“I’m less consistent on RU-vid, not because I don’t love you guys, but because I love myself more” YES THIS IS AN AMAZING MINDSET. AND YES I ADORE THESE “sit and chat” VIDEOS 💓
I have a vivid memory of myself sprawled on my bed at 2AM watching this video for the first time dreaming about the What Ifs. And it's only now that I'm two months out from moving to Berlin, slowly packing up my apartment and coming to terms with the fact that I actually did it, that I realize that I never really thought that I would. I thought the closest I'd ever get to that gumption to relocate to a foreign country would be to live vicariously through you. But I've just landed an amazing job in Berlin and I'm on my way. And I've returned to once again really reflect on your words and take them to heart so they can hopefully help me out on my journey as well. Thank you, for everything. I hope you've only grown since.
Hi! I just moved to Berlin myself and am also coming back to Jade's video for a little pick-me-up since this city is A LOT. Is there anything that helped you feel more at home here? Due to the sheer size of Berlin and the anonymity this brings, I find it hard to make deeper connections with people.
As a German, I was really impressed by your summary of German / Berlin history and current issues! You're such a ray of light and your curiosity and passion for life is contagious, always looking forward to new videos by you! :)
Hi lady did u visited Munich? Berlin and Munich seem to be completely opposite of each other lol, I plan to visit Berlin soon but next week I go to Freiburg ! Then Stuttgart then dusseldorf but I will go to rural part too, I wonder if I will like Berlin more than Munich tbh I do think Berlin doesn't look really beautiful compared to Munich but idk really.. what do u like more Berlin or Munich?
I literally just said: " Jade is one of the few reasons why internet is still a good place" and than found out that you have a new video and couldn't help but smiled. You're such an inspiration, I'm so glad I found your channel :)
aaa jade i’ve been feeling so hopeless lately with everything happening in the world. once you asked me to think about three things that i’m grateful for i literally started crying. thank u for being such a ball of sunshine, grateful for you and what you share 🥺🤍
Hey ! Just wanted to tell you that when we feel like this, when noyhing is going right, when we're scared, anxious ect, the arms of our creator is open to us. I don't know if you beleive in somtething or not, but I just wanted to tell you that God exists, and you are here only because of him. He created everything and he has the solution to the world's problem! The thing is that humain don't want God, they reject him so we are abandon tou oursleves and pay the consequences... but anyway! You could try to speak to him, to ask him to prove personnaly to you if he exist because he does! Just call unpon his name and he will rescue you and give you peace, for sure!!! Be blessed, and I am coming in total peace, I don't want to create any debates! Have a great day/ night/ evening in Jesus's name 😘! There's hope in Jesus Christ ( son of God) 😊
This thought about heavyness really resonated with me - getting colder and darker (the sun sets before 4pm and it is ~2°C in my country already), second wave of covid (we don't have a lockdown yet but that might happen anytime now), populism and right wing politics on rise, uni work - it simply is a lot. But to everyone reading this - feeling so is okay. Please take time for yourself. Take yourself on a walk. Call a friend. Sleep. You matter and are important. We've got this 🦋 Oh and Jade - I am sure we all (well, most of us, there always are some who disagree) would love the videos you think aren't good enough. I personally really enjoyed today's chatty type of a video, and sure would like to watch some more. 🌻 Sending a virtual hug to anyone needing this 💛
As a German I really find it interesting how people from other countries view our culture. Thanks for letting us into your mind and keep those positive vibes 💕
My parents and I went to Berlin the summer of 2017, and found Kreuzberg as our favourite place. We returned to Kreuzberg in 2018 and 2019 and planned to return the summer of 2020 aswell, but that obviously couldn't happen. However, Kreuzberg is so beautiful! People are so engaged and creative! Groups of people of all ages, backgrounds and identites sitting on the ground together singing and playing guitar, buildings covered in greenery and creatively decorated balconies- and I even saw someone bring a piano outside to play! All the turkish influence, the grafitti of all sorts, and how the architecture of the buildings is so mixed in a lovely way (obviously because of the intense history of the country). There are second hand shops and turkish shops and small-scale galleries everywhere. I can't believe how wonderful Kreuzberg is and I miss it, I'm so happy you live there!
