ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, 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 topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

The entirety of Europe (including the non-EU countries like the european part of Russia - Europe is at 10,180,000 km²) is slightly bigger than the USA (9,833,520 km²; 18 % of that mass is Alaska btw -1,717,856 km²). I highly recommend visiting Northern Germany and the scandinavian countries. You should be a little cautious with beer in the North though - there are a few brands that have a higher percentage of alcohol like Faxe (10 % alcohol) or Elephant (7.5 % for the normal version, 10.5 % for the stronger version), both of which are danish brands. 41:00 That's actually incorrect - there's a lot of historic locations (including old ruins) in the USA that predate the country's founding by centuries. Don't make the mistake to confuse US history with American history. American history includes the Native American history as well - granted, the most spectacular native american ruins are located in South America and the southern parts of North America like Mexico, but there are examples in the USA as well like the ancestral Pueblo ruins for example. 43:25 Und der Mann hatte Recht. Einfach ungefragt andere Leute zu fotographieren oder, schlimmer noch, zu filmen ist eine ernsthafte Verletzung der Privatsphäre. Darüber hinaus ist es in vielen Bereichen Deutschlands verboten, Drohnen zu benutzen.

Most Americans think that all of Germany is like Bavaria because Bavaria was the American controlled sector after WW2. I think Ben would get a real kick out of how Hamburg is basically the polar opposite of Munich when it comes to cities within Germany. A weekend getaway is definitely in order. Hopefully he will love the herring, rote gruetze, and krappen broetchen as much as he loves his schnitzel. :).

I actually couldn't believe that, but I found the same number in an article from Deutsche Welle. Although it might be worth to mention, that just about 20 % are at least somewhat intact, they called it "unter Dach" ("under roof"). 40 % are ruins and another 40 % only exist as a ground monument or are completly gone. But even if you count only those 20 % it would be about 5000.

Fun story about Aldi in Germany here: At Aldi there is no area behind the cashier where the goods can be pushed into which other supermarkets have. And with the speed that Aldi cashiers scan the products is often really hard to keep up. I at one point in time decided not to get hurried by the cashier and that if goods fall down because they are being pushed it’s not my fault. The Aldi cashier’s reaction: „Jetz machen se aba ma hin, junga Mann! Wir sind hia imma noch bei Aldi und nich bei Edeka und sie sind noch keene 60!“ 😂 Typical Berlin humor! Absolutely cracked me up!

Translation of the cashier: "Now do shake a leg, young man! We're still at Aldi's here an' not at Edeka's (upmarket supermarket), an' you ain't no 60 years yet!" I'd appreciate if someone could put it into a good LA accent.

One hundred percent agree with Ben's comment about the "history" immersion that happens in Germany. The realization that you are in an area that can present a thousand years - or more - of existence can be both mind boggling and overwhelming at the same time. It brought the history lessons from school to life in a face to face way. Great experience.

I remember clearly the first time I was sitting on the S-Bahn in Frankfurt, after first entering Germany. I saw a guy wearing a D&D shirt, proudly, and the train was spotless, very different to the trains I rode in Cleveland. After a few meals and a few drinks, I didn't particularly want to go back to the United States. Obviously, i didn't speak the language, and had just finished my BS, but it kind of seemed like a dream land for tech-minded, dark humored, chemistry nerds like me. I love germany. I love every time I get to go back, especially Bavaria. I would love to live there someday.

Well especially if you're into tech and have a degree in that field (IT, engineering, math, statistics ...) I think it shouldn't be too hard to find a job in Germany. There's a huge need in Germany for specialists which will increase in the future because a lot of the babyboomers retire in this decade and there are just not as many younger Germans to replace them, so Migration of specialized workers is highly desired.

