If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

Making multi cultured jokes is easily one of the best parts of learning a new language. I'm German, and many young people here speak English rather well - which evolved it's own type of humour. It ranges from including English words, jokes and memes into our language, to speaking English with a deliberately *deep* German accent (many Germans are ashamed of their accent when speaking English, so it's our way to poke fun at ourselves).

1. Wanderlust is a german word too, love how you used a german word to explain another, lesser known german word 2.
