Week in My Life: American Living Abroad in Germany & Working 9-5

[@megan9522]

Please always add clips of you speaking in german at stores and such, I really enjoy hearing it because you’re so good!

[@lifewithkatie]

omg thank you!! 😭💕 I’ll definitely do that!

[@celine8878]

From a bilingual german/english gal just want to say I am so impressed by your language already, keep going you got this and I am sure it will bring so much comfort to you when you feel more confident with it xx

[@lifewithkatie]

omg thank you that means so much!!! ☺️💕

[@lifewithkatie]

today's living abroad diaries is a weekend in my life as an American living in Germany! quick note regarding me speaking german: I know it's not perfect and I can hear the small pronunciation/grammatic errors but I feel like the best way to learn and improve is to practice speaking as much as possible, so please be kind in the comments! :) I want to speak German more in upcoming videos so let me know if you'd like a vlog "komplett auf deutsch" (completely in German!)

[@Littlechoclatechip]

Honestly, I am really impressed with your language, espeacially your pronaunciation was really well! A german vlog would also be great 💖

[@KerrMalygos]

It's pretty good already. There are some american football players on youtube, that have been living here for years and their german is way worse

[@hannahszeitkapsel3827]

Wow Katie, I'm so impressed by your German! I've been watching your videos for years and I find it so funny that you ( at least for now) ended up in Germany. Best wishes from northern Germany

[@lifewithkatie]

awe thank you that means a lot 🥺💕

[@michelleredenz2120]

I just want to say that your german is really impressive for how little time you have spent in Germany. I grew up in Germany and moved to the US in my late teens so I am fluent in German. Keep working on it!!! Also all the bakery footage makes me so jealous. I miss the bakery so much!

[@lifewithkatie]

awe thank you, that means so much!!! and I totally get that, the bakery is my favorite! 🍞

[@klauskleber5154]

Don't be afraid if you don't understand everything. Ask, ask, ask, nobody bite your head off. ;) We German like it if somebody try to speak the language. And the most German understand english, at least the younger generation. :)

[@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon]

Hey Katie, I just found your channel! It's so exciting, I had a similar story. I've been living abroad for almost 5 years and Im in London working in fashion. Btw, your apartment is so cute!!

[@alanbarr9327]

I have been living in Germany since 1974. With a short timeout when I was in the U.S. Army. When I started learning the language, I had my fears, too. Fears, I might be made fun of or ignored, looked at in that certain way ("Who the hell are you?") I can tell you! It never happened! Don´t worry, if you get something wrong! somebody will help, by correting you. Not in a teaching manner. They will just say what you said wrong correctly. That helps. Many people over here speak at least one foreign language. So, they know how hard it can be, learning german. They respect you for showing that much respect for them. So keep your head up! You´re doing great! Hope to see your next vlog, soon!

[@beccaschnabel3424]

Living for these vlogs! I spent a few weeks in high school in Germany and loved it so much. It’s been a few years since I’ve taken a German class but definitely plan on brushing up in the future. Happy to see how genuinely happy you are 😌

[@lifewithkatie]

I’m so glad!! thank you so much!! ☺️

[@mariemiller9586]

Katie just want to let you know how much I enjoy watching you. So glad that you're taking advantage of this time in your life and taking on new experiences. However I don't mean to make you afraid but it worries me when you announce that you're alone and for how long I mean this in the nicest way and just want you to be safe whether you're in Germany or back in the states. I guess it's just the New Yorker in me even though I've been living in Kansas for a long time now. Keep taking on the challenges and wonder life throws your way with gusto and that beautiful smile of yours enjoy this particular time in your life. Glad that you're documenting this part of your life to look back on and remember the fond memories and experiences. So happy for you. Enjoy every minute of it !

[@kathrynfirth422]

completely felt your last point about how anxiety provoking going about your day to day life while also being in a foreign country can be. i did a similar thing while living in France, and it was definitely a case of taking baby steps at first (the bakery, the store, etc), then tackling bigger things when i started feeling a little more at ease. loving this series 💕

[@Stargemini11]

These bring back so many memories of living in Germany! Love it! 💕

[@maranostas833]

I have to say 2 things. 1) felt in love with your new back bag, love it. 2) girl you are doing amazing, I want to learn German and move there so, you go girll!

[@michelled5655]

Your German sounds great already! Keep on learning, you will pick up so many things really fast! I guess you’re already doing this, but watching German news or films in German really helps because you hear the natural-sounding style instead of the things they teach you in courses or online. Hope your internship is going well!

[@Lena-ey3qi]

I just wanted to let you know, that your german is great! You haven't been studying german for a long time and it's amazing so far. I absolutely love to hear other people speak my language :) A vlog "komplett auf deutsch" would be amazing. Keep up the good work :)

[@hauntingofjillhouse]

As a German speaker I'm so impressed with your pronunciation!!! Keep going, you're already doing great!

[@erzsebetnilsson580]

The nicest 'casual' bag and shoes I seen so far...!

[@krissihalt4652]

Loved how you started to speak German for a bit. I totally understand that it is a difficult language to learn, but keep practicing. That's the only way to get better and making mistakes is the most normal thing in the world. Would love to see you speak German more often 😍 Greetings from a German subscriber 👋😇

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you so much for the kind comment and encouragement!! ☺️💕 I will for sure speak German in more videos!!!

[@jenvlogs6564]

SO COOL! I've always wanted to live abroad but I'm too much of a chicken to do it alone.. props to you and I love this little "living abroad" series

[@nataliajox1371]

[@lifewithkatie]

[@maikee3758]

Your german is actually pretty good already! And I just wanted to say that I love your videos!💗

[@cupdechoco]

Thanks for sharing you life Katie :) Love your videos! I'm always excited for the next upload.

