Your English is sooo good. It looks like you can express any thought in that language easily and quickly.

As usually very interesting and informative ❤ i like your videos 😊

Your pronunciation is like honey to the ears 😍🍯

As a German I can say: I agree with you 100 percent! Many others will deny it because of own false pride but you are spot on correct with all the points you are saying. People here have little joy, very negative mindset and narrow outlook on life. I always say people who are very bright and openminded, dreamers, pioneers and adventurers in life, who like to try out new things, Germany isn't the place. Germany is very fixated, go to school and then get a job and work until you are old, then die. and dont forget to pay your taxes ;) Germany isn't for everyone, I will also leave here soon. Finally! Wishing you all the best in your new home :) Croatia is a beautiful place with beautiful people who know the art of enjoying the little ordinary things which makes life special.

I find the origin of words - etymology - including word borrowing to be endlessly fascinating and as you end the video by saying: they embody a record of the interconnectedness of humanity. Besides direct borrowings, a language will often adopt words which have already travelled through two or more other languages, with their meanings and sounds changing along the way, as well as undergoing additions or subtractions, which can make some word origins very complex. It's important to bear in mind that many word origins are unclear or are disputed and we may always have to live with uncertainty on the ultimate origin or the particular pathway of some words. My own interest in language in general was first sparked when I began to learn of the immensely varied origin of English words many years ago, as well as the intrinsically mongrel nature of English itself - being a Germanic language supplemented with a massive French contribution as a result of the Norman conquest of 1066. The subsequent rise of the British empire brought in a huge number of words from across the world, all with stories to tell. Many non-English people are peeved to see so many English borrowings today arising out of American cultural dominance - a feeling I have some sympathy with, but this is just a phase of contemporary history. In time, other cultures will come to the fore and their words will diffuse into other languages, just as English has been enriched through its enormous intake of words from the languages of historically dominant societies such as the ancient Greeks, Romans (Latin) and Arabs. The Icelandic language sits In sharp contrast to this word odyssey (a Greek word) as they create new words for innovations from their own linguistic roots out of a policy of language purism. For example, computer is _tölva_ - tala (number) völva (prophetess); astronaut is _geimfari_ - geim (space), fari (traveller); telephone is simply _sími_ (thread or wire). This policy may come across as introverted and insular (a Latin word), but it has a distinct charm of its own.

Some negative aspects , but there are positive one but they are not the topic here : 1. In my experience one problem in Germany is lack of, i would name it spirituality and awareness, thus letting often to dehumanization and lack of empathy. You can say something that is bothering you emotionally and someone may say it is not my business. People are living beings, they are not career, not social status, not workers, regardless of race etc. etc/ they were once or still are sons and daughters of someone, with struggles , families and emotions. Separating the two entities in everyday life is not just a characteristic of society that could be accepted, it is bad thing if it is at this level. It is the core of some evil structures, like wars, totalitarian regimes etc... 2. Political Ideologies - I wish there were not anything that resembles Nazism anymore, but as a core concept is there again in my observation. 3 from 5 years at the unit i was told how bad AFD people are, aka to perceive them negatively. I won't , i also won't hate or have negative feelings toward lefties with which i was involved, with which I also don't agree, but yes, i am pissed by ideologies, not by individuals who are following them. Their life is in some aspects ruined. Instead of enjoying live, they are focused on toxic emotions. I am gonna try love people. Both sides are having it. Overall the The idea is not there, but mentality is, regardless totalitarian tendencies 3. Separations. - left-right, gay- straight, woman - man., black- white, German - foreigner etc. You are rarely seen just as you and your personality. While stereotypes are often true and do exist, people often are often failing to see you outside this context, and it is not exclusively by Germans btw, everything above is characteristics of society as a whole. 4. Lack of freedom of speech : yes, you can say everything and you will earn hidden enemies, lose job etc, because rarely someone is saying what he is thinking outside his inner circle. While holding your tongue behind your lips is often a sign of wisdom, respect etc., at this level i name it hypocrisy , deceive , lying and self-deluding. Saying opinion outside established frames is seen badly and offensive, while people have such opinions, as not liking or liking something not widely accepted they would deny it. 5. At least where i live : Atheism and individualism. There is no moral system, outside political correctness and widely accepted narratives that really puts meaningful frame on what you can do. No one is talking in my experience about greed, Jealousy, dishonesty, vanity, arrogance and many many more, .... But the people who should have least word on this aka politicians are defining some of this. What the **** is this. How should i trust someone who is extremely opportunistic, basically a predator and vulture , who clamed the power structure will define оther people as good and bad . . Everything can be accepted as long as society accepting it. The core idea that human can define good and evil is wrong, but this is my opinion, but discussion won't change it... But here it is, people here are thinking they are superior morally than previous generations, while they are certainty NOT. But this is complex topic. Your God is often redirected to career, social status and self-worshipping . While all of this exist everywhere

8:49 in French cliché also mean's "stereotype"

Cronglish is real thing and funny one 😅 Gremo/Idemo šapiti sirije u stor - We are going to shop for cereals in the store.

