I spent the month of January living in Berlin. I took vlogs of my trip and the videos are up on my channel but I had an amazing time in Berlin and definitely wish I was able to stay longer. I just subscribed to your channel so I’m definitely looking forward to the Berlin/Living in Germany content!
I moved to Düsseldorf last June from London intentionally wanting a smaller city. Fortunately Düsseldorf has a lot of things to offer but I definitely see the interest of living in Berlin. I struggle with the language a lot and Berlin seems like such a relaxed place to speak English which is a huge disadvantage in Düsseldorf
How lovely that you like in Berlin! I'm going to move back (it's actually my home town) this year after almost 20 years abroad, for some personal reasons. I guess, finding a flat will be hard, and there are certain parts of the local culture, which I will find hard to re-adapt to, but as long as wonderful people like you choose the city as their place to live, I guess, it won't be that bad.
Berlin is the most beautiful,largest German city,that is also a city state and also the most favourable city for internationals,with an English only church,All Saints Church(church also has lower schools taught in English language).Berlin is the Best destination city for English speakers.Virtually,everyone speaks the English language in Berlin.Also,the best destination for tourists.
I’ve heard that Amsterdam has very high rates of English-speaking commonly spoken around the city, as well as Austria, especially Vienna having a high percentage of English-speaking and other cities, including in Switzerland, Stockholm, etc. So I wouldn’t say that it’s the best of the best I say it’s up there though
The open mind of most people and the fact that the majority simply agrees on minding their own business is actually the reason why i could, as if right now, not imagine another city to live in. All the nagatives Berlin has didn't affect my life that much so i am not really bothered by it. but to be fair, i have been living in my appartment for 11 years and also noticed how the rents around me jumped up continously. In comparison to other major German cities Berlin is no longer cheap, but relatively affortable if you can effort to keep an eye on the offerings over a period of time, you don't need to move spontaously and you are not as picky when it comes to the district. But yea, I always feel sad whenever i go back to a point about 10 years ago and see how much Berlin used to be ahead back then. But ey, I am happy to hear you found your place in one of the countless communities and wish you the absolute best. :)
Hi Zoie, i Love your Videos 🥰 and i can tell you it‘s not even easy for me ( a half black half white german girl ) who Lived in Stuttgart her entire Life to find good friends. Sometimes germans aren‘t quite open. So i get where you’re coming from. I‘ve never been in Berlin but trying to give it a visit soon 😍
I guess it would be a good idea, to explore more oppertunities and maybe join any type of club, organisation or group with a meaningful purpose!?😊 Sorry, but in my opinion it isn't beneficial to blame others for the own situation🙏🤗
I can’t choose wether I should settle in Berlin / Frankfurt or Dublin , I’m planning on buying a house but have no idea which city is worth it . Any tips in the comment section would help
If you haven't seen the flat prior to moving in you have a right to revoke your contract, I believe for 2 weeks after moving in. There is a general rule for right to withdrawal, which also applies to rented accommodation. But only in cases where there was no viewing before signing the contract.
Hi Zoie, even for r Germans it is difficult, to make Friends in Baden Württemberg, in Schwaben, the thing is If you do not speak the special Accent, Schwäbisch, you have no chance! I am from the North of Germany, and I do Not understand them! Berlin is a great City! Bye and greetings from Karin 🙋🏻❤️
Hi Karin, ich bin sogar Oberschwabe 😄 (ja, das gibt's wirklich; liegt im wesentlichen zwischen Donau, Iller und Bodensee bzw. Ulm, Kressbronn und Meersburg). Ich find's zwar gut, dass wir unseren Dialekt pflegen. Dass damit aber Fremde ausgegrenzt werden finde ich nicht in Ordnung. Zumal es keineswegs jedem leicht fällt Schwäbisch zu lernen und andererseits es befremdlich klingt, wenn man versucht unseren Dialekt einfach nur irgendwie zu imitieren. Bitte gibt freundlich zu verstehen, dass du unseren Dialekt nur schwer verstehen kannst. Es ist unhöflich, darauf nicht zu reagieren. Eine Schwierigkeit dabei ist, dass sich Schwaben leicht auf den Schlips getreten fühlen und unter Umständen meinen, dass du dich für etwas besseres hältst. Leider treten manche Menschen, die kein Schwäbisch verstehen, tatsächlich so auf, als wären wir ungebildete Ureinwohner. Das sollte man möglichst vermeiden. Insgesamt geht der Gebrauch des Schwäbischen nach meinem Eindruck sogar eher zurück, denn wir haben seit Jahrzehnten einen recht starken Zuzug aus verschiedenen Regionen in Deutschland und auch aus Osteuropa (Vertriebene, Übersiedler d.h. Menschen mit deutschen Vorfahren aus Osteuropa). Selbst in Oberschwaben höre ich junge Menschen in den Städten kaum noch Schwäbisch sprechen und wenn, dann ein sehr abgemildertes. Jugendsprache ist dabei meist das größere Problem😆 Auf jeden Fall finde ich es sehr bedauerlich, dass du bei uns solche Erfahrungen machen mußtest.
@@ZoieMarie Hi Zoie-Marie, I'm a Swabian. I regret that you've had bad experiences at communicating with people here in Swabia. It's definitely not ok. It shows a lack of respect and hospitality which everyone deserves to receive. With kind Regards.
@@MichaelBurggraf-gm8vl ich verstehe es einfach nicht, genauso wie sächsisch oder bayrisch! Vor allem wenn man an einer Hotline arbeitet und die Kunden sich einfach weigern hochdeutsch zu sprechen, ist es besonders unangenehm!
Oh yes, what a difference a city makes especially in Europe. City-goers are more open-minded and seem to be more open to foreigners. Glad that you now have your hands full!
I don't think you can blame a place or a country for how quickly you meet people or how you feel. I think it's more a matter of energy and attitude. You have to be creative and open to life's fates. If you have a strong energy, people will feel it no matter where you are. For example i live in Freiburg Baden-Württemberg, it isn't a big city but almost everybody is speaking english and is open minded. But i'm also a very open person, so i guess it's a matter of attraction😊✨🕉
I'm not speaking out for Germany, i'm speaking in general😊 Even in super touristic places like Spain, Italy, Greece.....have I met people who didn't know english, or were annoyed to speak it? On other hand, i guess people me included have to high expectations on how it will be. Sorry for being so honest😅
Biggest issue with Berlin is the crime and the kind of sub-cultures where people in parts of the city can't even speak German (Neu-Kölln for example) even tho they live here for 10 years +
Wow, you were really lucky because those kinds of offers are always fake😅 du hast ein echten erwischt 😅😅 I would never think in a thousand years that Berlin would be cheap I mean it's the capital of Germany.
Mostly cryptocurrency is the future, investing in it now is the wisest thing to do now, especially with the current dip, despite all the economic crisis this is the right time to start up an investment.
Strategy minimize risk and maximize profits. Trading with her has been incredible throughout the last few months, and I would recommend her strategy to any one ..
i moved to germany about a month ago and i properly cried because i don’t have friends yet and it’s been hard to meet people. it’s also harder because i live in a little village 🥲
Hello Nsuku, one opportunity to meet people is going to church, contacting a church community, protestant or catholic or another. People there are usually helpfull and really want to help. Visiting courses in your local public university, the "Volkshochschule", is another way to meet people. This approach has the advantage that it's easier to connect to people due to your common interests. Despite living in a small town I can visit an african shop, a combination of an african boutique and a cafe offering some african dishes around noon. Maybe something similar is around your place.

