Recently I completed 3 years in Germany 😃 and I felt that this is a great opportunity to share my experiences with all the future aspirants. Germany is a great prospect for newcomers, but there are certain things you should know before coming here. This video is a first-hand experience sharing. I hope you get an idea and let me know if you have further questions and doubts.

The main thing people must remember is that you go to a new country firstly is for a better life. So never go with the mindset that the country has to adapt to you but that you have to adapt to that country. Respect for the country & its people is THE most important factor. I found the German people are extremely helpful & but it works both ways because you need to assimilate & be respectful.

I’m German, moved to the US 20 years ago. I don’t know why I found your channel but I love how calmly and honestly you describe your experiences. I went to India once, and when I returned, I missed all the noise and chaos! The US and especially Germany seemed so quiet and boring in comparison :-) Wish you the best, keep making videos, super interesting.

Wonderful Video, a great insight into how Germany is perceived by people with an outside view. Glad you like it here ! Keep it up :)

I am a native German and work for an international company based in the US. So fluent English is required for any higher positions. While on the clock, you'll be fine with English as long as you have a purely technical role. But when you want to sign up for a job that requires you to lead locals (incl. other migrants), then fluent German really becomes crucial. We've hired a lot of graduates from India and Pakistan recently, that did their degrees in Germany. But too many of them did not pass their probation period... Pretty easy: If you want to lead people, you need to feel comfortable interacting with them first.

Great to see you here Kaustav. You have done very well. It is not easy to find your way in a very different culture. Note that the cultural differences within Europe are very big. In Italy or Spain, for example, they don't mind being a few minutes late. Here in Switzerland, where I live, when I go to a client, I take plenty of time. For example, I am half an hour early, I have a cup of coffee somewhere near the client's office and I get there a few minutes before the official time. Being punctual in an easy way so to speak. In the Netherlands, where I also lived, the agenda is even more important and people, even privately, book appointments weeks in advance. That's something new, it wasn't like that a few decades ago. France, Spain, Italy and Greece are more convivial and the weather is also much better. But they generally don't speak English very well. Take care, and I hope you will have a good time in Germany. A tip for a very good translator is deepl.com, a German company. It also helps you read and write very good texts, it is much better than Google, which often misinterprets sentences. It will help you in Germany.

Welcome, Kaustav! I've been three times to India, twice for vacations, and a third time professionally to Chenai, and I was always carried away by the cultural differences. I had been around the world a lot before this, but landing the first time in Delhi immediately captured me.

From your video, I take it that you are having a hard time gaining a foot in the language. As a young man, when trying to make me more familiar with English, I found a way, to make this more fun: usually, you learn better, if you have fun with it: Graphic novels & comic books. The trick is, that you usually don't need to have a translator handy, when reading them, because you can 95 % of the time guess the meaning of unknown words from the pictures and the context.

When moving to Munich, availability of Indian food will be much less of an issue. There should be a number of Indian restaurants around, and even small, private grocery shops offering products from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

I hope, you aren't that much discouraged by the inpolite AfD-trolls, that already seem to have found your video, judging from some of the comments below. I've noticed, that they go after the language, but this is utter nonsense: There is a whole host of US and British expats like NALF, Type Ashton, etc. doing exactly the same.

A very authentic video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Ich möchte kurz ein Wort zum Thema Sprache verlieren. Ich bin jetzt über 30 Jahre alt mittlerweile und habe die gesamte Zeit in Deutschland gelebt. Ich habe Abitur gemacht und Jura studiert (weshalb man meinen sollte ich könnte gut reden). Und auch nach 30 Jahren kann ich nicht behaupten, Deutsch perfekt zu sprechen. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, wie es ist aus einem anderen Land ohne Vorkenntnis (auch in Sachen Schrift) zu kommen und zu versuchen die Sprache zu lernen. Großen Respekt an alle, die das durchziehen. Und niemand, der nicht noch ganz dicht ist, wird erwarten, dass die Sprache nach 3 Jahren gut beherrscht wird.

Jedenfalls ein sehr authentisches und liebevolles Video, ich wünsche nur das Beste!

[haggihug]

Danke für dieses Video! Ich finde es sehr anschaulich und denke, es kann vielen Menschen helfen, die nach Deutschland kommen möchten. Die Idee von Etwas ist oft ganz anders als es dann in Wirklichkeit ist. Man muss sich auch in die Schwierigkeiten, die einem begegnen werden, hinein denken. Ich hoffe, du machst noch mehr Videos um aus deinen Anfängen und deiner Sicht zu berichten. 🙏 🖖

[dfoer]

Amazing video. It's good to hear your perspective. Glad to have you here! :-)

[saibalchakravorty]

Excellently presented, reminds me my stay there about 50 yes back. Wunderbar. Alles gute

[rohitagarwal]

Hey kaustav! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Looking forward for more videos!

[AbdulSamadSamo]

Good video where you have covered many areas of living in Germany during your three years' stay there. I have shared your this video with my son, who too, have arrived at Germany on 20th May, 2024 for his Bachelor's program. Abdul Samad Samo, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

Our language is what unites us and what we are proud of. It's no coincidence our country is called Germany. You don't have to be perfect. Just try your best and it will open doors. 😊 There's lots of local dialects but everyone can speak German, too.

[pavanreddy]
