We live 3 km from the German border in the Netherlands and we love to go there. I would be very hard to find better neighbours than the Germans. And its indeed an beautifull country.
Lol i live in germany but for me netherland is much more beautiful
Bedankt.....🤗
My city has a suburb that is half german half dutch. I think that is so cool when one side of the street is german the other dutch.
im in cologne,and my parents saw a border.i didnt. :)
You would be hard 😂
As a Dutch guy, I really had tears in my eyes when seeing the reaction of your mum being for the first time in Europe in this beautiful place like Schwabisch Hall with his fairytale scenery. And really it looks like a filmset, but as a European I know better. Our neighbour Germany is a beautiful country and special the South of it, it's always a pleasure to visit them.
Thanks for the tulips! 🙂
Love our brothers, the Dutch ❤
Someone knows what's good. Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I love the south the most too.
i ❤DE and NL.
His mom is so sweet! Loved seeing them enjoying the scenery together
You really don't appreciate this country enough when you've grown up here, and I am including myself in that.
That is absolutely true. I was born and raised in Cologne. I recently moved to a new home with my wife a little outside of Cologne ins "Bergische Land", and for the most part it is absolutely stunning, how beautiful it is here. Old towns, a lot of countryside, stables, etc. It definitely helped to appreciate the beautiful spots in Germany more again.
My son is dual....I saw it as a brown Brit and love and respect your cool nation. Yes I speak German .
I live in the more country side near the Alpen in the alpenvorland and I always thought it’s beautiful haha but I wanna visit some “big city” of germany like Köln, Berlin or smt
As Germans we should be more grateful for how beautifuel our cities and country are.
Same
germans love seeing this. They feel all proud and warm inside.
if i feel cold inside i go see a doctor, everything below 36 degrees C is frightning.
and with good reasons
@@bytezero3818 German detected. 😂
I (german) love seeing this, because it reminds me to appreciate my country a little more (often). You get too used to your comfort very quickly :-/
it just makes me feel... cozy
Maybe now you know why it is so amazing for us Germans to watch somebody seeing our country for the first time :D
genau ... Germanynception :)
Scwäbisch Hall ist echt wunderschön. So traditionell...genial
germany is wack. You guys are like robots.
conversation failed :D
@@error404namenotfound7 wo sind die?
Willkommen in Deutschland, Mama Nalf :)
She's probably MAlf. ;)
Idiots detected...
And best thing about German people is that, if you dont speak german you dont know if they wanna hang out with you or sent you to the depths of worst nightmare :)
Bartosz Betka hahahaha how come that you have this kind of opinion???
MAMMA IS ITALY ;KEINE DEUTSCHER WORT ist mit 2 M,wie die abba ''mamma mia'' in deutsch is MUTTER
As a German, let me say: Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and wonder with us. Really makes me appreciate my home country more and lets me see it with fresh eyes. Fun fact: Around 4:06 to 4:08 you are passing a little blue sign on a post, with a yellow shell on it. That means you have been walking on the "Camino de Santiago", an old and famous christian pilgrim's road, which stretches all across Europe towards Santiago in Spain. Maybe you felt a bit of its magic there, too. Cheers! :-)
Es ist schön durch die Augen deiner Mom zu schauen... Da merkt man erstmal wieder was man hat?!
Your mom is the sweetest. I loved seeing Germany through her eyes.
Antoinette Emily you are sweet too :)
Highly recommend Antoinette's vlogs. Lovely family ❤️
germany could look in nearly every town like this, when the americans didnt bombed them...
@@Rappi1990 oof y u flirtin :'P
@@seelenwinter6662 You really mean, Hitler should´ve better not set the world on fire for no reason??? Wow, that´s new. GERMANY caused the mass destruction taken place in WW II, nobody else. Get a life, Idiot.
Nalf is so proud to show mum "his" town, nice! That´s the kind of american enthusiasm that I like. ;)
Yes, that's true - the americans show their enthusiasm for so many things, what the germans are not able to do...
Ikr but Im not sure if they're actually impressed or just being nice. when my peeps from switzerland "love" something, they actually love it. americans are like OMG this is sooo cute, I cant believe it, love it
@iGod Ich verstehe was du meinst und diese "aufgesetzte" Begeisterung von einigen Amerikanern ist mir nicht fremd. Aber in diesem Video sieht man echte Begeisterung und das fand ich wirklich toll.
