Do I miss American boys?
Probably.
But...
Do I like German boys?
Also probably.
Hello guys, welcome to my Youtube channel.
My name is Montana. I'm an...uh...
I'm an exchange student in Germany this year, with CBYX...
...or PPP. And I'm making Youtube videos.
Today I have a Q&A.
I don't know if you say that in German, but i have a Q&A
Cause i got many questions from people on...uh...Youtube and Instagram.
I said it before, but my German is not so good.
I've only been learning since August, so now that's 6 months? I think?
Uh, like I said, my German is not perfect, but if you like these videos, please subscribe down below.
And this is my last sentence in English, so, let's go.
I have a warning.
I thought it would be easier to film in German, but...
...it wasn't. And...
I believe this is the most German that i have talked.
I got my cellphone here. If I look down, then, that's why.
They're in English. I need to translate. Uh...
The first question is:
"Is German school more difficult, or why are you getting such bad grades?"
And...yeah, i believe that German school is more difficult than my highschool in America,
but it's a very different system here.
For example, there are 3 different schools.
So...Realschule, Hauptschule, Gymnasium.
And all the people who wanna go to college or who know that they wanna learn more in school,
they go to a Gymnasium. So, I'm there.
In a Gymnasium in Passau.
But in America everyone goes to highschool.
In America there are honors classes and then C-Level classes
and C-Level classes are very very easy.
And then there are AP classes,
and those are for getting university credits.
You can decide what you want.
In Germany, or in my school...I don't know if it's in every school...
uh, in my school everyone has to take arts classes,
everyone has to...uhh...take a natural science class or 2 natural science classes.
And so, I think that it's much harder, and also, I'm getting such bad grades
because in the USA our school tests, they're multiple choice.
So, you decide A B C or D.
Uh, not always, but many tests are like that.
Also, you don't have to write so much,
but in Germany, every school test is only writing.
And, just the question and you have to write.
Or you have to draw a chemical structure.
And I don't know. I can't read sometimes, I don't understand the question. And...uhh...
It's...it's really difficult for me.
I find this question very funny, but people asked if my teeth are bleached. Uhhh...
"Wrong white".
"Are my teeth bleached?" And...no.
They're not bleached. Uhh...
I had braces in America.
Most people have braces. I think it's not strange.
"To where do you travel in the USA?"
I travel...hm...
My favorite cities are Washington DC and New Yo...New Yo...
blugghh...I can't speak English.
And New York City.
Washington DC is only 2 hours away, cause I live in Virginia.
And I think that's my favorite city.
Cause there are many museums and they are...or most of them are free.
I don't know. I love Washington DC.
New York City is also beautiful with very tall buildings.
Uhh...but...
Sometimes a bit more dirty and expensive.
Food is so expensive there.
The next question is: "Do you have an insta?"
And, yeah, I have an insta. It's @montana.showalter
I'm back. My camera died.
A girl asked me...
"Are American or German boys better?"
When i talk about boys, it's only the boys I know from school.
I apologize if anything I say is insulting.
I don't wanna stereotypicalize all the boys from both countries.
But I think that this is what the person who asked this question...this is what she wanted.
Uh, i think there are many differences.
German boys are, I think, actually, that they...
They're less straightforward than American boys.
For example, in the USA...
It's normal for a boy to say "Do you wanna go on a date with me?"
And they're very straightforward.
Uhhhh....it's so difficult to say in German.
In Germany...I don't know, it's like...
The boys, they don't show interest.
And they don't wanna talk.
That's my opinon, so...
Maybe it's my fault.
But...
I find it more difficult here.
It's because I can't speak German so well, so, that's a big factor, but...
In America it's more like...
The girls have to wait and the boys make the first step. Yeah. But...
With time, German boys are really sweet, and...
really really nice.
Looks?...Uhh...I find German boys very very beautiful.
In America, most boys are bigger, not taller.
Boys in Germany have very very long legs.
Slimmer than American boys.
I don't know, I....it's so difficult to say, cause every boy is different and...
I can't speak about every American boy.
Do I miss American boys? Probably.
But...
Do I like German boys? Also probably.
So, I don't have a specific answer to this question.
"Do you have to repeat your senior year in America, or do you go straight to university?"
Uhh...The answer is, I go straight to university. I don't know now which one.
So, in March or before May i will know.
So, in Germany i need grades in English and Social Studies.
And then, when i go back to America, i will graduate in August, but...
...uhhhm....I'm...I'm almost finished with highschool.
I don't know how to translate the next question, but it's...
"Can Germans....Can Germans speak English well?"
And, oh my god, Germans...They're English is so, so well.
I'm always so shocked, cause everyone speaks perfect English.
And, yeah, I wish that my German is that good in June.
But...I don't know.
And English classes (here) are so much harder than German classes in America.
Uh... "How old are you?"
I'm 17. Will be 18 in April.
"What's your favorite German candy?"
My favorite German gummies are these "Quaxi" frogs...uhh....
Wait, wait....what is "frog"? Uhh...
"Frösche...Frösche!" Yeah!......Maybe....
Uhh..."Quaxi" gummies! So, so good.
I can eat a whole "Quaxi" bag alone.
"What do you miss the most about America?"
My friends. Friends --> plural.
Uhhh...
My 2 best (girl)friends.
My dog. I miss my dog.
Spicy Hot Cheetos, I miss....uhhh....
Chick-Fil-A.
I miss Chick-Fil-A.
And...yeah.
"Can you understand Bavarian?"
And...not so well.
My host family, they're not from Bavaria, so we only speak regular German.
And I can't...I can not...I can't speak Bavarian.
I know a few sentences, but...uhh...
Well, I can't speak Bavarian.
And also, oh my god, writing? When they write in WhatsApp in Bavarian...
I can't. It's so....it looks like a different language.
I can't read it, I can't understand it, it's...ugh, so difficult.
Thank you so, so much for watching this video. Oh...
No, I have to do it in German. Nevermind...wait.
Thank you so, so much for watching my video.
I hope it was interesting.
Uh, and, my German wasn't so, so bad.
So, uh, until next time. Bye.
