of the highest taxes and would be considered by many to be "socialist" (which is certainly an evil word to most Americans). Significant corruption will spoil ANY form of government, but higher taxes do not automatically make a country a bad place to live.

  8407. One more grammatical hint: German people also often use nouns where a person speaking English is likely to use verbs (and sometimes adjectives) - "the usage of nouns is a more common custom among Germans than English speakers".

  8412. Congratulations, Felicia, on your "milestone" or maybe "kilometerstone" of 50,000 subscribers. I understand that it was not your goal to achieve a number so high, but it is also not any where as high as a few YouTubers who have more than 100,000 or even 1,000,000. You are now at a crossroads, or, a "fork in the road." Many folks want to become YouTube stars and have a career on YouTube, or, a career that is launched from YouTube. I don't think that is what you want, but who knows? As one of your fans or subscribers, I pick and choose what I like to watch on YouTube. I am not "monogamous" and watch your channel ONLY. I do watch a series of similar channels where the person is from another nation talking about their lives in Iceland, Norway, or other places. I also subscribe to RV travel channels, food channels, Religious channels, etc. While I find you to be a sweet and attractive young woman, I don't tune in because you are pretty. I enjoy your perspective on life as an Amero-German or Germanic-American, or whatever you end up being. I enjoy your outlook, your voice, your smile, and your take on things. I don't care what you put on your channel, and if I want to know more about something, I can go into the past and watch a previous video. I don't think that I would buy merchandise. Some women do makeup tutorials; not my style. Other women share TMI about their sexual lives, past and present. Not something I'd be looking for. Others do fashion shows about dresses and swim suits. Nah. You could share your history of relationships, and that may be interesting. Or, your favorite subjects in education. Your own personal fashion, but not an ongoing series of clothes. Your channel is popular because of what you present, and, because of who YOU are and how you present things. Well, that's all for now. Hugs. - Dr Dave, Tucson.

  8413. Hi i really enjoyed your analysis in this video. You have defended and corrected false beliefs about your home state. Please share the names of places, areas with mild climate/snow free areas of germany in winter season.

  8414. I have had some autobahn experience and i have driven so much around the US. Orlando Florida is really bad for traffic and driving. Atlanta has been scary for me! But 2 of my scariest moments ever were in Ohio!! Traffic was speading up and coming to immediate halts! Like cars were going off the road to avoid crashing. And this was two separate ocassions. Autobahn traffic, even when going faster feels safer. Congrats on numbers! I like your channel!

  8415. National Socialism is a radically anti-Semitic, racist, ultra-nationalist, völkisch, social Darwinist, anti-communist, anti-democratic and anti-pluralist ideology. Parts of the AfD are certainly right-wing extremist and are being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. It is likely that they will be banned in the next four years. Why? Because they violate our constitution. Only democratic parties are allowed to practise democracy. And National Socialists are against democracy ;-)

  8421. I enjoy your videos, Felicia. If you get a chance to visit Columbus we have very nice metro parks and German Village is very nice too. Pistacia Vera for coffee and pastries, Schiller Park to walk, Schmidt's for good German food and atmosphere, Grandview Heights Sauf's to hang out and drink more coffee or have breakfast or lunch, and Jenny's Ice Cream shop is next door. Highbanks is my favorite park for running or hiking. I always wanted to go to Germany, maybe someday. I hope you are well! Tschüss!

  8423. there is a saying in germany related to Martin Luther, who once asked his people after a dinner:"Warum furzet und rölpset Ihr nicht, hat es Euch nicht geschmecket?"...which means."Why arent you farting and burping, dindnt you enjoy the meal?"...but to be honest, to behave in that manner is really not very popular ;)

  8441. Very entertaining video. They don't teach a handful of these words, even in college courses, so I learned from this. One of my favorite discoveries early on while learning German was that "Gift" means poison. It has German origin and isn't TAKEN from the English language, just spelled the same, but still interesting. So if you handed a non-English speaking German a box and said "I got you a gift."... They might not want to open it lol

  8445. Great video... most Americans are misled into wanting this genital reduction for their boys. Did you know that Circumcision amputates about 20,000 sex nerve endings. The foreskin is the most sensitive erogenous part of the natural penis. Watch this link to an anatomical study of the nerve structure within the foreskin https://youtu.be/6lJBMYR2Epw Circumcision harm's genital sensitivity and the natural lubricated gliding sleeve action of foreskin and is done deliberately by religions and cultures that embrace genital reduction surgery to numb the full sexual experience and theoretically reduce the sins of the flesh. Circumcision is forced on prepubescent boys before they are old enough to discover the pleasures of masturbation with their self lubricating gliding sleeve action foreskin. They will also have a lifetime of reduced quality orgasm because most of the nerves connected to the pleasure centre of the brain are amputated. Imagine removing half the instruments from an orchestra and you can still hear the tune but you cannot enjoy the full orchestral experience. Only circumcised societies believe that circumcision is more hygienic or has health benefits and many false myths are propagated by these pro circumcision people who are ignorant of the basic principles that form follows function and amputating genital parts is always about attempts to harm sexual pleasure.

  8446. Hey I just discovered your channel and I find it incredibly interesting and fun. You have such a great personality and skill for this type of material.

  8457. I don't know how I got here. Youtube has a real weird algorithm in place... But now I'm here and interested! I live on a state line between two cites. I worked in one state for many years, now I have been working in the other state for many years. The economic, social, and political differences between the two cities is extreme and for me at least I feel as if I've been in two different countries. Some years things are so vastly different in the two places I feel as if this is what it would be like to live on two different planets. I have family and friends in both states, and one summer there was a fuel shortage and mass layoffs in one state... The other had everything as usual and didn't even know there was a gasoline crisis just a 100 miles away. Saying all this to say... Comparing "countries" sounds great and I've learned a lot from this. Thank you. But, altitude and geography and individual cities matter! A LOT of these points could be said about the northern states in America and the southern states. The weather is vastly different! The murder and crime rate varies from state to state. The same thing I'm sure can be said for north Germany weather and south Germany weather. The biggest sticking points seem to be death and tax numbers, but my friends from Germany don't site any of these reasons for living here or there. My friend who moved back last summer did so because of friends, family, and job opportunity. (My current employer has a large presence in both countries) None of them have even brought up graffiti on the walls in the capital or air conditioning. In America, a store owner had graffiti removed from the side of his store, and he got sued by the vandals because it was "art" and the store owner had to pay the vandal for taking his "art" down. At least in Germany they can still fine the vandals!

  8464. Pools - that is so funny! I am from the US and live in Rheinland-Pfalz now. I actually think there are more public pools in Germany, but maybe it is because of where we live. Where we lived in the US, either there are no public pools in rural areas, or they are overcrowded in urban areas! Mexican food - 100%. It's so weird here, if it exists at all. We miss Colorado for Mexican food! Love your channel. ❤

  8466. My niece graduated from UCLA with a double major with one in global studies. The other was basically German studies. She was an exchange student for a semister and went to live with a family in Bavaria. She made friends with several German students who came to the US conversly. She got a Masters from a private university in Phoenix and now lives in SoCal. She may have an opportunity to relocate to Germany with work. It seemed that she really liked the experiences. I appreciate your Blog. Just thought that I would share.

  8476. Wonderful video!! We have an office in Germany and I love learning these little cultural differences for things other than what I see or hear in the office with our German colleagues. I think I picked up the strike through the Z and 7 from the US Army. When writing out messages I received on the radio we would write the Z for Zulu time (UTC) with a strikethrough and the 0 had a line from top right to bottom left. Things like that. So to me a 7 or Z with line through it seems normal to me. At home we always take our shoes off and we mostly wear slippers or just socks in the house. I love how you call them house shoes. I am going to call them that now. I leave a set at a friend's house as we go there weekly and take our shoes off and put on house shoes to walk around his house. :)

  8478. Thank you for this video and pretty showing most of their errors. I love Germany. I used to be in international sales and Germany was a large portion of my sales. I traveled their on multiple occasions and still have some friends that I made while doing business and traveling there. I didn't experience most of what this list noted ( has this guy ever been to Minnesota in the winter?). Off topic, but I am always very fascinated by people that learn another language and can speak it with very little accent or none at all. While speaking English do you have to concentrate on avoiding an accent? Or has it become natural to you? I love your channel and your magnificent smile. You're a natural in front of a camera.

  8481. Liebe Feli, vielen Dank für dein sehr gut recherchiertes und vorgetragenen Video. Du gibst dir immer sehr viel Mühe. Ich hoffe, die nicht so schönen Kommentare zum Thema halten sich in Grenzen. Es ist schlimm für sehr viele Menschen. Die Temperaturen sind mittlerweile bei 0°C angekommen und sollen kommende Woche deutlich unter Null fallen, hier in München. Ich habe eine 2-Zimmer-Wohnung und eine Gas-Etagenheizung über die auch mein warmes Wasser läuft. Ich hatte dieses Jahr deutlich weniger verbraucht als im Vorjahr. Aber anstatt nun entsprechend eine geringer Pauschale zu zahlen wurde diese von bisher 83€ auf nun ab Dezember 434€ hochgesetzt! Das ist mehr als das 5-Fache! Ich habe von mir selbst aus nun die Heizung inkl. Warmwasser stillgelegt. Ich sitze in der kalten Bude und Dusche dann auch so. Soll ja gesund sein. Auch wenn die Regierung ganz in sozialistischer Tradition die Dezemberrate übernimmt und danach 80% übernehmen will, ist es für mich persönlich als Altenpfleger immer noch untragbar. Ich bin nicht der einzige Ratlose in dieser Situation. Ich denke mittlerweile ernsthaft über eine Auswanderung in ein Land nach, wo man nicht mit Gas heizen muss bzw. am besten gar nie. Hatte schonmal in Zentralamerika für ein paar Jahre gelebt. Aber dann muss man das halt auch finanzieren können. Aber Gott wird mir Weisheit geben.

  8486. So, if you are not a democracy, why do you elect senators, members of house and congress & governors, judges and sheriffs? You realize, that the attributes 'Republic' and 'Democracy' aren't mutually exclusive, that in fact, I know of not a single country, that claims to be a republic doesn't also claim to be democratic?

  8488. That's interesting because in English, there is a similar word to Fabrik, which basically means the same thing that the German word does, fabricate=to make, but fabric probably originates more with what it is made of.

  8489. Just as New Orleans celebrates Mardi Gras, so does Mobile, Alabama. Both cities follow the traditions in Germany but with an American twist. I think the tradition of tossing cheap necklaces from the floats to the crowd is the biggest thing at Mardi Gra and the people compete to see who has the most and the fanciest.

  8492. I love this youtube posting. I lived in Berlin, and went from there to the Appalachian Hills (not so far from Cincinnati though one could say a universe away. I had such confusion coming to the United States, for instance why isn’t the first floor, the first floor? This was so confusing for me as a young man. One thing the US does better is “In n Out” burger. I purchased some of those shirts for my cousins in nephews in Germany, I don’t think they appreciated it very much. What is so interesting to me is that it wasn’t until I came to the United States that someone told me of the great heritage Germany has in philosophy and thought ideals (OK Marx was an anomaly in my view). Germany itself does not “imbibe” in the pride of heritage, though if you bring up engineering, they bristle if you do not acknowledge they are most excellent in that field. Thanks for an interesting conversation.

