What do you think about "learn German" circle jerk Germans do on internet?
I came here as master student, studied in English, graduated, managed to find English speaking job in IT I have been working for 5 years. I am planning to leave Germany next year. I got okayish German skills but I never understand "learn German" circle jerk on the internet. It is completely possible to live here without knowing German.
At the beginning I did courses, went on meetups, used apps etc. super keen to learn it, although in my job there’s no need to speak it, there were still a few Germans complaining and acting nazi about it.
With time I got a bit irritated by it, especially when it was used as an excuse to invalidate my opinions and I cut off from any career progress because my language was not good enough. Funny, I really don’t need German in my job, and even if I would, I would still speak English 90% as everyone is from everywhere in my field.
Now my German is a decent conversational level, but I don’t speak it with anyone except I really have to. Most of the times I used it to talk back to some misbehaved ogre and so.
I don’t want to speak their language with them. It’s even more annoying when you see them proudly correcting your accent, grammar and sparkle with joy to feel superior.
Miserable, boring, jealous, selfish, inconsiderate, xenophobic, lazy, overcomplaining, boring, boring, BORING people. Depressed and drugged. Twisted. Perverts. Shallow. Inefficient. Two faced.
i work in a completely german office only with the germans.
all are in my age and the only humour they have is just making jokes and bulling/ mobbing each other. no hobbies, only money money money.. a lot of childhood trauma and so on.
im isolated here in the land of Brandenburg and thinking about going back to my home country. those motherf*ckers are too low level for me. the only thing which is ok is my salary and the thing that even if i loose my job i have the state support which is not so existing in my home country. im searching for other place to work, tomorrow is another job interview, so im kinda stuck.
Do you guys feel like Germans are a bunch of hypocrites?
For example why do they constantly recruit foreigners to their "startup" or "cultural" hub only to diss them, is it because they need to use the hard work of foreigners to get tax for the unemployed germans and the kindergeld?
ps berlin is a prime example of why socialism doesnt work.
True, but when you relocate someone for a contract, it’s only common sense to disclose the salary both gross and net value, and not to let them hit the brick wall after they changed their whole life and moved… Everyone does their own research, sure, but some punctual things should be transparent.
There’s a reason why cherman economy will always lag behind us economy. These people are xenophobic to the bone, and it hurts them so hard when the auslander can work better and faster than all the Chermans in the office combined. It hurts their mf patriotism and leave all their work to me and hang around and are complete assholes. Morons. Useless. Lazy. Crap.
You learn their language, you read their newspapers and books, and when you want to talk to them, the Germans refuse to talk to you because you don't have the right dialect. I graduated from the Faculty of Education and I know that for an adult it is almost impossible to change dialect. I've stopped talking to these ignorant people and pretend I don't understand at all. It's horrible to listen to those morons then talk bad about you because they believe you don't know German. So this is their worldliness and open-mindedness? I've never seen anything like it in England, Ireland, Australia or Prague! I'm so disgusted. Luckily I'm going to Spain in March and I can't wait. Seville will be great.
Ironically enough, Germans do tend to have a thick accent when speaking foreign languages (if they ever get to do this).
As you noted, the tactless tendency to look down on someone because of speaking the local language with any sort of foreign accent is something you fail to see in other countries.
German society is a cancer. These sociopaths are incredible…
My experience in Berlin was shocking, and in 5 years this place will be a full on third world country… It’s regressing day by day. It’s already worst and less progressive overall than the poor parts of Europe in the 90s…
Nazis or Islam, same same.
One “true” and superior trait (race or faith) in fundamental ideas. Everyone else is less than worthy, an infidel.
Do this, do that, poop like this, obey, don’t think, don’t ask.
Stone the gays, gas the Jews… I repet, don’t question. Do as your “prophet” says, he knows best, morals and all… Follow blindly and you’ll have a good life.
Germany as a future islamic state is just a return to their recent ancestors. Good luck with that.
I vote AFD. And i dont care what you think. Lololol
If ou are considering going to Berlin, let me warn you, it's full of Commie, brainwashed, lefty, woke, SJW, virtue-signalling, AntiFa fascist morons, who have never had an original thought come out of their minds, just rhetoric from Mao's Little red Book and Das Capital. These, lazy imbeciles wouldn't last a week in Communist China.
They never actually read Kapital, it's just a prop to signal commitment. Mao hasn't been read since '68, and even then only sparingly. They read and regurgitate tertiary sources - which is pretty much the trend everywhere, but German academia is especially awful.
Do you know any foreigners in Berlin that "made it" by Berlin standards without a leg up from their families, because I dont.
Why do majority of them answer the questions on Reddit / Quora etc like "Is 2000€ net salary good?" with "It depends on various things like where you live" I mean, sure but It was not the intention of the question. Can't they really understand the actual meaning / intention of the question? Why do they give the most literal answer to the questions? "It depends" Ohh really? I have not thought about It thanks
Tragic for the little ones. That’s super plucked… Unfortunately, growing up with those creeps might have been damaging anyhow, still… plucked up.
Shows exactly how selfish, narrow and psycho Germans can be. I might get downvotes but… more like that should follow. We don’t need these abominations walking among us. The world is a better place without them.
Do you ever wonder what is wrong with someone and then realize wait a second, they’re just stupid? A lot of the Berlin pop... save yourselves the time and energy and just realize they are dumb
If berlin was a person, it'd be the 40 year old guy at a college party
do you know anyone whose visa expired from germany? and how did they fare after, as we all know nobody in berlin has any money? like how do you pay for your new life then?
You get a job…
Not working - even in s*ith*Le Berlin - is a choice. There are so many things one can easily do (even „simple“ deliveries). We all go through struggles and no money phases in life, but it’s all about what we make most out of it… Without finding loopholes to avoid responsibility and clinging on X or Y to get away easily.
If you have a purpose, maintain a livelihood, the expiring visa should not be a concern… when you contribute even a bit somehow to something, you‘ll not be kicked out.. But if you don‘t know how to survive after, why do you even want the visa anyway?
I am not saying this in a bad spirit. I am grateful for what I had, and if I wouldn’t, I would try to make some ends meet, even if that means doing poop jobs for a while… It’s actually grounding and builds a good character towards being grateful in the end. You learn to appreciate, be understanding of others and less judgmental… If I‘d constantly fail to be on my two feet, I‘d leave and take a leap of faith somewhere else, maybe start fresh at home and accept defeat…
Why stay here, be poor and miserable?
I have enough money, I just don’t like it at social level and dealing with sociopaths…
I am not sure I understand this:
When you say nobody has money, do you refer to yourself? Or you hope someone with money with take you in to pay for your new life or something like that?
If the first, then as said above, get a job. That’s how we all do it. LOL
If the later… no comment.
