@@henningbartels6245 tbh I never heard an American saying "Brötchen" so clear like she did :D she took a lot effort into learning this language! Definitely
I clicked on the video because the thumbnail made her look like some crazy chick. Then I watched 18 minutes of well spoken, well argumented opinion from a wonderful person. Watched it to the end. Great video.
Just a 17 minute video and you answer dozends of questions and explain tons of things that most americans visiting/living in germany need a couple of videos and weeks, sometimes months to talk/inform their viewers about. thats what I as a german call efficiency. Great video and thumbs up! Your pronunciation is great and you as a person are adorable! Thanks for the great video!
Interesting to hear from an American's point of view. I am glad you enjoyed Germany...I can see the excitement in your eyes😃 Your German is pretty good too!
I am always amazed that Americans are surprised that you have to tip the bathroom cleaner because it is the same system that Americans use to pay waiters in restaurants. Wages are low, work is hard, so you tip them that they can reach a reasonable income.
Way to go...i really like that you as an american talk so nicely about germany... Be proud of yourself that your german is soooo good. Pass auf dich auf und ich hoffe es wird dir hier in unserem Land noch viel Gutes widerfahren
Wow, your German is really very good! And If you always are so open minded like you saying in the video, I am sure you will get everywhere a big warm welcome! So das war mein Versuch in deiner Sprache zu schreiben :-) Ich wünsch dir alles Gute und noch viele schöne Erfahrungen in Deutschland!
Quite a delightful description of a travelers experiences. These kind of exchanges really open ones eyes to possibilities outside of ones general family cultural surroundings and the limitations they impose. Ps: spitzen Aussprache
Eine sehr sehr nette Einschätzung! Ich mag deine liebe, nette Einstellung gegenüber den Deutschen. Aber auch hier in Deutschland gibt es schlimme Leute...die nicht so offen sind. Dennoch finde ich es sehr schön, wenn andere Kulturen offen bei uns empfangen werden. Das selbe erwarte ich auch, wenn ich reise. Ich wünschte alle Menschen wären so offen und könnten ihre schönen Kulturen mit allen Teilen. Alle sind bei mir wilkommen, die mich und meine Kultur kennenlernen wollen. DER BEITRAG GIBT MIR HOFFNUNG, DAS NICHT ALLE MENSCHEN HIER IN DEUTSCHLAND FREMDENFEINDLICH SIND.
You are really easy to listen to : ) And you talked about the most important thing when traveling - research! I hate when people do not check the basics, it's like when you travel to the States and you're surprised with sales tax. If you're still in Germany, come and visit Poland, we have good food and nice views here too : D
Wow, very positive. So where's the negative stuff? ;-) BTW, most Germans consider any form of religious "promotion" as an intrusion into their privacy.
Than you so much for the positive input :) I am moving to Germany in two weeks and, being a little terrified, this is exactly what I needed to hear at this point. I know that there are going to be challenges ahead, I’ve done my honework. But actively keeping the positive aspects present is going to help.
Because of red / green. You have to be able to rely on road traffic rules that it will work, otherwise it will be fatal. In Germany, the laws are there for the citizens and not the citizens for the laws. Following rules will save lives.
I watched 5 videos and everyone mentions "Knödel" being potato dumplings. so strange to me I never ate those (just once for testing), but instead, just the Knödel made out of old, hard "Brötchen" and marjoram. They taste 1000 times better than the potato knödel ^^ I hate sausage and brezel. but the salted yogurt isn't german at all ^^ Ayran is Turkish. Never tried it and just known of it for a few years. Polish yogurt drink is superb though! North, south, east, and middle Germany is beautiful. unluckily I grew up in the west middle of big industrial cities :O Never owned an umbrella in my life. I hate that preparedness. I walked the whole winter in a sleeveless shirt. I absolutely hate the rule-following thing ^^ As well as the über-clean houses. I am not very german which is the reason I emigrated ^^ Here in Finland the houses are even CLEANER which I thought was impossible to achieve ^^ I find trains o be very expensive in Germany. for short routes 30-50 € whereas with car it would cost 5-15 Euro ^^ but straßenbahn and u-bahn are somewhat okay but still wayyyy more expensive than driving with your own car. I find Germany to be one of the fastest-paced working countries as well..
