Janus is the man! I like his mentality. Too bad I didn't get to met you folks. Perhaps one of these days. Cheers and have a save trip.
Thanks for your hard working because of subtitles .
The way Cari runs all the time when she says Los gehts always makes me smile
I think the size of our country is a surprise to some Germans, but I think it is a matter of scale. Germany is a country of ~81.2 million people is a land the size of one of our larger states (about Texas I think). USA has ~320 million people but very spread out. I hosted exchange students in Florida on year and they asked if they could visit the Grand Canyon one weekend. I had to get out a map and show them how that was literally not possible. That being said, public transport (trains buses etc) works very well in Germany, but not so much here. I agree about our "disposable" lifestyle. Trust me, there are many many of us who work very hard to change that, but there are an equal number of people who value convenience over the future waste problems.
+Dave M hahaha that's a nice story 😂 thanks for sharing Dave! You are right - it's a matter of scale :)
True, except that Texas is twice the size of Germany.
My German Professor would actually always compare Germany to the size of Montana. But I totally agree-I feel like a lot of people in Europe don't realize how big states actually are because going from state to state is almost like going from country to country in Europe...
Dave M, the waste problem is about to be greatly reduced in California. We just now banned plastic bags in a lot of stores and supermarkets so that's a lot less plastic being used.
Texas the same size as Germany? Spinnst du??
You didn't drive far enough north to get good coffee. Both Portland and Seattle have coffee shops and kiosks on every corner! The whole Pacific North-West is known for its coffees.
"The first person to run to the cashier is the winner"!! xD That is too funny!! Thank you for the subtitles!! :)
Janusz rocks with that guitar
This helps me learn German a lot easier. Thank you for the video! :)
I love Cari!!!
very good episode. thank you from Buenos Aires.
Janusz ist so ein nett Mensch! Er ist lustig! =)
these videos are so great - I'm just watching one after the other - so helpful
Cari und Easy German Team, I'd like to thank you all for your hard work. Your videos have made me understand the German language even better. Vielen Dank! :)
Area around Monument Valley are part of Navajo Nation. In general, reservations have poor cell coverage, but getting much better lately. I live in Hawai’i now but when I was on the mainland I always tried to have Verizon as they have best coverage in tribal SW areas. Beautiful land though. Miss those open spaces where you can totally disconnect. Y’all should do a repeat tour!
Eure Videos sind wirklich toll. Ich habe schon viel von euch gelernt. Macht weiter so !!
I used to watch Full House as well when I was a little girl!! Great video guys!
Hallo Cari und Caris team :), danke für dieses Video. Das ist super. Alle sind super. Ich bin froh für jedes Video, es hilft mir Deutsch zu verstehen. Ich grüsse Sie
Charming video!
I feel so badly that you lost fifty bucks here! But I'm glad you and the gang had a good time. The world needs more of you. You folks are genuine. No pretensions. I love it! -Phill, Las Vegas
Eine Sache, in die ich mich in Deutschland am meisten verliebt habe, war die Erreichbarkeit von Städten und Dörfer. Sie können überall laufen und Fahrrad fahren, und die Leute gehen tatsächlich beim fuss! Wir verlassen uns zu sehr auf Autos, und es erzeugt eine gewisse Faulheit, denke ich. Alle hier verstecken sich im Hause, zu klimatisiert. Ach, die mentalitat über Verschwendung und Müll ist wirklich peinlich. Aber viele gute Dinge haben wir auch:)
The editing in this video seemed to have stepped up a notch above your other videos
Good work. I really enjoy yours videos and try to learn deutsch from real people. Saludos desde Temuco, Chile....Chao!
Sad in a way, you missed the Elephant Seal (See-Elefanten) rookeries, one near San Simeon where you stopped and one near San francisco (half moon bay). They're huge. and fun to watch.
nice video,thank you .
8:00 I didn't notice for a while but when I looked at your mic, I thought you were holding a tiny hedgehog
Tolles Video!!
It's amazing you visited the FULL HOUSE location. Trying not to be jealous, haha. I h hab sie auch als ein Kind angeschaut, but I can't say I'm equally a fan of the new 2016 FULL HOUSE season.
es ist wunderbar vedio . dankeschön
Danke schön für videos
Oh wow! I wish I would have known about you guys then! I would have loved to meet you then and still do!
@9:23 Ahh Celeste by Ezra Vine! Das ist eines meiner Lieblingslieder :)
Super Folge!
ich lebe hier und leider habe ich die Möglichkeit verpasst euch zu treffen....bin ein riesiger fan! Gruss von bay area.
