Student Life: How much German do I need in Germany?

[Ifrahalam]

Hello Max!

I am a 2nd yr Engg. student in India in Electronics and Commn. My problem is that becoz of some reason I don't want to complete my remaing 2 yrs in India and want to finish them in Germany (was planning to do do my master's there anyway).So, could you tell me the procedure for getting admitted now in some reputed German University without having to start all over again i.e. from 1st yr itself. I am going to learn German here for the same.

Hoping for a prompt reply

Regards,

Ifrah Alam

@Youmix93 Come to Getmany. You will find out how little you know :)

[ridgeraiser]

hey many other people live here for live and speak no german^^

[bueschu]

@ridgeraiser Entsperr mich, oder deine Kommentare sind weg.

[Mowglibri]

Cuuuutiepie! :D

[Kooshkff]

@xorganizationxvx No. No you didnt. Stop trolling.

[welskoeder]

Also wirklich Max, mit vollem Mund spricht man doch nicht.

[Searchforalaugh]

WTF ?! If you go to the bakery you mostly can try to speak english. I think if you keep the sentences simple most germans will understand because everyone here learns english but not spanish!

[Hiirntot91]

"Wieviel" ist falsch ;)

[g4ngb4ng4]

Herzlich Willkommen in Deutschland: Wo wir den Ausländern 2,80 EUR für 'ne Brezel abnehmen :)

[9CRoC4]

3:25...wie viel sie zahlen musste wusste sie

[AnyaKaulitzZ]

Ich will das machen... danke für dieses Video :)

[shiloh1213]

@BachAviaN well wat about in the univeristy?

[anjaANJAbee]

Hi! Thank you for your video it was very helpful, I'm an international student from the Philippines planning to study there in Germany I'm reallllllyy really scared because I only know like the basic German and I fear I won't be able to cope up well with the others T.T it's really a major concern for me T.T

[shiloh1213]

i want to know if 3 years of learning german at school would help me in germany?

[BachAviaN]

@shiloh1213 of course... beside that... german´s can speak english too^^

[germankraut1993]

ich hab angst vor leuten die perfekt hochdeutsch reden

[HyeElliott]

Max hat so eine angenehme Stimme

[1FerOne]

2.80€ für eine brezel lol die wurde abgezockt weil die kein deutsch kann

[XxShadowvalkyriexX]

.........He's so cute, hopefully once I get my German down-packed, I will marry someone as cute as he was... *siiiigh* its going to take forever,

[stan04]

I'm Australian of German ancestry and I don't speak German.

I'm surprised at how many non-Germans speak German.

Is it a good thing? :)

[dr4kkar]

I've been learning german and I find it kind of easy... kind of! My mother's language is spanish... I'm learning by a software, I do right the pronunciation and the listening. I'm using this channel to teach my ear and damn! they speak to fast! I understand just the 10% of what they say...

Well... I hope when I get there, I can find it easier to understand.

[cremetorte]

@dr4kkar puez, estoy aprendiendo espanol y tengo el mismo problema con espanoles :D hablan demasiado rapido para mi. Cuando quieres me gustaria hablar en skype contigo :)

[dr4kkar]

@cremetorte LOL same here... of course man... I will send you my ID on a message.

[dr4kkar]

@cremetorte sería genial, mi skype es "jraristi". Podríamos practicar =)

[xKirallyx]

2,80 für eine Brezel???

[MyZombie97]

@FleuryMalkin2971Ich habe dein Kommentar mal verbessert:

Danke für dieses Video. Ich will in Deutschland in Heidelberg studieren. Ich habe nur vier Monate lang die deutsche Sprache gelernt. Ich kann es noch nicht gut,aber ich lerne viel! nochmals vielen Dank! machs gut!

so klingt es besser:

Danke für dein Video. Ich will in Heidelberg (Deutschland) studieren. Ich habe nur vier Monate lang Deutsch gelernt. Ich kann es noch nicht so gut, aber ich lerne/übe viel. nochmals vielen Dank und mach's gut

[MeisterBierUndWurst]

We had the exact same kitchen in our Studentenheim in Dortmund! :)

[Datives]

Damn, Max is sexy. I would learn German if I could date him. xD

[MrsPueppilein]

Kennst du Gelsdorf... oder LakeCisco :D

[DerWahreDriftwood]

Jaja... die horizontale Durchlässigkeit des Bildungswesens treibt europaweit seltsame Ranken.

