Whats it like to be a British vintage store-owner in Germany? 🇬🇧🇩🇪 | Sustainable Hamburg Hi from Hamburg 2021-12-21 | Hi everyone! Today I'm showing you guys an interview I had a couple weeks ago with Sam, the owner of Fabulously Old Things, a vintage and second hand store in Eimsbüttel, Hamburg. Besides trying on many cute dresses, I ask many questions like how does German culture and fashion trends compare to English culture, what was the German bureaucracy like, and how do her customers feel about her German level and speaking English, and if she had to adjust the clothes she sells to German style or keep it British style. She was featured in the Spiegel newspaper too for opening her store at an unlucky time. I am an American who's been living in Hamburg for a few years. This is the first video (vintage shopping) in a new series where I discover sustainable shopping spots in Hamburg. Let's reward businesses who are earth and environmentally friendly :) What do you guys think? If you have any suggestions about sustainable shops I can visit for a future video, please comment them down below :)You can find more from Sam's store here!Fabulously Old Things (Instagram) - instagram.com/fab_old_things_hamburgFabulously Old Things (Website) - fabulouslyoldthings.comThank you Lisa for your help on this video:Find her YouTube channel here:Laugh Out Lisa - https://m.youtube.com/user/BowBisa

MY 2 YEAR GERMAN LEARNING TIME-LAPSE | FROM BEGINNER TO UPPER INTERMEDIATE (A1 - B2) Hi from Hamburg 2021-03-10 | Click here to get private German tutoring plus $10 off! http://go.italki.com/HiFromHamburg More information about how I learned German below (I learned most of it at University in Germany besides one semester with a private German tutor from italki):My italki full review video: youtu.be/WUmxaHfjtKgMy italki teacher used the textbook of my choice (linked below) during our fully customisable lessons so when I told her I wanted to learn the B1 level in 2 months, we worked out a plan to make that happen. 🔵 In this video I will show 5 clips of me speaking German between 2 years from 2018 to 2020 (from A1 to B2.1). The first clip I was at the A1 level and just began taking classes at the university of Oldenburg in Germany, then I continued to take A2, then B1 with a private online native German tutor (info below). The second to last clip I was enrolled in the B2 course and then I quit somewhere in the middle of the class so I did not fully finish the B2 level but I was almost there. I can speak fluently which I think is the most obvious change from the beginning to the end of the video.Keywords: German learning, learn German, how to learn German, German language, German lessons, American in Germany. How to get to B2 level. How to pass the B1 onset C-test. ---------------------------🔵 The textbook I used with my italki teacher is from "Netzwerk - Deutsch als Fremdsprache" and it's also the textbook we used at the University of Oldenburg for all of my German classes: (each level comes with a Kursbuch and an Arbeitsbuch. The teacher teaches you lessons out of the Kursbuch and the homework you do is in the Arbeitsbuch)🔵 A1 Netzwerk workbook: amzn.to/3eswMb8🔵 A1 Netzwerk coursebook: amzn.to/3l5cNAc🔵 A2: (I can't find this Netzwerk book on amazon sorry)🔵 B1.1 Netzwerk Kurs and Arbeitsbuch: amzn.to/3rPr0n4🔵 B1.2 Netzwerk Kurs and Arbeitsbuch: amzn.to/2NqMTdq🔵 The B2 textbook we used at the University in Oldenburg to prepare us for University in Germany and to pass the entrance exam (for advanced learning): Mittelpunkt neu B2: amzn.to/38qWMQj🔵 An easier B2 textbook that is for daily life and not just University (the book that Goethe uses) would be:B2: Aspekt neu Mittelstufe Deutsch: amzn.to/3qtTUbq_____________________________________________🔵 The full videos from the clips in this video:00:00 - A1 level: youtu.be/OfviqjN9SlA01:52 - A2 level: youtu.be/dxWD_8dZK4o03:21 - B1.1 level: (this video isn't on YouTube): but more clips from this are in my italki review video: youtu.be/WUmxaHfjtKg04:45 - B1.2 level: youtu.be/oNbGXP8oPGY07:23 - B2 level: youtu.be/VZX-t-VjB5A

Two Americans Speak Only in GERMAN to Each Other | @Ryan the language lover | Part 1 Hi from Hamburg 2020-09-13 | Click here to see part 2 on Ryan's Channel!youtube.com/watch?v=R9kZrx106wgRyan’s channel:youtube.com/channel/UC6WBRmPbtcpjfBIrCjU2HtgIn this video, Ryan (from Ryan the Language Lover) and I speak to each other in only German! I saw that he was new to youtube and I had no idea what his story was but I saw he had been learning German for many years just like me so I thought it would be fun to try to get to know each other ONLY in German since that was exactly the situation I experienced when I was in Germany in my B2 German class - many of the students could not speak English so the only way we could get to know each other was with the German we had been learning. Newly meeting Internationals speaking only a foreign language to each other. This brought back many memories for me from my time studying in Germany :) Hi!