Ich habe gesehen Full House in meiner Kindheit. Einer meiner Lieblings-TV-Serien.
Excellent observations. I have been to Poland and Ukraine a few times and their view of America was only what they watch in movies and Tv. So they think all of America is like New York, LA or Chicago since most movies are based there.
Yeah, and they only have the old westerns for Texas.
Hello, from Ukraine!)
Ich habe Full Haus immer als teenager angeschaut! Danke für das Video!
*Full House 😂
It's a weird thing about San Francisco. Even with the rest of the state in severe drought, SF still manages a constant state of drizzle.
Glad you enjoyed America. Yeah I don't like how spread out things are either haha. Takes me 30 minutes to get to my college each morning and most people I know drive an hour to get to their jobs. I think some Americans might be more used to the distances but I do not know what it's like to drive in Germany so I can't say for sure.
@Pete Melon Very well, I revised the 4 year old comment lol
"Full House" ist ein absolutes Fremdwort für mich. Ich hab als Kind dieBiene Maja, Heidi, die Seesamstraße, Hallo Spencer und die Augsburger Puppenkiste geguckt :)
danke fur Untertitel mit Translation
They usually say "the next person in line" when they open a new checkout. In NYC, "the next person on line"
Thank you for using the furry microphone cover. No annoying wind blast. 😊
Hallo Cari, Ben, Isi, und Janusz! This is Erik from our meetup in San Francisco with a nice comment for you! Sorry we couldn't find a proper dive bar, maybe next time you're here! :) And also good coffee, I know many places that are excellent! Sara also says hi! Hope you had a great rest of your trip :)
This is a very late "Hi Erik and Sara!" :D It was so great to meet you guys, hope one day we will have drinks in the Bay Area or German again! Have a wonderful start for 2017!! Cheers from Cologne!
Hi! Thanks for the reply! Will you by chance be in Berlin or Leipzig this January?
Cari and Janusz are living in Berlin! Will you be there?
There is no network coverage in those areas primarily cause no one lives there.
I've only spent a very, very short time in the US, but a couple of people have told me that they were surprised how much it is like what they've seen on TV and in films.
Danke schön!
Ich bin überrascht wie viele englisch Wörter in der deutschen Sprache benutzt werden.
Ich bin schon 52 Jahre in den Staaten und liebe meine neue Heimat , wohne jetzt in Georgia. Schönen Dank for all die Videos.
Very fun to watch your video. I live in Florida. 😊
Ihr habt sehr schön video gemacht!
Ich mag die Deutsche sprache in die USA zu horen...
Ich warte für eure nächste Episode.
It's important to remember that your experience in America is going to differ by State. I've been told that Michigan has similar climate to Germany -- I don't know if that is true or not though.
Come to the Pacific Northwest for coffee!
this was so funny your reaction, we in America love Germany and German people most Americans have German blood.
Meine Güte! Wie kann man denn so süß sein! Ihr beide C&J 👌🏼❤️ the best couple ever 😍🙏
Vielen Dank
Ich kenne Full House! I liked the series when I was a child.
Loved this episode! I laughed when I read the translation at 2:30 as "that's not on" for "das geht doch nicht" in reference to having no network coverage. I come from a British American family and that is definitely a British English phrase, not American and made me laugh because I haven't heard it in quite a while! Also, as someone from the SF Bay Area, I was very sad to hear you didn't find any good coffee. Starbucks is NOT the best coffee in the Bay Area! There are so many great local coffee roasters and cafes there, I'm afraid you must not have had the right local to guide you!
Starbucks is so mediocre...24 years ago it was a new thing but now its nothing great
Super Wörter heute, ich kann kaum warten bis ich "checken" oder "ich bin gut drauf" benutze :)
one thing i noticed from your videos is that german language is very similar to english correct me if am wrong but i could understand her by just picking up some words which are similar to english
Cari hat Recht auf den Plastikmüll in den USA. Ich komme aus Los Angeles aber wohne jetzt in München, und ich finde, dass es in Deutschland weniger Plastikmüll gibt. Zum Beispiel in Deutschland gibt es selten "take-outs", wo die Leute das Essen oder Leftover aus Restaurants in Kunststoff-Container zu Hause bringen. In Deutschland gibt es noch weniger Plastikbesteck und Plastiktüte. Aber jetzt in Amerika, mehrer Supermarkt berechnen eine Gebühr für Plastiktüte. Hoffentlich können wir als Amerikaner nachhaltiger werden :)
Wir hoffen das Greta ein bisschen was bewirkt. Sie kommt ja aus Schweden und hat uns Deutschen auch aufgeweckt.
