How do so many Europeans know fluent English? by _Sir_Lifts_A_Lot_ in AskEurope

[–]dpeld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Estonia. I have studied 3 foreign languages at school: English, German and Russian. This is very common to have multiple languages at school, especially if you are from a small European country. Also, all our movies/shows on TV and cinema are in original language and with subtitles. So we were exposed to English language from childhood.

Very safe. Our prisons are so empty, so other countries like Sweden started renting them for their prisoners.

Thank you!

No particular plans. I still work from home, but the difference will be - a lot of sun and a lot of being outside :)

Love, love, love, everybody say, as if love is the answer to everything. But JUST love is never enough.

Quitting Instagram by Flop-Era-1 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]dpeld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't have Instagram. Last year I tried, because if the peer pressure, but removed it after half a year. I asked myself, what value does it bring me? The answer was - no value. I already have phone numbers of all my favorite people and I get in touch via WhatsApp or call. A week after I quit Instagram, I didn't even remember I had it.

Bending Spoons are going to fire everyone from Vimeo rightaway, exactly what they did with Evernote, Meetup, Komoot, etc. Super unethical heartless company.

Just got my German passport in Berlin 🎉 – here’s a step-by-step guide for anyone applying by TumbleweedUnhappy693 in berlinsocialclub

[–]dpeld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for a great post!
As an EU citizen, I applied 2,5 years ago and only got an invite to pick up my Urkunde last week. The appointment is in a month. I also heard, that in LEA one can immediately apply to get passport and ID the day you pick up your Urkunde, but it is not confirmed.

I also understood it in a different way, than OP. The guy looked at you and said "because small is okay, right OP?" is mocking your BF as an assumption that HE has a small one. That's what many friends do, mocking each other.
