ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 27, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other experiences that I have made during my time in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

Feli, you are absolutely adorable. My impression of you is that you are very clever and ingenious ideas as an entrepreneur on RU-vid. I love your overall vision for your channel. Great job! I lived and studied in Germany and loved it. I am amazed how well you have adjusted and settled in comfortably. Best wishes to you.

@johnnguyen1250 3 года назад

It's kinda funny. I don't remember how long I've been watching your channel Feli. It seems like I've always known you haha. I'm in my 70's and lived in Germany for only one year while I was in the USAF. I can relate to a lot of what you discuss about cultural differences. I loved Germany and even some of the rude customer service I got at the "Train Station!" I love how you present yourself and all the work you put into your videos. This video presented no surprises to me because you have mostly discussed the topics over time. But, if you are not, I think you would make a perfect spy! That smile would open doors anywhere.

@princesspearlthumb 3 года назад

Regarding forgetting words in your native language: That happens to me regularly, and I do not consider myself bilingual/multilingual at all, just enjoy studying languages. I am often searching desperately for a word in English (my native language) and cannot think of them when needed. So, definitely don’t feel badly about that happening to you! It’s frustrating when it happens, but I think it’s simply part of being human. We cannot be ON all the time. We are not PERFEKT.

@guidofietz 2 года назад

zwischen 2 Sprachen hat mich an meine Mutter erinnert: die war nach dem Krieg Witwe mit 2 Kindern und hat ab Ende der 40er / Anfang der 50er in einem britischen Büro gearbeitet, als einzige Deutsche, also den ganzen Tag Englisch geredet. Wenn sie dann nach der Arbeit noch eingekauft hat ist es ihr passiert, dass es ihr auf englisch rausgerutscht ist - was sie spätestens an der Reaktion der Verkäufer*innen bemerkt hat und am liebsten im Boden versunken wäre! Sie hat dann versucht meine Schwester und mich bilingual zu erziehen - Mittwoch war zuhause unser Englischtag - ich habe keinen Tag so wenig geredet wie Mittwochs. Obwohl ich damals ganz gut Englisch konnte - kein Wunder - bevor ich in die Schule kam, war "unser" Haus das einzige deutsche in der Straße, alle anderen britisch, aber auch belgisch, canadisch und was es alles gab, selbst Russen, aber die nicht in unserer Straße.

Haha, same. I don't consider myself fully fluent in more than just english (my native language), but living in different countries and trying to learn different languages for practical reasons and for fun, I even sometime am trying to think of a word in one language and end up thinking of the word in 3 other languages first. 😅

As a Mexican, I promise you, the “Mexican food” of Ohio is just as authentic as the Mexican food of Germany.

@rawwbnoles4787 3 года назад

I live in Florida where we have a very large Mexican community. My Mexican brothers and sisters tell me our Mexican cuisine restaurants, especially the locally owned Mom and Pops joints, are pretty authentic to the real thing. Which is great for me because I'm a fat man and I absolutely love it! Although it may not be 100% authentic, bro, a good fish taco with some red cabbage and salsa. It's one of the best things in life.

@Mulambdaline1 3 года назад

@@rawwbnoles4787 yes the mom and pop are usually the most authentic. A good clue if the restaurant starts with the word “Taqueria.” I’ve never been to Ohio but I don’t think there is a huge Mexican population there, so the odds of the food being authentic, is hard to believe. I’m glad you and many others enjoy eating Mexican food!

She lived through the Berlin Airlift.

@markmiller9838 Год назад

Hi Feli; I've been enjoying your videos greatly since "meeting you" and subscribing about a year ago. I have one small correction I would like to point out that I heard you say on this video. It has to with "wait ON' and 'wait FOR". Waiters and waitresses (servers) wait ON people. People wait FOR something to happen. I can understand how it might be difficult for non-English speakers to learn this or remember it as it seems that MOST Americans don't know the difference.

@dannystewart6027 3 года назад

I assume you are a courageous young lady who will be successful in life. Glad you enjoyed your time at home. Welcome back!

@psa110 3 года назад

Feli, how about a video on how you make your videos? That is, you spend many hours writing the script, so to speak, and editing. How do you make those choices? How do you decide to make a cut and where? You must have a clear idea of what you aiming at in order to do so. Do you have to wait for inspiration? Do you get your ideas (not necessarily all) from other RU-vid creators? What goes into all that time you spend just to produce a fifteen minute video? It would be very interesting to know the beginning to end process. Has it become easier over time? Have you learned certain tricks or shortcuts or just better ways to do things? Do you have your time regimented in order to force you to do it (as opposed to waiting for the mood to hit you)? Also, filling in your thoughts about becoming and being a RU-vid creator who (I assume) makes her living now producing her videos.