Ich liebe full House! Und fuller house ist fast genau so gut.
Was this also Cari's first trip to America? I am glad she had a good trip! We Americans like to make people feel as welcome as possible when they visit! Bis bald aus Los Angeles!
+hurkydoesntknow yes we noticed that. Americans are really incredibly hospitable. It was not my first trip to the US, but my first trip outside the east coast. It was a wonderful experience :D
Liebe Grüße, cari :)
Tolles Video Cari, die selbe Erfahrung an der Kasse habe ich auch gemacht! Nach 15 Jahren in Deutschland, wieder in den USA und ich renne zu jede Kasse die gerade aufmacht als wäre sie die einzige im Laden. Stimmt, andere Kunden mögen sowas nicht. Was mich allerdings immer noch stört sind Leute die abseits einer Schlange warten und meinen sie wâren noch "in line". Das passiert häufig bei uns, in Deutschland/EU völlig undenkbar! In England ist noch schlimmer, mir ist aufgefallen dass die Leute dort sich an jede Kreuzung anstellen, bei uns nicht.
You are correct in that a lot of foreign visitors are surprised by how large the USA is and how large some states are. There are approximately 40 million people in the entire country of Canada. That is also the approximate population of the state of California. To drive from the southern border of California to its northern border by car on the freeways will take you approximately 20 hours, stopping for fuel.
California set an all time record for the hottest temperature on earth in 2022, 137 degrees fahrenheit at Furnace Creek in the Mohave desert California. In fact, California is most likely on any given day to have the largest difference in temperature within eyesight of each other on any given day. That would be mount Whitney at 14,505 feet above sea level and Bad Water (in the Mojave desert) at -266 feet below sea level.
Janus Is a cool dude ;)
Did you visit Seattle?
I cannot seem to find that video...
Unfortunately we didn’t!
@@EasyGerman
😥
Do anyone knows the music from 6.30? :)
Hallo Easy German Team, vielen Dank für sehr interessante Videos! Wie lange bleiben Sie noch in der USA? Wenn Sie Zeit haben, könnten Sie ein Interview mit Indianern machen?
On the subject of North American travel distances, some might like this riddle about our 2019 road trip vacation - we live in the 48 contiguous states, and the one-way distance, by the shortest possible route to our destination, was 6894 km. Where do we live, and where did we go?
There are so many options! 😂 I would say from Baltimore to Anchorage. Liebe Grüße, Isi
@@EasyGerman ah, you're right, but I wasn't thinking of that direction - I live on the west coast :)
But Roadtrip means that you can drive the complete distance with a car right? :)
And you mean that you start and end your trip in the USA?
@@EasyGerman well almost, I've been saying "we didn't ship our car as freight on a cargo ship"
Music in 06:33? Please! Thank y ou
You're in the middle of the desert and u expect wireless connection? Our country is like 3 x the size of yours...not sure why you would expect there to be cell reception there.
I was talking about the cities and that it was strange to me that some phone providers didn’t cover whole areas/ states. :)
@SteveJames-nn9hp
Ein bischen Höfflichkeit, bitte.
Wie sagt man auf Deutsch "Canyon"? der Cañon oder die Schlucht? Was ist am meistens verwendet?
Um zum Beispiel den Grand Canyon zu beschreiben wird auch im Deutschen das Wort Canyon verwendet. Generell wird aber mit Canyon nur eine bestimmte Art von Schlucht bezeichnet, siehe hier de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canyon . In Deutschland gibt es so gesehen keine Canyons und wir bezeichnen alles als Schlucht
Sorry I missed you folks on the trip. I think you would get many more people (after Covid) if you retraveled the USA. I am in California, but you should travel through the old South and visit Charleston, SC; Nashville and Memphis TN; New Orleans, LA: Austin and Dallas TX; Louisville KY; St Louis, MO: North Florida; etc. A lot of the creative spice that defines America came from that region, things like , The Blues, Jazz, Country and Gospel music. A lot of writers, Hemingway, Mark Twain, Frederick Douglas, Thomas Dixon etc. give us a more nuianced picture that you can find in today's polemic.
Janusz is "Der Mann". For what it's worth...not *all* of us think trump is heaven sent (I know I don't, lol). That said, I'm surprised that you guys thought Vegas was bigger than what you thought it was. The only reason I say that is I drove cross country for 20 years in the moving business (6 with Mayflower and 14 with Atlas) and I had the same idealized vision of Vegas as you guys did about the US. However, I was the opposite. I thought it was much smaller than what it actually was. Anyhoo, it's a pleasure getting to know you guys, and Janusz...keep rockin that six string :-)
Multi-part comment!