This means so much, thank you! I feel like I'm slowly coming into myself as a videomaker (even if I'm less consistent...oop). I've loved telling the stories of my life here, thank you
Berlin is SO NOT representative of how the average of Germany/a German is in terms of countryside (use of areas), people, mindset, beliefs, politics, language, city architecture and so on. If you want to have an experiance of that I recommend you visit a town like Osnabrück or Bielefeld or Gießen.
Yeah it's incredible how many beautiful cities there are that are "more German" and representative of their area. I'm thinking of Lübeck, Nürnberg, Augsburg, Heidelberg, Dresden. Just the beauty of those places! And then there's Berlin 💩🤭
I am not talking about beautiful I am talking about average! I think it is important not to only look at the pretty sides of something to fully understand it.
Hey Jade! Could you do a self-discipline, study video? How you organise studying, doing sport, meeting up with friends, partying etc?? That would be awesome!
You are such a beautiful being and whoever has an internet connection appreciates your humble existence. Also, MORE RAMBLING PLEASE. Sending you and everyone reading this a virtual hug ❤️
Good point to highlight the problem of gentrification, however do you not feel like Minerva as an institution contributes to or even encourages it? Dropping extremely privileged students into cities for a few months at a time to 'engage' with the city on a pretty superficial level then leave again? What you mentioned about learning about start-up culture when trendy start-ups are often what exacerbate gentrification through exploitation of the cheap rents in 'less desirable' areas of cities? Just seemed like a lack of self awareness?
Yeah, tbf so many people (myself included) have eagerly spread ''awareness'' about gentrificiation, but what are we doing about it? That's the real question. It's good to understand that unjustness is present in the system, but if you are in a position of privelage, shouldn't recognizing these systemic flaws prompt you to do something in order to improve the situation?
@@Missgirl7533 My thought about what to do about gentrification is great transport options. That way it should not be so much of a problem to get into the city quickly. Another possibility is to decentralize stuff like universities to have housing interests overlap less, so different parts are more evenly popular
Good point,but I think if the students at Minerva engage correctively enough they can make that impact as minimal as possible. Of course, gentrification appears even in the simplest facts such as a German City having many English-speaking establishments to accommodate tourists,but if the traveler him/herself are aware of the impact they have and look for stating in non-franchise hotels to stay in,try to shop locally,give more emphasis to small service providers etc you can help even in a position that you could only be in because of globalization and gentrification
I think to do something against the gentrification when you're in a place of privilage, it's possible to support the local campaigns to stop the consequences of big investors buying buildings. For example #stopheimstaden thats happening right now in Berlin.
I have been to Berlin once, for five days. It's a really short amount of time, but I tried to let all the feels and all the energy just soak in. And it so did. I still think about that trip as a transformative experience. Your point of view is really valued and of course I take it with a grain of salt and process it. These videos are just as enjoyable as any other you've made in the past couple months that I've been watching your content and following your journey. Particularly, today, you made me rethink of my own past experiences abroad (I live in Greece) and rejoice!
My friends just suprised me with a trip to Berlin once the situation with Covid is better! I hope I get to see you and have a talk with you! You would get along with us sooo well! Woaah! And my friends would be so happy to have someone to show us around and to all vegan restaurants!
Oh this is AMAZING! I hope the situation improves soon. I've not left my apartment in 3 days and I can't wait to explore this beautiful city again 🥺 let me know when you're in Berlin. I'll see what we can do...
