Nice video, for me as a German it's really important that foreigners, no matter where they're from, feel comfortable here and it's always a pleasure to hear when people are enjoying their time here ! :)

As an introvert dude, life is bloody awesome in Germany, nobody judges you, nobody approaches you, nobody bores you, it is heaven on earth! 🤣

I had an african classmate back in the day in german school, he was a french native speaker and he was able to speak english as well. He struggled with lerning german and couldn't understand everything in german class lesson's. I spoke with him since first day in english and help him to translate the test question's, how to write/pronounce the german word for his answer or i was there for a chat. Now he is a german sport teacher in german grade school. I'm really happy for him, he was able to settle in and find his place in germany.

Learning the language is key. Had similar experiences in France. Learned the language, boom, instantly huge increase in quality of life. The german language is hard, but not learning it and staying for a longer time or even live in Germany will be harder on you, I guarantee you.

The first year in Germany was difficult for me (2011). I didn’t yet speak the language fluently and my paycheck was very low. I went to language courses every evening after work so didn’t have any social life. On the weekend I didn’t have energy or money to leave my studio to do things which was very far from everything. Bureaucracy was also a struggle, as I was not European. Once I learned the language after a year and could make more money, things started to pick up. I loved it. I stayed for 11 years and I completely integrated myself into the society. I felt at home. I felt German. So after 8 years, I applied for a German nationality and got it. I don’t feel like a foreigner anymore. And most people don’t realize I am a foreigner.

As a Ukrainian, I moved to Germany at the age of 13. It was tough for me to socialize since others rejected me because of the language barrier. It's been 5 years since then. I'm about to finish gymnasium and my life has become a little easier. Anyway, my advice to the newcomers would be to start learning the language as soon as they can.

That guy from Afghanistan has the most amazing voice, wow.

That Afghan man gave pure Gigachad vibe.

I moved to Germany a month ago. The difficulty for me is that there is a lot of bureaucracy here. It's also much colder here than in my hometown. I like the fact that the people here are very friendly, and also here I feel safe. I started learning German, a rather difficult language, but without it it is quite difficult here. In general, everything is new and unusual, but so far I like it. Germany received us quite warmly. Thank you

I can write a whole thesis on moving to Germany as a foreigner. I have the same experience with all the people in the video. The Termin culture to absolute everything is ridiculous. I had to get up at 6:30 am everyday for a month straight to get a Termin for visa application. I was constantly on my phone in order to get an apartment that is suitable for student. *The mental struggle and stress for moving to Germany is incredibly high, to a point it is like a test for your determination to move here.* I envy the EU citizen who can just move here in a blink, yet as an Asian, the process is so difficult. Now from time to time I still struggle with this Termin thing. But I can see why lots of people try to come here to build a life in Germany, because it provides stable and safe life.

As a self-employed German I can confirm that our bureaucracy is killing motivation, creativity and courage. So no wonder everyone from abroad struggles with it. 👀

The Brazilian man gave two completely different stories. Initially, he said he came as a child with his family. Then he changed it to say he owned a bar from the age of 14 where he met a German girl who invited him over. It was all a bit bizarre.

I see you've incorporated my suggestion about the countries being on screen! It definitely made it way easier to watch! You're the 🐐, cheers!

Man, I loved your channel. The background music is so cozy, and the atmosphere is so good.

the afghan guy's voice was so nice , also the australian girl was so pretty

As someone who has been considering going to Germany after I graduate from college I find these videos to be super interesting. Please keep them coming!

