UK 🇬🇧 is known as having one of the worst cuisines, whether it's the food or the taste, but Claudia is right on one point about food, Spain 🇪🇦 and France 🇨🇵 are famous for food tasting great.
@Henri that's because the UK is stereotyped as eating weird things such as jellied eels and Cockles and mussels ect... most people in the UK (including myself) have never eaten any of those things and a lot of the food we are known for is extremely old fashioned and was eaten out of necessity during war times 🙈 we actually eat quite normal food 😁 and curry was invented by the British and is loved by millions of people world wide 😋😄 don't listen to stereotypes and come try our food for yourself 🙂 I think u will be pleasantly surprised 😁😋❤️ XxXxX
@@kirstiebriggs3068 Curry was invented in India Tiki massala was invented in the UK get your facts straight. The food in the UK is average at best even American food is better an that says a lot because American food is not special either.
5:50 we have this in UK too, maybe the english girl just didn't know, but if you are a smoker you get smoking breaks (in most professions, but not all e.g. teaching) and everyone else just has to work *eyeroll*. I know some people who pretend to smoke so they can get an extra break lol, but I think it ends up not working coz you have to stand with all the smokers and it stinks
4:48 French and non-smoker here, and I 100% back her up on this one. Smoking cigarettes is so common in France that it's not even funny. And too many smokers just leave their cigarettes buts on the ground. I'm not sure how it happens that we are so behind on that front, but that issue will need to get seriously adressed at some point, it truly is one of the main flaws of the french culture right now.
You may be too young to realize that there has been a lot of change over the years. People used to smoke inside, in restaurants, night clubs, in their office etc... France simply has had more smokers historically, and as a result still is behind the other countries, but things have been moving over the years.
@@MN-vz8qm I'm well aware they've been changes that forced smokers out of many places. But the culture still is strong. And I don't think you can blame us being behind only to historical reasons. There are other countries that take more drastic approches to reduce the amount of smokers.

About the french "non optimistic view of life" in the way we speak : It is called a "Litote" (not truly an understatement but close). It's a figure of speech and more precisely an attenuation one. it consists in saying less in order to suggest more. Maybe sometime there is a part of bashfulness as you don't want to say frontly how you feel about something? Anyways, when you say that something is not bad you're saying that this thing is quite the opposite of bad, so well and even very well because there is not even a hint of "bad". And to me when someone says "not bad" it always sounds better than "good" :)
I think we germans like our rules because the give us some sense of security and stability. They help us building up our schedules and plans, but also help us if something or somebody does not work / do as it should.
Berlin people (ossi) are probably not agreeing with you entirely. When I was in Berlin, there were about a million angry Berlin people protesting against the government, so there's something as interfering too much (being draconian).
@@glennlgg6871 Oh yes, Austria (they probably come up with excusea like Wir haben es nicht gewußt) and Italia were no joke for sure. For unvaccinated people it became pretty much a hell on earth, being treated like second class citizens. But honestly, Australia has beaten them their game. Those maniacs even had a sort of Quarantine camp (I called them concentration camps) to were you get deported if you are unvaccinated or something like that. Being treated like a vermin.
I applaud, you, ladies, for you took these questions and handled them with the grace that each and everyone of you displays. Your country should be proud of your humility and your class ….. Haters will always hate they walk with evil in their hearts, and you, ladies have none of that
As a german who worked with refugees, we always told them they need to be at the appointment at 11am GERMAN time. Cause almost all of them kept arriving late to important meetings if you only said 11am. And many germans get really upset if you're just a little bit late :D
How can Hispanic American women be used as a stereotype for European Spanish women? Makes no sense. It is like using Americans to stereotype British women.
you know they took the questions from north americans and they cannot even say where is Spain and not any latin american country... like I understood it at first. They should have corrected them and take actual questions about Spain, but I must say we share a lot of things and those questions are also to Spain bc they are accurate for us too.
@Daniel Sancheski It has nothing to do with having "Spanish blood", they are people who behave completely different, it's like saying that an Australian and an English behave the same because they have "English blood" or that a Senegalese and a French behave the same because they have "French blood" makes no sense🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I live in germany over 15 years. As an asian german i can say germans are really on time if they meet some friends or making an appointment. they got trained as a little kid too make it on time. If i visit china or vietnam they notice my funny accent if i speak the native language and say its to aggresive. because of my german influence as a kid.
@@karllogan8809 Might be due to the tones especially the 4th tone of mandarin, you have to be sorta decisive or else the tone will be wrong. Its not a language you can linger on a word so to speak.
That might also come from sounds that are voiceless in chinese for example most consonants are voiced in german, and voiced sounds will be harsher than unvoiced ones. And if you didnt grow up speaking them unvoiced its really hard to almost impossible to do so later in life. (I am not asian but as a norwegian studying mandarin in uni I know me and alot of my classmates struggle with this.)
As someone who doesn't like to smoke, who sneezes and has problems feeling smoke around, it would certainly not be a good idea to stay in France as Athalane says is very common
Yep, Same happens in Spain. Although there have been a huge improvement in reducing tobacco over the last 15 years. The worst thing is that they keep saying they can do whatever they want because they are cool and if you are against smoking then you are an oppressor and that kind of random stupid things...
There has been improvements but it really depends where. I studied in Lyon back in 2015 and didn't have a big issue on this. I absolutely hate smoke and I have trouble breathing around it so I was glad I didn't come across this as much. Same when I was in Paris, didn't come across this issue tbh. I have a feeling in smaller towns when more traditional people live and they probably love to smoke lol
@@Jorgerally35 There's a 500 metres street in Madrid between my hospital and the nearest subway station, and I really *hate* it when I must go to some doctor appointment.