Würde mal gerne ein Mohammed mit seiner Mutter Fatima belauschen, wenn er durch eine deutsche Stadt fährt! Konstantinopel wird dann wieder zu Istanbul. Die Kirche bekommt Minarett und wird zur Moschee, usw. Das ist auch der Grund, warum sich ethnisch nahestende Volksgruppen viel besser integrieren lassen. In vielen größeren westdeutschen Großstädten müssen sich Deutsche in vielen Stadtteilen bei den Muslimen integrieren oder wegziehen.
Anna Bolika Auf den abstrusen Gedankensprung muss man erst kommen... Aber wenn die beiden durch Süddeutschland fahren, können sie tatsächlich türkische Spuren entdecken. Es wird vermutet, dass das Vorbild für Zwiebelhauben auf Kirchtürmen der osmanische Helm gewesen sein könnte, die nach der Türkeninvasion 1529 in Europa bekannt wurden. Ebenso ist es wahrscheinlich, dass es auch auf byzantinische Architektur zurückgeht, die über Venedig bei uns gelandet ist. Tja, die Türken und wir waren uns schon immer näher als man denkt... ...und am 18. Juni 1941wurde das sogar besiegelt! Diese Info müsste dir Anna B. besonders gefallen...
Love Europe! Honestly, I don't know any American who wouldn't want to stay forever when visiting Europe. The difference in quality of life is night and day.
I often wish we would make choices-more self-reflective, less selfish-choices as Americans so it would be the kind of society where we ourselves would love to vacation.
A lot of it is our car culture. Americans always seem to love how walkable and friendly European cities are. This happens when you don’t have to cross miles of asphalt just to do basic stuff like go to the grocery store.
You really can’t generalize „Europe“ as a whole as there are huge differences when it comes to the citizens and country’s wealth. Some parts of south/eastern Europe can look like the 3rd world.
yep!
I wouldn't totally agree, I know some people who emigrated to the US or whose ancestors emigrated and despite having visited Germany often quite near to Schwäbisch Hall, they didn't stay. These people are including a friend of my mother and the whole family of my great-grandmothers sister. They sometimes came and visited their family living between Aalen and Stuttgart but none of them returned. Greetings from Germany!
So I had tears in my eyes by 00:48. The wonder on your mother's face and the happy pride on yours.
Your mum must have been bursting with pride the first time she saw you in a shop speaking fluent German. Really great to see her enjoying herself ☺
We're used to see what's going wrong in our country. All it takes is a video like this to remember that this country is actually quite beautiful and that we're not always the "bad Germans". Thanks for sharing this! Your mom is a really lovely person.
Gotta say, even for European standards this town is extremely picturesque. Ruhrgebiet cities or Stuttgart downtown paint another picture ;) Great to see your mom loves it so much! Greetings from Düsseldorf :)
You must not forget cause of heavy air raids bombing during WW2 many cities in Germany were totally destroyed same Frankfurt or Cologne or Essen or Dresden
Seeing your mum smile made me love my country even more. Thanks
Nick, I could not believe that this is your mother. She looks like your older sister. I love how she enjoys being in Germany.
*Because she is young and he is very young too, she is younger than me and i look very young too, i am 50 and the Most would say i look like 30 ;)*
🤗🤗🤗🤗😆😆😆😆 Mama Nalfi .... like wine, getting better with age and it sure shows, WOW! (remember, he has siblings too, not just 1 or 2) 😳😳😉😉😉 Damn ..... like an old Bavarian Farm wife, they had many kids so the field work could be done on time spring - fall. Alfierie's .....🤔🤔🤔🤔 makes me think now, but looking at Nalfi's hands i guess EVERYBODY knows the answer 😎
In the US its common to get children at 20 whereas in Germany 30 is more realistic. That's why she looks so young
Come here and get 10 years of your lifetime back....
Schönes Video. Habe mich erinnert als meine Mutti zum ersten mal in Deutschland war (Bin Brasilianer), es war genau so. Ich habe mich sooo für sie gefreut! Ja, man muss sagen, dass Deutschland einfach schön ist!
Ja, allerdings ist Santos (einschließlich der näheren Umgebung) auch sehr schön. Hatte eine E-Mail-Brieffreundin von dort und die hat mal einige tolle Bilder zusammengestellt.
Diego Mayerle ist brasilien nicht viel geiler?lol
Ja Brasilien ist auch sehr schön, von Amazonas bis in den Süden (wo man auch deutsch sprechen kann). Wer neugierig ist, kann nach Blumenau bei Google gucken. Ich komme aus Manaus, wo wir jeden Tag so 39 Grad haben. Auch schön da.
Viel geiler weiß ich nicht. Kann nur sagen, dass dort auch schön ist! Aber deutsches Bier finde ich dort nicht.
Diego Mayerle nicht viele Leute in süden Brasilien sprechen Deutsch. Nachdem wenn man es kann, ist es immer mit einer starke Akzent.
