Before I came here, I had no idea that Americans did this differently from Germans.
Hallo, Servus and welcome back to my YouTube channel.
My Name is Felicia, and I'm a German living in Cincinnati, Ohio.
So some of you may already know this, but I was born and raised in Germany, in Munich to be precise.
I went to high School there and to College and I didn't come to the U.S until 2016,
when I came for an Exchange semester during my Undergrad.
After that, I returned to get my Master's here, and now I'm here as a permanent Resident.
So I've been living here for about 3 Years now, and during those 3 Years,
there have been a lot of Occasions where I was really confused
because I noticed that my american Friends do certain Things differently from me,
and what I was used to from Germany.

English: 
Some of those Things I noticed pretty soon after just being here for a few Weeks,
but then other Things I didn't actually find out about until after a Year.
For this Video, I try to limit my List to 5 Things,
but actually I have a lot more to share on this Topic, so
if you guys like this Video, make sure to give it a Thumbs-up,
and let me know whether I should make a Part 2 on this.
So here are 5 Things I noticed that Americans do differently than Germans.
For some Reason, Americans have different Handwriting than Germans,
and this is something I didn't really notice until a Year after I first came here,
for, whenever I saw someone's Handwriting, which is quite rare nowadays,
it never occurred to me that's how all Americans did it.
I just assumed that is that particular Person's Way of writing Things,
but no, it turns out that all Americans do it like that,
and I'm glad that I found out, for now I always try to write the same Way that Americans write,

English: 
especially when I fill out Forms or something, because I want to avoid any kind of Confusion,
especially with my Phone number and my Address, because these Differences especially regard
Numbers. Here are a few examples: In Germany,
this is how I always wrote my #1 with this long Line starting at the Bottom
(and I think this is how most Germans do it, or some make a slightly shorter Line),
Americans, on the other Hand, write that Numeral like this,
or they write it like this with a Serif.
The #4 look like this in my Handwriting,
but I just learned last Week that, apparently, some Americans do it differently.
I teach German to First-graders once a Week, and they actually complained about it to me,
and told me that this is how you properly write that Numeral.
I feel like I haven't seen that Difference a whole lot though so, to my american Viewers,
how do you guys write that numeral?
Then Germans usually write the 7 like this with a Line through the Middle,
while a lot of Americans just write it like this without one,
which can be quite confusing to a German, because this looks a bit like a German #1,

English: 
and, last but not least, a lot of Americans complain that the German #9 look like a .
I have heard this so many Times because Germans write that Numeral like this,
while Americans do it like this, and that is how a try to do it now too,
especially when I write something that other People are supposed to read. So just an Example;
this is how I write my Birthyear when in Germany,
and this is how I write it when in the U.S.
Now, regarding Letters,
most Germans write their Zed with a Line in the Middle, while a lot of Americans don't do that,
and a lot of Americans there I's or J's with a Serif,
while Germans usually do it like this most of the Time,
or we may even write it in a completely different Way, because all Germans learn Cursive in School,
and from I remember, it was also mandatory to use it at least until 4th Grade,
or it may have been even longer. After graduating, Germans usually don't use Cursive anymore,
but a lot of them keep certain Elements from Cursive in their everyday Handwriting,

English: 
and it is often the capital Letters so a  would look like this,
which could be quite confusing, if a German writes something in English,
and then the Word 'I' always sort of looks like a ,
or some People use cursive ,  or other Letters,
and, related to this, there is another everyday Difference regarding School.
I'm not sure if this is the same in all of Germany, but, when I went to School, we only use a Pencil in 1st Grade,
and then, starting in 2nd Grade,
we were required to use a Fountain pen, all throughout elementary School,
and then, I think in 5th or 6th Grade,
we were allowed to use a Ballpen, but Pencils weren't really something People would write with in School,
and filling out an Exam with a Pencil is actually usually not allowed,
because it is usually hard to read and it is easy to manipulate afterwards.
In the U.S however, most Students write with Pencils in School even on Exams,
but I'm not sure if that's required in School, or if it is just very common to do,