I think the gold digger stereotype is mostly targeted at Eastern European countries. Poor, struggling former-Bloc women trying to marry into a better life. All those Russian mailorder brides, and whatnot.
Our neighbors took in a 🇺🇦mom and her child. 4 weeks later she had to move houses as she tried to gold dig the hubby and snatch him for herself… I blame the poor environment that makes you careless and lower your boundaries, but it came as a shock when we learned about this. We heard several of such stories by now from other families.
The main thing with germans is that they don't come up with small talk. They say what they think, which sometimes can be seen as rude by other country's.
To me, German stereotypes basically embody earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). Serious, rigid, very literal with little room for figurative interpretation, obsessed with order, hence why they are addicted to rules that are convoluted to address any loopholes. I feel like this started with the Prussians militaristic values, and kind of became ingrained in everyday German lifestyle to an extent, as it led to an industrious success.
as a french man, i can say that it's not that we're pessimistic, but french people are very pride people. Give a french a compliment and he would be fooled by his ego. So we don't make strong statement that express interest. like "it's good", "you're the best" or "that kind of stuff". And it's more about "not bad" or "quite good" or "it's decent". French also are realy build with philosophic tradition of "thesis-antithesis" which make us always finding the limits of every statement, appreciation and reflection we're making. The first thing we think about when someone sayd something is "what the limit of what have been said". PS: yeah, we smoke a lot and i hate it.
So like if i say "Hey, your shoes look pretty cool" you'd be like "You mean very cool? Or just cool?" ? Or is it more like your friend next to you would be like "And what's about my shoes?!" ? It's a interesting theory, please don't get me wrong ^^
@@baghira2761 i would be like if a stranger say to me my shoes are cool. I would say he has either love interest or he's drunk or he has weirdly admiration on me (don't know why, maybe he try to sell me something). If it's a close friend, i would just think he's trying to tease me with disturbing fake over-interrest or he think i realy evolved since the time we knew each other. Normal compliment would be like "your shoes are not bad. or you shoes... decent enough..." or add with negative side statement of desinterest like "your shoes are horibly cool" or "weirdly cool". or "i'm not acustomed to see you with so cool shoes" or "don't get me wrong, but today you look cool". positives feelings are ok in french and realy appreciate but if you say as raw as they are they would seems a bit overwhelming, and make you look "naive" or "leech-like".
@@baghira2761 I'm French too but very different from what Etienne explained. In fact, I don't even recognize French in what he says.. If someone comes to me in the street telling me my shoes / hair / clothes are beautiful, you'll just see a big smile and hear a big thank you. We won't emphasize the compliment though, and maybe not return it not to sound hypocritical. It could be a bit embarrassing to be complimented so we won't talk about that much, but no one (except men maybe) will think that the person is hitting on you or has a weird admiration.. You can easily see a genuine compliment so it is taken as it is. Another thing is, if the person is really embarrassed by the compliment because that person lacks confidence or anything, he/she could respond by a self deprecating joke. I think Etienne explained the point of view of a bit macho man 😜 Not daring to compliment genuinely your friends or strangers without thinking it's teasing or love interest
Trust me, in countries which are not economically well of are much worse. Sometimes it is almost offending, because with white skin you look like a walking atm in these countries. So you cant trust any compliment.
In Spain, it sometimes happens that when a party is organized in a small town, the organizers ask what time they want the events to start, and if they want them to start, for example, at 9:00 p.m., they announce it for 8:00 p.m., because they know that the people are going to be late.
The punctuality... It´s a funny cultural difference. To me, it shows respect to the other person when I respect their time and time plan. So when they say "at 3", I will be there like 3.02- 3.05 :D. And it´s the other person´s job to schedule the preparation. If you invite somebody for lunch at 1pm, you don´t get up at 12 and go shopping at 12.30 :D. Of course, accidents happen. Oh, I am sorry, I burnt it, so I had to do it again and I am late- yeh, that´s fine :D.
The fact that the French smoke a lot has even made it to Germany. In my region, near the border with France, we have the saying: "For a good French breakfast you need 3 things: 'A croissant, a milk coffee and a box of gauloises. '"
It's not that the French (and Europeans) are negative, but people will not pretend to be happy or impressed out of sheer politeness. So when a Dutch girl says; 'Oh wow...I am genuienly impressed' she means it and she is very much impressed. When an American girl says; 'Oh wow...I'm genuienly impressed!' she might be somewhat impressed, but not necessarily a lot. We don't give out compliments easily and we mean what we say, so 'That is amazing' is only said to things that amaze us, not to a drawing that our co-workers 4-year old daughter made.
My family came to the US from Germany. My friend Armando immigrated from Mexico. We were meeting for lunch at 11:00. I arrived at 10:50. I waited until 11:30 then I went into the buffet to eat. Armando arrived at 11:30.
2:00 interesting cultural differences. In the southern US, if our friends/family is the host.... we show up on time specifically to help them in case they are running a bit late. And depending upon the size of the engagement, we may even help the day prior. Again, this is the southern US.... our regional culture is very loving, caring and helpful.
4:27 the phenomena that is being discussed here is that when people try to interpret a different culture using their own culture as the reference then the wrong assumptions are very often made. This is the case when people from many european nations believe that people in the US are "fake" or "insincere" because we greet each other by something similar to "How are you doing". The incorrect assumption is that we are being fake and that we do not actually care how the person is doing. The actual truth is that it is nothing more than a cultural polite manner of greeting in the US.... it is not done in other cultures which makes sense.... if all cultures were the same then there would be no difference between them, yes? I have friends in many east and west european nations and we've all been fascinated with the differences in cultural habits and expectations.
In spain the thing with cigarettes is the same as in france :( they usually start smoking at their 12 or 13 just to be 'cool', there are so many people smoking all the time here :(
And if you're next to the border, you might also have noticed the french crossing the border just to buy cigarettes because they're not taxed as much in spain than in france.
i went to an exchange trip to the UK as student when i was like 13 years old. They told us we get pizza for dinner, but when i walked into the room and saw the plate they put beans all over the pizza.. is that common??
That's yuck-in my former spouses country , Eastern Europe area, I saw people put corn on top of their pizza, also yuck,corn doesn't belong on pizza, neither do beans unless it's a Mexican pizza, pizza in the old world can taste okay , but it's tiny and not as big or delicious as our kick ass Italian 'American ' pizza in Philly
Well, a lot of russian girls that speak spanish in the social media say very directly that if you want to date a russian woman, you are expected to pay all the bills not because they aren't economically solvent but because you as a man must show that you really care about them. I think some people misunderstood that cultural feature as being "gold digger". But, I don't know if that is even true and if it is true probably is only Russia and not all of Eastern Europe.
Coming from a Russian, most of them ARE gold diggers lol. Especially to a foreigner. You’d do anything to get a EU citizenship. Especially if you’re not the one paying for it, and the poor naive idiota is :D
It's the general traditional approach anywhere. Until recently, not doing it was considered going "on a Dutch date" in English-speaking countries as well, but feminism won.
@@Humanophage There is a paradox in the West with this mainstream feminism: More and more women are economically independent, even wealthier than men and, in a first moment they are willing to share and even pay for stuff in a relationship in order to prove their value, but, in doing so, themselves, their familiy and friends end up concluding that they are "too valuable to be with that man", therefore they break up their current relationship, looking for a man enough valuable for them, which means a man who is wealthier than them, and, when they find him, they are again in a position of submission to a man.
As a Russian girl, I confirm this. Although now young girls like me want to be more equal, and often refuse to be sponsored by a man. For me this is strange. Although many guys in Russia consider it the norm to pay for a girl. But for some reason this means for me that in the future I will be in debt, and that if a guy pays for me, then I also have to pay him somehow (for example, +18), and this is extremely disgusting for me. So I think many Russian girls prefer to get their own money and not their man.
I don’t think it’s impolite to arrive at the specified time in Spain xD it’s common and “allowed” to arrive late, but arriving at the time or soon is not bad