@@UnJadedJade I heard about it! Germany is in a mini lockdown again, isn't it?? I live in Switzerland and my government is trying to avoid that at all costs. I wish you a lot of casual magic for the day, lockdowns can be very exhausting, especially with your Uni! However I'm sure you will manage it perfectly, the optimist you are! As soon as the situation stabilizes and we know when we will do the trip, I will let you know! Where do you check your messages the most? DMs on Insta? Or comments on youtube? You must get a lot of them!! I hope we will be able to meet up, that would be awesome! You could show us all the thriftstores!
@@UnJadedJade I'm really glad you have posted this video and especially the last part I can totally relate to it. I also haven't left home for couple of days also and just realising that we are leaving close to each other, it would be great if we can have coffee and chat some day 🥰
I’m watching this now, because I’m in Berlin and thought I might hear some tips for this city which I did, but also your video and YOU are just so inspiring and cozy and deep, having you as a friend must be so special. Love you❤️
Hi Jade, i've been watching your videos for two years now and i want to let you know that i really appreciate YOU and your effort in these moments that you share with us :) I've read somewhere that the only way to heal is to let yourself feel, so please take all the time you need, to go through your emotional and mental health journey. You're a beautiful human inside and out. I sincerely wish you all the best in every adventure that u take. Please never forget that you're very important and worthy .Sending u much love and light
Jade, It’s my first comment that I have ever made on someone’s RU-vid video. I lasted till the last seconds of this video and I did really enjoy it, especially your rumble at the end about mental health and important of putting yourself first “even if that means saying no to people” (that was on point). I would love to see more of videos like this one! Kisses from Denmark from Karolina (I’m Polish but I’m also studying abroad) 💓
You are an absolute inspiration! Let me tell you one thing. 90% of people on social media are posting things that are of no use to anyone. But there is 10% of people like you who post such motivational content, which not only aspires us as human beings to become the best version of ourselves, but also urges us to just appreciate the day-to-day things that happen in our lives. Ever since I heard about the term 'casual magic', I tried to implement it into my life--and you will never guess how much more grateful and happier I have become, just by telling myself 3 things I was grateful for that day. Thanks to you, I have also now become a huge advocate of mental health and positive energy and happiness. Your videos just keep getting better and better and please keep the self-growth advice coming! Every week I am there looking out for your next upload. I rlly hope you see this Jade, because you have completely changed my life, and I know you will continue to change many others too. You deserve everything you wish for in life and thank you so so much once again! :))
the part about diverting the convo from school uni work to smth personal deep about perspective about life...that part really resonated with me. Like as always really good content. xoxo
I'm a student who went on the plane to France for my dream studying abroad 4 days before my 20th birthday. Now I'm currently in the first lockdown alone in my life after only 2 months going to school in human. I still don't get to know many friends, still don't speak French fluently (jokes on me, who dare to go to France with intermediate French level) and still don't catch up with the pace of uni work but I won't let this heavy time defeat me. I'm trying my best to live my life indoor, by my self with a computer screen 24/7. 3 things I'm grateful today: Getting up after a full sleep in a lovely Saturday morning. Getting to meet a friend after weeks Having a whole supportive family back in my home country who always back on me unconditionally. Today, I will ask a French friend what is his proudest point in his culture. I will be the one who ask others deep questions. Like you said, I will take time to answer these questions first on my own, then help people to give theirselves reflection time in this heavy situation.
