💛 Bleibt dran und bleibt fleißig! 💛 Deine Deutschlehrerin Natalia
Hello my dears and greetings from the airport.
I'm traveling alone today.
This is a little solo trip.
So my husband is coming along tomorrow as well.
But today I'm traveling alone.
And today I'm flying to Poland.
Poland.
To Poland.
To Krakow.
And from there I'm going to the border to Ukraine.
To the Ukrainian border.
I'm meeting my family there.
And we're celebrating my mom's 60th birthday.
My mom's turning 60 in two days.
I turned 30 a month ago.
And she's turning 60 now.
Crazy.
But I'm really looking forward to the trip.
My whole family is going to be there.
And that's really super nice.
And I'm taking you with me.
We've landed.
Welcome to Poland.
I'm going to pick up my suitcase now.
And then it's on to me.
Yes.
Very good.
The cute dog.
Very good.
Good morning.
And greetings from Poland.
I'm in Rzeszów right now.
It's a small town on the way to Ukraine.
And I met my cousin here.
I spent the night with her yesterday.
She has such a cute dog.
I'm going to show you something later.
And now I'm waiting for my dad.
He's picking me up.
And then it's on to us.
We're going to the mountains.
We've arrived.
It's super nice here.
This is our little house.
We're just checking in.
I'm still alone.
My husband is on the way.
And my brother is also on the way.
That means I can choose the best room for me.
So this is how you get in here.
I chose this room for us.
Looks pretty nice.
But the best thing is this beautiful balcony.
We'll stay here for two days now.
I'm looking forward to the little vacation.
And of course to my mom's birthday.
And now I'm going to unpack first.
My husband is almost here.
He landed this morning.
He rented a car.
There he is.
We've prepared bread and salt.
Come on, get out now.
Can I park the car now?
No, come here.
You have to tear off a piece of bread.
Dip it in salt and then eat it.
That's how you do it.
I'll get in touch with you again.
It's still very nice and warm.
We're watching football.
If you watch this video,
the final is probably already over.
But today is the quarterfinals.
It's so exciting.
Germany is playing against Spain.
The game is really exhausting.
Spain has a really good team.
Germany has a very good team.
And they're fighting.
I'm almost done with this game.
Being done means being very tired and exhausted.
I'm mentally, not physically,
but mentally done.
I really hope the Germans win this game.
We'll show you the results here.
Then you'll know how the game turned out.
We didn't do much today.
We just enjoyed the time together.
Tomorrow is the party.
Tomorrow is my mom's birthday.
Then we'll party a little.
I think we'll go to the river tomorrow.
That's a plus.
Then we'll go swimming.
Relax.
I have to tell you,
it's always hard for me to relax.
I always have to work.
Even now.
It's half past seven.
And I'm working.
I'm filming the vlog for you.
I hope I'll learn in the future
to relax a little more.
To work a little less.
For this reason,
I'll finish for today.
See you tomorrow.
Then you'll know
how Germany played.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Even though you can't do anything in the future.
The day is almost over.
We went kayaking this afternoon.
It was so great.
I've never been on a kayak before.
I was a little scared of it.
But it was a lot of fun.
We'll continue to celebrate
the birthday soon.
Maybe I'll ask a few questions
from you to Tobias.
I asked on Instagram
what questions you have for us.
I'll try to ask these questions
to my husband.
He's playing with the dog right now.
Greetings to you all from Poland.
We're playing volleyball right now.
Family time is the best time.
Our little vacation is almost over.
But I promised you
that I'll ask Tobias the questions
on Instagram.
Let's go for a little walk.
He'll answer your questions.
Let's see.
You can greet the people.
The first question is
When will we get
a little wolf?
Then we'll get a dog.
Then we'll travel less
and stay at home more.
That probably won't happen.
By the way,
the word the wolf
means a little baby dog.
The wolf belongs to the N-declination.
That means,
when you decline this noun,
you always have to add an extra N
at the end of the word.
For example,
I'm going for a walk
with the little wolf.
Always pay attention to this.
To the N-declination,
all masculine nouns
that end in E belong.
The wolf, the boy,
the colleague and so on.
Okay, next question.
I'm being interviewed.
Next question.
What is the best city in Germany
to live and work in?
To live in?
Of course Hamburg.
Hamburg.
Yes, exactly.
Explain your dialect for us.
What my dialect explains?
I'm from Hamburg.
That's why I have the dialect.
What's so special about the Hamburg dialect?
It's very soft.
But when it comes to working,
it depends on what you do.
When you're in banking,
it's Frankfurt.
When you're in P.I.,
it's Munich.
When it comes to shipbuilding,
it's Hamburg again.
Or maybe Bremen.
When it comes to industry,
it's probably Ruhrpott.
Everything in the west of Germany.
To sum it up,
you could say
it's an industry.
Exactly.
Depending on where you work.
Chip is in the east of Germany.
Computer chips.
The next question
is a very common question.
We've talked about it a lot
in our videos.
But maybe you can give us
a little example.
What were the biggest cultural shocks
at the beginning of our relationship?
Travelling by train in Ukraine.
That was a big cultural shock.
I would say that in Germany
you play by the rules
more often than in Ukraine.
Yes, sometimes.
Especially because we were in a night train.
That was something special
culturally.
Because you never sleep in trains in Germany.
That's true.
Nevertheless, there are night trains in Germany.
To Austria, for example.
And the other thing you said?
Ah, by the rules.
Yes, that's right.
In Ukraine, the rules are often
changed.
No, no.
They are interpreted flexibly.
That's true.
One last question.
It's a
challenging question.
What is the most important thing
in a beautiful relationship?
It's nothing challenging.
It's communication.
You always have to talk to each other.
And
talk about
where you want to
focus on in the relationship.
How you want to live together.
And then, no matter
what kind of stress you have,
you can manage it as long as you
communicate with each other and
both sides are interested in the relationship.
We found a t-shirt of my uncle.
Because
we went kayaking yesterday.
My cousin's dog got cold
because he jumped into the water.
Then my uncle
took off his t-shirt
and gave it to the dog.
That was so cute.
Now we found the t-shirt on the ground.
Okay,
Hanni, you're flying back now.
See you next time.
Are you looking forward to Germany?
Yes, I am.
Routine.
But you'd like to go back.
It's very nice and calm here.
Very sunny in Frankfurt.
The weather is not so nice at the moment.
But
otherwise...
And you'd like to go to Ukraine with me.
Of course.
No matter where.
I'd like to go there with you.
But
that's the way it is.
That's the way it is.
We're going to have a coffee now.
Then we'll continue.
We're going to Ukraine today.
My brother is going home
to Ireland.
And Tobias is going
to Germany.
Bye.
Have a safe trip home.
Shall I close the door for you?
