Welcome back to another #AskDanaFragen video.
With the same hashtag two videos in a row?! Looks that way!
Hey everyone, Dana here. And yes, we're using the same hashtag again for this video.
I really, it kind of grew on me.
You know, I really like the combination of the English and the German.
For those who don't know, "Fragen" means questions...it also means "to ask" in German.
But here I mean it with questions.
So it's "Ask Dana Questions." With questions being Fragen.
Although technically it does also ask...I mean it does also mean "Ask Dana Ask."
Which is also kind of cool. Ask Dana Ask. Okay, anyway. We're using that hashtag this time.
I might change it again in the future.
Katha A-b asks: Can you stand watching dubbed movies, like, Hollywood movies with German dialogs?
I imagine it must be weird for someone who a) has English as their mother tongue and
b) grew up in a 'non-dubbing country'.
(It's even weird for me now, after several years of watching American TV shows in their
original language.)﻿
Okay, I would say that I do prefer the original version.
Just watching the TV shows and the movies in English.
But if the dubbing is done well, then I don't find it so bad to watch that either.
So I prefer the English version, but actually when I was first learning German I watched
a lot of American movies and TV shows dubbed into German to help me with my German.
And, like I said, if the dubbing was done well, then...yeah, I was okay watching it.
Except for comedies. That was the tricky part.
If something was supposed to be funny, and it was dubbed into German,
that was a little bit hard for me to watch. Then I really wanted to watch the original English one.
Because sometimes they had to change some jokes to have it make any sense in German.
Adam William asks: Have you ever visited Passau?
I studied abroad there and think it's one of the more beautiful cities in Germany.
It's an easy two and a half to three hour train ride from the Munich train station.﻿
I have not been to Passau yet.
But it is on my list of places that I would like to visit in Germany.
I have heard some lovely things about Passau.
So I would like to go there, but I haven't gone yet.
Which question would you like to answer most?
This is such a good question. Wow. And I feel awful.
Because I just do not have a good answer back for this question.
This is such a great question. And I just don't have a good answer for it.
Do you watch the Eurovision Song Contest?
Is it a big deal in Germany?﻿
So I have watched the Eurovision Song Contest a few years. And I really have enjoyed it.
Um, is it a big deal in Germany?
Well, I've only seen the Eurovision Song Contest here in Germany.
Back when I lived in the U.S., I had never even heard of the Eurovision Song Contest,
so from my point of view, the Eurovision Song Contest seems like a big deal in Germany,
because what I have to compare it to is never having heard about it in the U.S.
But I don't know if the Eurovision Song Contest is a big deal in Germany compared with how
the Eurovision Song Contest is taken in other countries in Europe.
If that makes any sense.
But to me it seems like it's a big deal because, like, a lot of people come and watch it and
talk about it. So it seems like a big deal to me.
Elizabeth Harter asks: So my question for you is did you go to amusement parks in America,
after all you lived near some of the biggest in the country, and have you gone to any in
Germany or Europe?
Yes, I did go to amusement parks in the U.S. I have been to Epcot, I have been to Universal's Islands of Adventure.
Actually I also went there with Stefan. I've been to Six Flags.
And I know I've been to some other ones, but those are the three that I'm remembering right now.
In Germany...um...I went to Movie Park last fall. Does that count? So I went to Movie Park.
And I also went to Legoland a few years ago.
But I think I might need to go to some more amusement parks.
Um, please let me know down in the comments what amusement parks have you really enjoyed
in Germany or in Europe? Thank you.
Mike Konrardy asks: any new T-shirt designs coming in the near future?﻿ What a great question.
And no, I did not put Mike up to asking that. But great question.
Yes. We do have a new T-shirt design.
I have started to see some of that Spargel around in Munich.
So it is Spargelzeit.
And we have a new Spargelzeit T-shirt design this year. I'm very excited.
And here it is. I guess. Or over here. I'm not sure where it will be.
In addition to the white asparagus, I also drew a bundle of green asparagus.
You know, tied together with a little yellow twine there.
So that's the new Spargelzeit T-shirt design.
Graham Turner asks: Are there any places you’ve been to in Europe
that you would like to go to again?﻿
I have been to Prague several times. Actually I lived for about a year in Prague,
and I would definitely love to go to Prague again. And I have been to Prague again.
But places that I've only been to once that I would like to go to again.
One of those would be Rome.
Stefan and I went to Rome a few years ago and we have definitely talked about going back.
Another place that we've talked about going back is Norway.
Just the country in general. We really enjoyed seeing the fjords.
And we would like to go further up in Norway.
Um, our last trip we got as far north as Trondheim, but we would like to go a little bit further.
We'd really like to see the aurora borealis, see the lights.
So, that's something that we've talked about as well.
Amy Rhodes asked: Have you climbed the Münster in Ulm yet?﻿
I have not. I have been to Ulm. Stefan and I went there. But I did not climb anything while I was there.
Madison Irene asks: What advice do you have for anyone going to Germany
(especially Frankfurt area) in the summer from America?
A couple years ago Stefan and I actually went to Aschaffenburg, which is not too far from Frankfurt.
We really enjoyed our time in Aschaffenburg.
There were cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses. And, yeah, we just really enjoyed our time there.
I've actually never been to Frankfurt yet, so, um, if anybody has any suggestions for
what to do in the Frankfurt area, please let me know down in the comments.
And, yeah, that would be great.
And that's it for this #AskDanaFragen video.
So my question for you is: What other questions do you have for me?
Please let me know down in the comments with the #AskDanaFragen.
And are you planning on watching the Eurovision Song Contest this year?
And would you consider it being a big deal where you live?

A green bundle of aspar...asparagus. A green bundle of asparagus.
Alright! Okay. But those were...I...ahhh!