I read most comments here and most people (foreigners) complained about how hard it is to make friends with Germans. We have two kinds of people: 1) Introvert 2) Extrovert. Those who are introverts will find Germany (and all other similar countries) an easier place to live because they don't depend on people to feel happy. Introverts communicate with people only when they need something. They are happy on their own and this is a great virtue! Those who are extroverts (unfortunately most people are) will find life much harder in countries like Germany and they struggle so hard to find friends. My experience with Germans and some Austrians show that they somehow feel superior and don't show interest in talking to you as a foreigner! This is most evident if you are from Asian countries (I am from Iran). Nationality DOES matter here, you can't disagree! I tried it myself. I spoke with some Germans online without disclosing my nationality. As soon as they knew I'm an Iranian, their behavior changed and it seemed to me that they didn't like to hear anything from my country! Unfortunately, most Europeans (not just Germans) have a false imagination of Asia and most Asian countries due to false news they read or hear in social media. Now, let's get back to business! I was talking about friendship and finding friends in Germany and similar countries! Let me tell you something! If you are a foreigner in Germany and struggle to get close to Germans and make friends with them, you are on the wrong path! Don't get sad or angry if ignored! If you are in a work place or any other social gathering, don't behave as if you will die, if Germans don't show interest in getting close to you! You should in fact do the opposite! Don't feel inferior to them no matter whoever you are! Ignore them for a while and don't show any motivation to make friends with them! Be cold and indifferent! Respect yourself and don't care about how people think about you! BE PROUD of yourself and remain confident and self-dependent. Believe it or not, this works much better than struggling to win their hearts! When they realize the fact that you are not much interested in them, they will tend to get closer to you because generally human-beings tend to know someone who is more mysterious than others! Behave as if you are a German and they are foreigners!

The Scot said, everybody speaks English and the Egyptian said it's very hard to find a person who is willing to speak in English. That tells you a story.

10:02 I'm so surprised that the Australian girl came to Germany at 15 and later says it was "when corona was still quite there", so she's like...17 max? Wow I thought she'd tell stories from 10 years ago :o

As a German I can confirm: I try to be nice and respectful to all new people I meet but becoming friends may take years. But once you befriend a German you will get a friend for life that carries you home when you’re drunk and lies to your wife/husband about where you’ve been 😁

I adore the style of the Brazillian gentleman at 1:26.

When a French person is speaking English it is always more entertaining ^^

Nice video bro. So happy to hear openiens of different people's from different countries. I'm also planning to migrate to Germany started learning German. Plz keep doing more and more videos like this. Lot's of ❤ from India.

I am from Romania and I live in Germany for 12 years already. I have studied and I work here. In a strange way, my experience here is that it is easier to make German friends if you speak English and hang out together in groups with other internationals, but more convenient of course to find a good job if you speak good German. My German level is C2 and even now I have sometimes the impression that people are not so keen to ask personal questions or maintain a relation with someone with an accent and who even now doesn't know all the expressions and words Germans use. These persons are definitely not racist, quite the contrary in most of the situations. They just wouldn't seem to care too much about you as an individual in the first minutes of a conversation. I don't want to generalize, but I did have this impression quite often and it used to affect me quite strongly in the first 7-8 years here. I was also tempted to think that it has also to do with my origin and I still don't exclude this. Middle-class Germans, so most of the population, seem to have high expectations in communication and if you speak German, you have to have a high level in the language and knowledge of specific German conversation topics. A high level of the language is hard though to attain, because most of the foreigners don't grow up with German in school or on TV in their countries of origin, as it is often the case with English, French or Spanish. I thought at first that this weariness to talk to strangers was because of my East European accent, but I talked also with Italian, Spanish or American people about this, and many of them seem to share the opinion. Many Germans are highly educated, or polite and formal, and maybe if your German is not very good, they don't have the patience or the confidence to switch to English with you in order to make communication easier. I might be wrong about this observation.

The video is as beautiful as you. My first thought was: It depends where you are from. Then you just asked people from almost everywhere. Lovely!

