Young Kids are amazing at crossing language barriers. I once saw Polish toddlers speaking with German toddlers in the playground who met just 5 minutes before. Each in their own language but also picking up words in the other language. They seemed to half understand and half guess. It was amazing to observe that!
@@galaxywavefiji1296 what r u talking about. Germany has so many dialects that Germans don't even understand themselves inside their actual borders in some cases lmao
that's why we are the only human species left. There where stronger and smarter naked apes until the end of the last ice age. We survived, because we can work together. Afaik Homo Erectus had more brain volume, but the part, responsible for communicating was significantly smaller than that of Homo Sapiens of the same time. Humanity rules the planet, because we love and care, we feel empathy and help each other. Whenever we stop doing that, things turn ugly.

Yes, that's great, if you keep doing it to her, she will learn the natural way! Kids are very quick with stuff like that. And then you two will be able to communicate in a secret language no one else in the house nows!
Hi Nick, long time no post. But I still have “Shot” and “Wrapped in Piano Strings” on multiple playlists - Workout, My Favorites, etc. I don’t even hear the words the music is so beautiful, and I always think of those lovely videos you made in Portland before you left for Germany. So I thank you for that.
Du sprichst besser Deutsch als gedacht 😜 Solltest du öfter probieren, damit du es nicht vergisst. Ich hab dich ganz gut verstanden in NRW 😂 Thumbs up for your German skills 👍
I love virtual visits to the Alfieri house! I'm trapped inside mine most of the time with pandemic social distancing and get bored out of my gourd. This is much appreciated Nick!
Es ist so schön zu sehen, dass es deiner Familie und dir gut geht....und das du Freude hast Deutsch zu sprechen. Bringe es der Kleinen bei. Sie wird schnell lernen und du hast jemand zum Unterhalten.
Hi Nick! If a video leaves you with more questions than answers it's a good one. Enjoy Your early uncle of the year nomination (I guess one scared little boy crying doesn't count) ... 💙 and 💪 from Germany PS: Wir schaffen das - ob wir wollen oder nicht.
Your German sounds good Nalf! How long did you live in Germany? I live most of the year in the Heidelberg area since 2006 and I wasn't confident speaking German until my 3rd or 4th year and that's with taking classes as well.

Once when I was back in America for a visit, I met a German woman who lived there who was married to an American and was trying to raise her kids to be bilingual. She asked me to speak to her kids in German so that they would hear it from someone besides her for a change, but they flat refused to speak to me in German. They looked at me like I was insane when I spoke to them in German, and they would only answer me in English.
Just like every other time she's in a video I was aahing and oohing about Ro (Rosita? Monroe?) in my head! Or maybe even out loud a couple of times! I just love her! Also: Nalf! No need to make yourself seem even cuter by rubbing in the child-friendliness this much! You are hawt dad material! We get it! 🙄
Your German is actually much improved since last time I saw one of your videos! And btw, are you still coming back to Germany this year or will there be no Football Season again?
That's why it would be soooo important to start with foreign languages as early as possible - we could all easily speak 3-4 languages fluently if we had the opportunity to start in kindergarten or even earlier.
I visited the kindergarden in three completely different countries. I learned the second language after a couple of months and the third language after some years.
7:34 "Sie können Deutsch verstehen!" Warum siezt du das Kind? haha But seriously, I love that you talk to her like a normal person and not in "baby talk" like many people do with children.

Hi, NALF! You should read Erin Meyer book The Culture Map. Its have so interesting stories cultural differences between USA and Germany. Like when German and American executive teams meat. Americans complain that Germans are so hierarchical and Germans complain that Americans are so hierarchical... :D
When you know the origin of the English, Frisian, Dutch and German languages, you will no longer be surprised... Old English is the origin of all of these languages and was spoken around the North Sea, at least that is what I understood. Why we as adults have trouble understanding these languages I don't know, but young kids like to communicate wihtout thinking about it and that works.

