Hello! Do you watch my English videos (at least in part) to improve/practice your English? How do you decide which language to watch my videos in when there's a German and English video? Thanks so much for your feedback in the comments!!🤩

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

Like so many Germans, I also watch the English video first - and oftentimes I don't watch the German video afterwards, when they have the same content (but if there's Questions for Germans in German, and Questions for Americans in English, I usually watch both, becuase they are likely to be different questions). The reason is, like with so many others, that I am used to you speaking English, and while I am a German native speaker, I generally prefer listening to someone speaking in their native language, at least while I understand and speak that language as well. I usually get notified about both videos (but I've been subscribed to your channel since your colaboration with Sam Walton, so not just since yesterday). If I didn't get notified about both videos, I would have seen them on the "my subscriptions" page of youtube, I guess.

[@alpennews2944]

The English version reflects the impressions that a US-American living in Germany gains over time. Unlike some other KZbin videos, the clarity of your pronunciation makes it easier to watch your English-language videos. The German version gives the viewer a good insight into the challenges of learning a foreign language. In the last few years, you have reached an impressive level. However, it also makes one realize that even small details can be very important for comprehension. Slightly disappointing is the low level of interest from the US. How many students are learning in the USA German at school?

[@MrNwango]

I watch mostly the english ones not especially to learn the language, but because you offer interesting insights to the differences in culture etc. That's always great to see. I know, You do this in the german vids too, but you are way more familiar to me in your mother tongue.

[@cptjfk]

I've seen the English and German version of this video. And it's easier for me (as a German) to watch it in English. It's more fluent and easier to undestand. Probably because I'm not constantly (subconsciously) listening to every mispronunciation which throws me off a bit. But I have that in German, too. Dialects are quite difficult for me.

[@ronalddekeijzer40]

Depends a little on which one i am notified of. In some cases i whatch both if I have the time. My native language is dutch but german is near native as i went to a german school as a child. English is also close to native although its a more American English. So i can understand both English and German versions of your videos

[@lella4233]

German in Germany here 😊 I usually watch the English video. I think I'm just used to listening to you speaking English, also I never had any trouble understanding you at all, so I don't really see the need to switch to the German version. I like your videos a lot and I have watched a couple of them in German just to hear you talk German, but I will continue to watch in English as long as you put out English videos 😊

[@WantedAdventure]

@Lella 42 Thank you so much for your feedback!!🌟

[@tabbeyah5351]

Same for me

[@maxxos1012]

same for me - greetings from munich :) depends on the topic, but I often wach both versions (english first)

[@twinmama42]

I'm German and have been living here my whole life. When you're doing two videos with the exact same content, I only watch one and it is always the English version. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike your videos in German, they are as charming as the English ones, it's just so that it seems the natural thing to do. You are a native speaker of English and therefore most comfortable with English. You will find the exact wording that expresses your thoughts in your native language, which could be lost in translation. To avoid such a loss I will continue to watch the English versions and the German videos only if there's no English counterpart.

[@annabear3553]

Another German in Germany here - I second this, exactly my thought process.

[@stillegasse4391]

Yes... precise described. Same here. Just one extra from me. I watched the english version first. Why i should watch the Gemma version after ?

German from Germany. Wenn ich die Wahl habe schaue ich das deutsche Video. Diesmal hat mir KZbin das deutsche Video vor 2 Tagen vorgeschlagen, das englische gerade eben. Untertitel nutze ich selten.

[@irian42]

German from Germany: I only watch the English version but I tried the German version. I just like to listen to English videos in general. And I have to admit I am focused more on the content when you speak English. In the German version I am concentrating more on you as the speaker.

Hallo Dana, ich schaue deine Videos in Deutschland auf Englisch, um mein Hörverständnis zu verbessern. Dein Englisch kann ich sehr gut verstehen, weil du eine ganz saubere Aussprache hast. Wenn ich mal ein Wort nicht verstehe, ahne ich schon wie es geschrieben wird, weil du so schön deutlich aussprichst. Mir gefallen auch alle Kuriositäten der Sprachen, Kommunikation und Etymologie. Viele Grüße aus Norddeutschland!

[@wolfgangbuck2589]

I have just commented on your German-language video. I wrote that I didn't get notifications for the English-language videos. And well, minutes later I got this one displayed. :-)

[@Pixxelshim]

I am an American living in northern Germany. I watch the English version, and have recently watched the companion in German. Knowing the subject and "script", I can understand a little more of the German than without. I really appreciate the subtitles!!!!!!!!!!! They help a lot. The German language has been difficult for me to learn, as I am no longer a "spring chicken, although not yet an "old Dog".

[@WantedAdventure]

@John Sears Thanks so much for your feedback!!😊✨ Best wishes to you for learning German!!!🇩🇪🎉

I'm from Germany (native German speaker) and prefer watching your videos in English. I'm used to your English videos and your English is very well understandable for me without subtitles.