  8494. Smoking Jacket had been a somewhat commonly used phrase in the US decades ago, but had almost entirely died out when I was growing up in the 80s, probably part of the downward trend in smoking popularity in the US and it increasingly being banned. It seems with the decline in popularity they likely started just be lumped in with traditional form of Sports Jacket/Coat, which ironically seems a bit of a misnomer as most modern sports apparel that are coats are very different styles and material.

  8495. Also Felic die Johanna Haarer Nummer stimmt bis in die 1960 ziger, auf Youtube kannst Du eine Doku des BR über die Tochter von Frau Dr. Haarer finden. Ansonsten kann ich Dir in Deinen Ansichten nur Zustimmen, unter das Bricks Video habe ich die Bitte um eine Quellenangabe gepostet (für seine Kriminalitätsstatistiken) aber keine Antwort bekommen. Wie auch immer ist halt ein Klickfalle und irgendwie muss der ja auch sein Geld für die anstehende Corona Behandlung in den Staaten zusammen bekommen.

  8514. I became a subscriber yesterday. You have like almost zero German accent when you speak English. You must have a talent with languages. Anyhow, when you commented that would like to raise your kids in Germany, to me you said it all. :-). I went to Frankfurt twice in 1997 for work reasons and I absolutely loved it. I have visited Spain several times and have friends there and visited London one time. All 3 countries have some kind of common European feel to them, that I love. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, U.S.A. and lived in California and Texas. I would love to live in Europe for a while or maybe forever, specially after I retire.

  8515. On the freedom of speech front: Claiming Germans do not have free speech because they cannot deny the Holocaust is like saying Americans don't have free speech because we cannot yell out "FIRE!" in a crowded theater (an actual lawsuit that did come up).

  8522. I've been living in the U.S. for 7 years now and still occasionally struggle with the use of collective and uncountable words (cue "data", which I have to use frequently) in writing. Pretty sure I also mess up the v-sound every once in a while. Another common mistake not mentioned in the video: the "th" (oh, how fun it was to practice that sound in English class :D). Germans may pronounce it as "s" or "d", and when I don't pay attention, on occasion, I will be in the "d" camp :'D

  8526. So I'm replying to my own comment since I've never "super thanked" anyone, did it wrong, and my official comment was a really clever "Thanks!" I've really enjoyed your content and good nature for the last few years (I watch from a SmartTV so I don't think my main ID is my subscriber name but yes, years!) I appreciated how you kept the comments on the situation friendly and kind - don't change! Who knows what the story is on the other side! I look forward to continuing this adventure with your channel! Best wishes!

  8535. I was raised in England and it's really strange as England is in the middle. For instance tucking in etc, it seems really really old fashioned to do that, it's what my Granny used to do with her sheets. My parents used to say tucking in, but it's like a phrase now as everyone has duvets not sheets and you don't tuck in duvets. Also our handwriting is like the US but we don't use pencils at school after about the age eight (we use fountain pens as well). Apart from in Math where you can use a pencil.

  8553. OMG, I finally recognized the one where Moji had to ask for repetition and "shlower"! I've heard a different version along the lines of "Wir Wiener Waschweiber würden weiße Wäsche waschen, wenn wir Wiener Waschweiber wüssten, wo weiches, warmes Wasser wär". I did not get that until the part where he breaks it down and talks about "windeln, like diapers" etc 😅

  8556. I knew that the fairy tales had different meaning in their book form prior to this video. I've read three of them in English ( I don't read German). I did not know, however, that the book form fairy tales are still being read to children and any part of the world. Interesting.

  8560. Maybe not re-do old videos: just re-visit the topic, and add some new ideas, twists, etc in a new video. I've been here since you had 10k in subs, and wouldn't be into watching old videos with new intros as I just watch the new content you make. Sorry all this happened, you're a good girl and deserve the best in this world!!

  8571. Congratulations! I know in America, most Americans have NO IDEA what the immigration process is like (and assume it's super easy in regards to Hispanics coming across our border). Do you know about the GERMAN immigration system for those of us that may want to do that? I've tried to find things online, but it's very confusing, as I'm sure the American system is confusing to Germans. Any advice?
    1
  8572. Well, it looks like the I am not the only American who can not stand sleeping with the sheets tucked in. I love your videos. I have always been fascinated in learning about other cultures (not just German). Please continue with your very informative videos. Thank you.

  8573. Tipping! Rarely tip here in The Netherlands. In the US you are supposed to tip everyone who provides you a service. Unfortunately nobody tells you how much to tip, that is your discretion. But if you tip to low, then you are considered very rude. smh. Other thing: all shop prices excluding VAT, so it will never state on the cash register what you expect.

  8598. To me a feminist is someone who thinks females are equal in brain power and have the same ability to learn difficult concepts as males, someone who feels that women are able to lead a team of corporate office workers to accomplish a large, complicated project that will make money for the big corporation just as skillfully as a man would, and someone who believes it is possible for a female to be as hardworking, persistent, and greedy as a man.

  8601. Glückwunsch! Ich habe deine Kanal etwa vor 6 Monaten entdeckt und habe die bisher wunderbar gefunden. Vor allem, dass du uns eine korrektere und allgemein bessere Perspektive von Deutschland vorstellst, als die die Amerikaner haben. Mir ist es sehr hilfreich, da ich versuche auch Deutsch zu lernen, selbst wenn ich nicht mehr im Land wohne. Jetzt kannst du einfacher zum 1 Million! 😋

  8609. Congratulations on 50K!! 😀 I really enjoy watching your videos! I've been teaching myself German for the past year, and though I'm still a beginner, I find that learning more about "die deutsche Kultur" really helps keep my motivation high! I have a couple friends in Germany who I would love to talk more with, but sometimes I feel nervous or that my vocabulary or grammar is bad. I am curious, do you have any thoughts on what a German would expect or like to see from someone studying the language? Dankeschön, and again, congratulations!! 😀

  8614. I think I will forward your U-tube video to a lovely American girl I know who spent a year or so in Munich with her German relatives teaching English. It should be fun to get her reaction. Her family is of Russian decent. It was scattered all over the Western world after WWII.

  8617. Hey ich kenn dich durch die Reactionvideos von James. Finde euch beide super sympatisch. Noch ein deutsches Wort: Klugscheißer! :D ich wollte dir nämlich einmal sagen, dass es TorSCHUSSpanik und nicht Torschlusspanik heißt! Das haben nämlich Fußballspieler, wenn sie vorm Tor stehen und sie trotz einer guten Chance, Panik bekommen, das Tor doch nicht zu treffen! :) ich hab bis vor kurzem immer gesagt: Am Hungertod anstatt Hungertuch nagen! :D Liebe Grüße von der Ostsee!

  8618. Thanks for presenting not only the most obvious examples. I know that many Germans struggle with the verb „become“ and falsely use it as the German verb „bekommen“. Then you might here a sentence like „I became a letter yesterday“ :P

  8619. Thanks!

  8620. for me, having a top sheet instead of a duvet in a cover is like having no top sheet. The top sheet ends up in a ball every single night somewhere on the floor and I end up having to wash the blanket rather than just the cover. I may not use the top sheet correctly cause I have never seen anybody using one till landing in New Zealand. I was puzzeled to find in htels the top sheets tucked under the mattress. I freed them and tried to sleep like that but ended up every morning finding them on the floor

  8621. Congratulations! I would buy a 🍺 for sure! My Italian Grandpa was in love with Germany and you remind me of all the things he used to tell me about it. Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing!

  8622. I couldn't go through more than 8 thousand comments, so it might be in one of the comments. The first word that comes to my mind is "gross". How in the hell does a word that means "big" in German turn into a word that means "disgusting" in English? :)

  8636. Excellent capture of the addiction and overdose seriousness and how easily and quickly it gets discounted in America by all entities that have the political, economic, medical, and pharmaceutical power to make change. I do suffer from addiction and our society in general has always (since late 1900’s) perceived addiction as a “moral” problem that we addicts have and perception drives the thinking and behavior, therefore I’ve learned after being clean for 10 years we addicts have to take of our own.

  8637. Hello.. Loved this video! I was curious though... What camera did you use for the primary video? The quality was really good, looked as nice as 4k. Was that a GoPro or did you use your phone? You did a great job logging your trip and I'd love to see more content like this with future trips, your videos are always a pleasure to watch ☺️.

  8639. Living in the very north of Germany in a rural area (50km north from Hamburg), our drinking culture is so much different from the south. It is much more hard licor and more binge drinking as well, Stichwort Scheunenfete. The Wegbier is called Feldmische (because you drink it while you walk on your way to a friend thru the fields) and it is kinda normal for a lot of Abiturienten to drink a whole bottle of Korn or Vodka by yourself, even my best female friend ocasionally drank a whole bottle of Jägermeister by herself. Fast forward a few years and basically no body drinks any more at the age of ~22 because we had our parties when we were young and now life is more important. Still amazed that non of my friends nor I became an alcoholic :D

  8644. Well it might not be a typical german breakfast but I would say it is a pretty typical "going to your grandma's house" breakfast. At least my Oma (that means grandma in German) would make me hot chocolates all the time.

  8646. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your point three and 1000% percent agree with it. I hate identity politics so bad that people use race to "group think" that "if you look like me you must therefore think like me". They do not see the fallacy in that way of thinking. I am a "white man" and I can think of PLENTY of "white men" I disagree with and "black women" I DO agree with.. Long story short. "White" doesn't tell me if you can do a job need done. and for that matter "Black" doesn't either.

  8657. I have a very good friend who is first generation Greek. She says that when she goes to Greece to visit relatives they all look at her funny because she speaks Greek with a <local American city> dialect. And this is what I'm more used to. To hear someone with your elocution and enunciation is so rare, even for... well especially for native English speakers! It is truly a pleasure to listen to you. Okay, I enjoy the video, too!

  8658. This was one of my favorite videos to watch so far! I had so much fun watching this one! I never knew there was a second part to the "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" tongue twister, and it was the first tongue twister I had ever learned. I really liked that last one you did where you practiced it for an entire day! I can't wait for Part 2!!!

  8671. so, I ordered a Christmas Chest from Lebkuchen-Schmidt whilst watching this video because all of that stuff is incredibly delicioud, plus added on some Mozart Kugeln for good measure as I remember stuffing our faces with them on a school trip to Austria many years ago, and yet by the end of the video I am sat here wanting a pickle ornament!! Amazing video, thank you so much and Frohe Weihnachten!!!

  8675. Probably the best beer I ever had was in Munich. (Well...maybe except for Chimay.) But I liked the dunkels even more than the weißbiers. What do you think of Andechser? How does it compare to Augustiner, Hofbräu, or Paulaner? My friends and I had planned to go to the Andechs monastery when I was in Munich, but we didn't make it. I don't really get the appeal of American craft IPAs either. I find them too bitter. There's an American craft Berliner weiße called Angelino Weisse that I think is really good.