Revolutionär.

[kisame3151]

der klingt wie mein lehrer oder irgendein psychater alter fast lethargisch/hypnotisch

[MisterDense]

da läuft doch was zwischen max und lucia!

[TheSikiciCocuk]

Für 2,80 kaufe ich mir ein Döner und keine Brezel

[jojojoman78]

uhh die is sexy :D

[oernsboerns]

@TheSunmanho This is your oppinion. don´t make it look like its our view on americans. It isn´t!!!

[Kooshkff]

@SiggiNebel I was referring to using dirty words in german. In German they have more weight than in english and can be very offensive.

[Tchaikovsky09]

Would German speaking people mind it if I "half spoke English" and "half spoke German" to them? Or should I try to speak in either all English or all German to them? How much does this matter?

[SiggiNebel]

@Tchaikovsky09 You would probably get along with a mixtur of the two languages in daily life and I don't think that many people would mind, but still I would advise you to possibly try to say everything in German - in the run long, it's the easier way to the mastering of a language. Also, you would risk that many people answer in English which wouldn't really be helpful to you.

[moodytraxxx]

@Tchaikovsky09 wenn du das vorher ankündigst und dein gesprächspartner englisch kann, ist das schon ok. bei leuten unter 30 jahren, schätze ich das 85% sowieso englisch können, von 30 - 40 viellecht 65% mit jedem jahrzehnt mehr dann weniger englischsprecher. ist aber nur ne schätzung, grundsätzlich kann die mehrheit der deutschen englisch sprechen und verstehen.

[aekspresschonist]

@Tchaikovsky09

no, you could surely communicate in a mixture of both of the languages with anybody!

[Mimounskiii]

coole software

[Kooshkff]

@ichbineingummibear For me it is wrong to use such language. Although many times I've made the mistake. We have to remember that the German people ARE looking at us. And on some small level it will reflect our countries society. especially amongst older Germans. We have to remain respectful at all costs. Today I make thr promise to try harder. Are you with me? :)

[SiggiNebel]

@Kooshkff "We have to remain respectful at all costs." Wow, apoint of view that reminds me to the "white man burden". Are you afraid that we might revolt if we lose our respect for naive English speakers?

[JumpingCookie95]

Kann selber spanisch und lebe in Spanien kommt Lucia aus Spanien oder Südamerika?

[dirtynanchez88]

2,80 € für ne Breze? Das ist ja Wucher

[ControlWise]

I know this may sound like a ridiculously obvious and stupid question, but is it possible to study German Language (as a college major) in Germany? Do they have programs for that or does it have to be something in science or business?

[Kooshkff]

She learned to speak German like that in 6 months? Sorry, I don't believe it.

[DAADBonn]

@Kooshkff

well, she never said she learned to speak like that in half a year :-). No one can tell you how long it takes until you can talk in German fluently because that depends on so many different things. Just get started and see how it goes.

Best from Bonn!

[Kooshkff]

@DAADBonn

I've been speaking it for 2 years. I'm stuck at B1 though. I'm pretty sure that knowing English is what is holding me back. As soon as I make a mistake people want to speak English. :P

[ichbineingummibear]

@Kooshkff then tell them 'wenn du weiter Englisch redest dann kannst du mich am Arsch lecken'... or just refuse to answer them when they speak English. I do exactly that and I have very little problems with people wanting to speak english with me after. and surprisingly they take it pretty well, i think they're impressed that i still choose to speak german even though i could communicate in english easier. normally they grin and then will start speaking German. ;)

[Kooshkff]

@ichbineingummibear

German is a beautiful language. I don't think I would want to any rude words. That wouldn't be doing it justice. 