[@dieterbuchholz7275]

Hi Dana My intention to watch your videos is to improve my English skills which means I watch the english version as a German. Another reason is the entertaining you do. It is not boring to watch you explaining your life, talking about topics of interest and so on. It is fun to learn more about Germany as a German and differences to America. Go on with it, regards Dieter

@Екатерина К Thanks so much for your feedback!😊🌟

[@teschi23]

German dude here living in Bavaria in his 40’s. If there are 2 videos I'll usually pick the English one. This is what I am used to watch since a while now and listening to you speaking English feels a bit more natural to me. Stuff I watch on KZbin happens to be about 90% English anyway, and usually I prefer watching movies in English OV over dubbed versions. So my choice of language might not be too surprising. Thanks for all the content

[@iceboyxde]

I am native German, but I like watching most of my stuff in English. And i am totally use to you talking English :)

[@jayhey6038]

It's way more convenient for me as a German to watch your english videos, since you speak more in a flow. I just sometimes look into a few moments of the german video, to compare those two and to be honest, it's kind of entertaining for me to hear you speak some snippets in german.

[@morakinchen]

Ich bin muttersprachlich Deutsch und schaue in der Regel die englischen Videos, weil Du da flüssiger sprichst und das angenehmer zu schauen ist. Dein Deutsch ist gut, und manchmal schaue ich auch in die Videos hinein, aber in den meisten Fällen ist es die englische Version. Da beide Versionen quasi nebeneinander in meiner Aboliste stehen, ist es einfach zu sehen, welche Optionen ich habe.

[@WantedAdventure]

@Umbergail Tripplethorn Vielen Dank für das Feedback!!😊🌟

[@mrscary3105]

I am an American from Western NY and I have been watching for years. :) (I was born in America, but my family is all German)

[@annamem4707]

American here! I don't speak German, but I often times watch both videos either to support your channel or for some kind of background noise. I grew up with a German family (my mom speaks German, my maternal grandparents are German immigrants, and a large portion of my family lives in Bavaria) and I am able to pick up on some of the German words in your videos from listening to my family speak German and from picking up a few words here and there from when I visited Germany. I don't always watch the German videos, but I do find it entertaining to see how much I can understand in your German videos.

[@lars-hendrikschilling3531]

I will be hopelessly German and blunt here: I usually listen to you in the background while I work. And my brain finds it easier to listen to you in a foreign language that I speak fluently than autocorrect for your accented pronunciation. Sorry. PS: I always "watch" with English subtitles on because my app automatically switches them on and since I don't look at the screen I'm too lazy to switch them off.

[@alishavornbrock2533]

I love watching your videos both in English and in German so that hopefully I could learn/practice my German! But I first started watching your videos oh my god 5 ish year’s ago. Because I was trying to prepare myself about “people, places and culture” of Germany! Because of your videos it helped me so I didn’t have a huge cultural shock. Even tho both times I went with my school and our teacher tried to prepare us for the trip. Your videos even oddly helped me when I went to a farmer’s market with my host family! My host dad was asking me the name of different fruits and vegetables in German. One of the vegetables was white asparagus. I thought of your video and his face said more than a million words!🤣🤣🤣 Because like you said in your video we do not have a white asparagus season in America. So Donna I want say thank you so very much for all help and all stuff you have all taught me.

[@glendaslanina9939]

Hi Dana…I live in the US and am an English speaker, who has a marginal grasp of the German language. I watch the English video first and then the German one to check my understanding. I would like to see Stefan join in more often. You make a good team. Thank you for producing these videos. I really enjoy them and always look forward to the next one.

[@thomasstroh2845]

Hi Dana, always fun to watch your videos. I'm German, living in Canada. So I have an expat's perspective both on my home country and on North America. Your videos are mirroring that experience, that's what I find most interesting. Since you've started doing videos in both languages on the same topics I've sometimes watched and liked both of them. But I've been following your channel for years now and I'll continue to watch the English version if I do not want to take the time watching the same video in different languages because it just seems more natural listening to you speaking English. BTW, the notifications work on my end and show me both versions of the videos.

[@WantedAdventure]

@Thomas Stroh Thanks so much for the feedback!!😊🌟

[@zeanon1965]

I watch you videos because you have a charming personality and I use to live in Germany as an American soldier with German heritage ! So you are a link to both countries and cultures ! Thank you for your shows !

