Solo Backpack Germany + Practise German With Me!! 🇩🇪 hamburg + cologne vlog

[@katlantas5674]

It's opening my heart to experience your love for the German language and culture. I am from Hamburg but haven't lived there for almost a decade. I have never seen anyone being as excited about Germany as you. I am so touched by your love for my home.

[@elieruck]

I’m from Cologne and your awe at the city kind of made me appreciate it more. Somehow, when you live somewhere, you start to always go the same routes to the same places and stop exploring and discovering new places the city has to offer. It’s really inspiring to see someone explore the city, not having been there before, I think that mindset of being a traveler could do me some good.

[@UnJadedJade]

Awhhh this is so true for my hometown too!! 🦋 i LOVED Cologne (especially the cathedral!). hopefully the thought experiment of being a traveller and seeing it all for the first time will help you

[@publicminx]

@elieruck: it was already a start if people in Koeln/Cologne knew a bit more about their own city and not just talk about the Cologne Cathedral but also about the unique collection of 12 older big Romanic churches which spread as a half circle over the old inner city (kind of unique worldwide) and some other interesting aspects. In the end of the day Koeln/Cologne was found by the classic Roman Empire almost 2000 years ago (about 50AC) and was already later in the early middle age (the so called 'dark' ages which were not as dark as ppl believe) due to the Rhein River as water trade highway an important spot between Italy (which was basically part of the same Empire, at first the Frankish then the Holy Roman Empire with Germany as base) and England - apropos: almost all famous long time dynasties of Europe were/are in reality successors of some old Germanic tribe nobilities. Those tribe influences are also the reason why France got like Frankfurt or Franken/Bavaria its name from the Germanic Franks (and the Frankish Empire), England from the (Angeln tribe - Northern Germany/Netherlands which were part of the same stuff btw. - the name 'Swamp Germans' is not that far from the reality), AngloSaxons (Angeln and Sachsen/Saxon tribes), Normandy (Men of the North), Lombardy (from the Lombards = Long Beards), Burgundy (another tribe, kind of related to the Saxons) and so on ...

Ich komme aus den hohen Norden von NRW aber liebe Köln auch so sehr! Meine zweitliebste Stadt in Deutschland (liebste ist München) 🥰

[@PeterBuwen]

I'm a little jealous of you because I'm past that age now. I'm turning 60 this year. But when I was 15 - in 1980 - I traveled around Germany by train with four friends of the same age. There was a train ticket for young people that allowed them to travel all over Germany for a month for DM 180 (~90 €). Later, when I was about 21, I used the "Tramper Monats Ticket" for around 200 €, which allowed you to travel all over Europe and Morocco by train. I hope you have lots of fun and unforgettable moments in Germany!

[@msilvia4807]

Two longish videos posted on two consecutive days? What a blessing! Thank you for your amazing content, Jade, you inspire me so much

[@UnJadedJade]

Literally people like you are the reason I create!! Thank you for your loveeee 🦋

[@waldzwerg7814]

Definitely! I was surprised by seeing another video is posted. I have to agree. - Amazing and comfy content. p.s.: A personal impossible list was made.

[@msilvia4807]

@@waldzwerg7814 I also made one! lol

[@emmaalexwatson]

Dude I did not expect the attractive guy twist in the vlog but you're so cute and it reminded me how its such a universal feeling of being all giddy when you find someone attractive lol. Excited for next vlog. Love you 🫀.

[@frinip21]

Hearing your voice change when you're speaking German is the cutest thing!! As a native German speaker, I have so much respect for people trying to learn the language. It can be soooo hard (even for us German potatoes haha). Great progress, you can be so proud of yourself!! Wish you the best time here:)))

[@freyafabulous3323]

It's so beautiful to see you being amazed at Germany. When you have lived here for your whole life you just think this is normal and "boring".

[@jomasht]

"Ich liebe deinen Ring" ist perfectly correct ! It's the same word, spells the same aswell just the pronunciation is slightly different ! :)) loved the vlog

[@UnJadedJade]

Ooooh wait okay thank you!! 🦋 (& oops I will never get articles right… deinen)

[@micolsalamarobino1939]

I'm Italian, I studied German in middle school, and I had a classmate who was half English. When we had a test for the language certification they asked him how to say ring, he panicked ad said "anellen" (ring is anello in Italian), he was so mad when he found out that he just chose the wrong language to take his panic answer from😂 that's why ring is one of the few German words I still remember

[@Nova-k6m]

Love Germany, watching you for the past years makes me feel like I'm growing up with you.

[@UnJadedJade]

It’s an honour you’re on this journey with me 🦋🥹🤝

[@sethkrebs5032]

I am learning German so that I do my masters in Cologne this winter semester (I'll know if I was accepted in July). I love Lingoda and have been learning alongside you. Your vulnerability and honesty are so inspiring! I appreciate your content and love your message! 💕

[@UnJadedJade]

Eeeep that’s so exciting!! Cologne is beautiful 🥹 thank you for your sweet words and good luck learning German

[@mayaengel6931]

״he's hot and i dont know what to do about it" hahha i can relate, traveling and finding people attractive and being like... ok what do i do

[@secret.history.]