[ichbineingummibear]

@Kooshkff to each his own. :) i guess it depends on your settings and peers. normally i've speaking with people from 18-23 so they find it funny when i curse in german with an american accent. :P but i understand your point. there's a time and a place for it.

[ichbineingummibear]

@Kooshkff i've lived in Germany for 8 months now and my German was better than hers at 6 months... and i had never learned German in the U.S. All the German i learned i've learned here.

[Kooshkff]

@ichbineingummibear

Have you been to many parts of Germany?

It sometimes happens that dialects can get in the way. Many people do not speak hochdeustch where I live. It's very common to here hear schwaebisch expressions and pronounciation. Ich becomes ish just about every time. :)

[ichbineingummibear]

@Kooshkff yes, i live in oberbayern. :D i understand the dialect here. actually i live about 40 mins away from the part of bayern where they start speaking Schwaebisch but i've never noticed it, probably because i wasnt really speaking there (mostly shopping :P) but i also had a boyfriend who was from Frankfurt and his grandparents spoke hardcore Hessisch. o.O weirrrd stuff. :P I think dialects are beautiful, my boyfriend is bavarian and i beg him to speak it more often.

[oernsboerns]

@Kooshkff If you really want to learn a language you can manage to reach a level like this. Of course you need to try to only speak the language even if you make plenty mistakes in the beginning

[Kooshkff]

@oernsboerns

In 6 months it's very doubtful. German is very complex. It would require a very good school AND the dedication you just mentioned AND on top of that a very intelligent person.

[xorganizationxvx]

@Kooshkff I learned to speak German in a week. It's easy.

[Youmix93]

@Kooshkff Yes... it is possible...:P

German is not so difficult...really..;)

its only the grammar which is a little bit strange...:P

"Aber der Rest von dieser Sprache ist absolut leicht."

/But the rest of this language is very easy to understand

[cbmagnusw]

das mädchen in der Bäckerei ist zu hübsch! <3

[precious312]

We have the same name but mine is pronounced lou-chi-ah(Lucia)

[Streuselsturm]

ich kann mir nicht helfen ... irgendwie guckt Max sehr ernst ^^ Aber tolles Video trotzdem :) Gut erklärt und gut gesprochen

[WishMonkeyscanskype]

So basically im screwed 4 years of german for nothing

[DAADBonn]

@WishMonkeyscanskype

no, you're not screwed. Actually the opposite is true because if you decide to come to Germany for your studies it will be much easier for you to settle in and understand typical customs much better due to your language skills. It's all good! :-)

[WishMonkeyscanskype]

@DAADBonn Ahh i just hope i am not :-) Thanks for your help and kind words many Greetings from ireland! :)

[lalijew]

Wer auch Student in Deutschland ist, hungrig ist aber kein Geld hat, der hebt den Daumen!

[hpis2cool]

[xelasvetz]

[vuong0phong]

I'm planning to go to Germany on next June when i'm graduated but now my German is so poor. >,<

[FromDuskTillDawn1992]

alter was ne scheiße alles auswendig gelernt und die brezel kostet 2,80 ..ne is klar

aber trotzdem gute idee

[juanjitico]

1:10 that spanish girl is so in love with him



[mzjackofalltrades21]

Umm this guy is GORGEOUS lol now I'm excited to go see my father's German roots for the first time ;)

[doggis54]

he. is. hot.

i'm going to germany

[barbaraadela]

you're so handsome... I love you!! hhaha :D

[supertrex2]

ok, shes kinda cute and the girl at the bakery is kinda nice. what if your an ugly girl or guy speaking non german language in a crowded german grocery? will they still accept that or prolly speak english ?

[SiggiNebel]

@supertrex2 Hard to tell. It might depend on the kindness and politeness of the people in the grocery. Actually, some Germans are very nice and some are not. Yet, most of them won't bite, so it's worth to give it a try.

