WE'VE LIVED IN GERMANY FOR 10 MONTHS!? | Learning German + German Supermarket Culture Shocks!

- In March of 2021 we left on a plane from America to live in Germany, a country we had never stepped foot in before. With so many cultures, religions, landscapes and foods to discover, we had a goal to live internationally and learn more about the world; specifically Europe. Now we’ve lived in Germany for 10 months. It’s hard to comprehend so much time has passed as we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here! In this video we provide an insight to how our adjustment has been, what our favorite memories are, how we are learning German, and give an insider's view of what we have planned for this new year.

Our Story to Tell
I just experienced the cutest thing ever. Everytime Willa turned to the Camera, my daughter (1,5 years old) was smiling and giggling maybe she was trying to communicate with Willa. That was so cute.
Oh man. Willa is probably one of the cutest kids i have ever seen. I always have to smile when i see her. Apart from that i really like Tanners new hair cut too.
Thank you 😊
The whole family will be coming over?That sounds awesome and it its a wonderful opportunity to show them around in Germany.Fingers crossed that the pandemic will not interfere in all your plans
It's really amazing to learn how many adventures you had during only 10 months in Germany. Willa is so cute, I can't wait to see her going to KITA. She will learn German so fast talking to the other kids. My son was 3 when he went and it took him 1-2 months.
We can’t wait to see it either! Thanks for the support. ❤️
You are a wonderful Family and we looking forward to see what your Family says or think about Germany. Willa is so super Sweet and her Development is cute. We are looking forward to see some Vlogs from Kindertagesstätte(Kita) You go with open Heart, Mind and Eyes to our Country and Culture that is so beautiful.
Willa is a natural! She is so happy!
You will discover so many great and interesting things here in Germany. Food, castles, cities, people.
I wish you a nice Sunday
I think your bravery to move over has paid Out, looking at all the positivities you mention in your clips
Thank you! We agree!
Happy Birthday Willa!
She really is 100% adorable, it shows. Of course being a toddler now 2 years old, she has to go through that "opposition phase" (the "no!-and-I don't-know-yet-how-to-express-my-frustration-properly-yet", but it is a GOOD thing that she goes through that! And with amazing parents like you are, I am sure you will support her in the best way going through that stage and teaching her how to get over it with time and love.
In my opion the short hair fits Tanner much better.
Thanks!
Great to hear you are having a great time. Looking forward to seeing what you make of the Harz mountains, as this is where I grew up and then studied at TU Clausthal there. Planning to move back to the region eventually.
Make sure to take the Steam train to the Brocken. Maybe a bit touristy, but late January / February chances are good that it might be a Winter Wonderland up there.
Too bad the Harztower they are currently building at Torfhaus won't be open yet when you go. That will probably be a great attraction. And just one more example of how they are investing into tourism there. The Harz is kind of being rediscovered as a beauty spot by many Germans right now. In no small part due to travel restriction that make people opening their eyes to what's actually to do close to their homes.
Love your new short haircut Tanner. Looking good !
Great 10 months Recap. Well done. Thank you for sharing your perspective and experiences
Y'all feel like family! Willa is just precious and brings a smile to my face! Keep on videoing and stay safe.
Love this! Right back to you guys! ❤️
I am thoroughly enjoying your journey as you learn about Germany and travel to other parts of Europe. I feel like I've been binge watching your videos over the last few weeks. Hahaha. Of course Willa is the cutest little bit of sweetness. Thank you for your positive natures and God bless you all!
Hehe, Willa, the star of the show. That incredibly cute smile always gets me.
Not dissing you two adults, but she really is just too adorable.
When she went really close up to the camera and totally blocked the view of Rissa, I had an 'aaawwww' and LOL moment at the same time.
Loved seeing her grow during your time here. It will be awesome to see her take up both English and German, probably a lot faster than you two adults.
She will become your little translator girl in a few years, I am certain.
"Pyjammies" needs to be put in the dictionary, right now!
That will be an awesome experience for you and your whole family when they come over.
Aww such a fun comment to read! We love your kindness & encouragement! She really will be the translator 😂 & she’s definitely the star of the show! 🤩
Thank you for taking us with you😁😍
Thank you for watching! 😊
The sun sets earlier in winter here, but also sets later in summer than in most parts of the Us, as far as I can see. :-) At least at the place where you live. Berlin, for example, would be a whole different thing with the sun sets happening even around 30 or more minutes earlier than where you live. Great videos, thanks for sharing them!
