This Germany travel guide is packed with must-knows before you visit Germany as a tourist, with a rundown of common tourist mistakes in Germany as well as answers to common questions like how to tip in Germany, Germany culture shocks, German culture and etiquette tips, where to go in Germany, places to visit in Germany, and more so you can have the Germany trip of your dreams!
*I hope you all enjoy this video about Germany!* Let me know in the comments if you have any more tips you'd like to add, or any questions :)
talk slower
Very informative!
lol i watched on 2x
Austrian here. German and Austrians don't jaywalk to set an example for children. You might see someone jaywalk every once in a while, but they will check first if children are present.
German here, I can confirm!
And you help parents to introduce their children in learning the laws. I would say it's a kind of respect.
No. We don't do it because it's the law for safety. Idc about the children, everyone benefits if you follow rules.
That is very elaborate👍 Plus Europe rail ticket now has a discount😮
As an American I find that so wholesome!
One thing about the toilette situation. If you are in a restaurant and have orderes something (and going to pay it of course), you can use the toilette and restroom for free (since you are a guest of the house and not only there to use the toilette)
The actual law is: Sit-down restaurants are legally required to offer free bathrooms. Although in tourist locations they often still have an attendant and it's generally expected that you tip them (at least if they're doing their job - it's very common in Germany to not tip if e.g. the bathroom attendant failed to refill the soap or a waiter screwed up an order and didn't apologize/fix it).
Detailed and clear expression🙏 Thx for ur devotion😘 I tried the app mentioned by comments section, amazingly it is 💥super save🤩
As a German, even though we look very grumpy and frowny, we are actually friendly, just in a rough way :D We love to speak english even when you try to speak German with us! When we stare at you, we are just curious and are mostly too shy or uncomfortable to approach you. This is your chance to create an adopt-a-german-program! :)
Regarding the Autobahn: Please don't go there intending to drive as fast as you can, it is incredibly dangerous. Germans tend to consider themselves the best drivers in the world and some of them carelessly use some stretches of Autobahn as their personal race tracks. Most germans tend to just go their personal middle ground comfort speed and leave the speeders on the left lane to their fun, but there are still a lot of deathly car accidents on the Autobahn every year, and you don't want to be involved in that. Believe me.
My coworker said Germans dislike American tourist is that true?
Not at all! We are very curious! Speaking from a recent experience as a German tourist surrounded by American tourists in Ireland though, I have to admit, we Germans are easily disturbed by other nations being louder and more touchy-feely than us. We do like our quiet comfort zones when it comes to holidays. ;-)@@meganmcbride7840
@@meganmcbride7840Some of us can be a loud, ignorant, and self-centered. Not all of us of course. I would probably dislike us too. I cannot stomach the majority of my fellow countrymen for the same reasons.
Great detailed sharing! thank you for your dedication 😍 Hope the rail tickets bought in a cheap price can use🥺
This makes me feel so happy bc I was always told Germans are mean and I’m going there in the fall. This makes me feel comforted tho
I cannot thank you enough for this. Planning my first trip there and I have the jitters about everything you discussed (and more). Thank you for making this video!
What a brilliant primer! So packed full of valuable information, culturally and practically. I'm fairly well travelled but haven't made it to Germany and this was my first video about travel there, so thanks.
I watched this as apart of research I’m doing for travel sites/blog/RUclips I want to start and just loved the video so much I stayed for the whole thing, awesome job! Now I can’t wait to go to Germany even though it wasn’t even on my list for a few years. Thanks ❤
You're amazing and precise! Most youtubers ramble on without pointing out the important stuff. I'm planning on visiting Germany this summer from Greece. I'll make sure to watch all of your videos ❤ Thank you!
Wow thank you so much for the kind comment!! Totally made my day. Wishing you safe travels to Germany!!! 🥰
This video is super helpful. Thanks for making.
Excellent tour of Germany, thank you!
Very informative and helpful!
Thank you so much for this informative video
I wish I watched this video before going to Berlin for the marathon last month. Didn't know what to expect but I ended up love Germany! Really wish I can go there in the future to explore more of it!
My uncle lives in germany he said when i turn 16 i can go there!!! My so excited for the day i do!!
Great info, Danke!
Great video!