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you!! 😭💕

[@wsaa04]

Can you film a video to share how you learn/practice German? I've been learning German for a while, but still have difficulties in understanding real-life conversations on the street... 🥺

[@caryntonh1037]

I get so excited every time that I see you’ve posted

[@lifewithkatie]

that makes me so happy!! thank you!! 😭💕

[@LetiraSenkrad]

[@alexaanderson2417]

[@lifewithkatie]

[@lauravanmonsjou]

[@Nolakuer]

[@lifewithkatie]

[@boby4751]

homemade pudding, looks good, you should talk about the reciepe in a video

[@Brocoree]

Im just rewatching your vlogs right now and I hope that I will be able to move to Germany in the next couple of years!! One of my closest friends is German and I wished that I got to see her more as im from Canada. Just wondering though where your 2 crossbody bags are from theyre so cute!!!

[@DrAdnan]

I always wanted to learn German. The language sounds so cool.

[@christinesmith7685]

ahhh so excited to watch!!

[@juliabl6471]

This video is so calming😍

[@rosiepeanutreaper]

[@lifewithkatie]

yay I’m so glad!!! ☺️

[@charthalynhek]

Stopped everything to watch this! 🥳 your german is so cuuuute

[@lifewithkatie]

awe thank you!! ☺️

[@stephaniecampbell8453]

I’d be curious to know if you find a church or something like that in Germany!

[@lifewithkatie]

I’m looking to find an international church similar to Church of the Highlands!! (where I went in college)

[@stephaniecampbell8453]

Katie Horan that’s awesome!!

[@zerinari9607]

Katie Horan I’m really impressed by your German! It’s really good. I don’t actually know what kind of church you are looking for, but there is actually a American Protestant Church in Bonn-Plittersdorf, if that’s not too far away for you ;)

[@crappiefisher1331]

@@lifewithkatie to be honest: i think it will be hard to find a non-denominational church in germany.. it's not really a thing here.. but i still wish you luck finding one.. maybe there are some smaller local ones i don't know of..

[@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon]

I don't know if it's just me but I don't really see Brits going to church a lot?

[@Remilovescoffee]

Oh that’s so interesting..... dairy and citrus upsets my stomach and I’ve always been told to avoid. So your snack was a surprise!!

[@AlexisD2000]

Was German hard to learn? I begin classes next semester and I’m so nervous/worried! The only other language I know besides English is Spanish

[@jennifersuessner3484]

Wow your german is really good!! You should Talk more german on the vlog! I’m from Austria so my First Language is german 👍🏻😊

[@mirandaalexis]

i love the german vlogs

[@lifewithkatie]

yay I’m so glad!!!

[@rajanasir3342]

Ich liebe dich katie ❤

[@diana4660]

Hey I just discovered you and loved this video :) greetings from a german girl 🙈

[@rose-annelebel5112]

Love how you use a mixed date format in your video! You adopted the German dots but kept the American order 😅

[@lifewithkatie]

omg I didn’t even realize I did that! haha that’s an accurate representation of my life right now 😅🤣

[@caleymorales9539]

How easy/difficult was it adjusting to the time change? I imagine it was pretty easy since you were in Germany last year.

[@lifewithkatie]

usually it takes about a week for me to adjust, but the first few days are the worst because I’m so tired!!

[@mitchie9630]

Hey Katie! Just found your channel and I love it! Awesome job! Just wondering if at your work place, everyone speaks German too?

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you so much!! ☺️ it’s pretty international but most people speak german and/or english!

[@lilybloom794]

Wow your German is really good 😊

[@meganvanrooy7937]

Hey Guys, could anyone tell me which Adidas shoes Katie bought, they're gorgeous?♥️ Thanks in advance! X

[@PhelipeNascimentoo]

How many graduations do u have Katie? I've lost count lol

[@lifewithkatie]

I get my Bachelor’s degree in May! 🎓

[@PhelipeNascimentoo]

@@lifewithkatie wow congrats Katie!!

[@camilleparkinson3462]

What’s the song playing while she eats Asian cuisine

[@TravelingThruLife]

Where in Germany?

[@kiliipower355]

Jetzt mal eine Frage? Was arbeiten sie im Büro? Wenn ich mich in Deutschland für einen Bürojob bewerbe wird ganz selbstverständlich erwartet Schrift und Sprache zu beherrschen. Also sollte ihr Deutsch doch zumindest zum beantworten der Fragen reichen...oder?

[@1anna1]

sie kann doch deutsch ? vielleicht arbeitet sie auch im internationalen teil vom Büro, wo der Schrift und evtl Wortverkehr mit künden auf englisch ist.

[@missi132]

So crazy to know that you live an hour away from me After watching you for years 🙈

[@mtafli1]

I wish Philadelphia sold the Kratuer cream cheese in the US.

[@MidnightLibraryx]

You should speak more german in your vlogs 😊

[@lifewithkatie]

will do!! ☺️

[@beckyw5715]

What is Julians major, and what kind of industry will he work in?

[@lifewithkatie]

finance! he’s open to various industries but his internship is in strategic management consulting!

[@Christof_Classen]

*To be perfect is boring, so pls "dont be perfect" ;)*

[@TinaMarieVlogs]

who wants to go abroad?! i make vlogs too!!

[@betnzbetnz]

Ja, auf Deutsch bitte

[@theteachingromance]

It's kinda weird for me somehow as the surroundings just look so "German" to me LOL

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

You have a French accent...lol..., when speaking German, not bad for an American in Germany. Work on your grammar :) Should be very easy for you to learn German, Dutch or Scandinavian, halve the words in English are Germanic. Just read about Grimm's laws, and learn how sounds can change...

[@brucef310]

I typed in hot girls and this video popped up.