Such a nice vid. Keep up the great work. Hello from NW Louisiana USA. I really enjoyed my several trips to Europe over the years especially my time in Germany.

so wait, the Brazilian guy was at a bar, a german girl said she liked him, and then he uprooted his entire life and moved to Germany? That's a bold move. I assume there is more to that story than that one sentence though

I stumbled across your channel through recommendation, and I just wanted to say that I want to go to München again. Been there once because I have a family member there. Who always wants to show me/us everything in excitement, but she has good intentions so it's okay. (I'm more of a explore on my own person)

"Cold" is what you hear quite often in this context. But I think it's not the right word. People are not touchy-touchy here and they don't do much quick smalltalk with everybody. But they are warm "on the inside". They are reliable and loyal and honest. If you have a friend here, you might have a friend forever. A folk that has a word like Weltschmerz can't be cold. 💚😁

It seems Germany has a lot of benefits for artists, they really learned their lesson from last time they've taken an aspiring artist for granted

As a Brazilian who just moved to Germany (less than one month), I can say so far my experience is not bad. Also, I guess learning the language is essential to move to any country, not only Germany.

I think that guy said he was from Pakistan, but in the video its labelled Afghanistan.

again, what a deepfully present and wonderful person you are. i watched videos from all over the world since years, but never saw someone handshaking. this is so gratefully appreciated.

When i moved to Stuttgart, i had somehow difficult to integrated.. then someday i visited cologne for few days. I was like OMG they are more friendly than where I am from (south east Asian). I feel like home and accepted. After very nice experience, I found a way how to interact/integrate with the German tho isn't always smooth, but thanks to cologne people, they helped me to overcome my situation.

That Australian girl had stunningly beautiful eyes, it was quite hard to focus on anything else when she was on screen.

Loved it, plz keep one recording different content on Germany 🇩🇪

I love this channel and I like that opinions do differ so much, I moved in Nuremberg 5 months ago, currently learning A 2.2 but I take this whole integration in Germany as a challenge and I am excited to see what's to come

As an Irishman, I lived in East Hessen for many years. It's unfortunate to say but in all my time there I struggled to make any friends. I was told previously that it's very rural/country and Germans in these small towns and villages tend to keep to themselves. Coming from Ireland that is such an open/friendly nation, it was hard for me to experience how cold the people are. The 1 or 2 contacts I did make told me if I head to west Hessen or towards big city the people are more open. All I wanted was some friends

2:20 Heyyyy, I met him two weeks ago at Rote Sonne! But he's right, Munich's techno scene is nice

I know this video is about three months old, and I’m not even a minute into the video, but I find it funny that you used “America” as the intro music

I suspect that language barrier could make a very significant difference to a person's experience of a country. If someone speaks the language well, they will have more opportunities and enjoy their time more, whereas if you struggle to learn German you are always going to feel like an outsider.

I find it funny how many people move here while I can't wait to move outside of Germany soon

Moved here when I was 10. Must say the people here are very welcoming

thanks for the interview, interesting

Great video. Hope to run into you one day when you have questions for the Germans.

Would love to hear more from the australian girl on her story. Quite unusual to come to a foreign country being 15. Would be interesting.

The vibe of this video is so warm, keep going , bro :)