@TMD3453 3 года назад

Liked you "TED talk" GGIA! You can't be too critical of yourself. It's true! It doesn't work! All the best, glad you are doing well! PS - Yeah, I think being a RU-vidr is kind of like being a singer - there's a vocal performance aspect to it. Always enjoy it

@benitodee3274 6 месяцев назад

Also, when you bashfully admitted to liking pineapple on pizza, that was adorable.

@psa110 3 года назад

Feli, you spoke about bifurcating your RU-vid persona from your private one and how you wish you could do that. In one sense, even though this video was great (while watching, my inner Yul Brynner was bursting out into his famous rendition from the King and I of Getting to Know You) in getting to know some more about you and things you think or believe or like, you are you and very genuine and exude who you are without having to talk about it. You are a beautiful and attractive person and woman, and you cannot hide it. This is why so many guys on this channel have fallen in love with you (yes, weird but true). Maybe you realize this. I don't know. You are a very deep and aware person yet also appear innocent. Whoever ends up marrying you will have found a gem and be the envy of every other man who know you.

@rawwbnoles4787 3 года назад

That was sort of my thoughts. I feel today there are more people that are solely content creators as opposed to traveling musicians. The guys you hear on a radio, yes, they make most of their money from touring.

I lived in North America close to a decade, most of that time in Canada, and the first time I returned to Germany for a visit I had MAJOR reverse culture shock. Not only did everything in the landscape seem so flat (I lived in British Columbia and returned to Lower Saxony...) and small and ugly to me, and the people seemed so distant and unfriendly, I also felt extremely awkward speaking German. I had moved to Canada with my family when I was just 13, so I adaped to English extremely quickly. I did still speak German with my family, but speaking German with strangers was completely weird for me and I did not like it at all. I was also really thrown off by how heavy the doors were (I stayed at my grandma's place and she had solid wooden doors, unlike the typical lightweight North American ones) and how hard and scratchy the toilet paper was (my grandma always bought the 4-ply stuff - "Klopappe" , totally different from the soft t.p. I had gotten used to).

I moved from California to Northern Germany 30 years ago and lived there, out in the country and spoke only German for ten years. There were many times when I spoke English over the telephone with my brother in California when I was reduced to saying something like, “You know that thing which is usually this shape and we use it to....What is it called?” You can imagine how he laughed. Now I have lived more than 20 years in Sweden and my Swedish husband will gently interrupt me while I am in conversation to tell me, “Jerri, you are speaking German.”

@jamestucker9524 Год назад

Same thing happens to me after living in the Dominican Republic for many years. I will visit with my sister and her family and then start speaking in Spanish. They look at me oddly . That's when I begin to realize that they haven't any idea what I'm saying. The reverse is so when I'm down there. I will watch a movie on Netflix in my bedroom and then go into the living room asking someone about sending my grandson to buy a juice . They will look at me wondering what I am saying.

I’m not saying this with any intention to be disrespectful or invasive, but more so trying to show concern, if necessary. Many of the ways you’ve answered questions or described your experiences here, especially difficulty reading or paying attention in school, not being able to recall the plot of a movie you “saw”, not ever feeling an energizing effect from caffeine in your entire life, sound really similar to my experience and the way most others describe experiencing ADHD. If you have never explored or considered that, it may definitely not be true, but many others like myself find that being medicated for a problem they never knew they had, or had any indication they were experiencing anything differently than others, describe the experience of ever being medicated as literally like putting on glasses for the first time. I just hope this comment is helpful to someone.

My take is that there is no perfect country -- every country has its positive and its negative, side, but those depend in large part of your own preferences. What one individual might find unbearable in a given country another might find it a minor nuisance. Just to cite an example, you've stated in another video that you find it very easy to make friends in the US in contrast to Germany. I agree with that assessment, but I prefer Germany in that regard, where it's much harder to make friends but the friends you make, unlike nearly all the friends you make in the US, are for life. It's been many years since I lived in Germany but I still keep in touch with most of my German friends; by contrast most of the friends I made in the US have disappeared from my life. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Schöne Grüße aus Kalifornien!

You can hear this phenomenom very often.

