What's it really like trying to make it as an actor in Hollywood? And as a non-native English speaker at that? YouTuber and actor @AramisMerlin moved from Hamburg, Germany to Los Angeles in 2014 to follow his dreams and in today's episode, he shares with us which obstacles he had to overcome, how his accent affected his success as an actor, and what his biggest roles have been so far.

After a short hiatus, Josh and Feli are back with another episode and this time we are in Cincinnati! A few weeks back, when Feli was visiting Munich, we asked you all what you wanted to know from the people of Munich and then we hit the streets and got asking (youtu.be/xL0afmWND9I). This week’s episode is the sister episode to that. We asked you all to send us your questions for the people of Cincinnati and then we made our way to the mall to get chatting. We loved this little mini-series and hope you all do too! Let us know in the comments what YOUR answers are to the questions (even if you live in a different city or country) and what surprised you! Did we get you planning your next trip to Cincinnati?!

▸Moving to a foreign country, even if just for an exchange semester, can be daunting and confusing. For many, it is the first time they are confronted with the complexities of dealing with foreign governments and applying for visas. While it all can seem really scary and almost insurmountable, we wanted to help provide a light at the end of the tunnel and share our experiences with immigrating and applying for the necessary permits and visas that allow us to live in the U.S. and Germany. Please keep in mind that we aren’t official advisors on this subject, but we hope you all can gain some inspiration and insights into how it all works. :) We really covered it all in today's episode: From what it’s like to have an interview at the consulate to being interrogated at the border after an unintentional overstay. We would love to read about your experiences and questions on the topic in the comments below! 👇

▸When it comes to adulting, one thing is inevitable - we have to work. Whether you have a 9-5, do shiftwork, or are self-employed, we all have our own ways of financing our lives. While it is something so fundamental to modern society, there are many differences between how work is seen in the U.S. and Germany. A common saying is “In Germany, one works to live while in the U.S. one lives to work” - but is that true? In this week’s episode, we talk about our work experiences in both countries, what stereotypes exist in the work world, and even the physical environments we work in. Whether you’re currently in a “Großraumbüro”, in a cubicle, or just enjoying the podcast in your free time we hope you enjoy this week's episode and make sure to let us know your thoughts on this topic too!

▸After a bit of a Christmas hiatus, we are excited to start the new year with some highly requested guests! Jonathan and Ashton are originally from the Midwest but have found their home in Germany's Black Forest. On their YouTube channel @TypeAshton they regularly analyze complex differences between Germany and the US, like why Germans seem to increasingly turn away from religion or which country leaves their residents with more money, but they also document their personal journey of raising a child there and even building a house! From cycling through the beautiful area around Freiburg and the French Alsace region to the struggle of finding American-style household appliances and wanting to learn German to be able to understand their son, Jonathan and Ashton had so many fascinating stories to share and we hope you guys enjoy them as much as we did! :) Make sure you check out their website ▸ blackforestfamily.com and YouTube channel ▸@TypeAshton to hear more about what life is like for a young ex-pat family in Southwest Germany!

For the last episode of the year, we decided to make it extra special! 😊🎄 So we got cozy in front of the Christmas tree with some Glühwein and recorded the episode while we were on a live stream so that you guys could interact with us and ask questions! (The live stream took place on @FelifromGermany due to technical issues.) Thank you so much for everyone tuning in and asking questions! We wish you all happy holidays and a "good slide into the new year" as the Germans say: "Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr!"

▸This week, we have a real power couple join us on the podcast! Some of you might already know them and for the rest of you, we think it's about time you meet them! Joss and Janik are content creators and entrepreneurs and share a lot of their experiences with the world on YouTube and Instagram. Janik is from Germany, Joss is from Mexico and they're currently enjoying the Christmas season in beautiful London. Together, we talked about how they met, the struggles that come with a long-distance relationship, and living abroad, what it's like dating people who don’t share your native language/culture, and about their plans for the future! We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it!

