Just wanted to say: Dont let the negativity of some people get to you. I really like your content and I do appreciate the effort you put into your videos! Thanks!
Sorry for your loss, Lila. Thank you for posting your wonderful videos -- they are super helpful as a fellow American potentially moving to Germany. Hope you are well and staying safe!! :)
Thanks for your video! We Germans have a special culture and I can understand that we Germans are not always considered friendly or helpful. We have more of a reserved culture ("If you need help, feel free to get in touch!") and are less likely to approach people directly and small talk (especially here in Northern Germany) is rather rare. I myself react surprised and reserved when strangers approach me just like that, typical German 😑🤣 And I have the highest respect for foreigners learning German - such a difficult language! Even I, as a North German, make mistakes all the time and check every e-mail at work three times to make sure that everything is grammatically correct 🤣 And I have total incomprehension for the fact that you are then criticized for not speaking German fluently or making mistakes instead of being happy that the language is being learned and respect is shown for it. I've seen people with learning disabilities struggle for support in college and I really don't think that's okay. My niece has a learning disability herself and we as a family had to fight like lions with all the authorities until she received the school support that is best for her development. Germany has a lot of catching up to do here! The gripe culture of the Germans, the eternal criticizing and complaining about all sorts of things also gets on my nerves and I'm also of the opinion that you should keep your mouth shut if you have nothing meaningful to say (I think this is where my German directness comes out again in the statement). Bleib wie du bist! 😎
So glad to see you back on youtube. I've been watching you for several years over several accounts. You have grown so much over the years. Glad to see your happy and living your best life.
I find the name change for the said reasons absolutely understandable. That sucks in the long run. Just like having to hear from someone else how to speak in which language with your friends. I like the confidence you talk to. Keep it up.
After watching different videos made by Americans in Germany I certainly liked yours the most. Ah wait, beside NALF. Both of you are a real pleasure to watch. I especially appreciate your direct and honest approach to subjects. Well, that's probable the Germany in myself speaking. Keep up the great job you're doing and vielen Dank.
I think it was good step to change the channels name, for me lamblike was a quite shy and quiet girl/woman but you're speaking louder, you evolved in audio quality and self-confidence so the old name wasn't fitting anymore to the person in the video. Hi from Hamburg on the other side fits very well I think so good job and good video.
Deinen Channel gerade gefunden, fand den Bericht über die Krankenversicherung sehr interessant. Hope you enjoy your stay here, stay healthy. All the best from Hamburg.
We all love you, Lila. We also appreciate the work you put into editting your videos. The lighting is perfect, by the way, even though the sun is down, your face and personality are as beautiful as the sun. 🔆
Hey, just found your channel. I love your story and how you came to be in Germany. It sounds like you worked really hard to adapt to the German lifestyle and everything that comes with it. I can even hear a little bit of a German accent in your voice as well, which is awesome. I've heard of Americans who have lived in Germany FOR EVER and still haven't found their German tongue. I myself am half German and have been raised bi-culturally in the US. You've re-invigorated my drive to some day make that big 1-way trip to Germany some day soon.
Hallo Lila. :) Ich habe Deine vorherigen Videos hin und wieder angeschaut und fand deshalb dieses hier auch wieder interessant. Die dramatischen Geschichten, wie jemand sich zwischen zwei Leben in zwei Ländern entscheiden muss, sind immer sehr fesselnd! Ja, ich bin auch „ein German male“, und heute habe ich erfahren, daß Du keine Hundetrainerin wirst. ;)
@Hi From Hamburg Ps: Vor 2 Years bist du so schüchtern herübergekommen. Jetzt strahlst du Selbstbewußsein aus! Ich mag deine Voice sehr, Lila. Aber ist es möglich, dass du etwas langsamer sprichst? Manchmal komme ich mit meinem bad English nicht hinterher. XD Nice Sunday, freue mich schon auf dein next Video!
@@tasminoben686 Wie Lila schon in einem anderen Kommentar schrieb: "Versuch es mal mit langsamer Wiedergabe!", klappt damit ganz gut, ist aber auch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig... (oben rechts im Video '...' anklicken und im Menü Wiedergabegeschw. 0,75 wählen)
@YT-Viewer from GER Thx für den Tipp. Kannst du, genau wie LILA natürlich nicht wissen: Ich bind blind, arbeite hier mit 'VOICE OVER' auf dem APFELTELEFON' und einer Braillezeile. Damit funktionieren nicht alle 'Knöpfe'. Ist, z. B. ein Komment lang, kann ich um Antworten vorlesen zu lassen manchmal mit 'Trick 17 rein. Oft aber bekomme ich die Antwortleiste gar nicht auf. trotzdem danke für den Tipp! Bleib negativ, denk weiter positiv! Ben
@Arno Dobler Moin Arno, geht nix über ein Hamburger Matjesbrötchen! Oder eine Scheibe Schwarzbrot mit Butter, frischen Krabben und dazu ein kaltes FLENS! Mist , ich hab nix davon im Haus! Schönen Sonntag
Okay, I know I am all over your IG/YT and I apologize for that - I just relate to your content a lot and really enjoy it! I appreciate you mentioning the thing about American friends - I get that a lot and I can find it hurtful: some of my deepest connections come from my friends in the states. Austrian openness also defies many stereotypes, so I appreciate your comments pushing back on generalizations across both channels! (Though I will say... Austrians tend to bring up fast food or obesity within 90(ish) seconds of meeting me, which is frustrating). I think many people confuse the American friendliness and "yeah, come over any time!" with superficiality, when it's honestly just a way that many Americans try to make someone new feel comfortable in a conversation. Americans tend to truly take new people "in," even just for the moment. idk, I like it. I will say that even many Germans in my life comment on Austrians closed to new friendships, but I also think it comes from the fact that Austrians don't often travel for uni, so they come into college with a full circle from their high school and perhaps even a circle from their WG and accumulate friends at uni as they go, so it's really hard to be let in as someone outside of one of those three circles. Which is why, as you mentioned, studying is the way to go! My first two years in Austria, I had a lot of Austrian friends (love facebook groups!!), but never really felt like I was truly integrated - studying here changed that. Thank you for giving me some things to think on today x
I love your comments! Thanks for being here ^^ def no need to apologize. I think it’s really cool you’re experiencing the Austrian life as an American and that you can relate with the points I brought up! I was afraid to talk about the comments that I have found offensive but it was worth it when you said you agree with how I feel about it too. I’m glad I’m not alone on that. I so agree! American friendliness I think is something foreigners visiting the US fail to understand. I also like how the American friendliness is and if it’s just for a moment too, like you said. Glad you also agree with me about the studying in Germany part too! Interesting to learn some things about Austrians I didn’t know about before :) so thank you in return for the interesting thoughts to think about too :)
I’m an American male, YT had recommend you to me a while ago on your old channel. I thought your old name was cute. Good to see you’re back doing videos and doing well.