THOUSANDS of hugs for you and your WONDERFUL mum !! Thank you 😘
So cute. As a german myself, I was choked up seeing the gladness of your mother.
Your country is lovely. Wish I could live there, but we’ve shamefully left the EU 🇪🇺 😢
@@videomillsy You still belong to Europe (:
Now the picture is complete. No wonder you are such a nice and positive guy, growing up with a Mom like that. She is absolutely adorable! For me as a German who grew up in Freiburg, which has a similar architecture to Schwäbisch Hall, it's so funny to see your Mom's reaction to the city. 😉
Auch aus Freiburg 💪
Aww, she's so sweet :D good luck at the game!
Soooo fun to see her reacting. I hope she likes the german people as well as the buildings !!! She inspires me even to appreciate my country more !!! A very warm: Welcome to Germany !!!
Schwäbisch Hall ist ja auch echt romantisch 🤩 Mega die Begeisterung für unser Land in euren Gesprächen und Augen zu sehen 😊
Deine Mama ist so süß, schön das Sie sehen kann wie und wo du lebst, man kann sehen das ihr euch nah steht. Ps: du hast die Augen deine Mama.
nalf: out of breath quite a bit mom: hold my beer...
She works for Porsche? Hahhaahhahaha
michaelibk then she MUST be an undercover Porsche worker, hahhahahhaa

prottentogo i exactly thougt the same. :)
that moment when the athletic football player breathes more heavily than his mom... ^^ p.s. welcome to germany mrs. alfieri, enjoy your stay :)
Your mum is literally the cutest and just the most friendliest person EVER!
I just got back from my first trip to Europe. I know the feeling your Mom has. I was the same way. I would move there in a heart beat. I LOVE Germany!!!!
Your mom is adorably happy hahaha
Yes, always nice to see moms happy. :-D
Your mom is lovely! I love seeing people getting excited when visiting a new place.
Germany is fantastic! From a Swede
you have seen the most beautiful town of it. :-) Schwäbisch Hall was never destroyed in any war. That makes the special vibes of this town. Schwäbisch Haller are very open minded. This town had own money and was rich because of its salt. It was a "Freie Reichsstadt" as Hamburg or Nürnberg. Today Schwäbisch Hall is known all over the word because of its Goethe Insititute.
Love goes out! Swede is fantastic too! Ich liebe Schweden ;)
Indeed, Sweden is a beautiful country! I can't wait to visit again!
Your mom is so adorable. Her eyes were really sparkling the whole time :)
I love how excited she is about everything.
❤ Maybe that's stupid, but I teared up a little...saw the love in Nalfs eyes... 💐 Welcome, Mrs. Alfieri! You're just the way I expected you to be...very lovely.
Yes, she is beautiful, inside and out
ME TOO! Now I understand why Nick is the lovely guy he is.
How can someone be so happy 😃 this is what germans need to learn ❤
If you meet your son for the first time in a very long time, isn't natural to be happy?
I was a soldier in the French army in Tubingen in the Seventies. The locals didn't like us much. I guess they considered us, and rightly so, as occupation troops. I was happy to be there though for I followed courses to improve my German.
nobody likes occupation....come back as a friend :-)
Your mom is so beautiful and lovely.
She scores hb 10 out of 10
Ein herzliches Willkommen in Deutschland für deine Mama! Ich wünsche euch eine ganz tolle Zeit, auf dass deine Mom einen tollen und offenen Eindruck von Deutschland und seinen Bewohnern bekommt.
You've got a nice mum, buddy. As to say it in her own words: she's 'magical'
Came across this video for some strange reason. I've been living in Germany for a decade and I totally get your mum's amazement and wonder - I remember myself when I first arrived here. So love her reaction and her enthusiasm! 10 years and 3 kids later, life passes me by and sometimes I forget the beauty of this country, which I now call my home. Thanks for sharing this!
what a nice lady! she seems to be very proud of you, nalf. you contribute more to peace and understanding than the us state department does.
I love the joy in her face, she seems like an awesome Mom.
Mama Nalf: "Great pretzel!" Nalf: "It's 900 years old!"
Hallo, hört doch mal endlich auf, "Pretzel" zu sagen! Ich höre oft von Amerikanern, daß Deutsch so "harsh" klinge; kann es sein, daß das daher kommt, weil Amerikaner deutsche Wörter "harsh" aussprechen? Das hört sich wie Pppprrrretztztzel" an, anstatt "Bretzel" mit einem weichen "B" und einem etwas länger gezogenen "e", das fast wie ein "ä" klingt: so weich und wohlschmeckend, wie ein Brezel ist!
