I have seen this video from DW. It shows different perspectives of 3 migrants.

Video covers known things like difficulty of finding flat, high taxes or language barrier.

I would like to ask you, your perspective as migrant. Is this video from DW genuine?

Have you done anything and everything but you are also considering to leave Germany? If yes, why? Do you consider settling down here? If yes, why?

Do you expect things will get better in favour of migrants in the future? (better supply of housing, less language barrier etc) (When aging population issue becomes more prevalent) Or do you think, things will remain same?

  1. The first and third one are kind of the same – people who do not learn German to a high level are stuck in a small subset of cities where English-speaking jobs are common and demand for flats is high.

    When you learn the language, you can be a lot more flexible about where you live which opens up apartment opportunities in cities with less demand.

  2. I won’t comment on the other topics, but… you should expect that speaking German in Germany it’s going to be a big deal.

  3. from my perspective 1) low and un-integrated social life 2) unacceptance to the mainstream and 3) the dilemma in long run whether foreigners can stay or need to leave would be the main reasons.

  4. Having the “skills” without the language is like having €500k in a safe with no key, I get you have the money but what good is it when you can’t use it?

  5. i have always find it so weird how germany has a bunch of immigrants and yet it’s still so adverse to adapting english
