In Germany we say: " Nicht schlecht...kann man sich echt mal anhören." Thnx you two. Making History right here.....
Passt scho, hatte kein Ohrenbluten, weder wärend noch danach.
Dear Liam And Valerie. My Family And i have been following your videos for a long time now. We really like them. We are a multi-culti family: British, South Africans and Spanish living in a SMALL Stadt in BW. I just wanted to thank you because your videos have helped us going through the difficult adaptation process. We didn’t speak any German and your humor made us feel understood, as somehow we weren’t the only ones feeling weird. So thanks! Und weiter so!
What a lovely message! I’m American. My dad, who speaks English and French, spent a summer in Tübingen when he was a uni student. Is that anywhere near you?
I LOVE how Valerie pronounces British as 'Bri'ish'.. it's insanely accurate to a lot of Southeast England accents!
Also I'm S.E English and my partner is native German (Hamburg) living in S.W England so can relate to a lot of the content. Especially my love for German food and culture. 💜🇩🇪🇬🇧💜
In Germany we don't say: "So nice to get to know these to better!"
We say: "Haben die nichts besserers zu tun?" 😂
Loved the podcasts!
Greetings from Switzerland ❤
Hahaha this was a nice warm first episode! I love your interaction and you're both very funny. Thanks for starting it Valerie and thanks to Liam for listening to her haha
I agree. The warmth comes through. I'm grateful for another way to learn more about these two lovely people.
For our english bros:
The intro after "We say" translates to:
"Ugh now everyone is doing a podcast" -
"Wow, another thing to sleep to"
Thank youuu
Just got back from visiting my Germanised daughter. She wanted to go for a short walk, for fun. An hour later, we're still going! What is that all about!? 😕
Good luck with the podcast 👍😁
Nothing better than British humour……Hut ab to alle beide
Yes I identify with speaking crappy English albeit being British, I’m glad to be eingebürgert
Albeit macht flei
@@daniel.m703 Wow, quoting a Nazi slogan and making fun of the stereotypical East-Asian accent in only three words, what a great joke! (*cough* sarcasm *cough*)
@@daniel.m703 Passt nicht wirklich.
@@daniel.m703😅 War doch nur, weil die Aussprache unklar war, nicht so überempfindlich Leute.

Dear Valerie, dear Liam, I am a fan since the very first content! Love you both so much! But the grin at the end is the best at all!!❤
In Germany we say:
Jetzt sind wir auch noch Schuld daran, dass ihr einen Podcast machen müsst?
(Now we're also responsible for you having to make a podcast?)
You seem to be such a good fit for each other! Valerie looks and sounds like a very nice and lively person, while Liam sounds quite calm and sometimes looks (at least on the picture and in some videos) like he´s given up on live - Perfect balance 😁
Glad they did this, loved listening to them without the filter of a script
Hi, Im Japanese.
Im not used to speak English and German but Im learning German in my uni. Im really interested in British and Germany culture so this is my favorite channel. It really needs concentration to understand what you say but its fun to learn English and German! Thank you for creating contents and keep it up!
I'm really surprised, I thought you spoke German regularly together. Shame you don't! Liam, DO IT! Danke
Same here!
Get a grammar book so that you can learn the (complex) structure of the language correctly. Not surprisingly considering their love of compound words, German has the second largest vocabulary of any language.
I love the characters you play. Valerie you have picked up Liam’s English accent, in much of your conversation. I understand the culture shocks. I went from a Scottish culture to a southern English culture and I had a headache for a year. Later, I moved to the US, and there was still a culture shock but not as great as the first. I couldn’t understand much for a year. American, at least in the area I’m in, use a simplified English. British English has many more regional accents, and we have a lot more similar words but with subtle differences.
I miss UK humor, so you make me laugh. I also loved the German stereotypes. I used to speak German & French, but since I’ve been in US I use neither and have never seen or heard any Europeans, sadly. I love your content and you are a great team, and also a wonderful couple.
