- Max explains how well you have to speak German in order to be understood during your time in Germany. More information about studying and living in Germany on www.study-in.de!
Why do I watch these videos I freakin live in Germany haaha
+Red-Candy-Rocks Weil es interessant zu sehen ist, wie die Ausländischen reaktionen auf das deutsche System ist.
Whats the scope of pr in germany for non-EU students? An honest reply will be much appreciated.
I love that his eyes always look to the camera (or to the girl) in a very kind and sweet way.... His smile, gosh! He's gonna make me fall in love *_*
I don't know any German words except " Brot " and " Wurst "
Now I have the confidence to start my studies in Germany tomorrow (y)
well, it has English subtitles so you should be able to follow along. You can always stop the video if it's too fast for you, too.
OMG Max is sooo beautiful, he should have a fan club.
But usually german guys are pretty hot.
That was by far the most cringe intro I've seen in my entire life :D
@ALIZINNIA
unfortunately not. What Lucia actually tried to say with that is, that there are various opportunities to learn German in Germany. Our advice: Ask your university for course offers or check the current program of the Volkshhochschule (VHS), which every bigger German city has.
Best from Bonn,
Your study-in.de-team
i love max :)
2,80€ für 'ne Brezel?! :D
Dear Audinos,
yes, talking with your mouth full is considered quite rude in Germany. Best wishes, your DAAD-team
there should be a office/Büro for students from foreign countries. try to find this office and not the main office for all students.
@Kooshkff
well, she never said she learned to speak like that in half a year :-). No one can tell you how long it takes until you can talk in German fluently because that depends on so many different things. Just get started and see how it goes.
Best from Bonn!
@Ifrahalam Dear Ifrah, you should definetely finish your masters in India first and then apply for your masters because you won't be able to tranfer your grades just like that to a German university and continue your studies. Our database for international programmes shows you a list of all Masters programmes in Engineering. Pay close attention to the detailed description to find out what's required: daad.de / idp
@shiloh1213 of course it will because it'll be much easier for you to understand the locals and settle in much quicker. So keep it up :-)
PFf. Max is so handsome.
Very informative and innovative video Danke DAAD !
you are adorable and makes me want to come to your country to go to school! Keep up the good work...good vid! Very friendly!
@Tchaikovsky09
no, you could surely communicate in a mixture of both of the languages with anybody!
Well, good question ;-) In this case you have to consider it's an informal situation and his mouth isn't stuffed while speaking. What Max does can be accepted among friends - but try to avoid it in formal situations as this definetely would be impolite. Best wishes, your DAAD team
True, I have to say that I would love if somebody would ask me something in English bc I symply love talking to English speaking people. Don't ever hesitate !!
Waaaas? hat die da 2,80 für ne brezel bezahlt?
Schon verrückt, ne?
The way she looks at him 💖
@WishMonkeyscanskype
no, you're not screwed. Actually the opposite is true because if you decide to come to Germany for your studies it will be much easier for you to settle in and understand typical customs much better due to your language skills. It's all good! :-)
danke für die Informationen, es war ein tolles Video ;)
Good message. "You can get by in English, but you will have a lot more fun in German."
@supertrex2 Hard to tell. It might depend on the kindness and politeness of the people in the grocery. Actually, some Germans are very nice and some are not. Yet, most of them won't bite, so it's worth to give it a try.
@rakusko33
Du brauchst auf jeden Fall einen Schulabschluss, der gleichwertig zum deutschen Abitur ist, damit du direkt an einer deutschen Uni studieren kannst. Hast du diesen nicht, du möchtest aber trotzdem auf Deutsch studieren, musst du zumeist vorher einen Kurs am Studienkolleg absolvieren. Am besten schaust du, wo du studieren möchtest und fragst direkt beim International Office der Hochschule nach. Die helfen dir gerne weiter.
Beste Grüße,
Dein study-in.de-team
It is possible to learn to speak German very fast....Koshkff...for me it took three months as well...the difference for me however is that I also speak Afrikaans...and it is Germanic...not the same but I could pretty much guess at some of the words and it sounded almost the same...so I had an advantage...
Hi Juan,
do you mean the Test for Academic Studies (TestAS)? Have a look at their website: testas.de!
Best wishes, your DAAD-team
studying in germany looks so daunting, but let's see. good video!