French was mostly likely Germanic people in the first place. When the Roman Empire took over France (Gaul at that time) They adopted and embraced the Latin/Roman Culture There is some connections between us 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 No, the Germanic language has brought very little to the French language. Remember, the letter R was rolled until the 18th century. French is a Roman Latin language. It's a bit like English it's a hybrid language, we could rather say that French is the most Germanic Latin language, and English is the most Latin Germanic language.
And you have a lot of sch ng au and chhh and sharp 's' in your language, whereas Dutch (for example) also has seperate words, but with softer oh ah eh ih uh noises. A bit like the French fruttiputtipuh-kindof sound, but seperated word like the Germans.
Listening to German music erased that stereo type of it sounding like an aggressive language for me. I’ve been listening to a lot of Annenmaykantereit and their music made me appreciate the language and see beauty in it
If you like to listen to music, which is played in the radio in Germany and in German try Mark Forster, Wincet Weiss, Johannes Oerding, Tim Bendzko, Silbermond, Max Giesinger, Fanta4, ... There are a lot more ;) Personal favourites of mine are Die Prinzen and Spider Murphy Gang (but they sing sometimes in their Bavarian dialect).
I know that alot of dates I go on if its expensive they usually offer to share, and often wont take no for an answer. But if its somewhere cheaper ill usually pay, feels wrong to split the tab on a kebab and a pilsner.

I know states in the us vary aswell but its not nearly to the same degree.
”C’est bien...” Probably à confusion from an English speaker who had been taught to never translate "well done! " which is positive by "bien fait ! " which is very negative. "Bien fait" is in fact the short for "c'est bien fait pour toi ! " with a meaning of instant karma: you did something wrong, now you are well punished. You ate too many strawberries, so now you have a stomachache c'est bien fait (pour toi).

