Doug Madenford aka @PADutch101 grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch which is a German dialect that’s spoken by over 300k people here in the US and Canada! And I got to ask him all the questions that I’ve always wondered about: Like how often does he speak PA Dutch in his everyday life? Can he communicate with the Amish community? How does the language integrate new words for modern inventions? And why are more and more people from Germany building relationships with the PA Dutch?

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 29, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)