Berlin is great I think for making friends - so many internationals and opportunities to meet others
I guess it would be a good idea, to explore more oppertunities and maybe join any type of club, organisation or group with a meaningful purpose!?😊

Language does not matter IMHO. It is mentality. And then Stuttgart is more open minded then other parts.

Yes I love it here so much! And life seems much more full
You look really chic, love the outfit. Nice video.
Thank you so much 🤗
@@ZoieMarie You´re welcome!
zoie marie, is there a difference between the mindsets of people from the former west berlin and the former east berlin ?
I don't think you can blame a place or a country for how quickly you meet people or how you feel.
I think it's more a matter of energy and attitude.
You have to be creative and open to life's fates.
If you have a strong energy, people will feel it no matter where you are.

Outta context but I love your make up 😍😍
Do you think you will want to stay in belrin forever or maybe move more north in the future?
Thanks for your video. I learn my English from them. By the way, can you tell me where in Düsseldorf to look for a job with only knowledge of English?
I’m sorry, I don’t have this information 😞
If u were to rate how hard it is to find a House from 1 to 10
Biggest issue with Berlin is the crime and the kind of sub-cultures where people in parts of the city can't even speak German (Neu-Kölln for example) even tho they live here for 10 years +
Besides that, it is beautiful city and always something to do
i'm in love
Hi
Hw can I get help to study in Berlin??
You are gorgeous 😍😍
Thank you!!
lol Berlin is just a really big Camden to me ! part of london
Wow, you were really lucky because those kinds of offers are always fake😅 du hast ein echten erwischt 😅😅
I would never think in a thousand years that Berlin would be cheap I mean it's the capital of Germany.
Tee bitte
USA is cheaper when it comes to housing.
Berlin is not germany.
What is it then?
Mostly cryptocurrency is the future, investing in it now is the wisest thing to do now, especially with the current dip, despite all the economic crisis this is the right time to start up an investment.
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some
Crypto market controls the huge part of my passive income flow. I put in $55k about a month ago,now I have gained $178k with Mrs Justina Jackson.
Thanks for the contact information I'll contact her now
Justina Jackson literally saved me ,just before the crash she advised me to get out of my long position. I'll recommend her any day

What I did is joined an expat Facebook group and as well bumble friends and that helped me out a lot when I was living in a small village
Ok! Berlin sounding like Philly!!!
What’s Philly like!
😆 yes you will get yelled at while riding your bike in Philly because people just mad (my experience)
@@angeldykepolivka1992 Ah lol ok so yes very similar to Berlin