Very well done, thumbs up. Not sure if you mentioned to learn bit of german as this is definitely a key opener. Yes, Germany is so different landscape, culture, people, regions, food. It take months to explore and every part is worth to see and to dive into it for a while.
I love and hate Germany. I was fascinated by the stunning scenery and rich history, but I was overwhelmed by the high cost. I think trainpal's discount coupon saved me.
Thanks for the tips and the video. You're so pretty!
Regarding train tickets: Whether you need to validate tickets depends on where you buy them. Usually, the train company vending machines (labeled DB) sell pre-validated tickets. The regional transport authority's vending machines (which are often the same type and next to the DB machines if you're in a DB train station) sell un-validated tickets. Since DB also offers regional transport tickets (so you can add connections), it's easy to buy an already-validated ticket by accident. Additionally, yes, public transport in general is on the honor system with random spot checks, but DB trains have much more regular checks than regional trains. Also, Munich and I think *two* other cities in Germany perform their spot checks at the station exits. This doesn't just mean that you need to keep your ticket until you've left the station, it also means that if you're dropping off a friend, you need to get a "platform ticket" ("Bahnsteigkarte") to be able to leave the platform without being fined for fare evasion. (There are usually big signs in Munich "no access without a valid ticket", and during a check, you can get a free platform ticket from the controllers)
Thanks for the video. I'm going to Germany and Switzerland in October for a Frankenstein Halloween trip.
I think an important note on the Autobahn is that even if you’re going through a no restriction area, the suggested “speed limit” is still 130kmh. If you’re involved in an accident above that speed, even if not at fault, you can still be held liable. At least that’s how I was informed when I lived there. I think a lot of people believe the autobahn is just a racetrack
I plan on visiting in june for Euro football tournament.. Your video was really helpful.. I will try looking up more details on inter-city train travel
Thanks for. Sharing this video. See u next day Munich 💓
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Very handy thanks
Great informative video
Great info. I really appreciate the rundown on the trains.
Some other thing’s to keep in mind is the price listing for purchasing things includes the tax. Something that is listed for 2 euros costs 2 euros. Out of the cities there are no public restrooms you will have to go to a business. Trains have them but strausses don’t. Most restaurants in tourist cities have a English menu if you ask them. To buy a ticket for a Strauss (street car that goes a long way.) you will need coins for the machine and they use town names not directions like north or south so you need a map on your phone. There is a map on the wall usually but it’s not user friendly. ATT has a $10 a day charge to use your phone but I’m not sure if the roaming charges will break the bank or not. I don’t know about Verizon. The No speed limit autobahn is not a myth just history. I was stationed there back in the 80’s and most of the autobahn between cities had no speed limit. Too many wrecks I guess. You did a really good job covering so much in a short video. Good job.
what the heck is a Strauss?? That word, spelled this way, does not exist in German. Spelled a little differently (Strauß) but pronounced the same way, it would mean Ostrich or bouquet depending on the context. I'd love to see some Americans asking "where is the Strauss" in the middle of Berlin haha. I guess you mean a tram/streetcar, but that would be "Straßenbahn", "Trambahn" or just "Tram".
Except for that detail, you are very much correct.
Thank youuu❤
Canadian here…of course you would use “excuse me” as an example 😂😂😂😂❤
Thank you!
I lived in what was then West Germany when I was in the army from 1981-1983. @10:33, quer-durchs-land-ticket (cross-country ticket) is pronounced approximately, "clear deutschland ticket".
I cant wait to go to Turkey again. So beautiful❤
I would love a video on the German train system! Could you also include info on children? 😊
Some impressions: ruclips.net/video/9sMuYLAChIc/видео.html and explanation how it works: ruclips.net/video/mwvor9zAEQc/видео.html
Very informative videos. Do you have videos of detailed information and step by step guide about train travels such as how many train stations in Munich, type train passes/card, where to purchase and cost?
Amazing
Enjoyed your video, can't wait for our 17 day trip in Sept/Oct to check out as much of Germany that we can.
Germany is my 2nd home the most beautiful in the world and very kind people as far as i know and i lived and worked over 15 years .
Regarding the photos: There is actually a set of privacy laws that mean that, for pictures taken in Germany, you need to get permission of everyone in the picture. Of course, there are provisions for photographing people on public squares as part of a crowd at a distance etc., but if you plan to post your pictures or movies publicly, (which includes RUclips etc.), you should look those up before you get in trouble. There are also some rather strict laws about operating drones (even small ones), even if they aren't equipped with a camera that surprise many content creators visiting here and can result in quite costly fines if you failed to get the required insurance and follow labeling laws.
