In order to be able to pronounce “yeast wheat” like a real American, you first need a few yeast wheat.

On average, the younger ones have a little fewer friends than five years ago, results in a current YouGov survey. But were all friends really counted? What about the digital contacts and, last but not least, nice influencers of your own generation? Do you only count them when you were at home or congratulate you on your birthday? One of these good friends on the net is Felicia Hofer aka “Feli From Germany”, a young Munich woman who has lived in the USA most of the time since 2016 and has collected almost 700,000 subscribers on YouTube with 500 videos. It’s good if you get first -hand information from friends, but also good if the new friends in the United States have someone to ask them embarrassingly uninformed questions about Germany. Why did she originally open her YouTube channel? Was it just too many false information that she met on site?
The best thing about girlfriend Feli seems to be that she obviously cannot upset anything. No matter what we have to listen to for weird, false stuff to refute and move it along, her smile is unshakable, her evidence is incorruptible. Competence and friendliness against partially disgusting fake news, that should work? You can also trust her on this point, she may know the Americans better than we do.
No matter what she has to put false stuff, her smile is unshakable, her evidence is incorruptible.
She reacts to a video “Top 10 Reasons Not To Live in Germany” (“Ten reasons not to live in Germany”) that another YouTuber has made. Its ignorance and his right spirit (refugees break everything in Germany and murder a lot) are so underground wrong, flat and with fantasy numbers that the hat cord could burst quickly. When the YouTuber closes the video with the desire “Be nice to Each other”, she only repeats the sentence once again with a slightly questionable emphasis in order to refute it elegantly mockingly. First pour the manure over the other and then wish that you should be nice to each other – in such moments, Feli’s eye rolls are all of our eyes roll.
Feli also tirelessly explains current political issues, such as the double ballot of Friedrich Merz or the German travel warnings before the USA. As a friend, she is basically an ambassador or at least mediator. She knows both and can convey. But friends are not by the way, you also have to spend time with them. At Feli there are short video snippets to wipe around (for us cell phone -fixed short video viewers). In order to really get to know them, the videos are not under half an hour, often more than a whole. This is quite comforting in the sea of short -winded haters and false friends.
You quickly take a little bit of your fate. Apparently early by the USA, fascinated by an exchange program as a student, but perhaps also motivated by the many German emigrants to Ohio and their migration stories, starts studying over there, also moves in relationships, shifting her center of life. A few months ago she was naturalized, in these times she feels safer with a valid passport of being an American.
It is not well ordered around the German-American friendship at the moment, the least is probably due to Feli. Originally, she wanted to explain Americans to Germany, then a viral video also brought her a viral video who wonder about the United States. Now she has won both groups as an audience. As a hiker between the cultural worlds, she can pick us up and explain things to us personally, which is not without responsibility, but she accepts it in an indestructible friendliness. It always looks trustworthy and incorruptible, not the worst attributes to reach the first million subscribers.
