OMG the loving way you look at each other is proper "relationship goals"
Yeah I wouldn't even normally comment, I do not have this thought to apply ANYWHERE else so it really is significant - the way they look at eachother "glows" haha
This couple is soooo lovely, I can see little hearts flowing between their looks❤
It is so good getting to know Valerie! She’s a sweetheart.
...and speaks english very well.👍
She does, isn't she? Love her smile❤
She has the trousers on.
@@birteoldhaber513of course she does! Everyone of her age in Germany would speak English very well. Not really a compliment.
Love the way you look at each other! Lovely chemistry, positive vibes, refreshing!
In the shorts, are they 2 diferrent people? 2 males, maybe twins?
@@mamaducissemaci929What are on about now 😂😂😂 its a married couple. A man and a woman. How nuts are people!?😅😅
“Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ ! “
The complete English saying is nearer the German in the second clause 😂
0:12 'we say: sport is mord.' George Orwell once wrote _sport is war minus the shooting._ a quote from my days in school which still lingers on in my memory up to this day.
You guys really have a good thing going! I have been married for 10 years and I still love my wife as it was our first date. I do see the same look in your eyes when you look at each other. If all of us could be so blessed!
So sympathisch die beiden 😊
Liam is the most German looking Engländer ever! So lustig, dass Valerie seinen englischen Akzent mit dem stummen T und doppelten T übernommen hat
No he has a classic English-looking face.
Absolutely agree with this, the glottal stops Valerie has picked up from Liam are fantastic 😍
@@empydoodle
Yeah... "glottal stops" - that's what I was looking for, right.
I'm German having studied English at uni some time ago. But I didn't remember that exact term immediately.
Isn't it: The accent where they're used characteristically ( maybe approximately what Liam's speaking also ) is the "Cockney" slang ( London area roughly ) ?
@@Vivarius_RLPBY Yes, the Cockney accent is certainly where they're most widely known for, though Liam's accent isn't quite as.. animated / strong as that. It sounds much more like my own accent, so more of a working class South Eastern accent.
Worth noting as well that glottal stops are used all around the UK, especially in England - Yorkshire/ Lancashire, Geordie and West Country accents (for example) all use them heavily, too!
Spaziergang - one of the most dangerous gangs
... and so many, particularly on sundays after lunch.
The Geen Doorgang is also rampant in the Netherlands
Fun fact: the two words are related and you can still see the original meaning (to go/walk) in words like gangplank.
Or sumfin 😆
Valerie’s pronunciations are gold. Like a little Londoner.
I love these chats, you two are doing more for anglo-german relations than anyone else! I'm grateful for the wake-up call that my everyday habits are very German xD
I’m doing my German Duolingo rn 🇩🇪

Spaß ist, wenn man als Tscheche in Deutschland lebt, diesen Podcast schaut und kaum Deutsch und kaum Englisch kann :DWas du in der Jugend lernst, ist im Alter wie gefundenes Geld. Es gießt wie aus einer Kanne.Auch Männer haben ihre Tage.Einen alten Hund lehrt man keine neuen Tricks.Wenn es schiefgeht, dann richtig.Übung macht den Meister. Und die gegenteilige Variante ist: Auch der beste Meister kann einen Fehler machen.Wie man in den Wald ruft, so schallt es heraus... beziehungsweise ... wer Wind sät, wird Sturm ernten.Pfennige machen Tausender.Jeden dachte nach und tat es... der andere dachte nicht nach und trat hinein.Hunger ist der beste Koch.Ich habe versucht, alle Sprichwörter wörtlich aus dem Tschechischen ins Deutsche zu übersetzen... außer "zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen", das ist wohl überall gleich.Es ist ziemlich witzig, dass das Tschechische in der Umgangssprache so viele Wörter aus dem Deutschen übernommen hat...Grüße aus Zittau (Sachsen)
Here are a few other fun possibilities that came to mind:
Ein blindes Huhn findet auch mal ein Korn" = "Even a broken clock is right twice a day"
"Ein Unglück kommt selten allein" = "Bad luck comes in threes"
I'm english,lived in Austria,had 2 kids who grew up their,now we live back in england,,,,never stop eating baked beans,open a can eat em cold from the can with a spoon ,wow what a reaction I got that time😅😅😅😅😅,any food can be sandwiched,balsamic can be put on chips ,and finally always call them eggs 😅😅😅😅makes grandma laugh everytime
Their chemistry is intoxicating
He who rests, rusts. “Use it or lose it”
Valerie is getting more and more beautiful ! 😊❤😊
isnt she?? ♥ ♥
They both are lovely. Such a nice couple.
