Like I now live in Berlin close to Warschauer Straße/Brücke and some people will be like "oh no don't go there. it's so dangerous!" and I'm like what are you even talking about? Same with places like Kottbusser Tor in Kreuzberg or Neukölln in general. A couple of homeless punks or dudes selling weed aren't going to shiv you for walking by.

Germany could be the best or one of the best place(s) for living on earth but the biggest problem with it is its language which takes decades to master. By the time you learn German well enough to understand spoken form of it without subtitles, you will have left your adolescence behind! Germany has always been a dream place for me to live (because I'm a car enthusiast interested in German Youngtimers!) but Deutsch is a massive barrier that never let me enter this great country. Wish all the people in the world could speak the same language and communicate much easier.

[@wakeupcall2665]

Try the Michael Thomas method. And the language isn’t really a barrier, if you’re serious about your dream!

If people speak loud enough, I can understand them but most people tend to speak calmly and they get angry when you ask them to repeat (beg your pardon!) what they have already said!

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

​@@Messergebnis-liebhaber your English is good enough that you shouldn't have too many problems learning German, after all German and English are close cousins... English is basically just a German dialect with a few bits of French, Latin and Old Norse thrown in. Try to see the two languages as one. My tip: look at the sounds and their equivalents in both languages. The English TH is equivalent to the German D. Thanks = Danke The = Der, Die, Das Think = Denken The English GH is equivalent to the German CH. Light = Licht Night = Nacht The English T is equivalent to the German S. Water = Wasser What = Was That = Das (there's the TH = D again) etc. etc. Once you've internalized this you'll have no problems learning German.

[@Messergebnis-liebhaber]

@@barbarusbloodshed6347 Thank you my friend. The truth is I have started learning German for a while (about 2 weeks and a half) and I know all the similarities between the two languages you mentioned above (they are both Germanic languages). I can make simple sentences in German now such as: Wie schnell fahren Sie? Können Sie bitte mir geben um etwas zu schreiben? So, yes I have already started studying German (I study about 3 - 4 hours per day). However, the main problems I face with are: 1) - Understanding spoken German 2) - Making sentences in German and German word order All the complexities of German grammar can be handled because there are rules to follow but the word order doesn't seem to follow any strict rules and verbs, subjects, adverbs and objects can switch their places in a sentence awkwardly! Maybe things get better during the process but I'm not sure!

[@t.a.yeah.]

​@@Messergebnis-liebhaber Just hold on! 2-3 weeks are not much, it will take at least months, but you can learn any language. :) I've studied some languages in my life and the beginning is hard, but it will get better and better, but I guess, you know that.

Nice video, als always. Now, being German and never really having lived anywhere else, I do not feel entitled to answer. I think, however, what may come up in the comments is the question of "general safety" - now, Munich is, undoubtedly, one of the safer major cities in Germany, and definitly one of the cleanest I have ever visited. :) However, I'd say that compared with other countries, general safety nationwide is not as bad as some Germans think it is. (Talking to expat co-students and co-workers was quite enlightening there). This is especially true for the countryside (even if burglary eg has increased over the past decades alongside with transit traffic). Eg, it is said that Mafia leaders frequently hide in the German countryside posing as decent Italian citizens - as no one would ever look for them there. (This is true for my former home town, at least, where such a guy for years was the neighbour and friend of the local chief of police...) But also if you take a look at big cities. There are always areas where one would not like to go alone, but I guess that is true for every city (Edit: almost everywhere in the world). I am a middle-aged (or well, a bit more than that) woman, and still feel safe using public transport during evenings in the larger cities of my area. And it's not Munich, btw. :)))

[@peter_meyer]

Yep, fully agree. After living in a London suburb for almost 2 years i appreciate the allnight public transport in my tow and around. Despite living just 30km out of London city, it was more or less impossible to get out of London late in the evening. So either you had a car or had to leave the city at 7pm latest. Alternatvely pay a taxi cab 60 quid. That was back when the Pound was at 1,60.

Es ist in erster Linie eine Frage der Mentalität und nicht der Ausländerfeindlichkeit. Hinzu kommt, dass Angst ein Instinkt ist, für den sich niemand schämen muss. Der Ausländeranteil in Sachsen beträgt 5,7%. Wer maßt sich an zu entscheiden, ob das niedrig oder hoch ist? Außerdem sind die Menschenrechte einer jeden Bevölkerung eines jeden Landes einzuhalten, was auch beinhaltet, dass die Menschen ihr gewohntes Leben leben können. Ich empfehle ein PoWi- oder Jurastudium und wenn möglich noch ein Psychologiestudium vor weiteren unqualifizierten Kommentaren. Ich habe selbst unzählig viele wissenschaftliche Texte geschrieben und Migrationsgeschichte und erwarte das nicht von anderen, aber so viel Unsinn in so wenigen Sätzen wie das, was du schreibst, ist schon beachtlich.

1) Beraucracy. 2) High taxes + low salaries. 3) Stores closed on holidays/some in the middle of a day. 4) You can't pay with a debit card because they don't really invest in IT sector. 5) Lack of startups, cool companies that really make their way into the global market, like Amazon, Google, etc etc and therefore lack of opportunities. 6) High living costs.

Having lived here for over 20 years I can say Germany is a sinking ship with way too many people jumping aboard. If you've been here for a while and have found your niche, you'll be fine for probably the next 5-10 years - but as a new arrival - good luck to you.

[@peter_meyer]

Without immigration, Germany is a sinking ship, that's true.

[@thana5372]

Why ? You mean employment ?

[@AZ-vv1rf]

@@thana5372 Oh you'll find a job don't worry. But will it pay your ridiculously high rent after 36-42% taxes and leave enough for savings and having a family? Unless you're in the upper 10%, you're probably out of luck for those two. Germany has an incredible shortage of affordable housing - and houses to begin with, with too many hungry mouths to feed, who are contributing very little to the economy, because the influx of low-skilled migrants is uncomparable to that of high-skilled ones. The coming demographic collapse does not make anything better for this one. Oh and did I mention we have the highest energy prices in the whole wide world?