I am from hamburg & it's so nice to see the casual magic from your perspective

[@mercyapolot7757]

aww I loved this sooo much. Marielen is such a lovely friend.

[@lisannekoele407]

Seeing the Hamburg train station got me feeling all nostalgic, had to change trains there when I travelled to Sweden to study there for a half a year. What do I miss that time

[@aprilsvale]

Jade! I have been watching you since 2016. We are the same age so we were kinda growing up together, at least it felt like that. Just wanted to tell you that you are so inspirational. Always. Nevermind how bad was the situation that I had I have always found peace here on your channel. Sending love🩷

[@itsBiologue]

love this jade!! I have truly learned so much from you growing up as one of the first study tubers I watched :) much love

[@UnJadedJade]

I’m so glad you’re sharing your own voice in the study community!! 🦋 keep creating, I’m sure you’re helping so many people. I’m glad I could be part of your journey

[@itsBiologue]

@@UnJadedJade this means a lot coming from you jade! thank you :)

[@tianasammai]

Jadee I feel you ! I'm also learning german (I began at school but then continued with a german penpal with who I became bestiie) and this summer I decided to practice again because I didn't for two years because of my uni timetable! And in september I will go to Berlin for my first solo trip ever and can't wait ♡ I'm also going through a really hard breakup at the moment soo I feel so comforted by your videos ♡ Keep going girlie you're the best Eglantine (a french girlie who loves to follow your journey :))

[@joanakulper6589]

Love your videos as always, but I had to chuckle when you said "Maybe it's going to be super warm" and your first spot was Hamburg - as a person born and raised in Hamburg, I can definitely say has been a typical Hamburg summer as of now, with lots of rain and chilly weather. 🥲 But it is so fun to see German culture and Hamburg through your eyes!

[@pvandewyngaerde]

The piano pieces I recognized as Erik Satie - Gymnopedie Ludovico Einaudi - Una Mattina (intouchables)

[@AnnsHBs]

Liebe Jade, da du geäußert hast, dass du gerne dein Deutsch verbessern magst, schreibe ich dir auf Deutsch. Ich selbst bin Deutsch und habe noch nie im Ausland gelebt. Ehrlicherweise bin ich des Deutschen etwas überdrüssig. Aus dem Grund finde ich es unfassbar toll, wie sehr du dich über Deutschland freust. Ein geradezu romantisches Interesse an meinem Land hast. Just gestern kam ich von meinem ersten Trip nach England zurück und mir geht es wie dir. Nur eben mit deinem Land. Solltest du also wen suchen, die unermüdlich Deutsch mit dir übt und die im Austausch dazu meine Englische Aussprache verbessert. Hier bin ich! (Ähnlich frustrierend ist es, wenn muttersprachlich Englisch sprechende Menschen, die sagen, sie wussten ab dem ersten Wort, dass dein Englisch aus dem Ausland ist.) Du bist jederzeit bei uns in der Nähe von München auf der Couch willkommen. Ann

[@coloramini]

It's very touching seeing my favourit KZbinr travelling through my country 🥰. Dein Deutsch ist sehr gut! Genieße deine restliche Zeit in Deutschland! Vielleicht kommst du ja auch mal in die Nähe von Stuttgart😉. You are a huge inspiration for me! Keep going grl!

[@Nikki-76]

Love this Jade!! Thanks for sharing. I'll be studying in Germany for 6 months, so this vlog was great to watch

[@sobean9309]

[@ayumi-chan7033]

Dankeschön für das Video :) Ich verfolge dich schon sehr lange und du warst immer mein safe space. Ich lebe im Moment in Holland um Psychologie zu studieren und deine Tipps helfen mir jeden Tag ungemein. Vielen Dank!💕💎

[@peter_meyer]

Perfect time for a solo backpack trip through Germany. Enjoy!

[@Eastwind1102]

Your videos make me smile so much! So many good vibes! And it's so much fun exploring my home country through the eyes of someone travelling. :D

[@Jhi934]

heyy, if your'e reading this and planning a solo backpacking trip around Europe, please consider going with the train! There are great traintracks, such as Londen-Paris 2.15 hrs , Londen-Amsterdam 5 hrs , Londen - Frankfurt 6 hrs Ams-Paris 3hrs, Ams-Berlin 5 hrs, Par-Lyon 3.20, par-madrid 13 hrs, Par-Rome 12 hrs Etcetc. It's a bit more expensive and timebound yus, but i personally love the added value of seeing the landscapes change and overall feeling more grounded being an European citizen, and then ofcourse, the environment. Anyways, super nice video and indeed the guy looks v cute hahaha

[@ccx7004]

Ich freu mich so für dich! Sieht nach einer wunderschönen Reise aus :) ich habe letzte Woche zum ersten mal alleine im Ausland Urlaub gemacht, und es ist so befreiend zu wissen, dass man mit allem umgehen kann und alles irgendwie okay wird! Es gibt viel Selbstvertrauen

Erensfeld! We stayed in the same area of Cologne. It looked like a warzone, but it turned out to be a good location and with the subway stop so close to our apartment, it was perfect.