Wir haben unsere Service-Hotline nach Polen verlegt. Aber das sind da Polen die deutsch sprechen. Sei mal froh das der Krankenwagen nicht gekommen ist. Bei mir kam er und sie haben meiner Freundin gesagt sie würden mich gerne einschläfern. :D

Thank you for this video 😊 I didn't guess a single word😅😅

Nice video. I liked the quiz at the end. My favourite borrowed word that I hear more and more among English speakers is "schadenfreude" borrowed from German... Its my favourite because most English speakers get the pronunciation wrong.

I left Germany (as German) in 2005 to move to the US - long before Germany suffered all the social and economic issues as of now. I am shocked if I visit once every one or two years for a few weeks how much my home country has worsened - very bureaucratic, missed digitalization, horrible customer service everywhere. Believe me, you won't regret in the future that you left. I myself won't live there again. I grew up there in the best times (which were the 90s IMO), and Germany being superior in economy and innovation in the EU. Politics did severe mistakes in the past 20 years with consequences very visible now. Worst of all - it is not safe anymore, the crime rate is crazy high. But officially the people in Germany live in the best Germany as never before - big joke. I hope people in Germany make their vote count in February to cause significant change.

so you found a jealous lady in Germany, quite common :D Germany is rigid, backwards, old, not good for young dynamic people.

Germany used to be beautiful , I spent 30 years there , however today's germany paints a different picture so I didn't regret leaving

I live in Germany/Bayern, since 7 years already. I find the life here amazing, not perfect but the pozitive aspects are much more than the negative ones.

Well, I have heard several misunderstandings. And cearly a wrong understanding how economy and pricing works. It might be not your fault but there are many people in Germany who refuse to learn the language for decades. And when English becomes the dominant language for ordering food in some areas people might be annoyed. A lot of your points miss the bigger picture. Comparing Germany with Croatia is a huge mistake in this topic. Tourism is a quite big part of the economy there so it is pretty understandable that the companies want to make the vacation experience for customers good, also by offering communication in German. German companies offer communication in English and other languages also. But you expect the customers to offer you a language you can speak. That is a pretty clear difference in mindset, right? People come to Germany with goals. And people can achieve a lot. The german state offers social benefits just after a few years for foreigners. So I am not sure if the german State or people should focus on your individual feelings or your will to bring something to Germany. But you are right with bureaucracy. It is just too much. The homeless are basicially foreigners who did not make it in Germany. I dont know the number for Germany. But in Berlin 90% of the homeless are foreigners. There is not even 1 German who needs to sleep outside. Living like this is a decision for Germans. Anyway, life is full of decisions and you made yours already and there will be many more in future. I wish you all the best.

There are really crazy things happening in this country: ua-cam.com/video/WJcdRnfy11E/v-deo.html Its not all like this, but it got worse again in the last years.

Germany is the most racist country next to Austria. Can be found in the new statistics. I was born in Germany and the Germans using the media and politics to create an advantage for themselves by portraying foreigners as the bad guys. Same like the Nazis did with the jews. They know what they are doing but that has now backfired and they ruined their future. Germans are not liked anywhere in the world. Young people are emigrating.

Yes Germany is way overrated. We dont need anymore migrants or whatever. So if you think to move there, choose a diffrent country. Thank you.

I am German and I am preparing to leave as soon as possible. I think you made the right and wise decision. May God be with you and may you find your right home.

How is this even leagal?as a refugee to change contryes as you wish?

I totally agree with your struggles in German. My native language is English and I have met maybe 2 people in 8 years who would speak to me in English. I even called the immigration office yesterday and my German is pretty good now, but she was speaking so fast and in such complicated German that I struggled. Totally understand your view.

I understand. Bureaucratic processes are frustratingly complicated, often by design, and made worse by miscommunication and a poor grasp of their own rules. Some officials even seem proud of the mess, but since this is part of the culture, change feels unlikely.

War wirklich interessant zu hören

11:30 the thing is these apartments are usually rented for long-term not for foreigners who stay for 1 year. Most people in Germany, foreigners or locals rent and don't own their own apartments. So someone can rent an apartment for 10 or even 20 years. I really hate this about Germany. And also because I'm renting and moving often I cannot buy very nice and quality furniture.

Welcome to the world, PRINCESS. Every country has its own ups and downs, advantages and disadvantages. So grow up, if you wanna travel and live in another country you better suck it up or stay in your own country and just do the travel. Try to live in Asian countries like China, I dare you...

Germany got destroyed by diversity. Diversity was brought into countries through voting habits of liberal women. Pray that the AfD wins and can deport the massive numbers of immigrants that are destroying this beautiful country.

me too same, lived officially in belgium, denmark germany, uk, africa ..definetely leaving germany

Hope you are well. Your video-making is very good. Your content ideas are excellent. But I was researching your channel and was shocked to see that your every video has lower audience engagement and also reaches much lower. If you permit me to do so, I will share some information to increase your channel. Then you get lots of subs, views, and a larger audience reach organically daily. Are you interested to know?

