You know you’ve been in Germany too long when…
Heading back “home” gets harder and harder! There are so many things that I constantly miss about German when I head back to Canada for a visit. Fresh bread? Not the same. Easy transport? HA.
Here’s a list of just 10 things that I miss about Germany when I go back to Canada. What about you? What could you never give up after having lived in Germany?

It is always about comparison. German Railroads to other off Europe is so great, but compared to Switzerland, where no train should be more than 3 minutes late, we are often so bad. Same when I went to England for a semester. I heard Swedish and Dutch students speaking English and thought "I am so bad in Englisch!" Then I heard a bit later French and Spanish Students speaks and thought: "Well, I am quite good." Thank you for a different view on Germany from the outside.
Immer wieder schön Nordamerikanern zuzuhören, was sie an Europa und Deutschland so schätzen (oder auch mal nicht so mögen). Da bekommt man wieder einen besseren Blick für das eigene Land. Wenn man drin steckt, sieht man doch viele negativer, weil man immer nur sieht was alles schlechter (geworden) ist. Und dann dieser erfrischende Blick von Menschen, die ganz anders aufgewachsen sind, obwohl diese Länder einen höheren Lebensstandard versprechen (in unseren Köpfen)
und man bekommt mit was man besser machen kann :)
@@FANSpiele so ist es
Ich finde es spannend, wie viele Deutsche, Kanäle wie diesen sehen. Ich denke, dass ist unser Nationalstolz. wir brauchen keine Fahnen und den ganzen Kram. Anderseits ist es erschreckend, wenn man dann auf FB irgendwelche Mitteilungen ließt, bei denen man sich schämt, die gleiche Luft wie diese Leute zu atmen. Wir können Stolz sein auf unser Land!
@@dancelord0708 ja natürlich Stolz kann sich auf viele Arten zeigen :) es gibt natürlich eine auch eine Schlechte art und eine gute wie man es mit Menschen Kommuniziert. aber ich denke jeder der nach Deutschland kommen möchte und die Lebensart,Kultur usw anehmen möchte ist Willkommen
@@dancelord0708 Ich weiß nicht ob Stolz der richtige Begriff dafür ist. Ich bin hauptsächlich scheiße froh dass ich hier und nirgendwo anders zur Welt gekommen bin (naja ok, mit Norwegen oder Schweden wäre ich auch sehr einverstanden gewesen). Wir haben hier seit 77 Jahren keine Kriege mehr, quasi keine Naturkatastrophen (bis auf die Klimakatastrophe die grad so richtig kommt), einen verhältnismäßig hohen Sozialstandard (selbst unsere Ärmsten sind im Vergleich zu mancher Länder Mittelschicht "reich") und alles in allem stabile politische Verhältnisse. Es ist hier auch nicht alles Gold was glänzt, aber man, froh darf man auf alle Fälle sein, ein Deutscher zu sein. Dafür getan hat man ja letztlich wenig, das waren ja die Eltern ;) Aber man kann auf das Stolz sein, was man selbst zum Wohl dieses Landes beigetragen hat. Und sei es auch nur seine Steuern zu zahlen
One more thing to love the two blankets in German beds: You can have a blanket for someone, who has really much body heat and one for someone, who is always feeling cold and have them sleep comfortably in the same bed! Und weiterhin alles Gute mit der Schwangerschaft!
Totally true! I always have a thicker blanket 😝 (but zero blankets when I’m pregnant as I produce too much heat then! Haha) Und vielen lieben Dank 🥰
I like to fold both blankets and put them at the end of my bed during the day, all tidy .
My wife and I made a little Trip to Italy a few weeks ago. We have been to several Hotels there, and we didn't get separate blankets in any of them. We do not really have a problem with sharing one big blanket, but it simply makes us sleep less good.
"Bis später!" Du weißt wir nehmen das Ernst?! ring ring 🤣🤣 Danke das du hier bist!