[@bigscarysteve]

Who am I and why do I watch your videos? I am an American. I am from an area of the USA that is exclusively monolingual in English. I didn't do very well in middle school or high school. Then one day I was in French class (which I was on the verge of flunking out of) and I had a breakthrough. Suddenly, grammar (which I had never understood) all fell into place for me, and I went from being the worst student in the class to being the best. I now know that my learning style is very different from what teachers want to see (which is why I did so poorly in school), and that's especially true for my approach to learning languages. I studied German as well as French the next two years, and then I went on to be a foreign language major in college because it was the only thing I was good at. That turned out to be a mistake, as there was no job waiting for me when I got out of college. I would have been better off to have skipped college altogether. I watch YT videos in German and French to get some listening practice and to see how badly my foreign language skills have deteriorated in the past 35 years. As you can see, I don't respond in German. If I were to translate this comment into German, it would take me hours to do so, and I don't have that kind of time to devote to something as inconsequential as a YT comment. I have noticed some unconscious changes to my approach to foreign languages have taken place over the last 35 years, though. Any foreign language that I hadn't studied used to be absolutely impenetrable to me. I couldn't understand even the simplest things in Spanish despite having studied French. A lot of people at college mocked me for this. Now I find I can sometimes understand bits and pieces of both Spanish and Italian. I guess my brain has been doing something during all this time that I've let my foreign language skills lie fallow. I find that I can also sometimes understand Dutch, but it's not as easy as Spanish or Italian. If I can understand something in Spanish or Italian, my comprehension is immediate. When it comes to Dutch, at first it's incomprehensible, and then I say to myself, "Oh--that would be _blah blah blah_ in German"--and then I understand it.

[@PeterKlausSchmelzer]

Why?... Resons are uplifting. Im german and i watch the english version because it helps my own english skill while listen to you. You speak a very clear understandable english version and this in a very cute temperament. Second reason: You enables a little view into "How americans think"... so from my point of view i understand Americans in general better because of your videos. Not only by there language but there thoughts. So: You help for more international understanding in general :-) Thank you for your work!

[@thekenneth3486]

U.S. viewer. I normally watch the English version. Sometimes I feel like watching the German version, though, because I took several years of German in high school, yet I find it very difficult to understand videos from native Germans. Weirdly, I suppose because of your American accent, I can understand your German surprisingly well. Thus it's fun to "practice" my German by listening to an American speak it. 🤔

[@WantedAdventure]

@The Kenneth Thanks so much for your feedback!!! And awesome that you can understand my German so well!!!🤩 I've gotten similar comments from other Americans too (about them finding it easier to understand me speaking German). It's so interesting!! Really cool too!😊

[@TheSaintFox]

I am a native german speaker and understand english usually without any hassle. I watch whatever you come up with. If you have two versions I watch both versions if I have the time. If not I prefer the German video, because you sometimes give me clever ideas about my native language. I grew up with it, so I have few feeling about how special and fun some sayings and words are. You are able to give me a look on my language from another point of view. I confess that I always turn off your subtitles. As long as I understand everything they distract me from the video and what you are talking about. I am interested in languages in general and when you speak german I feel kind of a companionship with me learning for instance norwegian. It is not only a different language that one explores but a different culture what makes it even more interesting. And every day words (Mülldeponie!) suddenly sound like something enchanted. 🤩

[@TrippingtheBrightFantastic]

American in America. I speak English and some French. I've watched the channel for years. I always watch the English videos. I've thought of going to live in Europe myself over the years. As someone who speaks a second language herself, I will sometimes watch the German videos (even though French is my second language) to hear how you have progressed learning German. I love hearing you just speak, fluently, in a second language. It makes me want to re-learn French. Also, as others have pointed out, you explain your point a little differently in each language. Sometimes it adds more insight.

[@scottca9780]

I only just discovered the paired videos in both languages. I'm a beginner German student and I'm trying to watch the English video first so I have some idea what it's about, then watch the German video and see how much I can follow along. I'd probably find I only understood a quarter of it without the prior knowledge. I watch a lot of Easy German videos but sometimes I end up reading instead of listening, so I think your approach is going to be useful to me. In any event, thanks for making them.

[@actua99]

As a Dutch viewer, I've viewed both language versions, because I was curious how they'd differ. Also, I've been practising my German on and off, so I was glad to see I could follow the German versions without subtitles and even comment on them in German (although heaven knows whether it was any good :S) In general, I've watched the German version first and then the English one, to see if I'd missed something.

[@mwittmann2710]

Hej Dana. I'm German and use to watch the english videos. Your videos are a good practice for me to listen to and understand the english language without being an an language lesson. And after all you talk about a lot of interesting things

[@Heidielle]

Hi! I'm a Finn who loves learning about other languages and cultures. From your videos I can learn about two at the same time. I speak English, but not German so I tend to watch the English videos. Sometimes though, I like to see how much of German I can understand through knowing English and Swedish. Usually German culture is more closely related to Finnish culture, but sometimes I learn interesting new things about that as well.

[@WantedAdventure]

@Heidi J. Thanks so much for your feedback!!😊✨

[@florisvansandwijk6908]

Hallo Dana, I'm Dutch, and I can understand both English and Deutsch without any problem. When you started doing duo videos I watched both, just to see what the differences would be. But now I either watch the English or the German version, depending on my mood (and a bit on which is the shorter one 😊).

