I agree. I would have thought she was American until she pronounced "Rotbäckchen" im perfect accent free German.

If you ever visit the northern parts of Germany and need a tour guide für Münster in Westphalia or the surroundings, let me know 🙂

Willa is sooooo cute. I've rarely if ever seen a kid with such an infectious smile and happy demeanor. Help in pronunciation of the Umlaut ö. Try the English word 'heard' (to hear, past tense). Drop the h-, and the -rd. Extend the vowel sounds, keep them coming. Feel them in the back of your upper throat and mouth. Now try to move that sound from your glottal, upper throat area to the front of your mouth, and then finally to very puckered lips. Similar to an exaggerated kiss mouth, but very slightly opened. Try practicing with really really exaggerated mouth positions. Once you got the sound right, you can relax your mouth a bit. Icecream in Germany is basically Italian gelato, firmly in the hands of (ex-)immigrants who have now become firmly integrated. And we Germans definitely LOVE and appreciate it! These gelateria are everywhere in Germany. So, sooo good.

Your daughter already eating a Döner/Pommes Box like a pro, haha. ;)

So going into the water with bare feet is also called doing a Kneipp cure. Sebastian Anton Kneipp was a Bavarian Roman Catholic priest who became known as a hydrotherapist and naturopath who practiced cold water therapy. He is the namesake of the Kneipp medicine and the water cure with treading water, etc., which were used earlier but only became popular through him. Kneipp's teaching has been applied almost everywhere in Germany for almost 200 years.

Close to these kind of water basins you'll find a device to put your underarms in cold water. Other treatments based on Kneipp's theories are practised in Spas and is a kind of (cold) water douche with a hose that reminds of movies with "torture" scenes in prisons... ;-))

Hey guys, another beautiful Film like all the others. I liked the part where Willa created her own Dönerbox with the spoon and the sauce. This was doubtless a wonderful tour. See you in Berlin.

cool music, great view, nice vlog!

Howdy Folks, It was so awesome to see some of my old stomping grounds. I had visited Amberg/Vilsek last Sept 2019 and I am so looking forward to visiting again. It looks like that you had an excellent tour guide. The food looked very yummy and you had my mouth watering lol. I can't wait to see you and the family try some Spaghetti Eis :). Thanks for sharing :).

Thanks for this nice video and big thumbs up to Katie👍

Another great video. I think in 1, 2 or 3 weeks everything will be open and you can go to restaurants, museums, churches etc...

When you visit Maria Hilfberg again, you should try the Windbeutel in the restaurant next to it. They taste amazing

Ohhh the hazlenut bites are awesome! I kinda miss them...they have this tasty jam in between i love it! Seeing your videos shows how many things we're not having here in the US...i start to miss a few things haha! Greetings from Virginia, Rick and Tamara

When you decite to visit the western region of Germany - don´t miss visiting the valley of the river Mosel and the Germanies oldest City of Trier. A Cute town full of over 2000 years of history - If you want I can serve as your Tour guilde

Loving Kathis english! Amazing and the easy switch between German and English pronaunciation. Und fast keine deutsche Intonation im englischen, Respekt!

So cool to see German cities throug your eyes. I’m so used to the German architecture, most of the time I don‘t even realise what beautiful cities we got 😄 Greetings from Eichstätt :)

Lovely video, very interesting, nice way to explore that cute little town. 👍😎 Kneipp Kur and Rotbäckchen Saft more healthy is not possible on Germany.

Katie Rocks :)

Germany always looks so green with nature, especially in the spring. And there are always these little pathways away from the traffic where you can walk. Ideal if you have children. I haven't been back since December 2019 because of the pandemic. I'm not sure whether it's going to be possible even in 2021. Such a shame, because where my relatives live on the outskirts of Hamburg it's a small village, quiet, and beautiful at this time of the year.

Looks like a wonderful day! I hope you will be able to taste more German "slowfoods" soon. Of course the fastfood-choices you made, seem to have tasted great. But due to the pandemic you are still missing out many typical local meals like Sauerbraten, Schäufele etc.. I wish you many more interesteing experiences!

A recommendation on warm days is the bathing lake in Dießfurt. It is around you 🌊☀️

Guys, come to Baden-Baden and I'll be there waiting for you! 🙂

The overall 'mood' in the vid was great. Like a lil energizer. 👍 (the car szene right at the beginning - hilarious)

Another beautiful video, thank you so much for sharing your day with Katie ! I'm sure you learned a lot about the city with a nice local guide like her - and her English is amazing ! Your language skills are developing quickly, too ! Have you become comfortable in your new home yet or are there still boxes to unpack ?

Have you seen the Eh’häusl (smallest hotel of the world) and St. Georg (Church)? That are the two points I normally show my visitors. Greetings and much fun in the area.

Amberg! My home away from home! I lived there for 5 years in the 80's. I recognize many of the buildings, but the not the businesses from back then.

I loved how excited Willa got just playing with a bottle of water in the beginning. The water feature to cool down seems to be regional, never heard of it. I prefer my Döner the traditional style, without all the extra vegetables that i have never seen in a Döner (for example bell pepper, potato, etc.).

@user-sm3xq5ob5d

That water feature is for therapeutical purposes. Alas you don't need a prescription for it. The idea, as described earlier in another comment, is to introduce cold water to a body part. So the circulation is stimulated and health improved. Under therapeutic regimen one would immerse an arm or leg at a time into cold water. Or get hosed down by a soft cold water jet. It is related to kinesio tape en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_therapeutic_tape which stimulates circulation in a tinier area.

As a kid I got Rotbäckchen Saft when I had a cold. My mum would heat it up. So that is what I am doing now as an adult 😁 Imo it tastes better hot.

Way to go, meet up with your community.... told you most Germans don't bite 🙃😉 enjoy guys

Hi. The "mini you" is funny. Chicken balls: in. Döner meat: in.🙂 You can do "Kneipp Anwendungen / treatments" at home in the shower or bathtube. Not only on hot summer days. Rotbäckchen and Wodka or "Sekt" - should match. 🍷

Reminds me of the way I used to explain foreigners how to say my name . Say Sue, say Ann, repeat, repeat. Repeat faster. Problem is: you'll likely get stuck with the english/american accent. It will always sound a little bit off. And to get rid of it, is harder than learning it the "correct" way in the first place. I'm sure burger or surf sounds like an Ö. Börger=burger, Sörf=surf. I think there is no english word, that gets you close to an Ü. To learn it without an accent, try this: Ü is when your tounge says (german) "i", but your lips say "u" Say "i" and while doing so, start to shape your lips the way you would to say "u". The sound will transform to a perfect Ü. Same should work with "ö": tounge says "e", lips say "o"

Like physics :-)

so wie es aussieht, habt Ihr euch schon ganz gut eingelebt und fühlt euch wohl. Ich hoffe ihr könnt es bis jetzt verschmerzen, nicht in der Heimat zu sein.

Pronunciation of umlauts takes the longest for anglophones to learn. You actually need to teach your brain to make a distinction between the regular vowels and umlauts. You're still at the stage where your brain sorts it with the sounds you know.
