  • I was born in Germany as well, and my parents did the same thing with speaking German, and so I'm fluent even though I've never gotten any formal teaching in it, and I only lived in Germany until I was two... But it's the same thing for me, I just have conversational German but I'm more comfortable with English because I actually learned it in school :)

  • i love your channel ... : ))

  • You look so so gorgeous in this video, not that u dont luk beautiful in ur other videos.

  • Having grown up in Alabama, lived in Germany (Army) and now live in Florida, I immediately hear your Canadian accent (lots of snowbirds here). My German wife and I speak German together and when I was watching your video of shopping, I noticed how you pronounced German words perfectly. When I speak German, anyone can hear my Southern accent. Prost Yall.

  • I really liked your Indian inspired eye make up. Your copper colors go so well together. False eyelashes really do make a big difference. I am going to have to start wearing them. I am now just seeing your swiss videos for the first time. Zurich is really beautiful and so well kept up for an old town. I hear it is one of the best places to live and raise a family. Low crime rates. How is the economy? I saw you going shopping in the store. Well, on your video I mean. I wish I was there

  •  it'd be really interesting to hear how you've built your life out there in switzerland!

  • Hi! I knew your were Canadian the moment I found your make up channel, but I was surprised your from Vancouver, I lived there a couple yrs ago. Anyway I really think you should do videos out where you can see beautiful landscapes os Switzerland. Please vote up so she can see.

  • I'm from Vancouver and my parents also immigrated from Bavaria and I do hear the German accent in your voice. But you speak English with all the slangs that Canadians would use just in certain vowels do I hear the German. I am the same way :)

  • I really love your food vlogs. I just came across your channel and subscribed!

  • Hey, thanks for the video! I found you by searching for 'grocery shopping in Switzerland' on Youtube. I'm from Ottawa but I'll be moving to Lausanne, Switzerland for 3-6 months. I was wondering if you had any advice I should be aware of (stuff I should bring with me due to high cost or scarcity in Switzerland, types of housing I should look for... etc.). Thanks so much!

  • Kannst du bitte schweizedeutsche videos machen :D bitte du bist der einzige guru der aus der schweiz ist wie ich :DD

  • I really would like to know how old you are and what your real job is! :p

    Oh and also I would love if you could make a video about the pros and cons of Canada and Switzerland because I am living in an European country and there could be a possibility of moving to Canada, sooo......

  • first- I am loving this third shift channel the videos have been very informative and fun to watch so thank you for creating it. second- you asked for suggestions: I would love to see a video where you compare living in Canada vs Switzerland like all the pros and cons of changing countries I think that would be a great video because I'd love to learn more on the subject from someone who's experiencing it all first hand. Love your channels, keep the awesome videos coming! :)

  • You remind me so much of myself- but ten times better :3

  • fellow canadian!!! I knew it :)

  • Omg u and i have like the same story, i am swiss too. I was born in Singapore. I lived in Switzerland for like 4 years then my mom wanted to move to mexico, so we did and i still live here (which i dont like) but anyways. I came here and learnt spanish likee right away! it was so easy for me, but sadly i completely lost german.But fortunately i can speak french and english. I love my country! And i miss everything about switzerland. So i hope one day i can go back and learn freakin german again!

  • i love your videos. youre really inspiring.

  • you are a beautiful girl. huhhh so gorgeous

  • im from holland,but my mom is from malaysia.i was raised with the dutch language n culture but at home, i speak mix dutch, malay with my mom n follow both cultures.

    now i live in abu dhabi,uae for 4.5 yrs. when i moved here, i didnt know english too,but i adapted english fast as well.n now, my english is better than my dutch and my malay. furthermore, i forgot a lot of my dutch. i can still speak, but i speak mix with english, just like in malay + english.

  • I thought you had a canadian accent!!!

  • i came to amerca wheni was 4 and i have to speak lithuanian at home so i dont lose it. i feel the same about english, i feel i speak it a bit better than my actual language. i was actually born in lithuania, and i learned english veryy quickly! i am glad too that i speak another language, it makes me feel kind of smarter lol, and i take german in my school, s hopefully get better atthat and i can be trilingual.. and my parents are trying to make me speak russian cuz they had to learn it be4:)

  • You look like Robin from How I Meet Your Mother :)

  • i felt the same way about learning english. i was 6 when my parents had my brother and i learn spanish and grew up speaking spanish. So i know how you feel about picking up english as a second language and being more confident speaking english than in spanish =]

  • ITA with the whole language thing. I was born in the US but my mother is French and my dad is Brasilian. So at home I had to speak all 3. I lived in the US for 15 years and then we moved to Brasil and then we moved to France. (which Is where I am now)

    Knowing more than one language is SO important. Im very thankful that my parents taught me their native languages. It definitely comes in handy!

  • you lucky, lucky girl!!! dual citizenships and what a combo. i'm canadian and i have a BNO (british nationals overseas) passport because i was born in hong kong when it was still a british colony, but my second passport is good for living in hong kong. unfortunately, my dream was to live in europe, so it's been useless to me. i've lived in france for a year and now i'm living in spain for half a year, but it's total hell trying to get a visa. >.<

  • Come to denmark!! :)

    It's not common to speak two languages in canada and us ?