15 reasons why I would quit Germany after living there for over 30 years. It was once beautiful, disciplined and filled with hard working people who rebuilt it after being destroyed. 1) It is today a land where the same hard working people have to dig in trash bins for empty bottles to make ends meet.2) The transport system is going to the dogs. Most trains almost 90 percent arrive late at their destinations.3) It has one of the most ridiculous bureaucracy that I have ever come across. 4)As a coloured foreigner you will always come across racists moving around. 5) Homeless-I suggest go in the Underground stations and the main railway stations in the big cities to see it. 6) Central Railway stations are full of drug peddlers and drunkards 7) Free education- That is because Germany is facing an acute shortage of skilled workers. The costs will be recovered from them after they start working as they will have to pay high taxes and fill the coffers of the State social system which is going bankkrupt. 8) Rich Culture. I do not know what the rich culture is all about. It is the same in most european countries 9) Equal pay and opportunities. Never heard of that. Pay is mostly secretive. Only the Employer and the employee knows about it. Most foreigners will be underpaid as they are usually not aware of what local employees are paid. They will always be placed in the lower pay scale groups. Most German bosses will consider Germans to be more skilled than foreigners when it comes to pay raises.10) There is a form of closet racism and discrimination prevailing in Germany.11) The German Labour offices are terrible and even the germans find them so. They will take your contributions to the job insurance with wide open hands but when it comes to paying back they will try to make it as hard as possible to pay you. 12)Germans know how to make the best use of their workplace. Most will check in at work, and then go around for 10 minutes then have a breakfast and coffee at their desk, take the most time in the toilets to save water, soap etc at home and then check out punctually after 8 hours (13) What you pay as social contributions into the system are meant for the retired generation. The children of today will pay for the older generation and with its demographics the German social system is on the verge of a crash and so the need for accepting any tom , dick or Harry. Therefore Germany is not a place for hard working skilled workers as they will only be paying for all the lazy ones.(14) THE TAX SYSTEM WILL ENSURE THAT YOU ALMOST GO BANKKRUPT. Any savings will be taxed and not only that they will run after you even for what you have in your home office. (15) Germany is the only place alongwith Austria in the world where the state taxes you for following a Religion. About 8 to 9 percent of your income tax. And all this where the Religion will be corrupted by leaders with their Agenda of LGBT Marriages. The Germans want to change religious Beliefs to suit their own Beliefs. So you pay to live, pay for the rain water, pay to worship, pay to believe, pay for almost everything in the form of taxes. And if you owe something to the State when you die they may even pull you out of your graves.. . .

The answer I got was you are not a foreigner you are English. Fourty seven years later I'm still here, and I have a German passport.

Well, Munich is a great city and a big city! so its not really representative of the whole country. Am curious what foreigners in Rostock or Madgdeburg or Halle or Braunschweig would say! ;)

I was an Army wife,and loved it from my first day

So that's me moving to Germany to live, i hope life is as good as this video.

i hope my dream comes true and i will be one of those ppl talking about how i settled in germany 🥺

Wow, I was surprised when he said a job is easier to get than an apartment... I have the opposite experience. My 1st week here, I was in Heidelberg, I was totally new and speak very few German, actually even now, the elderly are more helpful and friendly. In the train, a man helped me, seeing I was lost... I wish I can live here longer.

Lol I know that feeling of meeting a brit (or at least a native speaker, an Ami gets most of the points XD), it doesn't happen very often but when it does it's that strange feeling of "this person can *properly* understand me" or something like that, even if you haven't the foggiest who they are or what they are like as a person

Fun fact, if you suck at speaking the local language of the country you imigrated to, bureaucracy will always be a pain. Nothing to do with Germany lol. Not too many ppl seem to be fully aware of this but paper work in e.g. English speaking countries is way crazier than in German speaking Europe. Good luck trying to get a permanent work visa for post Brexit UK, Australia, or much worse....the US !! Not gonna happen.....unless you're an academic genius in the medical field or a multi-million dollar business investor. In fact, It would be a great experiment to have some of these guys attempt to get employment or get into uni in these mentioned countries to get them back down to earth. Some commentators seem to criticize the Brazilan guy for his English which is ironic because that fella potentially adds the greatest value to the Germany economy of them all...I don't know about his fashion choices but he speaks fluent German, Portuguese and surely knows Germany inside out!! So big up Germany for welcoming literally EVERYBODY

A nice and interesting video. Have to agree, though, that Munich is somewhat special - comparatively well off, and people there, from what I know, in general, are very open towards international guests. (When I was still working in Uni, I had to deal with Munich authorities with respect to some foreign patients participating in one of our research projects and were supposed to get further treatment of their condition in Munich, and these were amazingly open, friendly folks. Only best memories. :) ) This might vary someplace else, and especially if there are not so many academics involved. Overall, however, I really like the positive vibes of your videos and how you just let people talk w/o presuming anything and make them comfortable talking to you!