We have just come back from Germany, (we are from the UK) I try and go twice a year, I love it! We go to the koblenz area, stayed in an apartment in Nuremberg. I absolutely love it! Everything Ben said is true. So clean, Germans are so polite and accommodating, my German is awful so people were more than happy to speak to me in English if needed. Schnitzel is amazing, me and my partner always get it when we are there. There are soooo many castles and everything is so beautiful. The food is great. The autobahn is a little scary, my partner always drives when we are there and we learnt quickly how differently Germans drive, you do get used to it. We have only ever been in the summer and it was hot! I would love to go in the winter. Thanks for this video, I love hearing other peoples opinions. Edit: also love the German coffee and we found that why Germans heard us talking English they were really interested and wanted to have a conversation which was nice xx

This makes me sad, because between 2010 and 2019 I got to go to Germany seven times. I had a job where I told them, my passion is for travel and every year I go to Germany for about 5 weeks a year, I don't care about your paid leave policies, you can keep your vacation pay, I will just let you know a couple of months ahead of time what my vacation window will be, and if you can't handle that, don't hire me. They hired me. Every year I would ramp up my overtime hours like crazy, and just be stacking the dough. You save the most money when traveling to Europe in three ways: 1) Book your airline tickets as far in advance as possible (2-3 months is fine, 1 week why bother), 2) Instead of traveling endlessly and staying in relatively expensive hotels, consider staying in one place by booking a "holiday apartment" - rates vary but you can often get better deals by booking for several weeks - then use local transit to see the local sites, use regional transit to see what is further afield, 3) instead of eating every meal in some restaurant or cafe, shop the local grocery stores and cook your food in your holiday apartment. Occasionally have a meal in some restaurant to enjoy the local fare. Also, if you have an American debit card, it is usable in most places in Europe, you don't have to go to a bank or exchange and 'buy Euros' to have in hand as soon as you arrive, and ATM machines will dispense Euros off your debit card (just make sure you have given your US bank a travel notification. ALSO: Have some idea of what you want to see while you are in any given location, and see if you can book tickets ONLINE in advance. In our first year we went to Paris, went to nearby Versailles Palace, and got stuck standing in a HUGE line for three hours, while people who had booked online walked right in. Same deal at Neuschwanstein Castle too, but that time we knew to book online in advance.

Well, depending on the level of destruction, they rebuilt (most of) the iconic landmarks. But apart from this, they filled most of the space with new buildings. Take the Marienplatz in Munich as an example: The old and new town halls were reconstructed, but on the other side of the square you see mostly postwar architecture. And yes, rebuilding these cities literally took decades.

He really is doing quite well considering how many days he's been studying German. His biggest pronunciation issues are just that he doesn't know what sounds certain letters represent in German-- a starting V becomes an English F, the Ä is more like an English E than an A, the German Z is a tsss sound, etc. There's a website that explicitly goes over these differences (but I don't want to give a link here, so as to avoid having my comment eaten by the spam filter.) Still, really good considering how early in the process he is!

A starting German "v" isn't always pronounced like an English "f" (e.g. "Vase" = VAH-ZUH). The rule is rather that in words of Germanic origin (the majority) the German "v" is pronounced like an English "f", and in words of Romance origin (mostly from Latin and French) the German "v" is pronounced like an English "v". German diphthongs can also be a challenge to foreigners.

I lived in Germany a little over 11 years, but the only place I saw graffiti was in West Berlin (I was living in West Germany (Budingen) when the wall came down), so you can see that was a lot of years ago so I'm sure things have changed. I was a swim coach and our team competed in the Olympic Schwimmhalle in Munich. Loved the people of Bavaria. BTW my German was bad then and it is probably much worse now, but the German people were wonderful at switching to English if I at least tried to speak the language. I also speak French, so there were times we would switch to French when I was over by the French border. My daughters both spoke fluent German so if I needed to be specific (like an auto parts store) I took one of the girls with me to translate. Great memories...Love you guys...

I was in Germany last in 1979 and there was hardly any graffiti. We were just there in July and the graffiti was everywhere. Not really a fan of it. In one of the cities they designated a place for graffiti with the understanding that the historical buildings would not be tagged.

For Ben, your first impressions of Germany and Europe remind me of my own, way back in the 1960s. Not to sound discouraging, but a German once told me, "Man lernt Italienisch, man lernt Französisch, man lernt Englisch, aber man versucht Deutsch zu lernen." So keep on "versuch-ing", as I do. And yes, those local bakeries do have the best bread!

