grammarnazi2:Mr. I humbly disagree with the correction you are suggesting. We are not citizens of the president (Buhari). We all are citizens of Nigeria including the president. Nigeria does not value her citizens or the president does not value the citizens/masses would have been more appropriate. |

Albertone: If you have A1 proficiency, it will be of help to you. How far you go with the language within two years depends on you. There are people who have spent donkey years in Germany with no appreciable knowledge of the language. I think first is that you must have interest in Germany and its people. This will make you like the language and put in the required effort to learn it. Who learns what they do not like? Most of the people always complaining of life in Germany understand little or nothing about the language because they do not like the language hence little or no effort to learn it. You can learn a lot in 2 years even up to B2/C1. But your school also has to be given priority so B1 is not bad if you can get to that level. |

Greetings to my Nairaland family. I want to use this opportunity to update the house on my experience living here in Germany. The following is my opinion about life here in Germany and also trying to learn the language on my own without attending a German language school after two years: 1. Most Germans are private people. They usually take time to make friends even among themselves (by this I mean native German to native German friends). They are very much committed and straight forward with their friends and the relationships they enter into. Sometimes their friendships date back to their elementary school days . I personally know of someone from India that study a course in a sister university in my city (The programme is conducted in German). He told me he is feeling very lonely because he can not seem to be able to make friends in his class because his classmates are mostly Germans. On the order hand, English taught programmes in Germany have mostly foreigners with few or no native Germans in attendance as they mostly will prefer German taught programmes. It is easier to make friends in English taught programmes than in German taught ones. But you could have a few acquaintances (Most times the relationship ends immediately you leave the school premises and continues after you meet yourselves again in school). This young man from India also said he had to open up to one of his classmates who is a native German about his loneliness Germany considering that in his home country they live mostly a communal life and it is a cultural shock for him. The German guy had to sit him down to explain to him that it had little to do with him being a foreigner and more about the private life of most Germans. 2. Most Germans I have met and asked for help have been very helpful. I mean very very helpful. I met a young lady who I wanted to show me the tram stop after work. She walked with me to the tram stop waited for me in the early hours of the day (about 4:30 am) at the tram stop for about 10 minutes until the tram came and I boarded it then she went away. The second experience was in Hamburg I needed direction to the airport and I asked another German lady who was walking on the street. She turned around and walked with me until the airport was visible from where we where standing then she left. I have many other examples. Also there are crazy people in Germany just as we have here in Nigeria. In my opinion the good far outweighs the bad even in East Germany where I live. Do not allow any body to poison your mind with stereotypes. Just try to experience things first hand. As long as you are straightforward yourself and adhere to rules, you will have little or no problems living in Germany. 3. Germans are among the most hard working people in the world if not the most hard working. These guys do not get tired. You will think you work hard until you encounter a German at work. Little wonder all the national teams of Germany do well in most world competitions because work is their motto. What most German ladies in their forties and fifties do in factory even some young men from other countries will find it very difficult to beat that output. I think that quality is worthy of emulation. 4. Some Germans will not want to share a seat with you in bus or train at least in my city: do not be surprised if you seat alone on a seat for 2 or more people often . I have stated it before that Germans are mostly private people and take time to warm up to people. I also do not think that everyone who does this is a racist. In every land there is the good, the bad and the ugly. 5. Learning the language: A lot of foreigners enroll in language programmes to help learn the language quickly. I will recommend this if you have the means. But for some of us on a tight budget, there are a lot of avenues to learn the language for free. You can learn from people on the street, from YouTube German language channels, television channels like cartoons and documentaries. All you need to do is learn something new everyday. You can see how well I am doing trying to learn the language in the second part of the attached YouTube video . Conclusion is that Germany is a wonderful country with amazing people and opportunity. I will recommend it for anyone who wishes to come and study. Auf wiedersehen! [url][/url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g95XdXLWO5w 14 Likes |

Albinoflash: Don't ever think of taking your life. You are alive today because God has plans for your life. You may not know what God has saved you from or He is doing to protect you. Let me tell you a little about me. I lost my both parents before I could stand on my own. My brother that was responsible for me had to travel abroad for better opportunity. Things where very difficult. After my University education I started squarting on the Mainland ( Lagos). I got a job at the other end of Lagos (Ajah) and had to squat there too because the pay was not enough for my transport. I even had to live on wooden houses over the lagoon behind Eleganza in Ikota. Squaring in different places. It was very difficult. My brother was not picking my calls because he too was trying to survive. I remember me crying in a BRT bus. Asking God why me. To cut the long story short. Life today is a lot better than then. I travelled to further my studies in Germany. When I got here I was diagnosed with a hole in the heart, pulmunary hypertension, pulmonary embolism and many more. The University teaching hospital I was operated in here in Germany told me they have never encountered this before in Germany. That it is only with infants. That they usually don't survive it to adulthood. They also said if I had not come when I came the damage would have been irreversible. You see my brother hold God tight and never ever neglect the unseen battles He is fighting for you. Peace my brother 18 Likes 2 Shares |

janettee: Yea I get your point. Living with dirty people is a pain in the arse. But these guys are something else. Everytime I go to the toilet I see long pubic hair all over the toilet bowl and water everywhere. Its difficult not to generalise that these people are like that. But ofcourse not every one of them is like that and that is a fact. Its just that I have not met an exception. 1 Like 1 Share |

Just my 2 cent. This depends on the depth of your pocket. If you can avoid shared apartments especially with Indians please do. Apologies this is not meant to be a rasist post. I am writing this from first hand experience. I have lived with four of them. HYGIENE IS NOT THEIR STRENGTH. The funny thing is that one of them has brought about 3 other people to live with him in his room. I live in a 3-room shared flat. we each have a room to ourselves. My other two flat mates are Indians. Sorry to say this they are litter bugs or should I say a mobile thrash can. They don't sleep at night, they make noise all through the night, every night. They have never for once swept the flat or wash the toilet. The electric plate they dont clean it. If I don't clean it, it will remain like that. If I clean it, they will mess it up almost immediately. I have threatened to report them to the landlord but they plead with me. They resume to their normal activity after a few days. They dont sleep and dont want you to sleep. They have turned the kitchen to a refuse dump. I have told them severally to put their thrash in a nylon i bought that I will empty the refuse when it is full. They will leave the refuse bin I provided and put their mess on the floor. They leave the main door to the flat open day and night. I have complained I am tired of complaining. I told them if there is any security breach I will hold them responsible. I close it. the next moment it is open again. They are very dirty and noisy. Although I am not saying all Indians are like this, but I have not been lucky because I have lived with four of them minus their friends that live with them. The common denominator is FILTH!!! I wish you all good luck and success as you come to Germany. 10 Likes 2 Shares
