Answering YOUR Questions About Our Relationship! 😅 | Feli from Germany

[@lesliesheppard6112]

Every woman should find a partner who looks at them the way Ben looks at you. Seriously, you two are so sweet together. I hope you get to travel to all the places you want to go. Just be sure to make some content while your there for those of us who can’t currently travel.

​@@kape2469 nice point! but how do you know if their love is deep especially in Western countries where divorces happen like 50% of the time ? This is normal white attractive people who got little thing going on between them, who they call as love. seriously in Germany where I am now (an Indian), divorces are extremely common here. people look extremely good, beautiful eyes, physique etc still get divorced. I sometimes laugh, India poeple don't really care about looks but still be lifelong , even if it depressing for us. what a world we live in..

[@TheJuggernaut88]

I like Ben's enthusiasm for living in Germany, but itll be a huge commitment on his part and i feel for him in that respect. All the issues of moving to a foreign country Feli has already overcome, so that will be growing pains that Feli will need to assist Ben with in the future.

[@avoicetocount]

You're a beautiful couple, both very likeable people, and respectful towards one another. Wishing you all the best for your relationship.

[@DavidOatney]

I think it is incredibly kind of both of you to share what I would consider to be rather intimate details of your relationship, but I also would second what Ben says that Feli really does come across as very much herself when she is in front of the camera. If she leaves me the impression that she would be an interesting person to meet one day. I think it says quite a lot that Ben discovered that the Feli that he found on KZbin was very much the person he went out on a date with. That says a lot about Feli. I think it's wonderful that Ben is not only willing to live in Germany but that he wants to do so, and when you have that kind of multilingual multicultural relationship I believe that you just have to consider that. Wherever you go, don't lose the Kentucky. That's you brother. It would be like Feli losing the München. Carry it with you and your children will always have the best of both.

[@madinha1]

I am Brazilian married to an American. It is some work to mesh both cultures, but so much fun too. I agree we are always missing family and friends, but we make up for it and make sure the time spent together is worth it. Great video Feli!

[@mikezimmermann89]

My wife and I have good German friends whom we met while vacationing Hawaii. They really enjoy traveling (and especially visiting the US) and both speak English pretty well. What I find fascinating about their language usage is how immersed in English they become when they visit here. She is more comfortable with English than he is; but, when in the US, it’s only English for both of them… even to the point that they “discuss” (read: argue in private) grocery purchases in the supermarket in English while they’re here!

[@rgw4393]

Omg the way you two look at each other is heart melting, super sweet and cute to see ❤️ 😊

[@alb91878]

Absolutely loved this video! I love the fact that both of you are so open to each other's cultures but I especially love the fact that Ben is so open and even excited about moving to your country to learn the language and the culture! I just don't see that very often for many people in my personal life so to be able to see that from other people that are American it's really refreshing and it gets me excited! I lived in Germany for a few years in my childhood I think from ages 2 or 3 until 5 or 6 and then again from Age 9 through almost 13 and Germany has my heart! Most of my happiest childhood memories took place in Germany and one day before I kicked the bucket I'm going back! I just feel like a huge part of me has been missing for the last 34 years and I know it's in Germany! I can tell you this Ben you will not regret it! There is nothing better than living abroad and getting to see life through other people's eyes and other people's cultures! It also gives you a completely different perspective on your own culture and on your own country!It will give you an appreciation for your own country but it also gives you a huge appreciation for other countries! I really cannot wait until you guys travel so I can hear what each of you think! Particularly Ben since hes not lived abroad before. Lol.

That's one lucky dude. She has amazing eyes, lovely smile and a radiant personality. Any guy able to win her affection must be special. I hope you two are still going strong, I assume you make sure things were stable before introducing him to your followers. I was 27 when I married someone outside my culture (she was 30) - from the Philippines. Life has been a grand adventure with her, now going on 20 years with 3 kids. It amazes me every time I think about that she moved to the other side of the world to be with me, leaving behind a very large family and network of friends. Thankfully, digital technology (Internet) has made it easier for her to stay connected back home.

It took a few of us to talk to him in Spanish before he calmed down and realized that he hadn't forgotten anything!