Nah, i'm from germany and always Film or take Photos in Public without asking anyone, normally norbody cares at all.
This was a great video and will help me when Hubby and I go to Germany from the Christmas markets.
❤thanks .
What should one do regarding smartphones and travel? I don't have an international plan and I'm sure I would get large international roaming data charges just using my phone. So I would most likely need to get a sim card. Are there recommended companies? And if I get a sim card in Germany, would it work in other neighboring countries, or would I need to get a sim card for every country I go to. Lastly, where would I find these places outside of the airport? Thanks.
Thanks for this video and greetings from germany.
Loved your video lots of great tips! I’m traveling with my family flying to Amsterdam this December (2023) to visit Christmas markets. We have a week. What is the best path to take and towns to visit in a short time. Was thinking train from Amsterdam but not sure where to start. Any suggestions would be awesome! 😊
Train will be faster and has more scenery on the way🥹 and with discount the price will be affordable as well😂
I was looking at hotel options for Belgium and came across Motel One never heard of it saw they had locations in many countries in Europe I was looking to visit they look very nice good to know it's actually a good option I kept thinking the price was to good to be true good tips thinking about visiting Germany during Christmas seasons.
We will visit Germany this December. It will be my first time but my husband was stationed in Nuremberg from 78 to 80. Is there a link you can provide that will give me much of the info you went over in this vid? I really want information on travel options, trains, etc.
Hi. I just came across your video series & am looking forward to watching them all. I’m heading to Frankfurt in mid January 2024 for an entire month (my 1st international trip!). I’m tagging along with my husband who has to go for work. I’d love to hear some suggestions for daily activities for a woman to head out to keep busy exploring daily but to do so safely. We’re staying in a small town near the Military base about an hour from Frankfurt. Thanks & Happy Holidays 🎄
Hi! I was raised in Frankfurt, thanks for coming over to visit us! Reading that it's your first international trip, the advice I have is rather general. Apologies if it's too broad or obvious.
Firstly, I'd like to steer you towards TripAdvisor, which is much more catered towards travelers than RUclips. There's a things to do section from which you can pick all the sights you want to explore. There are also TripAdvisor forums on the web which can help you with any specific questions about Frankfurt.
Secondly, I'd like to share 2 tips for getting the most out of any foreign location: book a foodie tour, and stay away from people of your own nationality. Food tour, because it gives you a great feeling for the city and the guide can answer any questions you have on culture, people, food, locations and much more.
Regarding staying away from people of your own country, I do not mean this in a negative way. There's obviously something to learn from folks who have been there before you and speak your language. However, the greatest travel experiences have always occured when I've been outside of comfort zones, i.e. outside of your own tribe. So hop on a train to Mainz, and figure out the schedule and fares by talking to Germans. Go visit Munich, have some croissants in Paris, and admire snow covered peaks in Zurich. Nothing is really far away in Europe, you can drive, fly or take trains everywhere easily. Definitely do not stay at home all week waiting for your partner. If you're still here on Feb. 08, do visit Karneval in Cologne (forget about Fasching in Frankfurt, the real thing is in Cologne). Hope you'll have an amazing experience!
@@freshmojito I think this is great advice ! I’m not a huge fan of following the herd & would much rather avoid the big tourist destinations. I’m getting more excited about this adventure every day! No way do I play on sitting around the hotel all day. One doesn’t get opportunities like this at my age & I plan to savor it! Thanks for your response!!
what can i do on christmas day ?? will reach in the afternoon, are there any scenic places to visit because castles are closed that day
Something else. Don’t fear traveling to Germany or any ally country in Europe for a vacation. I have been to several and had a great time. I use Expedia. Watch for good deals on flights 6 or 8 months ahead of time. Go during slow tourist off season. I use hop on hop off buses where they have them. You can get a nice hotel on the bus route away from city centers cheaper.