😂
The saying "It's raining cats and dogs" has quite a dark origin: When stray cats or dogs die, they usually retreat back into alleys or smaller side roads. When the rain was strong enough, those animals were washed out into the street, which turned into the saying "It's raining (so much), cats and dogs (are washed out into the street)."
This is an apocryphal story if I've ever heard one, but kudos! 😂
Ich bin jedes Mal überrascht, wie gut *sie* englisch spricht❣Die Aussprache und alles! 😍
*You are a nice couple.* Very nice❣
it's crazy how British her accent is - I am quite flabbergasted! but him living abroad for so long has made his more neutral.
my wife is from the north of england, and her accent has become so neutral after 12 years of living abroad (and many years before that in a very international environment), some people can't even tell if she is from England, America, or Canada.
I used to have a bit of british in my speech when I lived in the UK but it disappeared very quickly and only stayed in the ways I write favourite, colour or centre; the words that I use for things.
Valerie loves Liam's struggle with German pronunciations - so funny!
Maybe you don't notice, it's mutual. You just don't notice Varlerie's mistakes.
In the shorts, are they 2 diferrent people? 2 males, maybe twins?
"Wer rastet, der rostet" = "You snooze, you lose!"
Legend has it that Liam is still looking for the snowman.
Thank you very much for the video version of your podcast. I love both versions a lot and I’m looking forward to the next one.
Vielen Dank! Ihr zwei seid so süß. Ich freue mich auf die Zungenbrecher.
You two are so cute. I look forward to the tongue-twisters.
So much better to see your facial expressions. I am the one of few, who asked for it. And I very much appreciate it!
I really like the podcast, great to listen to and informative.
Greetings from Austria!
PS: I am also very happy about the video on the podcast!
As a Proud Austrian i say we are better!
Ich mag das Kleid von Frau Zimmerman. Sehr schön.

Valerie querying raining cats and dogs reminded me of a story my partner tells. She is a fluent German speaker who was teaching English at a German University. During a lesson the class was discussing the day's topic and amongst themselves said "Yes but she said...." Now "she" in that context in English is a minor faux pas. Without thinking my partner said "She ? She is the cat's mother". An old fashioned idiom to discourage children from using 'she' in that context. Cue 20 minute confusion about where the cat came from, why the cat's mother was involved and what was the name of A: the cat and B: the cat's mother and what are the rules about proper nouns for domestic animals. As for raining cats and dogs, it is almost certainly one of those cases where English uses a nonsense term because it is nonsense. See also Nolens volens/Willy nilly.
same for my partner, shes speaks latin american spanish and is like i like cats, so its ok hahahaha
This was unnecessarily hard to parse. Try not getting things mixed up when being bilingual
Blessings to you both and all your loved ones. Thank you 👍😊 Lamh Laidir An Uachtar
In English we do say, "it's bucketing down".
Yeah, "it's raining buckets" is pretty normal in Sussex/Hampshire where grew up.
Ah, listen! Liam closing in Swabian: "Bis zum nächschden mal."😄
I love you guys so much! Please do more! Love from Australia 🦘🌏
Liam, what are your 2 dogs, how come we've never see them? Let's see the dogs! Ich bin so froh, dass wir mehr von Valerie sehen, sie ist reizend und erinnert mich körperlich und mit ihrer Wärme an meine liebe deutsche Freundin Sabine.
The bell switch-language idea is great, because many of us are interested in german(y), that's how we came here.
Love you guys....And Liam you are a legend...Keep it up
Found your channel via your funny shorts. Cheers from England ❤
I think i'd be cool for a german segment with english captions
Strangely . . . "It's coming down in buckets" seems perfectly good English to me. Or . . . "It's really bucketing down!". Quite normal. Back in the wonderful land of Oz.
Valerie und Liam, schöner Podcast
Please add the German section but add English subtitles. Thank you & all the best with the podcast. 😊
Bier auf Wein das lass sein; Wein auf Bier das rat' ich Dir.. i learn this from a German friend.. All the way from Malaysia
I know I'd like some German added. Maybe a segment at the end of the podcast?
