Good Morning everyone! Today I thought I would film a vlog in German
So I just woke up
and made my green juice
At the moment I like to always make juice in the mornings
and this one is with apple, celery, cucumber and Ginger
it's really very good
if you ever have the chance to buy a juicer, I can really recommend it
because I think its a lot of fun and the juices always taste amazing
and now I am going to do my make-up
and the we have to go the office
and yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this vlog
I am now almost ready to go. I just have to pack my sport clothes with me
and I am also packing a little something for lunch for the office
today I cooked some buckwheat
and at the office we always have a little salad or so
so that we always have something healthy but also filling for lunch
and I also still need to pack a little breakfast
and today I think I will just have a couple of bananas and a couple of oranges
alright, I am done
Today it is raining, and its around 16 degrees celsius
so a little colder than the nice warm summer weather we have had lately
but as of next weekend, or actually as of this weekend it should be really nice again
But I also like it when its a bit cooler
it's also very nice, I don't like it when it's too hot either
and of course it's nicer to work when its raining a bit
so if you don't know
or if you haven't watched any of my other videos
except for these "how I learned German" or "how I like Germany" videos,
then, I am an entrepreneur
me and my boyfriend we have a company called Kia-Charlotta
and yeah, thats where I pretty much have to go now everyday, sometimes weekends too
and to work and I like it a lot, I love what I do
we are doing quite well, we are still a start-up
and I share our start-up journey in my other videos, of course in English
I do prefer speaking English
and later I am going to talk a little bit about
what fluent means to me
and in general about this video where I talk about how I learned German in two months
because I think there are some differing opinions
I totally understand why some would find that too unbelievable
and maybe I didn't express myself correctly
yeah, I am ging to talk about that a little
but yeah, now I have to go and I, see you soon!
I am having a little..well not break..I never actually take a coffee break or anything
I always drink it while working
I am currently working on a presentation which we send to some potential customers
and I am always so to say in charge of the creative side
I always put the presentations together so that they look somewhat nice
of course we also have a design partner
they do our logos and other marketing material
I only do some pre work and then I forward it to them
I think its a lot of fun
I case you don't know
I case it your first time on my channel
I wanted just let you guys also know what we do
so Kia-Charlotta, I already told you, is the name of the company
and we create vegan cosmetics
so 100% vegan cosmetics which also natural
currently we are only creating nail polish
and nail polish can unfortunately never be 100% natural
it is however "14 free"
which means that it does not include 14 most toxic ingredients still used in nail polish today
okay that was a mouthful for me
so I am on my way to the supermarket
because I am so hungry or we are so hungry, me and Alex
I did take something with me, Buckwheat, which I already told you
But we also need something for tonight
because we are going to the gym and afterwards the stores will be already closed
thats why I have to buy something now
and I also feel like bread or something that would be very filling
Guys its raining! It's so difficult to vlog when its raining
We are about to have lunch and I wanted t show you guys what we are having
if you didn't know, I am vegan, have been for four years already
and thats why everything is without meat, eggs or milk
heres the Buckwheat which I made
some bread
then we have avocado with a little salad
and I also bought some vegan cheese
and this one is really the best vegan "cheese" out there
I don't really like any other vegan "cheese's", but this one tastes really good
and then a little hummus which we can put on our bread
Ok everyone. It is now almost half past 5
and I already look a little tired
I think in around two hours we will head to the gym
so I still have some work to do
and I wanted to shortly explain why I wanted to make this vlog in German
Firstly I think it's a good challenge
because I quite a shy person
It does scare me a little bit to make a video in German
I always think that in a video my German should also be 100% perfect
second, I made a video already six month ago
where I share how I learned fluent German in 6 months
and I completely understand that there a few people who cannot believe that
there are also a couple of people who find it terrible of me to even say that
and I guess I can understand that too
I know I don't have to explain my self to anybody
and only I can know what happened (to me) 5 years ago
and of course I am much better now compared to 5 years ago
and back then, I would say, that I spoke German quite fluently
even though my vocabulary was still relatively small
and never studied it in school nor did I ever take a course
except for this one A1 course
I really learned it just by speaking
which is why my grammar is not perfect
which I actually already told everyone in that video
In my opinion my German is fluent
maybe fluent means something different to everybody
but it is 100% not perfect
for me fluent doesn't mean that it needs to be perfect
and, there were also a couple of people who just couldn't believe that I can speak perfect German
and I actually never said that I could
I can't speak perfect German
I I think it's a shame that someone would say this to someone who wants to learn fluent German
I think thats the number one thing that most people are scared of when it comes to speaking German
because they are scared if they are perfect enough or not
they are scared to order something from the bakery or ask something from a stranger
they get too worried if they can say it perfectly enough
and, in my opinion, you can only learn with practise
and I am so happy that other than maybe videos, I was never really scared to speak my German (even if it was a bit shitty)
so yeah, thats what I think
of course, I am sure many of you were right - maybe my German is not fluent if it means it has to be perfect
but I did learn pretty good German within two months
so that I also got a job
I did actually lose it swell because I was probably to shy with my German
and my vocabulary for the area I was working in was also not good enough
and I can admit that
but I could otherwise talk with people, have good conversations
talk with my boyfriends parents (who have a strong dialect btw)
I just came by with my German rather well
it didn't really stop me from doing anything
so yeah, I just wanted to explain that shortly
I think everyone should rather just talk and try to have a good life in Germany
and not think too much about having your German be absolutely perfect
and not think if it is actually fluent or not
I think it is fine and if you don't, well thats not so bad is it? ;)
now I have to continue with work
I just edited a "normal English" video for my channel
I should also try to get that uploaded today
and then I shall continue with that presentation
and then my work day will be done with and we will go to the Gym
which I am looking forward to
and yeah, I will see you guys later then
we now got out of the office and are heading to the Gym
we try to go to the Gym three times a week
we always go with Alex and his brother
and they always lift some weights
and I just do some body weight exercises
and then some cardio as well
see, thats how I speak German (LOL)
so we are now back home
we just ate something small, I only ate an apple actually
because it actually quite late already, almost 10 pm
we are slowly going to go to bed
and I wanted to end the vlog here for you guys
I hope you guys enjoyed it
If you are watching this and learning German, I hope that
you try and work hard. So try to speak as good and much as you can
I know a lot of people are scared to speak a new language in the beginning
and thats how I pretty much learned it
I of course also hope that no one watches this only for learning German because my German is not perfect
I encourage you to take courses and learn the grammar properly
I know for sure that my German was not 100% perfect in this vlog
I still get around pretty well here in Germany
and hopefully someday I will take more time to learn the grammar a little bit better
because of course it would help me a lot if I would improve my German
I would just hope people would be so scared to "just speak"
In the beginning it was of course difficult and scary to speak with strangers
because I wasn't sure at all if it was correct what I was saying
I was scared if it would sound right or if someone would even understand me
but a lot of people did actually understand me and when not it wasn't too bad
you are allowed to repeat and try again
If you want to see more vlogs in German or maybe even bilingual vlogs
