You should be the last person to write this honestly. Tell me you havent gotten lost in Munich a number of times. I know you too well.

Pauluche:
Hello house it's been a while since I've been here, been very busy.
Please promise2, ritze, Ayohbk, JJCE and LargeBreed kindly resend your emails my mail box kinda got overly croweded as such I deleted everything in it (it's an old mail though).
Enjoyed all the comments about language issue. All these guys are saying is true.
I spend at least 3 hours in the shopping mall because I just can't read the signs and the labels but thank God it's getting better now.
BTW Has anyone seen Apple or Damatol hair cream in Germany? Lolz omo e be like na only shampoo them get for here o! If I use that one, whenever I travel go 9ja people go run o

Eke40seven:
@Eke47 thanks a lot for your advise.

I was at the embassy today as requested and I was asked to come back anytime from January 20th for my Visa.

Thank God the long wait is not in vain.

cahnellven:


Looooool....

Getting lost in Munich has more to do with the advanced transportation network therein than my poor German language skills or lack thereof.

Eke40seven:
It may not be entirely true that it was due to the advanced Transport Network. In order to save myself the disgrace of constructing a poor sentence to mimic their announcements i will ´leave that aside. However, if you listen very well, you will understand that you actually got lost because you didnt understand a thing that was announced in the train.
Let me give you my latest language mumu Display of last week depsite that i even grab many words here and there. A route i follow quite well was to be repeated again, not knowing that there is a slightly different arrangement the early morning train i took it. Na so i Balance two legs for train for my journey from Fröttmanig to sendlinger Tor, at Münchner Freiheit, something i had a poor grasp of was spoken very fast over the Train, i still balance like say na me buy the Train, until every Soul in my own couch left. To me, it was good riddance because i didnt have to deal with the reeking breath from the residue of their midnight beer drinking escapades, not knowing the joke was on me until the train took me to a tight dark tunnel and parked (it was an Underground train by the way) and that was it. them don park train and i didnt know when it was going to move again, faced with the reality that i could sleep there for hours in a place where the air was in short supply, na so sweat grip me. five minutes later, the train conductor, in his attempt to changed the direction of the train saw me and told me to be calm.
No worry, you just land, you never see anything. at least for now, i'm sure you didnt bother reading the letters DB and AOK sent to you for obvious reasons.
@crowns2, thanks dear, my hidden comments have been posted back too.
@richjke, wow congratulations! Go to Deutschland and succeed.

styles2009:
I stressed the language part for sometime here but some would come with their theory of English city bla bla bla, i dey laugh in pidgin.

My point even: Surly, you would get through your course of study in English but don't forget ,when you are searching for a Job in Germany, the language aspect would play a very big role and that's,where the cards start to fall.
Don't forget there's a huge competition out there.
Cheers!

Lol . I also observed that because its their Language they speak fast. If only they could speak slower atimes, one would have been able to pick out words and their meanings.
Someone was in a train and an urgent announcement was made in German for everyone inside it to disembark immediately. That the train was about to be moved off the track.The bobo sat still. Everyone left. Only him remained. Next thing he knew, the train began to turn upside down. Na so the bobo begin dey shout oh

Top of the morning to you wonderful people.
I got a report from uni-assist yesterday concerning my application (MSc biotechnology) to BTU Cottbus). It reads that my application can't be forwarded to the school because I've not yet attained the necessary undergraduate degree to qualify for the graduate program. My undergraduate course is microbiology and I'm sure its one of those courses that qualifies one for MSc biotechnology.

Also in the report, it was kindly noted that when my bachelor's degree (8semesters in Nigeria) was converted to German bachelor, it's 6semesters. Stating that 7-semester program is required to qualify one for the graduate program.

At this point, are they saying 8-semester program in Nigeria is equivalent to 6semesters in Germany? Was anyone in this dilemma before? What should be done now? Should I request that my application be forwarded to the school that way?

@Eke40seven, @phucado, @Hollyatan and everyone please come to my rescue.

Prompt and critical responses are needed please.

I asked a question and everyone turned a blind eye and we are busy conversing about how important it is to learn your receiving country's language. Its the same as asking if its OK for one to eat. Be it for integration and economical reasons its imperative you learn the language,its not optional...Its even easy with the Duolingo app...
Again I asked a question about the 100L transcript for undergraduate admission that I had a a GPA of 2.77 but with two carryovers. Is that good enough and when can i start applying for winter semester admissions 2016

crowns2:

I must say you are very rude. Why dont you pay an agent or ask your limited Dulingo App.

What would you have me do? I was trynna learn something from you guys and no one seems to be aiding me at all. No one is obligated to help me I know that but we are here agreeing and disagreeing on the same issue. I believe the issue of language has been answered time and time again. I haven't been to Germany but you can't hope to go to a foreign country whose first language isn't English and hope to be comfortable without learning the language. It doesn't matter the city,I believe it's a necessity and when I mentioned Duolingo it as intended to help prospective learners of the language cos it takes a fun approach to learning

pm hollaytan, i think he faced similar issues with BTU, and he also studied microbiology..

crowns2:

Personally I applied to only two schools and I didnt use Uni Assist. I dont know the tips and tricks. I hope you find answers by someone who has had the same challenge.
Goodluck

Thank you oga Eke for the response. @hollaytan, please you have a pm.

It is funny, that you can conclude that bsc microbiology qualifies you definitely for Msc biotechnology. This is totally wrong. Bsc biotechnology qualifies you for Msc biotechnology not bsc microbiology. Biotechnology as a whole discipline is technique. And I do not thing there is a school in Nigeria that does biotechnology as a whole discipline. Haven't said that. My advice, please try biological sciences. You could apply to unigiessen, agrobiotechnology. It will be accepted since it is not a whole biotechnology training but just part.

sorry bro, my school in Nigeria offers biotechnology as a whole discipline..........nur vex o......am just saying........ and yea it does qualify him, cos they are related in a way.

you are partially wrong because I was offered Biotechnology at FUTO over a decade ago but declined it.

House join me to thank God. The journey that started since September has finally come to fruition as I finally made the winter bus. The long awaited A.M mail dropped in my box this afternoon. I appreciate the efforts of all the Ogas in the house; Eke, Oye50, Benycent to mention but few.