Thank you for sharing your travel tips and experiences! Planning ahead, looking for flight deals, and traveling during the off-season are great ways to make the most of your trip and save money. Using hop-on-hop-off buses is also a convenient way to explore cities, especially for first-time visitors. It's important to research and find the best options that suit your travel style and budget. Your advice will surely be helpful to others looking to explore Europe and have a fantastic vacation.
plan on going there with no plan...just winging aimlessy with a pack and see what happens...best way to travel IMO..can't be disappointed if you have no expectations or plans. Lol
I live in Baden Württemberg. I travel a lot to authentic towns and also shoot videos. Welcome 😊😊
My area is called "Swabia". All regions in Germany are different. For example, if in Bavaria people say “Wunderbar“ (“incredible”), then in Swabia “incredible” will be “nicht schlecht“ (literal translation “not bad”). Understand different 😅That is, if your Swabian neighbor bought a new car, then you say - nicht schlecht. and that's ok 😊😊
Nice
Very informative and I choose Munich for my first time it seems friendly small and something I can handle, I would be more overwhelmed with anything else
can i book my seats in ticket desk at Schipol airport if part of my eurail pass travel is from luxembourg to germany?
Perfect content! Lots of important information! I enjoyed the video very much.
Please slow down!!! I think you are talking way to fast!
(Are you payed for words per second? 😊)
is there going to be one for Poland?
guten tag, welche kartoffel können sie empfehlen..?
My prince charming and I love your videos, specially the ones on Christmas markets in Germany. We have done trips to different regions of Germany for Christmas market season and currently planning a 4th this coming December. This time we will be in the North Rhine Westphalia region with stays in Köln, Münster, Dusseldorf, Aachen, Bonn and Monschau. The only disappointment I have had so far in Germany, especially in Bavaria was language related. I was wondering if you while you lived in Munich if you experienced anything similar to what I experienced. I took private online classes from Goethe Institute and am B1 level, so I would assume that while I can't claim to be totally fluent, I can certainly converse reasonably. Of course, being in Germany is the time to immerse myself, but sadly I would too often get, "You're not German, why are you speaking German?" and then either reactions varying from eye rolls, talking behind my back with co workers and being ridiculed (I could understand every word) and in one case being told that I shouldn't bother. I come from Montreal, Canada and speak 4 languages fluently aside from B1 German and when tourists come here and say a few words in French, we are thrilled with the fact they actually took the trouble to learn a few basic words. Therefore I am not understanding why Germans would react in that manner. We were also in Austria last December and their reaction was the opposite! They were thrilled that a Canadian who is not German would actually take up German and I was told by young and old that my pronunciation was excellent and they were more than happy to oblige in German. It made for some very interesting conversations, new friendships and dinner on the house by one restaurant owner and one very memorable evening with an invitation to stay with him and his family next time we are in Austria. All the best and keep up the great videos!
Their are idiots outthere every where you go, it is sad. I feel sorry for you.....
Very nice 🌹🌸🌺🌺🌼🎍
Just went to London and man their system is awesome. You just tap on and tap off with your card, so simple. It seems Germany every day we will have to buy a ticket and I saw some only last 2 hours?
Bronzer everywhere is definitely the way to go in the summertime. ❤❤❤😊
Hi Cristina! A new follower from Hawaii, love watching your content especially to a new or first time to travel in Germany or Europe. A helpful content and I hope I can message privately. Thank you and God bless you. 🙏
Thank you so much! Please do a detailed version on the trains. Can one carry luggage as an international traveller? How safe is it to store it somewhere? Thank you :)
Hi, German here! Most long distance trains (ICE) have luggage compartments within the seating area, where you can store your luggage and have an eye on all your stuff. Also usually Germans are quite polite on watching your things for you, too, if they are placed more remotely. Though even if there are stories on luggage being stolen out of those trains too. So still be a bit careful there. Train policies still require you to only bring as much as you are able to carry within one go, so be careful how much you bring. Regional trains are a bit more tricky as they don't have as much storage and there are more people bringing bikes, strollers, wheelchairs and other things, so this can be more complicated. Regarding your second question, all major train stations have huge locker rooms, where you can lock up your luggage, this costs just some small amount, like 2 € or something.
@@caroubaer Thank you very much for your detailed response. I am very grateful :)
Thank you for the video! We had made plans to visit Germany for about 3 weeks this coming August. Our plan is to go slow and we will be having a looping road trip starting from Frankfurt, moving south towards Stuttgart and East towards Munich and probably with a final stop at Nuremberg before heading back to Frankfurt.