Matheus is actually a fan of the podcast and reached out to us on Instagram offering his time in case we ever wanted to talk about anything Brazil-related. So - spoiler alert - we did and we really enjoyed our conversation about the differences between Brazil and the rest of Latin America, the language difference between Brazil and Portugal, and the German influences in Brazil. Matheus also shared some tips for anyone who wants to visit Brazil! We hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as we did and make sure to post your questions for Matheus in the comments below. (And yes, the 7-1 world cup game may have come up as well 😅)

▸Although busy schedules normally slow down in the fall, Feli and Josh have been busier than ever. With Oktoberfest and then respective vacations in Italy and Greece, we thought we’d invite Ben, Feli’s boyfriend, to talk about our travels, his developing perspective on Europe, and his first experiences at Oktoberfest! It was a lot to pack into one episode so make sure to send us your questions so we can do a follow-up episode in the near future. We hope you all enjoy and get inspired to get out and see the world!

▸Are you proud to be from your country? Are you patriotic? Why or why not? 🤔 We know this is a really tricky question and it's possible that your answer is going to be more of an emotional one than a rational one based on a list of pros and cons. But it's such an interesting topic to think about, and based on where we were raised, our perceptions of patriotism can be so different from one another! Just take Germany and the US, for example. Those two countries couldn't have a more different approach towards this topic which is why in this week's episode, we talk about how and when Germans and Americans are patriotic and how we've experienced patriotism (or the lack thereof) in our home country vs. our respective home of choice in the last few years. Let us know how you view this topic in the comments below! And if you're German: Do you think Germany should get a little more patriotic?

We’re back in person again and you know what that means… another episode of “Y’all Talk Funny”! We love doing this series as we get to hear directly from you listeners, and this episode was especially fun since we had quite a few English-speaking participants this time as well as the classic German dialects. Can you guess along where these accents and dialects are from? If you would like to send us a voice recording as well, just head over to anchor.fm/understandingtrainstation and then click on the “+ Message” button (note that there is a 1-minute time limit per message), and maybe you'll be part of the next episode in this series! :)

After we had to cancel our last episode due to illness and travels, we're back with a new episode in which we discuss Josh’s recent trips to the US and France, and the weird sensation referred to as "reverse culture shock" that both of us have plenty of experience with when visiting our respective home countries. Have you experienced reverse culture shock before too? Let us know in the comments below! :)

With the sun beating down strong on Europe and Cincinnati being as humid as ever, we decided to talk about the ways we perceive summer in our chosen homes vs. our places of origin. We talk about how people spend their summers in the two cities, going on vacation, and what summer meant for us growing up. So let's dive into (pun intended!) our stories about kayaking, ice cream, fireflies or and swimming! :)

Although we try to include various perspectives in our interviews, sometimes there’s just no place like home! That's why this week, we are excited to introduce you to someone who has helped out somewhat behind the scenes here with the podcast, namely Sarah. Sarah is a Cincinnatian, like Josh, and currently lives in Berlin. If you want to hear more about her experiences moving during a pandemic, living in Austria and being a master's student in Berlin, make sure you listen to the end! She also has some tips for others wanting to pursue a similar path so if that’s you, we hope you can get something from the interview. We hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

Meet Yvonne and Jen - founders and co-creators of Simple Germany. We are super excited to have them join us for our last episode in June - also known as Pride Month! Jen is originally from Guatemala and Yvonne is from Germany (Latin America and Germany - a mixture close to Josh’s heart). We loved learning more about what led them to start their website and YouTube Channel, hearing about how they both ended up in Düsseldorf and exchanging experiences with them about what it’s like to be LGBTQ+ in our respective countries! Make sure to check out their content to get tips on how to make the move to Germany go more smoothly. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we did and Happy Pride!

Do you know where your ancestors came from? Josh did a genetic ancestry test a few years back and found out that he's mostly German and Irish! Taking these tests and speaking about your ancestry is a pretty common thing for Americans which is why this week, we took some time to discuss this ancestry-fascination in the U.S. and how ethnicity and racism are inherently intertwined with the topic as well. With buzz words like race and ethnicity so baked into the American vernacular, we also talked about Feli’s first interactions with these categories that are almost considered tabu in Germany. We hope you all enjoy our discussion and make sure to let us know your thoughts too!