I'm watching this in the morning but I'm grateful for: -the beautiful cloudy weather -the fact that for the whole morning I'm alone in my house -the nice subjects I'm studying today
PLS keep rambling girl like if you made a podcast, i will RELIGIOUSLY listen to you rambling about Berlin, mental health, what you're learning, like literally ANYTHING
"heavy energy" oh yeah. These past weeks were so hard to process, I am like a sponge lol I absorb everything it's around me and sometimes, that's a problem. But yeah, I think that this time is a very dark time because it's a transition time: people have a lot of time to think, to detox from our society's values and a lot of new souls and creative (or not) ideas come to life. We had more time to reflect on BLM, climate change, our priorities and I notice that beauty, light and hope is finding it's way through these times. So, thank you Jade for a positive perspective it always helps me to see things in different ways xx
Honestly I love your rambling more than your content things , it's not that I don't enjoy your content but when you're just rambling and saying what u feel and want to tell us to be okay....honestly this is what I needed.....Thank u so much for being here in this world with us ...you have changed the way I look at my life now....Just wanted to say thank u and love ya..🤗🌸
Three things I'm grateful for today: Jade spreading rambly positivity, Jade being a mental health queen & taking care of herself, Jade ROCKING that green eyeliner in the airfield clips
This was great! Im a German ( from munich though) and the way you captured what that might be like was exceptional! I have never witnessed such a deep dive in such a short time. I love how you take your time to learn about the city and it's history and social aspects.... Also listening to you was a pleasure! It sounded like a lecture but in the best soothing way. I had such fun with all your good topics and the stuff you talked about.
I just want to start by saying thank you so much for this video. I watched it the whole way through and I appreciated your range of topics and the way you specified the importance of mental health. I felt I needed to hear that. I'm coming from the US in New England, Connecticut to be specific and I definitely felt the stress of this recent election. I loved your description of the city and I especially loved how you expressed your love of "history on every street." It's important to prioritize yourself, so if not posting as much is what you need I think that's exactly what you should do. As an avid follower and supporter of you and your channel, I know I wouldn't mind. Wishing you the best during this time. Have a good day lol 😁
life is so hard at the moment, mental health is a struggle but thank you for reminding me to be grateful for the little things!! this made me smile, i hope you have a good day too :)
i love your berlin videos so much because i speak english as my native language too and have wanted to go to germany for uni since grade 5 and it's so cool seeing you doing just that
the thing you said about heaviness hit me so hard because I have been feeling so so low lately. i study fashion design and online school is.. exhausting, to say the least. because there is no physical motivator (like the right people or the right environment) to help me do all the physical work required. this year has been so emotionally draining, with the issues in the world and activism fatigue and the all-around depressing fog that has seemingly wrapped itself around the whole world. it's been a lot of crying and loneliness and hopelessness lately (as I'm writing this I'm thinking about the assignment due yesterday that I did not submit because I desperately needed a mental health break) but watching your videos definitely makes me feel a little more optimistic and a little less useless. I'm thankful that you never feel the need to hide your own insecurities and weaknesses and fears because it really gives me (and many others, I'm sure) something to relate to. i think that we really need to count our blessings and feel grateful for the little moments in life. if anyone reading this needs a hug, here it is.
