  • Which time zone is generally used in America to describe a time nationwide and how do people keep track of it?

  • Thanks for the insight, that explains a lot🙏

  • Is it true that many Americans have German ancestry? And is that something that affects Americans, like do they talk about it etc.?

  • Very interesting!

  • Lol I'm like the exact opposite, if someone isn't smiling at me I'm thinking "Did I do something wrong?" but of course I know that not everyone is smiling at you unfortunately

  • Yea it definitely doesn't sound as bad as many other Germans but I don't have the American sound down to the nuances so you could definitely tell. Idk why but I think it's quite hard to get the nuance if you haven't been raised with the language, it sucks if you don't sound 100% authentic, I hope it will come with time.

    But you really have to study each tone down to its core including its cultural context to get it perfectly. Imma try to do that though for sure

  • The good thing is I somehow just can't gain weight but I also don't eat too much junk food and somewhat keep the balance.

    It often frustrates me that we only have McDonald's, Burger King, Subway and KFC here. I always wanted to try stuff like Taco Bell, Wendys, Jack in the Box and In n out Burger.

    I prolly spent my whole childhood at McDonald's (we ate there at least 4 times a week) and I always wished we had other chains. But that was the closest I could get to an American environment as a kid.

  • I think I watched too much American TV it's kinda hard for me to do the German accent now and it feels weird to do tbh

  • What do you mean by accent? I can only do an American accent (maybe a little British if I try hard)

  • I'm from Germany specifically.

  • True. I just don't get why so many Americans can be so confident. I hope I can keep up with that. Cause my parents ruined my confidence with all the trauma they introduced to me. But maybe it would help just going out of the country of my parents