@@tasminoben686 Grüße zurück - wohne allerdings mehr im Süden... so ca. 25km nördlich von München. Im Osten - das war einmal vor langer Zeit ;) Musste mir bei Arno's Kommentar nur vorstellen, wenn wir uns alle bei Jenna treffen, um ihr zur Geburt ihres zweiten Kindes zu gratulieren...
I had to laugh when you took a moment to remember the word canola oil, which we can thank Canada for (the name at least).
Brötchen are so amazing, they have their own setting on the oven.
Meine liebe Jenna, ich bin immer wieder positiv überrascht, wie absolut sauber dein Deutsch ist. Da ist nicht der kleinste Akzent einer muttersprachlichen Kanadierin zu hören. Klar kommen Klangbild des westlichen Rhein-Ruhrgebiets durch, aber das lässt sich wahrscheinlich gar nicht vermeiden, einen solchen Dialekt-geprägten Klang anzunehmen, wenn man dort wohnt. Danke für deine liebevolle Beschreibung unseres gemeinsamen Landes, denn egal ob als Kanadierin oder gebürtiger Deutscher, wir teilen uns dieses Land. Ich bin jedes mal froh, wieder auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurückgebracht zu werden, das nicht alles in meinem Land den Bach runter geht, sondern vieles doch noch ziemlich gut bis sehr gut ist. Danke dafür. So eine Erdung tut immer wieder gut.
vielen Dank für die wunderbare Kommentar! Ich musste sogar meinem Mann zeigen, wie süß es war. Danke, dass du mich zum Lächeln bringst! 🥰💛
für "den wunderbaren Kommentar". Der Kommentar - männlich. I always think, Germans are little teachers and first correct the question they get, and then answers. That was really frustrating in England, every citizen was so appreciated you spoke English, that no one corrects you. Even if you thought: "That was not the correct word or grammar." They always smiled and answered you question.
Der Jenna, thank you soooo much for this many compliments 'bout Germany
That is my problem with English! I understand very much, but as I never have anyone to speak to, I just don´t get a word out of my mouth ;)
There are huge quality differences when it comes to bread depending on where you buy it. I eat bread every day and buy it only once or twice a week at a real bakery. When you buy bread at the supermarket or at a bakery chain you can not expect the same quality. Of course fresh bread is always better but a good bread is still good after a few days.
Yes, and it also makes a huge difference how you store your bread. If you just keep it in the paper bag, it won't last. I use a cotton bag with bee wax on the inside. Bread stays fresh for days in it.
@@sonjaenste647 that’s interesting, I never heard of that! Thank you. Wo gibt’s denn so einen Beutel? Hab ich noch nie gesehen 🤔
I know what you mean. When I moved back to Germany from the US after living there for 6 years I had to think twice about some words in German and my pronounciation was bad as well. German is my mother tongue but after speaking English for so long and listening to it you start to think and dream in English as well. That's why I constantly read and watch videos in English so I won't forget.
I always feel like I’m stuck in between 🙈 can’t speak perfect English anymore, but also not there yet with German!
@@lifeingermany_ Even though I'm a German living in Germany, I have the same problem. I consume so much content in English in my free time that I sometimes struggle to explain certain topics in German, because I've only ever thought about them in English. Or I'm starting a sentence only to realise that this concept is thought and expressed in a different way in German, requiring me to start over.
I was thinking in eglisch too in may puberty. Back then I watched US-Shows most of the time and read books in english. I lost some of my english and I don't think in english anymore but hell... Living in Germany as a German and only remembering the english words was sometimes a real struggle
@@lifeingermany_ I think it's just a consequence of being bilingual. I speak both German and English fluently, yet I find myself searching for words every now and then... in either language. Context is really important, too, I found. When I'm at the computer, I almost exclusively use English - both written and spoken. When I was on a Discord call with a German person a while back, and they decided to switch to German (everyone else left - they spoke English), I REALLY struggled with words. And it's my native language!
That was very nice and next week we do "Things I miss about Canada when I am in Germany."
I'd say there's definitely a lot of Germans that would also think going to a place like Paris just for one weekend is crazy. Of course there's quite a few Germans that do weekend trips like that (especially younger people), but many Germans share this mentality of "If I go to a place like Paris, I'm gonna spend at least a week there". I'm also one of those people, travelling to a vacation destination is always a lot of effort and often stressful, I'm not gonna put myself through hours of travelling to only stay in a place for two days lol
It's so cool, I grew up in Düsseldorf and moved away in 2014. So I guess my spot was free for a new gal in the city, glad you got it, you seem very nice :-)
Jenna, I may have a special "Sunday" tip for you since you love German bread / breadrolls you may not have considered yet. As you know, many grocery stores have a small "bake store" at the entrance / exit. There are also small bakeries that sell delicious rolls, but they are not real local bakeries, they just use frozen goods and just heat them up in a convection oven. Except for some "standard" rolls, those goods are usually not available in grocery store freezers to buy. So if you would like to have some of the delicious rolls or a specific kind of bread, politely ask the staff if you can get them "unbaked/frozen" at their counter and ask how long the bread is baked and at what temperature. They will usually tell you that you have to pay the same price as for the ready-baked rolls (won't be able to give you a discount), but they will sell them to you as well. I do this from time to time and store an unbaked loaf or rolls at home in a plastic bag in the freezer for the next weekends / max one month. So on Sunday mornings at home I then bake it myself, let it cool for a few minutes and get it as fresh as possible (still warm) for my Sunday breakfast while the bakery or grocery shops are closed.
Super Tipp - das habe ich auch hin und wieder gemacht. Allerdings besteht mein Frühstück normalerweise lediglich aus Kaffee und Zigarette...
Shes living at Düsseldorf, like me. All bakeries are opend at sunday morning untill 11. And special cake Cafés opend the whole day. Heinemann, the most famous German Konditor for example
What a great tip!! Yes, Sunday mornings at our bakery across from our house are always so stressful 🙈 a line up 200 meters down the road!
Lieber Opa Andre, vielleicht wusstest Du nicht, dass Jenna schon seit vielen Jahren in Deutschland lebt und diese Videos hauptsächlich für englischsprachige Zuschauer macht. Aber sehr nett von Dir, alles so nett zu erklären. Gruß aus NRW.
@@staplafara Ähm, ich glaube, das sollte eher mir gelten? Opa Andre gave his tip in the appropriate manner. And I know that Jennas target group is mainly English speakers - but a German comment once in a while can do no harm, don't you agree? Even more so as she herself tends to slip sometimes and uses Denglish😉. In 9.9 of 10 cases you will find me complying to the etiquette of this channel...🖖 - schönen Gruß zurück aus Hessen
I still think you are so lucky that you came to Düsseldorf. There are areas even here in nrw wich make you feel totally different when you have to live there.