I swear the stereotype that German sounds aggressive comes from that one video where they compare languages and the guy says them aggressively on purpose as a joke. Everyone believed that. And of course speeches from WW2.
Most likely the German language has been intimidated. My girlfriend is German. I met across the border. She felt ashamed about the History of her Germany. I kept telling her. "That's all the past" Time to move on and build a strong Franco German Relationship"
The stereotype is quite old, but I feel like german can sound agressive but I also know alot of german dudes who sound quite camp when they talk, which I always found cute 😅
I think the stereotype about European Women is more for eastern European woman not western. The Spanish Stereotype is coming from Hispanic Americans so not sure how accurate it is.
The thing with English food is it comes from war time where we didn’t have access to many ingredients from outside the UK. It’s all like home cooked simple and filling food. Like nothing beats your own mums Sunday roast.
I imagine that has probably changed a lot since so many people in the UK now have roots in Africa, Asia, etc. I mean nowadays you almost can’t have a conversation with a British person without them mentioning curry.
But you must have had a food culture before the 1940s? Did that die with the war? (In my country we eat a lot of dishes with roots in the 1700s, despite being very (or a little too) open to foreign influences.)

I jay walk a lot in areas and at times when i know its save to do so cause in this Situation like a one way one lane street where nothing is coming id be an idiot to wait for the lights. Just as one example
Just saying "I jay walk in a lot of areas" is laughable to most southern Europeans with horrible traffic! We do follow rules quite strictly and on top of that we like to remind others to follow the rules as a society. ;) It's quite annoying but also part of the German way and nothing to be ashamed of.
When we lived in Berlin, we used to joke about how the Germans pretend that they’re really organised and have set rules etc but that actually everything is in chaos and no one knows what’s going on.
The German punctuality is no joke! I live in Germany now and arrived 3 minutes late to bring my toddler son to his friend’s birthday party at a public park and I was the LAST one to arrive. The child having the birthday was half Greek half German so the setting up was still taking place but the guests were all very punctual 😂 My background is Caribbean/Trinidadian 🇹🇹 + Southern Black American 🇺🇸 so it an adjustment. I am usually better at time these days but my bike with the child trailer has broken and ironically German trains are not very punctual.
In Germany, if you check in to work at 6am but you enter your exact workstation at 6:05am, you've just lost 30 mins of pay. x am doesnt mean arrive at x am, it means we pay you to start work at 6am, German also has a 5 min rule ever hour to smoke and it's paid but it's starting to die as a trend among work places. In some places in Germanym they will scream at you "Abstand 1,5m!!" or "1,5m separation" for social distancing, or yell at you "Stop!" when you try to cross a red light when there are no cars. So, i always say "jajaja, das ist bei mir egal" , "ya ya ya i dont care" and the old people will mock me with "ja ja ja egal egal egal egal", my German friend told me some old people in Germany can be very cranky because they are old.
We call these yelling people who watch and reprimand other people "Hobby-sheriffs" or "Freizeit-sheriffs"😂 They don't have anything else in their lives that makes life worth living.
Tatsächlich gilt man mancherorts auf der Arbeit als verspätet, wenn man nicht eine Viertelstunde vorher da ist, also man muß bei Arbeitsbeginn morgens 6:00 spätestens 5:45 da sein, 5:46 gibt eine halbe Stunde Lohnabzug. Ist aber nicht überall so.
the german thing with rules isn't what she thinks it means, it's about regulations and laws, she just misunderstood that, since rules are defined a bit differently in german where rules are made by, for example, your parents on a holiday, that's what she is thinking about and of course kids like to break those. so, since she had the wrong idea about, what the text was about, i'll clarify, germany has a strong bureaucracy that pumps out loads of regulations all the time, often hindering new ideas and developments, that's a fact.

In the uk there is the Caribbean-English culture which is the biggest example I can think of, it’s the result of children of past Caribbean immigrants (mainly Jamaican) mixing their parents culture with the one they’ve been born in, which is English culture. So it spreads and now we have that sub culture which has a different accent, slang, food, music genre and it’s a known sub-culture within English culture and people from other backgrounds adapt to it, suing the slang, dressing the same, listening to the music. Another example is Arabian-English culture

5:50 we have this in UK too, maybe the english girl just didn't know, but if you are a smoker you get smoking breaks (in most professions, but not all e.g. teaching) and everyone else just has to work *eyeroll*. I know some people who pretend to smoke so they can get an extra break lol, but I think it ends up not working coz you have to stand with all the smokers and it stinks
in Germany we have that too, and at least where I work, non-smokers can go for a coffee or tea instead of smoking.
4:48 French and non-smoker here, and I 100% back her up on this one. Smoking cigarettes is so common in France that it's not even funny.
And too many smokers just leave their cigarettes buts on the ground.
I'm not sure how it happens that we are so behind on that front, but that issue will need to get seriously adressed at some point, it truly is one of the main flaws of the french culture right now.
You may be too young to realize that there has been a lot of change over the years. People used to smoke inside, in restaurants, night clubs, in their office etc...
France simply has had more smokers historically, and as a result still is behind the other countries, but things have been moving over the years.
I mean France didnt have a real public smoking ban before 2007, before then you could smoke in schools and hospitals for christs sake 😂
@@MN-vz8qm I'm well aware they've been changes that forced smokers out of many places. But the culture still is strong. And I don't think you can blame us being behind only to historical reasons. There are other countries that take more drastic approches to reduce the amount of smokers.

Athalane is beau-ti-ful ⚜🇲🇫⚜
About the french "non optimistic view of life" in the way we speak : It is called a "Litote" (not truly an understatement but close). It's a figure of speech and more precisely an attenuation one. it consists in saying less in order to suggest more. Maybe sometime there is a part of bashfulness as you don't want to say frontly how you feel about something? Anyways, when you say that something is not bad you're saying that this thing is quite the opposite of bad, so well and even very well because there is not even a hint of "bad". And to me when someone says "not bad" it always sounds better than "good" :)
I think Europeamns only say 'good' when they mean good. Not to be polite, it just only deserves the title of 'good' when it is actually good.

