Lynnette, I don’t understand Pennsylvania Dutch, but it’s fascinating too listen to you speak it! You keep your house spotless! I tried keeping mine that way when I was young. Now that I’m old, I don’t I don’t work as hard at everything, yet I admire cleanliness! Your home and your children are always spotless!

[@23Jesa]

I‘m from Southern Germany and so the dialect is quiet similar! I understand most of what you‘re saying! Sometimes I need to hear it twice but then it works! Awesome!! Greetings from Germany!! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@tinatortuga2347]

I am from Southern Germany, too, and I was thinking the same! Surprised how well I can understand it!

[@lillypotter1232]

I'm from Palatinate (Southern Germany as well) and I feel the same way. Most of the words are used in the exact same pronunciation here. I could listen to you speaking Pennsylvania Dutch for hours, Lynette. It's very interesting! :)

[@mercycunningham2813]

Same here. No trouble at all.

[@stinejohansen1641]

I’m Norwegian and I could also understand some. Even if I never had German at school :) It sounds nice!

[@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOX]

There’s a holy GOD in Heaven, Who created you and I for His glory, but our sins have separated us from Him. the wages of sin is DEATH, but the FREE Gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST the LORD. CHRIST died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. repent, stop living in sin, and believe in the Gospel.

[@laceycarnahan17]

I live in central pa and love being able to learn about the mennonite and amish culture through your channel! My neighbors are mennonite and your channel answers so many questions! Thank you for being open and honest!

[@sherreepeterson3496]

I very much enjoyed hearing your voice over in Pennsylvania Dutch. I took German in high school and I understood some of the words. I really enjoye your videos. You are a beautiful person.

[@CoffeeLittles]

Great cleaning motivation! 😀 That's so awesome that you can speak Pennsylvania Dutch!

[@susanathiessen3566]

Yes I have worked for a Dutch couple for 4years.

[@sewcrazybaker]

Lynette, I love hearing Pennsylvania Dutch spoken! I'm from Ohio and I was down in the Holmes County area yesterday. Just a day trip because it's only a 2 and a half hour drive for me. I live up in the Island Area of Ohio and not too far from Cedar Point, but out in the country. As I said, I love hearing your native language spoken. I've been known to stand next to Amish women who are conversing in that language, just to hear it! I've been hearing it spoken for over 40 years now and I never tire of it. I think it sounds pretty and sort of comforting in a way. Don't ever stop speaking it! I spent a lot of my high school years at the home of a German friend. She and her family spoke mostly German at home, unless I was there, then they spoke English to me. And my own Grandfather used to speak and sing in German sometimes. I don't understand German and I don't speak it, so I also don't understand much of what you were saying. But, I'm rather fluent in Pig Latin! LOL!

[@tinamariesaraiah8298]

Hello fellow mennonites! I speak Plautdietsch, or Low German. However I'm am completely fluent in English as well. I loved seeing a video in your dialect! And yes I could understand bits and pieces.

[@elizabethharms3305]

Tina Marie Saraiah I as well speak low and high German

[@hminchella7423]

I love listening to you talk Penn Dutch. I picked German as A Level and recognised a few words. Thank you. In agreement that this motivates me to clean. ❤

[@Reddaisy61810]

This video made me smile. As a girl growing up I heard a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch. This brought back a lot of sweet memories.

[@mydailyreward2090]

Lynette, as for your dryer, make sure all vents are cleaned out...the one that leads outside and the ones you can pull out and clean yourself. Also, are your clothes hot at all? Your heating element might be burned out.

[@kathydobrzynski9248]

Yes. Our vent hose to the outside needed cleaning. We didn't know there was so much in there.

[@kimmerrou]

This is always the first thing to check. Start with the easiest thing to fix and work your way to the more pricey fixes.

[@OMRivera1]

We just cleaned our. It cost about $135 in California.

[@lynetteeaster1541]

That is what I was going to suggest also if that outside vent is clogged up it will make a big difference! You may want to try and run a wire or something down in the vent where you check when the clothes are done sometimes that can get stopped up with lent also. Heating element would be my next guess.

[@jansmith5666]

Our dryer went around but had no heat. I called the company and they said opened the back and removed the diode. Then sent me a new one to put in and it was as good as new.

[@elizabethmoldenhauer1940]

I am a second generation German. I do understand 90% of your "Deutsch". It brings me feel at home. Danke sehr. 😊

[@svenjazimmermann5843]

Hi Lynette, I have been following you for a year or so now. I am from Germany originally but live in Toronto. I studied German and English back in Germany and actually once did a term paper on Pennsylvania Dutch! I love listening to you speak it and I do get the gist of what you’re saying. The German words sound more like a southern/southwestern German dialect, but that’s basically where the Amish originally came from, so that makes sense. Looking forward to more Pennsylvania Dutch videos!