English: 
and one Thing that I had also never seen before I came to the U.S is this little Thing,
and this is something you will find in almost all american Classrooms, even College classrooms,
and it is a Pencil-sharpener attached to the Wall!
The 2nd thing that Germans and Americans do differently a lot,
and, of course, this doesn't apply to all Germans and all Americans, but it is definitely a Pattern you can observe a lot,
is how People say 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' to each other.
In general, I would say that Americans are more individual than Germans.
Maybe you've heard this distinction between individual Cultures like the U.S
and collective Cultures like they have in a lot of asian Countries,
and while both the U.S and Germany and considered to have individual Cultures,
I would say that Americans are even more on the individual Side of the Spectrum than Germans,
and that is something you can absolutely see with how People great each other and say 'goodbye.'

English: 
Americans seem to be a lot more casual about those Things, they often just say a quick
'hello', 'hi' and 'what's up' and when they leave,
'see ya', 'bye'
and then they're already gone, and this is something I especially noticed on Campus back when I was still a Student,
german Students love to walk around in Groups, and, when they have to split-up,
they will often say something like
'Have a great Time in your next Class, and I'll see you tomorrow in...Class' or something specific like that.
So, here in the U.S, whenever I was walking same Direction as Classmate with whom I was friendly,
I would naturally walk with them,
and sometimes it happened that that Person wouldn't even realize that I tried to do that, because they weren't used to it,
or they would just randomly say 'bye' in the middle of the Conversation.
So, when you walk together and talk about something and have to split it up,
in Germany, People would stop and try to wrap it up as quickly as possible and then say 'goodbye',
while in the U.S, it often happens that People don't even stop and just say 'goodbye' in the Middle of the Conversation and walk away,

English: 
and you'll notice the Difference, even more, when you are in a social Group, like at someone's Birthday dinner, for Example;
In Germany, when a new Person joins, it's common they go around and say 'hi' to everyone individually, often by hugging them,
while in the U.S, it is often just a quick 'hi' to everyone,
and it is the same with Goodbyes in Germany; If the Group is not too big,
you will say 'goodbye' to every single one,
and again hug them in a lot of Cases.
Neither of the 2 behavioural Patterns are better or worse in my Opinion, they both have there Pros and Cons
but if I had to describe this to a German, I would probably say that Americans
sort of get together in separate
almost like a Cloud of Mosquitos
in a pretty loose Way,
while, in Germany, there seems to be more Commitment involved.
This is somewhat related to the previous Point, it's about answering and hanging up the Phone:
A lot of People in Germany answer their cellular Phones the same way they'd answer their Landlines,
by saying their Name, often their Surname,

This is somewhat related to the previous Point, it's about answering and hanging up the Phone:
A lot of People in Germany answer their mobile Phones the same way they'd answer their Landlines,
by saying their Name, often their Surname,

English: 
or their given and Surname. So they'll just answer their Phone and say 'Schmidt',
no 'hello' or anything else. I mean, this is when you don't know who's calling, obviously,
but I've never heard an American answer the Phone with just their Name.
I mean, I know that, for Landline phones, Americans would do something similar and go like;
'Smith Residece Felicia speaking,'
But I'm not even sure if People still do that now, I only know it from Movies.
When it comes to hanging up the Phone, I feel like Americans often sound super short
and almost mean, which is funny, because Americans overall
are a lot more friendly and open than Germans, but when it comes to hanging up the Phone,
German often do the same Spiel as we do in real Life, where we
sum Things up first, then we exchange good Wishes, then we'll talk about when we'll see each other again,
and then we'll "sing" 'tschüss' or another Way of saying 'goodbye' into the Phone, which is also the Way
that Germans say 'tschüss' in real Life, b.t.w. We always "sing" it, and that's also how I do it in my Videos, actually.