+Slade Eeyore It's not that hard, I know plenty of my own students (Americans) who've done it and all have done reasonably well, just a matter of being prepared and learning the language (Germany helps you with that). Also lots of other countries have free schooling, France, Scandinavia, Italy and Spain it's cheap, plus in South America most places.
Hey! I hope anyone can answer me. I'm really lost!
I'm not American, but I study the American system. My scores are pretty good.
The thing is, I DON'T KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE GERMAN UNI'S for the American system! I tried emailing them, but they wouldn't answer! I think maybe it's because my emails are in English. (I'm planning on taking a German course pretty soon)
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??! PLEASE?
Good video!! The next february or march I´m going to start Germany course here in Lima, in Goethe Institution. Regards!!
Viel erfolg euch beim Deutsch Lernen ! ;)
Er sagt: "Schön, dass du dich meldest!"
Passt genau genommen auch weder zum Kontext noch zur Übersetzung ;)
@DAADBonn Ahh i just hope i am not :-) Thanks for your help and kind words many Greetings from ireland! :)
@Tchaikovsky09 You would probably get along with a mixtur of the two languages in daily life and I don't think that many people would mind, but still I would advise you to possibly try to say everything in German - in the run long, it's the easier way to the mastering of a language. Also, you would risk that many people answer in English which wouldn't really be helpful to you.
I'm considering studying in Germany for a semester or so, although it is a bit of a pipe dream right now. However, my subject is Illustration. Can you study art abroad in Germany? If so, does it have to be Illustration, or can it be any of the communicative arts?
Also, one of my dreams is to become fluent in German (my dad's German, hence my name, but I'm a novice). How would you immerse yourself amongst other students, in order to learn the language, but still avoid making a fool of yourself? There are a lot of stereotypes about Americans that lead people to assume things about me, and I want to avoid that the best I can (I'm studying in Scotland right now).
Kirsten Großmann your subject shouldn't be a problem, by what i found out, communicative arts translates to kommunikationsdesign, which can by studied at a couple of universities in germany. the majority of us germans realize that our language is tough to learn and we are very forgiving when it comes to grammar, so don't be afraid to "make a fool of yourself" i still recommend to attend a german course since most germans, especially at university, are able to communicate in english on a decent level. if you don't speak german at all, they will just talk in english to you (same thing happened to me in italy)
Liebe Leute vom DAAD Bonn!
Toll, dass es Euch gibt und dass Ihr solche Videos macht! Nehmt's mir nicht krumm, wenn ich zwei kleine Kritikpunkte anbringe: Die dunkle Küche und "Max'" leise Sprechweise fand ich ausgesprochen irritierend, beinahe beängstigend. Vielleicht ging's aber aber auch nur mir so?
Ansonsten: Weiter so! Ihr seid vielen Austauschstudierenden bestimmt eine große Hilfe!
3:16 A couple of coins gets you a big pretzel over there? Over here, in America, you can't get anything for a couple of coins, it takes about 1 pound in weight of nickels (5 cents) to have enough to buy anything! I'm not even going to mention how many pounds of pennies it takes to buy something. lol 40 years ago you could get a huge Hershey chocolate bar for a nickel, but now you have to pay about 50 nickels to get a chocolate bar that is less than half the size they used to be.
Are there any undergraduate Philosophy courses in Germany which is in English? And how are the part-time job opportunities for international students in Germany?
Hi, I'm so delited to find this channel. By the way I love Max. Also thouse are relax situation which we can identify with :)
Max hat so eine angenehme Stimme
you can get around in germany using english just fine unless you find yourself in a small village, but even then you might be lucky. Y si tienes mucha suerte, tambien hay alemanes como yo que pueden hablar castellano. Pero la razon para ir a un pais y estudiar ahi sera aprender una nueva idioma y ver una cultura diferente, verdad? La idioma aleman no es la mas facil pero tampoco hace falta hablarlo perfecto. Los alemanes siempre intentan entender a un extranjero. Como en la panaderia :)
Nice Video !
I'm planning to study in Germany next year/ and im started to collect money and information from today and everyday I discover something new / it's really simple and if you have money just spend for your living cost in a Germany for study / i will try hard to have the amount of money for living next December then I will apply for the summer semester ( Chemistry master taught in English) I have decided this and working for it , since I graduated I'm interested to go abroad to Germany
+Violet Rose
Hi Violet,
it's nice that you want to study in Germany. We have some useful information for you:
The tuition at German universities is very low. However, all students have to pay a semester contribution. For more information, see the section on money and costs www.study-in.de/en/plan-your-stay/money-and-costs/
You can find master programmes in chemistry with English as course language here www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programs/en/?p=l#q=chemistry&fos=0&fee[]=0&sortBy=1&page=1&display=list The programme description informs you about the admission procedure and the requirements.