Damn kid, loving your fashion style! Hearing you saying wicked in the New England way swaled the deal. I subbed. As for living as an auslander in Germany... its got its up and downs. Integration kurse teaches Hochdeutsch. We're in Bavaria... and in my part (Oberfelz) everyone speaks Oberfetzer or Frankisch. Local dialect is easier on my tongue to pronounce , but its still a beast of a language 🤣 id swear i was being mistreated at work , but its just how Bavarians are and talk to each other .... would be a lawsuit in America! But ive sucked it up and am a top worker at my landscaping job! Coworkers tell me to slow down so we can get paid for the quoted time, but i usually work with the bosses wife and she does the numbers... alles Zuck zuck! Schnell ned langsum. Its made me and my person garden better! Ive gotten to a point I'll take a lebarkäse over a big mac without question.

What do people do for jobs if they dont know german though? Because i have been looking to moving abroad but the only job that is suggested when i look is english teacher.

I dont think you can compare munich to the rest of germany. Its a very different Country. Good areas and bad areas,

Love the German language and culture. It's a dream of mine to eventually be able to visit.

Wooo it is cute the Brazilian man trying to say your history 🎉❤

Congratulations for 10.000 subs ❤🎉 hope you get 100.000 👀 you are the best KZfaqr for me I see that you make an effort in every video keep going that good work 😊

Nobody has a problem with foreigners. BUT People get mad when they take advantage of us. For example in 2014/15 there came a lot of refugees from Arabian country’s and the majority of them are still living from welfare. That is crazy. Unemployment rate in Germany is around 4-5%. People from Arabian country, especially Syria have an unemployment rate of over 65%, after 8-9 years. Around 550.000 unemployed Syrian…

Munich is completely diffrent story. Very international city. Go to east Germany and do interview there....

Coming from Egypt, you could also apply for a visa 2 months earlier, instead of realizing in the process and arriving late. ;-)

Fun fact: When the national anthems came up back then, the hymn in your Video ("Heil Kaiser dir ") was ours also because the british King/emperor(of India) an the german emperor and the russian Zar were cousins. You even find old photos were the russian zar and the british monarch look like twins 😂

As a foreigner, in Germany is amazing. Kind and nice :) Schön 🎉🫠

Literally just moved to Germany from England on my own, I’m 21 I know 0 German and the language barrier is a bit of a problem, time to learn ASAP😂

I'm coming to Germany in November. Any advices!!! Probably going to stay about a week.

gorgeous video keep going ❤❤

It's more like how is living in Munich/Bavaria and not in Germany. There is a difference if you live in Bavaria or another part of Germany and it's a difference living in a University town or a small rural area. I lived a short time in the UK and longer in the USA and it was different for me living in Marlborough and being in Swindon or in London. Same in the USA. I worked in Dallas, but lived in Hunt County and I used the time to drive and fly around in the US. The people were very different in the different places. Even between Greenville and Dallas you could see a difference in behavior towards foreigners and those two cities are at max 50 miles (80km) apart.

I've been learning German language since highschool, it really interested me and out of every language for me it is the one that comes easiest! I would love to visit for 6 months or more and learn more of the language, see how it is there 😊❤

Do you mind me asking. Where did you get the gloves? Ther are realyy nice

American and I want to quit my job and spend as much time as I can in Germany and see some castles I have always been fascinated by it and it’s my goal to do that in 2024

Great interviews, I spent a few months in Munich many years ago for some training, great city , communication and interaction with people was a bit difficult even though I spoke ok German (or I thought; training was in German... ), but after switching to English made things easier despite my very bad English back then. I guess it made me a tourist not a "fremde" if you know what I mean. Things seem to have changed since though. Cheers.

As a Chinese person I was hoping for the Chinese part because I might want to go to Germany in my future, however it's sad that I didn't see the Chinese couple in the whole video at all :(.

Living in Germany as a Spaniard 🇪🇦 was the most satisfying thing in my lifetime. When I told that I was from Spain people directly smiled to me greatfully. People loves Spain in Germany 🇪🇦🤝🏻🇩🇪❤️

One guy clearly said he's from Pakistan but you labelled it Afghanistan in text later for all the shots 🤔 did I hear it wrong or do foreigners think they're the same country?