Congratulations on the new baby. Glad to learn about your channel. Most of hour travelers stop briefly for layover. But seems we should explore Germany at some point. This is a good video.
I`m glad that you feel so comfortable here in Germany and how nice that you`ll soon be a mom again Congratulations on that by the way I´m just the type of person who loves also nature and the beautiful yellow rapeseed fields did you know that rapeseed oil is made from rapeseed we always use it for cooking i am of the opinion that here in Germany the children can have a nice childhood my son and my daughter are already grown up 30 and 25 years old.🥰💞👍
Your vlog just made my desire to immigrate to Germany stronger! ;)
🥰🥰💛💛
You may have noticed it, that there is "toast brot" in the bigger supermarkets that is called "American Sandwich". It´s usally a little bit larger and little bit more moist than regular german toast.
... and if I´m allowed to say that, you´re a beautiful pregnant lady.
The problem with the german public transport system is not the comparison to North America or any other place in the world, it´s the difference in comparison to the german system of 25-30 years ago.
@@gabortoth3706 you’re right! I always have a hard time understanding why many Germans aren’t more thankful for the system… but as an immigrant, I haven’t seen the “lack of” progress being made which I can imagine is super frustrating! 💛
@@gabortoth3706 and thank you so much for the nice compliment too 🥰 PS. Yes haha this American sandwich bread I but sometimes to make french toast! 🤩