[@jan-peterbrodersen3302]

Kudos to the Dutch People! All the Dutch People I met or worked with understood/spoke German/English and most time French. I was always very impressed.

[@kerstinneidhardt9505]

German from Germany Here :) I tend to primarily watch your English videos for several reasons: I guess I'm kinda used to listening to you speaking English and although I generally like British better and try to find someone to listen to as a sort of "role model" for my pronunciation, I found I just really like listening to you talking in English (nice and clear pronunciation, enthusiastic, ..) I like it better to gain new insights into the cultural differences between Germany and the USA while having this sort of "Outside View" from the American perspective Last but not least: I feel like you're more at ease with talking in your L1 (of course you are, who wouldn't be?) and that makes the videos seem somehow more authentic to me if that makes any sense at all? All that is to say with the background information that I definitely still enjoy watching videos with you speaking German every now and then - it's also nice to see how your pronunciation and grammar evolve Hope this was any help at all and not just me blabbing on about sth :D

[@andrewcram6032]

I watch your channel because I am learning German in my free time and with private classes through EUS. I will admit I mostly watch the German videos (it would be cool to have another podcast which contribute money for). Also your German has improved so well that I am inspired as a native American English speaker to learn German. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@SchlomoGross]

I watch your videos in English. The reasons: I was born here in Munich, grew up in an Bavarian/American environment, my cousins came from the US (Florida and later New Mexiko) and you sound very similar to my cousin Anita. As kids we spoke a crude mixture of Bavarian and English, and when you talk, I remember the time, when we were young (in der early sixties). Meanwhile my favorite locations in Munich do no longer exist (McGraw facility in Harlaching, the AFN and so on), but when I see your videos and hear you talking, the memories are present again.

[@deliaconny]

I'm a Swiss(German) subscriber for several years, currently based in the UK, previously in Germany. Somehow, I have simply gotten used to consuming youtube content in English (not just your channel, but in general), and so without thinking much I habitually go for that version, especially if it appears that the content of both videos is (roughly) the same. If you post an individual video in German though, I tend to watch that one, too, of course ;-)

[@arkasytyt]

I (German, German as native language) actually always watch the English versions of the videos.I knew from the beginning that German versions exist, but I want to improve my English. I'm 17 years old, I'm doing my Abitur next year (in Bavaria the English Abitur is compulsory) and I've learned a lot through English KZbin videos in the last years, so why stop now? Sometimes I also watch both versions of your videos, for example to hear your questions to Americans and Germans. P.S: I don't have the bell activated, but I always see both videos in the subscription section in the KZbin app.

[@mellixxx2588]

Hi Dana, I am German and only watched the English versions of your videos because 1. I generally prefer watching videos in English and 2. I only “know” you in English :) Watching both versions would be too time consuming so I chose the English one. But I really appreciate your effort making two versions of every video. Also, as I am a German teacher, I am kind of in teaching ear mode when I watch your German video. Not because you make mistakes. More because my ears automatically switch to teaching mode when hearing a non native speaking German :-) Liebe Grüße aus Norddeutschland!

American. English. I enjoy the content and your energy. I've been studying German for a year and a half, so I've been trying to make time to watch the videos you have that are in German to help me practice hearing the language better. Sadly, I frequently use KZbin videos for background noise while doing other tasks. I can keep up with what is going on in the English versions, but would need to be confused on the video for the German versions. Grüße aus Utah! 😉

I also enjoy your German version videos, but I still watch your English videos more likely. By the way: Beautiful scrunchie! :-) I think I ordered the same a few weeks ago :D

[@carap7591]

I usually watch both. I watch the English video first (because English is my first language), and then I watch the German one to practice my German comprehension.

I live in America, but my grandmother was a war bride from German, and my aunt was born there, so I like to watch both videos trying to grasp the German Language enough to have confidence to really try and learn,and maybe surprise my aunt someday. So yes please keep the English subtitles, the Language is entrancing to me, but I have no idea what you are saying without the subtitles. 🖤

[@jeffreysahaida1111]

I like to watch both of your videos as well as a few others from other speakers which are totally awesome. You sound happy and full of energy. I have been in Germany 40 years ago and understand some German, but not much. Like I can still count in German and know small phrases . So I watch your German version just top see how I remember... I mainly check you people out is because I loved being in Germany and like to see what's the same and what's different after reunification . BTW I'm from Wis and we still have lots of German traditions , fests and some culture. One video you can do is ask feedback on what's the same and what's different in Germany after the country reunited. I remember us soldiers had to do lots of bs and I'm sure native Germans did the same thing. It's been 30 years so maybe some have no idea what life was in Germany like before ,and some old people like me would like to know what it's like today not having to worry about the Soviets.

