It was at the beginnning very hard to understand some of the complex situations and filling in the documents at the government offices, becaus at the very beginning I lived in a small village, so they did not talk or understand english at all. But I could do that without any major problem. When I moved to the city most of the people knew basics of English and even more, but by the time I learned more German and I could make conversations with the people at shops and at the government offices when I renewed my student visa. At the university ther is no problem to communicate in English with professors or students. As an introduction to the German culture, the Universities offer a widre range of opportunities to be part of the community. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