Maybe because polish people are Germans who are living in prussia speaking a fake made up language , aka polish and or Klingon

Is this proof nalf speaks german on toddler level?
everyone starts as a toddler .... me too.
The little darling has better pronounciation, though
ja, so ungefähr :-)
😂
İt means that he speaks German that internationally that even an American toddler would understand.

I love that you were speaking Deutsch! You should do this more often. I understood most of it! Great job! Glad you're doing well, Nalf.
NALF: Say something in German!
Girl: Papa Taschengeld
Miss you being in Germany. Your huffing and puffing after your work out sound like me but I'm 72 and getting over Covid-19
Gute Besserung!
Get well soon !
2 months and the child speaks German better than nalf - sure!
She speaks almost accent free!
Actually, that’s probably true. Language acquisition is far faster at younger ages.
Yes, that's great, if you keep doing it to her, she will learn the natural way! Kids are very quick with stuff like that. And then you two will be able to communicate in a secret language no one else in the house nows!
Nalf, really glad to see something from you again. Your german sounds really good. Looking forward to see you again in germany. Du schaffst das.
Three cheers for the precious toddler too...Those ringlets are so adorable!
aww this is so cute😄 also great to see you speak German again!
She is so precious!

It's good to have you back!
It's so crazy how time flies while I watch NALF videos!
You got my like for the first smile of the little girl. So charming
that’s so cute🥺🥺
When visiting friends in Germany, “kaput” was absolutely essential when communicating with their kiddos 😂😂
🙈😂
Yeah, it's basically everything you'll need. XD
Gutes Deutsch,Nalf! Sie ist super niedlich! 😍
I ABSOLUTELY love your family vlogs 🥰🥰🥰
That was really adorable 😄

Gut gemacht, Nick !
Your German is still Good!!!! Keep on...Greetz from Berlin
Nick, the way you work those weights make my knees hurt big time. Ouch! Have a go with Mike Mentzers Heavy Duty Training.
Wow, Nalf, your german is A++
Sie können Deutch verstehen. He is very polite with the toddler. 😊
HE'S BACK! What are you doing with yourself now? How are you and your family coping during these Covid Times?

The brain of a child is always open minded! ;-)
I have a feeling she really understood a good part of it! :-) Kids are smart! :-)
German and English are both indogermanic Languages. A lot of words are similar. So sweet this Child. Children learns so fast languages, unbelievable.
Handy for example
@@viralshortssport Das ist ein Anglizismus bzw eigentlich ein Neologismus da kein Muttersprachler jemals Handy benutzen würde um ein Mobiltelefon zu bezeichnen

That’s not a bad thing. At least they understand everything you said in German.
She was like „????“ 😂😂
That litte kid is wearing my alma mater. I live in Germany and it's fun to see it from here.

awwwwww
Working out with Ballroom Blitz by the Sweet - love it! 🤘
One should never underestimate a toddler's ability to pick up on languages at super speed!
Could it be that your timbre changes when speaking German? By the way good job and the girl even said: "in bisschen" - here we go!
Corvallis! ..my hometown.
We miss you!
Nice job practicing German while you're away!
I like the cat and your mom. :D
Respekt! Deutsch, die Sprache der Dichter und Denker
The thumbnail is everything on this video ❤️ 👧🏻
Your German is actually much improved since last time I saw one of your videos!
And btw, are you still coming back to Germany this year or will there be no Football Season again?
Random fact of the day: "Ross" is an old fashioned German word for "Pferd". By metathesis it became "horse" in English.
Yes! This explains the Rossmann mascot being a horse man!
in french "une rosse" is an old or in poor state horse. It comes from old french, was old german.
Teaching the youth about football in Germany and German in the states? 10/10
You made the baby cry 🙈
When we moved back to France, my kids switch speaking English into French in two days. They were about the same age.
When do you come back to germany/Schwäbischhall?
Oh sooooo süsssssss

could be Rowyn

Not really , as english has adopted a lot of french and latin vocabulary
@@emiriebois2428 and so have German and Dutch.
@@dikkiedik53 Not to that extent . Almost half of the vocabulary are actually french .