I'm shocked right now that you're 5 years younger than me. XD You seem to have done so many big steps already.
Haha you mean babies/marriage steps? If so, I’ve also noticed that I’m following more of a “Canadian timeline” than a German one. 🙈 In Germany, a lot of the women were 5-10 years older than me in my birth prep classes or at the Standesamt but in Canada, all my friends have kids similar in age and got married earlier in life. I always find it so interesting 🥰
@@lifeingermany_ Exactly, and you're so strong in a sense that you managed to start a new life on another continent. And let's not forget your influence: whenever you upload something, thousands of people are willing to listen in a matter of hours. 👏 I have three degrees from university, a "Diplom", a bachelor, and a master, so I haven't wasted my time, but that alone doesn't bring any sense of accomplishment. Still have to find a way to make money with those, and if I manage to marry before I'm 50 then I'm a lucky person. XD (Not exactly the German timeline either, haha. 😄 But you're quick it seems, yes.)
Wenn du Spielparks magst, dann versuche den Maximilian Park in Hamm. Deine Kids scheinen im richtigen Alter zu sein. Unsere Jungs haben wir , speziell im Sommer, wenn die Wasseranlagen an sind, nicht weg bekommen. Decke ausbreiten ein paar Snacks in der Tasche und jeder schau ne Stunde auf die Kleinen, während der andere mal die Augen schließt oder Zeit für ein Buch hat. Und am Ende noch durchs Schmetterlingshaus....so sieht ein perfekter Tag aus. LG aus dem Ruhrpott
Lady, I don't want to be rude, but apart from your flawless English you've been totally assimilated by Germany. Watching you speak about my home country, even when ranting about it's quirks and failures makes me appreciate it more and more every time. And your enthusiasm comes across as really being genuine and not part of the over the top manierism North Americans are usually known for. If, for whatever reason, the need arises for exreme measures to prolong your stay here in Germany, notify me and we will arrange your adoption...😉😁💛 (ehem, no further strings attached, of course - just to be clear) Reading the above I realize I sound like a creepy stalker - but it is meant to be a joke about how much you obviously like Germany. Again - no creepy thoughts on my side here.
Hahah thank you for your funny and yet heart warming message 🙃 I do feel like Germany is my home now 🥰
Flamedealer........... i agree.
Can you make a video on how to make a German bed. I just don’t get it lol but I like the idea of my own blanket!
we use an white blanket 200cmx80cm or mostly 200cmx90cm and bedding/ bed linen or what "Bettwäsche" is called in english and yeah if we make our bed we fold our blanket in half and use an thinner Blanket to cover the bed. what we called "Kuscheldecke" Cuddle blanket its an fluffy blanket i don't know if you can imagine it atleast what we have here
Deine deutsche Aussprache ist wirklich sehr gut!
Canada ♥ or how we spell it here: Kanada still ♥ ... I don't know much about Canada, but I feel I like it! O_O ♥
Love you too
I never bin in Canada because when I used my Translater he said ( keiner da.In Kanada.) just a joke! Love you and your videos.
Nice! :)
Funny thing about prices: I visited the US as a teenager with my father in the 90ies quite a lot. Back then it was super cheap with respect to clothes and groceries (almost 50%). Inflation must have hit hard on the US in the meantime although it is the most capitalist's country
We also used to drive across the border to buy clothes and gas 😝 but Canada is now the “more affordable” option! I also usually bring clothes home from Canada when I’m visiting and now it’s cheaper to buy in germany!
Zwar sehr oberflächlich aber: das Oberteil ist ja wohl mal der Wahnsinn 😍

Now, I really want to know the English term for "Tagesdecke" :) !?