How can Hispanic American women be used as a stereotype for European Spanish women? Makes no sense. It is like using Americans to stereotype British women.
Dude, those who organize these videos and choose the questions are Americans, do not ask them to give more of themselves😂😂
you know they took the questions from north americans and they cannot even say where is Spain and not any latin american country... like I understood it at first.

@Daniel Sancheski When did I say I was Hispanic? I am of East Asian descent.
@Daniel Sancheski But with that logic, let us use Anglo-Americans to stereotype English people.

I live in germany over 15 years. As an asian german i can say germans are really on time if they meet some friends or making an appointment. they got trained as a little kid too make it on time. If i visit china or vietnam they notice my funny accent if i speak the native language and say its to aggresive. because of my german influence as a kid.
Chinese sounds pretty aggressive to my Canadian ears, on par with German.
@@karllogan8809 Might be due to the tones especially the 4th tone of mandarin, you have to be sorta decisive or else the tone will be wrong. Its not a language you can linger on a word so to speak.

As someone who doesn't like to smoke, who sneezes and has problems feeling smoke around, it would certainly not be a good idea to stay in France as Athalane says is very common
yeah france is a smoking country
Yep, Same happens in Spain. Although there have been a huge improvement in reducing tobacco over the last 15 years. The worst thing is that they keep saying they can do whatever they want because they are cool and if you are against smoking then you are an oppressor and that kind of random stupid things...
There has been improvements but it really depends where. I studied in Lyon back in 2015 and didn't have a big issue on this. I absolutely hate smoke and I have trouble breathing around it so I was glad I didn't come across this as much. Same when I was in Paris, didn't come across this issue tbh.

I think the gold digger stereotype is mostly targeted at Eastern European countries. Poor, struggling former-Bloc women trying to marry into a better life. All those Russian mailorder brides, and whatnot.
Same for low income nations in SE Asia. Particularly the Philippines.

The main thing with germans is that they don't come up with small talk. They say what they think, which sometimes can be seen as rude by other country's.
I'm not German and it's not a problem at all
To me, German stereotypes basically embody earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn). Serious, rigid, very literal with little room for figurative interpretation, obsessed with order, hence why they are addicted to rules that are convoluted to address any loopholes. I feel like this started with the Prussians militaristic values, and kind of became ingrained in everyday German lifestyle to an extent, as it led to an industrious success.

as a french man, i can say that it's not that we're pessimistic, but french people are very pride people. Give a french a compliment and he would be fooled by his ego. So we don't make strong statement that express interest. like "it's good", "you're the best" or "that kind of stuff". And it's more about "not bad" or "quite good" or "it's decent". French also are realy build with philosophic tradition of "thesis-antithesis" which make us always finding the limits of every statement, appreciation and reflection we're making. The first thing we think about when someone sayd something is "what the limit of what have been said".
PS: yeah, we smoke a lot and i hate it.
So like if i say "Hey, your shoes look pretty cool" you'd be like "You mean very cool? Or just cool?" ?
Or is it more like your friend next to you would be like "And what's about my shoes?!" ?
It's a interesting theory, please don't get me wrong ^^
@@baghira2761 i would be like if a stranger say to me my shoes are cool. I would say he has either love interest or he's drunk or he has weirdly admiration on me (don't know why, maybe he try to sell me something). If it's a close friend, i would just think he's trying to tease me with disturbing fake over-interrest or he think i realy evolved since the time we knew each other.
Normal compliment would be like "your shoes are not bad. or you shoes... decent enough..." or add with negative side statement of desinterest like "your shoes are horibly cool" or "weirdly cool". or "i'm not acustomed to see you with so cool shoes" or "don't get me wrong, but today you look cool". positives feelings are ok in french and realy appreciate but if you say as raw as they are they would seems a bit overwhelming, and make you look "naive" or "leech-like".
@@baghira2761 I'm French too but very different from what Etienne explained. In fact, I don't even recognize French in what he says.. If someone comes to me in the street telling me my shoes / hair / clothes are beautiful, you'll just see a big smile and hear a big thank you. We won't emphasize the compliment though, and maybe not return it not to sound hypocritical. It could be a bit embarrassing to be complimented so we won't talk about that much, but no one (except men maybe) will think that the person is hitting on you or has a weird admiration.. You can easily see a genuine compliment so it is taken as it is. Another thing is, if the person is really embarrassed by the compliment because that person lacks confidence or anything, he/she could respond by a self deprecating joke.
I think Etienne explained the point of view of a bit macho man 😜 Not daring to compliment genuinely your friends or strangers without thinking it's teasing or love interest