Your videos are always so interesting because i'm English too, with a German boyfriend so our experience are nearly the same. I did learn German though, my bf speaks amazing English like Valerie but luckily for me we speak mostly German to each other so i can practice. He's a great teacher and so patient correcting my grammar and pronunciation. Really glad we decided to do that.
You two are utterly charming!
Insane. A podcast after following you channel for just a few months. I personally am learning German so, all the skits just make it entertaining way for me to keep in touch with german. Though hearing that Liam is still struggling with it, its clear that I have a long way to go but, and hopefully I'll see more skits with the german persona doing german things with Linkin park songs. Great podcast btw.
I found myself internally screaming as you talk about your dilemmas while learning about each others' languages (because I relate with this), then giggling over your love story! I had a great time!
I love listening to the both of you! Please do more! 😊
I love the behind the scenes talk. Looking forward to more podcast content.
Great podcast, nice to have a bit of background story. I really enjoy the stuff you are doing and wish you all the best in the future🍀
I’d love a german-only episode! I’ve been learning the language so it would be cool to see a conversation with another non-native speaker and a native speaker 🙏
Seit ich eure Videos gucke, merke ich immer wieder wie gerne ich dem britischen Englisch zuhöre und wie viel ich dabei lerne ☺️🙏🏻
Ever since you mentioned that podcast in that one interview, I was looking forward to it.
Perfect to listen to while I'm cooking!
Would like to hear Liam,s german skills
Hello Liam and Valerie! I follow your videos for a few years now and I think the podcast is a great idea
When my Mother was 16, her parents sent her from the USA to a "finishing school" for girls in Germany. Mom spoke no German and lived with her aunt just across the border in Czechoslovakia. All of the classes in the school were taught in French, but outside of the classrooms, everyone spoke German and there were German literature classes as well. In addition, Latin was taught. On returning to the USA, Mom taught French, German and Latin. She and her parents often spoke Czech., esp. when they didn't want me to understand. There were always books and newspapers at home in a variety of languages. Exposure to other cultures makes us less insular and that's a good thing.
Freue mich schon voll auf der Deutschepisode 😉
Grüße aus Australien!
"die deutsche Episode" Sorry, could not help myself. :D
@@darkawakening01 Wir sind halt ein Volk von Besserwissern.🤪
Frage an die „ewig Schuldigen“: Warum muss man sich für Korrektur entschuldigen und was hat das bitte mit Besserwisserei zu tun?
As far as episode ideas go - It would be interesting to hear about where you both grew up in more detail. Then we could get insight into both of your accents. Maybe expand it to talking about typical examples of your accents and regional vocabulary.
Don’t worry, Liam: I also struggle to pronounce my wife’s name properly. 🥲
Viele Grüße aus Franken
I really like the podcast so far, keep it coming! And as a Swissie, I can confirm that Swiss German is indeed its own language and one that doesn't make any sense at that.
My German husband and I also met when I couldn't speak German and now 13 years later, although I can speak quite ok, we still speak English unless we are around people who don't understand English. As you said, it just doesn't feel natural.
yea just dont learn the fckn language in the county where u are
my gf ukrainian 1 year in germany speaks better than guys who are 10 years here
This was great fun to listen to.
Knowing quite a few Brits, I think its amazing that Valerie did not only pick up the language and the accent so well, but also the mentality. Like this whole not taking oneself too serious, making jokes whenever they are funny and not when they are appropriate. I think Valerie you are still very polite, but you're getting more and more into it.
I want to hear more of that savage humour 😂
Or situations where the humour got you into trouble in Germany.
In Germany we don´t say: "Hey, nice, good luck and much success with your new project..."
We say:" Naja, müsst ihr ja wissen. Macht ihr mal..."