Potentially go and watch a Bayern game at Allianz if they are playing that week at home 🙏

  8683.  @FelifromGermany  Thanks for your input. I just looked up puberty range for American kids & the numbers are way earlier than what I had in mind. Using the average age from when I was a young man is way off. A study from Havard around 2010 found average age was 10 for white boys & 9 for black. I guess around 10 is the time to start education.

  8684. You are amazing. I have so much respect for your comprehensive, level headed and objective response. Thank you for choosing to live in the US. We all need to take your lead to be better world citizens.

  8686. Gruess Gott! Thank you for this video - it's been a fun reminder of my time in Deutschland. About the formal greetings - my dad likes to tell the story of working with Opel in the mid 90s - he was an executive with General Motors, but before being able to do any business with Opel, he had to be flown to Germany, meet all of his counterparts there, and be vouched for by each of them. They presented him with a certificate, a briefcase, and told him "We know you now. We can do business." I always thought that that was SUPER formal. But it makes sense if the culture is more formal even in basic greetings - as a Schuler, I didn't notice a formality requirement beyond the standard, "refer to adults formally" thing.

  8697. Yeah.. the only reason I even have WhatsApp is to talk to my friends in other countries. I’ve been made fun of a few different times for using “too many” emojis.. I think our nation will quickly outgrow our weird distaste for emojis though. I think its often interpreted as flirting or being suspiciously silly for whatever reason, but since its such a clear form of communication, I think we’ll catch up eventually. I’m also literally the only person I know that uses an online bank (it’s amazing btw). Any time I mention it, folks are just blown away that I don’t “go” to my bank. And even after I list all the reasons my online bank is clearly superior to my old one, they’ll just end up saying “well I couldn’t trust a bank like that” or something. Whatever. And yeeeeessss I’m always cussing at every city (including mine) for not having any widespread recycling. Fuck I hate that!! Whenever I go on trips, I end up with several bags FULL of bottle & cans waiting to stumble upon a hotel or rest stop that has recycling bins, sometimes I never find one.. And...I believe the commercial eggs in the US come from malnourished chickens kept in ass conditions, and kept alive via antibiotics.. hopefully I’m wrong... Anyway, as an American (born & raised) who travels a ton, you nailed those talking points. I wasn’t aware of the paper thing until you mentioned it but if there’s a better way, show us the light! Enjoyed the video!

  8705. What a terrific video ! Keep it up! We do have a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales ( but in English ) - the one I remember quite well, but not fondly, was one that my German grandmother told us where if we sucked our thumbs some guy would visit us at night and cut off our thumbs while we slept. Pleasant dreams to be sure !

  8711. Water filters are commonly used in southern Germany to filter out chalk from the water. Especially for coffee and tea drinkers it's annoying, when the "hard" water causes blotches of chalk swimming on the surface of the liquid... you can barely taste it, it is mainly an aesthetic thing.

  8712. Good video, little corection though regarding 4:31: We do use both quotation marks actually, I think the first ones you showed are more common in news paper though. In school for example I was only taught these " " and not the others (and it also starts at the bottom like in German from Germany, but I am not sure how to type those).

  8713. I don't know about prettier words, but I always thought English needs a word like "doch", especially when people ask questions in the negative.

  8715. I think the German aversion to A/C may have something to do with a dislike of any blowing air movement! The first few words in German I picked up while visiting my grandparents as a child were “es zieht” (i.e. there’s a draft), which I heard constantly when any window was open and a breeze was blowing. To this day when visiting I still hear the term a lot. Perhaps there is some correlation to the “unnatural” A/C air blowing that is in play here.🙂

  8727. Thank you for all your videos! I have been watching many of them since I will be vacationing in Bavaria later this year. I was deployed to Jordan last year along with a contingent of the Bundeswehr who maintain their own base camp alongside ours. The soldiers are every bit as professional as American and I spent a good deal of time admiring their aircraft while I was working on the airfield since I am such a fan of aviation (Air Force nerd). The Bundeswehr played an important role in the military airlift to evacuate civilian folks out of Sudan at the start of that conflict including Germans but also people from many nationalities. Aside from that we tend to notice their Dining Facility is preferred by our folks, and their pastries are most definitely better 😁🍰🍩 plus they are very competitive soccer players! ⚽⚽⚽

  8733. Margeriten und Gänseblümchen gehören botanisch gesehen zur selben Gattung... sagt zumindest meine Mutter als studierte Botanikerin. 😉 Das, was wir Gänseblümchen nennen (Daisy), wird als Wildform bezeichnet. The English equivalent to the German words science or natural sciences would be 'knowledge-ship' (like friendship). And btw... Wissenschaften translates to something like 'knowledge creators'... I think that's a better word than science.

Most of the people I know have adopted the practice of not wearing shoes in the house. Looks like we'll have to agree to to disagree regarding not having the sheets tucked. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it😄

  8765. Thanks! Hey Feli! I am enjoying your videos. My husband and I are planning on traveling to Germany this Fall (and even hit up München for Oktoberfest!). We are traveling with our two twin infants, and thus I was wondering if you could do a video or provide some insight into traveling with children in Germany, or even German attitudes towards young children in general. In particular, how to navigate the touristy areas with a stroller, how to handle diaper changes on the go, etc. I also would love to see more videos with travel guides to other cities. We are thinking of visiting Bacharach, Rothenburg, Nuremberg, Munich, and Salzburg this trip. Thanks again, and love the channel!

  8770. Have you ever seen the channel NALF? He's an American living in Germany. He always talks about how he prefers Germany for their culture, being efficient and methodical. You say you love America for the friendliness and freedom. I guess its all about personal preferences. I would say you could do a collaboration but that's probably a bit of a stretch. It would be interesting though. I also just realized he recently passed the 50,000 subscriber mark.

  8780. Also you try to go around Cinnatti get people try to speak you language. Do a quick quiz about Germany to American society on the street. You are comfortable. Always do a collaboration with someone. Talk about future plans?Facts about you that people don’t know of? Challenge video? Podcast?

  8788. Great video! I went very deep into the comments section, and I was surprised that neither you nor any of your commenters mentioned that one probable modern propagator of the idea that JFK misspoke (especially to Gen X and Millennials) is Eddie Izzard in their very popular 1999 comedy special, "Dress to Kill." They go on to use it as a setup to the idea that he could have taken that speech to other German cities to say "Ich bin ein Frankfurter" and "Ich bin ein Hamburger" ("I am a hot dog" and "I am a hamburger," respectively). Hilarious, and proof that comedy doesn't have to be accurate to be funny.

  8789. I began being vegetarian in the early 1980s, and travelled to Germany as a student in '82. I had to cook my own food because the meal plan (it was the Goethe Institute in Goettingen) was not veggie-friendly, and even the canned vegetable soup there had pork in it! So, I'm glad there are so many vegetarians in Germany now. Yes, it is still hard to be vegetarian in the U.S., more in social situations than as concerns non-meat options, which are more available now in supermarkets, but not so much restaurants.. I so identified when you showed the menu options!--if my co-workers and I order out for dinner for example, I might have one, or maybe no options, because yes, even the salads have meat! I happen to like tofu and tempeh, the latter of which does have bio-available B12. You just have to marinate the tofu to make it tasty, or fry so the outside crisps up and use a nice soy sauce over it with nutritional yeast, another source of B12. And yes, I still feel very much the odd person out as a vegetarian in my family and at work, living in the southwest (northern Arizona) where cattle ranching remains sacrosanct. However, Phoenix AZ has a few expensive but very nice vegetarian restaurants. BTW, I agree that some of the new plant-based burgers are TOO meat-like for me. Also FYI, I became vegetarian after reading Francis Moore Lappe's book Diet for a Small Planet, and then later when I became a Buddhist I took a vow now to eat meat. Thanks for making this great video!

  8793. I'm very excited for you that your channel is doing so well. I find it interesting that flashing your lights to let someone know you wish then to clear the lane is considered rude by people these days. When I was growing up... that was just past of communicating to drivers in front of you and wasn't looked upon as being over aggressive. Maybe that's a reflection of their just being more asshole drivers than there used to be... at least in the US it seems that way to me.

  8801. Als ich letztes Jahr im Krankenhaus lag, lag eine ältere Dame neben mir, die in einem Ort 50km entfernt gewohnt hat. Als sie Besuch aus ihrem Dorf bekam, sprachen die plötzlich eine Sprache, die ich noch nie gehört hatte. Ich dachte erst "Oh, sie muss woanders herkommen und das ist ihre Familie." Ne... stellte sich heraus, dass die meisten über 70 so in ihrem Dorf sprechen. Ich denke, dass es so etwas wie Sauerländer Platt gewesen sein muss. War für mich eine komplett andere Welt und ich hatte auch nicht das Gefühl einzelne Wörter zu erkennen. Was 50km ausmachen können :D

  8804. Excellent observations! I do cross my 7s and Zs. As for cursive, I notice where I live that if people write, they use print characters, not cursive. I have always used cursive except on forms. I'm not sure that American children are even taught cursive anymore. I'm also not sure what they will do when they want to read Mom and Dads old letters. It will be like you and me trying to read Suetterlin or Kurant! Here's another interesting difference: When you you have to wait in the waiting room at the German Doctor's office you always say hello and goodbye, even though they may be complete strangers. But you would never say hello or goodbye to the same people if you walked past them on the street. Americans might do the opposite. As for the shoes thing, keep in mind that young Americans might do things totally different than their parents and grandparents. I don't like wearing shoes in the house. Generally I don't think Americans have as strong customs as Germans. "Ordnung" is not always the American way. Maybe those that have "ordnung" had German ancestors, and there are many, believe it or not! I don't know where the expression "tucking in" comes from. Germans do use a sheet over the mattress which is tucked in, but then a comforter and no second sheet under the comforter, so indeed, you are not tucked in. Thanks for sharing of of this interesting info. I think it is good for people to have an understanding of how people in other countries do thing differently.

  8807. Felicia, you deliver great and interesting comment. You are non-nonsense, you give your experience and opinions, and are not at all confused between what is your opinion and observations, and what is fact (and you do good research to back up your facts as well). That is all very refreshing. You don't seem to be trying too hard to be "extra cute" as many you-tubers do, but you are anyway, it is just you. I think the audience will appreciate that. As far as ideas for more content, I'd like to hear about your family in Munich, what are mom and dad like, do you have brother(s) and/or sister(s), pets, etc. What was growing up like there? What other places in and outside the US have you traveled to, and are you planning to travel to additional places? Definitely do a Patreon page, I think there are a number of people who enjoy your content and would be interested in supporting your efforts. As for merchandise, who knows? I've never bought any YouTuber merch, even MotoJitsu's, and I'm a patreon of his and am also regularly in his discord server, talking with other motorcyclists there. But people may buy stuff, and even I might like a beer mug. I still have a few from Germany. I have never visited Munich in my trips to Germany, but I did get to Schloss Neuschwanstein and stopped in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, on my way into Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. Just doing touristy stuff on weekends I had off from teaching classes for the US Air Force at Ramstein AB. One day maybe. If you ski (or board) you should come to Colorado some time and see our mountains. I think you'd like them. I wish you the best of luck, and keep on growing.