What a lot of people don't know about paying for toilets, is that they are small businesses. People take care of it and try to keep it clean and a lot of times if there is a lady sitting at the entrance they offer other small services like selling condoms or other small usefull things like tampons for example. But lets turn this around, why would you let people in your bar/restaurant or what ever to only use the toilet if they don't spend a single cent??? And the so called free refills in the US aren't free, you pay for it somehow, let that sink in slowly.
If you definitely want tap-water ask for "Leitungswasser" / (pronounced "lye-tungs-wha-sser") in a restaurant. Those should be free. But yes, usually you pay for water in restaurants.
I think she knows how to pronounce Leitungswasser. And your phonetic spelling is pretty inaccurate by the way^^. It would sound like "Leitangswoassör" or something... :D That's the reason why we have the IPA (international phonetic alphabet). If everyone would learn it, ppl yould easily tell how anything is pronounced. And it's not that hard. "Leitungswasser" is "ˈlaɪ̯tʊŋsˌvasɐ" for example. Pretty easy when you learn some more letters. And it's international. Teaching your mouth to form those sounds is another story^^
Your pronunciation is so good! I wish my English was so good ^^''. I think it is very interesting to hear what people from other countries say about my country. Like you talked about the german public transportation where I think It is soo bad! Always late and expensive! But now I think it is probably worse in California and I should be more glad. I think your experience with German jobs is something that has changed much and only stayed like this for some smaller companies. When my dad has vacation he gets bothered all the time. He is not even in a high position but he gets calls at 6 in the morning to get into work or on Sundays even. So I think this depends a lot on the company. And the street thing is so right XD I was stopped by the police last week when I went over a red light with no car to be seen. Now I know: It is ok to walk over the street 2m away from the traffic light space but not right across it. SO stupid....so German ^^'. I loved your positivity so much in this video and you are right, we have some very good music! (We have a very very good metal scene in Germany which I am very proud of X3) Thank you for making this video ^-^
Sehr realistische Einschätzung aufgrund von Erfahrungswerten. Ich hab nur zwei Wochen in Californien Urlaub gemacht. Whatsapp i missed the most, the German bred, ein Brötchen zum Frühstück, in Kalifornien nearly impossible to get. But It is landscap wise very beautiful located.
Because we are not as nice when we see a dark-haired person, we are nice when the person is blond and white and speaks perfect German, like she does. Sad but true :-(
Nice video indeed, I would really like to know where you were (city)! :3 It's facinating really, cause I have been living in Germany for the past 5 years, yet I have a completly different point of view about Germans :/ I don't really like the country and the way people treat me here because it is so not good, but it is nice to know that at least some people do get a nice impression :D
you can ask for tap water for your dog and then drink it by yourself... tap water just doesnt fit to the concept of going out for dinner... If you do so, you soend already a lot of money. dont want ruin this great time with tap water. I hate this tap water in the usa.. even when your ordered something to drink, they will keep bringing it.. what for? Feed it to my horse.
I can't go under I go over it that's how you use the bathroom you don't have to pay I'll wait till someone goes in and I grab the door I like getting around the country by bicycle or skateboard
You know your German is amazing, when the Germans stop complimenting you for it.
Even Germans hate to learn german, that is why we love other people learning german.
Wer so liebenswert und freundlich ist wie Du, der wird überall gerne aufgenommen. Alles Gute!
But that ,,salty yogurt" (Ayran) actually isn't German ...
Wie alle Amis auf Knödel und Rotkohl abfahren :D
The way you said "ach" in the first few seconds sounded so German :D
Your pronunciation is so good. When you said Brötchen, it sounded 100% native, like edited in level of native.
Deine Aussprache von Eichhörnchen, ist die beste die ich von einem Amerikaner gehört habe!
Wow, she can pronounce Eichhörnchen. Ich bin beeindruckt, dass hat bestimmt viel Übung benötigt. Und die erste die Nö und Co mag :D
Amazing pronunciation! Ich ziehe mein Hut!
Excellent pronunciation in German indeed. Really amazing for an American.
@@henningbartels6245 tbh I never heard an American saying "Brötchen" so clear like she did :D she took a lot effort into learning this language! Definitely
Wow! Fast akzentfrei! :-)
Auch die schwierigen Stellen eindrucksvoll gemeistert!