[@AriannaSophena26]

I just moved down to southern Maryland which is known for having a bunch of Amish and Mennonite people here. I’m still getting use to seeing a bunch of Amish and Mennonite plus hearing how they speak. Being from the capital Maryland area which is close to dc it’s been very interesting and definitely something I was never use to. But I love it!! They are beyond nice people and super hardworking!!

[@miriamsepulveda4821]

We lived in Arizona for 8 years. I love the cactus pictures. Texas is real pretty. Where we live cows and horses and fields not too far away. The birds are delightful. Love how you talk out loud. I love your style. Yes praying. I am working on my apartment little bit at a time especially during the times my work is slow.

[@Kimmy-pi2bf]

My Grandma is Mennonite and when I was in high school I took German. She used to say something is PA dutch and I would try to figure it out what she was saying. I remember my grandpa teaching me random things in PA dutch when I was little. I miss those days!

[@LynetteYoder]

😄👍🏽👍🏽

[@joec783]

Thank you so much. My Mommie is Pennsylvania Dutch,she grew up in Shamokin,pa.💗😁😉

[@brendatate8986]

So Thankful y’all didn’t get the storm. Definitely praying for everyone affected. Your house always looks so clean and organized! Thanks for the motivation.

[@DimplesDeep1]

Pennsylvania Dutch....so cool! I enjoyed🤓😁

[@heatherakagamermom7790]

❤️ it. I live in PA. We always hear the language spoken when we go up north. We call it Amish country. When we had our second floor built we had Amish workers and they were fantastic. I miss them.

[@fraudi-costanzo6356]

Hey, to answer your question, i'm German and I understand approx. 50% of what you say. And as a language teacher i find Pennsylvania Dutch sooooo interesting :-) Love hearing it!

[@jewellschaefer8863]

I have been remembering those who were affected by Dorian. Thankfully, we were prepared, but did not have much happen here as opposed to Norfolk and VA Beach. I am so glad you were prepared, but didn't need it! Praise God! I love following your cleaning video's and while I am certainly inspired, I am stuck with not being able to do much as I was diagnosed with Parkinson's and then severe scoliosis since 2014 and 2018. I had to quit teaching and really do miss my little kindergartners, but I find that I'm pretty good at figuring out ways that I can do things in an alternate way. I love your video's and your bible study helps when you are able to share them. Thank you! :)

[@LynetteYoder]

❤️❤️

[@Joshua-on2du]

I grew up Mennonite in Indiana and understood you completely! Great video dangi shea!!!😁

[@laurievera5137]

The way y’all use “yet” and “then” instead of “still” is definitely different than typical English. Fun to hear!

[@foresthillmom]

Fascinating!!! I speak some Russian and Spanish but I LOVE hearing other languages. I've always been fascinated by the Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch. What an interesting change to go from Amish to Mennonite. ❤️

[@ohmgeeitzashley]

No way! I’m from Pennsylvania and love my Pennsylvania Dutch heritage ♥️

[@skierty2]

Lynette, I enjoyed the video....and yes you motivated me to get up and clean....sometimes we just need to see someone else getting it done....have a blessed end of the week ....and yes I am so grateful we didn't get much here in Fl from the hurricane but my heart hurts for those that have been devastated....we definitely need to continue to pray for them....Debbie.

[@kristimobley6663]

Hey,I just had to say I loved this video! And loved to hear ur language that was cool,and everything in ur home is so pretty and we'll balanced,and you have the cutest baby bump,makes me miss being pregnant,lol!

[@nancyneufeld851]

It was so interesting hearing you speak Pennsylvania Dutch! I'm also a mennonite, originally from Mexico, but I now live in Canada. I speak low german, but only caught bits and pieces of what you were saying! Good thing you had the translation! 😉

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

I enjoyed your chat while I worked on my kitchen! We had company then immediately went out of town for 9 days so my home is in need of attention. 😀

[@hhostetler81]

We speak Pennsylvania Dutch too and it was so neat to hear you speak it on KZbin!!!

[@TeresaLawson]

Love your home Lynette so warm and inviting 😊

[@reneereinhardt9669]

Erin is right. I used to work on the Whilpool Tech phone lines. The number one reason a dryer wouldn't dry properly is venting. Be sure to check the vent, that it is clean and that it is not to long to vent outside. Also make sure your vent hose is metal and not the white plastic one. The metal one is much safer

[@paulandkimberlyking3701]

It was fun to hear you speak Dutch a little! I don’t understand it as my parents didn’t talk it much but of course did around gift giving times when they didn’t want us to understand them.😆 Your house is just beautiful!!