What you are doing is not only fun but SO SO important. To see and experience the world, and giving your daughter a fantastic start in life; to make her understand that the world is her playground. In your case, to REALLY experience another culture (Germany) and to see, feel and eat(!) other parts of Europe too. ...instead of going for a weekend to Tiuana ?!? (Nothing wrong with Mexico, but a weekend in Tiuana will not give you much Mexican experience...).
Thank you so much Peter!! It makes the crazy travel days and missing family worth it!
This video left me with a HUGE smile on my face and delight in my heart, plus the readiness to begin my “chores” quite happily! Thank you three!!
Willa is so cute, the step to the Kita is a big step that i coming. The first three months of Kita are gonna be hard due to the kids getting immunized by "sharing" all the usual stuff kids get, covid totally aside. So yeah there might be some days at home ahead. That's a rough step all parents have to go through, so I wish you guys a lot of strength and endurance and good luck :)
At Lidl they sell organic Nürnberger Bratwurst. They are so good :)
Well according to Christmas trees.
first of all "a Fir tree/ in german "die Tanne/der Tannenbaum" is lasting longer inside the house than "a Spruce tree/ in german "die Fichte/ der Fichtenbaum" ...keep that in mind ....therefore a "Tanne" is a bit more expensive.
And the time you bought it wasn´t that much of a problem for a tree (no matter if fir or spruce) you cuted yourself barehanded = clearly a fresh tree...but to put it indoors that early was....when the tree is stored outside in the cold (without the net) dumbed in a bucket of plain water (but you have to get sure that there is always water in the bucket) the tree will stay fresh for weeks/over a month with no signs of loosing needles or becoming brown especially when you give him a fresh cut at the stem every 2 weeks..BUT in a warm living room it won´t.
We love your story, guys! Thanks for sharing! Hugs from the Netherlands ❤ 🙏 🌏 🇳🇱 🤗 💙
Hi Risa, Tanner and Willa!
Eine schöne Zusammenfassung Eures ersten Jahres in Deutschland!!
Ich hoffe doch da kommt noch ganz viel mehr von Euch. Besonders hat es mir Willa angetan und Ihr habt es in diesem Video ja auch selbst gesagt daß sie eine ganz besondere, lebensfrohe Persönlichkeit ist. Das haben ich und viele andere Zuschauer Eurer Videos ja auch schon des öfteren in Kommentaren geschrieben, einfach weil es sooo wahr ist..! Wenn Ihr tatsächlich dann einmal nach 3-5 Jahren wieder "weiterziehen" solltet auf Eurem nomadischen Pfad durch die Welt werdet Ihr uns allen fehlen, ganz besonders aber die dann nicht mehr so kleine und evtl. schon "vollständig deutsche" Willa, die uns jetzt schon so sehr ans Herz gewachsen ist..!!
I have a suggestion! Check out the Rhine river castles in Hessen and Rheinland Pfalz. Beautiful scenery in summer. Rüdesheim!! There are thousands of american, chinese, and japanese tourists every year.
We will look into it, thank you 😊
Marksburg!
Happy Birthday Willa 🎉 she absolutely gorgeous 😅 her look at the camera so cute .
10 months have gone so fast ,you brought so much fantastic videos of your Travels ,been a joy to watch 😍.
Thank you for sharing .
That’s wonderful new your Families will be visiting you. Exciting time .
Have a Great week take care 🥰
Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot that you’re a little part of our family watching. 😊
You need a few acoustic panels too
A little Hint for the Christmas tree. Put a little Glycerin into the water. You can buy it at the apothecary. The neddles will stay longer green and will also stay longer on the branches.
Hey, Willa is adorable, I love too see you Spending another Christmas in Germany, and maybe you are going to stick with us longer, will be nice 😊 love you awesome Family 🥰 Willa she will grow up with three languages, like my son good for her 🙌
If you liked that raclette Laugenbrezn you might try something at home. You can buy frozen Laugenstangen or Laugenbrezeln at about every supermarket in Germany. They just need some minutes in the oven. We love to cover them with cheeses and sometimes bacon before we bake them and they taste delicious especially when we eat them still warm (not hot).
Yes, she is.... adorable!!! How thankful we all should be having had 'healthy' children and bringing them up in a 'functional' Family with abundance of Love!!!!
Be safe, stay close to your Heavenly Father as you now have the responsibility for a child. I Love you and want you safe too!!!
Home is where the HEART is❤️💓💕🌸🙏
Is Kita a thing in the US? If not and in case any American viewer is wondering: a Kita (short for "Kindertagestätte") is something like a child daycare place or maybe even a tiny bit nursery school mixed in, its mostly for the kids to be taken care of, have fun, play and learn a little.