Been following your channel for years now... Seems like a lot of people have been leaving mean comments under your videos. So sorry... PS: I like the name Lila 😊
Thank you as always. If you find reading a grind, what German movies with German subtitles. It has an added bonus of seeing films you probably wouldn´t have otherwise.
As a multilingual German (how typical), I always was an intuitive learner. I didn't care too much for making mistakes and I learn by listening to native speakers and just speaking and asking people to correct me. All those grammar rules, I learned them at school but did not necessarily connect them to the things I said. So, when a teache asked me, which rules applied to a sentence I said, I usually cited the wrong one, driving him nuts. As long as you speak German, you'll improve. And don't worry too much about grammar or mistakes. Just enjoy it.
Lila, since you mentioned „Punting for the People“ in another comment, it would be very cool if you two could make a collab video once the Corona situation has finally settled. He also has a strong focus on learning the language and building a life in Germany and less about culture comparison, which kind of run its course by now.
Dear Lila, I’m happy you are back!I‘m one of the female subs. Being able to act logical does not conrodict being emotional. It is a matter of time and place.
Hi Lila, I really like the name Lamblike. For me, there's always some wolf in it - Wolf im Schafspelz. On the other hand, there is a nickname for me floating around that is easy to think of and spoken with no harm in mind, but I attach it to a very specific memory. I really get obsessive when this nickname comes up. I should be able to control how I'm addressed. A hard pill to swallow form some. So Lila it is, and Hi From Bremen. Thank you for your content, I really enjoy it.
Nice video :) I've just moved to Germany from Japan 🇯🇵 Living abroad is difficult, I totally understand. And... German guys are smart nice 👍 I agree, many skilled people are here. Although I have no idea how people are in US lols
I'm a German from America if always been So obsessed with German stuff I didn't understand why but now I do my ans-esters were from Germany in the 1800s I started to do research and found out about the visa and was so interested but I got to learn German if been studying Rammstion my favorite German rock ever sense I was a little boy everyone thought I was weird listening to feuer frei Du hast buck dich engel and eifersucht are all my favorites constantly reading watching WWII stuff my grandfather was in WWII he was a great man I loved him he was German to I grew up on Mac and cheese and ham I will live in Berlin 1 day I just know it
wow i found a video already that answered my question i asked a minute ago lela and hi from hamburg thanks good luck be careful wear a helmet if you get on a bike but walk its good for you its probably safe be careful anyway
The spelling reform was only in 1996. Before that one wrote "daß". It has to do with the fact that the FRG and GDR were unified in 1990. For a long time there was no agreement and wanted to keep the German script the same. Ultimately, all of Germany, Austria and Switzerland were able to agree. But in Switzerland you often write "ss" instead of "ß". But that creates problems "Buße" vs "Busse", "Maße" vs "Masse". Before that, there were simplifications in 1935, the long-s was abolished and it was changed to Latin script, previously Sütterlin or German script. Before that, the last reform was in 1901. In many words, the "th" became "t" because the "h" was not spoken. Therefore the word "Ton" has two meanings in German, there used to be "Ton" and "Thon" with diffrent meanings, but same spoken. But in words that concerned the emperor it stayed "Thron" .
You made me really sad :( Rumpsteak und Bratkartoffeln - haven't had that for a long time and now all the restaurants are closed 😭Good taste though! :D Anyway, I really like listening to you and learning about how it feels getting to know Germany and especially the Hamburg region (where I'm from as well). Thanks and all the best! 😊
Hi Lila, right before your video ended, Google displayed an advert for Heavy Metal Music. Because I knew that you like Techno (I think you already mentioned it in some older videos), will you charge Google for that ? :-) Kind Regards
Hey, I like your video! 20:22 I can't think of a saying that mentions kindness or niceness. There's "Reden ist Silber, Schweigen ist Gold." But that's not really very specific, not in any context regarding niceness or kindness. From my experience it's more used when someone has to keep information to themselves for either personal gain (hence the gold > silver) or in order to not look like a know-it-all.
Hi Lila, first thanks for the suggestion to thank for the content.. Thank you for posting the videos. Like them. I like to read the comments and sometimes i feel the need to leave something positive. (or to oppose something false ore rude in the comment section) Go ahead please.
After watching your first video in which you discus about Aldi and culture difference this is my second time on your channel well you ask about difference between Americans & Germans as far as i know Americans are really warmed welcome and friendly because im from Pakistan and in my country i saw from my childhood moving of Americans in there vacctions in summer and now im in Germany Berlin and i see many Germans as well but Germans are not as much friendly and not warmed welcome as Americans are Second thing is that if you are in trouble and any American around you so he or she must ask you are u ok or not but Germans are not like that i travel daily in public transport in Berlin and i saw Germans are just busy with them self even they do not talk with each other so in short i have to say i salute Americans for their kindness Thankyou
farewell lamblike, long live Lila :D (also the strong woman from futurama - i like it) elephant? i only know what sound a snake does in germany. it goes "ßßßßßßßßßßß" :DD
Your german is awsome=). Don‘t let anybody fool you. Your pronounciation is really good already and if you continue you will be very fluent in no time =). Btw I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up. Greetings from Frankfurt 🙌
Hey, I hope you get through the lockdown well and stay healthy. I think the saying "Wenn du nichts nettes zu sagen hast, sage nichts" gets erased from the brain as soon they open UA-cam or social Media in general :D It's not only the loud people beeing loud on social Media but also thw quiet ones^^ I have to learn to start comments with something nice too before I start my more objektive mode. It's not as easy as it might sound 🤣
That thing with the "ß" is actually very old, but some years ago there also was a big "Rechtschreibreform" and we got the "neue Rechtschreibung", wich basicly are new rules or changed rules for the gramar of the german language
Salut, Ich hoffe es dir gut!! Ich habe eine Frage,wenn du in Hamburg lebst Welchen Fußball Verein bevorzugt's du (HSV oder den Fc .St. Pauli)? Ich bin Hamburger!!!