[@keapfundheller8130]

Hi Dana! I'm a german native, watching at last the english version. It depends on how much time I've got, if I watch the german afterwards. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. My main reason to watch your videos is to get a different view to my culture, my language, my own habits. I really adore you speaking german (and seeing/hearing your approvements). I can't exactly say, why I start with the english version, maybe, it's because I am so much used to watch your videos in english, or I want to know, if I can challenge the english version, or I just get the notification of the english version first... I guess, it's a mixture of it. (I think I got all notifications, but I'm not sure.) BTW: Normally I prefer the british english over the american, but I really like your enthusiastic voice, accent, pronunciation and of course your topics - so I stayed here. Have a nice day! Kea

[@0al797]

I'm Austrian. I'm watching both your English and your German Videos. Your German is so good, it's amazing! And I really like those subtle language difficulties you are pointing out. To give you an example, what I recently stumbled upon: "hell" (adj) in German can mean a) "light" as with colors: light blue (helles Blau or Hellblau), light grey (helles Grau or Hellgrau),... b) "bright" as in bright light (helles Licht), bright sunlight (helles Sonnenlicht) c) "clear": after a brief shower, the sky became clear again (nach einem kurzen Schauer wurde der Himmel wieder hell) And then there is a noun "Helles", I leave it to you finding out what this is... ;) "light" OTOH can mean: as an adjective: a) "hell" as in hellblau (light blue) and so on b) "leicht" with regard to the weight of a thing as a noun: "Licht" oder "Leuchte" (Lichtquelle, Beleuchtungskörper) or "Ampel" for the traffic lights as a verb: "anzünden", "beleuchten",...

[@EvilZoe2]

I watch your videos because you remind me of my sister who also lives in Germany with her German husband (and German children). I speak very little German so I generally watch the English videos.

[@rolfmueller4879]

I subscribed to your videos because I am interested in your perspective on us Germans and German affairs. I usually watch the English video first because it helps me practice my English. You shouldn't be too modest though. I'm sure there are many people who just find you nice and watch your videos, no matter what language you speak. You can't expect too much from Austria, it's a small country with only nine million inhabitants, only 11 percent of the German population (83 million).

[@VerrueckteKatzenLadie]

Hallo Dana, ich bin Deutsche, lebe in Deutschland und schaue deine deutschen und deine englischen Videos gerne. Die deutschen Videos schaue ich, weil ich es sehr mag, wie du Deutsch sprichst, und weil du darin oft Fragen an Deutsche stellst. Die englischen Videos schaue ich, weil ich das Original-Dana-Temperament so gerne sehe, das du ausstrahlst, wenn du englisch sprichst! Und außerdem natürlich, weil ich immer gerne Englisch höre. Weil ich da jedesmal was lernen kann, um mein Englisch zu verbessern. Ich finde es eine super tolle Idee, die Videos sowohl auf deutsch, als auch auf englisch herauszubringen!

Hi, I'm a native English speaker in America. I've been really enjoying the video duos! I am a beginner with the German language (just learning for fun because I love the language). I like to watch the German video first to see how much I understand and then immediately watch the English video to see how well I did 🙂.

@Erica Harris Awesome!! Thanks so much for the feedback und ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg (und Spaß!) beim Deutsch lernen!!🤩🇩🇪🎉

[@Al69BfR]

I saw both versions of the video in my youtube timeline. For me the main reason to watch the english version is to improve my english. I don‘t really know if it‘s improving, but I‘m actually at the point where I can listen to you speaking in the video while I‘m reading comments in the comment section. So at least my comprehension seems to improve. And not for your video but for some native english speakers with a heavy dialect I still need subtitles to understand what they are saying.

[@EmSza07]

I look at your German videos for the reason I think it's really interesting how you speak very good German as an American and your accent is really better. I watch your videos in English because I find your opinion on Germany, Austria, etc. in English somehow interesting. Greetings from Austria!

I started watching your videos because of the content (comparisons between US culture and Germany) and I almost exclusively watch them in English as I am a German native speaker and would like to improve my English as well.

Then I recognized, my english understanding abilities improve (what a surprise!) and got stuck at some of the creators (those I could understand without difficulties). So I watch at first your English video and than your German video out of curiosity and because I'm amazed by your German skills (and the algorithm)

[@AlmondLBD]

German living in the UK. I watch your stuff in English because I discovered you in English and I watch KZbin in English and watching a German video always throws me off slightly.

[@FeuerhammerX]

As a native English speaker I mainly watch your videos in English. Sometimes I watch them in German to practice and because your accent is easier for me to understand. I am the .01% watching from Canada.

