You two are adorable together and it makes me laugh all the time. I like when Ben is on with you.

I think "Füchschen" is a tricky one as you see the "sch" which in this case needs to be "separated" to "s" and "ch". Then also 2 different ways to pronounce "ch" within the same word and an "Umlaut" is a must of course 😅

I didn’t have a problem pronouncing these words, but I’m Dutch. We have even weirder sounds, like ‘schrijfschrift’ or ‘Duitsland’.

I was in Germany 🇩🇪 for 4 years , I fell in love with 😍 the country and the people, there is nothing in Germany I don’t like 👍. Beautiful, I wish I could have stayed there.

7:49 I could hear the smile in her voice as she said that, it was so cute haha!

You and Ben are the best couple on YouTube! Love this channel.

I had tears in my eyes from laughing! You two are unbeatable! Such a cool couple... and I think Ben is the most likeable American ever!! And Feli - the way you shine and the light in your eyes in every video just puts everyone in a good mood!!!

Das wichtigste ist ä, ö, ü und der Unterschied zwischen ch und ck wenn ein Amerikaner deutsch lernen will. Wenn man das kann ist es enorm einfacher.

You guys are adorable together. The Video was a lot of fun and struck home since I am 1 1/2 years into my German learning journey brought on in large part because of this channel.

Feli and Ben, I grew up speaking German in Canada, as my parents wanted that to be my first language. I was thoroughly amused at this video. To be honest, I can follow some of the words in German but after I started school, English became my favored language and I lost the ability to understand much of what I learned as a toddler in the German language. I can still pronounce words but to actually know what they mean - probably not. I found this video hilarious and fun to watch and had to share it with my dad, who will also find it funny. Ben, you're doing an amazing job learning the language, I'm so impressed at how well you've picked it up but you also have a fantastic teacher! Thanks for sharing! :goodvibes:

I’m always amazed how well Ben plays along, he’s such a good sport! He perfectly represents so many non native German speakers! Well done, Ben, you’re the most wundervoll companion to Feli‘s show! Isn’t it interesting one of the smallest items in Germany owns one of the longest words? Streichholzschächtelchen, matchbox. Overkill, ja?

My dad‘s favourite word for our American visitors was always “Maiskölbchen” as we used to make Fondue or Raclette for them 😅 I used the word “Bleistiftanspitzer” in a fun German class for kids - I tought each group a different syllable and made them all say it really quickly together 😊

Ben did really well :)) The Swiss German equivalent zu Streichholzschaechtlchen is just as difficult Chuchichaeschtlituerli :))

Hey Ben, i grew up to the north of you in Kokomo Indiana and yes one of my friends said "collar crown" for color crayon. I had to ask him to repeat it about five times until i figured out what he was saying. I think a lot of southerners relocated to our town because of the auto industry so we would have the mix of dialects.

It is often said that to learn about another culture and or language helps us learn about our own. This has happened here. When you were bringing up the 555 and how differently people in English pronounce it, it reminded me of just how often I try and keep an eye on my own pronunciation. As I finished typing that, I am also reminded of the most important thing about communications. As long as the other person understands what you are conveying, it matters not, how precise you communicate. lol

My Texan wife says crown for crayon. It kills me.

I’m from Louisville and Lexington Kentucky, but I’ve lived in Germany for over 50 years so it is funny to watch you two.