Lila is a süß little alias. I like that name actually for a girl or daughter. Cool Q and A and to get to know you a little better. Also, nice Wäscherei there in the background. I like how many Germans have that in the kitchen. My biggest motivator right now in life, or at least one of them, but probably the biggest, is German. If I were to start relationship in Germany, it would be cool to try and get into generally a fully German speaking relationship.
Wow, half of your adult life spread out in front of us! Do you know Diana Verry (YT)? She's living in Berlin (hint) and for some 4 years right now. Her German has also not reached the perfect state. Or Dana (YT: Wanted Adventure) with a German husband? While her German is close to perfect she still has the American language in her mind. To each his/her own. I knew a Yugoslavian guy who worked for a German company in Germany for over 20 years. But he was still struggling with vocabulary. Any my English also sucks when I have to get deeper into subjects despite a time longer than you have lived I speak it. So to each his/her own. For learning a language nothing beats using it. But you know that already.
Welcome back, girl! :) Nice to see you again. I've changed my channel name since the olden days as well, so can relate. You being sick and tired of WW2 topics sounds like me and the Beatles - they're still a huge name among music nerds, but I feel I had more than my share in 7th grade. Anyway, you might still learn something new from this chap named Mark Felton on here, a historian who has a knack for digging out obscure wartime (and occasionally, colds war era) stories and bringing them back to life. I never realized you had an actual learning disability - it's not like you absolutely need one to struggle with some things. Makes sense now. You're one of these people who have to find their own way around learning then. I have one colleague who at one point found he learns best by listening, so he's into audiobooks. Another guy I once came across was a good speaker and quite smart actually, he just had to work around his lysdexia, err, dyslexia that would be giving him a hard time now and then but with the help of computers he generally managed. I think everyone's favorite UA-cam small engine mechanic @Mustie1 may be a similar case, super handy but not necessarily academic in the traditional sense. And this possibly brings us to viewership statistics. These might be a combination of two several: 1. UA-cam audiences tend to be male-dominated to begin with. I guess that's because a lot of them are visual learners. I don't mind reading in the least, but as they say, a picture says more than a thousand words. I've learned so much about cars on here alone. (I probably wouldn't be reading my own homepage these days, it's text till the cows come home. Sad, I know. :( Unfortunately I totally suck at anything visual media, my image editing skills are basically stuck in 1997. I guess some people would never be the ones for a blog, and others aren't naturals at video.) And a lot of guys _aren't_ necessarily on speaking terms with books. (If you've ever seen someone out in public with a book, chances are it was a female.) Fun fact: Mom used to say that Dad gets his education from TV. Guess I'm the same with YT then. ;) 2. Germans have a level of self-awareness brought about by our unfortunate past and how we dealt with it. Besides, not being a superpower brings along more incentive to be looking _über den Tellerrand_ as we like to say. (That said, the most "internationally-minded" people I know would probably have to be the Dutch.) 3. There always are plenty of things you don't even know about your own country. There are lots of different more or less isolated groups of people around. I'm sure this is even more pronounced in the US. It's funny that you think these cultural difference videos are ultimately boring, too. Yeah, they're kind of bread and butter content for "X in Y" type channels. Best taken in small doses, I guess, and quality is definitely going to vary. Otto is not necessarily my cup of tea either, but you do know that YT has a playback speed setting, right?! It doesn't necessarily sound pretty but works well enough for speech. I'm generally on 1.75X, practice makes perfect and my time isn't growing on trees. (Says the one typing a YT comment for nigh on 2 hours. _Priorities,_ man.) Speaking of people from that corner of the country, maybe you'll like Germany's arguably most American-influenced YT car channel @Max Speedshop. Great guy and community, a bit chaotic and eccentric for sure but about as honest and straight-laced as they come. I think he likes quite a few of the usual suspects, from @Hoovie's Garage and @WatchJRGo to @Junkyard Digs, and maybe @HubNut as well. Even if you never made it to Australia, the good thing is you can still enjoy at least some of the output of their excellent music scene right here. (Try that with Japan.) Now 2020 was a bit of a bummer year I thought (wasn't it for all of us?), but 2019's output was HOT.
Hello Lila, after a short vocal ß is replaced by ss. But the there was no captal ß though. It got introduces a few years ago. Until the fonts hava this glyph (form of characters) and the people use it, chances are that the ß will be gone someday. Especially since Switzerland doesn´t no it at all. Greetings and Best Wishes
Hi Lila So you have a learning disability and you've managed to learn German. I have dyslexia and I'm Welsh living in Bonn and I've been trying to learn German for a few years now. So I'm extremely interested in how someone else with a learning disability has managed to learn German. Have you already talked about your learning disability in previous videos and exactly that your learning disability is? Is it dyslexia? In general education as well as specifically learning German, have you found that you learn differently from others and use other methods of learning specific to your learning disability? I am 46 years old so when I want to school in the UK they didn't provide any help for children with dyslexia. When I was 18 the UK government had changed it's mind and started to provide help for dyslexia. When I start university and I got money from the government to help with my dyslexia but there was no where to spend the money, there was one school specific for children with dyslexia who were 5-11 years old. But I was 18 and just starting a degree in mathematics. So I went there once and talked to the woman, and she mentioned that there was a few techniques for learning specific for people with dyslexia. That was it, so I have never had any help for my dyslexia by anyone who knows anything about dyslexia. I did have extra lessons when I was a child from the teachers, however teachers in the UK have a qualification called a PGCE which does not contain any information about any learning disability. Which is the same in Germany, teachers in Germany don't get any training about learn disabilities unless they specialize in learn disabilities. In theory I should see a specialist in dyslexia but there is a fat chance in hell of ever being able to find that help. It's difficult enough to find a specialist in dyslexia. You get teachers who are qualified as teachers who's qualification contains no information about any learning disability. But then there is the fact that I'm an adult and teachers for adults learning languages have a qualification that is just a fraction of what a teacher for children would have. So then you have the specialists in dyslexia, who only deal with children, nice for the children, but no use for me. So dyslexia specialists also don't teach German to adults. Right now I don't have an income so I'm not going to pay for any specialist. So I'm always interested to hear what other people who have learning disabilities have done to learn.