BTW, I'm a heritage speaker with decent everyday conversational and listening skills, but awful grammar and minimal knowledge of more technical vocabulary. (Unfortunately my mom didn't speak much German with me growing up, so I got it all from Muzzy, my trips to Germany, some language classes at the Germanic American Institute in elementary school, and also through junior high and high school, but still I was mostly able to skate by on what of the language I had internalized without really mastering new grammar.)
I love both of you!
Murmeltier = "marmot" in English - but in the US the term is "groundhog/woodchuck/whistlepig" but that is a totally other marmot genus than those living in the Alps.
If I remember correctly the "raining cats + dogs" saying is actually just and "abbreviation" for "It´s raining heavily. Get´the cats and dogs in" which as "abbreviation" then became an idiom for "heavy rainfall".
"Wer A sagt muß auch B sagen" actually means something a long those lines "Who starts something has to finish it as well - or - Who starts something has to stick with it" or "When chosen a path then no U-turns"
Talking about accents, I really enjoy Valerie's combination of fantastic German accent in combination with pronunciations she has clearly picked up from Liam, particularly the glottal stops. Hearing Valerie saying, for example, "be'er" ("better") in a German accent fills me with weird immeasurable joy 😁😁
Love the work that both of you do for you channels and truly appreciate this podcast and what you're trying to do with it - looking forward to seeing what the future holds for it! x
Valerie's "sumfin" ("something") is also almost painfully adorable
Not German efficiency, but perhaps austere beauty:
sunday walk -> Sonntagsspaziergang
inlet -> Feuerwehreinlass
Speaking of Hikes here is one I recommend. Not too difficult but very beautiful:
Bavaria: Waitzinger Alm to Rotwandhaus through the Pfanngraben. That is absolutely lovely. And then onwards via the Soinsee to Bayrisch Zell.
Ah ge schleich di. Heast auf mit der Werbung.
Liam ist jetzt zu alt. Zeit, in den Ruhestand zu gehen! Good on you, mate. Your content is awesome. Love from Australia!
BTW: I took my family to a local German restaurant because of watching you. I mean, I wasn't that impressed with German food, but the point is that you are making people interested in Germany. You should hit up their tourism minister for sponsorship!
I now want to learn German, it’s such a cool language
Hahaha I definitely get why Liam said snowman. The words "aus Eimern" sound like "Ei Mann" (egg man) to me
Drei Bier sind auch ein Schnitzel
"a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut"
31:54 that shocked reaction was great haha
In the shorts, are they 2 diferrent people? 2 males, maybe twins?
Danke für Eure Videos, ich versuche mein Englisch zu verbessern
This guy the reason i am learning Deutsch
Sehr gut 👍
das ist gut
She rocks. ❤💪

Your videos are very interesting 👍🏻
You both having a podcast is like that that one Seinfeld episode in which Kramer rebuilds the set of the Merv Griffin show in his apartment and invites George, Jerry and Elaine for interviews.
It will be great if you start adding some of Deutsch. ( I'm learning deutsch, and your reels in Instagram is really helpful). I Love your content!!
I live in Bavaria as a native English speaker, and in regards to the "accented English" I would love to know how Germans hear English accented German and just know. I am probably A2 most days, but have been living here coming up on 2 years and feel that my basics of ordering can't be that bad, but people ALWAYS switch to English. Love this series and I am glad to not be the only one suffering through watching Love Island UK right now.
I try to practice German so German-only content would be nice! Doesnt have to be part of the podcast specifically
Also i thought the one about the blind chicken was gonna be the one that goes like "a stopped clock is right twice per day"
Wer rastet, der rostet - lol 🤣 40:50
43:10 the full saying in English is ‘Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ’ , basically saying that just because two people have the same idea doesn’t mean they’re smart. Or to put it another way, they are probably more fools than great minds.
Cause the attribute of a great mind, is to be unique. The rest we could just call an "average guy".
This is actually pretty wholesome. I love your shorts bro, so good. So are you two a couple? Cuz i like the idea of a couple just chatting together on youtube and sharing the experience.
Die Frau spricht so perfekt englisch.. 🎉Wie kommt denn das? Ich dachte, sie wäre deutsch? 🤔
You guys are a good looking couple, indeed. I love to watch your channel!