  8813. Declawing was much more prevalent years ago then it is now. Less furniture damage was the reason. Even with a scratching post, my cats leave their marks on the leather couch. In my experience, declawed cats were kept indoors because they had no defense. In the last 10-15 years, declawing is not as common. Now, I doubt there is a vet, at least in my area, that would do the procedure. Because I live in a northern state with harsh winters, most people I know keep their cats indoors.

  8823. I'd love to see a part 3. In regards to the dates since I took German classes in High School and college I use both and it depends on the situation. On forms and in handbooks requiring leader signatures to signify passing in various organizations I use the American version. In everyday use or even on papers in school I'd switch between the two. Though I tried to stay consistent in the same paper.

For your subscribers in other parts of the world ---- Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is the largest Oktoberfest in USA. One Cincinnati neighborhood is in the process of gentrification, that area is named "Over The Rhine". While I'm of English decent, about 1 in 4 in Cincinnati are of German decent.

  8844. I've been living in Munich for 5 years and honestly I don't like Octoberfest at all. Expensive , very commercial atmosphere and everything made for tourists. However I love Fests (ger. Volkfest) that take place in Bavarian cities in the spring and summer season, before the Octoberfest . I especially love the Dachauer Volkfest, in Dachau by Munich -it is real Bavaria with real local people., music, wonderful food and a lovely atmosphere

  8846. Hey Feli! I really enjoy the videos where we get to tag along with you (and Ben) doing ordinary things. I know its not what you started the channel about, but its fun! Maybe because you two are fun - and glib. BTW here in Louisville we have "ghost malls" as well, so it's not just a Cincinnati thing. And Ben, sorry about the tough season the Bengals are having. ☹

  8853. Very nice video and I congratulate you for 30k. Keep up the good work. One little note though. Your description of the Autobahn and the different speeds of the three lanes is misleading. You said if you want to go more than 130kmh you switch to the left lane... Errr wrong! You always have to use the right most lane whenever possible unless you are overtaking another car or about to overtake another car. So if there is no other car in front of you, stay in your lane and speed up.

  8854. I just discovered your videos and enjoy them. I must admit there were a couple that I didn’t realize were actually German companies. I love Munich and I’m considering moving there.

  8858. Thanks Felicia. There are certainly a lot of truly bad things you could have said about the US. But thank you for reminding us about the things that we do well. We Americans have very thin skin sometimes and are easily offended but you were very gracious here. You have set a good example for us to follow. Perhaps more of us should show our appreciation and respect for cultures other than our own!!! The best of luck finding what you want out of this life Felicia. You strike me as so capable of achieving whatever you want. I really love all of your videos. RAB in Seattle. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  8860. LOL! I live in Toronto and have traveled to Germany almost every year since 1988. (My family comes from there). Crime??? I have never felt afraid in Germany. It is one of the safest countries that I have visited. Graffiti? How on earth is something that would stop you from wanting to live there. Paying to use the washroom, yes it is bothersome, but I am used to it. Cold???????? LOLOL! I live in Toronto, now that can be cold, but not always. My friends and family live all over the Germany and most of the time the winter is around 5 degrees celcius. That is not cold. What is this guy comparing it to California? Cash, yes in Germany cash is still king! Especially in restaurants and other eating establishments. However, I never have a problem using my credit card at hotels, or food stores or other stores. Air conditioning, or lack of is hard to deal with. The past three summers when i have been, there have been serious heat waves and no A/C was difficult. As for Sunday as a quiet day, I miss that in Canada. I have never had a problem with it in Germany. I would visit museums/castles on these days. As for Nazis. tell me a country in Europe that hasn't got this type of right wing movement. And come to think of it Briggs should take a look in his own back yard because America has itself a big right wing movement. Thank you for taking the time to share this

  8863. Very good video. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. There were a couple of words I have never heard of before. The one word I use a lot is putzfrau. iI just seemed to carry over with me when we travel and stay at a hotel or when the cleaning lady is coming over. Thanks again Feli and stay safe.

  8865. Believe it or not felicia, that did cross my mind way before you brought it up in this video a way to donate to your channel and why not? Come on subscribers if all the 50,000 subscribers donate 1.00 or more the more the merrier to show appreciation and Felicia is fun, outspoken and at times makes me laugh she is such likable person.

  8873. Es gefaellt mir wenn Du Deutsch sprichst. Ich schau deutsche Videos an um mein Deutschkenntis zu behalten und vielleicht verbessern. Ich war vor 50 Jahren als Amisoldat in Darmstadt stationiert. Da habe ich meine deutsche Frau erst kennengelernt. Vor sie starb, sind wir oftmals wieder nach De. im Urlab geflogen. Ich muss sagen , dass in Laufe der Jahren, hast Du deinen deutschen Akzent fast ganz verloren. Ich nehme an, dass deine Freundin kein Englisch spricht, oder ein bisschen scheu dazu ist?

  8878. Fun video. Thanks for setting the record straight. On the weather - you did live in Southern Germany...wouldn't the winters in Northern Germany be more severe? Closed on Sunday: Massachusetts had "blue laws" until the 50's, where everything was closed on Sunday.

  8884. Ich wollte mein Englisch verbessern und wurde daher von meinem Sohn auf deine Videos aufmerksam gemacht. Ich bin total begeistert. Du sprichst ein super Englisch und ich kann es trotzdem gut verstehen, weil du nicht so schnell sprichst. Super sind auch deine Videos mit Josh. Vielen Dank Euch beiden und macht gerne weiter.

  8885. Hi Feli, Sol from Italy here. I don't even speak german but I used to buy Bravo in the 80's, (and it was hard to find, in Italy!) because it had the best interviews and photos of my favorite musicians and bands... and I painstakingly translated them with the help of a dictionary -😁😁

  8886. Again, a very informative video, where the audition can imagine the extensive research work behind this. I hope the fun outweighs.

  8896. 18:50 when you were saying that you weren't even aware that that was a thing, I immediately had to think of the sidewalk thing, too, and then you said it😅🙈 experienced it several times with different guys since coming to California and I've never known about this before while living in Germany 😅

  8897. What a great presentation! Your attention to cultural details and differences is eye opening and revealing. I enjoyed the part about how Americans say goodbye abruptly. I like to give hug and say bye to each person when we part ways :-)

  8898. I speak English & German and therefore enjoyed your conversation a lot. My husbands (Austrian) and I (Austrian/British) often use English words in our German conversations, which confuses people a lot 😄

Not sure what will happen after current situation clears up. I admire and respect your achievements. I thank you. I say yes to Merchandise. If I had 1 question it would be what is your end game? Be well.

  8920. Hearing about dresscodes in the US always freaks me out a bit. In my school in Austria we dressed however we wanted and we still learned how to dress professionally at some point. I think high school is so much about figuring out who you are, so it makes sense to also figure out how you want to dress and how others will react to that. I remember a teacher telling a girl in my class to move to the back of the class because her cleavage was too distracting (her top was so low cut her bra was showing). I only know dress codes from catholic schools here and even they don't seem to be enforced as strictly as in the US.

  8939. Looks like a fun trip, Feli! Yes, the northeastern US can be very expensive. You chose well to live in the Midwest. Your Matrix should last a while but remember to take care of it (I'll bet I sound like your Father). I hope Veronica had a nice time in the US (and I don't understand why Wal-Mart uses so many plastic grocery bags either). You should consider visiting the American Bourbon Trail (Louisville/Lexington area). We'll be there Memorial Day weekend. Come say hi!

  8943. wow, du bist echt schlau und informierst dich faktisch über die dinge die du erzählst, sehr sachlich und objektiv, statt einfach nur Meinung und Gefühl, Respekt ;) Und dabei noch so gut und eloquent in englisch, klingt fast als wäre es vorher aufgeschrieben und vorgelesen, aber ist ja nicht der Fall, nochmal Respekt ;)

  8949. Ok, why do I want to go to Germany. I've been to the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Poland, etc., IN Germany been to Hamburg and I want to see Munich then Stuttgart. I like the culture and the straightforwardness. Yes there are big differences but I will get used to it & i do have friends there & Germany has the best beer. Falicia stay safe, stay home.

  8955. I doubt you will see this on your 100 year old video, but I was compelled to comment. I am an American, and I hate the disingenuous small talk. I have come to learn it is completely meaningless, so I have developed a standard meaningless response; but really wish people wouldn't waste my time with it. The Germans have it right :).

  8956. That was so fun!

  8957. I don’t know if that counts but I love the expression „schieß mich tot“ (shoot me dead) or „schlag mich tot“ (punch me dead) in German, when you don’t know something but it also doesn’t matter much. „Stephen Hawking was born in nineteen hundred shoot me dead and back then he…“ and then you just continue whatever you wanted to say as normal. People obviously don’t think about what they’re literally saying (as is normal with all idioms) as only the bigger picture matters, but this specific example always stood out to me so I always have to giggle a bit 😅

  8963. I was in Austria a week or 2 ago, And I liked the weißwurst mit zenf, it was fun to eat cause it had "A way" to eat it and was new to me, there was also a pretzel with it,and that combo was delicious. Further I somewhat liked the atmosphere in the sound of the german language. I do not like it as much as the atmosphere and sound in spanish but it has something. Further, you look beautifull.

  8973. Love your insights, coming from one culture to another. Part 3... umm yes please. I know with all that's going on here in the world and especially in America - I don't want you demonetized or anything if you are, but a video on your observations of what's going on in Cincy and among your friends. It has been a HUGE disruption in our communities and our civilization. I'm confident we'll come through the other side of it ok. Battered, but ok. Hope you are well. Stay safe in Cincinnati, from Louisville.

My Dad's side of the family immigrated from southern Germany to the US a long time ago, in order to keep a little German going in the family I named my son Morgen Stern. I hope you enjoy the US. I cant wait to go back to Germany.

  8986. AND…now being married to a Swedish man for the last 26 years, I have learned that it is quite normal here in Sweden to actually marry your partner after the birth of your second or third child, when the second or third child is at least a toddler, but not earlier than that.

  8998. When I was growing up in Colombia, we celebrated “El día de amor y Amistad”, Love and Friendship Day, on September 14th, and as its title implicates, it was not just for couples, but also for friends. St. Valentine’s Day was not really a thing there, except for in American schools. Apparently, it has become a big deal as of late, in kind of pervasive manner like here in the US. I personally really don’t celebrate St. Valentine’s, whether I’m single or partnered, but for those who do, enjoy.

  9001. In my german school, cursing was kind of normal. The students did it, the teachers did it and openly in front of each other. I had one teacher by whom we got punished for cursing and everybody thought that it was super weird and overly sensitive. Also my parents cursed in front of me, my grandparents and so did I in front of them. A friend of mine told me, that when his grandpa meets up with his mates, he always greets them with "Wie geht's ihr Arschlöcher?" (How are you doing assholes?). To be fair, I come from the rural, catholic southwest and maybe it's different here. But I havn't really come across any german from other regions who react super sensitive to cursing and are all like "Not in front of the children".