[I write in German, because she is learning german] Ich habe eine Menge seltsame Geschichten über die Ausländerbehörde gehört. Ich habe einen Kollegen aus Syrien, der 10 Monate nach seiner Flucht begann, in deutschen Software-Projekten zu arbeiten. Er macht das nun seit 7 Jahren und bemüht sich seit einigen Monaten um die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit. Damit könnte er Freelancer werden und mehr Geld verdienen. Er hat die vielen Dokumente ausgefüllt und abgegeben. Nun weiss er nicht, wie lange die brauchen, um den Antrag zu bearbeiten. Das kann zwischen 2 und 10 (!) Monate in Anspruch nehmen. Das ist völlig irre. Viele Deutsche beschweren sich, dass hier viel weniger Flüchtlinge in den Arbeitsmarkt integriert sind als in den Niederlanden oder Dänemark. Aber wenn die Hürden für den Arbeitsmarkt so hoch sind und die Sozialhilfe so vergleichsweise umfangreich, dann müssen wir uns nicht wundern. Ohne die vielen arabischen und osteuropäischen Kollegen wäre die IT in Deutschland auf jeden Fall in einem noch schlechterem Zustand. Das Wort für eine Wohnung mit Küche und Möbel heißt "möblierte Wohnung". Sie existieren. Frankfurt ist vergleichsweise teuer. Kleiner Ort in der Nähe kann alles mögliche heißen. Orte nördlich von Frankfurt sind sehr teuer. Offenbach ist günstiger, aber das liegt in der Einflugschneise des Flughafens. Aktuell gibt es einen starken Mangel an kleinen Wohnungen in Großstädten, nicht nur wegen der Flüchtlinge. Es ist nicht absehbar, dass dieser Mangel kurzfristig behoben wird. Ich habe es oft in Projekten erlebt, dass sich viele der insbesondere vor 1980 geborenen Deutschen sehr schwer tun, wenn sie plötzlich Englisch sprechen sollen. Sie verstehen zwar viel, fühlen sich aber nicht sicher beim Sprechen. Sie können das einfach nicht besonders gut. Dänen, flämische Belgier, Niederländer, Schweden und Finnen haben damit überhaupt keine Probleme. Warum? In den kleineren europäischen Ländern wurden viele Filme nicht übersetzt. Die nach 1980 geborenen Deutschen lernten Englisch im Internet. Viele der älteren Deutschen schämen sich für ihr Englisch, obwohl sie es durchaus könnten. Nur halt nicht so gut. Ihr schlechtes Englisch ist aber unter ihrer Würde als Deutscher. Sprachen lernt man, indem man sie spricht. Also werden sie irgendwann mit ihrem schlechten Englisch sterben. Deutschland befindet sich aktuell politisch in einer Art Identitätskrise. Wir lebten lange Zeit von unseren gut ausgebildeten Ingenieuren. Deren Produkte liessen sich sehr gut auf dem Weltmarkt verkaufen. Nun gibt es plötzlich eine viel stärkere Konkurrenz aus Ostasien für Maschinen und Autos. Außerdem haben wir Probleme mit unseren wichtigsten Exportmärkten in China und den USA. Die guten Ingenieure bilden nur eine kleine Minderheit der Deutschen, aber die anderen konnten lange Zeit sehr gut davon leben. Die Löhne in Deutschland sind noch höher als in vielen Nachbarländern. Es fragt sich halt wie lange.

Very cozy cold-opening. And thanks for sharing your experience in Germany. After all that I think you’ve certainly had an interesting life.

I think this video will be super helpful for all who want to go live in Germany🇩🇪Thank you for your honest 😊

I wish you good luck in all the challenges you face on this journey. You make even the hardest things seem easy. May your life always be filled with beauty and kindness, dear and lovely-hearted lady. Stay bright, like a shining star, always!

You made the right decision.

Basically accurate. I hope your experience in Hamburg was a little better, there is at least the opportunity to look for a friendly environment here. Regarding Ausländerbehörde: As a white woman from a European country, you are rather privileged. I help refugees from Afghanistan, they have completely different problems.

I completely understand how you feel. There are so many wonderful opportunities in other places. All the best for 2025!

thanks for the informative video🔥

Useful tips, thank you!

It's so nice to listen to you, everything is clear and interesting😊

❤my favourite teacher , thank you 🎉 you are amazing

Your way of explaining the lessons is clear and effective! Your energy and motivation really engage the viewers. Wishing you continued success💝

I’m always happy for an excuse to buy a new notebook 😂 great video!

I've heard it said that taking a short break from learning a language actually enables the brain to better assimilate what's been studied, whether it's grammar or listening ability. Whenever I've discontinued study, I always come back refreshed and don't feel I've really lost what I'd learned - my aptitude comes back quickly and I progress beyond the level at which I paused. I've stopped and started Spanish so many times, but I'm still improving and for me the main thing is that I enjoy the experience notwithstanding the length of time it's taken up to this point.

I needed this film.I didn't have motivation yesterday, but today this motivation and desire to learn have come back.When I don't have motivation again, I will come back here.By the way, how long have you been learning English to such a level?

😮❤