Question is what kind of weather are we expecting for the month of August? We are really not sure what clothing to pack.
Thank you too for your website! Plenty of fantastic tips in there, will fill up our evenings nicely doing a bit of reading.
in general it is really, really hot in August, it is the hottest month.Temperatures between 30 - 38 degrees. If it is a "bad" summer, it can rain a lot and temperatures fall to around 20 degrees. But the last 20 years all summers were really, really hot
😱🥵🥵thank you!
Hope you have a great time there. We are doing something similar but only going for 2 2-1/2 weeks. Will be in Berlin at end of Sept for the marathon, then work our way down to Munich, then into Austria, then to Frankfurt, up to Hamburg and finish back in Berlin.
If it wasn't for the marathon we would have flown in and out of Frankfort, but wanted to make sure everything was as easy as possible before my race day. Can't believe it's only 5 weeks to go. Any tips on things to see or do in Germany we will gladly take them. Happy travels.
Thank you for telling me not to J walk, that could have been a problem….
Please..speak slower!!!! Lol😅 some of us are not natives ..still we love your videos!!!!
In the meantime: You can slow youtube videos down by clicking on the
'cog' symbol at the base of the video and choose 'playback speed' .25, .5 or .75. It really works well!
@@davidsciascia4654Awesome! I didn't know this feature and it really helped me 😊
What about trading dollars for Euros? No one really covers about exchanging money and getting a phone plan to use in that country
5:50 Oh yes! Foreign People love to stare!
Hey! This information has been extremely helpful! I was wondering if you (or anyone reading this) had any advice for me...I'm basing myself in Munich and wanting to make day trips to Lake Eibsee, Rothenburg and Neuschwanstein castle...it's my understanding that the Bayern card covers all these, the problem is the time restraints on that card. I'm a photographer and want to get to these places early to beat the crowds, which means arriving around 6-7am in the morning but the pass only starts at 9am!! Any suggestions on what I should do? I know the night pass would cover that time to get there, but it doesn't cover the trip back to munich. Is there another pass that would better suit this situation?
Hi! If you happen to be visiting on the weekend then the Bayern ticket is valid from midnight onwards. Otherwise maybe you can look into the D-Ticket (€49 for unlimited trains the whole month) if you’re gonna be using it enough. Otherwise I’m not sure - but maybe someone else here can chime in. Hope that helps!
@@HappytoWander Thank you so much! I'll look into that pass...I'm assuming something like that doesn't cover local busses (eg the bus from Fussen to the castle for instance)..do you know if I can just pay cash on the bus? or do you need to buy a local bus ticket? thanks so much again
@@rachel.isabelle you can! Only public transport in city areas you need to buy them in advance
This seems so stressful! I want to go to Berlin for my honeymoon!!
I was wondering, do they ID people as much as they do in the US? I understand there is a younger drinking age so I was wondering how much I will need my ID readily available
I have genuinely never been IDed once in Germany for ordering alcohol haha. If you have a very young face then maybe that’s a different story but I would say it’s not too common to ID, especially when compared to North America. Hope that helps! Safe travels :)
It depends on what you look like. If you're in an age where it's hard to guess you're an adult they ID you more often when you smoke or drink in public. I'm a native and was only two times ID'ed just by sitting on a bench in a park in my entire life (which was known for drug trafficing). But could be more often when you have darker skin, at least that's what immigrants blame about.
Thank u for sharing😍 Another useful content besides European rail offer video😌 Hope everyone enjoy their travel to Europe 🚂
@HappytoWander. I have a question about the regional pass. If i buy a regional pass for Baden-wurttemberg but im staying in frankfurt, do I need to buy a separate ticket from frankfurt to somewhere in Baden-wurttemberg before i can start using the regional pass? Or can i use the pass to go from frankfurt into Baden-wurttemberg?
Hi! The regional pass will only be valid in that particular region so you will need to pay your own way to get into BaWu. You may want to look into the Quer-Durchs-Land ticket, which is more expensive but covers you for trains all across Germany. Hope that helps!
Thank you it does!