[@mariar2183]

I liked how your bedroom turned out. Very nice. I can’t wait to see the baby one. 😉🤗

[@taraweathers1606]

I loved listening to you speak PA Dutch. It reminded me of listening to my Dad and his sisters.

[@wendythomas3857]

You are a beautiful wife and mama! So active, and an excellent homemaker! I loved hearing you speak your other language.

[@lindacotton4080]

Your so adorable. I'm watching all these old videos.

[@s.l.5072]

Ich bin aus Deutschland und habe alles verstanden 😊. I'm from Germany and understood your Pennsylvania Dutch very well. Thanks for that 🙏🏻👍🏻💐

[@debrathomas2704]

Loved the Pennsylvania Dutch!

[@mw6732]

I grew up extremely similar to Mennonite, and watching these videos feels like home. We moved out of state, so I don't have any similar church roots here. Every now and then I will see a German Baptist, and I get soo excited to see some "friends".

[@beatricek3801]

Yes I understood you , I am from switzerland and I love that you did this video like this..

[@simplyhome.denise3490]

Been a very busy weekend for me but always enjoy watching your channel and the PA Dutch was a nice new fun kick to hear. Glad you guys are A okay!

[@deborahrobertson2340]

My dad was Pen-Dutch so thank you. Very interesting.

[@u.4499]

I am from Western Gernany ( 1 hour from the Dutch border). I am sure, in you talked a bit slower I would be able to recognize a lot more of the German phrases. However, at the first hearing (beim ersten Hören) I figured out well known German words - pronounced with the sweet, touching melody of southern/bavarian/austrian/swiss dialect from „good old times“. My compliments come in German (maybe you understand?): Wunderschönes Haus! Schöne Möbel, sehr geschmackvolle Einrichtung! Und so eine fleißige Frau! Alles Gute!

[@athomeinsmithfieldwithsusan]

I would check the heating element in the dryer. My husband replaced ours and he said it was easy.

[@kristahorning9434]

So fun hearing you speak Dutch! I could understand everything although your accent is different than the way I talk it. I grew up speaking it but my husband doesn't know it and sometimes I wish I could teach him because knowing 2 languages is such a blessing, and fun!😊

[@sondrasix5503]

I’m glad you all are safe. Really enjoyed this video 🧡💚💛🧡💚💛

[@MommaFromScratch]

I’m so happy you shared this!! It sounds so nice!! I wish we had a language I could talk to the kids in . The dryer, take it out and clean the back duct hose. Love your house and your native tongue!!

[@dequidaqwadoa1553]

Gude Maiye ! I'm learning Pennsylvania Dutch so hearing you speak it is helping me a lot ! Denki un mach's gut ❤

[@karenstone3625]

Love your videos Lynette and I’m happy to watch your channel steadily grow ...you deserve it xx

[@Marzeonthego]

Hi Lynette....regarding the dryer. Check the vent hose for a clog. Also, it may be the heating element in the dryer is going bad. The dryer I had in my apartment was similar and had no buzzer either. I purchased an old fashioned kitchen timer from Walmart ( the kind on a "spring"? That you twist to whatever time you need) and used that. Setting it and leaving it on top of the dryer. The bell was VERY loud!!! Worked well for over 9 yrs!

[@katharinazehetmeyer367]

I loved hearing you speak Pennsylvania Dutch! I grew up in the south of Austria with German as my native language. I could understand you, but had to listen closely. I went to Millersburg, Ohio a few years ago and we were surprised how well we could understand.

[@OMGitsaClaire]

For the dryer: get something called a “lint lizard” and clean out the vent pipes! They’re probably clogged which can make the machine not dry as well. It’s also a major fire hazard.

[@tiborsouth5307]

Wow, nice to hear the dialect, also nice job on cleaning. I am new to your channel, so nice to see that you are one of the nicer modest women on this server. See you soon and good luck...

[@cherylspecht404]

I’m new to your channel. Just wanted to say hi. Loved hearing you speak your native tongue and love the sound of it. I was adopted but think I am Irish and love hearing the Irish spoken. Love learning about different cultures and the way others were brought up. Thank you for sharing your sweet family! GOD Bless!

[@proudmarinemomma827]

Loved you speaking the Pennsylvania Dutch. You should do one where you teach some words or phrases. When my kids were younger, we had a German foreign exchange student. He taught me some German, but more slang and some bad words lol. He and my son were both juniors in high school (11th grade). It was a fun time! He came back to visit a couple of times and was in my sons wedding too!