[@prius_magnus3834]

Hello Dana, a German in Germany here (so I apologize in advance for my bad English): I found you on Yotube years ago (2017 or 2018), when you made your videos just in English. So I am used to listen to you in English. But to be honest I did not watch you for the last 2 years. Just one Week ago I reclicked on your channel and I wondered myself: why did I stopped watching you? You are such an sympathic, positive person and I enjoy watching you English videos. You have a nice pronunciation and clear voice, it is easy to understand you in English, I like that a lot. :Thumbs up: Then I recognized you German versions of videos and I thought: weird. I watched some of the German videos as well, which I also enjoyed, but I still prefer the English ones. For me: Dana = Speaking English :) BUT: Past in 2018 I remember I was always excited to hear you speaking German, because it was new and kinda funny and also kinda other Dana (another facet of this fascinating person). So when I saw your "new" German videos of course I watched them, but then I switched back to your English videos, because they seem to be more you for me. Interestingly: KZbin algorithm recommended the German version, so I watched both (led to the english version by your info-box). Keep going, I guess I would watch you no matter in which language. To describe how I watched the videos I missed the last few years, I would say: "Ich habe sie (die Videos) weggesuchtet." :D And one last mention: Watching your "new" German video I recognized how much you improved your German - it is amazing to see this progress, pretty cool.

[@stephanteuscher6583]

As a German I prefer to watch your english videos because I can learn a lot and improve my english skills. You are pretty good to understand because you don't have a difficult accent and last not least - you are easy on the eyes. =:-)

[@allisonlucas018]

As a Canadian, I watch the English speaking ones UNLESS the German ones has English subtitles. I don't know enough German to be able to watch it and get anything from it yet.

[@Trifler500]

I'm an American and I watch your English videos, so I guess I'm somehow outside the norm. :) I could definitely see English speakers who are interested in learning German watching both to compare.

[@joergbischoff2503]

Dana, you do you! For me is it probably that old habits die hard. I still prefer watching your videos in English, even though you speaking German is very cute. I am a native German Speaker, I surround myself with English every day. Right now, I am watching you in English, writing in English a comment and having an english stream open in the background. Please don't worry to much about, why people do certain things. People are weird. Jörg (just pronounce it jerk😉)

[@vonromberg4825]

Native German here. From Germany. Watching the english versions only. I am interested in your insight as an American into my country and he ways we here in Germany are. It feels somehow more authentic to listen to you speaking your native tongue. And I like the opportunity to improve my skills listening to a native US-speaker. Besides: I never needed any subtitles to undestand you. And thats really fine.

[@wind-upboy939]

I'm German. I've watched some of the older videos that were only in English to find out, how people from the US see Germany. And finding out differences is also interesting to me. Now, it feels more natural to watch the English videos.

[@sophieheinze8318]

I like watching the English version, because I was in the USA and it is so nice to hear somebody speaking English. So I am still hearing and sometimes speaking English, so I don’t forget it. Thanks for both versions

[@WantedAdventure]

@Sophie Heinze Thanks so much for your feedback!!!😊🌟

[@freddofrosch1]

I am a German living in Australia for 16 years. I watch your videos only in English. You can e press yourself better in English and I like to see what you discover about Germany. Your German is really good, with a slight Bavarian twist, and your improvements are a delight to see.

[@pattymorriello586]

I'm American and I watch the English version I see both videos on my subsciptions thats how I know about both videos

[@NicolaW72]

(Female) German in Germany here: I usually watch your English video. First for the reason which is already stated in a couple of comment here: You´re more precise on the issue in English because it´s your native language. The second reason is that I was once pretty good in English, I even lived two years in the US - but that is now long ago and I usually try to stay as much in English as it is possible under my current circumstances - it´s the same with muscle´s: use it or loose it.

[@janini1232]

I came from the german videos, which was recommended to me first. 😁 To summarize: I find it nicer to listen to you in english because it sounds more natural, same reason why i always watch Netflix in english unless it is a german production. So yeah, I also watch the videos that are for americans, just for fun. It‘s interesting 😂 And i also watch your german videos, because it‘s itneresting to me what „small mistakes“ are still in there or how you say things in german.

[@pierreabbat6157]

I'm American in America; German is my fourth, and first non-native, language. I think I watched both the questions for Americans and the questions for Germans, but normally, if a video comes out in two languages, I'll watch just one. For yours, it's more often the English version, but I think I watched Name in German. For David Tuggy's videos, it's whichever comes first in my feed, which I think is usually Spanish (my third language).

[@biancarichling789]

I watch your english Videos to improve my Pronounciation. Reading and understanding is one Thing, correkt Speaking is another, but i'm sure you noticed while learning german. I listen to english Audiobooks, watch Movies in english (and other Languages) and read english Books. It's the best way to learn a new Language, at least for me. I'm also following multiple english KZbinrs like James Bray, Jason Paradise, some Mystery Channels and some other. I like the different english accents. Love you, mach weiter so. P. S.: Das Englisch deines Mannes hat mindestens einen ebenso schweren Akzent, wie dein Deutsch, klingt immer wieder lustig, ihn englisch sprechen zu hören. Grüße an die Familie von einem Fan aus Kyritz in Brandenburg.

