As a peruvian, I remember one of the things that shocked me the most when i traveled to Berlin was the fact that i interrupted a lot while talking. It's normal here to talk louder or to interrupt someone to complete their sentences but when i got there i noticed it was kind of rude, so i adopted that. I have some theories about why this happens, like the sentence construction differences between german and spanish (the verb at the last vs the verb at the beggining) or the fact that we live in constant hurries and we are used to "save" time. Luckily it wasn't that hard to change those habits and now i apply them on my dayly conversations. Other thing i noticed was that people in Germany are not so confortable to be asked some regular "protocole" questions like "How do you feel?" because they might consider it a bit personal, when it's actually just a default question which we dont expect to be profundized, just a "fine" works. Oh and i also remember people got really surprised when i told them that i used to talk for HOURS on the phone with some friends. EDIT: Oh and once more i just remembered! People sharing tables on bars and leaving things on the top of them while going to the bathroom or outside. Thing's are not that safe in South America so don't be offended if we take all our stuff with us even if we go to the toilet. Let's say we have trust issues with strangers, nothing personal.

Danach habe ich mich in Deutschland fremd gefühlt, der Kulturschock war so stark, dass ich mich nicht mehr integrieren konnte und auch nicht wollte. Ich hatte so starkes Heimweh nach Costa Rica und mich jahrelang unwohl gefühlt. Dann habe ich einen Freiwilligendienst in Kolumbien gemacht, mich dort verliebt und bin im Januar 2019 nach Medellín ausgewandert. Das war die beste Entscheidung, jetzt fühle ich mich wohl, auch wenn mein kolumbianischer Partner und ich jeden Tag kleine Unterschiede zwischen uns feststellen.

Die Österreichischen und die Deutschen sind am Amnfag richtig kühler als die Leute in Brasilien, und das war für mich ein bisschen kompliziert, weil ich manchmal gedacht habe, dass sie nervös oder gestressed waren, aber sie sind einfach so (nur am Anfang). Ich habe auch in einer Situation geweint, weil ich so sensibel geworden bin, nachdem eine Frau im Supermarkt super direkt mit mir gesprochen hat. Aber dann habe ich gemerkt, dass die Leute freundlicher werden, je mehr Kontank du mit ihnen hast. Und ich habe auch entdeckt, dass sie nicht schlecht meinen, wenn sie direkt sprechen. Sie sind tatsächlich sehr nett, höflich und zuverlässig. Jetzt denke ich, dass die Brasilianer manchmal zu freundlich sind hahaha sie respektieren nicht diesen Abstand. Aber ja, deshalb reise ich sehr gern, um neue Kulture kennenzulernen. Ich liebe die Deutschen und Österreichischen Kultur.

As an Australian woman in my fifties I had lots of culture shocks when I attended a Sprachschule in Stuttgart at the beginning of last year! I found the underground trains very confusing, as in Adelaide where I live we don’t have any underground trains! Germany is very, very crowded compared to Australia - even compared to our cities. For example, I live 25 km from the centre of Adelaide, but it is still a suburb of Adelaide. If I lived 25 km from the centre of Stuttgart I’d most likely be living in a completely different city! In Stuttgart, people did a lot more walking. In Australia, we are more lazy, and take our cars everywhere. I also found speaking German difficult. I thought because I’d been learning it at uni for 2 years that I’d be speaking it straight away. 🙁

In fact all those are not culture shocks - that's just the way the cities are set. Something really disturbing from being in Germany for a foreigner would be that none would talk to you if they haven't met you before (the same goes in the UK) - even it would be considered to be rude if you talk to someone in the street or in public transport. Germans would think "why is he or she talking to me?" and after thinking a bit about it, germans get to realize that in a way they display a social dumbness in interacting to others, particularly when they come to visit communities with a warmer culture, ie, latin american countries.

In Texas, in general, we've pretty much given up measuring distance by miles and just state distance based on how many minutes (or hours) it'll take us to get from Point A to Point B, LOL. We drive everywhere too, since even if a supermarket or a Wal-Mart is "down the road", it still might be a 15 minute drive.

The social aspect of life in Germany is incredibly sad, it is a nation of insular people that tend to stay for their whole lives in their microcosmos..most of them have their friends from way back when, school, kindergarden... What puzzles me the most is that if you talk to germans that went abroad to friendlier countries they talk about this in such a positive way..“oh, italians are so friendly“, „wow, I loved how open the spanish people are“ etc, but then they do not take that experience with them to implement it in their own community.

Some places that Americans and Europeans would consider less-developed also served as a reminder that there is pure beauty and joy in the simplicity of life: family, friends, food, music. Some tend to lose that in the world of commercialism.

