You've got a British accent as well? How so?

I grew up with londoners.

Why do most Nigerians feel they need to change their accent when they speak with a foreigner? Nigerian accent is rated as one of the sexiest in the world. People should learn to embrace it.

When you speak with 9ja accent.. People barely understand shit. They start saying "Can you repeat yourself?", "Come again", "sorry i didn't get what you said" bla bla bla. They don't get it.

It's not their fault. At least someone form Ghana or Cameroon understands me.

So we have to fuse our accent to conform to their understanding. Some people start to speak slower, some pick their words wisely. Because we don't want to lose the conversation or friendship (whatever the case may be)

Personally, i hate when i have to repeat myself all the time. So i switch my accent. Thankfully, I've got a British accent as well.

You won't understand if you've never conversed with someone of non-african accent.

I'm interested in this.

My younger sister has the same issue. She's currently 18 and just got promoted to JS3. (on merit)

Everyone is tired. Like, literally tired. We're nit motivated anymore. I'm not going to say she's dull cos she can definitely tell what is wrong from right. But mehn.. She's not smart academically. She's changed school countless times cos of this embarrassing issue. Even her junior mates are writing Jamb.

I don't even know what she likes or loves to do.. Probably i could chanel my energy from there.

Guys... What do you advise abeg.

Bros I must commend for this.. I have virtually known a bit of some states just because of your experience and write ups.. God bless you.
Please can you tell me any useful information about Passau. Thank you

I have no info about Passau, bro.

FELZ06:
Thank you for the insightful information.

I hope to join you soon but I am still expecting AL from Uni Potsdam (Msc Data Science). Please does it usually take this long?

Admission letter takes a while. Towards the ends of the deadline.
I'm not sure specifically for data science.

Hi Intending Potsdamers,

This is for your orientation.

Potsdam is a capital city. Just about 15 mins to Berlin. Its not a super interesting place to live in;
- It's a major abode of old and aged people who can't keep up with the youthful life style of Berlin. So they migrate to Potsdam cos it's kinda peaceful.

- The houses a quite cheap but very hard to find. Ranging from 270 upwards. Depends on your choice of apartment and what you are looking for.

- No tourist or recreation places to visit. Speaking from personal view, clubs are also hard to find (clubs are the major places to have fun, as far as i know) People mostly go to berlin to have fun. It's not like there's fun there sha.

- if you mingle with the right people, potsdam could be fun for you.

- UniPotsdam student ID covers transportation in Berlin and Brandenburg. (yes, you can move upandan fr free in these places)

- German foods are blank. No spice, no taste, total waste of energy and emotions.

- Nobody cares about you, so mind your business. Even if you fall from a stairs - they wouldn't care, it's not their business especially when your skin is black. But some people could care though.

- No one cares about your dressing as well - but it could pose a sort of attraction when you wear some pretty short dresses (i mean extra short and revealing) cos of your black skin. People literally look at you in disgust and become ashamed on your behalf. Although, right now, alot of people are walking about shirtless and bras alone. Wch is kind of a soothing sight to behold.. Even when they are not endowed

- Education is quite cool. Depends on your program. Mine is okay but very intensive. (you can't select how many courses to take in a semester - means that you spend exactly 2 years.. Except if you fail. And if you try to prolong the program.. People won't take you seriously cos also all the professors can recognise you. Especially during labs cos we're less than 25)
In some program, you can select and even prolong the duration of your program till Jesus Christ comes.

-Different faculties in different campus. E.g. Art and languages are in main campus AM neuen palais.

- Work is very very hard to get.. If you don't know German. Tbvh. Except you go to Berlin. Wch is not so far. But still hard to get kn berlin as well. It's good to know German. It's the in-thing now to get a job.

- Afro stores are available as well. Berlin and Potsdam. But bring your food (it can't be overemphasised. Especially when they sell packet of Maggi here for 5€.)

- oh yes.. Resident permit is 1yr. Yes.. 1 yr. That meins you have to blocked your account again or show some funds in your account for renewal of the permit. I don't know how much exactly. - people move to Berlin cos of this. Berlin gives 2yrs. But housing is freaking expensive there. About 400€ upwards. Then you have to move from Berlin to Potsdam fr classes - close to 30-45 mins depending on where you are.

- Sadly, i know nothing about Brandenburg or cottbus. Even though part of the region in Potsdam.

I hope this helps.
Pm your questions or ask them here.
PS.. I could reply late.

Guys, concerning portsdam Master application.... I uploaded all the required documents on uniassist and was getting set to mail hardcopies of my documents when I got a message from the school that I must provide proof of German proficiency...for that, I'm about to withdraw the application

MSc biochemistry and molecular biology(English taught) .

Who else experienced this....

I school in Potsdam and you must have a German profiency for that course. At least up to A2.
I don't know why it's needed. But i didn't bother applying cos of it. I have friends studying the course and you need the German lang.

Been a while people.
