Last month, I was part of layoffs of my org. Fortunately I found a job and I'm starting from first of June. I applied for unemployment benefits when I got laid off, but now I want to withdraw my application for it. I have emailed them but haven't received any response, do I need visit in person? Or would a call suffice? (I only speak English and my German is at super basic level) submitted by /u/khaymanz [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm 21f from the US, married to a 25m from DE for 2 years, together 5. We're super similar, spending all day together, sharing humor, politics, and interests. We work great together. However, he's often quiet and non-emotive, which makes me feel like he's mad at me, although he denies it when I ask. He's very serious and methodical, even counting calories per dollar before any food purchase, while I'm more spontaneous. He rarely offers feedback unless I ask or he's really passionate about something. I wonder if this is typical for German guys or if he might have autism. Also, his glances when ..read more

Hello there! There's an item that I've been searching for years with on sale there. The seller said they might sell the item on ebay internationally but hasn't done so yet. I want to see if the user would be able to sell to me, but I can't register to the site as I'm from the US. I tried posting to r/germany as most Kleinanzeigan posts were there, but I guess they might've had a rule change recently regarding these types of posts. Thank you so much! submitted by /u/Backwardslongjumps [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I went to my local supermarket and only found this whitish cream colored senf but nothing like the typical bright yellow colored mustard sauce. There was ketchup, mayonnaise, all kinds of other sauces like "burger sauce" but no mustard sauce. It was really strange to me like I was dreaming because I've been to several other countries all over the globe but this is my first time not seeing mustard sauce in the supermarket. submitted by /u/United-Road-7338 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Yo, i wasn't active at all for 2 years trying to see what would work for me. Got pretty tired of it and regret it somehow but not fully, can't say i would be the same without having the exact prior decisions. To cut story short. Aside Oberhausen which i've been to many times in the past month, where else do they love and blast heavy metal,trash,old rock and many more of this genre? Where else does the community have lots of metal heads, not to forget the main part. I'm fine with old folks i just don't feel like doin rest of my late teens with them. I will be moving to Oberhausen or Bochum in ..read more

Hi all, so I am working as a software engineer more that an year for a german project. My colleagues are germans but we all speak with each other english. I am trying to improve my german so sometimes I am greeting them in german but I get always a response in english. Also I have tried chatting with a colleague in german, but like after the third message she switched to english. Is this common for germans to not speak german with foreigners? submitted by /u/Kosta0112 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Title. Basically, I've been living in the Stuttgart region for about 2 months and, were it not for a particular delivery company (that shall remain unnamed, as the daily 11-hour shifts have turned my hairs white), I would still be out of a job. Nevertheless, armed with a university diploma in applied computer science in german, a couple of internships and a year of freelancing, coupled with a Goethe B1 Zertifikat in german, I was sure that finding a junior programming position wouldn't be the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Somehow, this search has turned into a war of attrition between my ..read more