English: 
and I know they don't mean anything bad by it, it's just their normal Tone,
but compared to the Rest of the Culture, it really threw me off in the Beginning,
especially when you hear someone talking to their Mother or something, and it's really loving,
and then they go;
'Oh thankyou, love you too mom, bye!' definitely a Difference.
Germans and Americans sleep differently,
which sounds quite weird at first, because:
don't all People sleep in the same Way?
But no, apparently they don't.
First of all, there are a lot of Differences between german and american Beds,
but the Thing that threw me off the most in the Beginning
was this whole tucking-in Thing. Americans really like it,
to tuck-in their Sheets or their Comforter into the Bed underneath the Mattress
and then sleep in it like in a Cave or something.
To Germans, that's such a nasty Habit, we literally hate that collectively as a Society,

English: 
because we like it the other Way round. We love wrapping our Comforter around our Feet or all-around ourselves.
So the first Thing we do, when we see a Bed with tucked-in Sheets, we'll pull them out of it,
and this is very well known in the Hotel business
I've heard that a lot of Housekeepers here hate german Tourists, because we always mess up the Bed entirely,
and then they have to tuck in the Sheets again, and we'll just pull them out again the next Day,
and even though I've been here for a While now, and I have adapted in a lot of different Ways to the U.S,
I honestly don't think I'll ever start liking that.
Americans even say 'I'll tuck you in'
to a Child when they bring them to Bed,
and there is not even a german Translation for that - for 'tuck in' in that Sense.
So that is how much this is not a thing in Germany.
A few other Things about Sleeping habits is, that german Beds usually have a slatted Frame
with a Mattress on Top instead of Box-spring,
and they're ofter a lot lower than american Beds.
We usually have Comforters with Duvet covers, that we can take off and wash regularly,
instead of quilted Covers or a Blanket with Sheets.

English: 
A lot of Germans use Square pillows, I personally don't but a lot of Germans do,
and big double Beds usually have two
twin Mattresses in the big Frame,
and a lot of Couples have separate Comforters instead of sharing one,
and regarding that double Mattress and double-comforter Thing,
I definitely prefer the american Way.
Before I share the last Point with you guys,
this is for everyone who wants to learn German or another 2nd Language:

how the Language is actually used in everyday Life.
I have actually checked out one of their German classes before,
and I was really impressed with how well the Lesson was stuctured,
but more importantly with how well the Students after just a few Weeks.
Their Grammar and Pronunciation was amazing, and
most People that I know that have taken a Year of German in College or several Years in high School don't even sound that good.

Now let's get back to the Topic; So the last Thing that I have on my List of things,
that Germans and Americans do differently

English: 
is that a lot of Americans wear Street shoes inside the House.
This varies from Household to Household obviously, but overall
it seems to be a lot more common in the U.S to wear your Shoes inside,
and not take them off when you enter the House, and that's something that's very different in Germany.
In most german Dwellings, you'll see a whole lot of Shoes in the Entrance area,
because most Germans take off their Shoes as soon as they get into the House,
and in some Apartment-buildings, you'll even see the Shoes outside in the shared Hallway, because People don't want the dirt inside their Apartment,
and there is also often a lack of Space.
So wearing Street shoes inside the House is very rare in Germany
but instead, Germans love to wear Slippers inside,
almost every German has at least one Pair,
and as soon as they come inside,
they'll immediately switch from Street shoes to Slippers.
For Guests, a lot of Germans have a few extra Pairs of Guest slippers,
and as a Child,
I also had a Pair at Kindergarten and later also at elementary School.

English: 
So we would change into Slippers before we entered the Classroom, and when to a Freind's Place as a Child,
it was very common to bring your own Pair of Slippers with you, to wear at their Place,
and this is something where I guess I was never fully german at Heart,
because I never liked that Concept, and I stopped wearing Slippers pretty soon, when I grew up.
I mean, I like to wear thick Socks, but I don't really like wearing Shoes inside the House at all,
and if I do, it will be my Street shoes.