Wish you all the best, your Study in Germany team
Ohh , Thank you very much , i really appreciated your replay , study without tuition fee or in some cases only semester fees making Germany is first destination for education seekers , with high quality of education environment and the special location in the heart of Europe / i really looking forward for making it next year , and very excited from today , love and great to you Deutshland :)
thank you
helpful for non local students
Umm this guy is GORGEOUS lol now I'm excited to go see my father's German roots for the first time ;)
Why would you go in to a German bakery and order in Spanish?
Thanks!! :)
I'm learning German through apps and films. Exactly what are the benefits of learning German. Wanna know more

Hi Perways,

Ich habe eine Frage: ich komme aus Peru, lebe in Argentinien und gehe dort in einer deutschen Schule. Ich habe aber, was die meisten nicht haben, 9 Jahre in Oesterreich gelebt, also kann ich deutsch praktisch perfekt. Ich wuerde gerne wissen, was meine Ansichten sind, in Deutschland zu studieren wenn ich KEIN internationales Diplom habe, das heisst das ich nur ein normales habe wenn ich die Schule beende, das aber beweist, dass ich gut Deutsch kann.
a brezel that costs more than 1 euro?? holy shiiiiiat where was that??
Bueno, ese seria el maximo precio por un solo pan.
Normalmente cuestan a partir de 0,30€.
A veces hay ofertas 5 por 1€ o algo parecido.
Saludos desde Alemania
Sometimes you also have to watch where in Germany you are, beacause in the DDR mostly second language in Schol was russian and not english.
soweit ich das verstehen kann: Schön dass du dich meldest. Hab ich zwar noch nie gesagt aber jedem das seine :P
Yes, that's right^^
She said that she took six months language courses at an adult education center without spend a lot of money, could you tell me please wich center is that?
Liebe Grüße
Anastasia
@MUEREACOSTA Hola yo también vivo en Puerto Rico pero me acabo de mudar a USA... hablo Inglés también... me gustaría saber si vas para Alemania? Yo ya apliqué a un programa de Verano pero no sé todavía los resultados.. cuéntame si vas a ir para permancer en contacto. Gracias.
Hi, we do understand that it's not always easy to find a job in Germany but you should not generalise the situation. Of course, without German it's not always easy to find a job but this is not only the case in Germany...
Best wishes, your DAAD-team
COOL WONT BE LONG WE WILL ALL BE THERE!
I'm planning to go to Germany on next June when i'm graduated but now my German is so poor. >,<
Kann es wirklich sein dass ein Brezel wirklich 2,80 kostet?!
ich dachte, dass es ein 'Prezel' war....war ich falsch den ganzen Zeit?
I'm Australian of German ancestry and I don't speak German.
I'm surprised at how many non-Germans speak German.
Is it a good thing? :)
Para mi, el alemán es difícil en construir una oración pero lo voy a seguir estudiando =)
And I wasn't aware of Germans learning spanish, although I have heard that they do enjoy other languages. I'm not sure if that's true or not since I've never visited Germany =/ But I plan to within the next few years.
I'm looking forward to studying Journalism in Germany, but I can't find a university that has the course in English besides learning Germany. Any suggestions please?
@Tchaikovsky09 wenn du das vorher ankündigst und dein gesprächspartner englisch kann, ist das schon ok. bei leuten unter 30 jahren, schätze ich das 85% sowieso englisch können, von 30 - 40 viellecht 65% mit jedem jahrzehnt mehr dann weniger englischsprecher. ist aber nur ne schätzung, grundsätzlich kann die mehrheit der deutschen englisch sprechen und verstehen.
My co-worker married a German. When he visits Germany, he tries to learn some German. He can't. They all want to practice their English on him.
Hello,
My Name is Fatima I would like to do English Law with German Law at University of Bristol (which is in England) but I found out that I have the chance to go to Germany and actually study for a year. In my case I've lived in Germany before (Muenchen) and I loved it there. Deshalb is die Deutsche sprache kein problem fuer mich. However, what universities in Germany are best for Law?