[@spaxes1]

German in Germany here. I watch usually the english vids. I prefer english in general for all of my media content ( YT, Netflix …) That goes to a point that I will watch the English speaking videos of german youtubers even if their English sounds terrible ( I hate the german accent in an English voise, don´t ask me why) As you guessed it, I like to improve me English in that way. Since I started watching movies and playing games in English at the age of 15 ( over 15 years ago) it improved to a point that I can not remember in what language I watched something a week after watching it. I have one of these German brains that get triggered to the English mode as soon as someone speaks not a “ clean” German , I want to help them and switch to English.. that although extents in videos. I know that doesn’t make sense in that case. Keep up the good work! I hope the german video´s find an audience that appreciate them.

[@RichardRenes]

Dutchie here watching the English version. To me, English is easier than German, but if pressed, I would be able to fully understand the German version. Also, there are a lot of people in the border area with Germany who speak German as well as Dutch. For most Dutch people, English is their 2nd language, and we get English lessons at secondary school. And depending on the level of said secondary school, you'd also get German, French, Spanish or Chinese (the last 2 are rare, but people do take them )

[@nessy3212]

And again, i am German, and now I watched both videos, and I like to watch your English videos more, just bekause it is easier to listen. As I said I am very good in English. So that is my choice. 😘

[@Jacky-is8qo]

Im a german and I personally prefer the english video, because I like to practice my english understanding and don't really need practice in my german. Sometimes I take a look into the german version too, just to see how you phrase a certain sentence but most of the time I watch ypur videos in english

[@WantedAdventure]

@Jacky Thanks so much for your feedback!!😊🌟

[@breziwill]

ich komme aus deutschland und lebe auch dort. ich schau beides gerne, bevorzuge aber englisch. ich verbesser mein englisch durch deine videos. Grüße aus hessen :-)

[@3Kidneys]

German (also living in Germany) here as well. I sarted consuming everything in English to better my English skills but by now I'm simply used to it and even prefer it this way and since the videos are similar I only watch one (the English version).

[@huliahippo1452]

Ich bin Österreicherin und schaue deine Videos auf Englisch an (wenn sie inhaltsgleich sind, sonst beide Versionen). Untertitel schalte ich dabei aus. Mich interessieren die verschiedensten kulturellen Unterschiede und deine Beobachtungen über die deutsche und englische Sprache - deshalb bin ich zu deinem Channel gekommen (ich bin Fan seit der allerersten Folge :-)). Ich schaue die Videos lieber auf Englisch, um bei dieser Sprache "up to date" zu bleiben. Wenn ich Videos z. B. auf Netflix schaue, schaue ich sie übrigens auch immer auf Englisch an, um es nicht zu verlernen. Dort schalte ich aber immer die englischen Untertitel ein, damit ich nachlesen kann, wenn ich einmal etwas nicht so gut verstehe. Bei deinem Englisch verstehe ich aber so gut wie immer alles. Danke für deinen tollen Content über eine schon so lange Zeit!!

[@MrDerkB]

As a multi lingual Dutchy, I’m watching both videos. Not to improve my language skills, but just for the fun. For work I have to switch multiple times per day between Dutch, English and German. Sometimes I have a meeting in German, while studying documentation in English at the same time. So that’s why I think it’s funny to watch people struggling in either English or German as a foreign language.

[@rolfgarske8174]

Hello, I am a German living in Germany and usually watch your videos in English. I can understand you very well and don’t need any subtitles or translations. Sometimes I have also watched your videos in German for fun, or to see how good your German language skills actually are.

[@andrewcram6032]

I get notifications for all your videos through my e mail twice because one is from KZbin and one is from Instagram. I hope that feed back was possible.

[@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai]

American here. I usually watch your videos in English because I have postponed learning German for the foreseeable future but still would like to learn new things about Germany and Europe in general. And I entirely shift my main focus to achieving fluency in the French and Japanese language instead.

[@NicolaW72]

(Female) German in Germany here: I usually watch your English videos - first for the reason which is stated in a couple of comments here: You´re more precise on the issue in English, it´s your native language. Second for a special reason for me: I was once pretty good in English, I even lived for two years in the US. But that´s long ago and my current circumstances are different - and it is the same with language as with muscle´s: use it or loose it.

[@Frenziefrenz]

My wife and I ended up watching your videos mainly in part because it mirrored our own experiences here in Dutch-speaking Belgium. But the thing is, she doesn't speak German, so while I might catch some of it occasionally we don't typically watch it together. As for your German, certainly no trouble understanding that. ;-)

[@eslamsalehsharkawy3548]

As I have started learning German, I like to watch your video as I wanna develop my language skills. If you want to understand your videos better and faster, I watch your videos in English. I think some Germans who want to practice English so they follow your English video versions. Anyhow, the subtitles in both cases are helpful

[@MarxWegener]

An ex-German living in Australia watching your English videos mainly.

