US citizen here. Taking pictures of craft booths, of the product, or in many shops is just a no no. Same as deliberately taking pictures of people., with out there permission. And never of children. The reason, in craft booths, is the very real possibility of the photographer, then taking the image of say, a knitted sweater, making their own, and claiming it’s an original. Granted a lot of folks may not feel that way.

It blows my mind that in other countries, learning at least one foreign language at school is not mandatory. In my school, I even learnt four. It can broaden your horizon so much!

Das war wieder ganz toll Antoinette. Interessant und aufschlussreich, wie unterschiedlich doch die Kulturen sind. Die Hemmschwelle die deutsche Sprache zu erlernen ist natürlich normal. Denn so richtig kennenlernen kann man die Deutschen oder Menschen in anderen Ländern generell ja auch nur, wenn man deren (ihre) Sprache spricht. Schön dass du dann mit Lingoda diese tolle Möglichkeit gefunden hast. Übrigens eine schöne Liebesgeschichte, jemanden kennenzulernen und mit ihm durchs Land zu reisen. Und dann auch noch mit ihm nach Deutschland zu gehen. Dass die Deutschen sich nicht gerne fotografieren lassen, scheint wirklich eine Eigenart zu sein, die es in vielen anderen Ländern nicht gibt. In den USA zum Beispiel wo die Menschen ja eher ziemlich prüde sind, stört es niemanden wenn er fotografiert wird. In Deutschland muss man sich, wenn man z.B. Hobbyfotograf ist, ein dickes Fell anschaffen 🙃und einfach fotografieren. Jetzt nicht extra nah rangehen und den Menschen offensichtlich fotografieren, aber zusammen mit etwas anderem Sehenswerten, da wird auch niemand etwas sagen. Bezüglich der Ehrlichkeit der Deutschen hast du ja scheinbar ein wirklich wertvolles Exemplar von Mann erwischt. Es gibt zwar Deutsche die immer direkt heraus alles sagen was sie denken und auch nichts schönreden. Aber in der Mehrzahl ist der Deutsche auch wohl so geartet, dass er mit der Wahrheit nicht gerne Menschen verletzt. Daß er also durch die Blume redet (etwas beschönigend darstellt) oder eben mit einer Notlüge aufwartet. Auf jeden Fall war das wieder sehr interessant. Danke dafür.

Es ist für mich immer wieder verwunderlich, daß die meisten bzw. viele Menschen erst dann verstehen, daß für eine Sache/Problem mehrere Lösungen gibt, wenn sie damit konfrontiert werden. Wie z.B.: im Ausland zu leben

Thank you for your videos. I mainly watch them because I want to prepare for the New Zealand pronunciation. I will be spending six months in New Zealand soon and would be interested in a video where you explain the mistakes I should avoid as a German in New Zealand.

Dear expats, we Germans are often quite reserved towards everything new, we mostly love routine in our lives and appear cold and dismissive and often we don't make the first step - but that's only because we often don't want to appear intrusive/too curious or sometimes don't know how to react. Sometimes misunderstandings about other cultures are also to blame, unfortunately there are stupid prejudices that are definitely not true, especially older people sometimes still think this way. If you take the first step and just be yourself, communicate openly and actively ask for advice/help, the exchange may be made easier. As a German, I unfortunately have exactly these behaviours unconsciously and for a while during my studies I organised myself in the International Office (office for international students) at my university and attended various festivals there and came into contact with people from all over the world and that was a super nice experience.

Kia ora. That is a beautiful, helpful and humbling comment, thankyou. Most of my best friends, and workmates are or were from other countries, and most of my flatmates, neighbours and partners were also from other cultures. Life is an exciting journey of wonder getting to know other people. In New Zealand we chat (or korero) freely with people we don't know, so it is joyful and uplifting each day. I think it is like being at the International University but in the whole country. We have a lot of overseas visitors here at the moment as well. You wrote a beautiful comment. You are right about misunderstandings. The German people I have seen...some come across as unfriendly and serious and self absorbed. But other young Germans are friendly when you speak to them. We see a few instances of really shocking behaviour and those can give a very bad reputation of German people, and will be impossible to forget. So your comment is a great reminder that it is only a few who have done those things in New Zealand. All the best with your studies and with the many great people you meet.

Danke Antoniette, wieder ein informatives Video Zu dem Foto, das Du auf dem Markt löschen solltest. Meiner Vermutung ist eher, dass die Händlerin Angst vor Ideenklau hatte und es weniger auf sie selbst auf dem Foto ankam, bzw das nur Nebensache war

Das war ein schönes Video, und wie du sagst, es viele Wege etwas zu machen. Als ich 1999 in Neuseeland war, habe ich zum erstenmal gesehen, dass es dort manchmal auch Wickeltische auf öffentlichen Herrentoletten gibt, was mich als deutschen sehr überrascht hat, da es das bei uns wenn überhaupt nur auf Damentoiletten finden gibt. Aber die Idee die dahinter steckt macht natürlich Sinn. Man kann immer auch von anderen lernen.

I don't want to get political, but this statement is in my opinion a populist, broad generalisation. The asylum policy of the past decades is also to blame for this, as are the integration and school policies. People (asylum seekers etc.) have often failed to attend German courses (too not enough courses on offer) and the children's lack of language skills should be made up for at kindergarten age, but far too little money has been invested in support for this. And I helped with the refugee movement and there were many who wanted to learn German straight away, but there were far too few learning courses on offer. It is only a very small proportion of foreigners who really refuse to learn German, but in my opinion the state should intervene here on a mandatory basis.

It is not. I offered free courses for mothers at my school, given by professionals in the school building, but only very few came and often left after two sessions. You are right in many ways but I wrote about my personal experiences. No need to be so offensive.@@eastfrisianguy

I don't think Antoinette was ignorent, her thinking was due to the situation, because the decision to go to Germany or not came quite spontaneously and you first have to get used to such a stark new situation with a completely new living environment. It's also been a few years ago now, today you'll be able to find detailed informations about a country etc. way easier because there are a lot of expats at youtube. :-)

​@@eastfrisianguy Great reply. All people are ignorant about new situations. I feel ignorant about a person honing in on ignorance. We DON'T do that in New Zealand. Antoinette could not have done a better job of explaining...She didn't think she was staying long and felt overwhelmed with the thought of learning a new language. In New Zealand most people only speak one language. As you get older, it is even harder to suddenly learn a new language.
@barbsmart7373

She explained that she was getting to know a guy from Germany. There would not have been much time to research... but in any case, she didn't think she was staying for long. And also, the language is "overwhelming" for anyone who has mainly heard just one language all their life. She didn't know initially that she would stay with Rob OR in Germany. You can't learn the language of every country you visit. She has done very well learning German now, don't you think?

Hey. It's not difficult to know the difference between a baby hearing a language for 2 or 3 years and easily picking it up, and an adult who has lived in a country where only one language is normally heard. heard. It is good to be careful what you say in case someone puts you to the test.

These store/stall people are not in the right. They stand in a public place, address a public audience, invite a public audience. There is now law that protects them from being photographed. Using that photo on instagram or for ads that is a different story. But photography simply is an art form. And there is freedom of arts. There is a right to your personal pictures but that regulates commercial spaces and distribution as mentioned above for ads, instagram, etc. These stall people are in the wrong!