Danke schoen
Fatima
Ich wuerde gerne eine Anwaltin werden.
Wer auch Student in Deutschland ist, hungrig ist aber kein Geld hat, der hebt den Daumen!
@lesliegaitanos
me podrias ayudar en como aplicaste para irte a estudiar a alemania
So very strange, but helpful. thanks
@iganduyan07 It's a normal thing among latin american countries. They do a lot of besos.
hi DAADBonn, how kind and easy are Germans with a 14 years old? my school decides to send my friends and maybe me if I past the German test, will it be difficult to live there alone, especially in a young age?
@TheSunmanho
What makes you say something so harsh? All international students, no matter where they are from, are most welcome in Germany. It's not about the nationality but the personal attitude about living in a foreign country be it Germany or anywhere els in the world. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying something like this because that puts you on the same step with all those loud and ignorant people you are complaining about. Think about it!
Best,
Your DAAD
Hallo ich heiße Juan, Ich komme aus Kolumbien, aus Bogota, ich lebe in Bogota,
bueno hola mucho gusto soy Juan quiero llegar a Alemania, quiero saber de instituciones donde pueda tomar el curso, para el examen de comprobación de las universidades alemanas, quisiera saber de que lugar son, sur norte este o oeste de Alemania, para identificar un poco mejor.
2,80€ for a Brezel oO WoW either you are in a Holiday Spot or at the Oktoberfest. I pay for a Cheese-Berezel arount 1,10€ or a normal Brezel 70 cent.
I've looked at that University but because I lived in Munich before I was thinking of a university based in Munich which would be optimal- I mean I actually don't know what the 'law' degree is called in Germany; I heard that they call it 'Jura' or 'wirtschaftsrecht'
But thanks anyway :D
Fatima
Max, can you tell me what is the full name of the
girl ?
Ist zwei achtzig viel für eine Brezel? Wie viel kostet eine normalerweise?

Hi! Thank you for your video it was very helpful, I'm an international student from the Philippines planning to study there in Germany I'm reallllllyy really scared because I only know like the basic German and I fear I won't be able to cope up well with the others T.T it's really a major concern for me T.T
hello DAAD plz can you make a video about the (aufnahmetest) of studienkolleg thanks in advance !! :)
Hallo DAAD-team! Möchte Ich auch in Deutschland leben (es war mein großes traum seit ich war 12 jahrs alt) und ich habt Deutsch lernen seit dann. Jetzt Ich bin 16 jahrs alt aber als ich 18 Jahre alt geworden, möchte ich meinen Traum passieren. Das ist warum Ich sie fragen wollen, welche stadt Die beste zu beginnen (in Bezugt auf Akzent und so weiter)?
i feel like they interested in one another by the way they look at each other
Kommt drauf an wo du bist. - Hier sind die Preise manchmal auch so total von der Welt ... N perliner Ballen für 1.60 z.B. oder ne (winzige) Nussecke für 2.70 ...
I've been looking for a school in Germany where the bachelor's of civil engineering is taught in english. Do you know of any such school?
+miocinghiale22 Hi, unfortunately our database lists no such courses... But you might search for alternative programmes: www.study-in.de/en/plan-your-studies/find-programme-and-university/ Best wishes, your Study in Germany team
+miocinghiale22 While there are some private schools in Germany that do this (and they're still relatively low cost), your best option is probably just to go to Germany and do a one-year intensiv language course, these are very common and practically free, and your German will get good enough so that you can take the courses in German, which is the best option. Good luck.
Most Germans speak english (more or less) but almost nobody speaks spanish here.
This reminded me ma shopping in De!!!
so cool
i would stress my eyes to read the text next to the products, read the name i want and say bitte :o)
Good video
Ist das viel für eine Brezel? Wie viel kostet ne normalerweise?
where does lucia comes from?
@BachAviaN well wat about in the univeristy?
Where IS the girl from, it is obvious she is not from spain due to her accent . , i am american and would like to go to germany , maybe someday :)
@Kooshkff I learned to speak German in a week. It's easy.
Creo que es injusto decir que SOLO Alemania quiere gente que pueden hablar la idioma en una nivel alta, porque creo que muchos países son así. Ademas de los Estados Unidos que es un país de inmigrantes y de bastantes nacionalidades viviendo juntos.