The tall guy with beige coat said "Pakistan" in his intro, not Afghanistan?

Nice video bro!

I liked the video! Seems nice to live in germany but i have 2 questions: 1.-Are there not any other latin american people in germany? 2.-You are greeting an asian couple i guess, but they are not showed in the interview. Why? Saludos a todos!

I love it when I see videos of Munich and I can point at the screen and say "hey I've been to that spot!" Visiting Germany was an eye opening experience and I need to do it again. Best and easiest decision I've made in my life, all of Bavaria is incredible.

I thought the guy who is tagged as from Afghanistan said in video he's from Pakistan

Ive been here in Munich for one year and people are so distant.

I mainly visit Germany nowadays for the bread, desserts, and mountain climbing.

the english girl appreciated that she can study in germany in english ... can anybody imagine that in Oxford you can study in german ??? no way , right ??

If the people are welcoming it makes all the difference. One has a decent chance of making a good life for themselves if the people around them provide a hospitable environment.

Interesting video for me as a German living in America. At least everybody in this video was able to communicate in English.

Hey I need an advice. I want to move to Germany to finish my bechlors and after masters, I am from Croatia so I have EU citizdnship, my language as at B1 level at Goethe institute but I didn't have any opportunity to real speak with native people. I am planning to move when my lavel of German is at least B2 and to continue learning when I come, but I will study on English (my English is quite good and soon I will have a TOEFL test for C1). The thing is I don't have any money, so I would either need to work and study paralel and absolutely finance myself, or to work some period and than save enough money for period of studying. I know that I don't need to pay for my studies except semester fee which is less than 300€, but I wonder will I be able to finish university in Germany (on English) and absolutely financially support myself? If you have any tips or experience, please help😊😅

Why is the video playing the UK national anthem?

Isn't Munich so expensive ? I'm wonder how it has a lot of foreigners

Did the tall, dark guy at 0:06 say he was from "Afghanistan"? (because I think I clearly heard him say "Pakistan").

bureaucracy is tough at time - they even now allow some aspects online but then have to submit wet-ink signed documents by post, and attend appointments etc. It can be stressful trying to manage family paperwork, school registrations, foreigners' officer, kindergeld, familiengeld, etc etc. However compared to the UK, Munich at least is very clean, safe, civic sense, less cinemas and indoor social activities for families though, anywhere apart from the centre is dead after 8pm. The younger generations speak English very well, though as an ethnic minority who is second gen British, the locals can be overly surprised by my and family's grasp of English - so we do get asked "where are you from?!" a lot!

I'm sorry but this has to be annoying to hear English speakers like the Australian girl be all "chill" about not learning/understanding German while non-native-speakers can't afford that privilege.

Am a black guy who grew up in London,am in Germany for the first time and honestly am taken aback at just how normal, friendly and unnasuming the germans are compared with the British who claim they are the most tolerant western country,Germany is waaaaay more friendly,peacefull and enjoyable to be in.

I dont get the part when everybody says the Germans are cold and the people in their Homecounrty are more friendly and open. Im living in Würzburg and I dont have that Impression at all. When I was in France for Holiday it was also hard for me to connect to people, the people I connected with were mostly Dutch or German. I think the saying xxx are cold could be said about every counrty you come in and dont speak the language. Of course it´ll be harder to find people or to be open when you dont speak the language.

I love the Indian guy with the beer bottle in his hand on the street some early winter afternoon. Jep, he became German!

It depends heavily on the city you are living in. Berlin is not Germany; it is a completely different thing, comparable only with maybe Cologne. And it also depends on your colour of skin. For most Germans "Foreigner" means "Someone who looks different." If you from Sweden or Denmark it can be a completely other experience as if you are from Afghanistan or India.

6:42 "MIT DEM FAHRRAD NICH IN´ ERSTEN WAGEN!!!!!"