@Aku-mia 10 месяцев назад

Ah yes. California. My beloved home land (specifically SF bay area). Not exactly sure what the reason is, but it seems many people really don't keep in touch and can disappear from each others' lives even if they were quite close. Perhaps it's not really in human nature on average to put in a lot of time and energy to keeping connections going that are outside of everyday life. Kinda makes me sad, cuz there's a lot of awesome relationships, friendships and good connections that have just disappeared since we don't live together, work at the same job or have the same hobby or whatever. I myself tend to try to keep in touch with people, but usually let it go if I'm the only one putting in the effort. However, I have also noticed this phenomenon in finland and here in german (I've spent a number of years in all 3 countries). 🐆🦊

When Germans say that it’s easier to make friends in the US I feel really sad for them tbh cause I’m just like “I hope that you realize how much your friends actually don’t care about you…..” I guess some people don’t mind as long as they have company but it’s still sad

Hi Felicia, I’m really interested in how you learned English. You speak it so well. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you!

@BenjaminVestergaard 3 года назад

I can't talk for her of course. But I believe that I am somewhat fluent. But I don't know if you would like my tips... First step is to be interested in the language. Second step is to have time to practice. I mean, I can do tourist Spanish, because I needed it, but I don't have the vocabulary I used to, because I didn't need it more than a couple of years. I taught myself to read russian, but very little sticks, because I never got to visit any place with Cyrillic alphabet. I know a few Cantonese words, because that's what my wife use with the kids. I can understand a whole lot of German because my grandmother came from there... But she understood Danish quite well, so I wasn't forced to use it. What made me quite fluent in English was the internet. First it was written, like IRC, later came the voice stuff. And a bit later I had to use English for all work documentation, because outsourcing. So to me, it's been a lot of practice and at the same time watching TV/Movies without subtitles (piracy didn't always have Danish subtitles). Edit: but one thing that puzzles me is what strong Danish accent that executives and ministers can get away with... I mean, I'm just part of the pleb, but in a position as foreign minister, you're expected to at least sound a bit better in English. Otherwise send in the queen, she also does a decent amount of French.

I think she mentioned in one video that English is required in German schools.

@JohnHazelwood58 3 года назад

Can't speak for her, but I am german as well and had for about 9 years english-lessons at school, which is kind of standard. As I left school over 20 years ago my english might not be the best anymore - sorry - but as far as I know the german pupils start even earlier at school nowadays - or even already in the kindergarten - to learn english. And in any case you use english (or any other language) regularly, you even might get better at it :-)

I came to the US with my family about 13 years and went back home for the first time 5yrs ago. While I love the US (I served in the Air Force for almost 3yrs before being medically discharged) Japan still has many things that I prefer over what we have in the US. While the case is the same the other way around, the quality and type of differences are what makes it for me. I don't mind Mexican food, American BBQ, etc., but to me there is no substitute for Japanese food. Ask any Japanese you meet, but we always will tell you things like "Wow!! This TAKOYAKI is ALMOST like the taste of Japan!" but never quite "This has the taste of Japan!" because there are always subtle differences that take away from the authenticity. But anyway, I went back for the first time in a long time and, I felt out of place the first couple days because I became used to many American cultural mannerisms, etc., so it took a little bit for me to readjust. But, as I've been traveling more frequently the reverse culture shock has all but disappeared just about. The only other thing would be that the sun rises a lot sooner than in the US.

I live in Berlin (Germany) and whenever I come back to Munich (Germany) I have a cultureshock as well. People in Munich are constantly overdressed and the City of Munich is so small compared to Berlin. I lived like 15 years in Munich and I thought of it as an normal german City but it's actually anything then normal. Even the police presence is much higher then in any northern german city I know. It's kinda a police state. Don't understand me wrong I live Munich and it have formed part of my personality but it's interesting how the culture shock even kicks in when you travel from city to city inside the same country. So yeah, I understand how people can have a cultureshock, especially if ther travel from one continent to another...✌️😉👍

Forgetting a word is not age related. As a child I would have trouble remembering a simple word and then when I remembered it thought why couldn't i remember that? Decades later it still happens and usually I just don't think too hard about it knowing I'll get it later.

My impression of you are: you are very intelligent. I think it takes great brain power to be fluent in more than one language. You are very personable, likable unless someone is rude to you or trying to push their opinions on you. You're very concerned about others and the environment. You have disdain for violence. You enjoy your privacy, but you enjoy socializing with like minded people. Those are my impressions. What do think? I enjoy watching and learning about Germany, where my family came from in the 1800's.

I think it was pretty easy to learn French as an English speaker. I took 5yrs in HS and then in college, unfortunately that was 30yrs ago and never spoke French outside the classroom. I've lost most of French I learned . Even if 30yrs ago when I was proficient, I'm not sure if I could work a job in France and be employed in another language other than English. So I'm digging for my French books📚 to re-treach myself French. I spent 5yrs and very sad I can't really speak French any longer after committing so much time to it. Spanish or Polish would have been more common in US as 2nd language.