Pancreatic cancer has a 5 year survival rate of less than 10 percent. I'm sorry for your loss - the time we have to be together is eytremely short; it (Time) is the most precious thing. And Old Time is still a-flying... I follow your way for quite a long time - I am also living in HH and my father comes from Oldenburg. It is amazing and touching how many expats have the courage to go out of their comfort zone - like you. All the best for your future!
Thank you for your very nice comment. Yes I’m aware of those stats. I hoped someone might read the symptoms of it because if I could’ve had my grandma for another 5 years that would’ve been amazing. Nobody recognized the symptoms (the extremely itchy skin for example) so I will make a video about this in the future. I think if caught in the first stage... anyways. Thank you for your comment. All the best to you too :)
lol People told you to speak german in private? I love how People think they have to jump into other peoples business.... I think even if my american GF would learn German, we would still continue speak english, it helps me getting better with it aswell. :D
I like Lila alot more than Lamblike... and I am not even talking about the name but the person you have become. I admit, I belong to the 95% of male Germans that at some point started to watch your channel simply because you are so pretty... but I stayed because I thought that you offer much more than the typical other „American in Germany“ channels... oh btw, I can absolutely identify with two things you mentioned in this video: I absolutely hated my school experience and it put me in a shell for a long time... once I started studying at the university, I also came out of my shell and started dancing on tables every weekend.... keep dancing as long as you want, well at least once that is possible again :)
hehe thanks. I didn’t graduate though, I quit after one year :) so I don’t have a masters. but I can be proud that a masters degree program accepted me :)
Most german females are not interested in global awareness and what people from long distance are thinking an not in politics. Women in germany are more interested in local topics or topics more directly linked to them.
Hey Lila, I had watched some of your old videos and liked parts of it. After watching three of your newer videos, I have to say that I like them much better in every respect. You have really improved in regards to structure and set up. I also like that you seem to be a bit more opinionated. In the past, I sometimes felt you held back and I think your candor in the newer videos makes them better. I rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but a few things you mentioned really caught my attention. 1. I am a German male (I guess I fit in the analytics 😅) and work a lot with people from all over the world, including a lot of Americans. I personally think cultural differences are quite interesting and can be very useful when you know very little about the other country/culture. However, I agree with you that these observations often lead to over-generalizations and tend to become somewhat repetitive and boring. In the end, each and every individual is different. 2. You mentioned that most of your viewers (and those of other creators with similar content) are German male. Do you have any ideas why that is? One could argue that most of the creators that make similar content and have lots of followers are female and I am sure there is a connection there. But personally I also watch quite a few male creators with similar content. So there seems to be more to it. Any theories? 3. Another question I had when you mentioned you don't like "cultural differences" as a topic, was what you consider to be interesting topics for your channel. Please feel free to reply or not reply to any questions I had and please use as much detail as you are comfortable with. All the best from Southern Germany!

Hi lamblike
Keep your head up and be proud of everything you have accomplished , you have done great up to now. Bleib wie du bist 👍
Deine Videos sind richtig cool und ich freue mich jedesmal wenn du ein neues Videos veröffentlichst!! Du machst das sehr gut, mach weiter so😉👍😘
Just wanted to say: Dont let the negativity of some people get to you.
I really like your content and I do appreciate the effort you put into your videos! Thanks!
Sorry for your loss, Lila. Thank you for posting your wonderful videos -- they are super helpful as a fellow American potentially moving to Germany. Hope you are well and staying safe!! :)
Thank you. Means a lot. :) wish you a great future move to Germany. I’ll try to think of more tips I can give others in the future videos :)
Thanks a lot, once again, Lila. Half an hour of entertainment making me forget this crazy world. So much fun, to see you grow and grow. Keep going!
You have really grown to be much more outgoing and self-confident, less prone to apologizing for stuff - I like that; I guess you're on a good way.
Thanks for your video! We Germans have a special culture and I can understand that we Germans are not always considered friendly or helpful. We have more of a reserved culture ("If you need help, feel free to get in touch!") and are less likely to approach people directly and small talk (especially here in Northern Germany) is rather rare. I myself react surprised and reserved when strangers approach me just like that, typical German 😑🤣 And I have the highest respect for foreigners learning German - such a difficult language! Even I, as a North German, make mistakes all the time and check every e-mail at work three times to make sure that everything is grammatically correct 🤣 And I have total incomprehension for the fact that you are then criticized for not speaking German fluently or making mistakes instead of being happy that the language is being learned and respect is shown for it.
I've seen people with learning disabilities struggle for support in college and I really don't think that's okay. My niece has a learning disability herself and we as a family had to fight like lions with all the authorities until she received the school support that is best for her development. Germany has a lot of catching up to do here!
The gripe culture of the Germans, the eternal criticizing and complaining about all sorts of things also gets on my nerves and I'm also of the opinion that you should keep your mouth shut if you have nothing meaningful to say (I think this is where my German directness comes out again in the statement). Bleib wie du bist! 😎
So glad to see you back on youtube. I've been watching you for several years over several accounts. You have grown so much over the years. Glad to see your happy and living your best life.
Excited for your re-branding and all the videos to come 🥰
Thank you so much! ☺️ I look forward to the new content in the future to share with you all :)
I'm sorry that so many people believe they know better and tell you to do things differently. I'm glad you're direct about these issues though
4:35 your example for the B1 Test. It’s really difficult! I‘m a native speaker but i really had to think about some right answers....
