Student Life: Living, shopping, meeting people?

[@MissRainier]

I am an American who is attempting to teach myself German and I am finding these Student Life videos very instructive and helpful. I like the German language very much and I'm considering perhaps living in Germany at some point. These videos are a considerable help. Danke :)

[@mezomoza7]

You make me smile with every video I watch for you, Max :)

[@arieljorischeuffanoubibou22]

Waouuuuh! Leute, ihr lehret mich so viel und euch bin ich sehr dankbar. Ich wünsche euch noch mehrere erfolgreiche Jahre für eures Projekt👍

[@StudyinGermany_de]

@MiaMountainLover Those rented out by the student union are meant for students only. But in many cities you'll find lots of private flat shares (Wohngemeinschaften) which you can apply for, if they happen to have a spare room.

[@StudyinGermany_de]

@Necroave666 well, in general yes, everyone with a valid driving licence can own a car. But keep in mind that it does not only cost money to buy one but insurance and most of all gas is expensive too. At the moment prices are up to 1,60 Euros for one litre.

[@StudyinGermany_de]

Dear Ahmed, unfortunately there is no subtitle in German. But thanks for your comment, it is good to know that in addition with hearing you would like to have a possibility for reading the German texts as well. Best, Your study-in.de-team

[@StudyinGermany_de]

Dear AGONDO Kafarou, We are happy to hear that! We would recommend to contact the International Office of Trier University for further information on accommodation.

[@nhesinberlin]

Max, das ist ja ein sehr hilfreiches Video. Und deine Aussprache ist fuer die Auslaender wie ich sehr gut zu verstehen. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the UK.

[@eaglesfan109]

@Themusicaligera eh, decent. It's hard to keep on top of it here in suburban Pennsylvania. But I can still do all the daily tasks and converse without too much difficulty in the language; which makes my trips over there all the more enjoyable.

[@StudyinGermany_de]

@karlsruheprotest Hallo, wir haben das Projekt gemeinsam mit Studierenden der Hochschule Mittweida realisiert und können dir deshalb leider nicht sagen, welche Videokamera dafür verwendet wurde. Beste Grüße, Dein Study-in-team

[@EstreitoCaminho]

Basta ativar a legenda e colocá-la acima da legenda em inglês. you can to use the subtitle from youtube and put it where do you want.

[@MissRainier]

@Themusicaligera On the BBC website under languages there is an interactive basic course that covers German among several other languages. There is even a German word of the day. Check your local library for books and audio tapes on learning German and , of course, study videos like this one. That's what I'm doing and it seems to be slowly but surely working. Best of luck!

[@djamilboukhechba6459]

next year after learning german language I will study medecine in munchen I am so exited ... now I am waiting the embassy decision .. I love Germany

[@alexandrasalas3742]

Go for it! Good luck :D

[@bruisback]

Hey Max, nice video; ask them to put "german subtitles= deutsch untertitel" so we can follow and learn german. Thanks

[@davodmoradi8265]

Danke schon

[@eaglesfan109]

In 2010, I spent 4 months in Würzburg. These videos in a sense make me homesick for Germany, haha.

[@SiggiNebel]

@Xolares Don't worry."Tschusch" is strictly Austrian. It's not used and widely not even understood in Germany.

[@user-dl1xz3mj3i]

lol stupid comment ! Its German thing ya fool

[@malekkhalfallah9369]

interesting! thank you !

[@gafanat3269]

Very interesting vid!!Thanks for uploading!!! I am hitting on Trier next semester for German classes and when I see the two girls speaking, I am motivated and envy them!!! Goodbye Paris, Trier here I come. By the way, would you advice me a shared flat in a student residence or a share flat with students but in downtown? Vielen Danke!

[@ilikevines]

these videos are really good..nicht schwierig zu verstehen und hilft mir mein deutsch zu verbessern, vielen dank

[@RubiMercuri]

im interested in studying in germany so im trying to learn as much as i can about the country

[@StudyinGermany_de]

+RubiMercuri Hi Rubi, that is nice to hear. Why don't you browse through our website to discover Germany: www.study-in.de/en/discover-germany/ Best wishes, your Study in Germany team

[@locnguyentan1657]

Can you put German subtitle in these videos please? ^_^

[@SiggiNebel]

That's true, as far as "Tschüss" is actually meant. It possibly derives from the Spanish "a diós" or maybe the the French "à dieu" via the German adaptation "adjes", which was quite common in the 19.century and finally transformed into "tschüss" in a northern German pronounciation. But "Tschusch" (allegedly derived derived from a Slavic word for "listen!") is a not very friendly Austrian word for foreigners, especially those from the Balkan states.

