    I have years under my belt doing renovations both professionally and personally. I would say somewhere along the way every project I’ve had to shift my plan of attack or after it was done wish I had done it slightly differently so please don’t think your skill level is preventing you from doing it ’perfect’.
    You’re doing it which is awesome!

    I started watching your van life videos a couple years ago because they were interesting. Now your Germany videos have stayed interesting in different ways. You two are around the age of my kids so it's fun to watch you explore the world in ways that I haven't. Early this year, probably when Elli joined you in the van for a month or so, I commented that you two seem to energize each other. That comment remains true today.

      @@Maddie.taylor You have the advantage of a built in translator with Ellie.

BTW, I think the Cinque Terre was our fav, but you really had to get on the trails to escape the crowds. Ciao 😊

    I moved from Vietnam (5 different places in 7 years), to Thailand (2 places in 1 year), to France (2 places in 2 years), and to the USA (3 places in 20 years), and to Hawaii (5 places in 25 years). Yep, that’s how old I am. I don’t remember any move was easy, especially not knowing the languages. The most important question to know in different languages is “Where is the restroom?” For you, I recommend reading little kid books with pictures. Just visit the local library one day. It will help you to learn much faster and at your own pace.

  • @IndecisivePsycho
    @IndecisivePsycho 3 месяца назад +2

    Yall are so fun to watch and I'm so excited to see everything you've been doing/will be doing on the house.
    Tip: I've seen other channels ask their audience questions about the upcoming tasks. I think it's a really great tool to have as I'm sure a ton of your viewers have the knowledge base for so many reno projects. Maybe that would be a helpful option to implement as you are just learning. Which in my opinion is so lovely to see the GROWTH that's needed to do things yourself :)
    Love your channel, ❤❤❤ love what it was and where it's gone. Keep it up as I'm hear every week excited for what's to come

    My nephew just returned to New Zealand from a trip to Europe. He showed me photos of Berlin, said it was really interesting, lots of history there (good and bad) and found Germans to be friendly. You have both worked so hard on your renovations and are doing well. Only you can decide if you let others opinions affect you. It is ok to tell someone that expressing negative viewpoints is not helpful unless it is constructive problem solving advice.

    Hi Maddie and Elli. It has been fun watching your renovations and new life in this house. You both have been working so hard these past months, so I’m glad you will be slowing down a bit with the renovation work. What I really wanted to say though is that for me it’s perfectly okay if a project spans several videos. I know you’re both young and healthy, and can take on this much work without a problem. But I wouldn’t mind seeing you both take some time off now and then and perhaps show us what you cook or Maddie doing some art. Either way, I love the library you ladies made and look forward to seeing what the rest of the house will look like. Take care and thanks for taking us along on the journey.

    Oh friends this was so lovely - Maddie, I just made the decision to completely renovate our tiny house starting in the spring... so watching you guys literally feels like its preparing me to renovate, film, and edit a RUclips video every week. haha, so thank you! And OMG I can only imagine how overwhelming and gutting it must have felt to have all the audio files corrupt?! I am so so sorry - technical aspects like that are literally my least favorite part of this job. Sending so much energy and inspiration to you both to keep kicking butt on this epic and massive project! 🧡
    p.s. have you found that you've had more technical issues like the audio issue when you started using the external mics? I keep hearing how many issues people have with those... curious to know what you think.

    Every time I’ve been to Germany a total stranger has approached me to tell me off for doing something trivial. Last time it happened a guy told me I mustn’t park my motorbike right outside the front door of the Airbnb I was staying at. The time before that a couple told me I’m not allowed to cook dinner with my camping cook set by the side of the road. I’ve lived in Britain my whole life where people really don’t do that kind of thing, so it’s a total culture shock any time it happens. The whole being opinionated and telling you to your face thing is something I’d struggle with if I was in your shoes.

    - Zum Sprachenlernen gibt es eine Menge gute Hilfsprogramme, wie ich von anderen Vanpeople weiß, die dafür Werbung machen. Eines heißt Rosetta Stone, die anderen Namen fallen mir gerade nicht ein. Aber mit diesen Programmen soll es viel leichter und spielerischer sein, eine Sprache zu lernen. Deutsch ist sonst wirklich schwierig, wenn man es als Ausländer lernt...wünsche euch eine schöne Weihnachtszeit! Gerade haben die Weihnachtsmärkte eröffnet.

    Re learning German. I found it helped to stick labels on items around the house with its German word. I used different colours so I learnt the Der Die and Das part. And when you don't know the word for something, Dingsbums (whatchamacallit) is the thing to say instead.
    And when it comes to replying to someone, when they are telling you their opinion on something, you can usually get away with using one of these words: krass! (incredible), wahnsinn (crazy), geil! (trendy), or fies (terrible/nasty).
    In fact, I believe you can say "krass" in response to most things, and they'll think you're fluent ;-)

    Maddie, I am going to tell a "bummer" story. My friend married a Danish man and moved there from the US. She never really learned the language, and ultimately left her husband to come back to America. They had some problems as a couple, but the biggest general issue she cited was the isolation not being able to just talk to people around her. I say this to encourage you to really prioritize learning German, especially since you mentioned the feeling of isolation. I am sure you are trying, and obviously it will take time to be able to comfortably converse with native speakers. I just would hate to see you one day feeling like my friend did.

    Nice to get to know you a little more, to know a little about then, now and future.
    Perhaps a little more energy for the paetrion can bring in a little more money for continued renovation
    Take care of each other and enjoy everyday life