Misery loves company, accidents come in threes
Did the German thing in Hunstanton: Walked 3 hours up and down the town and on the beach. 😝
I stayed in Düsseldorf, Germany for 6 years from 2007 till 2013 . I admire them as the most hardworking and principled people in the world just like Japanese. Very careful about the time and caring about others . they will join the meetings 2 minutes earlier and will never make you wait. In local train , even with the extreme crowd, you will never see anyone shouting or screaming or any kind of push. Never saw anyone breaking traffic rules no matter how bad was traffic jams in holiday season. For them , the problem has to be resolved 100 percent and you can’t convince them with a patch up work. I had some of best experience in consulates for my Visa extensions. Everyone used to be very helpful. I hope it’s still the same .
Hi! Greetings from Costa Rica! Good luck with the trip, and consider making a livestream!
PS: With you I'm getting used to the English accent and also I'm starting to learn German so there are some words I can understand! Love u guys!
Nice episode. Got a comment about some of your content, specifically the shorts about the supermarket checkout. So, I reviewed that video in preparation for our vacation to Germany! I have to say I'm appalled to see none of the stereotypes seem to apply in this small town. Everyone is super-friendly, chitchatting, and cracking up jokes, and I don't even speak German! I just laugh along and say danke😅 Where is the efficency? Where is the old German guy judging me making a fool of myself not being fast enough at the checkout? Jokes aside, lovely country. I get why you've decided to stay. Keep up the good work 👍
I listened to this podcast episode yesterday, then voila! you post the filmed episode. And I’m enjoying it all over again; this time watching your faces and body language. You’re in love. You’re a good looking couple. You’re in synch as a couple. God bless.
On the other hand "Es regnet junge hunde." or "es regnet hunde und katzen" is perfectly acceptable where I'm from (lower saxony). no idea why dogs though, maybe because after a heavy rain the hiding places are flooded and all the strays come out so they don't drown?
Also, thanks so much for uploading the video, it's been a blast
Sonntagsspaziergang must be. It also has to be put into the Duden (or is it already?) or into „German for Dummies…“
I love these twoThey are such a cute couple
Zum 'es gießt wie aus Eimern' oder 'it's raining cats and dogs', do you know the French expression??
Wie sagt man das auf Französisch?
🤔
......
Il pleut come vache qui pisse
And I'll translate it for you...
It rains like a cow pissing.
Es regnet wie eine pinkelnde Kuh.
🤣🤣🤣
Liam u're fine .. Gdluck .tq !❤
“May as well be hung fora sheep as a lamb” Is a good English one. It’s a different emphasis than “in fora Penny, in for a pound”
Valeries accent is so little, Germans cannot hear it, only native speakers do. And she's just very confident and never shows a millisecond of beeing insecure about how to say things.
This gives the impression of "she must have been raised bilungual" or even "she must be british".
What an adorable couple you two are. Grüße aus Frankfurt. ♥
Dreißig Minuten vorher, wie pünktlich!
I could beat that time ... 100 meters is not so bad for under 2 minutes. I could compete in those realms. Time for tea or coffee along the way in fact. Ausgezeichnet!
Im learning Portuguese and after i want to learn German. Tbh German seems daunting af, i really want to learn it though
I think that's my favorite German saying: Wir sind nicht aus Zucker 😂
It's rarely used. People love raincoats and umbrellas and all the things making you behave like sugar in the rain.
Can we see the dogs? 🙂
Liam's wife can be quite sweet. Sie kann wenn sie will😉
Raining cats and dogs: Its because cats and dogs used to be able to walk on the rooves of houses, when the rain fell the slates became slippery and they would fall off the side.
Ich bin English, obvs and I love the way your wife speaks English, her accent etc. Where did she learn the language?
Die junge Frau ist so nett und hübsch )
Tegernsee Forster is so different from me yesterday: I saw people at a Lake Michigan beach-with a huge dog and I told them they would have a $500 fine to show for their visit that I would personally witness and sign if they did not immediately leash the dog. Bin ich aber preussisch, kein Bayer…
Yes, I guess the American would either stay silent or call the cops.
Please do some sketches on the words that mean full paragraphs.. like 'backpfeifengesicht' 😂
Hi Valerie🙋♀️wo hast du so gut englisch sprechen gelernt?
Seid ihr beiden euch in Deutschland das erste mal begegnet?❤❤
Tolles Format! Mich würde interessieren, welchen engl. Dialekt Ihr beide sprecht?
Eselsbrücke. Ass-bridge. Nice 😂
Great...it's interesting how a born German woman speaks better than a native Briton...:) you are super many greetings from the Czech Republic Čermná in Silesia...:)
Really? Her English is great but she uses the wrong tense very often
i liked your performance as Lance Corporal Schofield in 1917
