I just wanted to say you did an excellent job. I am actually sharing this video with my international students coming to study in the US in Colorado because it is great advice - with a small exception...While we care in general about how you are doing - but it is such a common phrase used for greetings, we are sometimes a little shocked to hear something other than "Im fine"...Also "we" Americans are sometimes plagued by the desire to be fixers,and it because they dont know how to fix it they dont want to say something stupid or inconsiderate. This is clearly not always the case - some people truly dont care, but I think it is more common that they are caught off guard and dont know what to say:)

[@keepingupwithkathi2632]

Thanks for your comment ! Crazy to know that you'll share it with others but I'm glad you like it ! What you said is true though :)

[@daphneglinzig4723]

Aw, that was a really cute video! I plan to go abroad for one year to the US and this video is really helpful :) Thank you!

@Kathi You have the greatest attitude for a teenage girl I've had the pleasure of watching. You're smart, positive, pretty and your eyes tell me that you're unique... like VERY unique. I get the feeling that you're special in a "Starchild" sort of way... and that's a GOOD thing! Your host family(s) are very lucky to share with you, and I wish you all of the very best in your exchanges. You never said where you are from though?! Your dialect is so well-Americanized that it's hard to nail down... you sort of have a slovic feel (like Russia, Belarus, slovakia, etc), but at the same time I know German girls that sound much like you when speaking American. Oh, I use the term American with our language instead of English, because we are THAT different from "the Queen's English" with our language. Funny, I had a friend from England (still do) and he told me once that we speak Americanese... I thought that quite funny! Ok, so where are you from? *Even though this is so old I guess you'll never see this post.(?) I wish you all the very best!

[@Schokolina2]

Cool mein ein Video auf englisch zu haben 😊 ich will nächstes Jahr auch nach Amerika und freue mich jetzt schon so sehr 🙈

[@toddcorley464]

I love the video! Make sure to make more in English.

[@FabienneUSA-vw6fj]

Super super Video! Und dein Englisch ist echt gut :)

[@nishkaajmera1567]

Katharina Raffs Amazing video! great help! i am super nervous though!

[@redphantom4329]

I actually liked to hear the things that people don't like about the USA. When I was a teenager (before the internet...when dinosaurs roamed the earth) I had several pen-pals from Europe. I even remained friends with some after I graduated. One of them was from the UK and eventually came for a visit. One of the things he didn't like, and couldn't understand, was the love of firearms. He didn't understand, until he visited. Not only did I let him fire some weapons, I took him hunting. He actually managed to get a deer. Afterward, he couldn't get enough. I even let him see an old flamethrower my grandfather owned. He absolutely freaked out when he learned that it is perfectly legal to own a functioning flamethrower in the US. XD He really lost his mind when I let him help me use some explosives to get rid of a pesky stump. He actually set the quarter sticks off. He was actually shaking as he used the detonator. And yes, it is legal to buy explosives in the US.

[@NUREMBERG45]

Omg. ...your so positive, my 14 yo watched you sooooooo many times, now I've got to get the money to make her dreams come true to being a exchange student.

[@voyager8049]

It's a nice video,thanks for your advice!

[@rehlbb]

Thank you for tips! Your tips gonna be useful for me :)

[@jankubes1915]

Ohh.. GOD :O 9:31 that smile %)))) I love it ! :D Thank you very much for tips! Tomorrow I´m gonna flight to Kansas for one year. You absolutely described my feelings! :D

[@nazzy101]

i know that im 2 years late. but how did it go?

[@jankubes1915]

Hey, it went soooooo good, like i dont have words for it... and probably you know what i mean. Everything is there so different then in Europe. I almost stayed there, I got a schoolarship on college for football, but it was to much paper work and didnt have time to get it all done in time.. So Im back in EU, but definitely going back! WBU?

[@junjuneFF]

Thank you.This is awesome.Now,I'm in US for 3 weeks and I really have a problem about making new friends.I feel like I want to say something but I don't know how to say and sometimes I can't catch up what are they saying.I got friends now but I still feel like I don't really have friends.

[@ronjabe.396]

Tamara M. saaaame *-*

[@keepingupwithkathi2632]

Tamara M. On my first day of school I actually switched school and just got my classes chosen. I only went to one class that day and it was kind of weird because nobody knew I was from Germany :)

[@nishkaajmera1567]

Tamara M. Even i wanna know!! even i am going to USA and i am super nervous

[@keepingupwithkathi2632]

Don't worry about it ! The people at school are super nice and if you tell them you're an exchange student they will start asking you about your country and stuff !

[@LemonLeoo]

Hei:) Ich wollte dich mal fragen, ob du Von der Schule aus den Austausch gemacht hast oder über AIFS usw :) weil ich möchte auch unbedingt ein Austausch Jahr machen:)

Sehr schönes Video :D Ich will auch so eins machen wenn ich da bin. Nach wie vielen Monaten konntest du schon so gut dass du fließend sprechen konntest ? ☺️ Bei mir sind nur noch 60 Tage 🙈 Viel Spaß und genieße die restlichen Tage!! 😍🎉🎉

[@keepingupwithkathi2632]

Danke ! Ich war am Anfang schon recht fließend, weil ich viel Übung in Deutschland hatte und auch immer viel Englisch gesprochen habe. Ich würde einfach nur sagen, dass ich jetzt mehr Wörter kenne und so :) Wünsche dir ganz viel Spaß !
