❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist and Donnie was a graphic designer, but we both had a dream to #travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! After 9 months of aimless and nonstop travel, we now get to fulfill our dreams of #LivingAbroad as #expats as we move to #Germany!

Just curious on the topic of languages, how many languages do you speak? 🤔
Three, Dutch, German and English. But starting a forth, Frisian, probably next year.
2 fluent + 1 basic
German and English fluently, Spanish at a Medium level
Fluent just 2 German and English.
Broken bits that are enough to get around 5 Spanish, Italian, French, Greek and Dutch
In regards of reading all of the above in varying levels and I often get what is written in Danish, Norwegian and Swedish
And I did learn Latin but I sadly don't need it anymore. Wanted to be Latin Teacher but I'm miles away from that with my job
German (Mother Tongue)
English (C1)
And I can read Latin without a dictionary.
Germans aren't really complaining about the weather even if they do. Just consider it something we like to do to engage or keep the flow in a conversation where we can agree on the subject without hurting anyone's sensitivities. It's like Americans "how are you" without really wanting to know....
Well, I certainly are complaining about the weather when it rains all the day and you need to switch on the light even in the middle fo the day. And I certainly complain about heat when it goes above 30° for days without end.
complaining about something together is a bonding thing, isn't it?
@@steemlenn8797mmmiiiimmiiiii 😂😂😂
Just wanted to write exactly this.. itˋs our local "can opener" to any conversation and the beauty is that you only talk about observable facts..
Okay, the Berlin Lederhosen joke caught me off guard. Haha good one
As a German I actually like the German weather. We are quite lucky with our location, close enough to big bodies of water to keep it without extremes and with the position of the alps also some protection from tornado causing weather.
Dryer winters might be nice, but our nature needs the water.
And pump spray.
Gernans complaining about the weather? We are constantly complaining about almost everything ...... And if we have nothing to complain about we complain about having nothing to complain about ..... seufz ... liebe Grüße!
And that is an endearing quality of Germans 😅 Right? 😉 Grüße!
Of course, why not?
@@PassportTwo Genau, denn das gibt dem Ganzen ein gewisses Augenzwinkern --- wink wink lol
Best analysis ever 👍🤣
In Germany, if you want to praise someone or think something is good, you often say: Da kann man nicht meckern! (You can't complain!) That says a lot about what we're like. But don't take everything so seriously, with a wink.
No, you misunderstand German complaining. Its German small talk.
Look, Americans are like this:
Hi, how are you? / Great and you? / Awesome, me too. / is it true bla bla i am so happy for you. / Why thank you, really appreciate it.
Germans are like:
Und, wie stehts? / Moah fang bloß nich an, geht echt auf die Knochen das scheiß Wetter / Ja hast recht, das schifft jetzt die ganze Woche und Arbeit ist nur Stress pur /Bei dir auch? Ist echt übel.
Well, you could think that is very negative small talk on the German side comparing to Americans. But its not. Americans cheer each other up, Germans comfort each other in sharing the pain.
Interesting - never thought about it that way.
Very true! :)
Haha, top Kultur-Analyse! 😂😂😂
😂 For 5 years I had the pleasure to weekend commute by train - together with all the other weekend commuters. Hardly anyone spoke. Unless there were a strike, main railway damaged, or any other disruption extending the „normal“ delays. Than everybody was talking with everybody, because there was a shared topic everybody could join. 😂
(I cannot tell, how much I love home office 😂)
Americans are too polite to be direct. Germans are too direct to be polite ;)
Oh my God, I will never complain about the weather in Germany again 😂
In Germany the summers are hot because almost no one has air conditioning at home. And we‘re living in a comfortable zone where the gulf stream brings nice and warm springs and the continental winds are bringing cold and snowy winters, normally. That‘s why up Europe, despite sitting much more to the north than the US, has still milder weather without the extremes that can occur in the US.
Great video! It was good to see Nick too!
I live in Belgium and although we also complain about the weather, we are so lucky with our weather because we have no tornados, snowstorms, earthquakes, forest fires...
For English speaking people Belgium is also a great option, Flanders in particular because most Flemish people are very fluent in English, Walloons (French speaking Belgians in the south of Belgium) are usually not as fluent in English.
Belgium also has amazing bicycle races 😂
I can agree to the most things my belgium neighbor said here. Except the words: "Belgium is also a great option".
I'm just joking, Belgium is really nice!
