How German is the US? 🇩🇪🇺🇸 The new website germanrootsusa.org is a great resource to find out more about the different German-American associations, German businesses, restaurants, and other landmarks all over the country. In collaboration with the German-American Heritage Foundation and the German Embassy, I spent a weekend in Chicago to explore the German Roots that are still visible in the city today. I got to talk to the Consul General, walked through the formally German neighborhood of Lincoln Square, visited the Chicago Christkindlmarket 🎄, and went to the German-American Cultural Center DANK Haus. I had an amazing weekend in Chicago and learned a whole lot about the city's connections to German immigrants and the German culture. 😊 Which part did you find the most interesting? Let me know in the comments below! 👇

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 27, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other experiences that I have made during my time in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)