  9011. Your description of what its like driving on the autobahn is spot on. I drove in a slow minibus, looking out of the back window you see a dot in the distance, before you know it that BMW, Audi or Merc (yes I'm British!) flies right past you. I also drove a fast German car at around 100mph, it was such fun and you reach your destination very quickly! Do some people really think the autobahn is a single road?
    1
  9012. Congrats!!! You, definitely, deserve whatever success you get. How awesome!!

  9013. Feli - I LOVE German & am going to learn to speak & read. I wish I had seen this video esrly enough to have signed up for the sprint course -- immersion is the best way to learn. I enjoy hearing you speak your native language - it is so beautiful. BTW - did you grow up around Americans in Munich? Your English is flawless & you sound like you were born & raised in the Midwest. 🙂 How did you come to speak American English? Love the videos! 👍
    1
  9014.  @FelifromGermany  Very cool! At first (until I had watched 2 or 3 videos) I thought you grew up here in a German-American community. Your "American" accent is perfect -- you could pass easily for being a native Midwesterner or a Californian. Anyway -- I LOVE your videos! ♥️ I am 1/4 German by descent (my mom's maternal grandparents were German immigrants) so I do enjoy learning about German culture (& though I have had VERY limited exposure, I love German cuisine). Say, have you tried baseball yet? Cincinnati has had a major-league team for almost 138 years. ⚾️

  9015. Ich weiß gar nicht, was man kommentieren sollte. Ich könnte euch beiden einfach stundenlang zuhören. Ich glaube aus den Sprichwörtern könnte man ein interessantes Format machen, dass der andere zunächst raten muss und man dann dem anderen in der jeweiligen Sprache des Sprichwortes erklärt, was es wirklich bedeutet. Am Schluss muss der, der es erklärt bekommen hat an einem Beispiel zeigen, dass er es richtig verwenden kann. Das fände ich spannend. Das hat einen Lerneffekt und ist gleichzeitig unterhaltsam.

  9020. Your English is perfect! It's hard to believe that you are German. I was heavily immersed in German in high school and college (5 years of it) and even my American teachers (who had German parents) spoke with a German accent and used to slip into the more guttural pronunciations.

  9022. My wife is VEGAN 40+ years. She is a great cook. I eat the best meals at home. Clifton has the most international spread of cuisine. The coffee house by the Esquire has vegan. Chinese, Middle East food, Indian, prima Vera Italian and vegetarian sushi- these are some choices. Southern California is much better. Trader Joe’s vegan cheese and other items are tasty.

  9027. You covered a lot of topics in this Q & A. But your comment section is dominated with comments about guns. Shows how obsessed Americans are with firearms. I don't blame you for feeling uneasy.

  9051.  @KH-mn7bt  She is perfectly right. For a far right you have to add the plan of "remigration" of every migrant you see, you have to feel superior to other ethnic groups or people with other sexual orientations like you etc. But of course you know that. Your comment was therefore only the normal "Rumgeopfere" of a far right commentator in the internet.

  9061. Glad all is going well. Soon you will know about the changing weather a couple of days before friends. Might be a good time to invest in wrist guards, knee pads, and a helmet- none of these things were really in use when I was your age (just another boomer moment).

  9065. Well done! Merry Christmas Feli! And may your New Year be bright!

  9066. Hey feli! I love your videos. They help cut the monotony of the week. I'm sorry there is no Oktoberfest this year. I can hear in your voice how much you miss it. However, maybe it will be even better next year. Best wishes from Michigan.

  9067. I think the closest cognate to the English "spiel" is the German word "Schau-Spiel", which stands for "drama" in a theater

  9073. The sports team collective verb usage can be so unique. You would say "The Cincinnati Reds are trading this player." ... But also "Cincinnati is trading this player." But in the UK, it would be "Cincinnati are trading this player." English has so many wrinkles.

  9078. So on the topic of accents and dialects, I do know dialects can change from village to town in Germany, so there are many different dialects. I did notice that in your video when your friend was visiting, the two of you did not speak Bayrisch. Why? The Bavarian accent is very interesting, and maybe one that is the most difficult for people just learning German to understand. Also, living in Cincinnati, have you ever been asked if you know who "The Big Red Machine" were? :-)
    1
  9079. I enjoy your videos, mostly from the perspective of having lived in Germany for a couple of years (in the '80s, before you were born). Having German ancestry, I thought at the time that maybe I would make an easier transition to the culture--even going as far as speaking [broken] German with a Bavarian accent, but no, I am an American, and was regarded as such! I did however love the experience, and adopted many things. To this day, I still draw a line through my Z and 7, though I made a compromise with 1s, not wishing to confuse these with 7s! The sheets thing? Nothing is getting tucked in anymore! I am a creature of both comfort and convention. "Making beds" serves no practical purpose to me. Both slippers and pajamas are also something I see little need for (socks being fine as inhouse apparel). But you missed a couple things... how about door knobs? When I came back to the U.S., it was sort of weird not seeing the ubiquitous latches in place of the round doorknobs! Also, the multi-functional windows that both folded in, and swung completely open. I liked those! Have you seen many German things in America? Here in Pittsburgh, there were many German neighborhoods, and the German contributions to the history and development of this country cannot be overstated. Have you seen any of the Amish settlements (in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or other places)? They speak a sort of German that you may or may not understand! The term "Pennsylvania Dutch" is actually supposed to be "Deutsche," as in German, but I guess the phonetics made the translation to "Dutch." I loved your town when I was there (Oktoberfest, 1987. Mostly in the Spaten Brau tent, unfortunately!). Have you been to Garmisch, or Oberamergau? I skied the Zugspitz, and 30+ years later, I'm still sore!

  9092. Hi Feli! Recently found your channel, and have enjoyed your videos. As a Catholic, I find your Christmas video very familiar with things done in a religious background. Being from Müchen, the Catholic part of Germany, are you Catholic? Are these Christmas things done with a religious background or are they just the general German culture?

  9106. Hallo Felicia! Finally getting to watch your video now. 👍🏻  Always wanted to go driving on the Autobahn... I'm jealous! Wish we had something like that here in the U.S. For me it's not about showing off, I just LOVE the rush of driving a 450+ HP high-performance machine like it was designed to be. 😏 Alabama born & raised Saxon here... So, you like southern accents, huh? I might have a fairly heavy drawl... 😉 I love hearing the German accent, especially since my heritage is mostly Germanic Saxon...Makes something inside me feel awake and alive. Wish I had a German accent... 😔 Stay safe & healthy in this weird time of illness in our country. 👍🏻

  9127. Just found this video/channel. Forget all those things you mentioned on popcorn and try ranch dip mix powder from the packet (I use Hidden Valley brand) sprinkled on it (NOT salad dressing mix). THE BOMB! Works with butter or butter seasoning, but I just usually go plain. And best kettle corn is at fairs & festivals where they make it in a cast iron kettle & you eat it hot. Warning, it will spoil you for the stuff in a bag lol

  9128. I live in Japan and several of the things you don't like so much in Germany are things that I don't like in Japan too. Though, I have a feeling the dislikable things may come from different backgrounds as Japan is an extremely collectivist society. Also, it is very judgemental and too easily makes comments on everything. Personal space doesn't really exist here. These are some of the reasons I'm moving back to America this year.

  9131. I have a duvet and duvet cover but still use a top sheet because the texture is smoother and more comfortable. Also, I don’t wash the duvet cover very often because it is a more decorative fabric that would be damaged by too much washing so the top sheet still has a sanitary function. 🙃 Love these videos!

  9132. Thank you! I like the transparent and non-polemic way you've chosen! Und das du diese Unaufgeregtheit für ein sinnvolles Thema benutzt: kulturelle Unterschiede, die in Klischees umfunktioniert werden.

  9138. My uncle lives in Cincinnati and can speak some German, though not fluent. We are of German ancestry and my grandparent & great aunts/uncle spoke it growing up. I wish I would have learned it. I took Japanese classes instead. That said, German seems way more similar to English to me as a result.

  9148. I stumbled across your video and as a native German who speaks English fluently I was curious about the requested words. Besides "Eisendrache" which has been commented on quite frequently, I'd disagree with your pronunciation of "Höpke", which I'd pronounce with a longer Umlaut - just like in the version you mentioned but quickly dismissed - because it is followed by a single instead of a double p. I really enjoyed watching your video and I thought your solution for explaining the pronunciation of the German -ch as in "Mädchen" by comparing it to a kind of exaggerated pronunciation of the word "humid" (which I've heard a lot by native speakers) was absolutely genius!
    1
  9149. I just wish I could pronounce "Tschuss" properly. It keeps coming out "Juice".

  9150. As always, well researched. You can always rely on that. Thumbs up!

  9156. I had the opposite experience when it comes to shoes indoors. I'm from El Salvador, and we mostly follow the American trend of wearing outdoor shoes in the house. I hated it though so having slippers was always a must for me in my house. When I moved to Japan, I immediately adapted to the indoor shoe culture (that I've found to be way more strict than the one in Europe by the way) and enjoy the idea that nobody ever walks with outdoor shoes in the house (and hence the floor is cleaner that way). About beds, I must agree with you: One single, untucked sheet wrapped around your feet, for a couple, is the way to go. Numbers and letters I reckon my country will mostly follow a mix of American and Spanish(European?) trends. My one looks American (both versions, depending on the context/level of effort I want to make), but my 7 looks German/European. My 9 is definitely straight. My I's will be simple lines unless I'm writing in English, in which case the word "I" will have a serif. My J's have a serif, but very usually I'll just make them cursive. I'll very rarely bother dotting the lowercase i's and j's. My Z's usually don't have the line either. Thank you for the interesting video, I'm very glad it wasn't basic, general knowledge stuff like in so many other "culture shock" videos.

  9171. Wow, Feli, it goes without saying that you're very beautiful, but what always amazes me is how sweet and likeable you are. People will always be charmed by you. ...Oh, and yes, it's "gren-itch", not "green-witch" -- I'm afraid English is full of these bizarro exceptions that always trip up even the best non-native English speakers.
    1
  9172. I think that you have been choosing good topics for your videos even if some things tend to overlap a little here and there it's definitely bound to happen or you'd run out of things to discuss. I can tell that you put a lot of time thinking and researching your topics and that you definitely put a lot of thought into them and that's why I always find myself very interested and entertained with your videos. And yes people here mare generally friendly and accepting of others but I've got to admit I'm sure that you make it easy for the people that you come across and meet because you seem like a very likable person! And don't go changing yourself too much and getting too Americanized, you're great just the way you are!!! Hope you and your family is doing well thru this pandemic, blessings to you all.

  9184. German Girl in America I don’t know what it’s like now, but growing up, Youngstown had a big Italian community. A lot of shops that definitely sold a lot of stuff that was much more authentic than your typical downtown Italian restaurant. My great step grandmother who came directly from Italy lived there. I was too young to remember if there were any restaurants she approved of, but she did make some great food(I’m guessing authentic since that’s what she made in her home land...), and I definitely remember going to the local shops and getting stuff. I don’t know about Cincinnati, and I’ve never been to Italy, but some places in the US grew from heavy immigration from Italy. I’m sure there are plenty of places in the US that would rival any restaurant in Italy. Not to mention that there are still first generation migrants coming here. So yes, just because someone has Italian heritage doesn’t mean they make authentic Italian food, but if they came here directly from Italy, I think whatever they cook is authentic by default. But you’re certainly not going to find that at Olive Garden in Phoenix.

