Nice video, for me as a German it's really important that foreigners, no matter where they're from, feel comfortable here and it's always a pleasure to hear when people are enjoying their time here ! :)
As an introvert dude, life is bloody awesome in Germany, nobody judges you, nobody approaches you, nobody bores you, it is heaven on earth! 🤣
I had an african classmate back in the day in german school, he was a french native speaker and he was able to speak english as well. He struggled with lerning german and couldn't understand everything in german class lesson's. I spoke with him since first day in english and help him to translate the test question's, how to write/pronounce the german word for his answer or i was there for a chat. Now he is a german sport teacher in german grade school. I'm really happy for him, he was able to settle in and find his place in germany.
Learning the language is key. Had similar experiences in France. Learned the language, boom, instantly huge increase in quality of life. The german language is hard, but not learning it and staying for a longer time or even live in Germany will be harder on you, I guarantee you.
The first year in Germany was difficult for me (2011). I didn’t yet speak the language fluently and my paycheck was very low. I went to language courses every evening after work so didn’t have any social life. On the weekend I didn’t have energy or money to leave my studio to do things which was very far from everything. Bureaucracy was also a struggle, as I was not European.
That guy from Afghanistan has the most amazing voice, wow.
As a Ukrainian, I moved to Germany at the age of 13. It was tough for me to socialize since others rejected me because of the language barrier. It's been 5 years since then. I'm about to finish gymnasium and my life has become a little easier. Anyway, my advice to the newcomers would be to start learning the language as soon as they can.
I moved to Germany a month ago. The difficulty for me is that there is a lot of bureaucracy here. It's also much colder here than in my hometown. I like the fact that the people here are very friendly, and also here I feel safe. I started learning German, a rather difficult language, but without it it is quite difficult here. In general, everything is new and unusual, but so far I like it. Germany received us quite warmly. Thank you
I can write a whole thesis on moving to Germany as a foreigner. I have the same experience with all the people in the video. The Termin culture to absolute everything is ridiculous. I had to get up at 6:30 am everyday for a month straight to get a Termin for visa application. I was constantly on my phone in order to get an apartment that is suitable for student.
That Afghan man gave pure Gigachad vibe.
As a self-employed German I can confirm that our bureaucracy is killing motivation, creativity and courage. So no wonder everyone from abroad struggles with it. 👀
Man, I loved your channel. The background music is so cozy, and the atmosphere is so good.
As someone who has been considering going to Germany after I graduate from college I find these videos to be super interesting. Please keep them coming!
I see you've incorporated my suggestion about the countries being on screen! It definitely made it way easier to watch! You're the 🐐, cheers!
I read most comments here and most people (foreigners) complained about how hard it is to make friends with Germans. We have two kinds of people: 1) Introvert 2) Extrovert.
Nice video bro. So happy to hear openiens of different people's from different countries. I'm also planning to migrate to Germany started learning German. Plz keep doing more and more videos like this. Lot's of ❤ from India.
the afghan guy's voice was so nice , also the australian girl was so pretty
Such a nice vid. Keep up the great work. Hello from NW Louisiana USA. I really enjoyed my several trips to Europe over the years especially my time in Germany.
The video is as beautiful as you. My first thought was: It depends where you are from. Then you just asked people from almost everywhere. Lovely!
The Brazilian man gave two completely different stories. Initially, he said he came as a child with his family. Then he changed it to say he owned a bar from the age of 14 where he met a German girl who invited him over.