[@pfalzgraf7527]

It is interesting to hear about your switching between languages, Feli. I had this weird thing when I switched between countries (in my case England and Germany) that at times my impression was I could feel the new synapses building up in my brain. When I started studying English at a German university, that became even weirder: 90 minutes of a seminar or lecture in English, then getting out of class and talking German with others, going to the library, doing work in English, asking the librarian for help in German, going to the next class which was in English and then going home, perhaps partying in German again, but there was this friend who had some foreigner staying with them, so we spoke partly in English again ... Having had this for a few years, i think it is the basis for my effortless settling into working as a translator: Working on easier texts, it is almost as if I copy them, just into the other language.

I loved your trip to Jungle Jim's. Thanks for the entertainment on a whole. Wish my not-all-that-bright small town self some luck learning German as I've been using Duolingo and it's a slow process since I have nobody that speaks German naturally to help me along. Fascinating, but VERY frustrating language, at least for someone with a learning disability. But am determined to do my best. You only live once, reach for the sun and even if you fall you land amongst the stars! P.S. Every time he says 'I came from a small town' all I can think of was the school I went to where K-12 was ONE building, 600 students, and my graduating class was like 22 I think?

only if they raise their children in Germany, if they raise them in America it will be difficult to bring them up with fluent German skills while they're immersed in an English speaking country and only one German speaking parent.

I'm a lifelong Southern California resident from German parents and have always been proud of my mixed culture/background. When I had my twins in 2005, I decided to homeschool (and option that unfortunately is NOT available in Germany), and it allowed us to travel extensively (33 states and Europe to visit family in Bayern, but elsewhere as well, and Canada). They are now 17 and will be spending their senior year studying abroad, one in Japan and the other in Berlin.

Having kids in mixed families sometimes produces funny turns in life. My kids switched between Germany and Australia a few times before they became adults. And now the one born in AUS lives in Germany and the one born in Germany lives in AUS. These young people learn to become very flexible regarding the terms "Heimat" and Heimatland, mothertongue and fathertongue and it is a good thing, that they have the chance, to choose from the better of both countries. I myself am also from (just outside) Munich and met my hubby in Central Africa.

Frohe Weihnachten aus dem Ruhrgebiet :-) Both of you you are cool socks ;-) Feli , your videos are really cool cause you appear really natural on screen . You would be a proper Diplomat for both sides . US as well as Germany . You bring the German Cultur closer to the Americains and they can see and understand the differences and similarities to their own country . Top Job , Feli . Keep on doing this cause it will be very helpfull for both Nations . One thing I absolutly can agree with you is the point " Learning another Language " . When I was with the German Forces I had to learn English properly cause I was about to change to the international Forces and at that place English was the only Language they would except . Before I had to learn English 11 years in different Grades of School . Those where the Basics . Without them I couldn´t go further on . After I´ve started my Job with the international Forces I found out that I learned more parts of the english Language in 3 Month than the 11 years before . And that have had a big reason . I wanted to learn this language !!! So I´ve been open to all words or sentences . I actually sucked everything I could learn in English in to me and have never been afraid of making a mistake while speaking in English . All the Persons around me helped me to learn the language properly . Now I´m a truckdriver going international wide mainly to Belgium and France . Now I have to learn the French language . It is not as easy as it was with the English language but still I don´t have any fears making a mistake while talking in French . And even if the French person in front of me I´m talking to does not understand what I say or can figure out what I mean I have the possibilty to explain it in other words . They do respect my willing to speak in their language and I seldomly have had any person who appeared angry or rude towards me . Just a little advise to Ben : Start talking in German even if you do make mistakes . Don´t fear any mistake you might and you will do . Even if anyone is laughing cause the sentence might be a joke for the Germans . You got that in the US as well ;-) Look onto your efforts you make while making the progress in learning the German language . You got a proper reason to learn the language , Feli and her family . It will take time to learn it but you know why you´re doing it ;-) So , again Merry X-Mas and keep on sending your videos . 🙂 Regards , Ralf 🙂

[@calvinray5615]

Super adorable couple! Ben seems to have an aptitude for language. Since you brought it up about the possibility of kids in the future I'll just share my observations of international couples I've known where the mother-to-be is west European and the dad American that they usually choose to have their babies here in Europe. The European maternity benefits are generally much more generous ; and maybe not so surprisingly most young mothers prefer to have their own mothers nearby for support. What the family chooses to do after the children have passed the infancy stage is more of a blank page. But don't wait too long to make a decision, because the children will soon be at that impressionable age where they mainly begin to identify as being German or American.

