EP72: Growing up German in the Midwest feat. Lena Understanding Train Station 2023-05-25 | Almost two years ago, we got to interview Josh’s high school German teacher, Christine, about her experiences moving to the U.S., teaching German in an American school and raising a family in Cincinnati. This week’s episode is almost the sister episode (or perhaps it’s more appropriate to say daughter episode) to that as we had the chance to chat with Christine’s daughter Lena. She grew up in Cincinnati in a German family and only recently moved to Berlin - her first experience living outside of Ohio. We had a great time chatting with her and learning about what it was like to grow up in the suburbs speaking a language other than English at home, if she feels more German or American, what German things she grew up with in the American Midwest and what her experience has been like moving back to her parents’ country of birth! We hope you all enjoy this episode and let us know if you can relate to any of Lena’s experiences!EP29: Where It All Began - An Interview with Josh's High School German Teacher ▸youtu.be/m0V3CT0vuTAEP4: Work-Life & Office Culture feat.

EP67: Expect the Unexpected! Culture Shocks That Surprised Us Understanding Train Station 2023-03-02 | Greetings from Munich! Even though Feli's trip came with some complications, she made it home and we got to record an episode in person for you! Granted, we're fresh off a sugar high from all the Krapfen from Fasching/Karneval/Fastnacht… you get the point! Just as a lot of people are surprised to hear that Fasching is celebrated in Munich, we have both been surprised by certain things or culture shocks in our respective chosen countries when we first moved there. From the size of the infrastructure and the true “rudeness” of customer service in Germany or the gun violence and religious prevalence in the U.S. there is a big difference between knowing something and truly experiencing it. Even the most well-prepared travelers can’t be prepared for every situation and quickly learn that it’s best to expect the unexpected.

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.

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!

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.

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.

EP45: 100k Dollars Debt After College?! Money & Finances in Germany vs. USA Understanding Train Station 2022-03-24 | Josh was back in Cincinnati for two weeks, so we got to record a couple of episodes in person 🥳 And we finally got to talk about a topic that we've been wanting to cover for a while now: Money and finances in Germany and the US. While many Americans are probably shocked by the fact that a lot of places in Germany still don't accept card payments, many Germans are baffled by how many people in the US are in debt. From student loans and mortgages to car loans and credit card debt, for many Americans, borrowing money is a normal part of life. So let's talk about the different mindsets and approaches to finances and consumption as well as our personal experiences with credit scores (and the German Schufa)!Download the CHATTERBUG app and learn languages for free with their live streams and shorts!Click here if you're on your phone ▸streams.chatterbug.com/freedownload or here if you're on a desktop▸ streams.chatterbug.com/VisitWebsiteMentioned videos and statistics:EP15: Do we speak the same language?
