hey Laura, I love your content so so much, it is so helpful. I'm thinking about doing an exchange year in the USA too, could you might do a video about how the first day was, like how do you chose the classes you wanted to take, questions other people asked you and how to talk to your host family. Is it awkward to talk to them? Have a great day
Not every student is learning 2-3 foreign languages. That's usually only the case for students at Gymnasium (grammar school). For everyone else it's a choice
Interesting on tipping. The waiter or waitereis, the normal get paid minimum wage which can range from 12 to 17 dollars an hour depending what city they live or work in. And y'alls bread I know is harder then ours cause we enjoy not breaking our teeth lol.. But y'all do have some yummy breads..
It's so funny to me the bread thing. We hosted an American girl once and she had such a hard time getting used to our bread. It's a huge part of our culinary culture though
@@honey27003 hey it’s all good it’s about learning each other cultures and I’m a foodie love to cook and experience all kind of new foods but one thing I have to avoid is liver. Lol I’d like to taste German pretzel compare to ours out here and see what the difference is and I guess the close to your bread would be our sour dough bread.
Yes, that's the most popular term. Kinda funny actually even though I'd never thought about it. Those are the little things that people from other places notice
@@honey27003 What's also funny is that "Trinkgeld" actually translates into "Drink Money" doesn't it? Kinda makes more sense to call it that than calling it a "tip" like in English., especially since the word TIP has multiple meanings in English!! Well....Have a great Day you Nice German Girl you!! :)
Exactly, I applied via Experiment on the German side and CIEE was my organization on the American side. I will also do a video on different exchange programs and organizations soon

I love your country! Walks along the rivers, and going on river cruises. Oh I would love the opportunity to stay a year or so.
River cruises are a really popular vacation option. I have never been on one but I think I should try it :)

Laura..is the German word "Trinkgeld" still the word used for the type of tip you give a Waiter or Taxi Driver??
Yes, that's the most popular term. Kinda funny actually even though I'd never thought about it. Those are the little things that people from other places notice

hi laura how did you apply to the exchange program? through a organization?

What you need to know. Don't wait for the Green Man, see what happens... 🤪
the funny thing is that in many German cities, it's not actually the cars that make it dangerous but the bikes