I’ve no idea if you will read this jade but I really hope you do. I just want to let you know I am kinda younger that you, I am 17 but I think mentally I am A LOT older. And I can relate to your internal self ALOT. Around 8 minutes into the video I knew you would be overthinking if you are just jabbering, and I knew you would think a billion times if you should post this and I knew you HAVE no doubt 101 videos which you have filmed, maybe even edited fully and never posted. I knew it was all true (but I wasn’t sure if you would tell that out) BUT I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY YOU DID TELL IT OUT, because 1)we can console you saying that “sister jade you are not alone” and 2)your viewers can calm themself down by saying “okay dear me, I am not alone” You are doing a favor both ways. I regret ALOT and I think if I regret less I could be alot happier and I am trying to better myself in that by trying my self “ just let go of things I have no control over and try to be better at the things I have control over” and reminding myself to let go of things I have no control over has helped me a lot. And me being a person rich with anxiety in all degrees.....it’s hard.....it’s really hard, but again I get through it (because of my faith in my religion) but also because I am slowly letting go of things I have no control over (Okay I feel like I am rambling again too, but I know it will help if you do read it) Also sister jade(i like calling you sister because it’s in my culture and it shows that you are a VERY IMPORTANT PEROSN TO ME; wish I could meet and hug you 😭) I was so happy you spoke about mental health I have been having a hard time since dec-Jan and it SUCKS I too feel low for no reason. I am like “dear mind and heart what on earth do you want from me” because I don’t understand what they want me to do neither are they letting me be happy. (But I don’t think we can ever be happy forever but we will no doubt have happy days) (I wish I could physically talk to you for hours and hours or even days and weeks and months and years 😭) And I am such an over thinker and I am so afraid about myself and my other beloved brothers and sisters because of racism etc.... which is happening to us muslims in many places (sadly by the so called Muslims themselves as well) it sucks to know that my brother and sisters in Yemen and syria are in pain shedding my blood for a crime they didn’t do because they are from me and I am from them. It’s so hard to not remember them. Also finally I want to let you know that your videos helps me ALOT even this one helped my so much that I will come back to it again and again. We do miss you a lot because you aren’t that active here on YT but it’s okay you need to take care of yourself. And I LOVED this videos and just to let you know this video helped me alot(I don’t generally comment but I couldn’t stop myself here) I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH AND I WISH YOU FIND THE STRENGTH TO SMILE IN HARD TIMES. And try to make time to do things that makes you happy. And final final thing- you and I will find people who will LOVE you and people who will not (even within yours and my family) but what can you do? Even you have only so much control obviously....but do it for the people who loves you and just ignore the people who don’t because this video helped me a lot wish there were more ppl like you. But I knw you, just like me overthinks a lot before doing anything. But we love you just the way you are. Love you SO MUCH BYE 💞💓💕❣️🧡🤍🤎
Yes thank you, I love your rambling. Made my day. I start to get a bit mad at edited/over edited yt videos. It's exhausting to watch. I love how this just feels normal, natural, like sitting beneath you on the balcony and listening to a friend. It takes that hustle, hustle, busy energy out. Slowlyness is holyness. Great you love Berlin. It's a special city. Enjoy your time there
Your vibe and energy is so contagious, you could honestly ramble about Anything and it will still make people feel better. it’s like listening to your friend and how their day is going when you’re tired of your own. It’s nice and it makes you tap out for a bit and come back with some new energy. Thankyou for your rambles and goodluck with everything🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
There is a song from Peter Fox (a german musician) which is called „Schwarz zu Blau“ (means „Black to Blue“) and one line of it goes: „Siehst nicht mal schön von weitem aus, doch die Sonne geht grade auf. Und ich weiß, ob ich will oder nicht, dass ich dich zum Atmen brauch‘.“ That is translated: You don‘t even look pretty from far away but the sun is rising right now. And I know, if I want or not, that I need you to breathe. It‘s about Berlin, and I think that describes the relationship to Berlin of people, especially Berliners, to Berlin quite well. It‘s not beautiful in an obvious way, at least at most of the spots, but the people are giving it the little thing, which makes people go there and never want to leave again. And thats why some people say that Berlin is the ugliest city but they still love it the most. Many greetings from Berlin, Lichtenberg🖤💙
It’s not just you rambling on your balcony!! Really, it feels like you’re a friend, just expressing your feelings that are soo justified right now! I hope it made you feel better to talk like that, and good luck for the next assignments to do! You can do that QUEEN !!
how can someone be so amazing, im in love with u jade, i watched a twenty minute video while it felt like two minutes. ur such a peaceful person, u bring peace to my live.