  9185. It was fun hearing about your relationship guys! I am also excited that y'all are planning a family and planning to move back to Germany but waiting on kids for a bit. Ich hätte gern 24 Stunden nur Deutsch mit Ben sprechen. Danke sehr Leute. Thanks guys! :)

  9187.  @FelifromGermany  Yea. I've never heard someone say "US Customary" when they weren't being either pedantic or precise about which system they meant. It's always casually referred to as Imperial in the US.

  9188. Agreed on every single thing you said. Went to Florida and California (I actually also visited Nevada and Arizona to see Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon) the last two years. Both times we made a road trip and planned everything in advance, just the German way we are used to. When we went to California a year after, we skipped the planning and went full-on American :D . Although there are obvious reasons not to stay in the US for a long time (healthcare, Donald and all the "very talented people" he always hires, Capitalism (<--- with a capital C on purpose), waste of resources...), the friendliness and open attitude of almost everyone is a huge plus for the American society. Almost each time we went grocery shopping, we got in contact with someone. Once we talked to a shop assistant who then came after us to the parking lot just to give us some pastries for free and a nice "Welcome to America, guys". Speaking of parking... assume to always get a parking spot. Except for big, crowded cities - which are rather European btw, not only concerning parking issues :D .

  9190. An excellent video! Every country has pluses and minuses. i think his video as you stated has partial truths in it. As for as graffiti, I don't see that as solely a german problem. In visiting Prague, Budapest and Vienna , i saw plenty of graffiti in some of the nicest areas. As far as Sunday closures, if you're old enough as I am, you'll that here in the USA as late as the !950's most of the USA had Sunday closures for religious and other reasons. As far as "Nazi" type organizations, that are ant-immigrant, and promote anti-immigrant violence, we have some of that here as well. The reasons for living in the US are very positive. The reasons for living in Germany are also positive. Sorry, a long response to a long well done video!

  9192. Congrats on the award!! I just started watching the channel about a week ago. I had stumbled on your channel, when I was watching another channel and started watching you content on your channel. You do such a great job at teaching and making things / topics understandable for your audience. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see more content and learn more about Germany. I had three exchange students from Germany when I was in high school. It was such great experience with all of them and got to learn hands on learning / cultures when they were here. I am hoping to visit all the exchange student in Germany in the future. One of the exchange student ( Florian ) his mom works at headquarters of BMW. She is wanting me to come visit Munich, so Florian can show me around and that his mom can give me a tour of BMW. I do speak to Florian a bit, I had sent him sent the link to your channel. He says from another German, that lives in Munich. “ Great Job and wonderful channel”!

  9194. Danke! Inzwischen 62 Jahre alt kann ich mich erinnern, in der 4.Klasse eine Dokumentation zum Lager Bergen Belsen nah meiner Heimststadt Hannover gesehen zu haben, in dem die Leichenberge mit Bulldozern zusammen geschoben wurden, um die Seuchen zu bekämpfen. Dieses Erlebnis hat mich geprägt, und ich kann mich erinnern, später als 14jähriger den Antikriegsfilm DIE BRÜCKE aus den 50ern gesehen zu haben der zeigt, wozu die Nazi-Ideologie Jugendliche in meinem Alter getrieben hatte. Wir sind nicht Schuld an unserer Vergangenheit, aber es ist unsere Verantwortung, eine Wiederholung zu verhindern. Und gerade tobt in Europa wieder ein Krieg mit der Begründung, daß diese Gebiete dem eigenen Volk gehören und die Landsleute unterdrückt werden. Nix anderes hatte Hitler beim Anschluss Österreichs und der Zerschlagung der Tschechoslowakei gemacht, bevor der Überfall auf Polen die Lunte entzündete. Wieder Nationalismus, wieder Imperialismus im Namen der unterdrückten Landsleute. Dabei hatte ich die Hoffnung, wir hätten mit der Gründung der EU aus der Geschichte gelernt...

  9205. I grew up in a small city in Germany and my friends are buying or building houses right now. Most of them started thinkin about it end-20 after studying and finding a stable job. They do not all live in my hometown anymore. So it is not a "Dorf-Ding". 2 of them even bought a house in a big city.

  9207. I’d love to see a video on German heritage in the US. My family moved here a century back from Germany(roundabout, part of the Blacksea Germans), so a lot much all of my heritage was kind of lost along the way, so I’m both curious of heritage in general, and how others in the US have carried on theirs.

Leider ist mein Englisch nicht so gut das ich alles instant übersetzten kann. Es hat aber gereicht um mich für meine Bedürfnisse bei meinen Reisen dorthin zu verständigen. Deine Videos helfen allerdings etwas dabei die Sprache besser zu lernen. Gerade wenn es darum geht den Inhalt deiner Assagen zu verstehen.

  9214. I got my Green Card through the lottery in early 1995. When I applied for citizenship 5 years later, there was a big backlog for citizenship applications. I added a note and asked if it might be possible to process my application so I could vote during the November 2000 election. I don't know if the note specifically made a difference, but I was sworn in as a citizen in September 2000. In time so I could register to vote for the upcoming election.

  9226. Ben will be a visual learner. 90% people are visual. Learners. Write out the alphabet in German. So he can se the letter while you say it. It will program his brain. Write out words and slash lines when you pronounce the German word. He will catch on easier than saying out loud. His audio to the brain works less than visual seeing the language. No TV. Or computers phones to start with complete silence. Say basic words each day. Later.

  9227. Congratulations Felicia on your 100k+ subscribers!! I hope your channel continues to grow, and thank you for all of the great content you have posted. I know having a broken wrist can be a bummer, and it provides addition challenges to everything you do. While I was out of work last week due to three broken toes I binge-watched my movie collection. One movie in particular, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, is one of my old time favorites, and I discovered that it was filmed in Munich and Bavaria. I wondered how those places compared to today or have they changed a lot?

  9228. Soft and very sweet, yes its a generalization, but very true. Of course I don't know why American bread and pastry is how it is. It probably developed this way over time and with the influences of many different cultures from immigrants from many many different places. Also its likely it was not always this way. At some point the bakery on every corner (as in Germany) likely existed here, but at some point large factories and super markets took over with mass produced baked goods. I miss my Broetchen and Nusshorenschen so much! Yes, as you say you can find them, but not at the nearby grocer. For me, the biggest problem is that the cakes are cookies are too sweet. Luckily, my German wife cooks and bakes German! We all develop our tastes from what we grow up with in our family, local and national cultures. In my case, Mom baked and cooked both German and American. She learned some things from her father's German family, but of course was surrounded by American culture in the Dakotas. Then we moved to Germany when Dad took a job there, but we lived in a "Little America" in Heidelberg where I grew up. So I was in an American bubble, which when I ventured out, I stepped into German culture. This also influenced my personal tastes. Its where I developed my taste for "hoppy beers" -- i.e. German Pilsners. Sorry, but most Bavarian Beers are too sweet (Lieblich, where you taste more of the malts in the beer -- not enough hops)! Flussiges Brot :-) Thanks for all these interesting Vlogs, Falicia!

  9229.  @FelifromGermany  Tks for reply. I had secondary insp on return from business trip to MX (at border in San Diego). Yep very intensive. I had TSA interview that was random. Yep an interrogation. In 2017 in Frankfurt (FRA) I had to take my IPAD and cell phone apart and take EVERYTHING out of my bag. He said all Americans had to do it. Of course I complied. Rather be safe but missed time in the Lufthansa lounge as a result. Tks again. Note I have been a Global Entry member for 10+ years. Keep up the good work. Was in Munich last May.

  9232. I love the idea of your exploring German Culture in America. Fun fact die you know that in American towns with a majority of an ethnicity most kept speaking their native language? There were several communities where all the signs and newspapers were in German or Dutch. This ended with the prejudices brought about with World War I where everyone was to speak English and not the language of the enemy. German stopped being a subject in many high schools for a while. There is also a fascinating video on German Culture in Texas out there. Maybe visits to places of German Culture. Milwaukee has a lot of German influence in its architecture, some great, some tacky such as a skyscraper with a baroque top. Indianapolis has an awesome building called the Athenaeum built as a German Community House. The architect was Kurt Vonnegut"s grandfather and in its basement is the Rathskellar one of my favorite German restaurants in the US. And Milwaukee is known for Mader's. And congrats on 50k viewers!!

  9242. All your observations are very true, for the most part. Other european countries also have some of the traits you ascribe to Germany. When I was last in Europe, I did like the fact that you could go from one country to another without border controls, and the same money in the Eurozone. The border controls may be tight for awhile because of the pandemic. Great video!!

As an American it saddens me to see the pain in your face as you correct these spurious assertions against the German people. Briggs is in the minority. Let's leave him there. Wishing you well. Thanks for your contribution to humanity's better nature!

  9253. 1. Americans are drivers, due in large part to the relative size of our country. That tends to make us think about driving before other options, even when it objectively doesn’t make sense; 2. There is a saying that young people act like they are “10 feet tall and bulletproof “, especially for males. It’s kind of a toughness thing for some people. Others will take every opportunity to dress like the weather is warmer than it actually is as kind of a rebellion against the cold weather; 3. The metric system didn’t really catch on here. People have adapted to some of it (ex. The 2-liter bottle, use of milligrams and milliliters in medicine), but referring to temperatures in centigrade is very “rest of the world”. Lots of apps are available to make translations but if you drop a centigrade number into conversation here, you will get weird looks; I really enjoy your videos quite a bit. I’m glad that you are doing them, it’s always good to get a different perspective on our culture. Have a great day!

  9254. I began using duvets with a cover after my family members began using them and after I realized IKEA carried all sorts of great duvet covers and so i could change the look of my bedding rather cheaply. I also use a bottom and top sheet as that is what I grew up using and plus I like folding the top sheet over the duvet for a more decorated look to my bed after it’s made. I currently reside in Munich as an expat and can’t get on board with the German pillows. I enjoy when we travel via car I can bring my big American style pillow with me❤

  9255. I was also raised with the originals. Incidentaly, I was quite disapointed by the disney version being even more "kitschig"(can't think of the english word), while in the Grimm tales I had at least the violence to hold on to (also a much stronger sence of morality). If you want "Kitsch" done right, I strongly recomend the tcheck version "Aschenbrödel" of Cinderella, which keeps much more to the original material, while stil getting rid of the gore. It's a really popular Christmas Movie, btw...

  9293. Oh I’d absolutely still live in Germany! That guy was a typical American guy that wants attention and doesn’t pay attention to others. I have to say, your attention to detail is amazing and quite hot—I wish more took the time to analyze things as you! I lived outside of Wiesbaden for a while and don’t agree with really anything he said. I actually liked the weather there and was very similar to what I knew growing up in Tennessee. I lived in Montana for a number of years and now in Alaska, I laughed mostly through his complaints about mild winters. It was around -40° for over a month here, so calm down. I would also put money on there are more neonazis in the US than Germany now. There was never a time in Germany I didn’t feel safe, even in the graffiti-ridden city of Berlin, and that is far from my experience in every US state (but Hawaii). Thanks for putting this silly guy in his place with facts and reality. You make me miss Germany even more right now.

