My German Friend's FIRST REACTION to the US [German with subtitles!] | Feli from Germany

During our road trip in September 2019 (check out my Road Trip Vlog! • ROAD TRIP VLOG - New Y... ), my friend Veronica and I sat down in New York City and chatted a little about her first impressions of the US. 🇺🇸 Just like me, she was born and raised in Munich and still lives there to this day. Please keep in mind that this wasn’t a planned-out interview but a spontaneous conversation, so some of the things we mentioned may not be 100% accurate. It’s also part of German culture to be very blunt and not sugar-coat criticism. That’s why at some point the tone of the English translations may sound harsher than it originally was in German. I hope you guys enjoy watching us speak German! 🇩🇪

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 26, 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 :)

Yes , generally speaking, Germans are straightforward. In 2016 , during my trip to Malaysia as a tourist , my siblings and I met 2 German girls. A young man was driving the van spoke to us in a loud voice in a very random way : take your stuff , do this and do that ...One of the girls started saying :" Why is he talking like this ?" I replied to her in a joking manner in a random way :" he's Hitler." The girl smiles widely from ear to ear ... The other girl shouted :" It's not funny ." I apologized because I was not mindful that some Germans do not find it funny ...

German Girl in America You have a wonderful channel. I was in Germany many years ago. You have a beautiful country. Yes our public transport systems are looked down upon. We Americans (outside of a few areas like N.Y.C.) could not get by without our cars.
@The_Dudester 4 жыл бұрын
About public transport, those who have cars have no idea what it is like and those who don't have cars uses the buses and trains because they have to. On the buses you find old people and people down on their luck. The trains, in my city, are conduits for those who work downtown but have to park a good distance away because: A) There is little parking downtown. B) What parking there is, is expensive. So, the trains go through downtown, the medical center, and terminate next to the football stadium. If it wasn't for the poor neighborhoods at the north end of the line, you would easily say that the train is for a certain income bracket of people.

Really?! I love watching WWII movies in German because I think it is incredibly interesting. If you watch generation war it's all in German. I especially love the combat parts when they are communicating in German. It's a weird obsession of mine. I'm American and have always respected Germany and even the normal German soldier during the war. Most fought because they had to. It's the Nazi's or SS that are to blame. But your average German soldier and an American soldier probably could have been friends under different circumstances. Don't just take it from me though, U.S. vets from WWII have said similar things.

I hope you see lots of rural sights as well. That is a big difference I noticed when I visited Germany. The US has a lot more farmland, woods, and uninhabited areas. Cities seemed to be fairly similar but, outside the cities in Germany there was generally a house or village in sight. I have been in areas of the US where you drive for hours and never see another person or house. This is more common in the western US but, true even in parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky that you may be more familiar with.

The Marshall plan. We rebuilt Germany in record time - after completely leveling Berlin by 1945, by 1960 is was a beautiful new modern city. Also, as a result of the record breaking reconstruction of Germany, their economy had a boom throughout the 50 s and 60s even greater than America’s. By the 70s West Germany was absolutely in love with America. And East Germany wanted so desperately to be part of it too. So when the wall fell in ‘89 those people parties their butts off all week with West Germans and brought in David Hasselhoff to put on a concert at the Brandenburg Gate. That’s how much they love America!

It's refreshing to listen to Germans speaking. Hearing the two of you makes me think back to when I lived in Weilbach near Wiesbaden back in the 70s. I was only a child back then, but I was born in Germany, went to school there for a few years, but moved to the US before I could ever get to any higher learning. So, I have a little trouble following every word you speak, but they all sound so familiar, and I can mostly understand what you are trying to portray. I'm guessing that if I were to visit Germany for about two months, I would speak pretty fluently again, with a limited vocabulary, though. Thanks for the insights!

Obviously being Americans, they were making PB&J sandwiches. They had to bring in translators to explain what peanut butter was. Exciting times. Portion sizes in USA are insane.

Maybe without knowing it, you both experienced two “very New York” things in your video. The type of building you’re sitting in front of is called a “Brownstone” and is a real style element of New York. Secondly, you’re sitting on a “stoop”. That is what New Yorkers call the steps made of cement or brick in front of a house. Many people outside of New York area don’t know what a stoop is. It’s also a great part of New York culture, because in the summer “sitting on the stoop” and watching people go by or calling out to your neighbors is just typical New York. Other parts of the US have front porches (Veranda) on their houses, but New Yorkers have stoops! New York is where I come from, but I’ve lived now for more than 2 decades in Munich.