;)
oder "Schuster, bleib bei Deinen Leisten"
I LOVE the woman character 😂😂😂😂 she’s like a perfect spartan mom 😂😂😂😂
I love your vids bro. I never knew how german i really was until you showed me! 😁
Ihr beide seid so sympatisch schön euch in podcast form zu hören. :)
Valerie! ❤ She has the sweetest vibe
Hey guys this is cool. I enjoyed listening to this the BTS stuff about you guys. Always had a laugh at your videos about German languages/culture. Would be awesome to listen another blog if there will be another one!
Ich will mit Euerem Podcast mein Englisch verbessern.👍
In that case you should definitively also listen to Douglas Murray and / or Christopher Hitchens....! ! !
Thank you for this. I'm actually a German listening from England so I'm really skewing your stats.
I'd personally really like to hear more about ideas you had that you had to abandon - and about the time you got blocked! You can't drop something like that and not expect us to ask...
Juhuuuu! Congratulations on your podcast 😊 Actually came over to RUclips because I had hoped for a video version of it, that would be something I’d definitely watch ❤
In german we say: Dreiviertelstunde? Das will doch keiner hören.
Hahahaha! I read that in Liam‘s German alter ego‘s voice…
Amazing! I'm looking forward to this!👍 Could you please include the general podcast feed and/or other listening options for people who don't use spotify? Cheers!
This wholesome podcast reminded us our journey. My husband is British-Irish, and we speak our version of english at home, his "British banter" though... 😅 drove me crazy in the beginning. Now I am used to it. Everything Liam says, he can relate to, esp his english got worse in Germany. Brad will be naturalised this year, and he is doing his B2 exam as well. World is small, we have so much similarities ! LG aus Berlin 🎉🎉🎉
You guys are refreshingly funny. The subtle comedy is brilliant.
Wieso erinnert mich das Titelbild an dass Ghostbusterlogo? :)
Irgendwie hat Valérie auf dem Bild ja was Psychotisches an sich - hat was von Stephen Kings "Misery"... und der arme Liam hat sich stur seinem Schicksal ergeben...
@@red.aries1444 Erinnert an James Bond Poster (Octopussy)
@@red.aries1444 wow, das ist tief…
You can tell Valerie really loves Liam. She’s a keeper bro.
Im an American who is working on learning german so when i move there for school (next year hopefully?) so im excited to learn more about the in Germany learning and living experience!
This is such a crazy listen for me coz it sounds exactly like me and my girlfriend talking 😂 I’m currently trying to learn and trying to find the best way for me to learn German. I travel to Germany from London every other weekend and so many of your videos are relatable (especially where I thought the window was going to fall out 😂)
Love the videos and nice to get to know you both a little bit better. 500 hours of Mango in the past 11 months, but agree 100% that it can only get you so far…immersion is the plan
Amazing! So happy that you guys decided to start this!
I moved to Germany 2 months ago from South Africa and am really benefitting from your content 😄🙏
Keep up the great work!
Ich würde euch so gerne deutsch zusammen reden hören. :)
Hello Liam and Valerie! First of all thanks for all the great and Entertaining content. I find it so funny and very relatable as my husband and I are of the same background. He is English and I am German. Some of your shorts feel like an exact copy-paste of our marriage!!!! 😂
Brilliant! I have been following your shorts for months now and it's great to hear your podcast. I spent quite some time in Germany during my Army days and I think Liam's alter-ego the German guy is SOOOOOOO German! At least from an English point of view. During my time over there in the 80s lots and lots of Germans had what we referred to as 'Porn star' moustaches which you just did not see in UK. But socks with sandals was readily visible back then as now. Sacrilege!
Hi guys!
I've been watching your videos for a long time, and as someone from Spain living in Germany, I really relate to most of the situations you describe. :)
Just wanted to share that it's definitely possible to switch to German. My boyfriend is German, and we started off speaking English because I couldn't speak German at the time, and it felt like the fairest option. But over time, we've been slowly switching to German. At first, it didn't feel fair or natural, but it doesn't have to be every conversation right away (just sometimes, when you feel like it). With time, you might find yourself speaking almost entirely in German. :)
The podcast would be great with video, as well 🙃
Please do video yes! ❤
two minutes 30 in and I want more.... :D
“How would “IT” know they’re Spanish?”! Ignorance is bliss❤
im british and living in germany for 7 yrs and agree with the english getting worse part!! and my german is never getting better too because everyone around me wants to speak english!! hahah i love ur videos too they're so relatable
In Germany we don't say "Great podcast!" We say: "also bis jetzt gibt es nichts zu meckern."