- Cari's criticisms were very astute. There is a ton of senseless plastic waste in this country. Also unfortunately for our love
of the automobile many city plans are victims of urban sprawl. Urban planning is now trying to right those wrongs
although often times voters will not support decent public transportation. They'd rather rot in traffic. We could learn a lot
from Germany.
- Africa is much much larger than the U.S. Not even most people here realize that because many maps are skewed toward
the poles.
- Why on earth would we export 'Full House' of all TV shows? That just seems absurd. (yes...I admit I watched the show)
- I was curious if the Donald Trump star on the 'Hollywood Walk of Fame' was repaired or blocked off with crime scene
tape?
- Just wanted to say I really enjoyed this series. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. It's a shame you didn't get a
chance to experience our shitty weather up here in the Pacific Northwest and opted for palm trees and amazing views
instead. Maybe next time... ;)
M. Utley Hey, we have great weather and beautiful views in the PNW too-Remember, even in California they met with rain and fog. I'm sure we could show them rain and fog of the like or even more magnificent ; ) We'll just have to invite Easy German back to see for themselves- Maybe they could stop by the PNW in the summer.
Kjerstan Matson
True. And actually the weather this time of year makes for some miserable romance if you're into your coffee and sweaters and 'Bladerunner' type ambience. Also rain = mushroom season! Es gibt viele Glückpilze.
M. Utley Genau, der PNW(oder die PNW? Ich weiß nicht) ist eine Wunderschöne Ort. Perfekt für "alternativ typ" Abenteuer. Es ist nähe gleich mit ein Ganz andere Land. Ich habe es sehr vermisst hier in Österreich! Wann ich gehe zurück, ich werde Liebe es mehr :)
Stimmt. Also, im Österreich haben Sie die Alpen. Statt die "amerikanischen Alpen" (Cascade Mountains). Viel besser!
M. Utley Haha Ich weiß nicht. Ich habe gewandert in die Österreichischen Alpen und ich bin noch ein sehr aktiv befürworte für die Nord Cascades!
Ihr sollt nächstes Mal nach dem Nord-Midwest (also WI, IL, MN) fahren! Die Landschaft und Natur da sieht wirklich ähnlich aus wie in Deutschland :)
Aber wirklich kalter...
Wann kommt ihr nach D. zurück ?
Bitte kommen Sie nach Kanada!! Es gibt auch hier so viel zu sehen. :) Ich bin ein bisschen parteiisch für die Atlantikprovinzen also wenn Sie hier reisen, vergessen Sie uns nicht!
for me this video had too loud music contrast
Lol. We have great coffee roaster all across America, just ask the people.
Next time visit Seattle, the Grand Canyon, and the South.
Ich mag sehr die Folgen aus USA. Sie sind nicht uber die Racism, Refugees etc.
Du, Janusz und Isi sind super :) Ich hore euch sehr oft. Diese Folge mag ich am meisten. GruSe aus Polen !!!
Could someone explain the part about standing in line? Are they saying that Germans will cut in front of others who are already in a line, or was the scenario slightly different?
slightly different .
If a new checkout opens up in germany , then its whoever makes it there first .
Although it’s not really always like that. Many times the new cashier will point to the next person in line and tell them to come first.
(You can for 2 Germanies into Texas... Illinois is larger than England. But size isn't the issue really, culturally there is no one USA).
what does the word 'so'n' Cari said at 5:40 mean ?
Years later... it's just a contraction of "so ein", here as part of "so ein paar". You'll often hear it with indefinite articles when used in speech, as it just seems to make the sentence flow better: "ein => n", "eine => ne", "einen => nen", "einem => nem". So, for example, "Sie liest 'ne Zeitung" instead of "Sie liest eine Zeitung".
DANKE für dieses video - Cari, Janusz, Isi und Ben! Tolles job! Es gefällt mir daß Ihr eine gute Urlaub habt. Du hast recht, Cari - Amerika ist ein sehr großes Land. Wir haben doch ein Land aber mit 50 Staaten. Wir haben tatsächlich 16 territories, die bekannteste ist währscheinlich Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico soll auch eine Staat sein. Und ja - in Amerika haben wir zu zu viel Plastik. Schrecklich. Wenn ich im Supermarkt gehe, bringe ich immer meine Einskauftüte mit. Und ich stimme dir, Janusz - Donald Trump is nicht ein typisch Amerikaner. Bis nächstes Mal!
Did you cross the Golden Gate Bridge and then get charged by your rental car company?
The system is so complex that even people that live in northern california dislike it .
