This is a wonderfully simple explanation of a very complicated process. Thank you for making this!

[Amiadler]

Thank you for the breakdown! I moved to Germany under family reunification and got my Aufenhaltstitle about a year ago. I'm still learning about the different levels of Government and their processes. You did a great job making this understandable.

[mathnerd]

Fantastic!

Could you also do one on how the Bundestag, Bundesrat, and other officials are chosen? And if the Bundesrat are chosen by state-level officials, could you also include how those officials are chosen?

Jen & Ivonne excellent video, full of information. You did an excellent research and good visual explanation about each topic. I will be waitimg for the video when the law will pass the step 7.

I hope I'm able to apply for citizenship not only without giving up my Canadian citizenship, but also without too much fuss about my birth certificate causing problems...

[pourdamghani]

Great informative video, thank you both.

[carlesinseattle]

Oh dear Ladies, Excellent presentation. I will repeat listening until I can understand this very complicated subject. Thank you for this resource 😅

[shehufatihuabba]

By the way congratulation on the 50k subscribers. i wish it had been the year prior. Keep up the good work.

[averyo]

Thank you for this! I've been trying to follow the new proposed law but without knowing what the steps are in Germany it's been sometimes difficult to follow.

This makes the process much easier to understand!

If anything I didnt only learn about the bureaucracy into passing new laws but just how many confusing terminologies exist for the different government bodies that even the progenitor of the smoothlers have trouble keeping track of 😂

Jokes aside, these videos are highly appreciated as i slowly transition from student to working professional to eventually a citizen here hopefully someday. And you guys nailed it in explanation it in such a way that almost anyone can follow along and understand.

My prediction is this video will probably gain a lot of traction especially amongst those keen on understanding more about the new laws coming into effect.

Looking forward to that video too ❤

Hi, what a nice surprise. Met you in the kickboxing class some months ago, so sad you didn't continue. Best wishes!

[ramzi]

Hey guys, love your videos! Would you please create a video about volunteering in Germany, can someone with a blue card volunteer or do they need some special Erlaubnis, what's the Ehrenamtspauschale and so on. I think many would be interested in it. Thanks!

Love the amendment of your video connection 😂, Greetings from the ICE heading to Düsseldorf.

[gerryj]

Can you make a video explaining different voting ways (especially during the Bundestag election) and the step-by-step process? I'm becoming a citizen soon and would love to get ready for the next election.

[berlinorama]

Thanks for this video. I am very curious to see how this plays out in practice. Here in Berlin they stopped accepting and processing any applications for citizenship months ago because they are planning a central office for naturalization, instead of the local (district) ones that existed up to now. Hence many people have been waiting more than two years for a decision on their applications (this varies from district to district too). Given the slowness of the Berlin bureaucracy and the hiring freeze that has been in effect, I am not optimistic about how they will handle the onslaught of applications for people who want to retain their other citizenship.

[deliciouskitchen]

Pls make a German cities comparison vdo in terms of living standards, weather, lifestyle etc etc.pls❤

[freddyjafar]

awesome video. would appreciate another similar one on how to shift from a student to a worker to hopefull, a german citizen. thx

[vbsecerov]

Does it need to appear now on daily agenda in Bundesrat to say no to Veto, I understood they don’t need to vote it there again. As Bundesrat meets once a month, I’m interested in information if it needs to be on daily agenda?

[romb-h]

i have an exam on staatskunde on monday and our teacher was absolutely terrible, so thank you so much for this 😂