[@supersat]

In/from the US, but starting to learn German now. I mostly watch your English videos but I did watch your daylight video in German after watching the English version to see how much I could understand. (I also had English subtitles on.)

[@supersat]

I *almost* made my comment to your daylight video on the German version but in English. Not sure if that would be too confusing or not. In the age of Google translate, cross-language conversations *mostly* work on, say, Twitter

[@TheCrimsonFizzlyPuzz]

Hey, I am German and I watch your videos in English most of the time. I rather want to watch English content than German content, because it helps me conserving my faculty of the English language. :)

[@andylegal9537]

german from germany. I can't help it, i just like content in english. Majority of my subs on KZbin are english channels. To be honest, i watched also some of your german content to see you how you are handling the german language and also to see you struggle #Schadenfreude. Don't misunderstand me, i like you as a person, but it is kinda funny sometimes! 😋

[@Sleepover137]

Native German here as well: I watch most content in English (and have been watching your content in English for years now). So if I get a choice between German and English, I choose English. But what I have also noticed is that with my C2-level of proficiency in English I actually find it EASIER understanding a native English speaker speaking English compared to someone speaking not quite perfect German. Your German is amazing, don't get me wrong! I have absolutely NO issue understanding you, but I think that tiny mistakes and the slight accent just mean that my brain has to make a few more adjustments while understanding which it doesn't have to do in English because I am so used to your specific English. If you had a strong accent in English and I was a new viewer that would probably even it out, having to adjust in both languages. But being so used to your English as I am, it is simply easier for me to watch the videos in English. Takes a fraction less brain power :'D As for subtitles - I personally don't use or need them for your English videos but subtitles generally make your videos more accessible not only for people learning a language but also for people with partial or full hearing loss. Creating subtitles is very time consuming but if you can supply them, it would be nice to make a small corner of the internet more accessible ^^ And I usually get both videos in my subbox very consistently :)

[@Raresiom]

German from Germany: I watch the video i see first if there are different versions.

[@CLechleitner42]

I'm from Innsbruck, Austria, and I watch each video, i.e. both if you release a pair. I don't see a reason not to watch either one. Furthermore it's interesting to hear your German improve respectively hear which corners of German you still struggle with ;-) I'm sure there are even more corners of English that I still struggle with ;-))) But I guess I'm not a typical native German speaker. I strongly prefer to consume English-made content in English over any dubbing or translation, both to improve my English and because there are always details lost in translation. I even have my browser configured English-first, and I even switch my smartphone to English on and off. Dubbing disclaimer: On rare occations the translation adds a joke or a reference to "our" culture, but too rare. There's one general exception, the British TV series "The Persuaders!"/"Die Zwei" is rather boring in English but quite funny in German, because the German dubbing is an almost continuous firework of jokes and wordplay.

[@jpo78]

Hi, I'm native German, living in Germany. I started to watch your channel, because I was interested in how an American living here sees Germany. It helps to see another perspective on your own country, and your videos definitely helped me to value my country more. I usually watch the English version, because I somehow prefer listening to you in englisch. Maybe because it started this way, and because I want to improve my English. Vielleicht bin ich auch nur zu empfindlich was Fehler in der deutschen Sprache angeht, mir tut es irgendwie weh 😂 Ist aber nicht böse gemeint, aber mich juckt es dann immer den Korrekturstift rauszuholen, dabei bin ich nicht mal Lehrer 😂😉 Und ich persönlich HASSE es, wenn man mich korrigiert, und ich möchte nicht als Oberlehrer wahrgenommen werden... Insofern gucke ich mir lieber die englische Version an, da komme ich nicht in Versuchung 😉 Hope this helps!

[@olafabels6601]

Hello Dana, i am a german in germany, and i used your and other chanels to entertain myself with some outside views on germany, coming from americans or other countries. I am used to talk in english with my american colleagues, so i prefer to watch the english clips, as they, to me, sound much more authentical. Of course it is much more comfortable to listen to somebody talking in her mother language (and it does make a real positive difference in your videos). To be honest - well, i am german - the first videos i watched from you were very typical topics like "reverse cultural shock" etc., and those i found okay, but the high number of followers still surprised me. After watching the more serious contend, like political topics, i recognized the reason for this quite successfull chanel. I liked listening to your clip two weeks after Trumps start of presidency - that really was a profound statement. If i was you, i would concentrate on those topics.

[@4viertelTakt]

I always watch your english videos because i want to practice my English. So i am a native speaking German. By the way, i love the sound of your English speaking more than the sound of your German speaking.

[@Lilymaus3434]

Hi Danna, I'm a native speaking German and I usually watch both videos. I love the way you're talking and the themes you're taking about. And I love finding out the little differences between both of these videos. By the way are you going to write a new book? I'd love to read more from you!