Seeing the excitement of your mum, melted my heart in seconds. She's just such a kind, great person.
Did you cry? I would have totally cried if my mom visited me 😂😭 your mom is the sweetest lady ❤️❤️❤️
Yaay Hayley :D
That kind of is the 'secret' behind the popularity of "Americans opinion on german (this and that)"/"Americans first time (...) in germany" - Videos. Even though we know our country the best, there is a certain honesty and truth to every and each one of these videos of that type, because living here, you'll never be able to experience the "first expression" of germany. I guess that's fascinating for everyone: Getting a diffent perspective on your surroundings. Furthermore it is nice to hear nice things being said about our country, because foreigners, especially americans, usually do not save on amazement and compliments about it. Understandable! Germany is great, but we germans tend to concentrate on what we are doing wrong, what is imperfect, being unsatisfied with politics and this and that. Thus such videos serve as a little reminder sometimes, for what we have and how good we have it. And sometimes it's even the littlest things. I assume that is the reason why we like videos such as yours, Hayley, as much.
@ Hayley Alexis Makes me wonder - did you ever invite your mom ???
Unfortunately when my mother was supposed to come visit hurricane Irma came and she had to evacuate her city. By the time she got back to Florida the airport was still shutdown and by the time it was back up and running, Airberlin cancelled her flight to give her a new flight a month later. Which basically never came to be because they were bankrupt and just stole everyone’s money and never actually flew the day they said they would. This year I went to visit her for 4 months and she promised in 2019 to finally come visit me in Germany. I will cry on camera..... seriously. Such a very important part of my life, because my mother does not understand WHY I CAME TO GERMANY.
@@matteslambertus7684 Nice comment.
I love that she said the old buildings look like a movie set, because that's how I described America to a friend of mine. :D I told her that everything in the US looks as if it was built yesterday, just in time for them to film on this brand new set, which needs no real history or future, cause it only has to exist for the moment.
theunsolvedcase ...Well, it sort of was built yesterday !! Mostly by slaves. But hey. Who gives a fuck - It is okay to be white!!!
next: showing Mom the Kottbusser Tor, Berlin
:DDDDD this would be a straight away escape from Germany
Followed by a leisurely stroll through Gorli Park.
😂😂 Hell, NO!!
Why not...u see the colors of the world in saturday night fever...36 for ever...!!!
one of my favourite areas in germany
Your mom is so radient and expressive, without being fake. Great!
Your mom looks so young :D
Trampelschrat happy people stay young :)
I guess she must have been very young when she got him. Totally not what I expected. On the other hand it all makes sense: his openness and excitability and willingness to connect run in the family and / or were handed down / taught by his parents.
A Real Cougar
🤔
@@cell87ks , sounds kind of sick.
You look a lot like your mama. You both have these shining eyes. Very Positive vibes.
BigTasteXL ... thank god he only looks like a lot like his mom . . . but i guess we ALL know?! 😉😚 A good boy👍🏻👍🏻😎😎
i love that when people get so excited about their surroundings and landscape
Nice to see how you guys appreciate the old world. We take it for granted but I remember I got quite the opposite feeling when I was in the States, I missed the old city centers, taking a bike through town. So glad to be home again in the Netherlands. Your mom is awesome btw :)
Mom‘s are the best. You look really happy showing your mom around. I hope you have a great time 👍🏼
sidekick182 the inner child that is like "mommy mommy look what is there....and there.....and look what i have here!" It's very funny.
Arved Ludwig Most of Nick's child is on the outside.
Mojo Jim true though ^^
It‘s so wonderful seeing how proud Nalf is showing his town to his mother.
Ahh, your mom is so sweet. Sometimes it needs to see a video like this to realize how beautiful a place like this really is and that we need to cherish it.
I moved here 20 years ago, I remember how I was in awe. I love her reaction...this is magical...so exuberant
Great video with your older sister, Nick! It still amazes me to see a reaction like "it seems like a fairytale or a movie set". I guess to Europeans it's so normal to have old city centers with old buildings, cobblestone streets, terraces in front of the restaurants and cafes. That's how towns are.
Wilkommen in Deutschland Mamma NALF ! Sie lächelt die ganze Zeit! Ich habe mich sehr für sie gefreut!
THIS VIDEO IS WORTH MORE THAN THOUSANDS OF WORD ! SO FULL OF PASSION AND LOVE...!
What a nice person your mom is! When I lived in America I met all kinds of people. Most of them so nice it would have been impossible not to like them. Just like your mother.