Gold digging is a phenomena without boarders.
I see alot of them in London too.
thats due to the fact that there are women in California
Trust me, in countries which are not economically well of are much worse. Sometimes it is almost offending, because with white skin you look like a walking atm in these countries. So you cant trust any compliment.
Yes, there were a lot of gold diggers in the 19th century in California. But most of them were men :)))
In Spain, it sometimes happens that when a party is organized in a small town, the organizers ask what time they want the events to start, and if they want them to start, for example, at 9:00 p.m., they announce it for 8:00 p.m., because they know that the people are going to be late.
The punctuality...
It´s a funny cultural difference. To me, it shows respect to the other person when I respect their time and time plan. So when they say "at 3", I will be there like 3.02- 3.05 :D.
And it´s the other person´s job to schedule the preparation. If you invite somebody for lunch at 1pm, you don´t get up at 12 and go shopping at 12.30 :D.
Of course, accidents happen. Oh, I am sorry, I burnt it, so I had to do it again and I am late- yeh, that´s fine :D.
The fact that the French smoke a lot has even made it to Germany. In my region, near the border with France, we have the saying: "For a good French breakfast you need 3 things: 'A croissant, a milk coffee and a box of gauloises. '"

It was great to hear about the different stereotypes and explanations from the ladies, Thanks!
It's not that the French (and Europeans) are negative, but people will not pretend to be happy or impressed out of sheer politeness.
So when a Dutch girl says; 'Oh wow...I am genuienly impressed' she means it and she is very much impressed.
When an American girl says; 'Oh wow...I'm genuienly impressed!' she might be somewhat impressed, but not necessarily a lot.
We don't give out compliments easily and we mean what we say, so 'That is amazing' is only said to things that amaze us, not to a drawing that our co-workers 4-year old daughter made.
My family came to the US from Germany. My friend Armando immigrated from Mexico. We were meeting for lunch at 11:00. I arrived at 10:50. I waited until 11:30 then I went into the buffet to eat. Armando arrived at 11:30.

2:00 interesting cultural differences.
In the southern US, if our friends/family is the host.... we show up on time specifically to help them in case they are running a bit late. And depending upon the size of the engagement, we may even help the day prior. Again, this is the southern US.... our regional culture is very loving, caring and helpful.
4:27 the phenomena that is being discussed here is that when people try to interpret a different culture using their own culture as the reference then the wrong assumptions are very often made.
This is the case when people from many european nations believe that people in the US are "fake" or "insincere" because we greet each other by something similar to "How are you doing". The incorrect assumption is that we are being fake and that we do not actually care how the person is doing. The actual truth is that it is nothing more than a cultural polite manner of greeting in the US.... it is not done in other cultures which makes sense.... if all cultures were the same then there would be no difference between them, yes?
I have friends in many east and west european nations and we've all been fascinated with the differences in cultural habits and expectations.

Well, a lot of russian girls that speak spanish in the social media say very directly that if you want to date a russian woman, you are expected to pay all the bills not because they aren't economically solvent but because you as a man must show that you really care about them. I think some people misunderstood that cultural feature as being "gold digger". But, I don't know if that is even true and if it is true probably is only Russia and not all of Eastern Europe.
Coming from a Russian, most of them ARE gold diggers lol. Especially to a foreigner. You’d do anything to get a EU citizenship. Especially if you’re not the one paying for it, and the poor naive idiota is :D
It's the general traditional approach anywhere. Until recently, not doing it was considered going "on a Dutch date" in English-speaking countries as well, but feminism won.
@@Humanophage There is a paradox in the West with this mainstream feminism: More and more women are economically independent, even wealthier than men and, in a first moment they are willing to share and even pay for stuff in a relationship in order to prove their value, but, in doing so, themselves, their familiy and friends end up concluding that they are "too valuable to be with that man", therefore they break up their current relationship, looking for a man enough valuable for them, which means a man who is wealthier than them, and, when they find him, they are again in a position of submission to a man.
As a Russian girl, I confirm this. Although now young girls like me want to be more equal, and often refuse to be sponsored by a man. For me this is strange. Although many guys in Russia consider it the norm to pay for a girl. But for some reason this means for me that in the future I will be in debt, and that if a guy pays for me, then I also have to pay him somehow (for example, +18), and this is extremely disgusting for me. So I think many Russian girls prefer to get their own money and not their man.

*Is it just me or Athalene is one of the most aesthetic names* ?
It's an old celtic name, I think.
She probably is from northern France.
I think the stereotype about European Women is more for eastern European woman not western. The Spanish Stereotype is coming from Hispanic Americans so not sure how accurate it is.
Yes Spanish just sleep around, it what I heard in London👌