German directness is a good and a bad thing, as you say, but we’re not as direct as many may think. Consider the English “Come in.” It’s direct. Not impolite but to the point. You can modify it, take the sting out of it, if you will, by saying “Come on in.” That one extra word raises the friendliness factor.
This is how modifiers work in German too. “Setz dich.” is direct. You can modify it by saying “Setz dich doch.” See? It softens it. You can go further by saying “Setz dich ruhig.” Very friendly. So different modifiers have different tasks. “Setz dich doch mal” might express impatience.
The thing is, these modifiers cannot be easily translated into other languages. English uses a lot of subjunctives or non-specific words to modify sentences. “Could you” or “maybe,” as you mentioned in your video. They translate well enough into German, but it’s not so easy the other way around. Say, how would you translate “mal,” as in “Setz dich mal”?
It’s the way the German language works, and I often feel it’s judged too harshly. (Not by you. I just wanted to add it for completeness, not to contradict anything you said.)
Oh yes, the good old modal (or mood) particles like doch, mal, eben etc.. If you don't understand them you miss a big chunk of information in spoken German.
I was never aware of their importance till I watched some videos by channels like Easy German about them.
Yes, and these are the things automatic translators have the most problems with. You have to carefully form the text you want to have translated.
The Lederhosen joke just nearly made me spill tea :D really on point
Stick deodorant, I suppose, not the creamy kind, the rather dry one, which only leaves a thin layer on the skin. And I found it the most effective kind for me.
Das ist "simply" eines euer besten Videos.
Hahaha, Donnie... You sprinkled in so many mentions of accurate German stereotypes (leather pants being something completely different in Munich and Berlin😂😂) that I had to literally LOL multiple times. As in break out in fits of giggles and laughter... Now as a German I have to reset my well known "no humor face"... Cause Germans don't have a sense of humor 😂😂
Random question of the week: roll-on, or pump spray.
Schnacker, deutscher Humor ist mit Köpfchen nicht einfach mit dem Amerikansichen versteckten Sarkasmus...
7:59 BS. My German friends eat spicier food than me and I’m from SPAIN
That's because Spanish food is not really hot😂
I don't use deodorant - no stick, no spray. I prefer water to wash away the sweat before it drys and smell. You can never be really sure what is in these produkts. ...and sometimes some people do much to much to cover their own smell, so that it's hard to breathe next to them
Please don't do that. People CAN smell you without you realizing. At least use a Natron solution (mixed with water) or Coconut oil (can also be mixed with Natron). This makes a perfectly fine natural anti-stink product. Believe me - people smell you but don't tell you.
@@derhard706 You're plain wrong. I commute by bicycle and have asked my colleagues explicitly to tell me if I stink. I also tend to ask explicitly when I'm not sure. I've never had a positive answer. It is not true that you can't smell your own stench - it is only that you don't notice it as acutely as someone else's, because you get used to it. But you are perfectly able to smell it.
Just washing and changing your underwear daily will suffice for most people not to smell offensively. And the smell of sweat is surely way less offensive than people who reek of deodorant. Especially when people think deodorant is a functional replacement for body hygiene and reek of both stale sweat and deodorant.
Nerdy correction: There were no kingdomS within the Holy Roman Empire. (Bohemia had a special status.) There was _one_ German king who was elected(!) and then crowned Emperor of the HRE (first by the Pope, in later centuries by a bishop). The "patchwork" of duchies, principalities, counties, bishoprics and free imperial cities was not at all unusual in Europe - what is now France, the (not yet then) United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and every other country in Europe were exactly the same patchwork, only without an emperor and with only one (or more) kings. (Remember? Versailles was built to bring the nobility under control. The British House of Lords and House of Commons are exactly the same as the imperial estates in the HRE, only divided into two parts. The Magna Charta also has a counterpart almost as old, the Golden Bull). The only odd thing about the HRE was that it had not one capital city but "Pfalzen" (palatinates), alternating temporary seats of the imperial court.
Incidentally, the HRE (at its core, i.e. modern-day Germany) was the most stable and prosperous political entity (think of a modern federal State like the USA or Germany!) in Europe for over 1,000 years, not unlike the Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, which also lasted about a millennium each. Sorry for the rant, but IMO the HRE is notoriously underrated because of Voltaire's silly bon mot.
