School them grin.

I also stay away from such people, I can't pretend it doesn't exist I can't just!.

And I hate when people think speaking the language will automatically redeem you from racism, like there are foreigners who speak perfct german but still experience racism, myself included.




There are even black or mixed children that are born and bred in Germany, speaks German at mother tongue level and still gets discriminated!

I have lived in Germany now for 6 years now,came for masters,finished and stayed, Germany is not home and not where a migrant should call a home. As a black man in Germany there is a chain they place on the leg already that even the children they born here in Germany cannot be able to achieve an enviable height due to the fact that the child will be pulled down before he or she reach a university level except if the child is extra ordinarily brilliant.

Then I have built a duplex in my village and trying another one for renting. I live in a shared apartment to achieve all this. Germany or Abroad is not anyone home. Even if you have resident permit or citizenship in Germany or any Europe, one day you will be remainded that you are a foreigner just as they did to Ozil the footballer.Ozil have return back his citizenship and went back to turkey with his family. The reason why Nigerians and other Africans is holding tight in Germany despite been subjugated as nonentities is because Nigeria is a shithole country of no hope. So a Nigeria Lady will prefer to waste all her life in Germany as single mom collecting monthly stipend than to go home while the men counterpart will be rooming about looking for white lady to pregnant.

No matter how you try, as a black man you are not accepted in Germany. I am yet to see a black police man or woman in Germany.

So investing back home is good if you want to return home in the future while your children remain in Germany and be visiting home ones in a while. It is not good for a person to migrate and forget his root back home. To me as an Igbo man it is a taboo and sacrilege for one to dumb his root and continue his generation in a foreign land. Which mean after the father and mother die the children will continue to live in that country like black Americans in America.That is an abomination of highest order.
.

Taboo and sacrilege? This is actually very horrible mind set. If those are your exact reasons for not fully integrating or settling into a foreign country then that’s very unfortunate and you are limiting your self greatly. Immigration is as old as man is , your forefathers that make up the Igbo tribe most likely migrated to what is considered Igbo land today and settled there , and the same goes for many ethnicities and races . It’s ok to want to settle back in Nigeria for the purely sentimental reasons you have given , but is it the wisest though? Why would one spend so much to be established ones self only to come back to Nigeria to fall victim to its system? Incidences of returnees being kidnapped and specifically targeted are on the rise and this is inevitable considering how desperate things have become in Nigeria . There is nothing taboo, or sacrilegious in properly integrating and settling in a foreign country especially one like the likes of Germany et al, more Nigerians should do this . It is ultimately why Nigeria immigrants are hardly welcomed anywhere these days , because for many of us , our intention is to use the country’s resources for our own selfish gain , funnel it back to and/or return to Nigeria when we are done.

The answer to this is subjective. Some people find it easy and some find it difficult. I personally struggled and still struggle with it. You can be the best in your German language class but when you get to the streets, you’ll realize that you’re still learning.

What they teach you in language school is sometimes different from conversational German on the street. In the sense that, you don’t need all the big words you learned in school. The average Turkish guy or the bartender wont be speaking grammar. Even your colleagues at work won’t speak correctly all the time. I’d say the best is to learn street German and spice it up with language school German for correct grammar. You can definitely get by with some incorrect words and bad pronunciations.

Germans are not very sensitive about their language like the French people are. If you don’t get it correctly, they’ll respond anyway or switch to English. They’re patient to help you understand. Except you come across a rude person.