I find the name change for the said reasons absolutely understandable. That sucks in the long run. Just like having to hear from someone else how to speak in which language with your friends. I like the confidence you talk to. Keep it up.
After watching different videos made by Americans in Germany I certainly liked yours the most. Ah wait, beside NALF. Both of you are a real pleasure to watch.
I especially appreciate your direct and honest approach to subjects. Well, that's probable the Germany in myself speaking.
Keep up the great job you're doing and vielen Dank.
I think it was good step to change the channels name, for me lamblike was a quite shy and quiet girl/woman but you're speaking louder, you evolved in audio quality and self-confidence so the old name wasn't fitting anymore to the person in the video. Hi from Hamburg on the other side fits very well I think so good job and good video.
Deinen Channel gerade gefunden, fand den Bericht über die Krankenversicherung sehr interessant. Hope you enjoy your stay here, stay healthy. All the best from Hamburg.
You motivate me to learn German. I also have a hard time with learning things. keep up with the videos!
Thank you! 😁
Sehr interessantes Video! :)
Bleib gesund!
PS: Danke für die Zeitstempel. ^.^
Lila, good job being direct. Germans need that approach.
I love how honest and direct you are here!
Yeah, seems she's pretty germanised by now :D
I fell in love with Berlin too and then went to Hamburg and liked it VERY much too.
So a good choice.
Good luck to you.
Gut, dass Du wieder da bist! Grüße aus Köln. Micha
Ride on, Lila! Great video as always..du machst das sehr gut, schaue den Kanal auch schon seit Jahren. Weiter so!
so nice and honest
Thank you LiLa for your content and to get a partview of your personality and your steps from 2016 until now :) Best wishes for you two. Greetz!
We all love you, Lila. We also appreciate the work you put into editting your videos. The lighting is perfect, by the way, even though the sun is down, your face and personality are as beautiful as the sun. 🔆
Hey, just found your channel. I love your story and how you came to be in Germany. It sounds like you worked really hard to adapt to the German lifestyle and everything that comes with it. I can even hear a little bit of a German accent in your voice as well, which is awesome. I've heard of Americans who have lived in Germany FOR EVER and still haven't found their German tongue.
I myself am half German and have been raised bi-culturally in the US. You've re-invigorated my drive to some day make that big 1-way trip to Germany some day soon.
Thanks for the video and the explanations.
btw, the change of name is absolutely justified.
Hallo Lila. :)
Ich habe Deine vorherigen Videos hin und wieder angeschaut und fand deshalb dieses hier auch wieder interessant. Die dramatischen Geschichten, wie jemand sich zwischen zwei Leben in zwei Ländern entscheiden muss, sind immer sehr fesselnd!
Ja, ich bin auch „ein German male“, und heute habe ich erfahren, daß Du keine Hundetrainerin wirst. ;)
schüß Lamblike!
Hello Lila, herzlich willkommen!
Thx für die interessanten Infos von dir!
Grüße aus Stormarn
thank you so much. I really appreciate that!
@Hi From Hamburg Dafür nich.. Wie man in Hamburg sacht! Nütz jo nix! Lch!
Have a nice Sunday Deern!
@Hi From Hamburg Ps: Vor 2 Years bist du so schüchtern herübergekommen. Jetzt strahlst du Selbstbewußsein aus!
Ich mag deine Voice sehr, Lila. Aber ist es möglich, dass du etwas langsamer sprichst? Manchmal komme ich mit meinem bad English nicht hinterher. XD
Nice Sunday, freue mich schon auf dein next Video!

"Versuch es mal mit langsamer Wiedergabe!", klappt damit ganz gut, ist aber auch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig...

@YT-Viewer from GER Thx für den Tipp. Kannst du, genau wie LILA natürlich nicht wissen: Ich bind blind, arbeite hier mit 'VOICE OVER' auf dem APFELTELEFON' und einer Braillezeile. Damit funktionieren nicht alle 'Knöpfe'. Ist, z. B. ein Komment lang, kann ich um Antworten vorlesen zu lassen manchmal mit 'Trick 17 rein. Oft aber bekomme ich die Antwortleiste gar nicht auf.
trotzdem danke für den Tipp! Bleib negativ, denk weiter positiv! Ben
If you need a job in Hamburg, try the shipping industry no matter what you studied!
You are such a good girl! Really lovely and familiar. I`m proud at your efforts and appreciate the entertainment on your channel!
"Kässpätzle" is the real Mac and Cheese in Germany from the south. It´s without Ham or Bacon but with melted Onions, so good. omg
I know :) that is good. But in the video I was referring to an American style Mac n cheese that Rewe sells (Not Käsesatzle)
@Arno Dobler Moin Arno, geht nix über ein Hamburger Matjesbrötchen! Oder eine Scheibe Schwarzbrot mit Butter, frischen Krabben und dazu ein kaltes FLENS!

Okay, I know I am all over your IG/YT and I apologize for that - I just relate to your content a lot and really enjoy it!
I appreciate you mentioning the thing about American friends - I get that a lot and I can find it hurtful: some of my deepest connections come from my friends in the states. Austrian openness also defies many stereotypes, so I appreciate your comments pushing back on generalizations across both channels! (Though I will say... Austrians tend to bring up fast food or obesity within 90(ish) seconds of meeting me, which is frustrating). I think many people confuse the American friendliness and "yeah, come over any time!" with superficiality, when it's honestly just a way that many Americans try to make someone new feel comfortable in a conversation. Americans tend to truly take new people "in," even just for the moment. idk, I like it.
I will say that even many Germans in my life comment on Austrians closed to new friendships, but I also think it comes from the fact that Austrians don't often travel for uni, so they come into college with a full circle from their high school and perhaps even a circle from their WG and accumulate friends at uni as they go, so it's really hard to be let in as someone outside of one of those three circles. Which is why, as you mentioned, studying is the way to go! My first two years in Austria, I had a lot of Austrian friends (love facebook groups!!), but never really felt like I was truly integrated - studying here changed that.