Toll, noch etwas zum Einschlafen....
Mal reinhören.
you guys ❤ funny. Engaging great podcast
Liam you are doing great just relax and be yourself
looking forward to more. quite engaging!
….i met you and that was it!“😂😂😂😂😂
The Story is always the same😁
I never thought Liam you would be so serious and kind of reserved. Because in the videos you give the impression to be extrovert. And never thought Valerie likes to giggle a lot and be so warm and open. Very interesting.
Maybe a separate channel for the podcast would work? I'm interested in listening to some of the behind the scenes stuff 👀
Danke für den Podcast
In Germany we say: "Muss man nicht hören. Kann man aber machen."
Thanks for your clear pronunciation and for letting us know more about the two of you. It was easy to follow. It's a bit of a pity Liam chose not to learn proper German but if you plan to move back to UK it might be the better choice.
PS: "Wanted Adventure" also says goodbye using "Auf Wiedersehen". You're in good company. 😉
Listening to your podcast now and I am glad you did it in English. 😅 danke
I'm British but of German heritage & have found your content extremely relatable. I didn't even know the things I do in life are "German", my windows are always open, I walk for miles leaving friends behind in the dust & I'm blunt and to the point. The lot.
It's been fun seeing parts of my personality acted out. 😂
We say: Mach doch ma die Kamera an wenn du quatscht! Honestly would be better to see you both like in the short.
That was great. Learned about you from the late great Understanding Train Station.
I would love to hear a bit more of you speaking german. It doesn't have to be a full episode (although it would be cool), but it would be great if you did something where you don't just say 1 word or sentence or something like that but instead really have a conversation of several minutes in german.
if its possible, do u guys mind video recording urselves as well 😭 love this but i love watching both of ur facial expressions 🫶🏽 also some unsolicited advice .. it might be more financially beneficial if u make a second channel so u have 2 sources of income rather than 1. im not exactly sure how that works but i know people here (in the US) talk about it being better overall😊 just a suggestion
This is the first ever podcast i have tried listening to great content
Believe me, Google (YT) knows the heck of a lot better where you are from than you would like to believe. (regarding the conversation at around the 5 minute mark)
Listening to you both talking about speaking English at home is making me feel better about only ever speaking English to my Italian husband. I'm learning Italian and we've tried speaking Italian at home day to day many times but it just never seems to work 😂
As an aussie married to a german, german is actually super similar to English compared to other languages. We lived in India for a while and learning the language there was way harder than learning german and I never progressed nearly as far
Could just alternate between English and German. One English episode, then a German one and so on.
You guys are fun. I am a fan of British humor and the 'down to earth' way of thinking of the Germans. I grew up in a Dutch bordertown with Germany (near Aachen) which is heavily German oriented. I recognise a lot of the German sayings and behavior from my youth (I don't live in that region anymore).
I am so hyped for this podcast, and that doesn't often happen
Hi all. I am a bit drunk on Gin Tonic, so don’t expect gems of intellectualism.
I just want to say that as a German, there is something about England and the mindset or soul there I greatly appreciate.
I feel treated with respect by your videos, Liam, even though it is painful to be presented with a mirror. And that mirror is pretty accurate, lol.
I don’t care about Brexit or whatever. I just think there is something beautiful and enchanting (for lack of a better term) about the British soul - and I hope there is also something useful to the German soul.
I view your nice videos as a bridge, to that effect.
I am kind of missing the German woman who keeps dropping her baby lmao. 😆😆😆
Yall need to come to Dallas Texas!