++German part 1:14:31-1:19:32 - English subtitles available++ This week, we head east to discuss and learn about the devastating situation that currently exists in Ukraine. Our friend Anna - a Ukrainian who fled to Germany - joined us to tell us about her experiences living in Ukraine when the war began, what life was like in the first few weeks of the invasion, her journey to Germany, and how she has adjusted to life here in Munich. And of course, we discussed some of the fun cultural differences between Germany and Ukraine (Would you have expected "tea" to be one of the first topics that came up here?). We are so thankful to her for being so vulnerable with us and being willing to share her experiences with all of us. We encourage everyone to inform themselves about what is going on and to support the efforts for peace in whatever way they can!

▸After last week’s intense German episode we thought we’d take the opportunity to explore some of the finer things in life - like the Eurovision Song Contest and restaurants! We discuss what Eurovision is, what we think about it, and who our favorite acts were. And since we just can’t seem to keep things short, we also covered the topics of dining in restaurants in the U.S. vs. Germany. We hope you guys enjoy the mishmash of topics and make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments!

You guys asked for it and we made it happen! No more short segments where we say a few sentences in German. This week's episode is full on Deutsch! We asked you guys to send in your questions for us and we did our best to give you honest answers. It was weird speaking German in front of the camera instead of English but this way you get a glimpse into how we normally communicate with each other. Do you guys notice a difference? We hope you all enjoy and those of you who don't speak German don't get too upset!

A German and a Kiwi meet in a bar in New Zealand. Numbers are exchanged and 11 years later they’re still together with three kids and are living in Germany. Although it may sound like the beginning of a joke, this is the story of this week’s interview guest Antoinette from the YouTube channel “Antoinette Emily”. We were so happy to be able to collaborate with her, learn more about her story and compare our experiences with moving abroad. Since Antoinette has children, she brings an interesting perspective that we haven’t had on the podcast yet. We hope you all enjoy our conversation as much as we did. And a Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Americans are loud and eat nothing but fast food? 🇺🇸 And Germans have no sense of humor and are overly punctual? 🇩🇪 We asked you guys which clichés come to your mind when thinking about the two countries and you delivered! So for today's episode, we sat down and went through the list of clichés and shared our personal opinions on them both from the perspective of someone who grew up in that country and someone who just recently moved there. Let's find out how many of these statements we actually found to be true and how many were just straight-up bullshit! 😁 And of course, feel free to share your opinions on these in the comments below! 👇

Americanization of existing culture or a childhood tradition? No matter how you view Halloween, we are both psyched that it’s right around the corner! In this week’s episode, we discuss how we celebrated Halloween and fall traditions growing up and how we now view it in our adoptive countries. Bobbing for apples, trick or treating, or dealing with grumpy neighbors, we share some of our favorite aspects of Halloween and look forward to hearing yours!

In this week‘s episode we head west from Germany (at least mentally if not physically) and had the opportunity to interview two of Josh’s French friends - Chloé and Laetitia. Both of them moved to Munich for work and have decided to stay for the foreseeable future. We had a great time learning about their stories, some of the cultural differences between Germany and France and what life is like for a French person living in Munich! We hope you all enjoy listening to our conversation and learning a little more about the relationship between these two neighboring countries!

September 26th is going to be a big day for Germany! The German people are electing a new Bundestag (federal parliament) and after 16 years of being in office, Angela Merkel decided not to run anymore and Germany will be getting a new chancellor. But how do elections even work in Germany? What's up with all that talk about an Erststimme (first vote) and a Zweitstimme (second vote)? And how is the chancellor elected if people don't vote for them on the ballot? In today's episode, we tried to answer all of these questions and give you guys a comprehensible overview of the German election process and the different parties. For more detailed insights, we linked some articles below. Also, please feel free to add information and talk about the elections in the comments below!

Do we think that Germans should be more patriotic? Was it difficult to have our university degrees recognized in the other country? What did our parents say when we told them we were going to move abroad? It's time for a Q&A episode, so we asked you guys on our Instagram page (@understandingtrainstation) to ask us questions and we went through them and tried to answer them as best as we could.
P.S. When Josh talked about having his university degree recognized in Germany, he's referring to this government agency: kmk.org/zab/zentralstelle-fuer-auslaendisches-bildungswesen.html