Unlike France, which has bent over backwards to keep English out of French, The Germans have freely embrace English words, especially as to modern technology. Although they have German equivalents for computer technology, they seem top prefer the English: Rechner, Festplatte are just as likely to be called computer and hard disk. Other common everyday words, such as to "babysit" have been adopted as babysitten. Even "baby" seems to be preferred to the German word "Saugling", which literally means "little sucker" :) The problem for me, when I listen to German, is to know which are now really accepted into German, or merely something which the speaker has borrowed themselves, and is not commonly used - yet?

@Biracial Butterfly Not sure why you addressed this to me, but I agree, English is a mix of languages. Grammatically, English is pure Germanic.

English is anything but phonetic, with only 26 letters to portray 44 sounds.

@@quintrankid8045 German does place the participle of a verb all the way to the end of the sentence, a fact that is often difficult for us Americans. You have to wait to the end of the sentence to determine the verb that is telling you what the whole sentence is about. I find this difficult, especially since German has a tendency to make long, run on sentences with many clauses. Mark Twain, who spoke German, told the story of two students at a German university listening to a professor giving a lecture. The one student, who was not as proficient in German as the other, asked his fellow student what the professor was saying? His fellow student answered, " I don't know yet, he has not gotten to the verb yet"! :)

Air Conditioning became common AFTER most of the NYC subways were built. Opened in 1904, it is one of the world's oldest public transit systems and the one with the most stations. NYC subway runs 24/7, it never closes, unlike most other subways in US. That leaves little time for "proper" maintenance. When I visited Germany (twice) I marveled at how my grandparents lived in the older cities before our modern times.

In munich the trains get upgraded with a new kind of trains (different lighting, more comftable seats, more spacious, new kind of opening knobs, safer etc) every 15 years or so. And get switched one at a time, so the systems does not have to stop. It is totally possible, even in new york, its just a matter of willingnes, planing and of course putting the money into the right things.

Great video, hearing a German prospective was great and I am so happy you used subtitles and did not dub the sound. I hate dubbing. I am old, fat white guy also find Americans very helpful but some of the treatment you got was a function of being two very attractive young women. It is just a fact. I've be stopped on the roadside with a broken motorcycle and people stop, if you two were stopped there would be a massive traffic jam. When I was young I did my share of rude cat calling. Nowadays with a daughter, I would never. It takes men about 80% of a lifetime to mature. Sigh. I hope your friends visit is nothing but fun and I also hope you chose to stay with us after school. We need you and people like you. Unrelated but relevant to me, you contribute to the standing of Germany in the eyes of some people (me for sure). As a Jew it took a long time for me to accept that Germany was anything but what is seen in the holocaust museums. I traveled to the then DDR and crossed at ionic "Checkpoint Charlie", the DDR compared to then-West Germany was like night and day. I knew that division could not stand.

Well, I take that back, once I went into a little pet store and the owner didn't speak English, but we got along just fine. Once I was sitting alone on a park bench with my dog and two boys, maybe 10 years old, asked if they could pet my dog. I said I only speak English and they just started talking to me in English. I was amazed at how many Germans speak English. They start them very early in school. Neither my wife nor I spoke German, but my wife can read German. Both old and new. 2. Always be on time. It's in their culture. 3. My wife got a DADD grant from the German Gov't which paid our rent and we lived in a really nice part of Munich. 4. Don't go unless you have money to travel. Munich is in a perfect place to use as a central base. 5. I can't help you with schools because my wife was working on her Ph.D. dissertation from Northwestern University and did all her research in Germany alone. My wife had to work very hard while we were there and had to travel throughout Germany sometimes by herself. She never went to school. However the University of Munich is a very good school. 6. German trains are great. But if your train leaves at 10:12, and you show up at 10:13 it's gone. 7. We made many friends there, but we were probably lucky. Germans can be standoffish when you first meet them. If you act overly friendly at first they'll think you're crazy. 8. As for your husband, he'll have a ball. It will be a chance of a lifetime.

So first sentence, correct would be Ich habe Spaß gehabt (though just Ich hatte Spaß would be more common), Sie (very formal, but ok) Deutsch sprechen zu hören. As an explanation: Something makes fun (Es hat Spaß gemacht - in this case) and someone has fun; for the latter keep the word order in mind, since this is to hear someone speak something in German I'd be jemanden (subject - Sie) Deutsch (object) sprechen zu hören (don't know the correct english term, the (compund-) "verb"). As for the second sentence, it's technically correct, but if you mean to say "You should do it more often!" you'd say "Machen Sie (infml.: "Mach [du] es") dich häufiger!". YOur version is more like "Do more!" Otherwise really impressive, espescially since the typing is flawless.