[@StudyinGermany_de]

Hallo, schön, dass dir unsere Videos und unser Hauptdarsteller Max gefallen. Max spricht in diesen Filmen besonders deutlich, damit ihn möglichst viele verstehen. Er lebt in Berlin, was jedoch nicht heißt, das alle Menschen dort ohne Akzent sprechen. Wichtiger, als der Ort, ist doch das Projekt und der Doktorand, den du im RISE Programm unterstützen wirst, oder? Beste Grüße und viel Glück für deine Bewerbung, Dein study-in.de-team

[@ingGS]

Wow this is incredible! It is answering all the questions I had... thanks DAADBoon.

[@LittleLulubee]

The guy is so cute :)

[@kris-zz1ix]

对于德语初学者真的是很有帮助，同时可以增进德语学习的乐趣。非常有用。Dankeschön 😊

[@luispaez5728]

Hello, can you please help me? I wanted to know, the WG's are different from the Jugendherbergen, correct?- Also, when doing the procedure of obtaining a visa, my local embassy requires that I already know where I will stay... is it better if I look for a WG right away, to present that to the Embassy?

[@Xolares]

@Balqees8 it called tschüss, with ü! if you say tschusch, it´s a bad word for guys who didn´t come from german!

[@Themusicaligera]

@MissRainier me too, im also interested in living in germany and teaching myself, have you got anything good like webpages or anything to learn german, because i cant fin anything good, please help me

[@aminrossignol7062]

Where are you at Max? are you in Berlin ?

[@ThePrototype4]

Hallo, Max! Ich muss mal was fragen... wo wohnen Sie in Deutschland? Hoffentlich dieses Sommer werde ich in Deutschland mit DAAD (das RISE-Programm) ein Forschungsprojekt betreiben. Ich hab das gefragt, weil ich ihres Deutsch sehr gut verstehen kann ( Ich weiss nicht, ob es nur ihre Artikulation ist) und deshalb habe ich gedacht, dass ich potenziell in einem Ort in dieser Naehe wohnen koennte, sodass ich besser die Deutschen verstehe. Ich habe vermutet, dass Sie vielleicht im Norden wohnen.

[@StudyinGermany_de]

@SiggiNebel Tschusch??? If you meant "Tschüss" that's the normal word for saying "Bye" in German.

[@fikaindriyanti]

YAY! Hopefully i can get scholarship at German. Cause I think its really cool. huh but im beginner and recently i got accepted at senior high school. So, can u give me some tips for me to be more effective to learn about Deutsch? thank u btw i liked this video so much

[@supertrex2]

is there a lot of Asian communities in Germany?

[@StudyinGermany_de]

Dear bruisback, have a look at our recnt videos, they all contain German captions! Best wishes, your DAAD-team

[@aishahidrs]

i already learn german language in my country for 1 year and a half but i still suck at it since i dont practice the language often because there's no one i could talk to hahahha. im a bit disappointed in myself since i cant understand most of what you guys said in the video. :(

[@kashiwamizu]

@kashiwamizu Sorry, the comment is not supposed to be directed to you... it's for parkerboggs89... For Asian communities in Germany, the most prominent I know is in Dusseldorf, but it's prominently Japanese... I don;t know for other Asian nationalities, sorry....

[@bruisback]

Hallo! alles zuzammen: It would be interesting "german subtitles" also, so we can repeat and learn. Danke. Thanks

[@LoveYourLife2704]

I m trying to understand you talking in german, but it s so hard!!! I study german for 2 years :P i hope i could communicate when i come there :P

[@rockpiojo]

Isn't car-share the same as taxi cabs?

[@abhieybilly8492]

hey max! are you in University of Duisburg-essen?

[@BahadirSimsekMD]

GREAT PLACE TO LIVE ... GREAT UNIVERSITIES . MAGNIFICENT CITIES. CHEAP AND QUALITY.

[@shashankrao8929]

What university do you study in max?

[@3amerio]

why there is no subtitles Deutsch ?

[@marcapapas3731]

Gut widieos! Aber warum ohne deutsch untertitre?

[@ThePrototype4]

@DAADBonn Ja natuerlich. It was merely both a compliment and a joke commenting on how different the dialects can be in Germany.

