Instead of posting a the forum, did you consider posting this question in the comments section of her YouTube Channel?

Sorry, I didn't put it properly. What's her native language?

"there are lots of the buildings that" ... her native language may not use articles
"sunset" pronounced /sanset/
"abandoned" pronounced /abandaned/

Could she be Russian?

On her Instagram she has "Немецкая Деревня" as a tag under her name and her earliest pics there are labeled as being taken in Krasnodar, Russia. She also wrote comments in (I assume?) Russian in a couple places there:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BJgBJt6D2li ... _copy_link
https://www.instagram.com/p/BJs_jOyD01F ... _copy_link

So either Russian is her native language or she is at least comfortable enough to write in it on social media.

Yes, it's Russian. And she writes in Russian as an Rissian native speaker, so Russian is her (one of ?) native language I guess.

Yes, she is Russian. I found her mother's channel. They're from Хабаровск.

She looked strangely familiar.

You can also spot a Russian by their use of brackets as smilies))) Even in English :lol:
(well, to be more precise this shows that they use the internet in Russian... of course there are non-natives who do, including Ukrainians)