I smiled such a big smile at „tell me three things you‘re grateful for“. Reminded me of how my father would always ask me that question before going to bed. Such a good habit, honestly. Have a great day, person who‘s reading this
JADE PLEASE POST the videos you think "aren't worth showing to anyone" I CAN ENSURE YOU THAT YOUR VIDEOS are some of the only things I look forward to in my day :') deadass my only source of happiness and comfort SO PLS KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING ILY
Jade you have no idea how invested i was in this video. i just listened, i sipped my coffee and i smiled and agreed to everything you said i didn't feel the need to speed up the video infact when it was over i went oh god is it over already? i could've listened to that for hours, i think these are my favourite kind of unjaded jade videos i also loved the other one you did in your balcony everytime i listen to it just the set up and your vibe and words make me feel like home i hope you read this even though its a pretty old video, i hope this comment is your casual magic of the day :)
I genuinely find you such an inspiring person. I’m a nightmare for getting overly stressed and overwhelmed where I throw myself into uni and staying physically healthy, but whenever I get to that point I’ve somehow developed a habit of watching one of your videos and it instantly helps me realign and rethink. Thanks for keeping RU-vid such a positive and pure place ☺️
And commenting the detail of the "beauty" or "ugliness" of a city: to me it seems, if there is no point in making ratings like this because of the history, mainly in World War 2 and during the GDR. As in theses times cities were destroyed, rebuilt, sometimes newly "designed" according to new ideologies... and aesthetic wasn't a priority at all, I think you just could say, if a city nowadays meets with you aethetic, meets your need of infrastructure etc. So I grew up in a city, where the center is a weird melange of completely reconstructed medieval buildings (like an outdoor museum), "modern", but mainly functional building from the 60ies and 70ies - and a few, but effective details from the late 90ies, a historical consistent old town always seems to me as a museum, not a place to life. Maybe it could be this: you can read cities as a history book. Some of them emphasize the older times, some of them mainly tell about the last and the current century.
I am your Mums age. I found you accidentally on a search for osprey 40 liter bag reviews. Then I ended up watching more. You are my sons age. I find your content and voice to be so much wiser than your age. I appreciate your voice and thoughts. You rock chica! ❤️😊❤️
I love the way of your talking, you seem soo positive, this is the first time I see a video of yours and I am in love. I would love to have friends like you in my life.
I'm moving to Berlín the day after tomorrow, I'm so excited but also a bit anxious about the situation there, the quarantine and basically moving to a foreign country where I know nobody, but listening to you took a little of that anxiousness away, thanks!!
These kinds of "sit down and talk about anything" videos are the best, Jade! I could watch them for hours. It honestly feels like catching up with an old friend. The way you approach things - the good and bad - is very unique and inspiring, and yet so authentic and reassuring. The world is crazy enough at the moment. This is all we need. Thank you!
You're so beautiful and your voice is so soothing. To make things better, I can understand every word you're saying. I'm used to "thicker" British accents that are really hard to understand, but it's a pleasure listening to you 🤗
I love Berlin!!! I go there twice a year to visit my best friend (I am originally from Munich). I agree with you that everyone in Germany complains about how ugly this city is due to all the amazing buildings that the rest of the country has to offer but I personally think that Berlin is beautiful since it went through so much war and has all of the memories preserved. The people are very open minded and politically active, they do a lot for the future and we call them "Ökos" because they seem to only wear second hand clothing and live vegan and sustainable (exaggerated) 😂 I don't think that the German people are racist in Berlin since I never met anyone there who was against POC or black people tbh. The issue is that in Germany as well as in other countries people from the countryside are more conservative than the ones in the city and therefore some unfortunately are racist. In Berlin every culture out of every country converges which causes that some e.g. refugees are fighting with their neighbors because that is the culture that they have war with in the middle east and they kind of continue their prejudices here. There are also clans and what I hate the most: Some Arabic people bring the mindset of antisemitism to especially Berlin which is horrible!!! OF COURSE NOT EVERYONE OF THEM!!!!! And you are absolutely right, im the huge cities of Germany we suffer with the issue that the rents are getting higher and higher until the residents are not able to pay their rents anymore and have to move to the suburbs or even to the countryside.
Jade, these videos feel like friends having a catch-up - I appreciate it so much. You're an inspiration, honestly. Everyone needs a friend like Jade. Such a star
I just need to say that I am simply so impressed with your personality and the way that you see and put things that I feel like just watching you chat about random things, I'm learning SO MUCH!! ❤❤❤
Jade, you are one of my favourite people to watch. I moved to Malta a couple of months after you moved to Berlin and your videos are really helping me to embrace every aspect of living in a new country and make the most out of it.