[supertrex2]

@SiggiNebel lol@ wont bite

[rakusko33]

Ich habe eine Frage: ich komme aus Peru, lebe in Argentinien und gehe dort in einer deutschen Schule. Ich habe aber, was die meisten nicht haben, 9 Jahre in Oesterreich gelebt, also kann ich deutsch praktisch perfekt. Ich wuerde gerne wissen, was meine Ansichten sind, in Deutschland zu studieren wenn ich KEIN internationales Diplom habe, das heisst das ich nur ein normales habe wenn ich die Schule beende, das aber beweist, dass ich gut Deutsch kann.

[DAADBonn]

@rakusko33

Du brauchst auf jeden Fall einen Schulabschluss, der gleichwertig zum deutschen Abitur ist, damit du direkt an einer deutschen Uni studieren kannst. Hast du diesen nicht, du möchtest aber trotzdem auf Deutsch studieren, musst du zumeist vorher einen Kurs am Studienkolleg absolvieren. Am besten schaust du, wo du studieren möchtest und fragst direkt beim International Office der Hochschule nach. Die helfen dir gerne weiter.

Beste Grüße,

Dein study-in.de-team

[mania00216]

yeah that s really f..in fast. it s supposed to slow. i couldnt understand nothing

[mania00216]

ye that s really f..in fast . it s supposed slow.

[Alientank]

I hope Max tapped that.

[coconito]

Wer ist das Mädchen, die in der Bäckerei arbeiten? Ich finde sie SEHR schon. Wenn alle Mädchen in Deustschland schön wie sie sind. Ich möchte in Deutschland nur nicht studieren, sondern leben auch.

[DAADBonn]

well, it has English subtitles so you should be able to follow along. You can always stop the video if it's too fast for you, too.

[FreeRunnerKory]

definatley thought this was gonna be in english. REALLY didnt expect spanish either... oh well, i guess i got to learn more before coming back to this video XD. thanks anyways

[cloud491]

shes hot

[ImakeYourDayGood]

woah ist er GEIL oder nicht???!!! :D

[hanks864]

@MUEREACOSTA Claro que sí... envíame tu correo electrónico por un inbox por favor. Un abrazo.

[hanks864]

@MUEREACOSTA Hola yo también vivo en Puerto Rico pero me acabo de mudar a USA... hablo Inglés también... me gustaría saber si vas para Alemania? Yo ya apliqué a un programa de Verano pero no sé todavía los resultados.. cuéntame si vas a ir para permancer en contacto. Gracias.

[JJtheJaxartosaurus]

I really like this, the style is really cool and helpful because I wanted to study for a semester or a year in Germany in college.

[ALIZINNIA]

She said that she took six months language courses at an adult education center without spend a lot of money, could you tell me please wich center is that?

Liebe Grüße

Anastasia

[DAADBonn]

@ALIZINNIA

unfortunately not. What Lucia actually tried to say with that is, that there are various opportunities to learn German in Germany. Our advice: Ask your university for course offers or check the current program of the Volkshhochschule (VHS), which every bigger German city has.

Best from Bonn,

Your study-in.de-team

[Moriarty1982]

@ALIZINNIA It's called "Volkshochschule"

[camus1986]

Lucía es muy bonita, qué mujer tan hermosa. No sabía que las españolas fueran así de bellas. Saludos!

[eugrus]

They rock:)

BTW ein Mädchen in dem Lebensmittelgeschäft war schön))))

[franco121760]

Nice

[Alexanderstuve]

this guy looks like tom cruise :P

[lesliegaitanos]

haha this is awesome. Im going to germany for a year. Español es mi idioma nativo, im fluent in english, und ich spreche ein keliner deutsch.

Thanks for the video ;)

[bassjorge]

@lesliegaitanos

me podrias ayudar en como aplicaste para irte a estudiar a alemania

[JuliaAdrianaMusic]

@lesliegaitanos Tu caso es simular al mio. El espanol es mi idioma nativo, and I've lived in the U.S. almost all my life. I will be moving to Germany soon for three years. I will have to learn deutsch, because I will be studying there. Hope you fare well. ^_^

[EvolutionXEngine]

hahahah the tongue thing...lol

[astrofireball]

[jusstess]

[blauephilosoph]