Hallo Jenna, eigentlicht ist es nicht meine Art mich über deine videos zu äußern aber ich finde es so Geil dir zuzuhören das es mir egal ist wie lange sie dauern, was sehr wichtig für mich ist.Nach 10 oder 15 minuten ist eigentlich schluss für mich aber bei dir bekomme ich nicht genug. Ich bin 1966 nach Amerika von Deutschland ausgewandert. (illinois Chicago) Ich war gerade 17 Jahre alt und es war die beste zeit in meinem leben.( it open my mind). I met so many wonderfull people and I love America. But what happend to all sos peoples ? I whatsh the News about America and i am really disaponted whats happening there.. Schade das ich schon so alt bin aber vor 40 jahren hätte ich dich angebackert. Hello Jenna, actually it's not my way to comment on your videos but I find it so cool to listen to you that I don't care how long they last, which is very important to me. After 10 or 15 minutes it's actually over for me but I can't get enough of you. I emigrated to America from Germany in 1966. (Ilinois Chicago) I was just 17 years old and it was the best time of my life.( it open my mind). I met so many wonderful people and I love America. But what happened to all sos peoples? I whatsh the News about America and I am really disaponted whats happening there.. It's a shame that I'm so old, but 40 years ago I would have baked you. Es ist ganz schön seltsam das mein Translater übersetzt Anbaggern mit Baked. This could be another thing for you to talk about. By the way my real name is Ron.
An American told me, he met an Canadian girl wo spokes such an excellent english, that he was not able to believe she came from outside of the USA. Maybe, you canadian girls, start with french. It sounds better anyway. :)

"...something you better intend on eating it the same day because the second day it's going to taste like crap..." Have a try, put your German bakery "Schwarzbrot" into a plastic bag (incorporating as less air as possible), and put it into the fridge. The cold temperature will prevent it from molding, and the plastic bag from getting dry. So, no problem having the same bread for about a week. Cut it right in the middle and take the slices alternately from both halves. Now, put them back together so the cut surface gets "sealed" that way and put it back into the bag. Mission accomplished. If you've bought it sliced already, store it in the freezer and take as many slices as you need. Put them into the toaster and you're fine. For "Brötchen" you can use a wet paper towel (AKA "ZEWA") to moisture its surface, afterward, put it on a toaster (or the pre-heated oven) to make it crusty again.
Oh my goodness! Hahh what a fantastic comment! Thank you so much for these life hacks! I’m always sooo excited to try new things that make a big difference!! (I’ve just fallen in love with using denture tablets to clean my aluminum water bottles - it’s been life changing! 🙈🤣)
Tagesdecke? SPREADSHEET
Haha I still can’t remember the English word! Google translate says bedspread… I think that’s correct 🤣
I was so sure…. and wrong at the same time. Of course bedspread is right. Wish all the best for you and the baby!

Just look at the Netherlands which is better at all levels.
Hi Jenna, I found the story interesting that when you visit Canada you are offered all sorts of things, but the host does not expect a guest to actually want to take advantage of the offers. That's something they call insidious (hinterfotzig) in Bavaria. A negative response is expected, so I'm offering it first to put myself in a better light, although I'm in no way actually trying to offer anything. Cultural differences are exciting. Have a nice time in your vacation.
Hinterfotzig! What a word! Haha so neat though! Yes - this happens all the time in Canada. Or they’re not direct enough. My mom said yesterday “you can open your window if you’d like” while in the car and I thought to myself “nah, I’m good..” and then realized a few minutes later I’m losing my Canadian touch 🤣🤣 what she really meant was “can you open your window please!” 🙈🙈 Then I got all upset asking her why she couldn’t just be more direct instead of making me play mind games 🤣
👍👍🥰🥰
why not stay in Germany?
That’s the plan 🥰 but I try and go home to Canada for a few weeks a year! It’s hard being without family here. 💛

Rapeseed vc. Canola: Is that really a topic in the English speaking world? I heard that people avoid the original (biological) name because the first half sounds like sx. violence and instead call it Canola (which is actually a rapeseed oil brand). Luckily, the German "Raps" does not bear this issue.
That's why I was really shocked, when I first read the name. I thought it must have been a mistake.
That’s definitely likely so! I actually think someone mentioned in one of my videos similarly that Wicks Medinait for example was changed from Vicks to Wicks in Germany because of how it’s pronounced 😝😝
@@lifeingermany_ That may have been me, actually :-) Did I already mention that I find your German pronunciation absolutely amazing? In most cases, it is quite easy to tell by the accent where a speaker comes from (America, France, Italy, Poland, ...), but by the short bits that you said in this video, I could not say whether you're a native speaker or not. There are people living in Germany for decades and still fail with ch, r (starting and ending), l, vowels, Umlaut, roundedness, length, diphthongs, and so on; you're doing that perfectly even in casual speech.