Auch nach Jahren macht es immernoch Spaß, sich das anzuschauen. Danke dafür.
nein nein nein streichholzschächtelchen is the word to go xD
Wow! I’m flashed! Your pronunciation is awesome 👏🏻!
Way to go...i really like that you as an american talk so nicely about germany...
Be proud of yourself that your german is soooo good.
Pass auf dich auf und ich hoffe es wird dir hier in unserem Land noch viel Gutes widerfahren
It is so wonderful to hear you talk about my home country with such love. What a treat. Thank you.
Danke für dein tolles Video! Es freut uns sehr, dass es dir gefallen hat!! You are amazing💕
I love how happy and shiney she is, while she talks about Germany. You can tell that she loved beeing in germany.
holy shiii†, when she starts to talk in german i rly want to cuddle her. sounds awesome, nice that you had fun. and good points what you had there.
She is full of Joy...and really makes me smile too.. subbed.
2:10 The salty yogurt drink is not German originally btw, it's Turkish I think
Wow, your German is really very good! And If you always are so open minded like you saying in the video, I am sure you will get everywhere a big warm welcome!

Wow, your grammat is pretty good, but your pronunciation is KILLING it! Nice go, glad you had fun in Germany and come to visit often. :)
The salty yoghurt drink is called Ayran and has Turkish origin:)

Great job, you have only a very minor accent speaking german, nice to hear, that. you love my people.
Such a wonderful person 😍
Your pronunciation is excellent! 👏
"Ayran"...very good from our turkish Citizens.
Delicious after a doener or when it's hot.
could also be Kefir
Disgusting, I never will understand how someone can drink this actually
i love it to, but only whe its fresh, cold and hot weather outside.
She is soo cute!!!
Wonderful!!
You speak a very well German without any typical American accent. Very well done.
What the hicketty heck!?! I just moved to German five months ago and I agree with everything. (Except for the shopping part)
thank u from germany
She can pronounce the German ch very well
Wow, very positive. So where's the negative stuff? ;-) BTW, most Germans consider any form of religious "promotion" as an intrusion into their privacy.
Kraß, akzentfreies deutsch. Respekt !
Germany has some of the greatest metal bands ...
I am German and I wish I could speak English as well as you speak German.
Than you so much for the positive input :) I am moving to Germany in two weeks and, being a little terrified, this is exactly what I needed to hear at this point.
I know that there are going to be challenges ahead, I’ve done my honework. But actively keeping the positive aspects present is going to help.
2:15 Wie sie einfach Ayran beschreibt 😂
Because of red / green. You have to be able to rely on road traffic rules that it will work, otherwise it will be fatal. In Germany, the laws are there for the citizens and not the citizens for the laws. Following rules will save lives.
not bad :) your german is really good :) i can understand you very well
Dein deutsch ist wirklich gut!
Dein Deutsch ist super, wie lange warst du hier, oder seit wann bist du hier?
Great German pronunciation. Almost native.

Rotkohl aka red cabbage is not pickled..other than Sauerkraut.

Nice! I like you. :)
Never heard a muslim immigrant talked this way
sad but true
Because we are not as nice when we see a dark-haired person, we are nice when the person is blond and white and speaks perfect German, like she does. Sad but true :-(
@@UlliStein Of course Germany at fault again, like the Muslims are perfect at integrating anywhere else. How self-loathing can you be?
So it is much likely that You never tried to listen to one of them.
Nice video indeed, I would really like to know where you were (city)! :3 It's facinating really, cause I have been living in Germany for the past 5 years, yet I have a completly different point of view about Germans :/ I don't really like the country and the way people treat me here because it is so not good, but it is nice to know that at least some people do get a nice impression :D
You should make your own you tube Chanel

Aus irgendeinem Grund erzählen die Amis immer dasselbe über 🇩🇪 z.B. die Ampelgeschichte, Öffentliche Toiletten und Züge, etc. 😀

With all due respect, I love my country but don't you think you are going a bit over the top?
The sqirrel thing is true! ;D

Terrible German food: fried liver with Bruxelles sprouts. Innards in general. Terrible.
