Re: Learning German to find a job

Has anybody in EF actually come here with No German language skills, not married a local and successfully picked up enough of the lingo to land a job as a professional ?
Yup indeedy!

IMO, in a case of "applicant must have fluent German" then you are indeed
stuffed. No way round that.

If, however, it's a case of "have several possible applicants with varying
strengths and weaknesses, how to narrow the choice down?" then the
ability to speak some (not necessarily fluent) German could very well tip
the balance in your favour.

And, believe it or not, with a good teacher and a motivated bunch of
classmates, it can be good fun learning