Very cool! I've definitely experienced culture shock over the past few years... I work as US Military, so I've lived overseas at a few places: Italy (2 years), S. Korea (1 year), Japan (3 years) and now Germany (1 year so far). Italy was different because it was so laid back, and having to learn how seriously Italians took their mid-day breaks was even harder (especially if you wanted to get food or run errands). South Korea was very much more of a city life than I'd ever experienced, so that was hard to get used to. I found some of the local Koreans to be rude at times, but I've also made some really nice friends there. Japan was wonderful, and once I got to know the language better, it felt like I could integrate more fully into the culture. Out of all four of those places, I came to learn how much safer I feel living in other countries that aren't my own. In the USA, I always feel anxious walking by myself (I'm a woman if that makes a difference), and I feel like people can often times come off as more entitled/less friendly. Overall, I prefer living overseas, and I plan to live the rest of my life in Austria. :)

Und niemand warnt Sie davor, wie kompliziert es ist, nach einem Leben an einem so anderen Ort nach Hause zurückzukehren. Es ist ein merkwürdiges Gefühl. Y una grata sorpresa saber que Manuel habla español, quiero escucharte auf mexicanisch 😜🇲🇽 LB

I’m American and so many international students and coworkers have told me it’s so hard to make friends in America.we call even casual acquaintances friends sometimes so coworkers have told me they were disappointed when people they met in America called them a friend but would blow off hanging out or if they asked the American if they could help them with something but they said no. They told me in their countries when you calll someone a friend, it’s a real friend relationship you cherish. So if you come to America, people can be super friendly and nice but just because they call you a friend doesn’t mean they are always there for you - you’ll know after awhile who are best friends and just casual acquaintance friends. Even though I’m America, it’s hard for me to make friends too - I have to feel out the person after a while to decide if I want to spend my time with them but if I call someone a friend I would do anything for them so I can understand and relate to foreigners a lot who are use to this mindset how hard it must be for them when they move to America

Danke für das super Video, das ihr gemacht habt. Als ich in England einen Sprachkurs besuchte und dort für eine Weile wohnte, habe ich verstanden, dass es überall auf der Welt gute und schlechte Menschen gibt, also d.h. es kommt gar nicht darauf an, wo genau du wohnst. Zweitens habe ich auch gelernt, die Engländer sind echt verschiedenen und die meisten sind gar nicht kalt, aber freundlich und hilfsbereit, wenn du dich mit ihnen ein bisschen befreundest.

Als erstes danke für das tolle Video, jetzt erzähle ich meine Geschichte. Mit einem Austauschprogramm bin ich mal nach Deutschland gefahren, und an einem Unterricht in einem Gymnasium teilgenommen, plötzlich haben alle Schüler angefangen ihre Nasen laut zu putzen, niemand hat es irgendwie speziell empfunden, der Unterricht ging einfach weiter, und es war für mich ein richtiger Schock, weil hier in Armenien in der Öffentlichkeit die Nase laut zu putzen wird oft als unhöfflich sogar eklig gekennzeichnet. Und das machen die Leute in Deutschland auch beim Essen. Also es war sehr seltsam für uns, dann aber als wir nach Armenien zurückgekehrt sind, haben wir es unwillkürlich ab und zu mal gemacht, und gelacht, wir haben es eingesehen, dass mit der Zeit gewöhnt man sich an alles.

Ich bin Italiener und ich bin nur einmal im Deutschland gewesen, zum Oktoberfest, und ich muss sagen dass die einzige Schock die ich hatte war dass ich keinen Kulturschock hatte! Wenn man Videos wie dieses sieht (natürlich war es super, wie immer), denkt man dass die Deutschen kühl sind und doch kühler als uns Italiener (und ich komme aus Neapel, im Süditalien, wo man in Italien sagt dass die Leute sind _wärmer_ als die anderen Italiener!); aber ganz _alle_ Leute in München waren so nett dass ich fühlte mich nach Hause.

Whoever is more advanced and has some free time to read this, feel free to correct some mistakes, please. Ich bin nach Romania eingezogen, weil ich hier in der Universität studiere. Deshalb habe ich einen starken Kulturschock gefüllt in meinem ersten Jahr. Normaerweise ist die Weihnachtsfeier in meinem Heimatland am 7. Januar. Aber Romania feiert eine europäische Weihnacht am 25. Dezember. Am 7. war es Weihnacht in meinem Herz. Ich musste trotzdem viel studieren und zum Unterricht gehen. Deshalb war ich sehr traurig und habe mir so allein gefüllt. Ich hatte fast geweint. Trotzdem konnte ich russische Weihnachtsshows am fern gesehen. Das hat mir ein bisschen geholfen.

Sadly most of the time the people who use Latin America actually mean Hispanic America. The truth is that they, the people there, want a name for the Spanish speaking countries of the Americas but, oh, they don't want this name to have nothing to do with Spain or Spanish, do they say Latin America although what they really mean are the Spanish speaking countries. 90% of the times someone says Latin America it has nothing to do with Brazil or Haiti...

I come from the USA and reverse culture shock after spending time living away was very very hard. I realized how common it is to spend money, buy things and make a big production to spend time with people you already know. For example friends always wanting to get dressed up and go out to a bar/restaurant/show and being reluctant to just come over to your place or sit in a park and hang out there and know you won't be "seen" by anyone. I prefer the cozier and more inclusive environments now.

