German Talk

[xTrekStorex]

I think I'd have to pass some German test before I get accepted into the uni , hence I might be learning first. I'm not too sure about the automotive industries but I do have some interest in it

well what subject do you want to study? I personally think being good at german isnt that important since most technical subjects tend to go with equations all the time anyways and often also use english phrasing. There also are many classes for foreign students at many universities.

For example my computer science studies were mostly math and Java-code so all I read was numbers and english text. In the end I failed due to math, so don't focus too much on the language itself since it is not the most important for this kind of subject.

The rest will come by itself eventually when living here.

Hallo <- that's like the only German I know ..

Excuse me for using English here but I do not want to create another thread and here goes my question :

I'm quite interested to study in Germany but I would like to know

i)if any Germans here would actually recommend studying/living in Germany

ii)roughly how much does a student need in order to live there ? ( for expensive places and less expensive places )

iii)how hard is it to learn German ? Is it possible to be decent in German in a year ? ( attending classes of course )

Hi,

I personaly would recommend to study in Germany if you want to study something technical, like engineering or programming. Most of the uni's have a high standard in their classes and you will learn a lot.

I would say, you need at least 500-600€ per month in a not too expensive place. A dorm room costs like 250-300€ per month maybe more if it's in a big city. These are the costs for a dorm room were I live.

A big plus is, there are no real study fees. It's like 250€ per half year at the TH cologne. And you even get a train/bus ticket included. So you are mobile in the city.

I can't tell you how hard it is to learn German as non native speaker. But I can tell you, even if you come here with like no German skills at all you will be fine. Most Germans understand English quiet good and can speak it, so normal life will be no problem. Like shopping or something. But your courses will most likely be in German. Some are maybe in English, but not that much.

That's damn cheap, a room over here will easy cost you between 350€-400€ (water-, heating-costs included) + internet/phone (30€-50€) + energy-costs (20€-35€) and the costs for studying every half year (100€-300€) + food (80€)

 

 

My costs for a whole year of studying were around 6500€ (not the cheapest place to study nor the most expensive).

Not too sure yet as I still have a year to think about it , but it could be actuarial science , economics or engineering

Hi,

Thanks , I was thinking less than 700 euros a month should be alright considering that the universities fees are free

1.) There are few Countrys where you can live as good as here.

2.) Depends on what you are used to.

3.) German is very difficult. It´s an extreme accurate Language with many Rules. One Year is not enough.

The costs I mentioned are for Paderborn/Bielefeld/Detmold etc.

Berlin would be a little bit more for a room, but not that much (400€-450€).

 

EDIT: Also try to use Multiquote

Bavaria is usually more expensive especially munich. I study at Regensburg (much smaller, still cool city though and has a camps uni) and i get 730€ a month, all of which i need. That being said, i don't really watch my cashflow because i don't have to, i can ask my parents for money if i'm low.

 

Living in germany is generally nice i think. people are mostly friendly and there are very little people who don't speak at least a little bit of english, most speak it quite well. I would however not recommend living in eastern germany (Sachsen, or generally the former DDR "Deutsche Demokratische Republik") since it's still financially and socially far behind the rest of germany (at least imo). *please don't hurt me if anybody here is from E.G.*

 

Learning german.... some think it's managable, some thing its horrible. Its easier the other way round; learning english as a german, that's for sure. You can also look up if some of your lectures are offered in english, at least some of mine are. (chemistry).

Ich spreche vom Studentenwohnheim vom Kölner Studentenwerk die sind sehr günstig. Und man muss sich um nichts kümmern, mit Wasser, Strom, Internet oder so.

es gibt immer ausnahmen aber eben auch tendenzen. Ich hab vor allem erfahrungen mit Chemnitz

Er hat halt recht.

Das ist cool, sowas gibt's hier im Raum leider nicht und genau deshalb muss man auch so viel für ne Bude etc. hinlegen...

[Praesi]

Jaja, immer diese zurückgebliebenen Ossis

Wat? Ich hab in PB im Studiheim gewohnt wobei.. du musst ja nach Lemgo.. wäre sinnlos in PB 2 "Wohungen" zu haben

[chilicheeseburger]

Ich wollt grad irgendwas anderes posten stattdessen lach ich mich jetz mal kaputt

[KamiKatze]

Jaja, immer diese zurückgebliebenen Ossis

 

Lass mich raten...

 

Ich hab das Gefühl, dass ich mich garnicht erst versuchen sollte zu rechtfertigen...

 

Ich habs eigentlich garnicht so böse gemeint, aber das ist irgendwie anders raus gekommen auf englisch.

[virtualTune]

Also ich weiß ja nicht wie du " socially far behind the rest of germany" deutest... [emoji38]

wie waers mit Nazis? die population bei euch ist doch deutlich hoeher als sonstwo in Deutschland ^^

Damit will ich im prinzip nur auf die erhöhte konzentration von linkem und vor allem rechten Gesocks bei euch hinaus.

und deswegen lässt man die finger von Enermax Apollish lüftern.

[KamiKatze]

Was macht der Hubschrauber da unter meinem Tisch?!

 

Die Lautstärke bei 12V ist das eine aber die startspannung von 5,5V ist erbärmlich!

[KamiKatze]

Was ist denn eine normale Startspannung, und wieso sind 5,5V so schlecht?

 

Naja 5V sollten schon spätestens die startspannung sein, gute lüfter starten spätestens ab 4V. 5V ist deswegen so wichtig weil das bereits die niedrigeste spannung von Lüftersteckern in motherboards und lüftersteurungen ist...

 

5,5V sind nicht brutal schlecht, hatte aber auch mal die 3-pin versionen von den apollish da, die haben bei 7 V gestartet.

Noctua Industrial läuft schon mit 3V