Thank you for giving me some things to think on today x
I love your comments! Thanks for being here ^^ def no need to apologize. I think it’s really cool you’re experiencing the Austrian life as an American and that you can relate with the points I brought up! I was afraid to talk about the comments that I have found offensive but it was worth it when you said you agree with how I feel about it too. I’m glad I’m not alone on that. I so agree! American friendliness I think is something foreigners visiting the US fail to understand. I also like how the American friendliness is and if it’s just for a moment too, like you said. Glad you also agree with me about the studying in Germany part too! Interesting to learn some things about Austrians I didn’t know about before :) so thank you in return for the interesting thoughts to think about too :)
Great video! I really appreciate your work. Keep it up. Greetings from Düsseldorf :)
I love the directness, it reminds me of my dad 😂
Danke für dieses schöne Video !!!!
I’m an American male, YT had recommend you to me a while ago on your old channel. I thought your old name was cute. Good to see you’re back doing videos and doing well.
Thanks for the video. Keep it on. :)
Hi from Ffm.
Even being born in germany humor is the last thing you will learn. 😂
Been following your channel for years now...
Seems like a lot of people have been leaving mean comments under your videos. So sorry...
PS: I like the name Lila 😊
Or Leela... it reminds me of a tough woman from Futurama ;-)
Kudos for changing to a name you prefer.
People change and viewers adapt automatically. ;)
Hamburg is lovely.
Thank you as always. If you find reading a grind, what German movies with German subtitles. It has an added bonus of seeing films you probably wouldn´t have otherwise.
Hi Lila - Greetings from NRW!
Thank you so much :') Greetings back to you!
As a multilingual German (how typical), I always was an intuitive learner. I didn't care too much for making mistakes and I learn by listening to native speakers and just speaking and asking people to correct me. All those grammar rules, I learned them at school but did not necessarily connect them to the things I said. So, when a teache asked me, which rules applied to a sentence I said, I usually cited the wrong one, driving him nuts.
As long as you speak German, you'll improve. And don't worry too much about grammar or mistakes. Just enjoy it.
Lila, since you mentioned „Punting for the People“ in another comment, it would be very cool if you two could make a collab video once the Corona situation has finally settled. He also has a strong focus on learning the language and building a life in Germany and less about culture comparison, which kind of run its course by now.
Hi Lila, thanks for answering my question. If you have the chance you really should visit Austria once or Vienna. You´ll love it. :-)
Dear Lila, I’m happy you are back!I‘m one of the female subs. Being able to act logical does not conrodict being emotional. It is a matter of time and place.
Hi I love my female subs! Thanks for the comment. And you’re totally right. That’s a good point :)
Kick out the past, say hello to the future. Greetings from Germany.
Hi Lila,
I really like the name Lamblike. For me, there's always some wolf in it - Wolf im Schafspelz.
On the other hand, there is a nickname for me floating around that is easy to think of and spoken with no harm in mind, but I attach it to a very specific memory. I really get obsessive when this nickname comes up. I should be able to control how I'm addressed. A hard pill to swallow form some.
So Lila it is, and Hi From Bremen.
Thank you for your content, I really enjoy it.
Nice video :)
I've just moved to Germany from Japan 🇯🇵
Living abroad is difficult, I totally understand. And... German guys are smart nice 👍
I agree, many skilled people are here. Although I have no idea how people are in US lols
Also!! I think its funny how much I can relate with you!
I'm a German from America if always been So obsessed with German stuff I didn't understand why but now I do my ans-esters were from Germany in the 1800s I started to do research and found out about the visa and was so interested but I got to learn German if been studying Rammstion my favorite German rock ever sense I was a little boy everyone thought I was weird listening to feuer frei Du hast buck dich engel and eifersucht are all my favorites constantly reading watching WWII stuff my grandfather was in WWII he was a great man I loved him he was German to I grew up on Mac and cheese and ham I will live in Berlin 1 day I just know it
Lamblike sounds cute, so it fitted quite well - you are cute.
wow i found a video already that answered my question i asked a minute ago lela and hi from hamburg thanks good luck be careful wear a helmet if you get on a bike but walk its good for you its probably safe be careful anyway
The spelling reform was only in 1996. Before that one wrote "daß".
It has to do with the fact that the FRG and GDR were unified in 1990. For a long time there was no agreement and wanted to keep the German script the same.
Ultimately, all of Germany, Austria and Switzerland were able to agree. But in Switzerland you often write "ss" instead of "ß". But that creates problems "Buße" vs "Busse", "Maße" vs "Masse".
Before that, there were simplifications in 1935, the long-s was abolished and it was changed to Latin script, previously Sütterlin or German script.
Before that, the last reform was in 1901. In many words, the "th" became "t" because the "h" was not spoken.
Therefore the word "Ton" has two meanings in German, there used to be "Ton" and "Thon" with diffrent meanings, but same spoken.
But in words that concerned the emperor it stayed "Thron" .
You made me really sad :( Rumpsteak und Bratkartoffeln - haven't had that for a long time and now all the restaurants are closed 😭Good taste though! :D Anyway, I really like listening to you and learning about how it feels getting to know Germany and especially the Hamburg region (where I'm from as well). Thanks and all the best! 😊
I'm a german speaking male (from italy); Ich spreche 4 Sprachen mehr oder wenig gut (Deutsch C2) italienisch (C1), englisch (b2) und Spanisch (A2)
Hi Lila,
right before your video ended, Google displayed an advert for Heavy Metal Music. Because I knew that you like Techno (I think you already mentioned it in some older videos), will you charge Google for that ? :-)
Kind Regards
im from hamburg so hi from hamburg to you :)
Hey, I like your video! 20:22 I can't think of a saying that mentions kindness or niceness. There's "Reden ist Silber, Schweigen ist Gold." But that's not really very specific, not in any context regarding niceness or kindness. From my experience it's more used when someone has to keep information to themselves for either personal gain (hence the gold > silver) or in order to not look like a know-it-all.
Hi, try the Goethe Institut, because it´s recognised all over Germany.

Hi Lila, first thanks for the suggestion to thank for the content.. Thank you for posting the videos. Like them. I like to read the comments and sometimes i feel the need to leave something positive. (or to oppose something false ore rude in the comment section)
Go ahead please.