Ich habe 2 Monate in Bangkok gelebt und habe viel Zeit mit einheimischen verbracht die ich dort kennengelernt habe. Größter Kulturschock war: wir sitzen Abends beim Essen, alle Thais in der Runde sind am Handy rum und chatten mit anderen Freunden während wir zusammen saßen. Ich habe allerdings nicht mein Handy rausgeholt, da es in Deutschland ja als unhöflich gilt das zu machen. Da fragte mich einer aus der Runde ob ich denn keine Freunde hätte weil ich nicht am Handy bin.

Is like if they don’t want to open up to new friends or maybe is because I am an immigrant? Who knows 🤷🏻♀️🥺💔

Es hört einfach nicht auf. 2. Jammern als Smalltalk. Ich komme auch aus Mexiko und ich weiß es nicht, ob es schon zu lange her ist, dass ich in den normalen Alltag war, oder es ist eine Kultursache aus Deutschland. Am Anfang kamm ich nicht richtig klar damit und würde mehr mals dadurch depressiv hahaha! 🤯 3. Pünktlich sein. Das ist eine Sache, an die ich mich noch nicht gewöhnen kann. Traurig aber war.

I'm brazilian. My father is from a 100% german family and my mom is italian (not 100%, her family definetely has portuguese and native american blood). In 2018 I went to Bonn as an exchange student to learn neo-european history (basically all the revolutions, ideolegies and political systens that happened). But always when I showed my NIF people will get confused by my name: 'Renan Bielemann'. Its happened twice of people asking if I have French backgroung (because Renan is French name, but very very popular in Brazil). Well, I liked the Germans I met there, they treated me very well and were very kind to me. But when I got back home I realized one thing: it doesn't matter where your ancestors came from, whether you're German, Italian, Japanese, Nigerian, etc. If you were born and raised in Brazil you are Brazilian and have a Brazilian soul and no one can take that away.

Ich habe vor etwa 20 Jahre über 2 Jahre lang in Chile gelebt. Es war recht einsam, weil es für mich extrem schwierig war, Kontakt zu Chilenen zu bekommen. Und ohne Castellano (Spanisch) kommt man dort nicht weit. Englisch sprechen selbst in Santiago nur wenige. Ich habe für eine internationale Organisation gearbeitet, wo nur Englisch gesprochen wurde. Der Lebensstil der Wohlhabenden unterscheidet sich jedoch kaum von Europäern. Was mich mit am meisten überrascht hat: wie fortschrittlich der Ausbau des Internets damals im Vergleich zu Deutschland war.

ich habe fuer ein Jahr in Deutschland gelebt weil ich dort ein Austauschschuljahr gemacht habe und ich hab sowohl einen Kulturschock als auch einen umgekehrten Kulturschock erlebt. Ich bin aus Chile und als ich in Deutschland angekommen konnte ich gar kein Deutsch und das hat mir ein paar Schwerigkeiten gebracht, vor allem in der Schule, weil ich in Chile erfahren habe dass wir in unsere Kultur die Austauchschueler als was ganz Interessantes betrachten und jeder moechte sie kennenlernen und das ist mir in Deutschland nicht passiert, es war schon hart als ich das erste Mal zur Schule gegangen bin und keiner hat mich gefragt wer ich bin. also es war schwierig, Freunde in der Schule zu machen, und deswegen hatte ich da eine schlimme Zeit. Aber trotzdem das Erlebniss wuerde ich tausend mal wiederholen...jetzt bin ich seit einem Monat wieder in meinem Land und es faellt mir immer noch schwer, mich an die Kultur zu gewoehnen und manche Sachen die wir chilenische Leute machen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen weil ich an die deutsche Kultur gewoehnt war hahah.

There are so many differences in terms of culture but they mention the most common ones. The one in the supermarket and the u-Bahn but also there are super strong cultural shocks as things that Germans take for granted while we can’t. Example: I had a rough time when I lost my job because of Corona and all German people I met where like „Ok, but you can use your savings“ while I was like „I have none“. They freaked out every time I was saying that. In LA it is not that we are all poor as the guy said that about Buenos Aires. That is just ignorance, what really happens is that we „might be“ happier because we don’t have all our lives planned as Germans have. By saying this, I don’t mean that is a bad thing, but in LA if you have no money, you still do stuff, you take risks, you experience life at a different level, and that is the reason why people here are so surprised about how we do things and continue smiling. It is in out inner selves. Naturally with our problems and consequences, we just live. I always ask my German students if they have ever traveled without money, and 95% of the times the answer is no. That is low tolerance to risk. Or that I was surprised when I saw a woman running in the park alone at 5am. If that happens in some areas of LA, there is a very high risk of something bad to happen. These are two of many that I can mention. And again, I don’t mean to say one is better; it is just they are super different, and those are the real cultural shocks.

I came to this video cause I was talking to my host brother about us not having Amazon or trains in Ecuador and he was completely shock. I laughed so hard cause it is sooo normal for me, but then I realize it would actually be very challenging for him. So I started thinking about all the differences I have encountered btw my country and Germany, and I'm now so interested in knowing how german/Europeans experience our culture. For example, about U-Bahns being loud, it's soooo true, but I haven't even thought about it before 😅 Anyways, both countries and both cultures have their positive and negatives sides ❤