[@pjbenne1]

I have a I robot 7 yrs. Love it and a cordless vacuum love it. get what you need girl to take care of your home and family in less time. IT IS WORTH IT.

[@julieschuler7533]

I loved hearing the Pennsylvania Dutch :) I was surprised how many English were we slipped n there too lol We had that issue with a dryer once and all it needed was a new heating element. 🤷‍♀️

[@Mmolesy]

I understood some of it. 😊 I learned a little bit of German in school. And while they aren't exactly the same, they are very similar. 😊🥰

[@PrettyPlusandProud]

Your house has come a long way since you moved in! It hardly seems like the same place! Beautiful!! Always love watching your cleaning videos and loved the Pennsylvania Dutch touch!

[@MamaAguilar93]

As soon as I heard you talking I clicked like. I am fascinated by languages. Sounds so cool. Great video.

[@proudmarinemomma827]

The dryer situation isn’t normal. Perhaps it’s the heating element. I have the front loading washer but have the regular kind of dryer like you. I bought it 2 years ago for a great price at like Home Depot or Lowe’s...forget which one. Love it! It works amazing and I can dry my laundry in 30 to 40 minutes.

[@paperlovingtwinmumkns139]

As being Dutch and also speaking German and my own regional dialect, I can define about 50% of your PD. It also sounds a bit like Schweitzer Deutsch, with the rolling rrrrr's. Had lots of fun listening to you!

[@jansmith8021]

My dryer started doing same thing, took me forever to get a load dried but found out it was the heating element, they sell them on Amazon so can fix it yourself, I just watched a you tube video of how to do it!! Very inexpensive and easy to install~

[@judyjudys2082]

You are a Mrs. Clean if I have ever seen one . You seem to have so much energy , of course I am in my 70’s . Your house is gorgeous I love your taste in decor , your home says welcome , it is so cozy . Love you and your family , as I have said before you are my sunshine .

[@thicket]

Check the vents to make sure they are clear in the dryer. Mine was driving me nuts, until we cleaned out the vents.

[@ms.s.4710]

This! Mine was doing the same thing. I knew it was the vent. We bought a kit off Amazon. It's just a brush and "poles" you attach to a drill. Worked great for us! Mine started kind of abruptly. It ended up being a bird trying to build a nest. We have a flap, but somehow it was stuck partly open. Works like normal now! Also when you turn on your dryer try to set a timer/alarm. Maybe have one for your dryer like you would have in a kitchen.

[@amydavis8319]

I love hearing you speak your native tongue! You're cleaning videos always inspire me to get my own cleaning done. 👌

[@amya9597]

Loved your video. The Pennsylvania Dutch is pretty cool, however, without the words at the bottom I wouldn’t have known what you were saying. 😁 When you have to keep turning your dryer on multiple times to get your clothes dry, it usually means your heating element is going out. Usually a repair man can fix that at a decent price.

[@lisagrant1062]

Love hearing the PA Dutch! Always enjoy the cleaning videos....I am not a good housekeeper (yet), but I learn a lot just watching how you do it .

[@Marjolein-van-Hoef]

I’m Dutch and can also speak German. I recognized a lot!

[@irenedick326]

Hello Lynette 😀 I was born and raised 18 years in Germany and live now for 12 years in Canada. I could not understand any of Pennsylvania Dutch 🤷‍♀️ I like you decorating style

[@christyhernandez8625]

I has always though the Mennonites and Amish were minimalist. Never though they has so much stuff like pictures ect. Been Informative.

[@hmerle]

So nice to hear! As a person who speaks english, Dutch and german this hurts my head a bit though 😄

[@LynetteYoder]

🤪 sorry.

[@farmgirl8629]

My dryer does this about once a year. I take the front of the dryer off (after unplugging it) and I clean out all the lint. I also clean out the dryer venting as well. It always works WAY better after I do this. If it's not this, then check the heating element if your dryer is electric. Mine is propane gas. You probably don't need a new dryer yet!

[@secondtimemommy1718]

I can totally understand your Pennsylvania Dutch!! My great grandparents were German and RARELY spoke English! Unfortunately I was really young and didn’t see them often as they lived in Iowa and I live in Wisconsin! Anyway I was fortunate to enjoy them through my late teens as they both lived to be 100 & 102!!!

[@lynnew5619]

Gotta love Sharks! Janine from NJ Family has just gotten a robot cleaner and it’s so much fun watching how excited she is. Just love her! It works so well - vacuums AND washes her floors. Loved this cleaning vlog.

[@RadianceRush]

This was super fun to watch loved hearing your language.