@ GERMANY TRAVEL TIPS
Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
Great info. 🙏🏼
But speaking too fast for me 😂😂😂
Is Germany accessable for disable people
Depends on what you'd like to see and do. If you plan carefully, it's almost no problem. Above all in cities it's better than in most countries of the world. For example the parking spaces nearby the entrances of bigger supermarkets are almost always only for disabled people (with a special licence).
Whenever a German wants to give you hard time over punctuality, just tell them ‘DB’ and it shuts them up for good! I think Germans always look pissed because they have DB rail.
I'm sure It's great if you're a wealthy American.
You speak incredibly fast in the entire video like "no limits" Autobahn
Tap water is not only uncommon but frowned upon as usually the restaurants don't make any money on the food they sell but make their profit with the drinks, so by being cheap and getting tap water you are actively harming their business (and in recent years more and more restaurants have started to put tap water on the menue with a high price so that they can uno reverse card the people trying to scam them out of their profit when the bill arrives)
Is lemonade carbonated in Germany? Are fruit juices common? I can't drink alcohol, carbonated drinks, or coffee, so I'm basically limited to water (still), lemonade (non-carbonated), and fruit juices.
@@bonniea8189 oh "Limonade" is what you would call soda pop drinks in English, we don't really have an equivalent to actual lemonade. Fruit juices are very popular, however we drink them with breakfast, in a restaurant they will most likely not have them but Schorle (which is fruit juice mixed with sparkling water, as that practice is so popular in Germany most restaurants buy them already prepared and don't have plain juice). However "stilles Wasser" (still water) should be available at most places.
@@hmvollbanane1259 okay it sounds like _stilles wasser_ is my best option. I don't want to offend the restaurateurs, but I have health issues that prevent me from drinking just about anything else. 😕
@@bonniea8189and you shouldn't feel guilty or apologize to anyone for it.
It is your good will that you will sit down in a restaurant and spend money there.
Don't sacrifice your health to please people.
And don't let anyone convince you that this is the way it should be and that you are rude.

As someone who has lived in Germany for five years myself, I was told it's rude to ask if they speak English first. Just speak English. Depending on the age of the person you are talking to, you have a 70 percent chance they know.
Well, I'm 30 and I'd find starting the conversation in English kinda rude, except you act shy. There are still a lot of Germans (def. including young adults) who speak elementary English. The fluent ones have mostly a higher education or spoke it a lot in free-time in their school history.
@@tomschreiner3717 I have heard the opposite recently so I don't know what the etiquette is.
I feel like I’m just watching a commercial rather than an experience kinda disappointing
Their industry is superb for the fact that they r being defeated in world war 2 but come back stronger. Who dislike German engineering? ANS:NO ONE
Why does internet say that Americans with Service dogs are welcome but they refuse you access to taxi’s, Uber and even some stores. I need to get a good camera and start treating Germans the way disabled veterans are treated
Normally they are welcome. Dunno why some stores and taxis react that aggressive.
@@tomschreiner3717 perhaps they are annoyed by the Americans on the base, even I am annoyed by a lot of them.

Tip? We don't tip in Europe!
This Asian lady is very polite. I grew up in Germany and can't emphasize enough what a useless scrum institution DB is. One also needs to mention that they have parking for women in many park house. Probably since then they have parking for binaries and non-binaries whatever that may be. Glad I left when I did.
Good video, but you speak so fast it was hard to follow.
germany 😢
It's difficult to understand, you speak too fast 😢
You are speaking so ffast
I’d never come close to Germany voluntarily
Can you say that again! Your speaking way too fast 😂
Haha sorry about that! I’ve always been a natural fast talker, especially when it’s a topic I’m passionate about. I’ll try to slow down for future videos after August (because I batch recorded a bunch of these in advance). Thanks for the feedback! Hope the video was useful to you otherwise :)
@@HappytoWanderEnglish is not my native language and I am not very fluent in it and although I agree that you speak fast, I understood everything you said.
Except for a few words that I had to google 😄 but that's not up to you, but my knowledge of english.
Aside of that, I followed your speech without any problems👍🏻
you speak too fast. breath so I can understand better, please
You need to slow down, you are talking way too fast! Great content, but hard to listen to.
I agree it feels like the terms and conditions on a radio ad.
Just slow the speed down
I'm watching it on 2x and i understand everything maybe listen more videos in English it will help in English hearing skills. Trust me that's how I practiced.
Actually I liked her talking fast and not taking so much time