I agree that many of us think there is time to travel and whatnot before kids. I understand this desire but now that so many years have passed realize that you should not wait. I have missed opportunities and wish I approached life a little bit differently.

It's great to see you both so happy.

23:33 “Spilling the seed”… Feli, you’re spilling the “beans”. Ben spills the seed, and loves doing that I’m sure!

[@sknot08]

I want your rambles! Plus I want to see a vlog of speaking German around Ben! Also love KY Ben! Visited Mammoth cave as a youth with family and the kindness and hospitality of Kentuckians was heartwarming! Thanks for the video you two! Adorable last question btw God, get cuter! Lol have a good one you two!

[@redmoon08]

My brain switches between English and Dutch pretty easy with family. My german however is disappearing fast as I am not around it much anymore. Listening to you speak German tells me I need to start learning again

That app really did a great job 😂 my friend went the us shortly before pandemic for her masters and she tried that app, now she’s married for over a year.

4:23 It's one of those things where it sounds different; it sounds foreign and different to how I could say it, and I can hear it, but I can't tell what it is. Like, not only do I know I couldn't say it, I can't even tell what it is that's different to how I would say it, but I can hear that it is different. It's kinda frustrating really.

Ihr seid echt ein süsses Paar. Tolles Video. Gerne mehr von euch beiden. Grüße aus Augsburg

Feli I shared the same experience as your boyfriend. My first travel experience outside of the USA was to go to Germany to meet and tour beautiful Munchen, and was very interesting history and Friedrichshafen and was able to see the Beautiful Bavarian countryside too. The German people were very friendly and loved and appreciated an American visitor to speak native German. I studied German as I also speak Spanish and of course English. So after learning those 2 foreign languages I felt very comfortable in Your Country FELI. My fathers side of his family were from Bavarian heritage as my last name is a very common word in Germany. Love your videos FELI. Best Wishes for you and your boyfriend dear.😉 Auf Wiederstein - FELI

The very best way of learning a foreign language, is to just jump into it and speak it. Without worrying about grammatical errors, wrong pronounciations and also encourage people to correct you when you make mistakes. A truly great way is to geta job in a daycare. Because children are learning their language themselves, your own learning curve will experience a serious boost. Children also has the capacity of correcting you without belittleing you. No hidden agendas or ridiculing you, which often seems to be the goal among adults. (Just think about the first words people usually try to teach you, are vulgar, dirty or to make fun of you.) That is basically non existant among children.

both are going to make cute babies, good luck guys! They way you look each other is true love.

[@Wud-f2r]

[@sarabadara]

Hinge better be giving you a payout for this 😜 You guys would be the perfect ad for them because you make such a great couple!

I have been married 33 years to the best woman I could have ever found. I hope you 2 can have a long relationship. Not saying you have to get married. The 2 of you seem very happy and that is wonderful. Congratulations on each of you finding a soul mate. It is rare indeed.

[@stephaniea.7527]

Aww, you two are so cute 🥰 I saw Ben’s doppelgänger (just missing the earring!) on the Bahn last week getting off at Düsseldorf Flughafen, had to do a double take to make sure it actually wasn’t him

[@lootcrafter]

For everyone being as curious as me which celeb it might be : I’ve googled celebs from Kentucky and the only celeb around their age, that is huge and from a small town in northern Kentucky is josh hutcherson. I didn’t find the others to match on that list :)

[@lancemannly]

Yeah that was my guess too. I wouldn't call Union Kentucky *directly* between Cincinnati and Lexington but it is south of the former and north of the latter.

Colton Ryan

Maybe Jennifer Lawrence? Indian Hills, KY...

[@sophiapacione]

This was really heartwarming to watch, best of luck moving forward! :D It's lovely to hear your thoughts on living in different countries. While I'm Canadian, I've never felt particularly close to Canada as a whole, and even from a young age felt much closer to where my nonno is from; Italy. I don't know if I'd ever move to Italy specifically, but I have little doubt that I'll eventually move elsewhere (most likely a European country, I'm done with North America).