Edit: Spray deodorant. 🤪
@hape3862
So Austria (within the HRE) can be seen as German ("HRE … *deutscher* Nation"), therefore Mozart was formally of German descent. Right?
@@agn855Mozart called himself a German because at the time there wasn't as much of a distinction between Germans and Austrians as today. Austrian was just one more culture in the blanket term German that includes all other subgroups we have here. Today most Germans and Austrians agree that Austrians aren't Germans but that the two are very closely related.
@@agn855 He was born in Salzburg. "Salzburg was first part of Bavaria for a good 600 years, then an independent principality in the confederation of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation for about 500 years. From 1805 to 1810 [Mozart died in 1791, mind you!] and finally after the Congress of Vienna in 1816, the province of Salzburg (except for the Rupertigau) became part of Austria." (translated from the German Wikipedia) - So Mozart was a Salzburgian and _definitely not_ an Austrian. If Austrian claims that Salzburg is _now_ Austria would count as an argument, then Immanuel Kant would have been a Russian …
Fun Fact: Mozart wouldn't be Austrian even today, as _both_ his parents weren't Austrians! Being just born in Austria to foreign parents does _not_ grant you citizenship.
Countries are more a thing of the 19th century. People in the past were more about kingdoms, not actual countries
I apreciate this little rant. the HRE is something I know too little about. I still get the impression that, especially compared to france, germany has stayed very patchworky until today.
It's so great that we have all the many cultures in Germany. Awesome video, great channel. I always like to stop by. And your German is so good!
RQOTW: I use a "Deo-Roller" - a liquid in a bottle with a big ball (like in a ballpoint pen, just bigger)
Just to directly respond to the random question: I'm using a roller - which probably falls into your "stick" category.
And I speak German, English and French. It feels like i'm close to some proficiency in Norwegian, and I am trying (but really still struggling) to learn Irish.
Yeah Berliner Lederhosn. Better watch your back. 😁👍
6:03 that’s actually not even an argument. The countries surrounding Germany have the same weather, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark even have WORSE weather and yet they are not known for complaining about the weather…
being numbed to the pain?
I don‘t think that it‘s really about the weather when Germans complain about the weather. Talking about the weather is simply our way of saying something innocuous. When it's good, we praise the weather, and when it's worse, we complain about it. But it has no deeper meaning. The real point of it is to have a short, friendly conversation.
Huh, I never considered this perspective about German weather, but it definitely is true. The most common life-threatening weather-related issue Germany regularly deals with is floods, and even those only very rarely turn out to be deadly (with a few exceptions, as we sadly saw with the Ahrtal flood in 2021).
Plymouth Katastrophe mal suchen... Ahrtal war ein Wetterexperiment

Und zur Plymouth Katastrophe und du meinst das die Militärdokunente dazu lügen??? Denn deren Geheimhaltung wurde vor 10 Jahren aufgehoben.
PS warum denkt Ottonormal immer das man DAS Wetter punktuell nicht beeinflussen kann?? Es liegt eben nur daran wieviel Energie man in die Atmosphäre pumpt. Die Beeinflussung findet eben auf Elementrteilchenebene statt sprich Elektronen und Protonen!!!
Das Wetter ist mal wieder heftig! Letzte Woche noch knapp 30°C und jetzt nur noch 10°C - der Wechsel kommt immer so heftig! Okay, just my part of complaining about the weather in German(y). I'm speaking German and English and I can partly read and understand French and Swedish. Deodorant? Spray if any. But pump spray and not the gas pressure one.
Had a lot of fun. Greetings from southern Rheinland-Pfalz, too. :D
When you are travelling, particularly if driving, it's a good idea to know a bit of the country's language. You see a sign on the roadside, does it say 'Bridge ahead collapsed' or 'Apples for sale'?
I'm so ready for fall and winter. I wanted to say that I really appreciate that you do not share anything about your baby online. That is to say no pictures, videos etc
Noticing how the weather changed in the last couple of years in many parts of the world I will never complain about the german weather again. Even if it changed already.
I never understood why people from other countries are complaining about the german directness. Always remind, if a german says "I like you", you know he means what he says.
Get's you a like simply for integrating Bernd das Brot.
In Germany we do have bad weather. But even there is some kind of stormy weather, nearly no House will be blowend away. 😎
And since everything here runs underground except for the large overhead power lines, there is no need for weeks of repairs after a storm or ice rain.
Many younger people in Germany routinely use entire English phrases mixed into their German.
