seun407: please gurus help out. Do I still need to provide IELTS/TOEFL since dey said English speaking counties are exempted.

English is our official language. If in doubt, send a mail to d school and ask them if it is compulsory for you to tave toefl or ielts since english is our official language and language of instruction

seun407: please gurus help out. Do I still need to provide IELTS/TOEFL since dey said English speaking counties are exempted.

Hi bro, by Mother tongue? Nope, u're not exempted! but by official language, i'm 100% certain u had all ur education taught in English (Pry-Tert.) even if u schooled in north. Also, i believe no HR of any 9ja company will write officially to you Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Egun, Urobo e.t.c except
Therefore, you're official lang. is English and so you're cleared/exempted! however, if pepper rest wella and u wan make dem fear fear say 9ja student sabi English wella u can do TOEFL/IELTS. All d best man.

@All, pls is there anyone in the house that have done d lang. prog at Goethe inst.? I want to know if it's compulsory to get d book (#5,000) cos my wife is gonna register any moment from now. if no, is there anyone willing to dispose off his/her own used book? let me know pls.

Danke

seun407: please gurus help out. Do I still need to provide IELTS/TOEFL since dey said English speaking counties are exempted.

Write an email to the school informing them your official language is English . In my case they just requested for a letter from my school stating my course was taught entirely in English.

Since English speaking country are excluded and they did nt state some particular restriction again then u good to go

kelly4top:

1. My name is Kelly4top (Electrical Engr with IT ) studied computer science in naija for one year.

2. German education system different from our naija system system cos in naija they teach us and spoon fed us starting from basics but here thet lecture you starting from advanced critarias. They assume you know it before. I remember the first assignment a professor gave us after 2 weeks of landing to use c-programming to calculate and solve some coefficients in maths as if i had done it before. O'boy we do research and learning here not depending on professors cos they wont teach you any thing. They will only lecture you.

3. Going back to the basics for those who have left school for long was the academic challenge i faced and that was how I tackled it. Spend more time in reading to meet up so that you dont get lost in class as if the professors are speaking Swahili.

3b.i advise them to buckle up and be brave when they first receive the shock of how low our education system, foundation and quality has gone cos they will find out in their first week of lecture here that o'boy...na school i go for naija soo.. abi na only the simple things them dey teach us for there. You answer all question here in 90 minutes maximum. nobody will set like 10 que and tell u to answer 5 or define this or that. Everything here is calculation.

4. yeah they do and we support each other especially on job infos and academics.

5. Yea difficult cos of language barrier. To overcome it, you need to learn the language cos imagine trying to speak with your flat mate and he or she said ich spreche nicht English....i don't speak English. so matter don end be that cos u too don't speak deustch. though some speaks English but few while some speak but wont want to speak it with you cos they are not confident enough.

6. Hard work always pay everywhere.

7. Face your study but all work and no play makes jack a dull boy so try to get fun too. Remove fear from your mind and believe you can do it. Fear alone can deter performance.

8. hhmmm it depends ohhh. it's love matter.

9. clipper. pepper, and what you think you need.

10 Some are friendly. I cant say they are racist cos close to 2 years now, i have no experience on racism but before i came here i head they were but have not seen any. They love bear as igbo man will love palm wine. They are introvert. They queue but most time their system is efficient so you might not see need to queue. They are always punctual. Punctuality is one thing you will first notice here when you come

Conclusion: You can do it. Nothing good comes easy. Just study and you will excel like those who had. At least Tope is writing his thesis now even though he faced the challenges. So challenges are meant to be faced and not to shy away from. Life goes on.

Oga kelly4top, you have maintained the tradition of giving very high quality opinion about life in Germany on this show.
Your contributions are educative and well appreciated.
Thanks for bracing the show.
However, before we let you go, due to popular demand, we would appreciate it if you looked at Q.10 again which was skipped in your answers.

ogbeche77 and Topeajis keep up the good work. Your boiz are hailing o!

@seunstein and other ppl in the house; people at embassy already know all these things or better still, they check the website or contact the school directly because dey have contacts at the schools. so they know, but for the avoidance of doubts, they may ask you,just say no your course is in English period or as the case may be. the VO asked me and i told her this reply and up to the next question no story. so no wory ursef since u alredy met the school requiremnt for admission nd u've been admitted, end of story!

Formatted?
In response to this guys please help clarify; did any body fill the block account form using handwriting?
Was there any problem encountered using it?

@Ibk1010, I hope you didn't send photocopies?
Did you send original copies of your documents required or at least coloured prints?
May be the problem could arise from any of those.
Compare the documents you submitted with that of other people who had completed theirs successfully, I think that will help you address the problem.
Hope you find it helpful.
Good luck!
Abeg guys, help out here. God bless you as you do.

Please are we to paste the passport photograph with gum or stapler to the application form?

Replies will be appreciated.

Use stapler but ensure u write ur name atthe back of each of them.

Hello house. I have received an official invitation from my school yesterday after the confirmed receiving my tuition fee. As it is now, all is set for my interview which is coming up next Thursday. However, I would need to 2 (two) vital information from you guys:

(1). I do not have a birth certificate so I went to the High Court to swear an Affidavit regarding my age. Is it in order or must it be my parent(s) that should do that for it to be acceptable by the German Embassy?

(2). How do I arrange my documents for the interview? Is there a particular order it should take? I am aware I have to go with my bank deposit confirmation, Admission letter, Invitation letter from the institution,completed visa application form and all my credentials and photocopies (2) thereof and my International Passport.

Please house, I need your guidance as usual as this forum has really been helpful and I hope to reciprocate the gesture someday.

Thanks in anticipation

Thank you. God bless.

Filling the account opening form with a pen doesnt mean anything cos it would still be accepted. I filled mine that way.
@Ibk 1010 its no big deal...i suggest you just do as you were asked, print out a fresh copy, fill and sent to them by post (dhl will be better cos it is fast and to avoid any further waste of time), rather than sitting down there and wondering what the issue may be...there is no time to lose, so you could move over to the next stage

gum oo..

Thank you all for ur response. I will send dem a mail immediately to confirm. God bless you.

Good morning peeps.
Before anything, join me in thanking the most high God to whom all thanks is due.

I had my interview on Wednesday, the 10th of September. I had transferred the funds on Friday the 5th and got a conformation on the 9th, a day before the interview.
And sorry I didn't post my interview questions as others, the questions were just as those on the forum. Because I was almost the only one in the house at Lagos, I almost killed myself with worry, (did I do well, what could go wrong and etc), I decided to leave Lagos and head to my cousins' for a cheer. They didn't fail to deliver but it still doesn't exclude the fact that the waiting period is never easy.

Long story short, yesterday (two weeks after the interview), the mail came that I should come with 3 months travelling insurance and my passport.

By God's grace, I should pick it up on Monday.

Thanks guys, every contribution on this forum is always useful even those questions we think are ridiculous and unnecessary.
To those still expecting, I leave Numbers 6 : 24 - 26 for you:

“The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”