  9295. Terrific video ! You'd be surprised how often most of us misuse our language because of our provincialism. For example, a homonym such as row could be used for say rowing a boat or it could be used to explain a column of words. If you live in the east a row could also mean a house (row house) or it could mean a fight ( such as these two guys really got into a row over a ball team's statistic). Fascinating !

  9307. Concerning the ultimate guide you also should emphasize that not all (!) citizens of bavaria join the Oktoberfest or wear so called traditional Trachten - the northern part of bavaria was united with southern bavaria by force - of Napoleon. So a not too small part of bavarian inhabitants are very happy as soon as the Oktoberfest has finished - like me. But the Oktoberfest is a good idea to raise money from strangers and guests from foreign countries. Come a pay (too much ... the Oktoberfest is famous for being too expansive). 🙂 Dankeschön für Deine lustigen Beiträge zum deutsch-amerikanischen Miteinander auf einem Planeten. Geht doch ...

  9329. #AskAGerman Do you listen to more German music or more American music? How much coverage do German artists get in Germany compared to international artists? (i.e. do you hear music by German artists in public more often or less often than music by American/British/other international artists?) What is your favorite German artist/band? What is your favorite American artist/band?

  9334. You can get soft baked Cookies at EDEKA and REWE in Germany, but it's only one specific brand. They taste like the cookies you get at Subways.

  9335. Congratulations on 50k. I'm so happy for you. I love the beer mug as merch 🍻 I'd buy that for sure. As for content I love hearing/learning more about your home country and differences between them.

  9336. Thanks for including the histories of the businesses in addition to the pronunciations. We can’t really use correct pronunciations here without sounding pretentious, but good to know when in Europe

  9337. I just love watching your videos. If you ever get the chance you should visit the great plains. At the worst, swing through them on the way to the Rocky Mountains😁. There is actually quite a bit of German heritage in the plains.

  9346. Hey! Your videos are really great information, i really like watching them! I really want to move to america one day (if i get a green card teehee) but i just wouldn't know how to find a job and a flat/apartment there. I would probably be so lost there lmao Can you make a video about finding a flat or a apartment in the US? That would be really cool!<3 I also have a question to you: Did you miss your family when you moved to america? Or did a friend/family member move with you back then? I also would like to know if its bad to move to america without having any friends of family there?

  9349. Als in Amerika geborener und aufgewachsener Sachsen ist mein Deutsch nicht gut, aber ich wollte nur sagen, dass Ihr Englisch perfekt ist und Sie sehr schön. Oh, and I like your videos.

  9357. Congratulation to you Feli - You too Josh! What a nice surprice. I have of course subscribed immediately to the youtube version of your new exciting podcast channel. I have really enjoyed learning about German and American culture by watching your youtube channel. By the way - cool name for your podcast.

  9370. Damn. I wanted to skip through this video to only get a general overview of what you were gonna do, but turned out that almost every bit of it was interesting!

  9371. Games are played at wedding showers not at the wedding in USA
    1
  9372.  @FelifromGermany  Yes, I thought it was worth pointing out. The subject hadn't been studied well for decades because of the associated stigma, but people started to talk about their experiences around the 80s, I believe. It would make for an interesting (if dark) video subject.
    1
  9373. I enjoyed the content and except for greetings I'd say I feature an amalgamation of American and German, especially in writing. Our shoes are on a shoe mat and I wear slippers. And the comforter is not tucked in, but the sheets are most definitely tucked in prior to entering the bed. Nice video!

  9374. I love pineapple/Hawaiian pizza. :P

  9375. You deserve it. You put in the time and you will be rewarded. We get to learn from you and your experiences as a German in the U.S. plus you have a great personality.

  9377. happy i found your channel, finally someone who points out the inaccuracies in US videos about Germany so I don't have to in the comments of their videos ^^'

  9384. Great video! I've been watching all your videos ever since I found your channel after YouTube featured you. I am of German ancestry and it is very cool learning about German culture from an actual German. It's good to see your channel gain subscribers so fast because all your videos are very high quality!
    1
  9385. Hi Felicia! I’ve seen in a couple of your videos you’ve mentioned how Americans tend to drive a lot more. I found this video that I thought was interesting that might help explain some of the history and context as to why. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/Qaf6baEu0_w

  9386. I thought you two were going to announce you are together....podcast is excellent news too. ❤

  9387. Hi Felicia, I have just found your channel and subscribed. I live in Melbourne Australia. We have compulsory census here in Australia along with compulsory voting at elections. Of course with voting, it is really compulsory attendance and having our details registered. Voting is still a choice, as to for whom to vote. With graffiti, I saw an interesting written notice up in Bendigo Vic saying "I am not a vandal, just a little kid with a pen". Restrooms are mostly free for use here. We even have some robo-restrooms!! Many years ago, the restrooms were all pay as you enter. That long word in Germany may well be considered as a short word in Finland!!! We personally prefer paying cash, though many people do also pay by card. Here in Australia, we have Christmas in mid-summer. Believe it or not, there is also a small Nazi Party here in Australia, based in NSW as far as I have heard. Anyway, wishing you all the best. Robert.

  9391. Thank you, German Girl in America, for your German language lesson! I really enjoy the way you mix in the history of these common German brands. I mispronounce nearly every word you covered in this lesson.

  9392. German toilets as opposed to American ones are designed to allow you not too be seen.

  9393. Hello again. Thank you for this video. Always a pleasing to hear a voice of reason. I really didn't care for that other person's way of speaking, to exaggerated. That alone is a reason not believe what he was spewing. Thanks again. Love your videos.

  9397. I think you picked some great ones there, but I think one is missing: Vormittag! I hate that in English I can only say morning to the whole period from 1am to noon, also why is there an afternoon if there isn't a prenoon?
    1
  9398. Nice video Felicia I agree with you about your experience driving on the Autobahn. I know some who mention that when visiting Germany but in the US you can run into some that will flash there lights and want to pass you on the right even when your driving not slow in the fast lane, yes quite annoying.

  9399. Thanks!

  9415. Nice video. Thank you! I have been mispronouncing all of these .. LOL. One of my personal favorites is Schneider Weisse which I don't think is difficult to pronounce (I don't think :-) ) , but is quite good! I thought is was Munchen beer, but I believe at least it is Bavarian. BTW ... I grew up just south of Cincinnati, but never went to Oktoberfest there so will have to make it back one day. Thanks again!

  9416. We didn't do this to our cat. We also felt it was inhumane, and our cat learned as a kitten to use the scratching tree. She never scratched furniture, although the deck post outside did get some use. Ours was indoor/outdoor. I feel like this was a thing ten years ago and more. Recent cat owners don't do this, in my experience.

  9423. The shoes/slipper thing makes so much more sense now! My dad was born and a raised in Germany and he does the shoes/slipper thing. He never taught me much about German culture so I didn't know it was a German thing; I always thought it was just a my dad thing.

  9424. If you want to see German films, it can help to have a VPN. The German TV stations have their program to watch for free (ARD Mediathek, ZDF Mediathek, RTL, SAT1 ...), but it is only available from Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
    1
  9425. Very good video. I was once in a place named Wildflecken in the mountains NE of Frankfurt. It was June and it was snowing. But, I really don't think the weather in Frankfurt was any different than Pittsburgh. Except, in those days, there was much more snow in Pittsburgh. The pay toilets, Sunday shopping, and quiet hours are a thing; but it was never a big thing.

  9427. I've enjoyed a couple of your videos on Germany. Lived there as a military brat (Bad Nauheim, Friedberg and Butzbach) in the late 50s to early 60s. Three and a half years. Comments: 1) The winters were mild compared to Chicago where my father was based before the transfer to Germany. 2) Since the Berlin Wall was being built at that time, didn't have a comparison but could compare the cleanliness between Germany and France. 3) In 1999 I took my wife (for our 30th anniversary) to visit the places of my childhood and she found the country very enjoyable. 4) On Sunday, in Munich, we were surprised to see the city was apparently shut down. Was not aware about the stores being closed. We walked and noticed a crowd down by the river and decided to explore finding one of my best memories at the Deutches Museum. Spent the day enjoying exploring as many exhibits as possible. Previously have lived in Alexandria, Virginia (Smithsonian) and Chicago (Museum of Science and Industry, Field Natural History, etc.). The Deutches Museum is one of my favorites. So there is something to do if you are visiting.

  9432. Funnily enough, I always thought Miele was an Italian brand, because in Italian "miele" has a meaning too: honey! :D Of course, we pronunce it in a totally different way!

  9439. American with a German wife whose family does pizza at the carnivals back in Germany - I struggle with the peperoni/pepperoni every time we go back there and they make a pizza for me. Either have to switch to salami, or go to the store and find the "right" kind of pepperoni salami and add it myself.

  9440. This was really interesting as an English/French speaker as if most of the German words you took were put into French, they would be cognates! I'm going to try to find some German/French false friends. Thanks!

  9441. Thanks!

  9442. I'm hoping to move to... okay The Netherlands not Germany next year and as an American who knows how to cook I will make my future Dutch friends so many soft cookies weather they like it or not! Although I don't think they'll think Americans put gravy on cookies when I make them biscuits and gravy because cookie in Dutch is koekje.

  9444. As Fabian left out the last sip of the beer-question: We call that "woama Hansl" (transl. standard german "warmer Hans" / engl. "warm John"), but that may be a specific Viennese term. And I have to disagree with Fabian regarding the how to tell the time-question: Using "Viertel 10" or (even worse) "Viertel 9" for 09:45 is definitely wrong, and I never heard that before (although I lived in different parts of Austria). There are 2 variations each, basically preferred in the Eastern or Western parts of Austria: 09:15: "Viertel 10" (East) or "Viertel nach 9" (West) 09:45: "Dreiviertel 10" (E) or "Viertel vor 10" (W) Anyways: Super nice & interesting Video (I finally learned that Frikadellen and Buletten are the same thing, I've wondered for years what's the difference) - Really hope there will be a continuation, or variation (maybe with someone from Swabia or Cologne region, would be interesting as well). All the best for the new year Feli - Pfiat Di! :)

  9447. Olympics are nice to watch on TV but not a big thing here. Not comparable to Soccer. It's all about Soccer, Soccer, Soccer and far far behind at second is Handball I would say. And germans are nowadays probably some of the least nationalistic people.
    1
  9448. I learn so much from your videos about the difference in American and German cultures. Thank you for making them. Germany is a place I'd live to visit someday. I was told my last name is German, but I've never checked. I'm American born.

  9458. Most of these issues were either non-issues or just not true. Except (indeed) for the cash payments. That’s a serious issue. Why can’t I pay with Apple pay (or a debit card) at bakeries, restaurants, smaller shops?? Whenever I travel to or through Germany (living in NL myself) I need to remember to get or bring cash. I don’t want that! We’re an almost cashless country and that’s soooo much more efficient! Please Germans, get rid of these notes and coins. Maybe the current pandemic and attention to hygiene can help to get people accustomed to using cards and wireless payments..