Very entertaining. I was drawn-in with the observation of the reconstruction in Munich. My story, the family left Benningen am Neckar in 1862 for the Crimea. Left the Crimea for California in 1905. The local German Lutheran church sent aid to a sister church in Frankfurt am Main in the 1920s and 1930s. After WWII the Frankfurt church gathered some of its blown-out stained glass and made a stained-glass window and sent it to the church in California as a thank you for the aid sent before the war.

I can relate to Ben's observation about the central location of Germany to the rest of Europe; that was my big take away while stationed in Germany at Hahn AB - we would hop in the car and cross international boarders like we would cross state lines here in the US. It made for some great weekend trips when the places you had only heard about or read about were just a few hours drive away. Imagine this conversation between two twenty something newlyweds: "What would you like to do this weekend? Zurich or the Black Forest? Or maybe Amsterdam?" Amazing experience.

The German work ethic is actually something Americans tried to bring to the United States. Not a joke. The terrain of the United States required extremely hard work to settle. There are towns that started as English and Dutch but we're abandoned because they got sick of the weather and terrain. So, the Germans moved in. Wilhelmina, Missouri is one, Victoria, Kansas is another. My father in his 80s cleared 20 wheelbarrows of rocks out of the ground by hand to make a garden. I know someone who went back to work at 70 so two kids he didn't know could go to a religious school. That work ethic has had a good impact on the United States. Sadly, it's slowly being lost. Although some of the Hispanics seem to have a pretty good work ethic. They will go to work to help out someone else.

MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS and EXPERIENCES --- They're actually speaking GERMAN. That was my first impression after I landed in Germany and went to the connecting train station. I was in a bit of shock that everybody was speaking German. I was like, ok, time to start using all that German I learned in two years of high school and a year in college. This was for real, not a classroom! Right away, I started asking people to help me figure out the train schedules and platforms. I had never been on a train before. I later became very proficient at taking trains after I got a student rail pass, and took trains all over Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, France, Portugal. I slept my way through countries on my way to destinations (indirectly) just to have a free place to sleep for the night. I never got used to being woken up several times a night to have my Papiere and ticket checked. "Papiere Bitte. Ausweis". Autobahn and hitchhiking. No matter what car Germans drove, they had to max out it's speed potential. I was constantly pushing my feet through the floorboard trying to slow their vehicle down. I had NEVER driven or ridden so fast in a car. Doing 120+ mph in a Ford was downright frightening. I rode in tuna-can Citroens in Germany, and of course, got to feel their maximum speed! I hitchhiked all over Germany. Sometimes, near big cities, I had to get in line at onramps to wait my turn for a spot to stand, with my thumb out. Others waived their open hand up and down. I met and chatted with Germans all over Germany. Scrubbing the concrete. German women on their knees in front of their businesses scrubbing the sidewalk with a little scrub brush and a bucket of soapy water all while wearing a dress! Street signals in reverse sequence. Getting lectured by a street cop in Berlin asking me if I knew what a signal light meant. I told him I was from a little town and lived out in the country with no signal lights. He didn't buy that. It was true, though. The stores are all closed on my day off, Sunday. And so are the banks. I work 6 days a week. How can I get money or food??? This was in the mid 70's when I was working and living in Germany. Keeping my passport -- My passport, you want to keep my passport??? Yes, when I stayed at hostels, they would keep my passport until I checked out. I did not like roaming the streets in a town without my passport. Riding in a police car. Got picked up for hitchhiking in a small town, taken to the station, questioned, made them laugh. Found out that "only speaking English" has it's advantages. You can turn it on and off as needed. Sex Kinos, naked breasts, and nude beaches, and getting "hit on". I had just turned 19 in Germany, 1973. I was in Berlin, going for an exploratory walk and I stumbled upon a nude beach. I could not believe it. I could not help but sit and relax. Whole families with little kids were there. It looked like a fun day at the beach. I wasn't about to strip. Then came some American GIs. They weren't sure what to do. Finally, they stripped down to their white briefs (aka BVDs). It was so funny. Sex everywhere. I think I was strolling through Hamburg and turned down a street only to find a lot of men "window shopping", they were with and without women. All the storefronts were filled with almost naked women, posing or sitting, showing off their stuff. I had stumbled into Sodom and Gamora. Later I found out that it was a Red Light District - whatever that was? And then the naked breasts - on billboards, in magazines. Sex was everywhere. I was walking down or near KuDam Strasse in Berlin, and seeing flashing lights on storefronts , "Sex Kino". I walked in and looked around. It looked like pornography to me. I never saw that in the US. AND, when I hitchhiked, I got "hit on" regularly by gay men. I had never known or met any gay men prior to Germany. I had to almost jump out of vehicles twice. These events were in mid 70's Germany. Who knows what it's like today. Waterskiing WITHOUT a boat - hitchhike driving through rural Germany and seeing someone waterskiing without a towboat. I had never seen that before. Similar to a ski lift, just grab the tow line and off you go around the lake. Wow. So quiet. Germany with and without German -- I can't imagine experiencing Germany without speaking German. I never became fluent, but I was good enough to get jobs, interact with everyone, I could read and write. I personally don't believe it's good or necessary to be fluent. If you are fluent, it changes your experience with people. I found Germans to be more helpful and open and friendly when they see that you are struggling with your German. It puts them in a position to help you, and that's what you often need in a foreign country. However, if you can't speak the language at all, that's a huge gamechanger. Many potential "helpers" will be short and superficial with you because without the language, you are too difficult to deal with. I was careful to moderate my language level to make German "helpers " feel at ease and allow them to help me without causing them too much frustration. I've been to France, and don't speak French. I still enjoyed it, liked the people, but I missed out on so much because I did not understand people. I speak basic Spanish, and can get along better in Spain, and even in Portugal where I can read the signs and the people can almost understand my Spanish. It's a real blessing having English as my native language. It just opens doors and opportunities wherever you travel. One time I met a Chinese man in a large German City. He spoke no English and I spoke no Chinese. But we had a great conversation in German! After returning home to California after my first big year in Germany and Europe, I pledged to myself to learn another language. I did continue learning Spanish, I tried Japanese for a year, I learned to be conversational in ASL (American Sign Language), and I've kept up my German after first learning it over 50 years ago. I occasionally bump into native Germans in my rural area of California, and I can still turn it on, "on demand". Sure, I've forgotten words over the years and I'm out of practice. But I can still do it and enjoy it. And I can also speak with Austrians, Swiss, and even Liechtensteiners.