The rental car companies rip you off especially if you do the opt out.
ih war mal in' frisco' kurz für san franzisko) und fand es ganz toll. würde sogar gerne dort leben, aber das kann sich keiner leisten - außer vielleicht mr. gates.
50 "States", 12-14 "Territories" von verschiedenen Arten, und 573 "Tribes" , die ist von der Bundesregierung anerkannt.
Unterschiede zwischen der Stadt und dem Dorf
this is an old video but i want to say i agree with you Cari that cities here are too spread out, the planning seems nonsensical at times. Urban sprawl, it is a problem. Danke!
I agree about the coffee and plastic! I am American and have travelled to Germany, and their coffee is, generally, much better. And our plastic waste is terrible. Americans need to stop using so much plastic! It's terrible for the environment and marine life. Thanks for the fun videos, Easy German!
Plastic would be fine if Americans would dispose of it correctly.
The problem is that there aren't many places to recycle here in the US when you're out in public.
Barbara Ann Yeah, some places have more recycling option than others. There isn't any recycling on my street so there isn't much I can do unless I make a long trip to a recycling center myself which isn't worth it.
You should have planned a bit and gone from Chicago (where u should have spent three days) across the Prairie to Iowa and attend at least one state fair... I'm an American and the LAST place I'd ever want to go would be Las Vegas. The second last place I'd go, equally poor reflection of the US, would be LA.
Cari, ich stimme dir völlig zu bei den Nachteilen an Amerika. Genau aus diesen zwei Gründen bin ich nach Deutschland gekommen.
Doch! Was soll das! Amerika IST tatsächlich ein Kontinent! Man muss es aber richtig vergehen. Das, was ihr die ganze Zeit als "Amerika" nennt ist nicht wirklich Amerika. Amerika ist ein Kontinent, man kann ihn aber teilen, es aus Nordamerika, Mittelamerika und Südamerika. Das USA hat eigentlich keinen richtigen Name und das macht die Sache etwas verwirrend.
Natürlich sage ich das offensichtliche, aber man muss es immer wieder erinnern. Ich komme aus Chile, das heisst, ich komme auch aus Amerika. :) Viel Spass euch!
Ich stimme total zu, manchmal verwechseln die Menschen Amerika ( den Kontinent ) mit dem Land usa.
Os Rub North America is a continent, South America is a different continent, Central America is a region of the North American continent, and America is the shortened version of the name United States of America. It's perfectly appropriate to call the USA "America" just like it's appropriate to call The Federal Republic of Germany simply "Germany". You couldn't call a Mexican an American just because they live in North America, instead they live in Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, or literally, The Mexican United States.
+Os Rub Im Deutschen nennen wir das Land USA aber auch Amerika und meinen dann nur die USA ;)
Das denke ich auch Os Rub. Amerika ist ein Kontinent, der alle Länder von Kanada bis Chile umfasst. The way I see it, It doesn't actually take much to realize that the US is part of it. It's in its name per se.
Wenn man in der deutschen Sprache mit _Amerika_ die USA meint, heißt das nicht automatisch, dass Deutsche denken, dass die USA über ganz Amerika (Kontinent) verbreitet sind und Chile, Peru, Mexiko nicht auf dem amerikanische Kontinent lägen. Sprecher einer jeden Sprache mögen es sicherlich nicht jedes Mal _die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika_ zu sagen, weshalb sie es zu _Amerika_ (Land) verkürzen. Jeder Deutsche, der Geographie im Unterricht hatte, weiß, dass Chilenen auch im weiten Sinne Amerikaner sind, genauer Südamerikaner.
Ich mag euch Seher .
Janusz is the real deal. He has encoded message, he does not want to voice his opinion openly so that the channel won't get too political.
hallo liebe easy german personale. may be i've some mistake. ich hab noch nicht auf deutsch gelernt.i studuiere medizin, i hab eine wünsche von Sie, können Sie auch medizinische programme oder episode drehen? viele danke im voraus
Ich liebe euch😘😘😘
Ich möchte nur sagen, dass Amerika ein KONTINENT ist, der in drei Teile geteilt ist - Süd, Nord und Zentral. Also, die USA ist ein Land, und Amerika ein Kontinent. - Great video guys, Im a big fan
Das ist 'ne schöne Episode. Was ich bemerkt habe, dass die Deutschen gneau so wie die arabischen Länder sind. Ich meine Januszs Situation mit der Kasse. Ich stimme euch zu, dass die Amerikaner sehr offen und sozial sind. Auch die Natur bei euch war cool.
Cari, denkst du, du wirst Daltons auf dem Weg treffen?