As a German i love these Videos, becaus i always wonder WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN GERMANY.. xd As a German i want to live in Japan and always think like "do they dream about Germany like i dream about Japan" like Germany is ofc normal for me, and other countrys are exciting and new... so i think ohh other people have that feeling about Germany? But i kinda still cant understand it.. xD
Die haben noch nie vom Mindestlohn gehört
Ja, so ist es. Ich wollte nach Australien, pures Abenteuer. Die Aussies wollten dann aber alle nach Europa und eben auch Germany. Die kulturelle Vielfalt, Architektur (inkl. Burgen & Schlösser) und Geschichte hat eben seine Reize. Ich habe die Heimat doch neu schätzen gelernt, was für uns normal ist, kann für andere absolut faszinierend sein :)
Money. Thats the main reason.
Two answer the pinned question, English is of course my native language and I'm currently trying to add a second and learning Italian but I'm not confident enough to speak to another human in it and probably never will.
Spray deodorant to your end of video question
I see how being direct could be a selling point to life in Germany. I hate when people don't give me an answer and I'm unable to make other plans as a result and I'm sometimes almost forced to accept social invitations because I'm afraid if I decline too many they will stop coming.
As Oklahoma is next to Texas, this might apply to Oklahoma as well:
"If I owned Texas and hell, I'd rent out Texas, and live in hell"
With all the different German cultural differences, could make you think it's a big country. It isn't. it's just the old city states didn't merge into one country until recently. Many European countries are like that, like Italy and a few other places in Europe.
Gel 😀
If you want a bit more action in the weather, I recommend the North Sea coast, my home region in the northwest. The landscape is relatively boring, the winters are milder than in the south and the summers shorter and colder, with higher humidity in general. In autumn and winter, strong storms are possible (gales up to 100 mph)- we currently have a high tide of +1.5 metres due to windy weather. However, we have almost 40 minutes less daylight in winter than in the south (but almost 40 minutes more in summer) and the winters are more dreary than in the south 😂 Especially in fall and spring, the weather changes abruptly several times a day. Today f.e. the sun is shining part-time with fast moving surprising heavy rainshowers every 1-2 hours and we had two small thunderstorms already today.
And yes the culture is really very different, I live in the northwest and my mother has lived in the southeast in deepest Bavaria for almost 13 years, the differences are really enormous ... and yet somehow we are the same, I can't describe it 😂 We northern Germans tend to be quieter and more reserved towards strangers (more focused on family/friends etc.) and this is often perceived as unfriendly by strangers, for example when we don't want to participate in small talk. In the South, people tend to be more talkative, and people talk more with strangers. That's at least my opinion.
Found it completely different. In Bavaria people were grumpy while in Northern Germany they were nice and someone spoke to me while I was waiting at a pedestrian traffic light, holding a short conversation.
Then there's Germans vs Austrians. They think they are different but actually the two most German guys I know are Austrian.
I've just come back from Berlin and got fed up with waiters trying to speak English with us even when we'd established that we were German.
Is that a towel or a shirt (or both) you are wearing? 😯
It looks nice and soft, though.
Basically both 😅
Incredibly soft and my favorite because of that haha 😊
@@PassportTwo That sounds amazing. Where can I get one? 🙂
I just happened to find it on an end-of-season sales rack at Peek & Cloppenburg at the end of the summer this year. 😊
Almost Star-Trek universal translator there 2:58
the diversety part is something i have never been able to get across to americans i talk to, every time i go cultures are vastly different depending on the area, they go "oh yeah we have the same thing i barely understand people from texas" , and then i go , no, you dont understand...and then i dont know how to explain
1. Hats off! And thank you. Your enthusiasm and positive vibes make you a great teacher and also ambassador.
2. Spray. Definitely. Takes too long with a roller or stick to cover all the "places". Not convinced? You might smear a candy bar in your armpit...
Right now there's "Ostseesturmhochwasser" (=Baltic Sea storm high water) at the coast of the German Baltic Sea - not a "Sturmflut" (=storm flood), because there aren't tides per se in that continental sea and so no floods.
Deodorant: roll-on
Southwest has also leatherpants
RQotW: I use a "Deo-Roller" , but why do you ask this? did you run out of other things to ask about?
you planning to do anything for Halloween for your little one?
geil ein mechanischer babelfisch ;)
I use "Deoroller"/Deo roll on. I do not like Spray a lot and I hate sticks.