[@nataliehy1220]

Hi Max, I'm a Hong Kong college student studying French in Hong Kong. I am extremely interested in German language and culture besides French, so I would like to study Bachelor (Biz management/ Communication Taught in ENG, with German course)in Germany the coming September. I wanna know if there is any other ways to find people share apartment?I'm definitely interested in sharing apartment with people instead of living alone in the student dorm. On top of that, I would like to know if there are good school/uni recommended with no tuition fee?(as my parents would not support me). I have searched for some, but not sure if that's a good uni with ample support to international student, like DHBW LÖRRACH, ESB Business School &Reutlingen University.( I am open to any place in Germany as long as there are events coming on in the town & opportunities to find an internship ) What's your opinion? Thank you so much! Cheers Natalie

[@nataliehy1220]

+Natalie C. Just Want to get to know more friends and meet more new people. So I dont want to stay in a boring town with no events

[@StudyinGermany_de]

+Natalie C. Hi Natalie,A lot of helpful information about finding accommodation in Germany is available at: www.study-in.de/en/life/finding-a-flat/ There exist different forms of accommodation for students in Germany. One of these are the student dormitories in the university towns. Adresses of student dormitories can be found by using the dormitory search Wohnheimfinder. If you already know at which university in Germany you will study you can use the Wohnheimfinder to search for student dormitories: www.study-in.de/en/plan-your-stay/accommodation/dormitoryfinder/. In case you do not find your university there please contact the local student service organisation (Studentenwerk) or the international office of the university you have chosen for information about opportunities to find a flat. More information about forms of student accommodation you can find here: www.study-in.de/en/plan-your-stay/accommodation/.Best wishes,Your study in Germany-Team

[@nataliehy1220]

Study in Germany Noted. Thank you so much for your quick & detail response. I will search for those links recommended. Cheers Natalie

[@herrdesai6853]

hey , how much does it cost for living in the university area(hostel) itself?

[@StudyinGermany_de]

Hi, compared to other European countries, the cost of living in Germany is quite reasonable. The largest expense is your monthly rent. In most cases, applicants have to prove that they have a specific amount at their disposal for one year. For more information, visit our website-section on money and costs www.study-in.de/en/plan-your-stay/money-and-costs/ Best wishes, your Study in Germany Team

[@herrdesai6853]

[@StudyinGermany_de]

Hi Yassine, no, usually there aren't any age limits for studying in Germany. Admissions requirements you can check on the Website of your favourite degree programme! Best wishes, your DAAD team

[@ikbenrifi]

[@15908150503able]

Hi mate, I wanna go to Germany for three weeks with my parents and my German isn't good, do most people in Germany willing to speak English?

[@ItsAlex93]

Yes , I have been to Germany several times and I haven't met a person that doesn't speak at least a little bit of english. So you won't have any problems with that I think. Wishing you a pleasant trip. :)

[@MsNisha11]

du bist sehr cute aber du spricht duetsch sehr schnell :( ich kann nicht verstehen :(

[@amlecciones]

Danke schöne! :-) Ich lernen sprache Deutsche. I need to learn German but I'm just doing it by myself! :-(

[@mrafridifastian]

@iwannatravelthewurld Former East Germany which are 5 states in total. It is pretty much safe visiting these places but they aren't that much open to foreigners as compared to German's from other states. So the social segregation is a lot. Other wise it is safe.

[@elafella502]

i am applying for language course next year so can help me out how to find accommodation by given me links that will help iwill be thankful btw in berlin

[@StudyinGermany_de]

+Tommy Varekai youtube, instagram and facebook are not banned^^ but some videos in germany are banned by the "gema" due to copyrights :)

[@MSIMOO1]

I really like the way of this lesson, but why why why :-( they are speaking so fast i dont think this videos clips is for non-German spoken, i guess this one of German TV show

[@sloughery]

Es ist schwer dich zu verstehen, weil du so schnell und leise sprichst. 0:

[@BethanyFung]

@mrafridifastian Which parts of Germany are they unfriendly? Is there racism against Asians and Turks?

[@silverd20]

OH MY GAWD! I can't believe that a western country like Germany has well stocked, imported produce! And here I thought that German Grocery stores were just big vats of beer and a sausage machine XD. Seriously how many people think that German grocery stores sell nothing but beer, pork, and cabbage?

[@NamNguyen-hz9tn]

[@supertrex2]

@kashiwamizu lol. ehhh... wtf.. your reply dont even make sense

[@mrafridifastian]

I am sorry but this guy is showing too much of green fields about student life in Germany. It depends on what part of Germany you are in (as for example, people from Bavaria are normally friendly)...so be prepared if the people are not friendly! (a serious advice from the Head of International Students, TU-Ilmenau, Thuringia, Germany)