[@Jjjulesss]

your german is so cute!! love it (im from germany ^^)

its so sad to me that everybody only travels to Hamburg and down south, missing out on the beauty of the northern countryside, then again Im happy there aren't many tourists here

[@UnJadedJade]

You absolutely should!! It’s so liberating to know you can trust yourself to navigate every eventuality 🥹✨

[@thegreyshrike]

"oh nein, mein Zug fällt aus" - the most german sentence ever 😂

[@itsraining3000]

Ring = Ring. It's one of the first videos, where I feel Hamburg was properly represented, since you weren't just going to all the touristy areas. Your German is pretty decent, but like most native English speakers you struggle with the 'ch', which you turn into 'sch'. It's more akin to the hiss of a cat, rather than the sh in shoe.

[@GoetheCronshaw]

Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…

[@anna-lena9313]

Omg I feel that exhaustion of listening to other people at dinner. So I went abroad to volunteer as a teacher so the first few month I didn’t really thought I’d learn their language but a week ago I took my first italki class and suddenly I started to understand a few words and sentences (basic basic) but considering that it’s a tonal language with a different alphabet, I am still over the moon when I understand anything. Now I really wanna put my mind into it and take lessons every week to hopefully reach A2 by the end of they year. When I was 16 I went abroad to learn French and I still remember how exhausted I was literally every day. I took me 5-6 month to reach a level to understand pretty much everything (despite science classes but that might has nothing to do with French 😂)

[@luanalestir2090]

Hello jade ! I love your content I follow you since years but I’m a bit disappointed because you don’t seems to promote train over plane and it’s an important topic ! I would love to hear your thoughts on ecology and see more carbon neutral alternatives ! Can’t wait to see you train-trip in Germany 🎉 enjoy

[@zohalarbabzada9654]

It could have been substantially cheaper to take the plane, and time efficient. You have to balance many factors when making decisions such as how you are going to travel.

[@linaestevenon]

Hi Jade! You're sharing such great values and good vibes in here and I am so grateful for that 💚 However, I am struggling with the way you romanticise this lifestyle of traveling everywhere in a fast way, by plane, which is super super bad for the environment... I understand the urge to travel and the curiosity about other cultures, but considering the current climate situation, we should stop flying for "tourist/visiting" reasons (one of the most important action we can do as individuals, much more impactful than going zero waste for exemple), and appreciate slow travelling (which I am sure you would love, because it connects us even more with our surroundings and the locals!). I am sending you this with no will to criticize in a mean way but to raise awareness to you and your community, love to all :)

[@royal8286]

I work 9-5 and she just travels, what did I do wrong? No hate, love you

[@zohalarbabzada9654]

We'll never have the full picture of how she saves, the money she makes, and the jobs we has worked that she does not talk about much on youtube, to know how she funds her lifestyle. Only thing I can see is she decided early on to have a diverse range of places to obtain income from rather than from one job. Even then, that doesn't work for everyone.

[@milikoshki]

Jade! If I can offer some (non preachy, I hope) words of wisdom about talking to native speakers when you're not yet fluent: people want to alleviate stress or discomfort so they will switch to English if they sense those things. (Yes, you may also run into irritated people who are so over language students and don't give a shit. I'm not talking about them here.) Here are some ways you can project enough confidence to keep people in your target language: 1. don't correct every mistake, 2. try to avoid long pauses where you word search or work out sentences - instead, use simple grammar and simple sentences/words so you can speak at a normal pace (pace is so important), 3. Resist using a questioning inflection where you're unsure. This can be really hard and requires a lot of practice! So no beating yourself up if you catch yourself hesitating and questioning. Also, accent goes a loooong way in convincing people you can manage in the language. I'm not a German speaker but it sounds to me like you're already doing a good job there! source: me, I live in a second language that I learned after I moved to my current country.

[@keepthingsupintheair]

Dear Jade I'm struggling so much to understand how you can at the same time say that you care about the environment and climate change... and taking an airplan from London to Hamburg which you can reach by bus or train within one day. :'( All this while hyping the experience of airports and air travelling. It makes me so sad. You have such a power as a role model of sustainable travelling. Can you explain me please? Currently I feel so lonely and lost with my concerns for the environment... Seeing you contributing to it is so hard for me. As I see you as an inspiration for myself and many others.