Eggs in Edeka are indeed expensive compared to England. Why not get some chickens? I get my eggs from a woman up the road who re-homes caged hens from large poultry farms and lets them roam free outside, all day if they want. Freshest eggs often laid the same day, deep yellow yolks for £1 for six. That's about €1.20.
So hard to tell if I miss Tanner's longer hair or not. It looks good either way but I haven't fully gotten used to it yet. Definitely a surprising moment when it was just gone 😯
For me, I am 'Team Short Hair for Tanner' 😁
From the first moment, Team long Hair😭
Liking the long hair, but the shorter is not bad
What really is a fun part to learn a new language is to watch animation movies in the foreign language. For example "Findet Nemo" ist gorgeous. Especially when you know the movie already you can follow the story and get the flow of the foreign language. What do you think?
We agree! We watch a few movies and shows with German subtitles, so we will have to give it a go watching in German.
the ending was so cute~
informative as always. i wonder how your recap and perspectives will be in another 1 or 2 years.
He looks more sharp now, not that cute honey bear anymore, more like young Mr. Anderson.
Oh, when's Willa's birthday? My niece and goddaughter turned two at the end of December. Seems that they are pretty close in age!
They are very close in age! Hers is the middle of December! 😊
I hear Lingoda helps
If you go to Nuremberg again, why not try a tour from the Förderverein Nürnberger Felsengänge e.V., especially the tour: Under the fortress.
Or Zeppelin Platz in Nuremberg
Gretings from Germany
Good idea! Thank you! 😊
I did not want to be rude and mention your new hair look in the past video, think it fits good 👍🏼
Would like to see you guys visiting bigger german cities this year, like Köln, Frankfurt, Berlin...
Thanks for giving us your feedback! We are tentatively planning on Berlin soon! :)
bigger than munich and hamburg?
lol shorter days in Bayern. well they are shorter than what you are used to.
But they are even shorter in northern germany.
and way shorter further north.
But that makes the summer days so so long.
You lovely family, how germanized you are since living here?
You'll also have an hour MORE daylight in summer ... Imagine that!
The joys of a spinning office chair!
So much fun!
@@OurStorytoTell 😄
Wenn can i see you visit the netherlands
We wanted to go be there this weekend actually but we will be staying with a German family for Easter so we are hoping next spring for sure!! Maybe (& hopefully) before🤞
What’s your plan longterm? Are you here to stay? Will you move countries again or go back to the states?
We aren’t sure! We won’t be here more than 3-5 years since that is how long his work contract is for, but we hope to go to a different country other than USA!
@@OurStorytoTell Make it 5 rather than 3 years so that Willa will be able to learn German as 2nd language and hopefully not forget all her German while living in another country after the (hopefully at least) 5 years. I beg you on her behalf..!
2 is just a very cute age. Willa is a very sweet personality a s far as I can tell. :)
We have loved it so far! She really is so sweet. 😊
hi i love your videos and your family. its interesting to watch how you experience germany. But this video is hard to watch. your audio is not synchron with the pictures.. maybe you can fix it.
Nuremberger Sausages are not are good made at home in the pan. I never buy them, but there is always room for "3 im Weggla" when I am in Nuremberg.
Always room! Love that! 😋
@@OurStorytoTell German saying. you can of course say: "there is always time to …", but food wise also "there is always space/room to …" (in my stomach).
audio is out of sync starting at 5:50
Is anyone else having this problem? Go ahead and check it out now? On our end it seems fixed. :) Thanks for notifying us.
You say milk is more expensive than in the US? Are you buying at the commissary?
We have bought milk at both places. The commisary is a little bit cheaper than a German store, but both are much more expensive than in the US.
why just 10 months?
We will be here longer but like to give updates 😊
😘😘😘
why you don't have any pictures at your walls? it looks so empty! just let print out some still pictures of your videos go your travels.
Haha we get that! We actually have some in our living room, just not on that particular wall :) Might need to print out more!
@@OurStorytoTell print it on "Alu-Dibond"
Confusing ... the audio didn't match with the video ... ^^+gg
Just like you

Hi guys, what a nice recap which shows so many things already done and seen. You did very well and hope you will do in future as well and let us partizipate on your joy of life with your tiny family. I am sure you will do your best introducing your families into german life and cultures without any obstacles due to the corona virus. Cross my fingers for your sunshine at the Kindergarten. I am sure she will manage it because kids dont have any problems to join and play together. I am proud and glad to see you feel well here in Germany and hope this will be for the next years too. Whenever you are in need of help or getting answers to your questions from may be a different point of view, dont hesitate to contact me. Would be a honour for me to support.