  9459. Thanks for sharing your energy and positive spirit with us this year. You have uplifted me with your smile (you can truly light up a room and that is an awesome superpower to have) and energy.

  9460. Ach! Ich liebe deine Videos. Finde dein Englisch super, vorallem, weil sogar ich, mit meinem schwachen Englisch dich so problemlos verstehe und auch immer wieder was von dir lerne, abgesehen davon, bist du einfach eine supersympatische Person! Danke für deine tollen Beiträge! Servus nach Bayern aus Wien! #teamchristkind Guten Rutsch ins 2021er!

  9461. Felicia I believe that oddly enough the author sounded like he is a republican (conservative) and he probably voted for the current president. That is reflected in his attitude about taxes and being a "social welfare" country which I believe is better than the American system of the extreme rich and the very poor. I was surprised about his attitude towards the "nazis" as the current administration seems to agree or at least doesn't condem extremists like the KKK and white supremists and has given rise to militant (liberal) anti-fascist groups Antifa being the most well know. In summery I believe Deutschland (Germany) IS a great place to visit and dare I say it, a nice place place to live. Oh yeah, the closed on Sunday issue is normal for me as I grew up in Indiana and it is / was more conservative than Ohio where you now live. On Sunday you had to go to Ohio if you wanted to purchase alcohol as it was illegal to have liquor stores open or even buy it in the grocery store on Sunday. As always, great video Felicia!

  9462. Late to the party but congrats on getting your green card! Now you know why there is such a problem with illegal immigration that most don't understand, and that there is a limit to how many people are actually granted Permanent Residence in the US. You seem to have a bright future in the US, so I would encourage you to apply for US Citizenship, it will grant you more freedoms and rights than you have now as just a resident, like ability to travel long-term without notifying Immigration, and you can vote. Hope you enjoy your time here!

  9463. German girl, you have really big eyes. That is very very attractive. Subway systems in L.A., San Francisco - BART, Washington DC are air conditioned. I think New York's is so old that they don't have the ductwork for AC. I live in Oregon and most people here use canvas or reusable bags for grocery shopping. We are very conscious of the plastic bag thing. I enjoyed your video. Interesting to hear. My ancestors are from Bavaria and I hope to visit Munich, Heidelberg, Passau etc soon. Best part of Germany.

  9466. Under the circumstances, you may want to postpone the most obvious thing (subscriber meet-ups) until you hit 100k subscribers. Hopefully the virus will have run its course by then. Also, do you have any interest in doing a video on various points of interest (museums, Kings Island / Cedar Point, the Cinci zoo, maybe Mammoth Cave is close enough for a day trip, etc.)? I think something along those lines would be well received. Although, again, you'll want to wait for the virus panic to die down.

  9475. I love visiting Germany and have been many times. The people have always been very nice ( At least in the southern portion of the country). One lady actually opened up her restaurant (On Sunday) for me and another Soldier when she found out my last name was Germanic and that my Great Great Grandfather immigrated from Germany. I remember her saying " Ah Siebert, Good old German name." I would agree with the taxes being a little high for my taste. Germany would be my second country to live If I had to chose. But I love my First and Second Amendment as so I will be content to keep visiting every few years. Good job on your videos, they are very entertaining.

  9482. the epicenter of the opioid epidemic is the area around central West Virginia where the coal mines were abundant now are gone. the problem is the people were completely laid off and the company was foreclosed as it no long exists. The former workers desperate for relief sought out pain pills to dull themselves and escape. it just spiraled after that. there are some towns that are like zombielands because most of the population are high off their rocker on some type of drug. The government can't help because a lot of West Virginia is inaccessible and towns are just hidden. not only that the massive poverty is a big problem that can't be solved yet. most americans call west Virginia the Toilet of america as nothing good ever comes out of there and all of our bad stuff is just flushed into there.

Aber irgendwie hab ich das Gefühl ich hab das Video vor 2 Wochen schonmal gesehen -.-

  9486. Wow!!! Just seems like the other day you were at 20,000. I'm sure this virus is making more people get on YouTube to help pass the time but it's definitely you and your sunny personality along with your beautiful eyes not (crazy eyes)! And I'd say it's you that should decide on if you want to get into Patreon or merchandising because it will be an extra load on you and your time but I'm sure that there's plenty of people who would support you in it if you choose to do so. I'm sure yours just feeling it out which is a good place to start. Hopefully this thing ends soon I've been cooped up for over a month now and wouldn't mind doing some traveling and camping myself! Maybe go to Yellowstone National Park and Teton National Park again.

  9487. Another great video Feli. I definitely like a lot of the German features and if I had the opportunity to build my own home I would utilize quite a few of them. I was always fascinated with the German style of windows and although I am American I was never real fond of air conditioning. I guess it is because I never really had AC as a child. Keep the videos coming because I am always entertained and enlightened by them.

  9488. Who is the American? There are way too many races here, hundreds of them. You generalize with the word American and that makes your belief, false.

  9491. There’s great German bar in downtown Seattle called Feierabend – I never knew what it meant until now. Earworm is definitely a term Americans commonly use and understand. The English term for Eselsbrücke is mnemonic device (the m is silent, so it’s pronounced “nemonic”). I’m totally adopting the term cable salad!

  9497. About that pop corn thing: In Austria, it's more common to eat salty popcorn. Like fr, I never even had sweet pop corn in my life and I don't know a single person who had it either. It's just not an option here

  9502. I think the reason why the Netherlands doesn't show up as a popular holiday destination is because we usually do a day trip only and then drive back on the same day. So it doesn't show up in those statistics. Might be similar for Denmark, Switzerland etc.

  9503. I have a few to add for the next version. Stihl always mispronounced along with the company Bayer. How about the beers Löwenbräu, Paulaner, Spaten? Also a well known German brand for many things with a subtle mispronunciation in English is Bosch.

  9505. Hot chocolate Soup kenn ich. Ist evtl.eine Generationsfrage? Bei mir Zuhause geb es öfters heisse Vanille Suppe. Du nimmst eine Tüte fertig Pudding zum anrühren / aufkochen und nimmst die doppelte Menge an Milch. Für uns als Kinder noch extra Zucker 😜So bekommt man 4 Kinder Recht schnell und günstig satt 😍 Stichwort: Milchsuppe auf Wiki!

  9506. I know you said please no travel suggestions, but in the future, maybe you could visit areas where German culture is big throughout America. I know in Wisconsin there is a ton of German influence and small towns that are rich with German heritage, with German style houses and restaurants. Just a suggestion!

  9510. so wait, what race would i use then if i'm half german, half romanian? like sure, german is caucasian/white, but does romanian count as hispanic since it's part of the latin/roman languages/cultures? or is hispanic only certain cultures and countries?? and how would mixed americans choose what to write down? does your race depend more on where you are born, where your family is from or what you identify yourself as?? sorry Feli, i guess this is more a question for the americans in the comments than for you specifically xD

  9511. I have lived most of my life in the US but I was born in Guatemala, the question I hate the most is when people ask me where I'm form and I say Guatemala they say ...so you're Mexican then or where in Mexico is that. Guatemala is it's own country god dam it.

  9512. When watching movies or tv shows in your target language, watch it once with subtitles in your native language so that you know what's going on (especially for beginners) and just listen for words or phrases that you recognize in the target language. For the second viewing, use subtitles in your target language and make note of any unfamiliar words you want to add to your vocabulary list. Then when you think you're advanced enough, watch it without subtitles.

  9515. Well done Felicia. I'm an ex Brit and have lived in Germany for 40 years. You did a great job of showing that smart-arse Yank up for what he is... an ignorant sh1t-stirer. I bet he is a fan of Trump.

I am from china, i have learned english for 10 years but still might be b1 level, aber als ich Deutsch als meiner zweite Fremsprache gelernt habe(3 Jahre vorher), war mein Englisch schon ganz Kathastrophe. Mir gefällt dein Video sehr, quasi weil die beide Sprachen aus Latein herkamen xD i could now pick my english skills again from your video! ty

  9523.  @FelifromGermany  Well either way i'm glad you did it. Its interesting to hear you guys discuss each other's countries as an American who's never been to a another country or even flown on a plane. I'm 27 so at this rate i i'll be lucky to visit 1 or 2 countries before i die.

  9527. Funny. I work at a HVAC producer in Denmark. We sell the most to the US. Here in Europe we morely need heating, not cooling. Yes, sometimes i've wished, I had cooling :) but it's only a few weeks a year, and I use a fan instead. Europe has a lot of dressings!?!? Most popular is French dressing I guess!? There are litterally no 'pull overs' on Autobahn in Germany. Sometimes you get 'flashed' and pulled out at the next possible. But normally you just get a fine by mail. I've learned to go over by 12km/h don't even flashes you. And if so, its a just pay this few Euros.

  9528. I would definitely like to see a part 3. I always use dashes between the dates and lived in the U.S. my whole life I think everyone does things differently in the different regions of the U.S. kinda like how accents are different all across the U.S. I always enjoy your upbeat attitude and smile, it always puts me in a great mood!

  9537. My daughter was looking to rent an apartment in the city she lived in (in Kentucky) and for what she could afford at the time the weren’t very good. It’s a college town and rent is high. We loaned her enough money for a down payment on a 3 bedroom house and her payments weren’t much more than rent was gonna be on a 1 bedroom apartment. She lived there 6 yrs and sold the house for $40,000 more than she gave for it. She then went a few miles out of the city limits and bought a bigger nicer house . You know, I still haven’t gotten that initial loan back.... LOL

  9538. Haha, the beginning cracked me up. I hate pulling it out of the freezer and not being able to dig in right away. I also prefer to wait til it's soft enough for me to whip up. I find that texture to be a lot better. Kind of like soft ice cream you get out of a dispenser. I also love floats. Vernors (Boston Cooler) or sprite (Snow white) are my two favorite types of floats. I can't comment on gelato as I've never had it before, and if I did when I was a child I certainly don't remember it.

  9546. Veronica enjoyed a most excellent time I hope. You really desired her to see in a short time a lot of the Northeast. If you have not been to Atlanta, GA and spent several days there you should. Even though a big city it is, it is an entirely different feel from the Northeastern cities. Love your posts! Danke... :-)

  9552. Greetings from Oslo. Post war Norway is pretty marinated in the Disney world, but many homes had the Grimms (Brødrene Grimm, in Norwegian) in their book shelves. So we would kind of know about the grim differences in the stories. Great video! 😊👍🏻

  9553. German here. I grew up with the original versions too and never watched the Disney movies. Even as a child I knew that the stories are just fairy tales and was never really scared.

  9565. Italians are obsessed with airing out rooms LOL Italian moms love to open the windows every morning, even if it's freezing cold outside :D And in general most points you talked about are valid for us Italians too, we just don't get money back for cans and bottles (but we do recycle, and we do have to separate all the materials). And yeeees to front loading washing machines that also control the temperature of water, I hate American washers! And to AC being so freaking cold in summer, why do you need 68F inside?? And I also feel much safer in any European city
