Jen, I really love your English! Although you talk very fast I understand every word. And the Spanish accent makes it a pure pleasure to listen to it. And of course the video is very well made, informative and presented muy simpático.
Just found your channel and I have to say it is amazing. Currently I am moving to Munich to start my new job and your channel and website is proving to be very helpful for me. Thanks a lot for such a great content. Keep up the great work! 👍😀
Difference between ebay kleinanzeigen and plain ebay is that ebay kleinanzeigen doesn't involve the bidding process of traditional ebay. You just talk directly to the other person instead of entering a bid. It's a bit like craigslist in the US based on what i heard.
Another difference (in addition to Jens W.) between ebay kleinanzeigen and normal ebay is that Kleinanzeigen is (in many cases) for free for the seller. Only if you sell more than 50 items within 30 days you will have to pay a fee for the further cases.
Estoy mirando muchos de tus videos porque me voy a Alemania a estudiar, y ahora me entero de que estás en Düsseldorf! Yo voy a Kleve, pero ya desistí de buscar apartamento ahí, espero encontrar algo allí en Düsseldorf que hay un poco más de oferta, aunque no está muy cerca que digamos 😄. Saludos!
Thanks for the great videos! Planning to move to Aachen later this year, so the information is super useful! Could you talk about some ways to meet new people and make friends outside of work? (You guys mentioned that it is not very easy to make friends in Germany, so could you share how you went about doing that?)
So the whole Covid-19 situation of course changed things and the most common way of meeting new people these days is via MeetUps on meetup.com or expat groups. Thanks a lot for that question, we will record a video on that topic in the future 😊
Maybe an eleventh would be "KATWARN" or "NINA" that are used to warn you in case of an emergency/catastrophe". It is Not used often but maybe IT can save your health...
Hi Jim, thanks for your feedback 😊. We have listed all the apps with their time stamps of the video in the description below the video. Hope that helps!
How does WhatsApp work if you purchase a German phone plan, eSim or what not? (I just watched your video on “what are the best eSim providers in Germany”) If you have data through that phone plan, would you still be able to use SMS, if you needed to? Sorry of this query doesn’t make much sense.
As far as we know WhatsApp is based on your phone number, e.g when we travel to the US, we get a local SIM card for data but still use WhatsApp with the connected German number. If you want to send SMS you need a German phone number and plan that offer everything and not just data. Hope that makes sense.
Woah, thanks! I was slightly surprised about Whatsapp though, I know a German person who's not using it (and other messengers and Facebook) for privacy reasons, so they're sending sms! As I don't know a lot of Germans, I just assumed there are a lot of people like that, but good to know that it's not that widespread!
Uber has been working fine in big cities in Germany for the past years. We haven’t heard anything about it being banned in Hamburg. You can always use Free NOW as an alternative - it’s an app to call taxis to your location.
That is a good question. We have great experience with the pre installed Apple weather app, so we can't really tell you alternatives. Wetter.com seems to have an app as well, maybe you can give that a try 😊
Hi, I just wanna ask because my husband got a job offer in Germany and we want to move together to Germany with our 1-year-old child. Is it possible that the three of us can move together? We are Filipino citizens and currently residing in Saudi Arabia. Hoping to got feedback from both of you thank you
We aren't lawyers, so we cannot advise you personally. However, Germany does offer family reunification visas for spouses and minor children, so you should be able to move to Germany as well.

She does not have big accent to me. I'm a native English speaker. I also speak Spanish
That sounds like a standard north american accent tbh.

Wow, in Pakistan we use WhatsApp since 2009 and before that ICQ, MSN messenger etc.

Are there any updates on apps that are needed??
Hi, can you teach us how to sell used stuff? I've found your videos very useful
Thank
Woah, thanks! I was slightly surprised about Whatsapp though, I know a German person who's not using it (and other messengers and Facebook) for privacy reasons, so they're sending sms!

Well, I'm sure there are more messenger apps used in Germany, however, as to our knowledge, private and business WhatsApp is the most widespread.