Didn't you already ask us about which deodorant we're using a couple of weeks ago ?
Spray at home, stick abroad. I can speak fluent German and English, non to almost fluent French, Spanish and Italian, some (not good) Dutch. Tried to learn some Portuguese, but failed, maybe because portuguese people are very good in english ;-)
I have a question have you ever been to Austria?
A couple of times and to different parts 😊
As someone who doesn’t use Deodorant I see this as an absolute win 😂
4:47 Hmm, this is interesting, I wonder how this works legally. I know that in Germany for example it is illegal to record a conversation if not all parties consent or are aware of being recorded, but I don't know whether that extends to transcriptions.
Recording it is not in itself illegal, but the recording must not be published, cannot be used as evidence in court, and If any of the persons involved in the recorded conversation find outcand demand that you delete it, you have to do that. But it's Not illegal in the sense that you are punished (pay a fine, go to prison) for simply recording the conversation.

You forgot roll-on. Also "deodorant" or "anti-perspirant". The US market has gone to lots of stick and no roll on for men. Last month I bought four roll on men's anti-perspirants at Lidl for €.60 each to bring back to the US
German Weather is really easy in Germany. South=365 days Good Weather North 365 bad weather
I love your random questions. SPRAY deodorant, of course. I'm not shaving my armpits, so that's the only reasonable thing to use. AND it has a social aspect to it, too: You can help out a friend on a hot day in a completely hygienic way. That's also the reason why I prefer gender-neutral scents. Lemon is always a good choice.
I use roll-on deodorant (anti-perspirant), and unscented. I hate aerosol cans. I probably wouldn't have married my wife over thirty years ago if she had been using hairspray. Never felt the urge to help out someone with my deodorant so that aspect is irrelevant for my choice.
@@tillneumann406 Hairspray, please don't mention it: I was a student 30 years ago and I hated it when some girlfriend sprayed her hair in my tiny little bathroom. Left a sticky film on everything like some kind of superglue. And some spray-on deodorants at that time were quite like that, but people started avoiding those brands, and spray cans aren't as explosive anymore as they (allegedly) used to be, so today, it's the most convenient thing for me.
As to hairspray, I can't tell. I never got married.
I have a small pump-bottle to carry with me - yes, it's definitely "emergency friendly". Though at home, I have a roll-on ;)
Deodorant? Rarely but when i do, its not a stick or spray. I wouldn't call it a gel either. Its not the consistency of hair gel or lotion, its more like a paste. Keeps your armpits perfectly dry, and often lasts the next day even if you shower in between
Deodorants and anti-perspirants are not the same thing.
Das musste ja auch mal gesagt werden! Dankeschön! 👍
german (native) , english (close to fluently).
and the german dialect alleman.And swiss german.

Naja, nach der Flutkatastrophe im Ahrtal kann man auch in RLP nicht mehr von wettermäßig safe sprechen.
Stick deoderant, because it is way more convinient. Actually, telling someone that you don't want to do something or maybe even propose another idea is polite, I think. Afer all, if you don't know if some plans are actually going to happen or not you waist time and who wants to do that?
I love germany, because more social wellfare, less crime,
good health care. (some minor problems.)
more help for people with less income.
more and better culture. Not all like "plastic disneyland"
What I don`t like: Many things are too difficult, or too restricted.
ie to register a car, or to get a driverl icence.
Many things are forbidden, or has too much rules and limitations.
I thinK: Too many !!!
Tags are very important in germany. To tell, how limited or forbidden here.
No deodorant at all. It's not necessary. Just keep yourself clean. Since I commute by bicycle and sweat profusely while doing it, I have asked my colleagues explicitly to tell me if they can smell me. And they wouldn't hesitate to do so, as I explained that would not consider it rude to tell me, and I'd rather think it rude NOT to tell me when I stink. Which never happened.
Of course, you can use deodorant if you think it's necessary - but for the love of dog don't think deodorant is a REPLACEMENT for body hygiene. There's nothing worse than someone reeking of both stale sweat and (too much) deodorant. Wash yourself.
Random question: Neither! I have a cream ;)
There is a general amnesia about the fact that the state of Prussia was torn apart, that Bavaria was not a Prussian state and that we are still the pig Prussians (Saupreußen) to them.
They have forgotten to mention that the Prussians were given the German cap. Germany only has a short history and it's a terrible one.
Complaining is the German way of small talk.