  • lol now i LOVE germans because of you and because of RAMMSTEIN!!! <3 <3 <3

  • I love your videos! I'm planning a trip to Europe within two years and I'm getting all info I can. One thing I'd like to see you doing more would be cooking the swiss way.

    Thanks! You are very cute!

  • Omg r u Mischievious? I'm also in Switzerland! Let's have coffee sometime!

  • Hi Julia

    I'm just wondering (if it's not secret) how you built up your own life in Switzerland and whay your job is. Thank You for your videos!

  • You are really beautiful.

  • nice video

  • I think it's so great that your parents helped you keep up with the language. I have a friend who knows this couple with children; the father is Chinese and the mother is Greek (or something along those lines). Sadly, they didn't teach their children Chinese OR Greek, which is so wasteful and actually makes me mad. Why have your child miss out on that? People who live in America are so lazy! As an American myself, I see it firsthand.

  • Dann bist du ja eigentlich ein Bayer :D^^

  • Great videos, loved the drive through Italy. We hope to go there soon.

  • I really enjoy watching you, I find you sweet and adorable. LOVE your make-up channel too, but I just found this one. BTW, I thought you had a Canadian accent. =)

  • Hi I love all yur videos. I just have one question. What is your job occupation.?

  • hello may i ask u a question? or could u help me about bit of problem of application in my visa?

  • Deine Frisur ist klasse. Magst Du da auch mal ein Video von machen? Das wäre toll. Habe den Kanal erst jetzt gefunden und finde das super. You are great, I like your videos. Weiter so!!!!

  • You're so pretty!

  • Do you speak Swiss German too? or only German?

  • you're right about the kids and the parents forcing them to talk their language at home. im from the philippines and i came to america and my grandparents and people who are still in the country are like trying to make me speak our language cuz it's important.

  • oh dear, what happened to you fingernails? they are so yellow, you work for the Post ?

    and we don't speak German here, we speak "Schwitzerdütsch" :P

    But your eyes, they made me watch the whole video

  • i love your hair in this video

  • a home tour

    

  • I looooove your bed's canopy thing!

  • I was wondering if you have a relationship with your father? If this is too personal you don't have to answer. You are quite interesting. Thank you for reading this.

  • You def have a German accent :)

  • my story is really simular to yours.. but insteat canada..usa..

  • In my opinion, you have the most perfect eyebrows I have ever seen.

  • Our childhood is very similar...I was born in Italy and when I was 9 years old we moved in the USA, and now I speak two languages, italian and english =D

  • I love your shirt:)♥

  • ...and the white wine from "Epesse" , a masterpiece in Switzerland... don't forget! Lol

  • Guete Morge...!

    nice video....

    actually.... we as a family moved 1988 to Canada..... du hast also das Jahr verwechselt... :-) .... macht aber nichts....

  • Hi, i also am German and moved to Canada when i was very young and learned English as well as French very quickly, so i agree with you that kids learn very quickly, i .enjoyed your videos of Switzerland, would love to visit there some time.

  • Hello, in your video u say that u have an email. Just recently I discovered you videos so I don't know it. Is there anyway you can send it to me via inbox or some way? Thanks! Love your videos!

  • I love your videos! I plan on visiting Switzerland this october. I was hoping to ski there. Do you think it will be cold enough and where would you recommend.

  • You can tell the Canadian (being that I am a Canadian) but you do have a hint of another accent behind it. But that's awesome that your parents kept that up. I fully believe that any foreign family should at least keep their natural language up. It makes it interesting for friends to view it.

  • have you got your tongue pierced? :) if you do, thats awesome!

  • I have been watching your tutorials for a long time. I did not know you were born in Germany. I guess that explains your accent. I speak English and Spanish and I enrolled my daughter in a bilingual school so she can learn to speak Spanish as well. Love your tutorials keep them coming!!!!

  • Hi Julia, I had no idea that you have this other channel. I wanna ask when did your parents taught you other language when you were a kid ? I am asking bec. my baby boy is turning 2 yrs. old soon and our main language here is Japanese. I would like to teach him English too but I am not really sure, when is the right age for that. I always love your other channel & just subscribed here. See u on twitter too :)

  • I see now why you speak German so good, I thought you would speak Swiss German, but you story explains everything. Well, I hope my son will speak a lot of languages. I speak Russian and English, mu hubby speaks Portugeese and English, and we live in Switzerland...poor boy will have to learn at least 4 languages....

  • Cool I'm 11 and I live in Canada. My dad is Portuguese and my mom Canadian. I speak French and English but I'm looking foward to learn German and portuguese!!

  • LOL, you were moving from Canada to Switzerland, about the same time I was moving from my home of Florida to a little town near Vancouver.