After watching your first video in which you discus about Aldi and culture difference this is my second time on your channel well you ask about difference between Americans & Germans as far as i know Americans are really warmed welcome and friendly because im from Pakistan and in my country i saw from my childhood moving of Americans in there vacctions in summer and now im in Germany Berlin and i see many Germans as well but Germans are not as much friendly and not warmed welcome as Americans are
Second thing is that if you are in trouble and any American around you so he or she must ask you are u ok or not but Germans are not like that i travel daily in public transport in Berlin and i saw Germans are just busy with them self even they do not talk with each other so in short i have to say i salute Americans for their kindness
Thankyou
farewell lamblike, long live Lila :D (also the strong woman from futurama - i like it)
elephant? i only know what sound a snake does in germany. it goes "ßßßßßßßßßßß" :DD
Your german is awsome=). Don‘t let anybody fool you. Your pronounciation is really good already and if you continue you will be very fluent in no time =). Btw I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up. Greetings from Frankfurt 🙌
Hey, I hope you get through the lockdown well and stay healthy.
I think the saying "Wenn du nichts nettes zu sagen hast, sage nichts"
gets erased from the brain as soon they open UA-cam or social Media in general :D
It's not only the loud people beeing loud on social Media but also thw quiet ones^^
I have to learn to start comments with something nice too before I start my more objektive mode. It's not as easy as it might sound 🤣
That thing with the "ß" is actually very old, but some years ago there also was a big "Rechtschreibreform" and we got the "neue Rechtschreibung", wich basicly are new rules or changed rules for the gramar of the german language
Salut, Ich hoffe es dir gut!! Ich habe eine Frage,wenn du in Hamburg lebst Welchen Fußball Verein bevorzugt's du (HSV oder den Fc .St. Pauli)? Ich bin Hamburger!!!
Lila is a süß little alias. I like that name actually for a girl or daughter. Cool Q and A and to get to know you a little better. Also, nice Wäscherei there in the background. I like how many Germans have that in the kitchen. My biggest motivator right now in life, or at least one of them, but probably the biggest, is German. If I were to start relationship in Germany, it would be cool to try and get into generally a fully German speaking relationship.
Hi from Schanzenviertel!! From a fellow Ami...
Hello,I want to know how much quarantine in germany?
Wow, half of your adult life spread out in front of us! Do you know Diana Verry (YT)? She's living in Berlin (hint) and for some 4 years right now. Her German has also not reached the perfect state. Or Dana (YT: Wanted Adventure) with a German husband? While her German is close to perfect she still has the American language in her mind. To each his/her own. I knew a Yugoslavian guy who worked for a German company in Germany for over 20 years. But he was still struggling with vocabulary. Any my English also sucks when I have to get deeper into subjects despite a time longer than you have lived I speak it. So to each his/her own. For learning a language nothing beats using it. But you know that already.
oh i wish you would do a video while you are in california Q_Q i think that is also interesting for german viewers :)
Welcome back, girl! :) Nice to see you again. I've changed my channel name since the olden days as well, so can relate.
You being sick and tired of WW2 topics sounds like me and the Beatles - they're still a huge name among music nerds, but I feel I had more than my share in 7th grade. Anyway, you might still learn something new from this chap named Mark Felton on here, a historian who has a knack for digging out obscure wartime (and occasionally, colds war era) stories and bringing them back to life.
I never realized you had an actual learning disability - it's not like you absolutely need one to struggle with some things. Makes sense now. You're one of these people who have to find their own way around learning then. I have one colleague who at one point found he learns best by listening, so he's into audiobooks. Another guy I once came across was a good speaker and quite smart actually, he just had to work around his lysdexia, err, dyslexia that would be giving him a hard time now and then but with the help of computers he generally managed. I think everyone's favorite UA-cam small engine mechanic @Mustie1 may be a similar case, super handy but not necessarily academic in the traditional sense.
And this possibly brings us to viewership statistics. These might be a combination of two several:
1. UA-cam audiences tend to be male-dominated to begin with. I guess that's because a lot of them are visual learners. I don't mind reading in the least, but as they say, a picture says more than a thousand words. I've learned so much about cars on here alone. (I probably wouldn't be reading my own homepage these days, it's text till the cows come home. Sad, I know. :( Unfortunately I totally suck at anything visual media, my image editing skills are basically stuck in 1997. I guess some people would never be the ones for a blog, and others aren't naturals at video.) And a lot of guys _aren't_ necessarily on speaking terms with books. (If you've ever seen someone out in public with a book, chances are it was a female.)
Fun fact: Mom used to say that Dad gets his education from TV. Guess I'm the same with YT then. ;)
2. Germans have a level of self-awareness brought about by our unfortunate past and how we dealt with it. Besides, not being a superpower brings along more incentive to be looking _über den Tellerrand_ as we like to say. (That said, the most "internationally-minded" people I know would probably have to be the Dutch.)
3. There always are plenty of things you don't even know about your own country. There are lots of different more or less isolated groups of people around. I'm sure this is even more pronounced in the US.
It's funny that you think these cultural difference videos are ultimately boring, too. Yeah, they're kind of bread and butter content for "X in Y" type channels. Best taken in small doses, I guess, and quality is definitely going to vary.
Otto is not necessarily my cup of tea either, but you do know that YT has a playback speed setting, right?! It doesn't necessarily sound pretty but works well enough for speech. I'm generally on 1.75X, practice makes perfect and my time isn't growing on trees. (Says the one typing a YT comment for nigh on 2 hours. _Priorities,_ man.)
Speaking of people from that corner of the country, maybe you'll like Germany's arguably most American-influenced YT car channel @Max Speedshop. Great guy and community, a bit chaotic and eccentric for sure but about as honest and straight-laced as they come. I think he likes quite a few of the usual suspects, from @Hoovie's Garage and @WatchJRGo to @Junkyard Digs, and maybe @HubNut as well.