Sometimes it needs the perspective from a foreigner to realise that you can be proud of your own country. Thanks NALF
Your mum seems so sweet and lovely
Nice movie. So nice to see her enjoying a whole new country. Like a young kid, she is so spontaneous. You see. Never to old to travel.
I like how your mom is like a little kid at Disneyland :) people now are usually indifferent and act like they have "seen it all". It's refreshing that she enjoys it so much.
I smiled the whole video so much "good vibes".
WOW your mother is an incredibly beautiful lady. I wish her a lot of fun in Germany.
So eine nette und sympathische Mutter...lieben Gruß
Immer noch das schöne Video von allen. Ich sehe es immer wieder gern! Bleibt gesund.
Awwww, she's so cute, so excited, so fascinated! By all the comments I guess we all love your mommy!
your mom looks real young and is really sweet! Its probably very cool to see your town through the eyes of your mom once more from a new perspective.
I love the emotion in your voice showing your mum around....sounds familiar to my emotions towards my mother in the past. You must love her so much too. And btw you r a cutie :)
This made me smile so much, your mom is the sweetest. Loved when she said it's magical, this is how I feel when driving in the US :)
Great vibes!
omg your mom is so sweet. i love it when people can get excited/amazed about little things. appreciate things that many people wont even see.. now i understand better where you come from. good job mom!
Was für eine positive süße Mama
So heartwarming to see how much joy she has ♥️
To be honest your mother is a beautiful woman
Welcome to Germany Mom Nalf. :) Enjoy your time! Hope you can discover nice things just like your son did. On a side note, Nalf, it's so adorable to see you being proud and happy to share everything with your mom. Brings me good vibes. :) Sometimes we need someone to open our eyes again to rediscover what you already knew and felt. Your mom brings that to you. You bring that to us. Thank for that!
Hi Nalf´s mom, 3 yrs ago! :-) You make me appreciate my own country more and take it less for granted. Thanks for that, nalf´s mom!
Got recommended this two years later. Such an accurate description of Germany. It’s like being dropped in a fairytale. Makes me all warm inside lol
Your Mom is adorable. So happy she is getting to visit.
Your mom is so nice
It's so nice Hand heartwarming to see your and your mum's same beautiful smile. It's very important that we see from time to time through another view to realize how beautiful our towns are. Or can be seen. Thank you 🙏
Lived in Germany for almost 17 years. Still miss it and want to return. Thanks for sharing somebody's first experiences walking through Schwaebisch Hall!
Love the genuine excitement . She cannot stop smiling and neither can Nalf being just as excited to show her everything. Very nice Video and welcome to Germany.
Awww Mama is so cute! It’s so fun seeing you both in this video my Boy! I wish I was there with you guys but. I know I will get every detail when Ma comes home... #bestfamever
Papa Nalf!
OMG your mom is so cute reacting to the town, so appreciative and just happy
Its amazing to take Care of mom and giving happiness to her .every mom cares their children .you are so great the man who cares and giving happiness to his mom
What a lovely family and your mom seem so sweet and looks so young. I hope she enjoys her stay. It's fun seeing Germany through the eyes of an american :)
She seems very likable. A really nice person
it makes me smile when i see how excited they am seeing the old buildings cites etc when for us its so normal we dont even notice how beautiful it is anymore its crazy^^
Love your mom’s reactions and especially love how much joy you have in showing her around
Es ist einfach toll zu sehen wie sehr sie sich freut. :) viel Spaß!
Ich mag deine Mutter! So offen und warmherzig!
So cute how much your mom enjoys it.👍
I was born in Schwäbisch Hall and i forgot how beautyful this city is. Thanks for the remembers. ❤
Hey nalf....have fun showing your Mom around and thanks again for all your great videos about my Country. Seeing Germany thru your eyes is amazing....I really live in a beautiful Country😊😊🇩🇪
deutschland beste🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
This video is amazing. Had a smile on my face the whole time. Your mom is so adorable you guys are great. Love your positiv way of life!
Absolutely love your videos. You are a Good Son! HA! I am 71 and I grew up in Germany. My step mom was German. I haven't spoke German "for real" since 1967, when we came back to the US. (My dad was military and I was in Germany from age 3 until age 17.) I am amazed by how much of the German language that is still buried in my memory. I am planning to visit Germany and Ireland in 2024, as my wife and I celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. She lived in Germany as well, in the late 60's. Her dad was military too. Keep up the great video work.
Just stumbled on your channel the other day watched several of your videos. Your walk through Schwaebisch Hall was a walk down memory lane. I walked across that covered bridge many a times back in 1990 through 1993 when I lived there. Thank you for the memory refresh.