I'm on the same journey as Ben! I'm a Canadian with a German partner and will be moving to Germany to live with her in late August. I've been using a few different apps and websites to learn German (and my partner helps me out, too). Getting my tongue around some of the pronunciations is a challenge sometimes. The one word I can't seem to get even remotely close is 'Gurke' (cucumber). I can do the light 'R' roll in any other word, but going from the 'U' to the 'R' in that one is a STRUGGLE for me 😂 I was in Germany for the first time back in late May, and I also love it there so much! We went from Munich to Leipzig to Düsseldorf. We even went to Frankfurt (Oder) and popped literally five minutes over to Poland for pizza. I love the scenery, the culture, the language. I'm so excited to live there soon. Thanks for sharing Ben's journey! I've been a viewer of your videos for over a year and look forward to your future content!

Love that Ben is as excited about the history, culture, and architecture of Germany! My wife and I have come to take so much of that for granted as we have seen much if the east and west by train and by car. The fact that so many Germans speak English and are comfortable with using it is something we enjoy too. My wife taught German and my travel German is decent enough that we can get along pretty well, but there's nothing to me funnier than when I open my mouth and speak German to a German and then they answer back in English even though they are German. Something seems kind of wrong there but it's just because the Germans are trying to be helpful and many of them like to practice their English I've found. I only lived in Salzburg for 5 months when I was in college so I haven't really lived in Europe but I have visited multiple times during the summer as my wife and I were both teachers and we had summers off. As so many other people have said in the comments, you two make a wonderful come couple and I'm so thrilled that Ben loves your country and that will not be a source of contention in your lives. This was a lot of fun to watch because it brought back wonderful memories of how I have felt when I was young traveling in Europe for the first time. The appreciation of other cultures makes us better human beings!