The thing with English food is it comes from war time where we didn’t have access to many ingredients from outside the UK. It’s all like home cooked simple and filling food. Like nothing beats your own mums Sunday roast.
It's like I thought I hated beans and then I visited UK and I just loved them there. Unfortunately I cannot cook them that good at home.
I imagine that has probably changed a lot since so many people in the UK now have roots in Africa, Asia, etc. I mean nowadays you almost can’t have a conversation with a British person without them mentioning curry.
But you must have had a food culture before the 1940s? Did that die with the war? (In my country we eat a lot of dishes with roots in the 1700s, despite being very (or a little too) open to foreign influences.)
As an Englishman, I'm still wondering why europeans are obsessed with pointing out our flaws, and throwing up their opinions. They're always comparing themselves to England. I don't care enough tbh
@@herrbonk3635 yeah full English breakfast, pork pies, and fish chips. Simple and hearty working class food. This island doesn't have herbs spices around
3:13 Yeah...I agree with Claudia. I know a lot here in Puerto Rico like parties, and it's not bad, but I don't usually go to parties. Maybe because I'm more shy, and introverted 😅 5:18 I would hate going to France then 😬 Would be awful for my mom since she's asthmatic.
I just love each country for their positive stereotypes (although Italy wasn't represented here): I want to wear French clothes (sometimes Italian or German, with a sprinkle of British elegance), I want to drive German cars (sometimes British or Italian), I want to have Spanish attitude (sometimes German), I want to eat Italian food (sometimes French), I want to speak all of these languages, and when I'm mad I want to cuss in Hungarian.
And of course all 4 of them are breathtakingly beautiful.
You would like French cars too like a Bugatti no?
@@jonasweber9408 Well if we consider Bugatti French, then yes. Bugatti was founded by a French guy, who was born in Italy, and the location of the HQ back in the day was German territory, but it's now French. And the name Ettore Bugatti sounds Italian, so there must have been some Italian blood in him.
@@shadxwslash44 ah yes it’s french, even though it was bought by VW two decades ago (now the amazing Croatian brand Rimac has a 55% share in it too)
A lot of people in france come from a wide variety of places with a lot of names from Portugal to Germany (my name for exemple)
Alpine is french too if you like it. They were a lot of car manufactures in Europe but just few are still existing
@@shadxwslash44 He was 100% Italian, then moved his company to what was first German territory, then French.
As an American guy (Spanish/Italian roots), I love European girls!
Claudia, I'd take you on a date for sure
American here, I visited Paris and Lyon once, and the smoking thing is true. Walking around the towns were kind of a pain and I couldn’t bear the smell. In America, cigarettes are regarded as terrible, vile, cancer-causing addiction machines, and we have strict rules on where you can smoke, but I guess the culture in France is different. Very interesting
Ew but you vape
@@Србомбоница86 Vaping is considered bad over here too.
@@jadenyeo5817 not even close ,you vape much more and it's more accepted ,also weed is used much more in USA,I don't mind cigarete smoke though ,it smells fine
@@Србомбоница86 You’re not even American, what do you know?
At least we have no school shootings like every week with at least 10 dead kids or so
In Brazil, parties like birthday party, when we say 7 pm, everyone arrives at 9 pm.
The german girl is gorgeous, I must say.

@@NeutralDice and so what? Who cares about that? Still beautiful for me.
If you say 1 pm in Germany, you better be there at 12:30 pm 🤣 Greetings from Germany
In Norway it's rude to even come 10-15mins late, unless you've called and let the host know you'll be late.
Definitely if it's a dinnerparty. Like we say; "The ppl can wait 10-15mins for the food, but the food gets cold if the guests are late."
Lol well now, if you want to invite some Latin dude at your place you'll know that you better give him an earlier hour!
And by the way I love your troll! ❤️
@@dragounet2469 Thanks for the warning. 🤣and thanks for the compliment. The trolls like these are a huge part of Norwegian history. Just watch Geography Now and you will see. ❤️
That sounds like a more official event tho? What about if it's just a party with a few close friends?
@@ashar4121 same. As long as dinner is being served.
UK has awesome food cause UK United Kingdom incorporates so Manny other cultures and food ,
Fake news
@@mcarlsson74 i thought the cuisine, bruh, not the ingredients
Agreed. Every time I've had a good meal in the UK it's been when I've eaten foreign cuisine. . .
@@jadawin10 that one there was a violation and personally I wouldn't have it
Id say just because we germans have a lot of rules does not mean we agree with or follow all of em.
I jay walk a lot in areas and at times when i know its save to do so cause in this Situation like a one way one lane street where nothing is coming id be an idiot to wait for the lights.
Just as one example
Just saying "I jay walk in a lot of areas" is laughable to most southern Europeans with horrible traffic! We do follow rules quite strictly and on top of that we like to remind others to follow the rules as a society. ;) It's quite annoying but also part of the German way and nothing to be ashamed of.
When we lived in Berlin, we used to joke about how the Germans pretend that they’re really organised and have set rules etc but that actually everything is in chaos and no one knows what’s going on.
Das heißt den Führerschein riskieren.
In Poland, if party/lunch is at 2pm, you are expected to be at 1pm
In reference to the second question, Mexico is not in Europe
Yes..lol
Not to be redundant, but to reiterate from the last video… falling once more for the French girl and yes, her mannerisms are still so cute 🥰
She really is ahah :P
The German punctuality is no joke! I live in Germany now and arrived 3 minutes late to bring my toddler son to his friend’s birthday party at a public park and I was the LAST one to arrive. The child having the birthday was half Greek half German so the setting up was still taking place but the guests were all very punctual 😂
My background is Caribbean/Trinidadian 🇹🇹 + Southern Black American 🇺🇸 so it an adjustment. I am usually better at time these days but my bike with the child trailer has broken and ironically German trains are not very punctual.
Oh yeah the trains... Me as a german and like every other german hate the train
Exactly ! The trains in Germany are not ponctual at all. Last time I had two hours delay on a trip I made.
In Germany if you‘re 10 minutes early, you are on time. If you are on time, you are late. If you are 10 minutes late, stay at home.
@@RobTheWatcher A bit OTT but yeah kinda like that
i didn't understand what you said where you come from? are you black or not? just say that or don't say anything. doesn't matter.
😂where I'm from party start at 4pm, but every one arrives at 9pm😂😂
Shannah is at it again, stealing my heart!

