1. I mean, you can’t really expect the nature of a people to change in less than a century

2. Why not learn the language?

3. I don’t get it, he complains about needing to speak German in Germany.

4. Ozon is not Turkish, he looks like a descendant from former European slaves or converts. Buçan probably comes from Serbia, Croatia or less likely Slovakia or Romania.

5. That is pretty sad, to bw honest. I am German and I, too, would hope that we (not just Germany, but the qhole of Europe) finally establish English as a second official language. We have been in the process of becoming one on so many levels, with a common currency with many members and free movement for citisens in the Schengen area, so having a language that helps one get around everywhere is a logical next step – and English would be a logical choice as it is already effectively a world language.

6. This is odd, I wonder where in Germany he was. In the bigger cities, everybody speaks English well enough, people don't really expect German from you.

7. Im a WFM specialist and i have a salary of 1200€ net in Albania ( 3 times more than the average ), and I have a 140 sq house, and im coming to Germany to start working as a delivery driver with a salary of 2000€ net and a rent of 650 for a room! Becouse Germany offer to you social security, real health care, justice, and lot of perspectives. People have to understand no one its obligated to tolerate or accept an apsence of skills but everyone have to thanks the opportunity received and fight for better life growing day by day and merging with sistem which its successful becouse that sistem its the reason you and me have choose Germany!

8. Netherlands have their own far right issues. I don't know if that will be much different for you. And I doubt Dutch will be easier to learn than German, but good luck to you.👍🏻

9. Big mistake buddy, big mistake. Why I’m saying this is because it’s strange to host the international court of justice and in the same time (a few km away) you have Rotterdam known in whole world as the European capital of cocaine. That says a lot. 💀

10. Gut, die ubermensch seig!

11. He’s able to just go from place to place and change his language and demands.

12. Back in 2016, when I was in the emigration while returning back Singapore after a short business trip in Berlin the emigration officer asked some questions in Germany and I was got amused and then he replied that I am supposed to speak some German!

13. Sie ist vielleicht die bescheidenste und herzerwärmendste Person, die es gibt😊😊😊

14. There are literally millions of Turks in Germany, most of whom are second and third generation immigrants. Their parents and grandparents certainly had bigger problems with integration and the language barrier than he did. But if he thinks that after three years of not learning German, he'll have an easier time not learning Dutch, then he should give it a try. Good luck with that. Good riddance.

15. The problem is not speaking in German. It is about welcoming. I am living in Germany for past 10 years. I have travelled to other countries, in my experience Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands people is ready to switch in English when we struggle. In Germany even they know English it will take few minutes of hesitation to speak in English.

16. That has always has been the German mindset. You then have it or not.

17. Many people feel like you when they are in Turkiya

18. Beautiful! It's good DW is talking about this.

    Best wishes to the guy!

19. Turkey but he is white and have blue eyes. The average german don't have blue eyes😂😂😂

20. Wants his cake and to eat it
