He is absolutely right about the German language skills. This is not negotiable in Germany. You absolutely cannot expect to get ahead without a good knowledge, both active and passive, of the language no matter how highly qualified you are. This includes people with German PhDs. Living in Germany without any command of the language is like trying to swim without arms or legs. It just doesn't work.

I'd like to open a parenthesis here. Even though I passed the C1 exam, I still feel like a caveman when I speak German. So I just speak English in the classes and all my professors are okay with this ( I study Data Science). And they allow me to write the exams in English since they see my effort. I also know that in CS faculty in KIT, students are also allowed to write their exams in English. So if you are still not comfortable with your German, just ask your professors if you can write the exam in English.

YOU ANSWER every single question i had about that thanks a lot

[jnzseries]

Actually The language requirement is usually C1 for University programs

You just gave the best honest advice ever I couldn't agree more. Your life will be no less than hell if you don't know german. Invest your precious time in learning German trust me it so rewarding 🌸

this channel is great for sending it to my japanese friends who are going or planing on doing an exchange year in germany. I myself am an german exchange student in japan right now, I feel like some japanese I met are already very good in german, especially for the short time they studying it. the pronunciation is also above average, it is strange to me but somehow they have sometimes an easier time than pronuncing english words even.

A good video as always Max and I've used your approach for another country similar to Germany - Sweden. This should be clearly explained by university admissions team when it comes to employment. I've applied to a Swedish public university with English and Swedish taught courses, Although my master's interaction design course is in English for their free standing courses I took Swedish A1 level instead of Presentation English & Academic Critical Reading since I already have an IELTS Academic score of 6.5 and a GRE General score of 290 and they indicate I have basic grasp of Academic English & Critical Thinking.

Hi Max, when are you planning to make German language course?
I’m 9th grade(10th from September) and I plan to study in Germany. I think It would be very good If you had A1-A2 courses at least.
Thank you Max, you encourage a lot of people all around the world👍

Could you make a video on master degree as opposed to bachelors. The pros and cons of pursuing further studies in German and suff on that matter.

[Rise_n_Radiate]

Could you please create a video on "How to Analyse Module Handbook" & "How to do Curriculum Analysis"?

[Drago]

I believe the option of learning German while studying your degree in English is optimal. After all, we've been learning and interacting with english all our lives so it's better to spend time learning the material as opposed to understanding German in it.

Could you please create a video on freelancing as a student in Germany?

Wenn ich mich noch an den ersten Tag erinnere, wer hätte geglaubt, dass ich deutsch lernen werde. Am Anfang dachte ich, ich sollte nur auf Englisch studieren, danach sagte meine große Schwester mir, ich solle Deutsch lernen, wenn ich nicht an einer englischen Universität angenommen werde, könnte ich auf deutsch studieren. Als ich begann, deutsch zu erlernen, war es sehr sehr schwer, meine Noten im A1 Niveau waren schlecht. Manchmal fragte ich mich, ob ich mit meinem Deutschlernen aufhören sollte, dann fiel mir ein, wenn ich jetzt aufhöre, werde ich den Eindruck haben, dass ich keine genüge Anstrengungen dafür gemacht habe. Jetzt beende ich schon mit dem C1.1 Niveau . " Niemals ... Asta ( von Black Clover ) . Man kann schneller deutsch lernen als du denkst Max . Aber wir lernen nicht in der gleichen Geschwindigkeit, z.b ich habe 8≈9 Monaten genommen, um auf von A1 bis C1.1 Niveau einzugehen. Die Leute sagen, es sei unrealistisch, aber ihrer Meinung nach kommt nicht infrage.

[billryanmewouoyepndjouo]

Bro don't forget about elective modules even for English language taught programs some of them are bilingual i.e English and German

[mtardieh]

I always look forward to your videos. They’re so insightful.

This was an interesting perspective. I'm German, but I will be studying Sustainable Agriculture at HSRW in Germany, which will be in English. I quit my first degree program Agrarbiologie in March this year, because I hated the teaching style and even though German is one of my mother tongues, I find studying in English to be easier and frankly just a lot more fun. You have better access to things like research papers, as most of them are, in fact, written in English. I also don't really plan to live here my whole life, even though I do really like Germany.

However, I do agree that living in Germany, it would be stupid not to speak at least some level of German. You will be having a hard time finding even a part-time job, let alone an actual full-time job. And don't even get me started on internships.

If you do decide to come here as an international student to study in English, I strongly encourage you to not only hang out with fellow internationals. Try intermingling with Germans and force yourself to speak German with them. Consume content in German, even if it is the German dub of some anime, show, or movie. Immersion is the best way to pick up a language.

I hope a lot more prospective students get to see this video! It seems to be obvious but there's a lot of false information and expectations out there.