[@estherwiebe3960]

🤣 this is so cool! I speak low German and can definitely understand some but still totally different than what I'm used to!

[@MrsThemarinaribeiro]

I'm a brazilian studying German and it's so funny that I actually what understood some of it

[@Maililnajul]

I like how your lamps look. Both are very nice and have their own interesting look.

[@LJCasey-sd4eu]

Hi Lynette!!! Have your hubby check to see if the exhaust system of your dryer is clogged. That could be the reason your dryer is taking a longer than average time to dry your laundry. ❤❤❤

[@kimmerrou]

I think your twist was a lot of fun. ☺ I think it's a really good thing to figure out what you can do day to day when you are feeling so -so. (This sounds silly, but bear with me.)I have autoimmune issues and one of the things I deal with is it affects my muscles and if I plan what I am going to do when I feel really good, I set myself up for a disappointing time. Whereas, if I figure out what I am going to do when I feel just blah, I can be more realistic about it. So I add extra to my list when I am feeling blah- you bet, because we can always push ourselves in all that we do. However, if you only have two- three things you didn't do instead of nine - ten things, it's not so bad. I think we as housewives can be tough on ourselves, but we need to give ourselves some grace.

[@LynetteYoder]

❤️

[@PastelpricelessBlogspot]

About your dryer, maybe check the vent that leads to outside. When mine starts to get clogged up, it takes a long time to dry. I have a wire guard on the exhaust vent outside to keep birds out of it but the wire guard can accumulate lint in it which clogs it. Check it out because it can be dangerous.

[@nancypenfield3088]

We have the same washing machine and I would have to say that we share the same "struggle" with ours. I have had clothes come out with a white glaze on it. I have no other word for it. We do not like the "water-saving" part of it. We went with Maytag because that is what our previous was, but we have been very disappointed with it. We have been using the bulky cycle with the full water on it and they seem to come out better. We have only had it a little more than a year, so we can't justify buying another washing machine right now, but it sure is tempting! I do enjoy watching your videos even though I am an older woman.

[@nadjea]

Since I am actually from the Netherlands and grew up learning German in High School I can almost fully understand what you were saying. This of course along with the English between some of the words. So fun!

[@sheilahackney6214]

Great video! I love hearing some of the Pennsylvania Dutch...very interesting 👍🥰

[@rebeccadevos3709]

It sounds very similar to what the Hutterites here in rural Manitoba speak. It's so interesting to hear it spoken in Florida because I always associate the language with the Canadian prairies. 😊

[@pennypedersen6205]

Two things to check on the dryer, check your vent hose & clean out. Get a THIN BRUSH clean out the dryer vent inside the dryer. Or your heater element has gone up. But Great news dryers and washers are easy to fix. And usally not to pricey.

[@barbarabrown4767]

❤ thanks for sharing your language with us.

[@anderfelswarden]

I do not speak German persay but I pick up on phonetic queues from European languages, so it is pretty cool to try and understand this!

[@Woeschhuesli]

That is so cool! My dad is from the German Rheinland Pfalz where I first learnt German and I speak Swiss-German from living in Switzerland so long but my native tongue is British-English - I understand you perfectly!! (Pennsylvania Dutch is actually a corruption of "deutsch" and the settlers came from the Rheinland so took that dialect with them... for those who may not know.)

[@ClaireRader]

I love the content on your channel. I appreciate being able to watch/listen to something while I’m trying to get cleaning done and not have to worry about my kids overhearing something that they shouldn’t hear. So thank you for that.

[@Trisha0413]

So glad you wasn’t affected by the storm.

[@meowsthree]

Loved hearing you speak Dutch!

[@vickinoeske1711]

I love to hear Pennsylvania Dutch💖💖💖

[@stephanieechols6787]

This was great fun! Loved hearing the Pennsylvania Dutch which I had never heard before. I’m from Arkansas so I mostly know English with a heavy southern drawl 🤣.

[@jenasmith5467]

Loved hearing you speak in Pennsylvania Dutch! Really enjoyed your cleaning video. Your home is so nice.

[@laurachambers862]

My grandfather on my dads side was German and spoke Pennsylvania Dutch. He worked in the Pennsylvania oil company. I was just a baby when he passed but my brother can speak some. My maiden name was Boocks

[@DarlinShelties]

Love how efficient you work!

[@findingvikki7469]

I am fluent in 5 languages including German. I understand many words but there is a definite difference. Truthfully, I read the translation just to keep it easy. I worked as an interpreter and teacher before I got sick and couldn’t anymore. Because of that I don’t use the language skills a lot now. I still teach Sign language at our homeschool group and I teach my son and 2 of his friends Spanish and French.
