About the "you're not Italian" part:
Europeans are generally super happy and welcoming if you tell them you have some distant familial connections from their country. They'll be thrilled to talk to you about their country, language and history and we welcome you if you come to us with a sincere interest. What people don't like is when Americans just blatantly claim to be something they are not, and then go on to speak on behalf of, or in the name of a community they are not actually a part of. It also doesn't help that the things those people say "as someone who's Irish" or "as an Italian" usually range from the utterly ridiculous to the downright offensive.

We have a divided town on the border between Poland and Czechia too, it's called Cieszyn. During Covid, there were posters on both sides, saying: "I miss you, Pole" and "I miss you, Czech" in both languages :)

This guy is so nice and respectfull about learning Europe . Good job dude
wholesome vibe

In Kazakhstan, it is customary to refer to Europe as a "part of the world" rather than as a continent, because Eurasia is the continent, while Asia is a part of the world, as is Europe.

Poland has their own currency (zloty), but the bills in the picture were czech crowns :D

[stefanwerner]

We’re Dutch or Polish or French or Italian or whatever because we have our national identities, and traditions, and of course languages. And at the same time we’re all European because we’re sharing so much common culture and values. Way more than most of us are aware of, and certainly more than some ignorant nationalists want to tell us. Different but still familiar. It won’t be exactly the same all over the place (and there’s no need for that) but very often it is pretty similar. Having travelled all over Europe, I found stunning landscapes, rich heritage, interesting food and, most important thing, friendy people everywhere. I really like my home continent.

[IulianMihaiu]

Funny enough, Romania is NOT slavic, is Latin :))) it has more similitudes with Italy, Spain and France. We understand and learn very easily these languages.

[constantine]

Regarding the languages - I'm from Slovakia, so I obviously speak Slovak. I come from a mixed Slovak/Hungarian family and I live near the Hungarian border so I speak fluent Hungarian too. Slovakia used to be part of Czechoslovakia and the Czech and Slovak languages are quite similar, therefore I also speak Czech (a lot of Slovakians do). I learned some English in school and got more proficient in it because I used it a lot at work. So, yes it is quite common for Europeans to speak more languages.

9:20 I'm not even from the Baltics but from Germany, but I'd still get mad if you called the Baltics, our EU brethren, "basically Russia"...

[klarasee]

7:32 German is spoken in Germany, Austria, German-speaking Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, eastern Belgium, South Tyrol (part of Italy), Alsace (part of France), northeastern Lorraine (part of France) and northern Schleswig (part of Denmark).

Fun video. Learned some things about my own continent I didn't even know.
One little correction: Europe (continent, not EU) is bigger than the USA.
US: 9.834.000 km²
Europe: 10.530.000 km². And that's European part of Russia and Greenland not included.

[backYouTo]

I would love to see your channel evolves into you travelling to different countries in Europe and reacting to the things you see!

[simonekeijzer]

As for American tourist, too many have the habit of shouting across the shop or restaurant as if the are in their back yard. Basically their whole demeanor is like they are in their back yard. Too much at home, getting too close and wanting to interact with everybody. But this is the type that screams "OMG" all the time when they are at home. It is not all Americans. It´s the type that feels Europe is like a kind of Disneyland. I do find there is often a certain intitlement attached to those as wel. Like they pay for it so they should be served upon like royalty. It doesn´t work that way here.

[AHVENAN]

When she said that southern Europe is where people go for vaccation, that reminded me of a kind of iteresting trend we here in the Nordics have started seeing lately due to the changing climate.

A lot of people from the southern parts of Europe have started coming up here for their summer vaccation because the summers are just too damn hot down there, up here, our summers are still warm, but usually, at least to people from the south, more pleasantly warm, not uncomfortably so

[stenhard..]

As an American, YES we are louder in general! It takes a while to adjust but we need to do it. When you have changed your volume level you will be surprised how obnoxious it is to have to listen to someone else's life from ten tables away.

[mosifeli]

Dude, your videos are great! As a son of turkish immigrants, born and raised in Germany, I would like to add:
There is a very unique history of migration in Europe after the destruction caused by the WWs. Workers invited to rebuilt e.g. Germany as a consequence settled here. So many different ethnic communities formed unique new identities in their countries. Many of us do not consider ourselves Germans nor Turks per se, because neither of those labels really fit. This phenomenon created many unique food variations, music and other cultural synergies all over Europe. If not the root cause of this, the effects can be compared to Mexican Americans in the US.
It is also the root of many socio-political issues here. Don't mean to get too deep, but I thought, this might be interesting to you. Cheers, keep it up!

[liftordietrying]

Man, I only been to the USA twice, but when you said that it would be cool if Americans would learn 3 languages before the graduate highschool, I can't help but banter a little bit and say I would be fine if they learned 1 language before they graduate highschool. Some younger people in the USA I had the (dis)pleasure of interacting with were speaking something vaguely resembling English, but I couldn't figure out what they want from me. Probably not even their fault, it does seem like your school system is just falling apart.

[BmxManKolin]

The currency of Poland in the picture is incorrect. That's Czech crowns from the Czech Republic. Poland also has their own currency called "złoty"

WHen the "Miniatur Wunderland" in Hamburg, Germany (the world's biggest model railway) opened their "Scandinavia"-Section they invited a bunch of politicians, including the ambassador from FINLAND. Apparently at some point during the event the guy pulled one of the Braun-Brothers (who own/run the wunderland) aside and went "I'm thankful for the invite, I love the place you built here, but..why am I at a Scandinavian event?"