  • Nice which erea did u leave in vancover i leaved i langley city

  • You sound very Canadian

  • I wish you spoke Deutsch! I speak also this language =D

  • it's so funny to me to hear that us canadians have an accent, but I guess because I haven't travelled very much I can't really tell the difference haha well I can tell the difference between east coast and west coast (me being from the west coast) but that's about it haha anyways, great videos

  • are u married? tell us about your personal life plz...thanks

  • I think the UK really lets down their lanugage students. We don't start learning a language till we're 12/13. :(

  • Really???? that's really late. I started learning English and French since I was 5.

  • So lucky! I'd love to be born or live in Germany. LOL !

  • Me too! And by looking at your username do you like Cinema Bizarre and Tokio hotel? :D

  • I like your personal intro talk!!!

  • lol I was born in Germany, moved to Canada at age three but speak English and French (no German since I was about 4 or 5)...when I talk fast I have a similar accent:)

  • I can hear some german in there...If you listen closly theres an accent on certain words.

  • awesome nailpolish!

  • Ahhh! This is so exciting! Ican totally tell you're from Vancouver because you say "Vangcouver" like we do :). Everyone else says Vancouver without the g sound in it. :) Hehehe.

    It's way cool knowing you're from where I'm from :D.

  • I was born in Germany :-)

    Ever heard of Landstuhl?

  • i wish america pushed kids to learn more than one language early on like they do in europe.

  • im from vancouver!!!! omg this is so cool!!! <3

  • @hannahlovesbenbarnes lol I'm from Canada 2

  • Hi i subscribed! wow you lives in Switzerland thats great, give us a tour of beautiful places in Switzerland :)

  • where in switzerland do you live exactly?

  • I love that yellow polish on your nails.

  • i am german and american

    its pretty cool being able to speak lots of languages isn't it

    :D

  • hehee, the canadian accent is pretty obvious to someone who grew up with it! i was born and raised in canada and ended up moving to the US in my 20s. My accent now is pretty generic, no real distinguishable sound to it, EXCEPT the O's. people always catch me when i say for example "sorry" etc.

  • Hi Julia! I was just wondering if you learned french as a second taught language in Canada or if you learned it in Switzlerland when you moved there later?

    and since you were born in Germany, do you still have that citizenship as well? Cause you say you're Swiss-Canadian, but also you were born in Germany...

    I'm happy about this new channel, we will get to know you more and more!

  • I can hear a little of your German accent. That's cool!

  • Funny enough we have similar life experiences. I'm Portuguese and we immigrated to Canada when i was little and i basically grew up there & therefore I also have the double nationality. A couple of years ago, I decided to move to France ( trilingual ). So I understand the parents point of view of speaking the native language but also how easy it is to learn new languages as a kid. Because of where i grew up, ppl don't understand what i'm doing here :) But thats just how life is !

  • what color is your hair dye??? is it from a box?

  • why did u go live in europe?

  • im bilingual as well i speak perfect english and spanish.

  • what do you dye your hair with its beautiful!!!

  • It's nice to hear about you, I can relate with the part about speaking native languages at home..

    I was born in England and grew up there but I moved to France when I was 10 and I still had to speak English at home to keep the language and when I moved back to England for a while I was made to speak French at home in order not to lose that either! I now live in France again and speak French all the time because I'm 20 now so I don't think I'll lose my English at this point!

  • Yes of course your canadian accent is really strong but sometimes I can also hear a bit of german accent. But I think it's really nice to be from different nationality and country. I dream to be bilingual that's why I admire any people who speaks different languages ! Bonne continuation pour tes tutorials de make up.

  • i'm also from germany =) from saarland =)

    i also grew up bilingual i can also speak italien

    i also learned english frensh and spanish at school =)

  • oooooooo! I love the idea of this channel!

  • i'm canadian too. born and raised. but i don't have an accent. maybe it's cuz i grew up on the island o_0

  • Nice to hear about you! :)

  • We went to Switzerland for our honeymoon. It was BEAUTIFUL!! The lakes and basically all of nature were magical!( Not to mention the chocolate and cheese, lol)! Definitely want to visit again!!

  • please came in italy!!! i wanna meet you!!! hehehe

  • My dad is a German Canadian, he can speak German pretty well. I hear my Oma and Opa spak German, but I am still trying to figure out the language.

  • Never wondered about your heritage. But I am in awe over your beauty.

  • That was nice here about you. Thanks for sharing! Hugs & Smiles...

  • you should show us around your apartment, i want to know if they are any different in europe than here (i live in the united states, and aparently people here talk with a canadian accent cause i dont hear crap... i guess im close to vancouver though...)

  • ha this is so cool: born in germany, growing up in vancouver (which by the way is an amazing city!) and now living in switzerland..compared to you, i'm so boring: born in germany, growing up in germany... xD

  • Yay! We all get to know a little more about you. :3

    Can you show us around a neighborhood there?

    Your bed is cool. <3

  • :o Multi-lingual I can't say I'm not jealous, but you do great work! So I can't help but luff ya! ;D

  • 3/3 Also as a fan, I would be very interested if there has been some other exciting stuff which came about from your radio interview and your feature in the national newspaper (omg saying it again gives me goosebumps lol) thanks :) x

  • 2/3 I would love to see that and get a better understanding of how your videos come about. For me it's so easy you see, I get a tweet and poum, it magically appears in my sub box :)