I didn't even know how much I needed to listen to you speak, this video was so brilliant and I want you to know how naturally inspirational you are❤️ changed my perspective on life in lockdown in less than 20mins xx
There’s a lot of middle eastern antisemitists, bc of the problems with Palestine and Israel but the German racists are almost completely out of the city, u rarely see any Nazis and definitely nether nazis which show it openly. The Antifa and anti nazi scene is extremly big in Berlin
@@emlish Way to intentionally twist my words, well done. I'm literally saying talk about it in a serious way, not like it's a fun attraction you want to go and see.
Jade, your words and laughs and thoughts were really something i needed to hear💓 thank you for your time and please don’t question the quality and importance of this video!! love you
im grateful that you trusted your intuition and sat down to speak your mind coz it impacted my life in the most beautiful way. as you were talking, i was imagining your life in real time and because youre so articulate, i felt every feeling you described and in my mind i saw everything you experienced and it helped me realise that the more time i waste trying to figure out what to do next reduces the time i have to actually do it and experience it in it's glory... nothing beats the feeling of being present and understanding that everything has a process and needs time and effort in order for it to be worth it.. it took time for you to come to this video because you needed to be 100% there in all those moments in order to be here in this moment with this message to share... I want to be this impactful when i communicate with people on or offline... thank you for sharing and Im sending you beautiful warm energies as you continue on your journey of ascension 🕊🖤💫🔮🌞 warm pizzas from South Africa 🍕🌍
and to top it all off your description box has so much love in it ive genuinely never seen so much manifestation and detail like this everrrr.. it's magical 🌼
This video really REALLY helped me to de stress. It was really lovely to hear someone that is also doing uni and is stuck in lockdown is still managing to live such a wholesome and happy life
Really sorry but I, as a Berliner, have to say two things I don’t see the way you say it. Firstly who said that Germans are proud of their language? And secondly there is absolutely a typical clichee of a real Berliner even tho in Berlin life a lot amount of non Germans
Not sure if I am necessarily proud of the german language but I for sure love my mother tongue. It gives you the opportunity to express yourself very precisely. And you can make up new super long words on the fly. And to top it off: Mark twain wrote a book about the german language 😊😉
@@user-hw9vl3qo6l Your native language gives you personality and an identity. I speak Spanish and although is not spoken around the world I still like it.
I quit most social media this quarantine and this just feels so good to hear,that it’s OKAY to live my life and not socialize the way it’s more comfortable to society,but better for me. This definitely puts me in a FOMO position but then I realized I didn’t mind missing,but rather that I’m afraid ppl are gonna be mad at me for not doing so. And if they don’t want me around just because it’s not convenient,fine, losing someone for such a silly thing is not a loss at all.
Hey, I live here in Germany/go to school here and I think the school system could teach more about racism in general and how are language and behavior is adding up to it. Yes, they do teach us about the war, Holocaust and what led to it. But they don’t teach us about the racism that is still remaining in the country, the systematic racism, etc... Don’t get me wrong, it’s gotten a lot better, but I think that we could do so much more. Most of the language that is used in newspapers and in the media use is so problematic. For example: when a person of colour committed a crime, they always write where the persons roots are from. It doesn’t matter if that person was born in Germany, their roots are still gonna be mentioned. Which adds up to the hate and racism towards people of colour. With what intention are the media/news articles doing that ? Is it even necessary to be mentioning anything about their ethnical background/nationality? What does their nationality have to do with the crime they committed? I don’t know. I just think that it’s important especially, because racism is still a big topic here in Germany. Maybe not for majority of white Germans here, but for people with a migrational background and Germans who don’t look the part like me. P.s: I really like your videos. You’re such a light on RU-vid. Lots of love xoxo
@@riri_rmrz yeah, I wrote it that way, because you can still be German and not white. (Like me for example) Being German doesn’t automatically mean that you are white. There are people that have parents who are African, but still were born here who see themselves as German. I hope you get what I’m saying🙂
I really liked that video. I am German myself living in the small city Bayreuth and studying philosophy and economics here. It's very common for graduates of my degree to move to Berlin afterwards because that's where the jobs are. I used to hate that idea. It is true that some Germans think Berlin is ugly and it is also true that it does not represent what Germany is like. It is very different. So I never wanted to move there but felt like I will be forced to do so at some point. With your vlogs from Berlin you gave me a very different perspective on the city. Now I am looking forward to move there for an internship in March. I am excited about it. And except from that, I also just like the format of those chatty videos!