Yes, punctuality is very important in Germany!
Not in Berlin

I love the beauty of Claudia and Lauren 🥰
This is so wholesome and this is why I l absolutely love European Women 😍 😊
Claudia is hands down the most beautiful European woman there.
I think gold diggers are world wide. So are sugar daddies. What’s the term for sugar daddy in your language? Let me know below smile 😊
In Germany, if you check in to work at 6am but you enter your exact workstation at 6:05am, you've just lost 30 mins of pay. x am doesnt mean arrive at x am, it means we pay you to start work at 6am, German also has a 5 min rule ever hour to smoke and it's paid but it's starting to die as a trend among work places. In some places in Germanym they will scream at you "Abstand 1,5m!!" or "1,5m separation" for social distancing, or yell at you "Stop!" when you try to cross a red light when there are no cars. So, i always say "jajaja, das ist bei mir egal" , "ya ya ya i dont care" and the old people will mock me with "ja ja ja egal egal egal egal", my German friend told me some old people in Germany can be very cranky because they are old.
We call these yelling people who watch and reprimand other people "Hobby-sheriffs" or "Freizeit-sheriffs"😂
They don't have anything else in their lives that makes life worth living.
Tatsächlich gilt man mancherorts auf der Arbeit als verspätet, wenn man nicht eine Viertelstunde vorher da ist, also man muß bei Arbeitsbeginn morgens 6:00 spätestens 5:45 da sein, 5:46 gibt eine halbe Stunde Lohnabzug. Ist aber nicht überall so.
Around 32% of the French population smokes. So saying that they all smoke is quit an overstatement.
the german thing with rules isn't what she thinks it means, it's about regulations and laws, she just misunderstood that, since rules are defined a bit differently in german where rules are made by, for example, your parents on a holiday, that's what she is thinking about and of course kids like to break those. so, since she had the wrong idea about, what the text was about, i'll clarify, germany has a strong bureaucracy that pumps out loads of regulations all the time, often hindering new ideas and developments, that's a fact.
Yeah, like Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz.

Man, as a hispanic American, I HATE being late to things. That's mainly because of my social anxiety and I don't like all eyes on me and having to kiss every single one of my family members cheek. It's annoying lol. I be there like at least 30 min earlier.
Every time I go to a party full of Hispanic people I spend 30 minutes upon arrival and another up leaving of kissing everybody and their brother. My lips get all tuckered out.
Hispanic American? What is that?
@@MrsLizziee a Hispanic descended person born and raised In the United states.
@@dangercat9188 hispanic is a culture thing for descendants of spaniards in american continent (since hispanic is an old name for spaniards people). Hispanic american is the same that hispanoamericano in spanish and is every person in Américan continent with hispanic culture heritage. Cubano, Venezuela, Chile, mexico and other citizens of southamerica and central América are hispanoamericans, and It has nothing to do with being US citizens. It is not as the afroamerican thing. Do not make that mistake, because to be hispanic is not a race. A mexican borned and living in México is hispanic american because of their heritage, by race they can be White, black or american indigenous (like aztecas, maya or others) or even mixed. To be a true hispanic you must know your origins and not the usa propaganda.
I'm from Spain and i really don't know why are usually late😂.
5 years ago i had a friend and when i ask him to hang out, i was getting out of my house 5 minutes earlier, he live like 1 or 2 minutes of my house and i don't know what i was doing but i always end up getting 5 minutes late. He wasn't mad at all but i was trying my best, also that happens to me when i was in highschool, i live like 4 minutes of my old highschool.
The schedule was for 8:15 to 14:45 or something like that, i woke up at 7:50 and i left my house at 8:00 and i should arrive with 10 or 9 minutes ahead, but i always end up getting at 8:20😩😩.
I really hate being late, it doesn't matter if is with friends, family or something important (specially with the important things)
I am Spanish, my neighbor was an English cook, now he is retired and he moved to Spain, I have eaten in his house several times and the food is very good, I mean, the traditional old English food.
Shut up
Life is all about opinions, some folk just gotta make theirs public
British food, just like with any cuisine, when made right tastes good. But bad or average British food is absolutely gross. Bad or average Italian/Spanish/French food is still pretty delicious
Of course British foot is good.
But French people want the whole world to laugh about for some reason.
It’s not bad, but I wouldn’t change my Mediterranean diet for an English one tbh
You can tell where they are from by the way they sit.
"European girls"... that's like saying "American girls". They come from all varieties of different lifestyles and cultures. Hard to put them all in one bucket.
America is far more homogeneous cultureally, and they all speak english as first language
@@svenradd1027 and they’re the same country with same culture, culture is a bit different from state to state but it’s still the same culture, while the difference between Spain and Germany is huge for example
@@ig1948 It could vary because there's many of us who have immigrant parents who emigrated to the US and raised us differently in terms of general culture/values. I'm a first gen Mexican-American and for the big Hispanic population here our culture is different than non-hispanic Americans. I do understand the point you made, not trying to invalid it.
@@Quixina yh I know that’s a sub culture it’s a mix of Latin American and North American culture. Like African American culture. But that’s the same in Europe.
In the uk there is the Caribbean-English culture which is the biggest example I can think of, it’s the result of children of past Caribbean immigrants (mainly Jamaican) mixing their parents culture with the one they’ve been born in, which is English culture. So it spreads and now we have that sub culture which has a different accent, slang, food, music genre and it’s a known sub-culture within English culture and people from other backgrounds adapt to it, suing the slang, dressing the same, listening to the music. Another example is Arabian-English culture
@@svenradd1027 none of that is true. America has multiple different cultures and languages