Even if you never made it to Australia, the good thing is you can still enjoy at least some of the output of their excellent music scene right here. (Try that with Japan.) Now 2020 was a bit of a bummer year I thought (wasn't it for all of us?), but 2019's output was HOT.

Took me a while to realize Lila is an actual name as Lila is German for purple. hihi
Ya either or, I like Lila as the color and also the name so it’s ok if someone doesn’t know it’s an American name :)
Hello Lila, after a short vocal ß is replaced by ss. But the there was no captal ß though. It got introduces a few years ago. Until the fonts hava this glyph (form of characters) and the people use it, chances are that the ß will be gone someday. Especially since Switzerland doesn´t no it at all. Greetings and Best Wishes
Hi Lila
So you have a learning disability and you've managed to learn German.
I have dyslexia and I'm Welsh living in Bonn and I've been trying to learn German for a few years now. So I'm extremely interested in how someone else with a learning disability has managed to learn German.
Have you already talked about your learning disability in previous videos and exactly that your learning disability is? Is it dyslexia?
In general education as well as specifically learning German, have you found that you learn differently from others and use other methods of learning specific to your learning disability?
I am 46 years old so when I want to school in the UK they didn't provide any help for children with dyslexia. When I was 18 the UK government had changed it's mind and started to provide help for dyslexia. When I start university and I got money from the government to help with my dyslexia but there was no where to spend the money, there was one school specific for children with dyslexia who were 5-11 years old. But I was 18 and just starting a degree in mathematics. So I went there once and talked to the woman, and she mentioned that there was a few techniques for learning specific for people with dyslexia. That was it, so I have never had any help for my dyslexia by anyone who knows anything about dyslexia. I did have extra lessons when I was a child from the teachers, however teachers in the UK have a qualification called a PGCE which does not contain any information about any learning disability. Which is the same in Germany, teachers in Germany don't get any training about learn disabilities unless they specialize in learn disabilities.
In theory I should see a specialist in dyslexia but there is a fat chance in hell of ever being able to find that help. It's difficult enough to find a specialist in dyslexia. You get teachers who are qualified as teachers who's qualification contains no information about any learning disability. But then there is the fact that I'm an adult and teachers for adults learning languages have a qualification that is just a fraction of what a teacher for children would have. So then you have the specialists in dyslexia, who only deal with children, nice for the children, but no use for me. So dyslexia specialists also don't teach German to adults.
Right now I don't have an income so I'm not going to pay for any specialist.
So I'm always interested to hear what other people who have learning disabilities have done to learn.
Hello) Could you share your gramma paper with German "endings" please?
What do you think about weather in hamburg?😄
Pancreatic cancer has a 5 year survival rate of less than 10 percent. I'm sorry for your loss - the time we have to be together is eytremely short; it (Time) is the most precious thing. And Old Time is still a-flying...
I follow your way for quite a long time - I am also living in HH and my father comes from Oldenburg. It is amazing and touching how many expats have the courage to go out of their comfort zone - like you. All the best for your future!
Thank you for your very nice comment. Yes I’m aware of those stats. I hoped someone might read the symptoms of it because if I could’ve had my grandma for another 5 years that would’ve been amazing. Nobody recognized the symptoms (the extremely itchy skin for example) so I will make a video about this in the future. I think if caught in the first stage... anyways. Thank you for your comment. All the best to you too :)
I study psychology too. forensic psychology specifically.
What could it be that so many German male watch an American female ? Wasn`t there something with the honey and the bee ?
lol People told you to speak german in private? I love how People think they have to jump into other peoples business....
I think even if my american GF would learn German, we would still continue speak english, it helps me getting better with it aswell. :D
Grüße aus Kempten (Allgäu) !
I like your videos🤗
I like Lila alot more than Lamblike... and I am not even talking about the name but the person you have become. I admit, I belong to the 95% of male Germans that at some point started to watch your channel simply because you are so pretty... but I stayed because I thought that you offer much more than the typical other „American in Germany“ channels... oh btw, I can absolutely identify with two things you mentioned in this video: I absolutely hated my school experience and it put me in a shell for a long time... once I started studying at the university, I also came out of my shell and started dancing on tables every weekend.... keep dancing as long as you want, well at least once that is possible again :)
Master's degree with a learning disability... You have a big reason to be proud of yourself!
hehe thanks. I didn’t graduate though, I quit after one year :) so I don’t have a masters. but I can be proud that a masters degree program accepted me :)
Vielen Dank für das Video, Lila. Such mal nach Heinz Erhardt, Humor aus den 60ern. Vielleicht gefällt dir so etwas.
Most german females are not interested in global awareness and what people from long distance are thinking an not in politics. Women in germany are more interested in local topics or topics more directly linked to them.
welcome to germany , your very welcome :)
One day you might wake up in the morning and you remember that the dream you had was in german. That will be the day that you realy arrived. ;-)
Hey Lila, I had watched some of your old videos and liked parts of it. After watching three of your newer videos, I have to say that I like them much better in every respect. You have really improved in regards to structure and set up. I also like that you seem to be a bit more opinionated. In the past, I sometimes felt you held back and I think your candor in the newer videos makes them better.
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but a few things you mentioned really caught my attention.
1. I am a German male (I guess I fit in the analytics 😅) and work a lot with people from all over the world, including a lot of Americans. I personally think cultural differences are quite interesting and can be very useful when you know very little about the other country/culture. However, I agree with you that these observations often lead to over-generalizations and tend to become somewhat repetitive and boring. In the end, each and every individual is different.
2. You mentioned that most of your viewers (and those of other creators with similar content) are German male. Do you have any ideas why that is? One could argue that most of the creators that make similar content and have lots of followers are female and I am sure there is a connection there. But personally I also watch quite a few male creators with similar content. So there seems to be more to it. Any theories?
3. Another question I had when you mentioned you don't like "cultural differences" as a topic, was what you consider to be interesting topics for your channel.
Please feel free to reply or not reply to any questions I had and please use as much detail as you are comfortable with.
All the best from Southern Germany!
Can a psychologist be their own therapist (if need be)?
Surely not. The whole point in therapy is that another person brings in an external point of view....
I never really thought of you as weak. Lila is a great name though and you should be proud to have it!