I started watching your videos at the beginning of the pandemic and I have to say that you've grown to be one of my favourite youtubers! I love your honesty and positivity and I feel like you really want the best for everyone in your life! Also because I'm dutch, I enjoy hearing you talk about our language and culture etc. You inspire me to take care of myself and not let uni-stress ruin my life;) Just keep doing whatever makes you happy and I will follow your journey in Berlin and wherever you will end up next!
Thank you for this video! I'm moving to Berlin in a year and I'm terrified about all the culture and language differences. It looks like I can use English while I'm learning German and glad you said it feels like London as I love it so much.
I'm studying abroad in Germany this year too, so it's super interesting to hear your perspectives on things 💖 I love your videos like this - it's just like meeting up with a friend for coffee and a chat, which I'm definitely missing right now in lockdown! So please don't feel like they're not perfect, because conversations don't have to be - it's more about spending time with the person and the feeling of connection with another human being xx
I was here for every word of it, wholesome chitchat is so valuable and refreshing. I feel engulfed in a world that isn't having these conversations and I really appreciate your insights and tender findings as a fellow 20-something-year-old trying their best to navigate this ever shifting wide world.
I love these chatty videos! It's like sitting down with a friend and just unwinding and reflecting and I'll happily watch as many of these as you decide to make. It's a joy to watch you grow and learn and to come along for the ride. Thank you always for sharing! 💛🌻✨
first, you feel soulmatish. second, i actually couldn't help but like your mini meltdown on workload. because i am going through it as well. and it's important to admit it. and i'm in this weird stage of growing up, and i feel lonely, and run down, and stressed sometimes. or not too active enough, at other times. and im a perfectionist, just as well, fighting with my thoughts. and i really like your ramble. i maintained eye contact throughout most of the video. because in your mix of tiredness, optimism and struggle i found a piece of me. you are one of the few youtubers that i wait for. and its so good, seeing your videos appearing on my dashboard. you know, funny thing, i once was kinda skeptical about your channel, because i was burned out, because i couldnt understand how is it that you're getting on so well (sorry!). but now you feel... familiar. and mature. and relatable, as much as this language of productivity capitalism sends shivers down my spine. good luck. i dont know if it will get better soon, but time flies by every day. it will be better.
i love hearing you talk because you're always super passionate about it and i really respect the fact that you take time to study the culture you're in and appreciate it
I like these chatty ones the best :)) especially now, videos just focused on studying can increase my anxiety while this is very calming. It makes you realise that you´re not alone during ThEsE UnPrEcEdEnTeD TiMes and appreciate life a little more
I moved from London to Leipzig, a city not so far from Berlin around July. Your videos have resonated with me lots, it's been great to sort of go through the journey together. Looking forward to your next chapter :)
I love how you addressed mental health issues by the end of the video ❤❤ Lots of love to you from India 🇮🇳 Your video was really helpful as a future international student in Germany
please please do not ever even think that these videos are not enough I LITERALLY wait for the whole house to sleep so no one would interrupt me while i drink tea and listen to you
I didn't know how much I needed this video right now. I'm having a tough right now (just as a lot of people as I observed), and hearing that it's okay to feel the way I feel made me feel so much better. Thank you!
