For someone like me who doesn't understand German language, is it possible to go on with the daily life interacting with the locals in English?
- Bombthecat 10y agoEnglish is taught in every school in Germany. You should have it easy to get by.
- johnomarkid 10y agoI don't speak German. In Berlin it's not a big problem, particularly in certain neighborhoods where even waiters at restaurants may not speak German.
- Fnoord 10y agoIn Berlin, sure. The elder may not be able to understand your English. Some rules of thumb: 1) The younger, the more likely to be able to speak English. 2) Rural area less likely to speak English (well) compared to big cities and tourist areas. 3) In IT/tech world in Germany you should have far less problems than say farmers. I'd say those count in general though :) if you go to Amsterdam people are much more likely to speak English than a local, small Dutch town foreigners generally haven't heard about. And, English is very practical in our globalised world. Make no mistake about German though; it is also a practical language in Europe.