A podcast! Finally! Looking forward to more episodes. And please keep it in English. As a German, I might improve my language skills. 😊
Why does this picture remind me of Ghostbusters? 😅 Love your
content. Now I gotta look for Pfand. Gute Nacht!
I forgot what the concept is called. But there are studies about couples where one or both speak a foreign language with one another.
The emotional language is set to English in your case, if you would have started in German your emotional language would be German.
The "problem" if you want to call it that about switching the language is that your complete life (emotional and otherwise) is organised and negotiated in English.
If you (also Valerie) try to switch, you both lose the ability to express your emotions and properly fight your fights.
There's an additional filter both of you have to pass to properly understand what the other want to say. (That is independent of the level, that's also the reason why everything works in English, no matter if Valerie speaks everything perfectly or not).
Your emotional base-line is English, expressing them in another language is a very hard thing with the same person.
Quite interestingly if you speak more languages you negotiate that with every person you meet (this traverses into other types of relationships as well).
I am sure thatif you are aware about that and you really would like to switch, there are possibilities but the question is if it's really worth it.
Because it ironically can cause a big struggle doing that and you have to renegotiate your emotional base layer.
That's also the reason why friends don't switch to English for training. It's so to say not "bearable". The natural understanding is lost.
But also, Liam I think you underestimate the level of German you're able to speak.
All those joke you make and all those German customs that you use by now in your mother tongue sign towards you blocking yourself.
You have a way better understanding and ability to express yourself without hitting a brain fart than you're able to consciously recognise.
Just relax and switch zu Deutsch. Ignorier alle Fehler, bzw. mach soviele wie du willst. Du hast viele deutsche Laute sehr gut gemeistert.
Ein bisschen mehr Selbstvertrauen und du sprichst in null komma nichts volle Konversationen, wo die Leute nicht viel rückfragen müssen, was du meinst.
Und in einer zweiten kurzen Zeit bist du fließend (vllt. abzgl. ein paar Fehlanwendungen von Artikel und Fall, aber das ist nicht verwunderlich ;-))
Cheers mate, and keep it up. Great content und ihr beide wirkt wirklich sehr angenehm.
I like the content , I’m learning German culture and it helps me bec. my fiancé’ is German . You both are cute couple😊.
Such a sweet conversation! Keep up sharing good mood!
Thank you very much for uploading this on RUclips as well!
I do not use Spotify, but instead I have RUclips Premium :)
So this is perfect!
❤ Thank you both ❤️
Part of the appeal for me as I lived in Germany and did some of the mistakes that Liam might have made or at least made in the content. Some of the things made sense whereas others did not. That was annoying. I remember a woman getting mad at me for picking out rhubarb stocks at the market. Apparently I was suppose to point and she was suppose to just take an amount and sell it to me. I did not want the dirty, yellowish ones and she did not like this. The other customers agreed with her and so I left. From their perspective they thought that they were right, but I did not want to pay for lousy rhubarb.
In the beginning I thought Liam was the German and Valerie was the English one 😂
Trapped in Germany by a German woman ...🤣
Her price for that is getting more used to speak English than German, maybe 😃
Hey! That was really nice and very funny! And now I'm wondering which city you've taken into consideration for moving to. One of the really big ones like Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Köln, Leipzig, Hamburg or Berlin. Or rather something like Ulm, Nördlingen, Heilbronn, Würzburg, etc.
I'm already looking forward to your next episode.
Greetings from Upper Swabia
Tschüssle
I was waiting for it
4:45 I would like to hear you speak German to see how you make it 😅😊
I really like the Podcast and that the both of you started it now 🥰
You two compliment each other perfectly!
This was fantastic! :)
"Schlagt mich nicht aber...." ich habe soeben erst erfahren das Liams Frau, Valerie heißt!
"Macht mir keinen Strick draus" aber der Podcast gefällt mir sehr gut. Ihr seid ein mega Team. Bitte mehr davon
Super sympathisch 😊😊😊
