What does quick enough mean? How much of the language do you want to learn? As a native speaker I can’t comment on how hard it is to learn the language but working with people that are new to Germany here and there, some of them are amazingly fast at learning the language. Others don’t care too much so they need more time. From the outside it seems doable.
- whitepoplar 5y agoMy thought is that if I only spend 1-2 years in a place, if it takes me a year or more to learn the language, I may be ready to leave by the time I've gotten a handle on it.
- randomluck040 5y agoHow fluent do you want to speak? I think you’ll manage to get by in German speaking places but learning the language isn’t easy. At least that’s what other people say, I grew up with it, for me things intuitively make sense somehow haha. As for me I’d go somewhere with better weather, a little closer to the equator I believe.
- whitepoplar 5y agoI think my bar for learning a language is being able to fit in socially without being "that guy who only speaks English/broken [insert language]". I'm sure I could learn barebones German in a short while, but feeling shut out of social activity because I don't speak with fluency doesn't sound like a fun.
